COastlng.

Complaint is made that some OF the
boys in the city are in the habit Of
coasting down Main street. One
gentleman had great difficulty in
preventing his team, which had be-
come frightened at the unusual ap-
pearance of a boy upon u fast run
ming sled, from running away as he
drove up Main street yesterday.
Boys like coasting, and probably no
serious harm will result from their
indulging in it if they confine their
sport to less frequented streets. But
they should not be allowed to make
the principal street in the city their
playground. They are not only Ii
able to receive injury themselves by
running into teams, but may cause
runaways by which some life may be
sacrificed. The authorities should
see to it that the practice be discon-
tinued Immediately.

Der Bill Wilson,, says the Fort Mac
leod GGzette-a rather OlGish man
with STOPPING shoulders, who spent
some weeks IN Macleod. On Satur-
day, 10th instant, he began herdiDg
for the Northwestern Coal and Nav
igation Company's bull team, but
mistook some of j. G. Bakers beef
cattle tor the work cattle. These he
herded without finding out his mis-
take, mi day and a night. He then
left them and went to Whoop Up for
dinner. This was Monday. Moth
ing was seen of him again until the
following Saturday, when he re-
turned to Whoop Up, having been
wandering over the prairie in the
meantime without food. After this he
started for Mcleod, Mr.. D.. Akers
putting him on the right trail. Dur
ing his previous wandering he had
turned his horse loose, and was now
afoot. He evidently again lost his
way, for he did not reach Frank
Strong's cabin until the Dext (Sun-
day. night. He bad then been out
eight days, during which time he had
only two meals, his feet were both
badly frozen, and he was out OF his
head. He will probably be brought
into the hospital here.

A Runaway.

A Walkerville express team in
dulged in a runaway last evening
which came near resulting seriously
to Mrs. Morris and daughter. Dash
Ing down Main street at a furious
pace the team, which was attached
to a pair of new hobs, turned into
West Broadway. Here it took to
the sidewalk in front of the Eureka
Market where the hobs, colliding
with the awning posts standing in
front of the building, broke them
down, thus precipitating a section of
the roof to the sidewalk. Mrs. Nor
ris and daughter were In front of the
building, and barely saved them-
selves by darling into the shop. A
moment after the broken roof, splin-
tered posts and the hobs formed q
confused mass where the lady and
child had stood. The collision
checked the team, which was taken
in charge by Officer Micklejohn, and
the bobs found shelter in Falligan's
market. For a few moments the
sidewalk in front of the market
looked as though it had been struck
by an Iowa cya]one.

The Las Vegas Gold Mines.

Advices from Las Vegas, New
Mexico, indicate great excitement
among the citizens in regard to the
late gold discoveries. Gold is said to
have been found IN paying quantities
on q lot at Hot Springs, owned by a
prominent resident of Topeka, a few
days ago by two miners employed to
assist in the excavation of the ground
for the new $lO0, 600 court house.
Next morning they were up with the
lark stalking out mining claims in
the court yard, and now the hills and
valleys around Vegas are all swarm
ing with excited gold-seekers, many
of whom have net with success.
Eight business men have formed a
company, purchased an interest in
the court yard, and will try and de-
velop it. A few years ago Elizabeth
town. near Las Vegas, had a popula-
ton of 5000 gold miners, and for q
number of years a company was en-
gagged in hydraulic mining, taking
out $50, 900 annually.

Sad Case of Insanity.

"Papa," she said, as the old man
sank into an easy chair, after a hard
days work at his office, II noticed in
the evening paper that sealskin
sacques are advancing in price"
$50 they are, my dear, so they are.
"And you know you promised to
buy me one this winter"
II know I did," he replied, and I
will keep my word. But with the
increased price and the scarcity of
money I expect it will cramp me
somewhat"
II was thinking" his daughter
then said, as she clasped a pair ofsoft,
white arms saround his neck, "if it
would not be better to wait until next
winter. My old cloak will do very
we'll, and perhaps sealskin sacques
will be cheaper then"
The old man groaned in anguish of
spirit and murmured to himself, "My
worst fears are realized"
In the morning the young woman
was tenderly taken to an insane asy-
lum, where it is believed that with
proper care, she may ultimately re-
cover her reason.-Phlodelphia Call.

She Was a Yankee Woman.

Mrs. Towsley is a Yankee woman.
She came from the quiet of the Green
mountain state to visit her nieces in
this city. Like all Vermont women,
she was practical, quick-witted, and
fearless. She had been in the city for
wo weeks. Yesterday she entered
he Grand Central depot to take the
rain for her home. Miss Alice, her
iece, who resides on Fast Thirty
fth street, accompanied her to the
rain. Mrs. Towsley put her hand
nto her pocket-her purse was gone.
She began to talk somewhat excited
~ and a crowd of men formed in a
circle about her.
"Auntie. let me nay your fare.
just see the crowd" whispered the
blushing girl.
"Wait and see me disperse them,"
said the aunt as she became as calm
as the lake in Central park.
"3entlemen, l am from Vermont.
I am a poor woman, and l have lost
my pocket book. You all appear to
be deeply interested in my case.
Maybe you will kindly make up the
amount / have lost"
Before the Vermont woman could
extend her hand to receive the dona-
tions the men had vanished-then
she found her pocket book.-New
York World.
