A level-headed exchange very truth
fully remarks: When busimen men Of
a town fail to advertise extensively,
they diminish the importance and trade
of a place and permit more enterprising
localities TO take the latter from them.
Although done for their individual in
~terests, advertisers should be looked
upon AS citizens Of the town where they
reside as in some sense public benefact.
ors, and they should be encouraged ac-
cordingly. One merchant who adyer-
tises extensively is worth to his town
aud its people more than forty who
never show themselves in print, and
should be for this reason alone prefer
red, assuming that he is Of course a fair
business men.

Fall River Co.

Rnmor has it that Gov. Ordway has
organized Fall River county by appoint.
ing Messrs. Phillips, Petty and Gibson
commissioners. The report lacks con.
firmation, but whether true or not the
attorney for Custer county, Judge
Moody, inforus his clients by telephone
that they are to pay no attention to the
organization and to proceed with all
business as though nothing had happen
ed.
If true it would seem that the state
ment made by some of the Hot Springs
people, that they had the governor solid
and that he would organize the county
no matter what happened, was also true.
Just what influence has been brought to
bear on the old devil that would induce
him to make this break while the case
is in the courts, we are unable TO say at
present, but it certainly must be yalua
bic.
LATER-Ed Lynch, who came up from
the Springs Thursday, informs us that
he heard nothing Of the organization
either at that place or Rapid, and the
probabilities are that Dame Runor has
lied.

Zura Burns.

II seems that the brother-in-law OF
county. having Il ranch on Battle creek.
In the Times of the 18th he states that
he had sold everything and IA going
to Illinois to look for the murderer Of
his sister-in-law. The following is his
theory of the murder a. given by the
above paper:
"He does not believe Carpenter MUIR
dered Zura Burns, his si~ster-in-!aw, but
says his theory is, that lara Burns was
seducrd by Thos. Dukes, his own broth
or, in March last, who was engaged to
her at the time, bnt ther" was another
rival with his brother Thomas, whom
he had warned Iura to be careful of,
and refused him admittance to his
house. This mans name was Carder,
and a letter can be found in Xura's trunk
from him, and he was emp!oved on the
Illinois Central road, and resided in De
catur, Illinois. He had frequently visit
ed her in Lincoln. l do not believe
that Carpenter mui dercd Iura, for he
was too much of a man. But whoever
committed the murder, be it my own
brother, j will be the first to avenge the
death Of Znra Burns, and | will tell the
whole truth when ! get back to Illinois,
which will be in a short time. But l do
believe that this man Carder is the
murderer, as he knew that my brother
was engaged TO Zura. For when I was
in Decatur, Illinois, Zura was in a store
with her lover, Thomas Dukes, and
while at the depot, soine one said,
"Carder, that fellow has Deat you out OF
your girl" He said then, "rhe DIN
ETC., he will never get her" Carder had
been keeping Znra's company some six
teen months before this.

Journal: Murmnrs, not loud but very
deep, are heard in all the camps Of the
Central and Southern Hills regarding
the manner in which Miller has got
possession of the Grizzly Bear mine.
Violent methods are generally to be de

some one connected with this outrage is
treated to a ride on a rail. That's about
the way the miners feel about it SO far
as we have learned.

OF establishing q blockade In Annamese waters.

that she would prevent bands OF Chinese and

In conclusion. the Foreign Minister said:

Of China and her Ambassadors. have been such
that We must consider ourselves at war with
AMMAN. II we are unable to restore order in

not hesitate to ask the necessary powers. Of

that point. We are determined to avenge the
