It will be seen from the above that
Grimes means business. In fact,
Grimes establishment looms up SO
conspicuously in our city that we are
all proud Of it. And from hia gener-
GUS way of doing things as well as
building in our midst, at great cost his
mann 9th establishment, he is entitled to

why can't all our manufacturing cs-
tablishments, and the merchants OF
the city, initiate other places as we'll
and do generally as Grimes, and give
something to aid the farmers show,
and close their establishmentbafor two
or three days in the year and 60 and

business. Hurrah for Grimes.
The list is not YET in type, you hav q
time yet, gentleman for day or two,
to offer premiums, in any particular

SLAUGHTER OF CATTLE BY INDIANs.-A let
Ter from Pueblo, Colorado, dated 5th inst.
says tnat on September 28th p,rty of some
'"ree hundred Indians, c c,nssting of Cheyen-
nes, Araphoes and Kiowas came into Arkan-
sas valley from the Sous h and camped oppe-
si'e Fort Lyon, near Las Ausmos. Ibe com
lnanoing officer as Fort Lyon had talk with
the chie's, but cDuld learn nothing of the
intentions OF the Indians They claimed the
country as their own and said that they pro-
poseo TO roam over it as they pleased. They
were all warriors, armed with breech-load,ny
governments riti s, one or two good revoivers
each, ana bows, spears, etc., and each had An
extra led horse. The Comm andment at Fort
Lyon requested the Indians to return to their
reservation, to which they replied that they
would go when they got ready and talked
very lmpudently. Two days afterwards they
lett, and procetding up the Arkansas river
through the settlement, divided into Sun all
parties along the various tributary streams
and began an indiscrIminate slaughter and
stampeding of cattle, compelling the herders
TO look for them. This continued about
week, during which time several hundred
head OF cattle were killed, and excitement
ana CONSERVATION created am Jny the settlers,
a large number of whom hocked 10 to Pueblo
and other towns. At last accounts the In-
dians were going towards the settlements on
Los Amos river, below Trinidad, and citizens
were arming for defence. Several small COM
panies have gone out already to defend the
settlements. Two or three herders who at
tempted to defend their herds are reported to
have been killed. The Indians came from
The reservation near Fort 81 |. Military aid
has been asked for, but none had been re-
ceived up to the date OF the letter

TaE New ED lRADO. We do not remem-
her exactly how many Eldorados have been
found in the far W, st within the last d. Zen
wears, but the last one is on the San Juan
River, in the vicinity OF the north west
corner OF New Mexico. The other day a
modest telegraph dispatch announced that
treaty had been concluded with the Ute
Indians by which certain piece of land
had been ceded to the government. 1t now
appears that the motive for this treaty,
made by one branch, was the supposed rich
ness Of the mineral resources therein cCn-
tanned. This tract of land is said to brace
1000 acres of the richest mineral lands in
the world. Five hundred valuable lea0s
have already been opened. One mine turns
out $1,000 day. and has been sold for
halt million; another yields $4,000 to
$4,000 a ton, still another $1,000: and be-
sI'es silver and gold, iron, coal aid lead lie
around loose and abundant. Immense veins
Of iron, copper and coal crop out OF the
mountain sides, and one vein OF Lead SIX
feet IN thickness has been found. Uodoubt-
edly there are rich mineral DEPOSITS in all
the new region now opened up, but these
reports have too much the flavor of the
Diamond Eldorado discovered in the west
le = an couple of years ago, but which
So =. - .anished into empty humbuggery.
Probably the new found Eldorado will
last no longer than the latter. The report
the explorers give of the grandeur OF the
mountain scenery and the wonderful cah-
yons. 1t will be safer to credit. At one
point the late explorers report they saw
100 peaks at once that probably were from
IA 900 to $4,000 feet,-great monster masses
OF snow, ice and rock, towering amid the
clouds almost perpendicular.

tuesday morning, discovered the body of
man lying in the ditch by the roadside, near
the old fort ground, detd. 1t was storming
hard at the time, and the body had damned
the stream made by the storm until it was
entirely submerged, only the head, which
rested on higher ground. being visible. Upon
examination, it proved to be the body OF
| bomas Bradley, an employe of the New
York and C,nada railroad, who has the re-
pu alton OF being a hard working-man and
only induglng in an occasional spree but,
it Is thought, that it is owing to one OF these
that he lost his lie. The deceased leaves a
wife and two small children, who are prob
ably destitute, and adds ano ther to the long
list whose epitaph is " Killed by poor rum"
And how much better than a murderer is he
who dealt out the villanous compound
which sent the poor victim, all unprepared, /,
into the presence of his Maker, and added
three more to the widows and orphans of
our land? -Rutiand Herald.

A New CLASS OF WEATHER TALKERs.-The
weather has been made topic ofconversation
since men and women beg IN to talk. Ssran-
gers, bashful people, lovers in the presence
OF cold and unteeling world. those who
have nothing to say and cay it, and those
who have something to say but are un-
willing to say it-in short, all kinds of peo-
pie have at one time or another fallen back
upon the weather, so to speak, fo: support
In any trying emergency of speech. And
now this favorite and fruitful, but usually
domestic, theme of discourse has been eleva-
ted-thanks to General Meyer, of the Signal
Service-to be the subject of International
communications
The adoption by the Vienna Congress of
General Meyers proposition, to the effect
that in all civilized countries provisions ought
to be made for taking and recording an obser-
walton of the weather daily and at the same
to be intefchanged by the governments of
these countries-marks the beginning of this
change. Thus, once day the governments
OF the world intend to hold high discourse
concerning the weather. The great differ
ence between these International aud the
private weather talks will probably CONSIST
ln this that the International communica-
tlons will deal with facts and will be of con-
siderable value, particularly in preparing a
science of storms, whereas most private talk
on the weather Is the most aimless of all the
aimless gabble with which the sons of men
fill the world.
