c. R. Parsons, the Sacramento real estate man, was sGourning at Lake Tahoe few weeks ago, drinking in the gum scented air and trying to get fat on Tahoe trout. 0ne day he and his friends strolled up to q little circle of Washoe Indians, who were hard at work over a game of casaino. They watched the play until one of the bucks had possessed himself of ,he entire available assets of his companions, when, rather than let the session stop, Nr. Parsons offered (o play with the Indian for ten cents q game.
 "No," sail the cl,icf, "him only fquaw's game, me play you for q dollar"
 Finally a com, ,romise was effected on ;he ba. is Uf two bits game. The Indian exhibited remarkable skill, and Parsons had just made up his mind that he would have to telegraph to Sacramento for funds, when he noticed suspicious movement, and 
 reaching over quickly he pulled iron, under the Indian's leg big pack oi extra aces, which had no connection whatever with the deck in use. The red man had been counting up those aces on every deal. The crowd yelled with delight, while the Indian took the exposure with grin and atalked off iato the somber depths of the forest.

IT IS in order for Tombstone, more than any other section, to get up q suitable entertainment in honor cf General Mills, Captain Lawton and Lieutenant Gatewood, and THE TOMBSTONE would suggest gr nd barbecue in the daytime and q grand ball in the evening and have them free, so that everyone can attend and shake hands with these gallant off, cCrs and mingle with them. Our ranchers would furnish good fat beeves free of charge and the citizens of Tombstone would furnish the other requirements necessary. Invitations sent to all parts of the Territory would be responded to and our city would be filled with an enthusiastic people from all sections, eager to de homage to the men who have relieved Arizona of it's greatest curse and opened the way to peace and pros perity. We hope that our citizens will take this matter in hand at once, and that our contemporaries will urge the matter on with us.

About Geronimo.

Specisl to THE DAILY ToNBsToNEl.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The pro ject is being seriously considered ot sending Geronimo and lis fellow savagcs to Fort Jefferson, Fla, the St. Helena of the United States. It is situated about seventy miles from Key West or midWa y between Florida and Cuba. Fort Jefferson is. about the first place yellow fever yisits when it starts out on it's destroying path. The War department is not at all easy as to the effect the capture of Geroni- mo and his braves will have upon the Mescalero Apaches, who, with the Jacarillc Apaches, are situated upon a reservation at Fort Stanton, N. M. These Indians, the Mescaleros espc- cially, although apparently of a very peaceful disposition and carrying on their every day avocations in a quiet manner, were known to be in constant communication with the Ch.ricahuas just captured. Most of the ammuni- ton and great deal of the supplies of Geronimo's band were provided by this tribe.

 WHEN silver falls the fact is con- strued into an argument to prove that the present silver coinage act should be repealed. When silver rises that fact is another reason why the silver coinage act should be repealed. With silver on the down grade the argument is that the American coin age of few millions year will not stay its course, but when silver recovers little the assurance is given that the United States by main taining the price of silver is putting off the day when England and Ger many would be compelled to remonet- ize that m tai. There seems to be 2 goodly number of persons who are friendly to silver, but advocate its characterization by the United States as a measure to bring the English to their senses. The real silver men will be slow to take up the idea that the way to restore silver is to with draw from it what little recognition 1t now has. If the fact could be estab- lished that silver would not be de- monetized it's rise would be as rapid IS its fall. There is as much use as there ever has been for the white metal, and the public only need to know that the unfriendly legislation of the past few years is not to be con tinued. The silver currency of the Lain Union has been allowed to wear out for the past seven years without renewal, but that policy cannot be continued much longer. The Latin Union cannot dispense with silver, and to keep their supply good their hints must again be set at work. A firm stand on the part of the United States would do much to restore con- 6dence in the silver using nations oi Europe.-s. F. Call.

No Map or T'he Unised States.

No Map OG G'he GnigeI States.
 It will be surprising perhaps to the public to know that, after spending $8,000,O 900 in surveys, there is still no actual map in existance of the Uni ted States. The coast survey and the Photographic Office have prepared " reasonably accurate map of our coast line, but the internal surveys have been so inaccurate aud imperfect that rivers mountains and towns have Tn many cases been located on pre- vious maps as much as five miles out of their true position. This is, of course very tue of those points re- mote from railroads which have, of course been less accurate. The new map now ill preparation by Col. Pow ell, would occupy the floor space of a room in an ordinary dwelling house and will be absolutely accurate with in the limit of the scale of feet upon which it has been prepared. It will take about Q year to complete this, md when done it will be the only accurate map of the United States in existence. The astronomers have long claimed to have prepared a more accurate map of the moon at dis tance of 250, 900 miles than has yet been made of the State of New York from surveys made upon the ground These maps however have been made by means of photography, and hence | are more accurate in their outline than could have been obtained by nasty triangulations, Major Powell'S map, however will be as accurate q representation of the geographical To- cation of the mountains, rivers and towns of our own country as the as troromers have yet prepared of the queen of the night. He has also in preparation < dictionary of altitude by which he will set at rest the long mooted question IS 10 the relative sea level of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. According to railroad levels heretofore made the Pacific is suppos' ed to stand about four feet above the level of the Atlantic. Within a year
 Powell will have settled this question - Washington Cor. Indianapolis |. News.

Indies and the number of stations increased
in the west and in British America. Re
ports received from the sea coast telegraph
lines, in some cases, were of special value
in the issue Of storm warnings and securing
aid for stranded vessels Valuable cargoes
have been saved and sailors rescued by the
prompt information communicated over this
line by signal service observers, and II
should not only be maintained, but ex
tended along the more dangerous portions ol
the coast.
During the year the percentage OF veritica
ton of weather indications was SO 2-10 pei
cent. Highly satisfactory progress is re
ported in the system of cold wave warnings
Gen. Hazcn recommends the establishment
of additionally cautionary signal stations on
the lakes to meet the demands of those in
terested in lake navigation, and to make this
feature of the service complete. The cotton
region reports are becoming more valuable
each year, and there is an increased demand
for the information furnished. These OBJ
seryations Gen. Hazen thinks should be made
continuous throughout the year.
OF the service generally he says it is grow.
ing, the demands upon it are increasing, and
much more good work could be done in the
distribution of weather forecasts, storm
frost and food warnings if the appropriations
for these branches of the service were in
creased

A POSSIBLE CLEW TO THE ROCK
ISLAND EXPRESS ROBBERY.

A Prisoner in the Chicago Jail Who
Claims to Have q knowledge of the Al
fair-A Kentucky Preacher Horrible
Beaten for the Way He VOted-Arens-
DORIS Bail-Criminalities.
CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-It is thought over on
the north side and at the office of the ROCK
Island railroad that a clew has been obtained
to the robbery of the United States express
car and the death of the brave messenger
Nichols. A prisoner at the jail, who is booked
for a very commonplace offense, has made a
part confession of the knowledge of the crime
He said that he was present when the plan
for the Rock Island railroad rob
berry was made by the men who COM
mitted it Those, he said, who were
present on that occasion were Dickens,
Hopkins, and Saunders, men whose ways
have long been under the the eyes of the law,
and the driver of one of the wagons of the
Chicago & Rock Island Railroad company,
whose name he did not know, but whom he
said he could easily recognize if an oppor-
tunity was given him to do so. A good deal
of improbability surrounds the story, but it
has been carefully taken down and will be
investig ated. The prisoner first told the
story to Detective McSinn.

Crowl, who forged his mothers name to a

to trial His mother is dying, after having
compromised with the victimized banks. He
has been liberated to attend her deathbed,
and her absence at the trial would necessarily
free him, though his paternal estate has
already been expended in settling for his
crime The mothers condition is due to
worry over the young mans fate. He was

Dustin Said To Be a Fugitive.

LINCOLN, Ills, Nov. 22.-Friday the credit
ors of William NJ. Dustin &c Co. were ex-
cited by the report that Dustin had fled the
country. He sold his horse and buggy
Thursday and left hurriedly. His destina-
tion is supposed to be Montana. The injunc-
ton hanging over his property was dismissed
in the appellate court An investigation
shows it will fall $50, 900 short of the valua-
ton first placed on it. Dustin & Co., with
William NJ. Dustin, owe $160, 900, and to pay
this with $5O, 900 will be a financial problem
well nigh imp Sssible.
