A Coal Burners Vengeance.

A Truckee (Cal. correspondent of the
Sacramento Record Union tells this
story: A German took contrac6 for
putting up and burning certain num-
ber of coal pits. He erected q cabin
and began work. Some Russian wood
choppers working near by watched his
proceedings somewhat enviously, and
finally jumped the cabin aud coal pit
and frightened off the old German.
The latter was without coin or friends
aud was forced to abandon the premises.
The bitterest thought in the Teuton' S
mind was that the wrong should be in
ficted by Russians. He was clearly out
numbered and overpcwered, but as his
job was gone he had abundant time fer
planning revenge. The Russians con-
tinued burning the coal pit. Stick
after stick of number one pitch pine was
cut and carefully laid in the pit. One
morning at daybreak they discovered
the old German sneaking away from the
coal pit, but after chasing him for a
couple of hundred yards they thought
no more of the affair. In due time the
pit was completed, covered with dirt and
ignited. Very jubilantly the Russians
watched the first smoke wreaths curl
upward. They had fairly captured a
Dutchman's coal pit. Suddenly, as they
were dancing exultingly around and
over the smoldering mound, it rose up
bodily into the air with violent ex-
plosion. Russians and dirt and timbers,
dust and smoke and execrations promis-
cuously filed tho air. A quantity OF
powder had been slowed away in the
center OF the pit, and the fire had
reached it. The Russians were more
scared than hurt, and picked themselves
up in time to see and hear the frantic
gesticulations and shouts of trium
plant old German who suddenly ap
peared and as suddenly disappeared or
the hill above them. The coal pit
famed up and burned to ashes, and the
Russians went back to their wood chop
ping, crestfallen and outwitted.

Spent for Rum,

The Liverpool Mercury states that a
borough magistrate has made rough
calculation of the amount of money
spent upon drink in Liverpool per week
and per year. He points out that there
are 1900 public houses where drink only
is sold and 500 where food is sold in ad-
dition to drink. This latter number
does not include hotels or eating houses.
OF these 500 houses he holds that at
least third-namely, 170-are drinking
houses pure and simple. He adds this
number to the /, ,240 which vend nothing
but drink, making the total number OF
drinking houses 1,410. He confines his
calculations to these, and makes the fol.
lowing estimate of their weekly receipts
Ten at e200, $4,000; twenty at sl5O,
e3, 5000; thirty at e100, $4,000; fifty al
e75, e3, ,750; one hundred at EGO, 96, ,000i
two hundred at ESQ, 100000; three
hundred at G40, 912, 900; three hundred
at e90, $4,000; two hundred at e20
1000; one hundred at e10, e1, 600; one
hundred at s7, $700-making q grand
total per week of 954, 450. This weekly
total, multiplied by the number of weeks
in the year, gives an annual expenditure
of e2, 831, 400. which he considers undel
rather than over the mark. .

A Pawnee on Picket.

We were ordered, says correspond
ent, to make detail for picket duty,
and as the Pawnees were doing nothing
in particular, we thought we'd give them
a turn. My sergeant took half dozen
of them with the guard, and, reaching
the picket post, explained that they
would be two hours on and four hours off
duty. He said to the Pawnee chief :
"Look ut this watch. 1t is now six
o'clock. When the short hand goes
around twice you will call me and be re-
lieved. Do you understand r.
y-hey-good said the Indian,
and stalked away.
The sergeant, who was very tired,
went to sleep and was not disturbed un'
til it was almost day. Then he was
aroused by hand being laid upon his
shoulder. He opened his eyes and saw
the Pawnee standing over him, watch il

"Well, chief, what do you want =

Surprising a Lieutenant.

We were encamped, says correspon-
dent, at Crazy Woman, laundering
mean place-and no Indians had been
disturbing us for night or two. The
thing was growing stale and we were
impatient for some kind of excitem ent,
as we were slowly fire ezing to death.
"Let's go up to Burke's tent" some
one suggested, and there We all went.
The lieutenant was engaged in making
out map by the light of a candle.
Halo, Burke" said one, "aint you
afraid that the Indians will ventilate
your tent if you keep that light burn
ing ?"
"Oh, no." Burke said. "The In

it that we won't hear anything from

Something Hot.

Writing from Calcutta, India, in 1887,
Macaulay said "We are annually
baked four months, boiled four, and al
lowed four more to get cool il we can.
At this moment the sun is. blazing like a
furnace. The earth, soaked with oceans
of rain, is steanaing like wet blanket.
Vegetation is rotting all around us. In
sects and undertakers are the only living
creatures that seem to enjoy the climate. "
The year before, in May of 1886, he
wrote: some execrable effect the eli
mate produces 1t destroys all the
works of man with scarcely an excep-
tion. Steel rusts, razors loose their
edge, thread decays, clothes fall to
pieces, books molder away and drop out
of their bindings, plaster crack, timber
rots, mating is in shreds. The sun and
the steam of this vast alluvial tract, and
the infinite army of white ants, make
such havoc with buildings that q
house requires complete repairing every
three years"

A LIQUOR Cure,

The following is the well known recipe
used for curing intoxicated persons
Sulphate of iron, five grains; magnesia,
ten grains; peppermint water, eleven
drachms; spirit of nutmeg, one drachm.
To be taken twice day. This prepara-
tion acts as a tonic and stimulant, and SC
partially supplies the place of accus-
toned liquor, and prevents the absolute
physical and moral prostration which
follows a sudden breaking off from the
use of stimulating drinks.

Or. Sage's Catarrh Remedy

is no patent medicine humbug, got up to dupe
the ignorant and credulous, nor is it repre-
sented as being composed Of rare and pre-
cious substances brought from the four corners
of the earth, carried seven times across the
great desert OF Sahara on the backs OF fourteen
camels, and brought across the Atlantic ocean
on two ships," 1t is a simple, mild, soothing
remedy, perfect specific for catarrh and ''cold
in the head ! also for offensive breath, loss or
impairment Of the sense of smell, taste or
hearing, satery or weak eyes, pain or pressure
in the head, when caused, as they all not in
frequently are by the violence Of catarrh.

THE PEST OF THE BELLEs.-Strange
facts transpire after man dies. The
Earl of Albemarle says that the Dublin
bellies, when invited to picnic, stipu'

the terror of the bellies, grew to be the

Lock TO the Legislature.

Republicans should observe the general rule,
vote for the Republican County ticket, through
and through; but whatever they may do on TINS
or that County Office, there should be no foolish
ness with regard TO Senator and representatives.
Republicans shouid settle down TO the determin-
alton that the solid Legislative delegation of
Doniphan County must be Republican. This is
the wrong year to crafty spites or break up into
factions. The Legislature, the coming Winter,
will have United States Senator to elect and
the State Senators elected this year, viii have
n voice in the election of two United States
Senators. The Democracy have already got con-
troll of one branch of Congress, and are counting
upou soon controlling the other branch. Does
Kansas want to assist in giving them that con-
troll She sent one TO swell the Democratic ma
iority in the House, and he proved to be all that
the Confederate Brigadiers conld DESIRE She is
ashamed of that act and will retrieve the false
step, this year. And she does not propose TO as
sst the Democracy in the Senate. DonlPhan
County does not want to contribute vote to
that end. Democrats may be good and clever
fellows, and excellent citizens; but if you elect
one of them to the Legislature, he will vote Tor
Democratic United States Senator. All over
the State the Democracy calculating upon
slipping in members by means of Republican dI-
visions, or running independent candidates
There seems TO be no danger of electing Demo-
cratic Legislature, but sense of security often
loads to fatal results. We again say to Repuhll-
cans, be united, and see that none but undoubt-
ed Republicans go to the Legislature from Doni-
phan County.
There is danger that the Republicans may lose
two Districts in this County, unless they come
to a speedy understanding among themselves
They should settle the business without further
delay. But whatever you do, elect none but Re
publcans to the Legislature!
