The Body OF n Man found Fioatins
Down the River.

Mr.. Z. w. Holland, OF Cokevllle,
Wyoming, called at the Register Of
fee on Thursday and stated that ne
had an item. He was on his way to
take a look at this part of the coun-
try. and ON Wednesday while camp
ed on the river bank near Basalt, one
of his little boys who was with him,
called his attention to what he said
was man floating down the river.
He caught his fish pole and line and
succeeded In catching the hook in the
clothing, but the current was SO swift
that his hook was broken. lie then
ran down to point where the river
bends and waded out fifty or sixty
feet and just succeeded in catching
hold of one leg or foot, but was una
hle to hold on to it in the swift cur
rent. Finding he could not secure
Il. he went to his camp and taking
one OF his horses rode to Blackfoot
and informed the justice OF the peace.
Whether it was seen and secured
there we have not learned.
He describes it as follows: 1t was
floating face down, was apparently a
man about 5 feet 10 inches, rather
heavy set, sandy hair, had on vest
the back Of which was black, and
what appeared to be white ducking
pants, the shoes looked like gum SHOES
or boots with the tops cut oil, ana a
white shirt with the sleeves rolled up
or torn off. He says it did not seem
to be decomposed very much' but oil
course must have been in the water
ten or twelve days. The mystery is,
who was he, and was he drowned or
murdered?

Four leading Mormon elders have
petitioned Governor Bate of Tennes-
see, asking that reward be offered
for the apprehension of those engag-
ed in the Lewis county massacre on
Sunday, August 10th. The petition
sets forth that the prejudice against
the Mormons of Tennessee is based
on ignorance. 1t denies the charge
that the Mormons have baptized wo-
men in a nude state; also that the
Mormon elders have never tried to
break up families or mislead women
It further denies that the Mormons
have ever attempted to introduce po-
lygamy into Tennessee or any other
State, and sets fourth that every elder
at work in Southern missions is pledg'
ed by the most sacred vows to chasti.
ty. Governor Bate will offer the re-
ward as asked.

Guerrilla Jactics.

General Butler has adopted the tao
tics of political guerrilla, and adj
yised his followers to make the best
terms they can with the regular par
ties in the several States, with the
view of getting an electoral vote here
and there. According to instruc-
tons, his men have fused with the
Democrats in Iowa and Michigan and
with the Republicans in West Vir-
rinia. In Michigan last Thursday
the Greenbackers and Democrats in
dorsed the administration of Cover
nor Begole and nominated him for
reelection. They agreed upon a
State ticket composed of men select
ed by both parties, and selected all
electoral ticket SIX of whom are fol
Butler and seven for Cleveland
If the Butler programme is carried
out it will puzzle the shrewdest poll
tcian to foresee its effect on the
Presidential election. States lik,
West Virginia, which have been Sc
down in the Democratic column, may
elect the Fusion ticket, while Iowa
Kansas and Michigan, which have
been counted for Blaine, may do like
wise. Kansas and Michigan hav,
Democratic Governors, and it is no
at all improbable that the Fusionist
may carry these States again in No
vember. There is not State in tn
Union that Butler can carry III
square fight, yet by this method h
may get dozen or more electors
votes, and possibly throw the cleo
ton of President into the House c
Representatives.

THOSE MEXICAN OUTRAGEs.

There has been good deal of talk lately about the way Americans are frequently treated in Mexico, and it is, we suppose, gen erally believed that many Americans have received shabby treatment from the Mexican authorities. But gentleman who has lived sev eral years in Mexico and is now in Washing ton says that the stories of ''indignities heaped upon American citizens" and the i'm prisonment of peaceful travellers upontrumped up charges are the most absurd fabrications of an organized party of Mexican traducers. He says that along the Mexican border of Texas and Arizona there is class of men who seem to have no other business than the manufacture of i-Mexican sentiment within the confines of the United States. These professional revolutionists never allow an opportunity to escape them for creating belief that the people of Mexico are op- posed to Americans on all questions. A thief or a murderer escapes from the United States into the southern republic and car- ries on his usual depredations; he is arrested for his crimes by the authorities, and at once the story is circulated that he is an innocent American citizen persecuted be- cause of his nationality.
 The gentleman yho says this has had busi- ness relations with the people. of Mexico for nearly ten years, and declares that he has al- ways been treated fairly and honorab1y by the authorities and the citizens. "Of course,R he says, ''their laws differ from ours in many respects, and unless the emigrant or business man temporarily residing there takes some pains to post himself, he is not likely to transgress. But the American having business in foreign country generally takes pains to enlighten himself upon the laws of the country in which he in tends to trade If New York merchant should send drummer into Virginia and he should endeavor to show his samples with out securing license, he would in all proba- bility be arrested and fined. Would the New York merchant rush into print and de- mand the Interpretation of the Governor of New York to secure the remission of the fine? The same argument applies with equal force to Mexico The man or woman who desires to avoid conflict with the authorities will endeavor not to violate the laws, and he or she will find little difficulty in succeeding" :"
 This IS certainly plausible, and yet some of the stories told about Mexican ''outrages' have been definite enough. This defender of the Mexicans makes another good point when he says that it is always an American who is the victim. According to the published re- ports, the Germans, French and Englishmen are never in any of the complications. Yet there are as many persons of these nationali- ties in Mexico as there are Americans It does not seem that there is any good reason for the Americans suffering all the indigni- ties

The fire record for July was a very disas- trous one. During the month there were one hundred and seventy fires which destroyed property valued at $10, 600 and upwards. AL lowing for less serious fires or for those not reported, it is estimated that the loss in the month just closed, including the United States and Canada, was about S8, 800, 900, or S625, 900 more than the loss in July, 1888. About 40 per cent. of the destruction was caused by 13 fires.
