PAUL MURPHY, the once famous chess
player, is living in New Orleans with
his mother and sister, and though de-
cidedly unsettled in his wits, was still
the complete master Of the household.
His mania consists in believing himself
involved in an imaginary lawsuit for
the recovery of property left by his
father. There is no suit; for the money
left has melted away in the hands of the
executor and is sirretrievably gone. His
mother and sister support the family by

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
Hon. John HALEY and General Cartce
on Wood River-New Stage Arrange
mentS.


Hon. John Haley and General l.
+. Cartee arrived yesterday from
Boise, via Naples, and went on to-day
for ketchum.
Mr.. Haley has been inspecting the
new stage road to be opened March /,
between Naples, via King Hill and
Malad, to Boise. This road will save
1875 miles travel over the kelton
route, and as regular passenger trains
are expected by March !, the stages
will be started on that date over the
new route, connecting with the trains.
The winter schedule expires April
l, when the stages will run through
without laying over nights. The
time will then be about 22 hours to
Boise and eight hours to Haley from
Naples. Travel between Wood River
and Boise will go that way until the
season is sufficiently advanced to per-
NIT Of the new road being used from
HALEY by way of Croy's gulch, which
will be the shortest until railway con-
nection is made via Naples.

Facts that 10 10 Prove that Land OF.
Nee Is Established, and the Railway
Terminus Is Fixed Here.

The circulars of the sandlots DENY
the establishment Of a United States
Land Office at HALEY, and claim to
have positive information that this
place will not be the terminus of the
Wood River Railroad. The TIMES
to-day prints a brief but positive
statement made by Mr.. kimhall con-
corning the railroad, and in regard to
the Land Office we are in possession
of three separate proofs that it has
been established. They are:
l. A dispatch from Hon. George
Ainslie to Texas Angel, dated Wash
ington, February 4, 1888, which states ::
"Land Office is established in Hal
ley"
2. A letter from Hon. Henry
Cousins, Register of the United States
Land Office at Tucson, Arizona, to
Texas Angel, dated at the United
States Senate Chamber in Washing
ton, January %, 1888, stating that the
order would be made the next day.
3. A special dispatch from Wash
ington, stating that it had been cstab-
lished. This dispatch was published
in the Boston Herald, the Woop
RIVER TIMES, and all the papers of
the Eastern Associated Press.

Toboggans are birch planks, twice

on the toboggan and steers with his
