Fed Canyon.

| A. &. Pratt, OF Genoa, was IN Carson
yesterday, and he reports Red Canyon,
where he is operating as miner, as a
camp full of promise. a prospect mill
of five stamps, of which Mr.. Pratt is
superintendent, runs, but not res ularly
on Red Canyon rock. About thirty
men are engaged in and about the
camp, in which number are in
Guided those working in the principal
mine, in the mill, as well as Il few who
are prospecting. We expect before an
other season to note large increase in
Red Canyons population, and to be
able to give good account generally of
the new camp in Douglas county.
The Late Presidents Family at Mentor
PITTsBURG, Sept. 30.-Rockwe and
Swain, en- route to Washington, missed
connection here. Swain told Il reporter
ave accompanied Mrs. Garfield,
Grandma Garfield, the children and
Private Secretary Brown to the old
homestead at Mentor on Tuesday. We |
were met at the depot by the Rudolps. |
Mrs. Garfields relations, and were ac-
companied quietly to the homestead.
When we came in sight of the old ia
miliar spot Mrs. Garfield was quite
overcome for moment, but soon re-
covered her composure and entered the
desolated home. General Garfield's
study remains just as he left it, and one
of the sorrowing widows first steps was
to go into the room where she had
spent so many happy hours. She is
recovering from the effects of
the blow. She said it was too early to
indicate where she will reside, but l
hink she will spend her Summers at
Mentor in the old home, and the Win
ers with her relatives in Cleveland,
where she will be near her husbands
emains, and part of the time in Will .
imaston, Mass, where she will be near Il
Ter boys in college, Harry and Jimmy.
Grandma Garfield in future will make {
Ter home with Mrs. Garfield. Whittier j
he bereaved wife goes, the sorrowing s
mother will go. Grandma is very feeble, t
nd will spend her last days with the c
amiIy of her son."

DANFORD SETTLES.

The latest from the Caldwell bank
failure which we take from a Kan
sas City Journal special, is that the
great fnancier has turned over prop
erty sufficient to pay up in full.
The liabilities foot up $54,732.33,
and the property turned over is val
ucd at sos ,1S0.25. In addition Dan
ford assigned $4,000 Of stock in the
Lawrence mining and smelling
company, which may or may not
represent an actual value. The
creditors are well satisfied with the
outcome and are confident that they
will get full payment. Cha5 Moore,
Daulord's former cashier, explains
the cause Of the failure in the fol-
lowing About two months ago Dan
ford came in with what perported
TO be $65,000 worth of mining stock
He ordered himself credited with
$4,000 on the banks books on ac-
count Of this stock, and $4,000
charged to profit and loss. This left
him q credit of $4,000, which he
checked out, absorbing about two
thirds Of the deposits. subsequently
he ordered himself credited with
$4,000 worth OF lots. These lots
were actually worth only one-twcn-
ticth OF the amount credited to his
account for them. lie then checked
out $4,000 in accordance with this
credit, which absorbed nearly the
entire amount OF the banks assets.
The above is The substance of
what the citizens committee learn
ed by their examination of the bank
books. This disclosure was what
angerad the dcpositors. 1t appeared
that the bank had been specializing
i'm mining stocks, whereas the truth
was that Danford put up the stocks
and drew money on thcm.
The men who had charge Of the
unprecedented proceedings were of
the best circles in the county. They
saw how and where they had been
dofrauded, and saw only one way to
time. and their method was eHectual
They saw that their money had been
dishonesty taken and had not been
lost by any misfortune

SOWING WHAT

Some seeding will he done this week
by farmers who have high ground. The
general impression is that the season is
too late for wheat. Sometimes, howev-
er, the late sowing does best. Two sea-
sons since we have been here, the early
sown wheat was in the milk when the
murky weather came on and the wheat
was blighted. The late sown those
years missed the blight and was good
wheat. A farmer in the Vermillion val.
ley, who is in the flooded district, says
he is not discouraged, as the best crop
of wheat lie ever had was sown the 18th

DISTRICTING THE COUNTY,

RE DLSTRICTING THE COUNTY,
Elsewhere we publish letter from
Attorney Clark upon the subject of re-
districting the county into five commits
sioner districts. There is time enough
yet for this, but the impression begins
to be strong that the commissioners
will put it off, under one pretext or an
other, until it is too late, and that thus
they will enjoy their little office until
the end of their terms, without any one
being ''districted out" and without any
new members to disturb the present
''unanimosity" and extreme harmony of
the board. But there is a way of CON-
pelling the re-districting of the county,
and if the matter is not attended to
soon, the proper writ should he applied
for and the board be compelled to give
the people the five districts and CON-
missioners to which we are now enti-
tied. At present two of the members
are from the extreme western corner of
the county and one from the extreme
north, and the board, as at present con-
stituted, is i mere political machine,
run in the interest Of three or four
men.

THE HABEAH CORPm.

Read the letter of Clerk of Court Car
rier on the Journals attempt to shield
Humiston by blaming Carrier. The
Journal quoted law which is not found
in the statutes and has generally made
itself ridiculous by attempting to defend
the manifest blunders of the Court
Commissioner.
The fact is, that as a friend and
Eeighbor there are few men better than
II. D. lumiston, but as a public officer
he is a complete failure, and is extreme
ly and unfairly partizan in politics. All
we care about in his case and in others
Ill which we have spoken, is to do our
share toward correcting the miserable,
pernicious, prejudiced, one-sided meth
DDS of conducting cases of all kinds
which have grown up in Worthingteli
and which Mr.. Carrier alludes to as "a
free and easy style of practice" Judge
Farmer ,an entirely unprejudiced Judge,
said while here that some of the meth
DDS resorted to here were "little less
than mob law"

possible to get Grand Jury to hang a

set about to dislodge the birds from
their hiding places. To accomplish this
we threw stones, sticks, etc., and at
last Z. Richardson. a member of our
company, fired two or three blank cart
rioges TO scare them away. For this,
lie was taken before the Mayor where
it cost him $40 for an introduction.

AGRICULTURAL SALT.

We have received a pamphlet from
tie G. NJ. u St. P. r. r. Company, CIV
ing testimonials as to the use of salt on
land. The Company has arranged to
deliver salt to farmers at bare cost of
transportation, either by the barrel or
III bulk. the latter only by car loads.
From the letters in tie pamphlet, we
subjoin the following:

wheat up from one to two weeks ear

solid, and the straw sitter. It has say
