liberty cars prepared here, there will

The teamsters here have gener-

Fine Grain from Desert Land.

Reuben l.. Brown,the old freighter,
was in town last Saturday. showing
two sheaves of. barley and rye grown
from the Hoyt desert claim, four mil' S

ton. Mr.. Brown settled on the land
under the homestead act, two years
ago, thiuking it unclaimed. After
putting on crop and living Oh it a
wear he was informed that it had been
entered under the desert act. He
therefore proposes to contest the en-
try--anl rightly, too. Land that can
grow such grain without irrigation is
as good as can be found anywhere.

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE,
That Parents are Requested to Put a
Stop To.


Mr.. Huffaker requests the TINES to
call the attention of parents to tho
fact that children-espec'ally boys
frequently start destructive conAagra.
tons by the ,ndiscr'minate use of
matches, and to suggest that little
care might keep the matches away
from tho children. Last Saturday af-
ternoon he saw few boys playing on
some dry manure and straw close by
Joe Woodworth's barn. They were
lighting cigarettes, and dropping
lighted matches and sparks and burn
ing tobacco in the straw. Seeing
them, Mr.. Huflaker warned them to
desist. The boys good-na,ured'y
went elsewhere to play, but were not
lucky i'll selecting the place, which
was between the Transfer Company's
and Hughcs's barn, in rear of iiafter's
meat market, where there is much dry
hay and straw.
This is a very dangerous practice,
and one which frequently results in
the destruction of entire towns; and
Haley is at this time in imminent
danger, not only from this, but from
several other causes. "A fire once
started might destroy the whole bust
ness portion of HALEY.

The fatal rapidity with which slight
Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the gravest maladies of the throat
and lungs, Is q consideration which should
impel every prudent person to keep at
hand, as household remedy, bottle of
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
J. Nothing else gives such immediate relief
and works SO sure a cure in all affections
Of this class. That eminent physician,
Prof. F. Swcetzer, of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says:-
y "Medical science has produced no other ano-
dyne expectorant SO good as Ayers CHERRY
ELECTORAL II is invaluable for diseases Of the
throat and lungs"
y The same opinion is expressed by the
well-known DR.. L. j. Addison, Of Chicago,
ILL.,, who says:-
II have never found, in thirty five years Of
continuous study and practice Of medicine, any
preparation Of so great value as AYERS CHERRY
PECroRAI, for treatment of diseases of the
throat and lungs. 1t not only breaks up colds
and cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than anything else in relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary affections"

An extraordinary case Of persecution
has just been disposed Of by the Central
Criminal Court in London. The per-
aecutor was man called Helmore; the
persecuted young lady named Grier-
son. As long ago as 1874, when Miss
Grierson was mere child and Helmore
3 youth of twenty, he began his perse-
cntion BY trying to make her acquaint-
ance. For eleven years he forced his
unwelcome attentions upon her, followed
her from place to place, watched her
movements, logged her steps, wrote her
letters, sent her presents and resorted
60 every means and device TO obtrude
himself into her society. He patroled
q front Of her house for hours ct =
sine, followed her to school, kneeled
near her in church, tracked her TO Paris
and other places. In some Of his
letters he addressed her as Dearest,
darling wife, and signed himself s'Kind
and faithful husband;" in others he
threatened her and himself. She never
gave him any encouragement. and her
friends were active in their efforts to
pnt an end to the annoyance.
The strangest aspect Of the affair is
hat The persecution could have been
sept up 50 long without being stopped
Nv she courts. Once or twice he was
nzraigned in the police court and bound
ever 10 keep the peace But he did not
Keep Ii. Then Miss Grierson was made
ward IN chancery, and chancery pro-
edinga were resorted 70 Cor her pro
lection. But these proved ineffective.
Finally Helmore was indicted for threat
ening her life in letter. The defence
uas that he was In love and that s'love
a. species Of madness" This plea,
however, did not prevent the jury from
eonvicting him or Justice Hawkins from
sentencing him to fifteen months In.
aonment with hard labor.

THE DEATH OF gARRIOs
Struck BY Tive BuIleGa m He lm Person
Led q Battalion 60 Battle

Theodore Pasckhe, an engineer who
volunteered to accompany Barrios on the
expedition against Salvador, writes to q
friend In Hoboken this account of the
dictator's death:
''On Sunday, March 20, we started
Cor the frontier, and reached Chingo
next day in the forenoon. The Salvador
forces had entrenched themselves on the
other side OF the river, and awaited rs.
In the afternoon our artillery asmoved
into position and opened fire. About 8
,. M. our forces began to Cross the river,
and an hour later the Salvadorenos were
put to fight. All their trenches were
taken, and our troops pursued them until
dark.
ssNext day headquarters was moved
into Salvador, on hacienda called Mag
dalena. The Salvadorenos had with
drawn to the town Of Chalcuapa, where
they had fortified themselves. BY We'd
nesday morning about 10000 men had
been pushed ahead toward that position,
and our headquarters was movedpahead
again right in front OF the town, on .
height from which the whole coming
battlefield could be overseen. Oar ar
tillery opened fire to draw out the enemy
and feel their position. Their artillery
responded, and the duel was kept up,
on our side to cover the movements Of
our troops. BY nightfall our troops had
taken such position that they had cut
OF the enemy from all re-enforcements
and from retreat, and 1t seemed Is II
they all must become our prisoners.
s'Next morning our artillery opened
Ere again, and our reserves were put
into position. Between 8 and 10 o'clock
IN officer came to headquarters and told
Barrios that q certain battalion refused
to 60 into the fight under the leadership
Of its commander. Barrios left head
quarters to make a speech to these
troops. In the heat Of speechmaking
be asked If they would go to battle with
him. OF course the answer was one
viva, and he then and there opened
the battle In person, and led this bat
talon, took couple Of trenches, but fell,
pierced by two bullets. The battle
opened all round, and our troops began
50 close in on the enemy, but as one
battalion after the other learned that
their Patron had fallen dead, they be-
same demoralized, Withdrew, and gave
up q battle already won. I went back
with the body Of the chief to the capital,
where 1t arrived on Sunday, April 8. !"

Some months 40 the employee q 3
certain firm IA Costa Rica embezzled !
large sun d money, and skipped. The
description waa forwarded 10 the firms
resident agent h this city, Who instructed
the detectives to watch each incoming
steamer from South America for the
fugitive. When the Granada steamed
past the city front there was q detective
On board, and this detective had his eve

answered the description Of the embez-
xler 10 o dot. The detective smiled and
felt happy. After months Of waiting
here was his man at last, delivered into
his hands, safe and snug, without the
possibility Of resistance or escape. Bis
mouth watered As he gazed ON the red-
haired man. he could no longer resist
his prey. He tapped him On the shoul-
der and said with genial smile, ''How
are you. Mr.. Blank p
SIN pretty well, I thank you, /" re-
piled the stranger; s'but that is not my
name"
s'Of course not, Of course not, said
the detective, knowingly; even see
about il, however, my friend. Just come
along with me and everything win be
explained" and the officer smiled all
over and patted the red-haired man af-
fectionately on the shoulder.
The stranger followed his captor In q
dazed sort Of way into coupe, and they
drove to the agents house.
sYou have been ct large long time,
my friend, said the detective; ssyou've
had lots Of fun. How much OF that
money have you spent now?"
"What money? You must be crazy,
said the prisoner.
ssOf course, of course, said the officer;
'jump out here with me. There is
gentleman here who Is most anxious to
-see you"
The agent met them at the door, and
to the establishment and DISNEY of the
detective, shook the red-haired man
warmly Dy the nanos and appeared de-
lighted 10 see him.

steamer to meet YOU" he said. 'How
did you find the house ?"
'sThis kind person directed me, " said
the red-haired man with grin. ''He
would have it that was - who got
away with US some months age"
The officer was paralyzed. The gen.
tleman whom he had escorted to the
agents house was member Of the plum
dered firm, quite as anxious for the cap
ture Of the embezzler as the detective,
but he bore remarkable personal re-
semblance to the thief
The question Of whether, under the
circumstances, the detective should be
reimbursed for the hack outlay is still in
allegiance. San Francisco AIto.

AbOnt be WhIts Hoase.

Some strange things occur about the
White House, and late visits by tourists
are among them, says q Washington
letter writer. It was 1I:45 at night
when q gentleman and his wife rang the
bell At the door Of the north entrance to
the Executive Mansion and requested
permission to be shown over the house.
They were told by the doorkeeper that
il was after hours, and that the proper
time to inspect the premises was be-
tween 10 IN the morning and 2 in The
afternoon Notwithstanding the late
ness Of the hour the nocturnal visitors
insisted that they ought to be shown
over the house because they had to
leave Washington the next morning and
would not have another opportunity.
This Is only one case, and the door
keepers say It il not unusual for such
visits during the night. Sometimes
they have considerable trouble in dis
suadirg callers from carrying ont tlieir
purpose to roam over the Waite House
during thls hours belonging to The Presi-
dent. when be wants 70 be private.

LOST IN THE sOUDAN.
Disappearance OF n Well-KmOwm HA0md0m
War Correspondents and Others.


Press correspondents at Sualim are
telegraphing complaints TO London con-
corning the arbitrary way in which the
military censorship over dispatches TO
newspapers is ct present exercised The
correspondents aver that they are not
permitted to send important news ct all.
Every additional fact that leaks ont
concerning the situation Of the British
troops in the Soudan reveals more Of
the misery which has been caused by
the bungling plan Of campaign, and
which has been sedulously concealed by
the military censors. There are scores
Of men who went with the late General
Stewart from Korti to Metemneh last
january who have not returned, and
have NOT been accounted for.
For long time they were carried On
the rolls as missing, but they have
gradually been dropped, and IL Is now
considered certain that they strayed be-
yond the lines after the battles Of Abu
Klea and Gubat, and were captured and
butchered by the Arabs. The fate Of
Frank Vizitelly, the artist-correspondent
Of the London Graphsc, is also consid-
cred sealed. he was supposed to be the
only survivor Of the massacre Of Hicks
Pasha's army at El Obeid in November,
1888, and was known to be prisoner in
Ell Mahdi's camp for some months after
that disaster. Nothing has been heard
from him since November, 1884. and
even the most hopeful Of his friends
have given him up for lost. Mr..
Vizitelly was 3 war correspondent Of
great experience and hitherto of Won
derful luck. His first campaign was
with Garibaldi, from whose camp he.
sent sketches 70 the Illustrated Times.
Next he went to America during the
civil war, first On the Northern side, and
then, running the blockade ct Charles
ton, he joined the C0nfederates. sending
letters and sketches from both armies to
the Illustrated Times. During the
