not particularly dazzled, IN fact tns5
there was another such IN the WoTIo, i
took a gold pencil from my pocket and

nonplused, but, as she wore no earrings,
I felt that, after all, was even with

she studied attentively two whole min

turned TO me as If TO say, Well go

LATE NEWS SUMMARY
WEST.

Three teams, in charge of four men.
were seen crossing the ice on the 10Th from
the Iowa to the Nebraska side of the Missouri
river, near Omaha. When about half wav
across. the horses, wagons and men suddenly
disappeared. They Immediately sunk, and
were swept downward by the rapid current.
1t Is supposed they must have driven over a
place from which the ice had been recently
cut. and which had only frozen over lightly.
LieHt. J. III. Winters, who was sent
out from Cheyenne with a company Of troops.
to survey and measure the route thence to
Red Cloud agency, reports from Fort Laramie
that he was driven in there by the severity of
the weather, after getting as far as old Red
CLOUD agency. The snow was deep and drift
ing badly. The thermometer ranged from 90
to 40 degrees below zero in the day time. Ap-
prehensions are felt for the command under
Capt. Henry, who left Fort Laramie a few
days since to drive the miners out of the
Black hills.

Eighty Cents on the Dollar.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The CONNER.
cial Loan company, which failed this
week, seems to have less available
assets than previously given. Its
liabilities are about as stated, but its
assets fall nearly one hundred thou
sand short. The company has about
one hundred thousand dollars worth
of unbelievable debts, which reduces
tie assetsl to about. f405, 900. The
creditors will realize nearly 80 cents
on the dollar, if time is given the
concern to right itself. The com.
pany did considerable savings bus
mess, and the loss falls heavily on
some pooe depositors. 1t has been
interested largely in the Illinois River
Construction Company, and on &C.
count Of investments in that company
has been embarrassed for few days
longer.
