Something New in Newspaper Premiums.

The Kansas City MO- Times must be
given the credit of new movement in
the premium business, which revives the
interest, already tagging under repeti.
tions, of the ordinary agricultural lot
terry. The Times has conceived the idea
of offering to its subscribers as prizes a
number of pretty and amiable young
ladies, all of whom voluntarily offer
themselves up to be drawn as wives by
lucky bachelors who become readers of
the Times. An advertisement for volun-
teers in the distribution, which is to take
place in July, is bringing in scores of re-
sponses. If the ladies are to be believed,
the man who draws any one of them may
be satisfied with his lot in life. Strange
to say, they are nearly all brunettes,
seventeen years old. One of them,
Kansas damsel, says: "I am called
pretty good-looking, smart and stylish.

gives the more important information
that she will have marriage dowry
when she is of age. A third is sure that
she has courage and dash, but as to her
sweetness merely remarks: "Let the
man who catches me say for himself"
Three girls from Iowa submit their
names and gravely declare: "We can
give vouchers for our prcttiness, intelli-
gcnce and sweetness" A Missouri ap.

maiden who describes herself as some

lottery as her last desperate chance, and
exclaims: am willing to abide by the

The DObrudscha.

The report of a Russian cavalry and
and that two of the Muscovite army
corps are destined to work there, renders
a description of the country desirable.
The occupation of this stretch of cOun-
try, where in former campaigns count
less Russians have laid down their lives
the bones of at least 100000 of them
lie in the marshes-is most important be-
fore any general attack along the whole
line. The Pruth empties only twelve
miles to the cast of Galatz. The inter
vening terrain Is no place in which to
conduct campaign, since as far as the
eye can reach it sees only lakes and
swamps, and in the early spring, when
the Danube overflows, the landscape be-
comes one stretch of water, from which
only here and there the hilltops rise like
islands. Beyond the mouth of the Pruth
as far as Tultscha the outlook is similar
from the city of Reni. Far-extending
lakes, into which the streams from the
north disembogue, must hinder military
operations. On the west from Galatz,
where the Sereth with its many tribu-
taries empties into the Danube, the pros
drawbacks fail TO render the occupation
of Galatz less important and desirable
from Russian point of view, since-and
this should be strongly noted-Galatz is
the only place in the long extent of the
river from Kalafat to its mouth from
which the Turkish shore can be domi-
mated. The northernmost part of the Do
brudscha is as fiat as board, with the
exception of very small portion occu-
pied by Tartars. At the distance of a
days march rise the low, round Heights
of Babadagh," where, as it seems, in the
worst case, the Russians would come
upon the first Turkish position. AT
Ibrail. twelve miles up the river from
Galatz, batteries would be imam excellent
position to keep of the Turkish monitors

operate from the west side of the city OF

BIowing UP a Monitor.
BUCHAREST, May %.
One of the most daring deeds ever re.
corded was the blowing up of Turk
ish monitor in Matchin channel in the
Danube. Two young Russian engineer
Officers attempted to reach the monitor
last evening with torpcdoes, but were
discovered and driven back by heavy
fire. AT three o'clock this morning they
returned with a small detachment of sol
dicrs, carrying Il chain of small torpe-
does filled with dynamite. The night be.
ing very dark they managed to surround
the monitor before being discovered.
When finally observed by the sentries on
board they were challenged. The leader
replied in Turkish Friends" The
Turks not satisfied commenced firing in
the direction of Matchin, not knowing
where the boats came from. The shots
flew wide. During the firing several
Russian soldiers plunged into the water,
swan silently to the vessel and placed
the chain of torpcdocs in close contact
with her bottom. After it had been SC.
curely fastened the men returned to the
shore, and by means of an electric bat
terry discharged the whole series of tor.
pedoes. The monitor was blown into
the air and all on board persisted.

A Few Facts of Interest Respecting
the Development and prospects Of
the New III Dorado.

st. Louis Times: Mr.. w. c. Poole,
of this city, has just returned from the
Black Hills. He says that the mining
fever is gradually subsiding in regular
business. There is plenty of gold.bear.
ing quartz in the Hills, and as fast as
the stamp mills are got in it will be de-
veloped. The old miners and the men
who expect to work hard for what they
get will stay, being pretty well satisfied
with the prospects. The Others will get
out as fast as they can. Hundreds are
making their way back atoot, and
Others are coming down the river on
RATS, subsisting on fish and such game
as they can get There are some placer
claims being worked, but this kind of
mining is as hazardous in the Hills as
il is everywhere else, and quartz min
ing is the main industry. The bed rock
is from twelve to twenty feet down, and
thus far the trouble has been in the in-
suihciency of pumping.
During the past season prices for pro-
visions have been eXhorbltant. PotaN
toes have been selling at from twenty
five to thirty cents pound, and other
things ON a like scale This is in way
to be remedicd, as many men are going
in with their families intending to cul-
tiyate the tillable land OF the valleys.
Three routes for q railroad to the Hills
have been surveyed, and q road will
probably be built the coming year from
one of three points-Sidney, Pine Bluff
or Cheyenne.
Mr.. Poole is an old frontiersman, and
has prospected pretty much all over the
western mining country.
