Il Probable Bonanza.

Uncle Bob Evens was in OsceOla
last Monday and showed us spec
linen of sienna, winch he found
while digging well on his place
near TIffin. He had been to Sc
dalia where he had the stuff assayed, =,
and they pronounced it to be the
genuine article. One of the speci-
mems was as 1t came from the earth,
and the other after it had been burnt.
The former was OF a clay color and
the latter pink.
Sienna is used by painters. LII
fact, all the cars and depots in the
country are painted with it, and it
is worth 3 cents per pound at whole
sale. Uncle Bob reports his vein
at twety teet thick, and by calculat-
ing tair value of his find can be
dad.
He informs US that he will at once
begin the organization OF a company
for the purpose of getting out the
mineral. He is row in consultation
with several paint and oil manufact-
ures, and should their reports be
favorable there will be plenty OF
money at his disposal to vigorously
prosecute the work.

INDEPENDENCE. KAN, April I2-
Hardly had the excitement Oh this
section caused by the murder OF Mrs.
Bonham and her children and the
lynching of Frank Bonham for the
crime, died away. ere the news came
that another mysterious horror had
been added to the list.
Hiram Foulks, bachelor aged
about * years, and universally re-
nuted to be i man OF the worst type,
lived alone on his handsome farm
eight miles southwest of here. He
was seen last Thursday attending to
mis- farm work. Friday he called in
some of his neighbors and arr ranged
10 come to this city with them on
Saturday,.
The neighbors passed his house
Yesterday on their way to town and
called for HIM, but seeing his horse
and saddle gone, supposed he had
eone alone. Not finding him in
town, they stopped again as they re-
turned home Not finding HIM about
the place, they called in the neighbors
and a search of the premises was
commenced.
Night coming on, the search was
postponed until this morning, when
the we'll was dragged. This result
ed in finding the body OF Hiram
Fouks floating on the water.
An examination of the body show
ed that the poor fellow bad been
shot in the back OF the head, the ball
passing upward through the brain,
On Friday evening about 9 O'Clock,
pistol shots were heard BY neigh
Dor near by, and it is supposed the
deed was done At that time.
1t was first supposed the murder
was committed for the purpose of
robbery, as Foulks was a man of
means, but 1t was found
that the body had not been searched
and that the house had not been
ransacked. Suspicion is now direct
ed toward a Young man, name un-
known, who left the same horse with
Mr.. FOuiks last fall, receiving for 1t
the sum of 500, with the understand
ing that the animal was to be re-
deemed this spring.
The coroner was at once summon
e, and he proceeded to the place and
held an inquest.
There was found on Foulk's BODY
81, 100. The house that he hved in
was nothing more than hovel, though
his estate was valued at $4,000.
A reward of $Ioo has been offered

President Arthur attempted to sur

with Nicaragua, which was with

this treaty become binding previous
TO the outbreak OF hostllities in Cen
tral America We should certainly
have been drawn into war OF a
harassIng character III country
where the climate is abomlnable and
with foes from whom neither glory
nor profit was to be earned. One
article of the treaty provi led that the
United States should immediate ly
advance to Nicaragua the sum OF
$1,000, 900, beng the first payment
of the 81 900, 900 to be advanced
that state on the security OF her share
in the canal tolls, and another article
required that we shall protect the
state from invasion. It is not diff
cult TO see how these provisions
would have complicated US with the
contentious and so-called "war'
now progressing IN Central America.
For the doubtful benefit OF beng
permitted to construct a canal at I'M
mense expense we would have been
required to champion the cause Of
Nicaragua amid all the schemes, con-
sDiracies and revolutions incident TO
Central American politics. The
country may heartily congratulate
itself upon having escaped the re

The rendition Of this famous comic opera

ciety was the most complete success Of any
amateur performance that has been rendered
IN this city for some time, and all who con-
tributed to its success are entitled to great
credit. The society have been rehearsed By
their director Mr.. Geo. Andrews, and showed
a degree OF traetability and enthusiasm that
made their large measure Of success com.
paratively easy. The chorus was particu-
larly rich aud strong aud did themselves

For some unaccountable reason the Pioneer
Press cannot resist the temptation to snuh
Mankato at every possible opportunity. Their
recent description Of the Mankato column OF
stone at the New Orleans exposition, wherein
they credit it to "Kasota" is only one of the
many sample bricks which the people OF
Mankato treasure up in their memory. An
other similar outrage was perpetrated upon
the cement works of this city soon after the,
were established, when they were located by
that IRRESPONSIBLE sheet "twelve miles from
st. Pet ~ Instead Of at Mankato, where they
really are. This continued misrepresenta-
ton OF any city or section cannot fail in the
end to recoil upon the head Of the perpetra-
tor, aud it is not at all singular that the citi-
zens of MankatO should contemplate watch
Ing for chance Of redress.

themselves well. There is also reason for
the society to feel proud of their orchestra.
Prof. JACKIE with several members of his
&c rmania'' and Miss Rita Wagner, pianist
directed by Miss Alice Andrews with but one
full rehearsal played the opera from begin
ming to end without break and contributed
largely to its success. Hereafter companies
who do not carry an orchestra need not fear to
take Mankato in their route for they will be
able to find an orchestra here that can handle
anything that they undertake. The choral
society is composed ladies and gentlemen,
and who have demonstrated their ability to
give an acceptable performance. 1t is much
better occasionally for home talent to enter
tain its own people than for travelling troupes
of uncertain merit to march off with what is
ofteutimes almost ill-gotten gains. The so
ciety publicly tender their thanks to the peo-
pie of Mankato for the liberal encouragement
and patronage which they gave them.
