of 1882, with a chocolate colored back. The
vignettes on the face of the note have a coarse,

sipelas Judge Ella served two terms in con-
gress from New Hampshire. Mr.. Elias death
occurred at the Whitney place, near the Sol

The postmaster general to-day annulled the
government contract with ?. W. Kellogg of
Springfield, Mass, for furnishing official dead
letter aud registered package envelopes and
tags This action is based upon the recent in
yestigation made by the postmaster general
himself, who SAYS he found the envelopes of
inferior quality and not up to the standard
contracted for. The contract amounted to $50,
coo. A further examination of the stationery
of the postoffice is to be made.
DIR. Salmon, of the United States agricul-
tural department, reports that the outbreak of
pleuro- pneumonia among Jersy herds in II

in a long time, and that there is danger of ex-
termination of the Jersey cattle throughout
the West He is endeavoring TO trace the
origin of the disease, and has been authorized
by the department to use all leagal means to
exterminate the scourge. 1t would seem that,
in view of the gravity of the situation it would
not be amiss for neighboring states to begin to
conIder the subject Of quarantine.

The horrors of the Greedy expe il
ton in search of the north pole have
taken deep hold ON the public mind,
and yet there would be no lack of vol
,lnteers for a similar purp ose- Even a
faint hope of reaching the north pole,
and the great fame that would attend
such an achievement, is sufficient in
spiration to such extremely hazardous
enterprises. But this is not all. Fame
follows failures almost innumerable,
especially when fraught with almost in
describable sufferings that are borne
with self sacrificing heroism. An Eng
lish poet characterizes fame as 1.-THE
next grandest word to God" as tits, to
great majority of those who volunta-
rily risk their lives where fame is sure
to follow.

1t appears by a supplement of the
London Gazette that in February, 1888,
the amount of unclaimed legaeies in
England was seventy seven million, six
hundred and ninetv-three thousand,
seven hundred and sixty-nine pounds,
an increase of more than twelve million
Troublesome three hundred and eigh-
tv million dollars of our money. The
increase in ten years, much more than
twelve million pounds, is particularly
observable. The list of legatees en-
braces more than six thousand names,
those of all ranks in public and private
life, of all social conditions, and has
been constantly increasing in volume.
At length, after much persuasion,
the Chancery Court of England has
turned over new leaf in its long
book of dilatoriness. 1t has APP
pointed an experienced gentleman.
Sir George Kellner, man of financial
ability, to prepare the list for 1887. He
is to give the exact amounts to which
the several legatees are entitled; efforts
are to be made to find those who are
entitled to the locked-up treasure; pub
licity is to be given where heretofore
there has been what may be called cul-
pable concealment; and the vaults of
of the Chancery Court are to be
unlocked to legatees or their heirs
wherever on the face of the globe they
may be found. 1t is said that there
are many of such heirs in the United
States. but not so many as might be
supposed, from the efforts made in this
country to unlock the secrets of the
Chancery Court-but all will keep their
eyes open for the development OF MIR.
KeIlner's work, in the hope of learning
something to their pecuniary adyan-
tage.

A good deal of sarcasm has been
wasted on the United States Govern
ment for its foil y in spending sS,000,-
600, in the purchase of Alaska. The
country named has generally been
looked upon as barren waste, useless
for any purpose, but when it becomes
known that there have recently been
made discoveries of very large deposits
of both bituminous and anthracite coal,
the tune will likely be changed. The
coal is described as of good quality,
and the quantity almost inexhaustible,
Judging from surface indications. This
fuel will find a ready market along the
Pacific coast and its development can
not but help the progress of that REGION.
Alaska will also furnish the very best
ship timber, and this will also help to
build up our far western border.

,,puna-up Of 5pcsI- itiss,

Last llu"J

excitedly up Main street, and on being
informed that Andy Mcguire had been
stabbed, we went with the crowd upl

soht that was enough to make al
man with the strongest Of nerves
sbudder with horror. Mcguire was

office. apparently almost lifeless, and
his clothing drenched with blood.
Dr.. Zipf was bending over the unfor-
innate man, attending to the wound,
and doing everything that could be
done in the way Of surgical skill, to
cave the mans life. The cutting was
done by K. P. Plowman, on the Ex-
press corner. Mcguire approached
plowman in front Of the Auditors Of
fee short time before the unfortu-
nate affair happened, and commenced
abusing him for going on Mason's
bond, this being the fourth time he
had given Plowman tongue-lashing
that morning for going on said bond.
He also hurled rough language at
Plowman because he and his family
s.gave Mrs. Mason shelter" during Ma
sons trial. Mason is the man who shot
and killed Fred. Huffman on Squaw
creek several months ago). Plowman
walked away-went over and stopped
! in front Of the Express office, and
while talking there with some one on
business, had his pocket knife out and
was whiting. Mcguire went over
where Plowman was standing and
again addressed him with language
similar to that used in front of the
4 Auditors office. Plowman said tc
him: at is my own business whose
bond go on, and | want you to. &C

Mcguire then approached nearer
