n The STORY OF A 70 sE.--A rose with so
prctty title and so full of romance as
this ought to be beautiful, and so is the
Cherokee rose. Here is the story told Of
it: =. ~
An Indian chief of the Seminole tribe
was taken prisoner by his enemies, the
Cherokees, and doomed to torture, but fell
SO seriously i'll thatit became necessary to
wait for his restoration to health before
committing him to the fire. He lay prostoa-
ted BY disease in the caoin Of the Cherokee
warrior, the daughterof the latter, young
dark faced maid, was his nurse. She fell
in love with the young chieftain, and
wishicg to save his life, urged him 10 es-
cape But he would not do 30 unless sne
would flee with him.. She consented. Yet,
before they hsd gone far, impelled by soft
regrets at leaving home, she asked per-
mission Of her lover to return for the pur-
pose Of bearing away some memento OF 1t.
So. retracing her foot sleeps, she broke
sprie from the white rose which climbed
up the poll Of her fathers tent and pre-
serving it during her fight through the
wilderness, planted it by the door Of her
new home in the land Of Seminoles. And
from that time to this, the beautiful flower
has been known between the cape OF
Florida and throughout the Southern States
by the name Of the Cherokee Rose.

this punishment is constantly being ap'

A DWELLING HOUSE SINKS INTO COAL
MIKE--Two CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH.
"A gentleman from Cleveland, Ills, yes
terd ny, brought news of u terrible calami-
ty which occurred near that place on FRI
day last. The locality of the accident was
Bakers coal mine. The house of miner
named Robert Spargo stood directly over
an old chamber Of the mine. On Friday
afternoon the earth under the house sud
denly sunk, causing the dwelling to drop
into a cavity to depth of four or FIVE feel.
Mrs. Spargo and four children were gath
cred about stove in one of the rooms.
The floor gave wny and the stove went IN.
to the cavity below, and the mother and
her children were precipitated upon 1t
and the fire which had fallen from it. Sew
eral men working not far distant saw the
house sink and ran towards the place;
but before they reached the house the
heartrending screams of Mrs. Spargo ana
the children, and the smoke, which was
pouring out of the house, told them of the
horrible situation the family was in. The
men rushed into the yard, took water
from some barrels, entered the house, and
ceded in extinguishing the fire about
the woman and her little ones. But when
they took Mrs. Spargo and the children
out, the spectacle, they presented was so
perfectly aw full as 10 be sickening. One
child, q girl in her fourth year, was burn
ed 10 death. Another, younger than the
deceased, was burned so that she died the
next day. Mrs. Spargo and the other two
children W ere burned in frightfnl man.
ner, though at last accounts oil three were
living. The clothes of all were burned
away, mostly, their heads were singed,
and the flesh on their faces and limbs and
bodies blistered, hanging in some places
in bloody shreds. All were taken to the
house of neighbor, and the doctors in
Cleveland were soon with the poor VIC
tins, with remedies, and everything pos.
sible was done to alleviate their sufferings.
But the saving Of any Of them was
doubtful.
Mr.. Sparge was absent at the time OF
the accident. He was not aware of the
condition of things beneath the site when
he purchased the property.-Dausnporf

How Jhstieo 10 Administered on the
border,
From The Topeka Commonwealth.

From the Topeka Commonwealth.
when the Ranras Pacific train from
Denver reached Wallace, on wednesday
morning, the train men, who 80 no furth'
err than that station eastward from Den
YER, partook Of their breakfast and then
retired 10 bed, AZ IL their customary habit.
Two Of these men, Chas. Silllman and
Dick Herring, the former baggegeman
and the latter brakeman, occupied one
room ioge ther al the station house. Still
man had pair Of new eighteen dollar
boots, Of fine workmanship, which he
placed near his bed and put his vest, con-
tanning n small amount Of money, under
his pillow. Herring had In his clothing a
horseshoe mai, q comb and q tooth brush,
and twenty-five cents in money. The two
slept long and soundly, and when they
awoke, and Siillman attempted to put on
his boots, he discovered that his nice ones
had become strangely metamorphosed,
having turned into q pair OF coarse six
dollar affairs. The boys then began
searching their clothing, and Herring
found that his horseshoe nail, comb, brush
and money were gone. They then began
investigating the matter. Stillman sus'
pected fellow who had been working his
way along the road rs fireman, and thought
he had gone of on a freight train; but he
was shortly afterward found at the table
eating his dinner. Stillman then went to
man in Wallace who sells boots, and
asked him II he had any liked the ones
the thief had left him, and the storekeeper
said he had, and further, pointed out the
fellow who had bought them. ltproved to
be the identical chap then at his meal,
Pat Greeny, deputy sheriff, was summon
ed, and when the yonng man finished eat
ing, the officer told him that he wanted to
see him little whilel They took him in
TO a back room and investigated his foot
gear, and sure enough there were Still
mans boots. Furthermore, he had n his
clothing the articles taken from Herring.
Pat Green y, the deputy sheriff, thereup-
on constituted himself court, and the
evidence being of the most positive kind,
no pronounced the prisoner "guilty," and
proceeded at once TO pass judgment upon
the offender. The court didn't tumble over
law books or statutes any-not he; neither
did he assess damage or pass sentence in
the good old style. He had his man right
before him, and being practical sort Of
fellow, he just "passed the culPrit one"
with his clenched fist, letting him have the
benef of n demolishipg blow between the
eyes. This laid the offender out on the
floor, and the court administered another
dose of "justice" to him as he lay there,
when col sidering that he had gone to
the extent Of the "law,-"Wallace law, he
told him most emphatically to 'gct up and
dust himself" right away, and tho fellow
"dusted," and he didn't wait for train,
either. .t. . ..r"

MY. We find tho fnlloMinn e,

Rag We find the following ex-
tract of a letter from Hon. Jno. W..
Lane, one of the aldermen. Of this
city, in the Dallas News of last
week. 1t gives Capt. LIS views on
the action of the. board of Mayor
and aldermen in regard to the sala-
ry of Mayor and City Attorney, in
plain terms. lie is one Of those
representative men who believe
that ample compensation should be
made to the public servants, whom
the people dcpute TO execute their
laws, but is clearly opposed to leav-'
ing the question of salary entirely
in the hands of those who receive
them, for adjustment! TheCaptain
has placed himself right on the ren
cord and will doubtless move iae-
lively in securing the repeal of the
ordinance lately passed by the
board of Mayor and aldermen, fix
ing the compensation of tbs Mayor
and City Attorney and which has
occasioned an untold amount Of
complaint by those whoahavo to.

interest in placing our city out of debt
and under the government Of good, whole

pose would necessarily be light. With
this desire, and belief that majority Of
the board were working for the same end,
YOU can better imagine than can picture
my feelings, when saw this work OF our
authorities. The citizens are now willing
TO pay liberal salary TO her officers, but
do not think II should be entertained for

salary equal to the Governor Of our State,
and our city Attorney salary equal. to
the Attorney General for the State.

Noah's Real Name.

1t is said that the Chinese declare that
Noah's real name was All Boo, and that he
resided in Pekin. Unfortunately, Noah
family Bible was lost in the flood, and we
cannot ascertain from it what his name
was. His door plate also seems to be
missing, and he had avery careless way OF
neglecting TO mark his shirts; so we are
baffled in that direction. We have inquir-
ed ct the libraries FRA copy of the Pekin
directory of that date, to see if Noah re-
ally figured in lie pages, but the only copy
any of them had WINS out. Fer our part,
we do not believe bis name was All Boo,
or that he resided in Pekin. These Chi
namen claim everything that is going,
from gunpowder up to newspapers. II
we give them any ground on the Noah
business, The first thing we know they
will be out with henssertion that the ark
