A NOTABLE sign Of progress in
China is the recent action of the I'M
perial Government in the matter of
the coal mines of the Empire The
country is rich in mineral deposits Of
various kinds, but native superstitions
prejudice their development to any
great extent. Attempts have been
made at different times to open mines,
but work in them has been stopped
by the Government because of the
belief of many of the people that such
excavations would disturb the earth
demons and bring down upon the
land some terrible calamity. The
Government has now determined to
open the rich coal mines of the coun-
try, and work them in more syste-
matte manner than has hitherto been
attempted.

ARIZONA AS A STOCK CoUNTRY.-The following item is taken from one of our Arizona exchanges, which one has slipped our memory. The item conveys interest ing intelligence which our readers should know: "There are now in the territory SO0,OOO head of cattle, and under existing conditions there IS room for ,000 ,000 more. With a soil of remarkable fertility the great need is water. The rainfall is sufficient to produce beuntiful supply of highly nutritious natural grasses, but not sufficient for agricultural purposes. The running streams which can be de- pended upon for supplying the needs of stock are few and far between. As it is well known, cattle can range only about six or seven miles away from water therefore vast areas of land beyond such limits, well supplied with grasses, are now unavailable for grazing purposes. The ranges of Arizona embrace 60,000 square miles of good grazing lands, equal to 84O0,O00 acres, a very large part Of which cannot now be used for the reason just stated.
 The climate of Arizona, especially in the nor thern part of the Territory, is mild and healthful. No epidemic disease has ever been known among cattle, and the conditions of climate and of soil are favor able to the raising of animals of the high CT breeds"

They arc sold at auction to the highest bidder, and the purchaser will secure the lady's company as a partner for the evening, and will share in the contents of the lunch basket.

 WHEREAS, It is by the Fifth Section of said Ae. provided as follows: That the President is hereby authorized to take such means as shall be necessary to re- move and destroy any unlawful enclosure on any of said lands, and to employ such civil or military force as may be neces- sary for that purpose;;' and
 "WHEREAs, It has been brought to my knowledge that unlawful inclosures and such as are prohibited by the terms of the aforesaid statute, exists upon the public domain, and that actual legal settlement thereon is prevented and ob- structed by such inclosures and by force, threats snd intimidation,

From Munster.

Heavy rains here last week, and the oats
are somewhat damaged on that account.
However, the greatest pest has been the
grasshopper. Farmers claim that the crop
is damaged from four to five bushels per
acre on an average from these pests. The
bulk of the oat crop will be threshed out
of the shock. The prospects for good
corn crop is very favorable.
The following persons were visiting in
and around Munster the past week; Mr..
Porter, of Grand Ridge, at J. c. HELPERS
Mrs. Morgan, of Streator, guest of Mrs. 5.

Joliet Press: A little incident occurred
yesterday afternoon that well illustrates
the generosity of hOrsemen. The owner
of "Al. r." Mr.. A. w. Rogers, of Chicago,
suddenly missed his pocket-bo while on
the grounds and in the act of paying for
some pools that he had bought. There
was an even $1,000 in the wallet and the
gentleman became somewhat anxious in
the matter and proceeded at once to the St
Nicholas Hotel, where he was stopping,
went to his room, made complete search,
and then came down and reported to Gas
well that he had either lost or been robbed
of his pocket book. The genial bonface
knew better, for he had the valuable article
securely locked in the safe. After consol-
ing Mr.. Rogers for few moments over
his great loss, Caswell handed him the
much searched for purse. Where did
you find it," asked Rogers. zone of my
girls, named Katie Ryan found it lying on
the floor in your room and brought it to-
me for safe Keeping" replied Caswell.

ers. Here, give her this for me-" at the

that was of denomination considerably
