THE PATROL GUARD.

From extrac which We publish else.
where, it will be observed that the Patrol
Guard is on regular war footing, and has
taken position behind the sand bills, pre-
pared to sally forth in the event of an In.
dian escapade. Governor ST. John is to be
congratulated for his mastery efforts in thus
equipping, in formidable arrsv, q branch
Of his reiinue, and posting them where they
can do the most good.
There is nothing like in times of peace
preparing for war. A brave cap ain, bold
lieutenant, and tweniy-three intrepid men,
with scope of three hundred miles Of ter
ritory, can display genuine chivalry, and
not equslled in the annals Of border pro.
lection.
The gratifying ASSURANCES our people have
Of these means Of protection, have led then
to pursue their peaceful pursuits; and the
new settler comforts himself in his dug out
and views the rich field before him with 9
good deal Of satisfaction.

SUN SPOTS.

Scientists tell Us We are approaching the
period Of maximum sun spots. and thst these
spots will be numerous the next two years.
A number of spots are now visible. A long
serier Of observations prove that these spots
recur in about eleven years. The last took
place in 1871. They increase in four years
and diminish in seven years, so that We are
entering the maximum period.
1t is en6eavored to show that the appear
ances of these spo,s on the sun influence
phenomena on the earth. One theory ex-
plains decrease and Increase Of rain fall
with the suns phenomena, the greatest
amount Of rain fall occurring in the maxi
mum degree Of sun spots. 1t will be inter-
es,ing 10 note these observations, and should
this theory prove correct, the next four years
will give greater abundance Of rain, . de-
sideratum devoully wished by the western
tiller of the soil.
Observations of the spots now appearing,
and which will become more numerous dur
ing the next two years. may enable pbysi-
cl.is to determine many questions connected
with the central luminsry which are now
unanswered. The elder Herschel supposed
tina, the averaged temperature Of years in
which large number of spots appear on
the solar rface is generally lower. This
has not been fully proved, yet the summer
OF 1916. so remarkable for large spots, was
the coolest on record in the United States.

EARLY EXPERIENCES.

The history OF Kansas is one Of wonder,
embraced in hsrdship-, trials and reverees.
There is no exception. We congratulate
ourselves that the new settler philosophi-
csl!y takes in the situation, and accepts the
condition with true heroism. There are
some waverings, but ~e must admit that all
do not possess the hsrdihood to 90 through
the struggles of frontier life. The great
expectancy Of milk and honey is reduced
when in contact with. the rigors Of the fret
year out on the plains. For our part, We
believe the development is more satisfactory
than we anticipated. Reducing q wild
waste to higher state of civilization is not
the result OF one years labor. The process
is slow, but it is sure. We must await our
new development and growth with Christian
fortitude. The life of new countries is but
a repetition. We have less Of the hardships
than the early pioneers of some of our east
earE States. We have less TO encounter
We have none OF the dangers Of life. We
have but to use patient forbearance in
awaiting the result Of our labors. Land
broken this year may hardly provide for
the body's nourisbment, and it may do lit
tie better next year; but that it will surely
develop into teeming fields cannot be gain
rayed. We have only to look back over
the history of Kansas for the ful6llment o!
all OF our expectations.
We may not thi. year realize full crops in
the western border. We must take into con-
sideration natures circumstances and abide
the consequences. Year BY year. step by
step, We shall reach to a greater degree Of
condition and excellence, when a more
bountiful harvest will be the reward of our
patient toll and endurance. Patience sits on
a monument. God is on the side of the
brave, the resolute, and the strong. We
possess these powers 10 the measure We &C.
We only grovel in our own weakness; il
We determine to Withstand our reverses we
encourage cur strength Tor = higher anbi-
ton, aud finally are amply rewarded with
the abundance that We justly merit.
We know what perseverance ia required
TO battle sEsinst all the vicissitudes of life,
for life is one full Of incidents, of revere
and fortune, bat we take encouragement as
We struggle on, al~ays hoping for the best,
and never venturins with faintDess in any
thing We undertake, though We may be set
back notch or two in our sndeavors.

have been fearful. Part of the Indians s

were broken, however, and he managed
to stnGger ani crawl to the road, where

Deadwooa i;its De.troyed by FIrc.

DeadwOod t,atx Destroyed by Fire,
The particulars Of the burning OF
Deadwood City, Dakota, on Friday are
given as follows:
A Ere broke out in the Star Bakery,
on Sherman street, at 2:20 o. clock this
morning, and following that thorough
fare, swept everything before il on Lee,
Main, Gold, Wall, Pattcn and William
streetS, and several residences on Cen.
trcl avenue. Famed by light breeze.
and nothing to contendwith except a very
indifferent Fire Department, everything
was soon at the mercy Of The flames
Less than half c scoroe OF pronounced
frepruof warehouses with3tood the Fe-
we're :est. The buildings being mostly
Of wood and very poorly constructed,
they burned like 20 much chaG. The
fire spread with suci wonderful rapidity
that any nt.empt at saving anything
would have been uScleGa. All along
its course terrific explosions of gun
powder, petroleum liquor, etc, were of
frequent occurrence, and the bindings
were blown to stonJ. The hook cad
ladder apparatus and hose carriage
were the first to burn, leaving nothing
but few feet Of worthless hose with
which TO battle against the devouring
element.
The widest excitement prevailed on
account Of the force of the fiames, and
people thought OF but little besides saw
ing their own lives. hundreds escaping
with only their night clothes. Every
team within miles Of the city was called
into service to help save what could be
brought out. There are probably 1000
persons who are homeless and many
destitute. About l25 buildings. besides
so or GO dwelling houses were destroyed
Gut 1t is impossible to get any definite
figures regarding the los,. Well posted
business men place the loss at from
$780, 900 to S2,0Ua, 900.
The insurance companies which held
the majority Of the risks Oh the de-
stroyed property were the Fireman :
Fund Of San Francisco, ST. Paul Fire
and Marine Insurance Company and
the Liverpool and Globe Insurance
Company.
About bundled wooden shauties
are already erected on the burnt dis
tsict, following upon the very heels of
the flames. and almost every class Of
business is represented on Main and
Sherman streets and all are having IN
immense rush Of business, although
prices have not advanced except in a
very few instances where the demand
for some articles was greater than the
supply, the advance has been slight.
AL tho daily papers nre issuing on
small sheets, being struck at Lead City
and Central. They contain little else
than fire news.
Lumber is being hauled in by every
available team in this vicinity. and is
bringing : l6 per thousand. The mills
nre running night aud day, but not
enough can be brought in to supply the
enormous demand.
Competent judges place The total loss
at fully S3,0O0,OOO, although some time
must eIapse before the exact figure can
be obtained. The bank vaults wete
opened Saturday aud we're found intact.
Tho chronoineters on the time locks arc
still running. Both banks will open
on Monday.
