Peter II. Dick well known citizen OF this
county, died ut Oxford, Sumner Co., Kansas, on
last Saturday morning, at about 70 years of age.
He had gone few weeks before TO Kansas in
search OF health for his wife, and while there
contracted diarrhoea, ending in fuX, causing
death. Mr.. Dick was born in the state OF North
Carolina, and at the age Of four years removed
with his parents to Kentucky, where he lived
for many years About 30 years ago he came TO
this county. In lS49 he got the gold fever and
going to California lived there for few years as
q miner. Returning from California he pur-
chased farm in this county in the town of Sc
rena, where he grew rich. Some three or four
wears ago he removed to Ottawa, living on the
west side. He leaves widow, who was his sec.
ond wife, but no children, his only blood relative
hereabouts being a nephew. He leaves large
property both landed and personal. He was a
man who took little active interest in public af-
fairs but was good citizen and neighbor, and
though both landlord and money loaner was en-
trely free from the hardheartedness said TO be
proysrblal with that class OF men, being liberal
and kind hearted in all his dealings with men,
upright and trustworthy and honorable In all
things. Few men living SO quiet life have
more friends than he. and none died more uni
versally respected by the world or more keeny
mourned BY those that knew him best His DO.

made by this process, there seems difference Of
opinion. The best Of clay Is used, OF course; but
the brick do not seem as tough as ordinary made
brick, though that may not be a detriment when
laid in a furnace-The works of the Ottawa Fire
Clay Il Brick Co., further east, are being pushed
to completion as rapidly as possible. Now, that
the roof Is on the building, the work on the in
side will go on very fast. This week the engine
and dry.pan were set, and tile being laid under
the floor for heating by steam. A brick machine
of "a, 600 daily capacity is on the ground ready
to be set up, and tile machine OF a capacity Of
600 feet an hour is on the way. The shaft has
been sunk to the fire clay, which Is now being
raised. The Works will begin on fire brick 10
build their kins, after which tile Of all sizes will
be made in large quantities. They hope to be
able TO begin using clay In about two weeks
The great want OF both factories is a railroad
switch; but the Rock Island, in spite of its prom

TO do So As the canal is within a stones throw

Storm ing a Bees Castle.
[ Gridley { Col. } Herald. J

For nearly fifteen years past colony of
bees have had their quarters in a large
cave situated on the highest bluff of the
Buttes. They have occupied the place so
long that the rock is generally known as
the ''bee rock 1t is located about half
mile northwest of South Butte, and stands
alone at the head of an extensive and pict
Uesque glen. The rock is about 50x10O
feet at the base, and is from one to six
feet wide on top. To. reach the top from
three sides it is necessary to climb a
perpendicular wall from $50 to 200feet in
height The top is accessible at only one
point, and there by crawling through a
crevice barely wide enough for a man to
pass. Then bridge twenty feet long and
one foot wide has to be crossed. 1t is
about 400 feet from the bridge to the
ground beneath. On the 10th of last month
a party of men living in the neighbor-
hood of Pennington went to the place de-
termined to rob the mammoth hive, They
were supplied with powder, fuse, drills,
bars, &c. with which to asSail the strong
hold. Few OF the invaders had nerve
enough to cross the bridge, bnt three of
them go: over all right and fired blast.
The result was cloud of bees that made
them retreat Next day the assault was
renewed and, after lively battle of three
hours, the bees were defeated. The dead
bees filed three grain sacks to overflow
ing. The cave was then blasted open and
the party found a solid mass of hon
ey in the comb two and a half feet thick.
The expedition was success, but many
of the participants paid dearly for their
victory.

Poster. Forter & Company
wholesale hosiery factories, on Wood

building has just fallen, setting fire to
houses on the opposite side of Wood street,
and the flames are steadily marching on.
1t is stated that Foster, Porter & company
and P. Ryland are fully insured The
losses must be immense.
Owing to the seriousness of the fire Cap
tain Shaw, of the fire brigade, has

partment.
$50 a. m.-The fire on the opposite side
of Wood street is now extinguished, the
hain fo he sc

whole, Mr.. Page in the chair, on the In
dian appropriation gill. The total amount
appropriated was %, 2o9. 900, or $1,517,-
600 below tie estimate The reductions

soldiers and sailors was discussed and OPP
posed for same reason given during the

Sc ss;ol Finally MIR. Howett, of New York
moved 10 strike out the enaeting clause.
The committee agreed. and the house con
firmed the action. Adjourned.

The republicans have not found wis
dom with great death, if we may judge
from the estimates of the various depart
ments upon which congress will base the
appropriations for the next fiscal year.
There is to be no river and harbor bill bat
nevertheless TIE estimates foot up about
$22, OOO, 900 more than the very liberal APP
preparations made at the last session. An
interesting problem is thus offered says
the New York World, for the considera-
ton of political arithmeticians as follows:
IF the people of the United States give
the republican party such drubbing as it
received last month on account of the ex-
travagance of congress. what sort of
drubbing will they give it for adding $22,
00O,O0 to an expenditure already intoler-
able?"
