Monkey and Medicine Bottle.

Augustus Long, of Bethlehem, Is the possessor of an ostrich and a monkey. Upon arecent day the ostrich, through some manner, sprained one of its legs, and the owner ordered his hired man to bathe the injured leg with a pow erful liniment. The hired man did as directed, and secured To- ton, which he applied in the stable in the presence of the mon key. who was an intent observer of all his actions. After the process of bathing had been performed the hired man placed the prepara- tion upon shelf and busted him self in trimming the hair from the fetlocks of one of the horses Having occasion to leave the stable for short time, he left the shears lying on the ground within easy reach of the monkey. He had scarce quilted the building when the monkey climbed up to the shelf, and, securing the bottle of liniment, withdrew the cork and drank the entire contents. Scarce ly had the liquid entered his sto h. ach than he became aware that he had been monkeying with something that he had no business with. The burning pain he suffer ed set the animal frantic, and seizing upon the shears lying close by, he scissored his own tail off The monkey has survived his terri ble experience, and will know better next time.-Easton Penn Free Press.

The body of Jenkins. who was reported missing few days since,
 was found on the 24th inst. buried in canon, in sitting position, q few hundred feet from the resi- dence of D. W. Dilda, the mur
 derer of Deputy Sheriff J. NJ. Murphy. Jenkins was supposed to have had money. and was shot through the head by Dilda, at the latter's house, and taken in wheelbarrow to where he was buried. The wife of the murderer was arrested Christmas day and is now in jail in Prescott, with her two chllden, aged four years and ten months, respectively. She is young woman, and rather prepos- sessing. Her father is wealthy and respectable rancher of Salt river valley. A grand jury has been summoned to meet to inves- tigate the crime. The woman promises to make complete con fession. Excitement has been somewhat allayed by the assurance that the prisoner shall have speedy trial and prompt punish ment. It has now been discovered that Dilda killed man in Texas few years ago. He also had two shooting scrapes near Phoenix, without killing any one, however, and was compelled to leave there.
 Dr. J. Pool, who was in Tucson about ten days ago, met with quite serious accident on his way home. When about six miles from Vim Oury's ranch his shot gun was discharged by the ham mer striking the brake and the charge went through the muscles of his right arm near the elbow, lacerating that member very badly. He had his medicine case and instruments with him, and his son drove over to Mir. Oury's ranch, where Mrs. Oury kindly furnished him with bandages and helped hIm to dress the wound. She heroically cut away the torn skin as the doctor held 1t with his tweezers in his left hand, and as- sisted in making him as comfort able as his condition would permit. At last reports he was doing quite we'll and hopes are entertained that the usefulness of his arm will be restored in few weeks.-Citi- izen 18th.

CHIC4GO,S RIVAL IN THE VEST.
The Garden City Losing Her Grip on the
Western Cattle Trade.

The Garden City Losing Her Grip on the
Western Cattle Trade.
Chicago special to the Omaha Bee: The
fact that Omaha is rapidly becoming a
dangerous rival OF Chicago, as far as the
cattle market is concerned, is now even adj
mitted by Chicago live stock men. The
following significant dispatch is published
in the Journal here this evening:
WASHINGTON, January 13.-Samuel Aller-
ton, OF Chicago, is reported in New York
correspondence to-day as saying that Chi
cago is rapidly losing ground as a cattle
market, the trade tending to center O at
Omaha, Neb., and Kansas City, Mo-
The Journal publishes an array OF figures
in its endeavor to show that Chicago is not
losing the trade, but it is well known that
Chicago commission men realize that they
lave a dangerous rival in Omaha. With
the help OF the railways, who are all repre-
sented in the directory OF the Union stock
yards here. they have been fighting Omaha
in every possible way for the past two or
three years, but some of the shrewdest
houses have given up this mode OF ware.
fare, and instead nave established houses
in Omahaa as we'll as Chicago, a move
which shows that Allerton's assertions are
well founded. The fact is that these Chi
cago men have 'killed the goose that laid
the goiuen egg." Cattle owners all over the
west lave been compelled to bear their ex-
horbitant charges for years, and now that
a rival is in the field they are doing all
they can to buiId it up.
