Insurance Swindle.

The San Francisco Chronicle of June 9th
has an extensive article exposing certain
self-constituted benevolent society, styled the
Pacific Coast Department of the Mutual
Self Endowment and Bene VIOLENT Association
of America" The main Office of said con-
Germ is located at Longview, Gregg county,
Texas. The Chronicle exposes the fact this
branch concern has not complied with the
law of California and is entirely unreliable
there being no funds, bond or deposit to in
sure the good faith of the concern. If We
mistake not this is the same institution
which was inaugurated by one of these trav-
cling agents in this place. If SO, tho indi-
viduals who have paid their money to be-
come members of the institution woald
do we'll to enquire of the secretary of state
and ascertain if the bonds required of for
eign corporations are on file here. before pay
ing out any more money for that which can
do them no manuer of good. According to
the Chronicle there is nothing tangible from
which benefits may Ee collected. by those
who may be entitled thereto. If this be true
and there is no deposit with the secretary OF
state of the bonds required by our statute,
the giib-tongued agent who obtained your
money is nothing but swindler and OBJ
tanned the money from our citizens by false
pretenses, and should be called to account
for i'll gotten gains.

Murder at McMinnville.

On Sunday last at o'clock John
Wardle, a farmer and shoemaker resid-
ING about three miles from McMinville.
was shot and killed by his stepson, G.
R. A. Farris, Of McAIinnville. The
facts of the case appear to be these:
Wardle is man about 70 years Of age,
cripple, and has been living on un-
pleasant terms with his wife, Farris'
mother, for some time past. He has
children of his own by former wife,
anu it seems that Farris objected to the
manner his mother was treated. Sun
day afternoon he went out to Wardle's
house to demonstrate with him, but
was ordered off the premises. He re-
fused to go away and fingered around
for some time. Finally the old man
became enraged, and as Farris says,
came at him with shoe knife as If he
| was determined te make him leave or
| take his life. Farris then shot him
with pistol he was carrying, the ball
going through the breast passing near
the heart. Farris then returned to
McMinvile and at 4 o'clock was ar
rested and taken to Lafayette, where
he was lodged in Jail. Mrs. Wardle,
the mother of Farris, became so fright
ened when the act was committed, al
the fear of vengeance from the sons Of
Wardle upon her, that she ran all the
way to McMinville, arriving there il
an exhausted condition at her son'
house. Wardle died at 10 O'Clock
from the effects of the wound Farri
was young man and has always borne
an excellent character. Wardle on th,
contrary, was of very quarrelsom'
disposition and continually in broil'
with some one.

The Moon Inhabited.

AZ Vie dstIoHotHIcal observatory OF
Berlin discovery has lately been made
which, without doubt, will cause the
greatest sensation, not only among
those not adopts in science, but even
among the most learned. Professor
Beldmann, in that city, has found, be-
y6nd doubt, that our old friend the
moon, is not mere lantern which
kindly furnishes light for the loving
youth and gas companies of our planet,
but the abode of living intelligent be-
ings, for which he IS prepared to furnish
proof most convincing.
This question has agitated humanity
from time immemoiial, and has been
the object of the greatest interest. But
the opinions have always differed very
widely. and no TWO minds held one and
the same. Already In ancient times
the belief prevailed that the moon was
inhabited with some higher organized.
intelligent beings, somewhat resembling
man, and in order to communicate with
them the early enthusiasts planted rows
of trees several miles in length, so as to
form the figure of the Pythagorean the
orem. The celebrated astronomer,
Schroeder, in the beginning of the pres
ent century, fancied that he could de-
tect places on the surface of the moon
which periodically grew lighter and
darker, and from this fact lac derived
the conclusion that the phenomenon
was proof for existing vegetation.
During the last few decades, however,
the idea Of life on the moon has been
held up to ridlcule, and totally scorned
by men of learning. But nevertheless
it has been proven to be correct.
BY accident Dir. Befdmann found
that the observations of the moon gave
but very unsatisfactory results, owing
to the intensity Of the light power of
the moons atmosphere, which is that
strong that it effects the correctness of
the observations in very high degree.
He then conceived the idea to make the
object glass of the refractor less sensi-
tive 70 the rays of light, and for that
purpose he darkened it with the smoke
of camphor. It took months Of exper-
imenting before he succeeded, to find
the right degree of obscurity of the
glass, and when finally found he then
with the refractor took very accurate
photo of the moons surface. This he
placed in a sun microscope, which gave
the picture diameter of ffty-fve and
one half feet. The revelation was most
startling. It perfectly overturned al
hitherto entertained ideas of the moon
surface. Those level plains which for
merly were held to be oceans of water
proved to be verdant fields, and wha
formerly was considered mountain:
turned out as deserts cf sand and oceans
Of water. Towns and habitations o
all kinds were plainly discernible, a
we'll as signs of industry and traffic
The learned professors study and obser
vatlons of cid Luna will be repeat'
every full moon when the sky is clear
and we venture to predict that the TIM
is not far off when we shall know mo.
about the man in the moon than as be-
ing an agent in English politics.- Ex
