pected robbery occurred Thursday evening

In singularity and mystery. The circum-

at fS9 West Ninth street, are as follows
Mrs: Mary Jane Rankin, his wife, aged
thirty, retired In her usual he alth Thursday
evening. leaving him asleep at the window
OF apofher and adjoining room, used as q

Ing means, and found his wife In bed, with q
newly-born child on the bed and another in a
chair about I'VE feet from the bed showing
that some person unknown to him had been
present. The mothers voice was distinct,
but her hands were cold. He says that he
asked her who he should 20 for, and she re-
piled, "Any one." He went for Q woman
and for DR.. Andrews, but before the physi-
clan arrived she was dead. The doctor d.
covered that the twins had receiy Y: proper
attention from some one, and pair OF scis-
sors were picked up on the moor that had
been used surgically. The husband states
that bis wife had 90 900 in her posseosion.

thrown into sudden confusion sad alarm by
q lot Of desperate men who were seeking g

on the Union Pacific, and there are usually

refused to give up his hard-earned wages
and succeeded, after much strategy, in skip
ping the town. A train passes Ogallala aboit

the hero Of the deal and chip made his es-
cape. The enraged cattle men, however
were determined to get their money back
They Immediately telee raphed ahead of the
train to friends in Alkali, the next station
When the train arrived at Alkali the cattle
men OF that plste boarded the train, and
were not long IN finding the little Joker, pre-
tending to be fest asleep in q berth in the
middle OF the Pullman. The trouble then
commenced, and lively time was had for a
Few minutes. The gambler refused to go
with the cattle men, and they insisted that

which several shots were fired. The passen-

THIS SYSTEM OF INDIAN RUNNERS seems
TO be little understood. II important news
1s to be carried, an Indian gOrees himself
with meat, takes short nap, mounts one Of
the neetest OF their ponies, and rushes along
Ike the wind until bis horse requires feed,
when he mods q few times while his horse
satisfies Its hunger from the luxurious mead
ows, when the ride is renewed. The runner
needs nothing for bis pony, and takes moth
Ing for himself but his arrows and blankets,
and Will, In the manner indicated ride two
or three days and nights, passing over from
sixty to one hundred miles in each twenty
-FOUR bours. When the nearest camp is
reached, his story is taken up by other
Indians, and In like manner carriS In every
direction. The speed with which the news
travels depends upon its Importance, but In
this way the Indians often beat the tele-
graph, and their first reports, II they come
direct, are usually to be relied upon. The
runner who brings great news Is Toasted from
one tepec 20 another, and 1t is not until the
story begins to grow old that he lets loose
bis imagination and adds to the original in
order to keep mp the interest in him as the
bearer OF great news. There are always vol
unhers, and frequently two or three Will
start for the same point, but the one that
gets In last 10 bound 10 tell the biggest story.
IL he has TO deny the statements OF his rivals
or cut bis story ont OF whole cloth In order 10
do 30. Hence the conflicting reports.-( Letter

SrEINBERGER has come bravely TO the
front again, and fortunately for himself he
Is In luck. Some English missionaries who
were at Samoa induced the English Consul,
and Capt. Stevens, of the Barracuda, to
have Steinberger arrest 1 as an interloper
and national busy body. In spite OF the
protest OF Steinberger ana the Samoans, It
was done, and he was Carl 4 Off prisoner
TO FIJI. Here the Governor made an inves-
t1gatton into the matter, In order { , ind out
what the eX-Pre0ier had been doing to
bring him into captivity. The examination
having disclosed nothing but the malice of
the missionaries, and the fact that they had
made catspaw OF Stevens, the Governor
Of FIJI ordered Steiuberger to be released
This was done, and as soon a. he was al
liberty he proceeded TO Sydney, Australia,
charges against the British naval Captain.
Tne Admiralty gave q willing ear, and
Stevens was ordered home, WHITTIER the
Samoc Premier win proceed to make and
establish charges in naval court. II these
can be sustained, Of which there seems to be
no doubt, Stevens will be dismissed the SER
vice, while Ste 1berger will be hidden to 20
IN peace. The world looks q shade lighter
for the latter, who has repeatedly been In
v1tcd back By the Sam0ans. When he goc J,

sition during the three months that have
elapsed since the oueping the sums paid for
omission reach within fraction OF 1855 900.

as the Vienna Exhibition was open on sun
days, and IL was on that day that the cash
receipts were the largest. d lucting, there-
Tore, fhe Sundays, on which day our Exhibi-
ton Is closed. IL is clear that In little over
two months and q half we have received
neeIly as large sum from admissions as
the Vienna commissioners received during
the whole six months that their exposition
was open.
The N. Y. Sun says: The Centennial E xhi-
