was set to clear away the small
beach. On removing this for a few
inches, which owing to it's compact
formation could only be effected by
considerable Iabour with the pickaxe,
we came to the sea level and conse-

six years, il was clear that the hole
through which Curry said he crept
could not be at any lower level.
BY removing the small beach, the
wall of the cave could be cleared to
a foot below the water line, and as
was expected, showed an unbroken
structure throughout.
Replying to queries as to whether
he was not mistaken in the cave,
Curry repeatedly declared that he
was not, that that was the very spot
and that a hole existed there. Opera

refers to last Tuesdays torna>.3:
We have met the enemy and we are
his'n. We have made our remarks and
we are now ready to listen to the gentle
man from New York. We could have
dug ont, perhaps, and explained about
New York, but when almost every state
in the union rose up and made certain
statements yesterday. we found that the
Job of explaining this matter thoroughly
would be wearisome and require
great deal of time.
We do not blame the democracy for
this. We are little surprised, however,
and grieved. 1t viii interfere 4,fe41 with our
coat on Wyoming, plug hat on Iowa, q
pair of pantaloons on Pennsylvania and
boots on the general result, it looks now
AZ though we would probably 60 through
the winter wrapped in bed quilt and
profound meditation.
We intended to publish an extra this
morning, but the news was of such a
character that we thought we would get
along without it. What was the use OF
publishing an extra with a republican
majority only in Red Buttes?
We resume our arduous duties with q
feeling of extreme ennui, and with that
sense CT surprise and establishment that
a man does who has had a large brick
bio k fall on him when he was not ex-
pecting it. Although we feel little
lonely to-day having met but few
republicans on the street, who were
obliged to come out and do their mar.
keting-we still hope for the future.
Now about those bets. If the parties

the stakes and not 90 into details; not
stop to ask US about the state of our
mind, and talk about how it was done,
we don't care. We don't wish to have
this thing explained at all. We are not
of an in luiring turn of mind. Just plain
facts are good enough for US, without
any narrowing details. In the mean.
time we are going to work to earn some
moro money to bet on the next election.
Judge Folger and others, come over and
see US when you have time and we will
talk this matter over. Mr.. B. Butler,
we wish we had your longevity. Withs
robust constitution, We find that most
any man can wear out cruel fate and get

In the Jeannette court on Saturday Mr..
Nlnderman. in describing the marah to the
south on Sept. 20 said that Just be-

age him, but without avail. In attempting
to repeat Erickson's language when he be:
came disabled, witness broke down and
gasped out: II can not so on now, SIR"
and hastily left the room. The incident
was most pathetic, and the court and spec
tators were deeply Impressed. The presi-
dent of the board ordered a recess, saving:
The poor fellow never broke down up
there where he was put to the test, but his
sympathy for his lost companions over

Some newspapers are saying that by the
star route frauds the National treasury was
robbed of 81, 500, 600. This is large sum,
but it is far below the real total. Several
months ago the attorney general estimated
the amount stolen at 1900, 900. The net

which, in the last four years, dropped
nine calves, three of them the present
year, and Of course is highly valued. A
few nights ago she got into cornield
and filed herself 80 full Of the proven
der there that she was unable to riss
when she lay down, and nothing short
of her death was OK pected until neigh
Dor came along and undertook to relieve
her by plunging butcher-knife into her
flank just in front ofthe hip bone. This
failed to have the desired effect, and an
other neighbor proposed to enlarge the
hole made by the knife and remove the
food. To this the owner would not con-
sent until convinced that she would die
any way, and then the experiment was
tried and fully six bushels Of undigested
corn, cornstalks and grass, in . state Of
fermentation, was removed from her
paunch. The opening was then closed
and in a very short time the animal was
on her feet and as contentedly chewing
her cud as if nothing had happened and

The day Of the week on which you

shudder over regarding Friday as lucky
day. Sundays and Mondays are the best
for mon. Never enter q new house or
sign lease in April, June or November,
and avoid the 18th for any kind of an
enterprise. fhe lucky days for business
are the three first days of the moons
age; for marriage, the 9TH, 9th and 18th.
Ask favors on the 18th, 18th and 18th,
but beware of the 10th and 2lst. These
are all the moon'sage. To answer letters
choose an odd day Of the moon; to travel
on land choose the increase; and for
ocean the decrease of the moon. Start
new buildings in March. Don't marry
on your birthday or on any martyrs day.
