Heroes of the Plains" is the title OF a
charming new book just published by the
Historical Publishing Co., of st. Louis,
Mo. II embraces the lives and adventures
of Wild Bill, Buffalo Bill, Kit Carson, Capt
Payne, Capt. Jack, Texas Jack, California
Joe, and other celebrated Indian fighters,

--1O1 degrees was what the thermometer
reached at the Office Of Sergeant w. IL.
Ray yesterday evening at five o'clock. This
is equal to about 40 degrees in other parts
of the city. II was hot and dry at every
station In the country, no rain anywhere,
except at Chicago and that was so slight
that it could not be measured. A falling
barometer in the northwest indicates the
existence of a storm center there, and is
likely to bring rain at Chicago and other
places, within day, but as storms seldom
or never travel south, it is not at all likely
that this part of the country will feel any eff
feet of it.

1-On Monday Mr.. Stephen Bradley
bought mule from teamster who was
hauling earth on the railroad embankment
below the city and Mr.. Bradley in turn sold
the mule to Mr. Charles Gayer. The mule
was the property of Mr.. G. M. Wyatt, of
Missouri, who had hired the teamster to
drive the mule for him and who, it appeared,
had not authorized the teamster to sell the
mule for the amount that he received for
him, sixty-fve dollars. Mr.. Wyatt there
upon sued Mr.. Gayer to regain possession
OF the mule and the case took up all day
Wednesday and the greater part of yester-
day before Judge Robinson. A jury had
been called in the case
which found a verdict in favor of Mr..
Wyatt yesterday evening.
"A new order Of Mormon Missionarie is
to appear on the scene. About the Goth
inst, two women-Dina J. Young and DIR.
Ellen B. Ferguson-are to be dispatched
from Salt Lake through the Eastern States
on lecturing tour. They are under the
sanction of the Church authorities, and are
coming ito present the women's side OF the
Mormon problem"-to explain to the de-
luded females of the older states, how much
happier they would be as the halt, or fifth,
or tenth of wife than as a whole one.
These women are represented to be intelli-
gent and talented, and it is useless to deny
the fact that they will be able to do much
toward disorganizing the present social
structure, if they are permitted to 60 through
the land preaching their pernicious doc
trines.
