1t is now four years since the
opening of the Progress Store.
Soon after commencing, the Pro-
gress Store did rushing business,
and has kept respectable run OF
customers ever since. And why ?
Because Mr.. Susskind keeps an
honest stock and deals fair and
square with all. Therefore, the
Progress Store is literally patron
lied and 1t pays well in the end.
Everybody will find it to their in
terest to buy their clothing, hats,

San Bernardino Times: Bob
Ward, who is well known to a
great many of our townsmen, has
struck placer mine which prom
ises to be q regular bonanza to
him. He has been prospecting for
some time In Lytle Creek Canon,
and has at last succeeded in strik-
ing pay dirt. He brought four
specimens into our office yesterday,
which fairly made our fingers itch
to get possession of them. The
largest nugget weighed $12, the
next $4 aud the other two about
$3.50 each. He informs us that be-
sides these he has taken out about
as much more in fine dust. We
hope that his mine will continue to
increase in richness and that those
interested in it may all become
"bloated capitalists"

The originals of the characters of
Dickens "Cricket on the Hearthu
are thus traced by J. III. Siddons: I
was very late one night at a rail-
way station near Norwich.
Scarcely had | set foot on the plat
form when | was acco-ted oy tall
young man of the yeoman type,
who had come 10 fetch the letter
bag. "Do you wish for bed, sir?u
asked he, "or are you going on" L
told him that l was bound for Nor
wich, two miles off. "You cannot
get there, sir, till later in the morn
Ing. L will drive you there, as L
60 with the mail bag at eight
O'CLOCK" Accordingly L concluded
to accept bed, and a supper if pos
sible, at the hosiery close at hand.
I entered the kitchen, where
bright fire was burning, and sat
myself before it. There was q ket-
tie on the hob singing q duet with
a chirping cricket. A large wiry
terrier came and crouched at my
feet. There was nothing strange in
this. But presently heard "clock,
clock" behind me, and turning
round heard lilly Slowboy in a
pair of wooden clogs! The idea
dawned upon me that l was among
some of the dTa0aatis person@ of
the "Cricket on the HEARTH" Sup
positions soon grew into convic-
tion, for ih few minutes pretty
little round woman came in and
informed me that my supper was
ready in an adjoining parlor. "Dot,
by JoveW l more than muttered. l
ate my supper and went to bed.
My host reused me at half-past
seven, gave me cup of coffee and
bore me off in his little chaise to
Norwich. On the way he passed a
fine old-fashioned house. "Who
lives there?n 1 asked. "That sir,n
was John Peeryhingle's reply,
''belongs to Mr.. Hogarth, II mu-
steal gentleman" "Hogarth! Why,
he must be Mr.. Dickens's father
in-law." "He is sir, and Mr.. Dick
ems do often come down here; and
he has been and took off me and all
my family and put us into a Christ
mas story, which we do call the
Cricket on the Hearth;' but it
amt all true, for there's no blind
toy.maker In these parts, and Dot
and me never had a dispute about
her brother"

Mr.. Ernest Th. Gennert, San From.
cisco:
DEAR SIR: Your favor of Octo.
ber 29th was duly received, and for
the valued information therein
you have my best thanks.
The meeting last Saturday In
Santa Ana was well attended and
much interest manifested in the
beet subject; but nearly all have a
lurking fear that the outcome of
crop of dried beets will not realize
we'll enough to make the venture.
But in spite of all we have to re.
port the names of parties agreeing
to plant 6G9 acres, and have every
reason TO believe that we
can run 1t up to one thousand
acres. One thing would make the
thing take like wild-fire, and that
is, if the company would guarantee
to the contracting farmer no great
er loss in drying than rs per cent.
Very respectfully yours,
J. w. ANDERSON.

Dublin, Ga, Post: There Is now
at the almshouse In this county a
woman about sixty-five years of
age, whose physical condition is
something altogether wonderful.
Her skull bones for years have
been gradually gaping open both
at the longitudinal and the trans
verse sutures, leaving the brain un-
protected save by the skin of the
head. You may place your finger
in the assures and plainly feel the
throbbing of the brain. The old
lady keeps handkerchief bound
tightly around her head, complain.
ing of great pain and dread that it
will burst open when the band is
removed for q short time. In spite
of all this she Is as cheerful and
nimble as cricket.

1t has ever been prelicated by
scientists (?) that because colors
could never be reproduced by the
process of photography that it had
no objective existence, and that
it was all sensation as produced by
the refrangibility of light-that the
refracted rays striking against the
retina were communicated by the
optic nerve to the brain, and that
the rapidity with which these wave
rays struck the the retina produced
the sensation known to us as red,
blue, etc. Those, however, who de-
sire to see old ideas exploded and
new truths demonstrated should
call at No. s Also street, the
largest dyeing establishment in the
city, and witness the operations of
Marteen as he segregates the COM
ponent parts OF each sunbeam and
transmits them in various shades.

Narrow Escape.

On last Wednesday evening, as
Belle Tucker, a little girl about
nine years of age, was returning to
her home from the woods, where
she had been gathering farms and
flowers to male a bouquet for her
mother, she was suddenly startled
by the howl of hungry wolf, the
first, probably she had ever heard,
as those animals are very scarce in
these parts. She hastened her
steps, but the bloodthirsty animal
was evidently on her track. Nearer
and nearer came the wolf, and the
child became frightened and ex-
hausted; but, just as the wolf was
about to pounce upon her, Mr.. F.
l.. Bither, who had been chopping
near by, and who was attracted by
the child's screams, hastened to-
wards her, and arrived Just in time
to dispatch the wolf with his ak,
before the animal injured the child.

RALPH MEEKER.
He Passes Through Cheyenne on His
Way to Ourayts Agency.

Ralph Meeker, son of the late n. c.
Meeker, Indian agent, stopped in Chey-
enne yesterday, and was brought under
the gentle and persuasive influence of a
reporter of a LEADER. Ralph is quite
a young man to have gained the repu-
tation he possesses as a journalist.
Some five years ago he chased items
for the Tribune in Greeley, since which
time he has risen gradually in the pro-
f~ession. He is now connected with the
New York Herald. He was sent to
Europe as a representative Of the Her
aid to the seat of the Russo-Turkish
war, since which time he has travelled
extensively. he is now going to search
for his aged mother and sister, who are
prisoners in the hands of the Utes. or
supposed to be. He was appointed an
agent Of the government to recover the
papers and moneys pertaining to his
fathers Office, which have been report
ed as all safe. +
When he left Washington his rail-
road destination was Rawlins, but
while he vas speaking to the writer a
dispatch was handed to him ordering
him to go to Denver from this point,
from whence he will take the most
direct route to the Los Pinos agency.
He says that he will attend to the living
portion Of his relatives first, and when
he places them in security he will turn
his attention to the dead. He fears his
mother will not survive the shock, as
she has always been, but more especial
ly of late years, very dependent upon
her husband; also, that she has not en-
joyed very good health for the past year
on two, and is at present sixty-four
years of age. He has not seen her for
several years, which fact adds intensity
to his desire to meet her once more.
His feelings toward his fathers MUIR
derers are not as rabid as the ordinary
frontiersman would expect, or wish
them to be. He deeply regretted that
he could not go south by the way of
Greeley, his old home, where there are
some of his relatives at present, but his
anxiety to keep advancing toward his
destination would not permit him to
remain over for a day for a Denver Pa
cific train. He remained only a short
time here as the Colorado Central train
was some three hours behind time.
The only opportunity the reporter had
to talk with him was while he ate his
lunch on the platform. G. M. Jones,
esq, accompanied him south from here.

MATTERS.

The other day an associated press dis
patch from New York appeared in the
LEADER, relative to a son of Gen. Nc
Coy, formerly of Gen. Sheridan's staff.
The dispatch was based upon a special
telegram to the New York Sun from
Washington. Gen. Mccoy has been
dead for nearly three years, but was a
member of Gen. Sheridan's staff while
in life. He was a splendid soldier dur
ing the rebellion, and as his widow is
lily situated financially, her friends are
endeavoring to assist her by helping her
son to a cadetship at West Point.

reports that the troops are still at

evident that the Indians have gone
south, and split into small bands going
into the various agencies. The troops
will have an all winters campaign to
ferret out those of the savage tribe who
brought on the trouble.
