A Sheriff Badly Mauled.

Sheriff Bussey, says the Macon Tele-
graph. enjoys Il reputation all over the
state as one of the best and shrewdest
officials. besides being man of un-
questionable courage. He has natural
knack in ferreting out criminals, and
has been known to undergo many trials
and priyatiOns in order to carry out his
plans for the capture of criminals; but
one of the tightcst places he was ever
placed in was with a lunatic, and he
tells the story himself:
81 went in a buggy several miles in
the country after negro man who had
been bound by cords and kept securely
until could place him in Jail to await
Il trial on writ of lunacy. | found
him bound hand and foot, and when |
released him from his uncomfortable
position he seemed To be the most CRATE
full negro ever saw. / concluded that
as he looked upon me as his deliverer, |
would have no difficulty in carrying
him to town. Accordingly, gave him
a seat in my buggy and did not tic him
in any way. placed him on my right
side. and We drove off all right. My
horse was a spirited animal, and when
the negro would now and then give Il
yen II "oui" II anu II iC-
quired all | could do to keep the horse
from running away. When we had
gone a few miles the negro changed.
He seemed TO think 1 was carrying him
to jail, and before knew it he dealt me
q stingiug blow on the side of the head,
nearly knocking me out of the buggy.
l held on to the lines, knowing that if
/ turned them loose the horse would run
away and perhaps kill us both. Meet
ing with no resistance the negro gave
ME another blow, and then another,
and still another, until began to think
| was being mauled with sledge-ham-
mer The more l talked to him the
madder he seemed to get, and then he
began TO belabor me until | was fast be-
ing beaten into jelly. l was never so
badly punished in my life. He rained
his heavy, singing blows upon me, and
the horse was going at his utmost speed.
There was not u soul in sight, and to
drop the lines to defend myself meant a
horrible death. Finally we met some
men in the road, and using all my
strength 1 stopped the horse, and my
prisoner was fastened again in ropes.
But for this would have been beaten
to DEATH ------ -----

Bachelor Cowboys Who Hate Nor
mona.

The climate of Montana is not partic-
ularly healthy for Mormons. princi-
pally, l believe, says Miles City cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Record.
because the soil contains so many wide
awake bachelor cowboys who are badly
in need of wives themselves. The royal
cowpunchers of Montana hate a Nor
mon male us they do a snake. Being
unable to get Il single helpmeet them
selves, although being better able to
support dozen where a Mormon can
not support one, it riles them to have
some long-haired, rascally elder come
along with four, five and possibly six
wives, and settle down with the utmost
gall and cheek on government claim.
There are about $4,000 more bachelors
in Montana than there are women al
together. Nearly all of these 25,0OO
have splendid ranches, farms or claims
of some kind, and need only wife to
complete their cup of happiness. 1t is
no exaggerated picture l am drawing,
for the vast territory of Montana con-
tains innumerable bachelor homes, and
these bachelors would make the best OF
husbands if given half a chance. The
little town of Maiden, Il few miles north
of here. contains not a single unmar-
ried lady The small village only ten
miles west of us is simply 4 community
of bachelors. These thousands of young
men. middle-aged men and old men all
have comfortable bank accounts, and
would marry on the slightest provoca
ton, so to speak. Each one is calcu,
lated to make some woman happy, and
would give the damsel who cared to
risk her future with him all the ready
cash she could possibly spend in this
world. No wonder our bachelors hate
the Mormon males who have more than
their share of female blessings.

The Cuban Woman.

But of the Cuban wOman's loveliness
there can be no question. She is beau
tiful in form, in movement, in face.
From the nitia or little girl to old age
she is still beautiful. She is winsOmc as
a child, lovely as maiden, enhancing
as "A sweetheart, adorable as Il wife,
dear and sweet as n mother, and again
charming and winsOmc when the days
have come wherein she is 4 child again.
Somehow that sort OF thing, all the way
along, would seem TO comprise cOndi-
tions out of which good women could
secure the trucst worship, the happiest
lives. And / believe they do here.
In the physical beauty of the Cuban
woman the commanding features are
the foot, whose daintiness and symmetry
are marvellous; the supple, willowy
grace of movement of person; the eX-
Quisitely modelled form, and the eyes
which never lose their luster and glow.
Cuban women wear shoes no larger
than the No. size for women in the
states. Nor is this diminutive size the
result of any pinching process. She is
born that way. That is her foot You
could hold two of them in your one
hand. And. whatever the woman's 8
weight or size, the foot is universally
this dainty and beautiful thing, Its
arch is wonderful. But one thing about
it otfends the foreigners eye. That is
the high, narrow heel, two or three
inches long, and scarcely a third of an
inch at its narrowest part. One feels
afraid of accidents and contretemps
from it. But this pretty-foOted woman
is sure-fcoted one. She is the most
graceful woman on her feet, in her walk
and carriage, in the promenade. or in
the dance, you ever saw. So this sinewy,
1.-THE grace must also be inbred, part
Of the grain, fiber, blood, and the very
spirit back of them. OF her form, it is
perfection. Nine women out of ten you
meet are models of symmetry. l should
say they were rather under the size OF
our average American women. There
Is greater delicacy in line and proper
tion. They do not SO torture their per
sons or themselves. They do not endea-
vor to abolish the action of every vital
organ, and those organs themselves. IN
an effort to rival the hour-glass in form.
They are themselves. Many American
women ruin themselves and sicken the
public endeavOring to be something be-
sides women all around. These women
are Just as God made them. All wo-
men are physically beautiful when they
let God alone in these matters. All wO-
men who do otherwise make themselves
hideous to even men who pretend gal
liant admiration.-E. L. WdkenlGi,i, IN,

4 Few More Points,

IHhl above letter, we ma


we have had the exclusive sale of the
Rock ford Quick Train Railroad Watch
for the past three years. No OTHER
PARTY CAN BUY THEM FROM THE FAC
TORY, OR HAS ANY RIGHT TO SELL
THEM. 1t seems to us much like boys
play to get angry and advertise prices
because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as we
have no money TO advertise goods not
i'll stock. Sucn desperate efforts will
not deceive any. The people know
that we have never cursed the place as
ready to be fenced in, because we were
going to leave it. They know that we
are not travelling experimental instl-
tuition, and they will continue to buy
their Watches, Silver Ware, etc, of

The understanding in Wall street
is that Jay Gould now has in hand
the biggest deals in his career. 1t is
estimated that lie will make from
$40 ,0OO,O 900 to 100000 clear money
in them. The principal one of them
the telegraph matter involving the
land.liEe fight. the cable contest and
the stock-tlcker war. He will make
$40, 900 900 out of this one thing alone
in the appreciation in value of the
securities owned by him. His other
great gains will be in the Wabash
railway reorganization and the adjust
ment of affairs connected with the
Southwestern system of railroads.
Gould's greed for money has grown
of late years until he is grasping as a
miser. He has lost all his ventur.

that covets a piece of cheese. and as
saving as a cast-away. The Hon.
Russell Sage, whose name for econo'
my has spread to the furtherElost
ends of the civilized globe, seems ia
have inspired Mr.. Gould with his
ways.
1t is Mr.. Gould's ambition to be the
richest man in America. John Jaco
Astor enjoys that distinction at pres

$3.50, 0OO,O 900. Mr.. Gonld's wealth ag.

the greatest agility, and so rapid in
his movements that he passes and re.
passes persons who are waiting for
him without their recognizing him.
He has not an idle minute in the day.
His interviews are brief and to the
point. He rarely says more than
Yes" or NO to questions.
Mr.Gould Is very early riser.
The first streak of light in summer or
winter sees his eyes open. He is out
of bed at once. and as soon as he can
get his breakfast is at his work, which
he has often said is neverending.
