BUTTEk-Operatiens do not appear to be
very large for the day and the market pre-.
sents no positively new features that we
can discover. The general tendency among
dealers is to speak more cheerfully, even
the somewhat lonesome medium grades get
good word here and there, and it is safe to
say that prices are sustained all around.
We, however, notice no inclination to posi-.
tive buOyancy, and the majority of holders
seem more encouraged by prospect OF get
ting stocks into motion and reducing accn-
mutation than by any idea that an advance
on prices can be made or would be
iudiccious so far as the general run
of stock is concerned. We hear that
some of the favorite western cream
cries have been little of on
quality of late, and this was help to the
fancy selections from state dairies. Quota
tions: Western, creamery, fancy, 40c;
western, creamery, good to prime, 500

1T is feared that the atmosphere of
London will soon damage the surface Of
Cleopatras' needle. The Luxer obelisk,
erected in the Place de la Concorde in
Paris in 1885, is some 3,4OO years old,
having stood with another still larger
one before the great temple of Thebea.
The stone is syenite granite, of brown
ish red color. Thirty-six years exposure
to the atmosphere of Paris has affected
the stone more than the same number of
centuries exposure to the purer air of
Egypt.

A STRANGE threat was made recently
by persons who wrote anonymously to
the banks of Osceola, Mo. They de-
manded that each of the bankers should
furnish certain amount of money, the
entire collection to be done up in pack
age and dropped by the mail-carrier in
the open prairie between certain points
The penalty of refusal is the burning of
the town, but the bankers have simply
put the officers on the watch, and lock up
more securely than ever.

The Second Attempt.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. PA daring at
tempt was made to rob passenger
train on the Atchison, Topeka s. Santa
Fe railroad this morning. Five armed,
masked men entered the station at
Kinsley, Kan, and captured A. Kin
card, the night telegraph operator, who
was ordered to open his safe. He re-
fused to do so, although his life was
threatened.
The west bound express train arrived
at this time, and the operator by a des-
perate effort, broke loose and ran to the
hotel near by, arousing the inmates. A
volley of pistol shots was fired into it.
When the train stopped, the conductor,
]. w. Mallory, was met by two of the
robbers, who presented pistols at his
head and ordered him into the baggage
car. He stepped in and closed the
door, instantly starting the train by
pulling the bell-cord.
Mallory and the baggagemaster arm
ed themselves with carbines carried in
the car and then stopped the train, af-
ter running about a mile from the sta
tion. They went into the back coaches
with their arms, but found that the
robbers were not on the train, and that
the passengers had not been disturbed.
Immediately after the train started,
the robbers, reported to be ten or fifteen
in number, mounted their horses and
rode off rapidly toward the Arkansas
river.
A party was at once organized to go
in pursuit, and started only two or
three miles behind the robbers. a Sec
ond party started at T:30 with fresl
horses and provisions, and the chance:
are good that the robbers will be cap
tured.
The Superintendent of the road also
sent a request to the commanding Off
Ger at Fort Dodge for a party of sol
diers to join in the pursuit. An an
swer has been received that squad OF
cavalry has been started out with ;
wagon load of supplies. One of the
party returned this afternoon with the
report that the robbers had crossed the
Arkansas river nine miles west OF
| KinSley.

Our merchants are thinking seriously
of putting the price of gold dust down
to S17 per ounce. This action is neces-
STATED from the fact that the banks
will allow only S17.1 10 for dust after it
has been cleaned.
From our special correspondent at
Galena City we learn that the smelter
is now running, and turning out the
rich bullion silver. The camp is getting
better daily, and new rich leads are be-
ing constantly struck.
A new strike was made recently on
Spring Creek by the La Branche broth
ers, who were excavating for an ice
house, and struck vein of talco slate,

Jumping Extraordinary.

A few days since, several boys, whose
ages ranged from six to ten years, To-
Gated claim on City creek; before and
after school and at every spare moment
the lads could be seen sinking the dis
covery shaft of the "Yellow Rock, ~
which began to show indications of
mineral. Upon going to work yester-
day morning, 10 and behold, the shaft
five feet deep was in the possession of
the pestiferous jumper. Yes, five
wicked, avaricious enfant terribles had
ensconced themselves in the shaft, pre-
pared TO deal stones, dirt etc., upon the
devoted heads of the rightful owners.
The preliminary parley and the demand
for an unconditional surrender was
short, the conflict shorter; little mugs
intended only for kisses were battered,
ears meant only for hearing loving
words were nibbled, bright eyes made
to distinguish good from evil were
blackened, teeth white and pearly went
spinning into the stomach to cause in
digestion, when the jumpers capitu-
lated. [DeadwoOd Pioneer.

Pueblo, Colo, Jan. 2S.-Last Satur.
day evening west bound train on the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
was boarded few miles east of Dodge
City by four men who attempted to rot
the express messenger.
Two of the robbers jumped upon the
engine and compelled the engineer and
fireman to do as directed, while the
other two boarded the express car. The
express messenger, however, proved too
plucky, and repulsed them. He thinks
he shot one of the robbers, as he was
only three feet off, and dropped when
the messenger fired. The robbers es-
capped, but are hotly pursued by a COM
petent party, and as the trail is plain
there is little doubt of their capture.
The robbers had previously bound
and gagged the agent of a small station
east of Dodge City, and ransacked his
safe,

LOUISIANA,
Coming Trial of the Returning Board.

Coming Trial of the Returning Board.
New Orleans, Jan. 2S.-Anderson,
Cassanave and Kenner, members of the
Louisiana returning board, were
brought before the bar to-day. The
counsel for 7. c. Anderson filed a mo-
tion for a change of venue, alleging
that he could not have a fair trial in
this parish, prejudice against him
having increased in the last few days.
Judge Whitaker stated that the jury
had been drawn in the most impartial
manner and was composed of conscien-
tious, honest men, of unimpeachable
character. What could the accused
demand more? The court had said on
Friday that it would not be tritied
with, and denied motion for a change
of venue as it was simply an attempt at
delay. Exceptions to the ruling were
taken.
Anderson thus explains his resistance
to the State authorities: "My informa-
tion regarding the character of the
panel was such as to convince me that
it was organized to convict without
reference to testimony in my behalf or
| absence of testimony against me.''
