most lawless regions of Utah. A
murder had recently been commit
ted by a notorious horse thief, and
a committee of local vigilantes
were watching for him at every
cross-road. just after nightfall |

mine, mounted on a white horse.
The vigilantes had received infor-

light my cigar. Thinking that the
light would give them a still better
mark to shoot at, the concealed
party held their fire for a second.
In that second the blaze of the
match reflected on my features, re-
veallng they were not those of the
man they awaited, and stepping
out on the road, they congratulated
me on my narrow escape. And

a Story by Colonel 1ngersoll.

Bob Ingersoll tells, in private
though, a good story at his own
expense, but one which we see no
reason should not be enjoyed by
the world at large.
ii seems that while Ingersoll was
in Cleveland, soon after his success
full legal fight for star reuters, a
sort of anti-tobacco crusade had
been started in that city, and a
well known Boston scientist was
delivering nightly lectures against
the use Of the soothing weed. This
speaker invited others to argue the
question with him, but although
the smokers were largely in the
majority, the Boston man had in
variably proved too clever for the
debaters brought against him.
Awaiting themselves of Inger-
soils presence, some of his friends
begged the great orator to take up
the cudgel in behalf of the tobacco
users, which he consented to do,
more in a joke than for any serious
reason.
That evening the hall was jam.

for the government what was sup
posed to be impossible; that is, a
European loan of 800, 600, 900, or
more correctly speaking,o of "a, 000,-
900, as the bonds will specify.
Nearly everybody is wondering
how it was ever accomplished,
since there is a most bitter feeling
against Mexico at present prevail
ing in England, and the money
certainly will not come from there.
There is little doubt that it comes
from France. or at least through
France, perhaps from Holland. the
agency being the Franco-E Egyptian
bank of Paris, the parent institu-
ton of the National Bank of Mexi-
co, the loan being secured in return
for the extraordinary privileges
given to the latter, which will have
substantially the monopoly of the
banking business throughout the
republic under its concession. The
new loan of "a, 600, 600, Is to be
divided into two series-the first,
of e.. 600, 900, to be advanced
now, and the second, of the same
amount, to be reserved for future
needs, probably some time under
the administration of Gen. Diaz.
The advancers Of the temporary
loan OF SO, 600, 900 are to receive
the first years issue Of the new
loan as security.
The presidential election is pref
ty near al hand, being only a few
weeks off. There is nc reasonable
doubt as to the succession Of Gen.
Diaz to the presidency, although
there has been a feeling hat Pres.
Gonzales might count out Gen.
Diaz in favor Of somebody else. 1t
is known that far from anything
like good feeling exists between
Gen, Diaz and the present admin
istration. But, although Gen. Con
zales is an intrepid man, he would
hardly venture to count out Diaz,
who is too strong with the people
to allow anything of the kind to be
done with safety. The feeling is
universal that Diaz is the man fol
the hour. The whole election, oil
course, will be a matter OF counting

He Took Them In.

Two months ago young man
arrived at St, Nary's W. Va, and
it soon became noised abroad that
he was the son of a New Orleans
millionaire looking for chance to
invest his surplus wealth. He
gave his name as Charles Sergeant,
and professcd to have invested
largely in England, and as he had
a large correspondence from Eng
land, which reached him via New
Orleans, his story was believed.
He announced his intention of in
vesting sl0O,O in -four and saw
mills, and making a corner on all
the lumber and wheat in that Sec
ton. The people were rejoiced
and Sergeant became a social lion
He formed companies for his mills,
in all of which he held three.
fourths of the stock and was the
treasurer. The first assessment
was paid last Friday. That night
Sergeant attended a church fail
and handed the minister $40 rs 6
token of friendship. Nothing has
been seen of him since, but 1915 o
his forged checks have been pre-
sented at the banks. He beat hi:
hotel and all classes of tradesmen
but paid his washwoman like {
gentleman. His winnings on thu

Cheaper Than Coal.

Farmers in many parts of Neb-
raska are burning corn for fuel.
They have figured the matter out
to their own satisfaction and are
confident that it is cheaper to burn
corn than it is to sell it and buy
coal. Soft coal is worth in that
State about twenty two cents a
bushei, and corn does not find a
ready sale in the rural markets for
more than twelve cents. Expert
ments have shown that two bush
els of corn will produce more
warmth than one bushel of coal
and farmers are thus burning the
former and saving themselves the
trouble of hauling it to market and
drawing the coal home again. Elk

OPENING THE EXPOSITION.

When it was announced with
some fiourishes and considerable
hurrah that Pres dent Arthur would
start the machinery of the EXrosi-
ton by lightly pressing an electric
button in the cast room of the
White House, III Washington, the
mind of the patriotic American
clowed with enthusiasm. The
country papers took up the text
and elaborated it, explaining how
a wire between Washington and
New Orleans would be cleared and
how when the proper moment ar
rived the President would touch
his little button, and IF would sta I
the vast machinery. Attention was
directed to the wonderful age in
which we live; to the impossibiliiy
of the accomplishment of such a
feat, few years age; how a faint
pressure, hardly perceptile, would
start into life thousands of horse
power, and how truly American
such a possibility was. We all
felt this. We all spoke ofthe pres
sure on a button 1900 miles away
setting the machinery in motion,
and felt proud and happy that we
lived in such an age.
The papers containing the ac-
count of the opening were eager,
~ sought, the lengthy proceedings
were read and at last, each reader
arrived at the thrilling start of the
machinery. The President.touch
ed his little button sure enough
hut it didn't start anything, ali i
did was to convey a signal, mere
sound, and then, Maj Burkes little
boy pulled Il lever and the machin
cry started. The patriotic citizen
feels that he has been wrought VI
to no purpose. That he has brag
ged and boosted, only to make him
self ridiculous, that the magic but
ton is fraud and Il delusion. That
the Exposition itself is smaller
than he supposed it was. Thai
the President is a smoothe hypo
critic and that life is not worth liv
ing anyhow. Away with the mag
netic button.
