The Phantom HOrSeman.


 The following story regarding the James boys was told by a prisoner who was Frank James, cellmate when both were confined in the h. dependence Jail.
 The story of the phantom horse man was always firmly believed by the companions of Frank and Jesse James. Frank was always the least superstitious of the men who rode with the celebrated raiders. Jesse, however, had a strong vein of su- perstition in his composition and firmly believed that tie phantom horseman was his own peculiar ban shee He frequently asserted that the appearance of the apparition was intended as a warning or fore boded evil. The first time Frank James saw the apparition was one night when he, Jesse, and several other members of the oItlawed night riders were riding along a lonely road in Kentucky. As they emerged from the heavy shadow of the trees, where two roads met, they came upon an open space where the moon shone brightly on the con- verging crossroads
 There, distinctly outlined in the bright moonlight, sat a man on a coal black horse. The moon shone brightly on the polished trappings of the steed. Horse and rider re- mained motionless, as if silently challenging the right of way to the party. Jesse drew his revolver to fire, but was stopped by one of the party, who exclaimed:
 My God, it is ghost" ]"
 The figure remained motionless and seemed gradually to fade away before their eyes as Jesse turned his horse and took the other road.
 i've seen him before" said Jesse, but refused to offer any further ex- planation.
 It is said that several other mem bers of the so-called James gang have seen this phantom, among them Bill Ryan and Dick Little, and can vouch for the authenticity of this account. The phantom was generally alluded to as "Jesse's ghost" and is said 10 have appeared to him shortly before his death. Jesse seemed to recognize the phan- tom as the ghost of somebody he had known in life, but was strange ly silent on the question and never vouchsafed any explanation.-Kan- sas City Star.

SERIOUS charges have already been preferred against Judge Barnes for corruption and malfeasance in office. The charges were prefer red some time ago before the proper authorities at Washington, and are entirely distinct and apart from the charges of corruption made by the friends of this paper against the honorable CD Judge.-Prospector

Campaign Notes.

Pat Ford's paper speaks of "Cleveland's British friends" i" and q good text it is, says the Boston Globe. Cleveland's British friends are Gladstone, Morley, Harcourt. Labouchere, Blunt and every man who is engaged in fighting Erin's battle against hoary prejudice. He has every reason to feel proud of them.
 The worst thing that the Repub- lican papers can say about Thur man is that he is little antiquated, And yet to see the old man pran- cing on the grave of monopoly's hope, but tor his crown of white, one might imagine him quite a kid. - Omaha Herald.
 The Kansas City Times picks up the New York Sun thus: It Is par ticularly pleasant to reai in the columns of the New York Sun this glowing tribute to Mir. Thurman. How pregnant with confdence,good humor, pure Democracy and sound sense every word the old Roman ut tered It is the more delightful because these words of pure Democ- racy and sound sense were directed against the tariff system which the Sun most strenuously defends.
 Of the Presidents $10,O00 contri- button to the campaign fund, the Detroit Free Press says: Instead of assessing the past office clerks and cats for campaign expenses, the President and his cabinet prefer to make liberal campaign contribu' tions from their own pockets. This is not in accordance with the time honored custom, but it will be gen erally regarded as an improvement on the old method.
 Of trusts and the tariff the New York World remarks The whisky trust is the least obnoxious of the whole ring. It dare not put the price too high for fear of cutting down the consumption. Drinkers would take another tipple if whis- ky is too costly, but there is no sub stitute for sugar, salt, oil, clothing and other articles enhanced in price by the tariff and trusts. The higher the price of whisky the less will be the consumption. The whisky trust will do no great harm and may do much good.

Nine Southern States are now producing annually 10 per cent more pig iron than the average an nual production of the whole Uni ted States between the years 1851 and 1860 when we were enjoying the nearest approach to free trade we ever had in this country. Thus it is tha; protection is stunting our deyelopment.-Gazette.

An eminent German sanitary ex- pert says that chemists have suc- ceeded in making a frst-rate brandy out of sawdust. A man can there fore, get ripsaw and go out and get drunk as q lord on a fence rail. A man can make brandy smashes out of the shingles of his roof; he can get delirium tremens by drink ing the legs of his kitchen chairs. You may shut an inebriate out of a gin shop and keep him away from a tavern, but if lie can become up- roarious on boiled sawdust al.d de sicated window sills, any attempt at refrom must necessarily be a failure. -Ex

There Is wonderful brown and golden bird in Mexico, species of the bee martin, that is a remarka- bly, expert bee catcher.

When a bee comes along to sip honey from this delusive blossom it is snapped up and de- voured.

 A good many of our territorial exchanges are so inconsiderate as to publish as wit the stupid rot manufactured by an Eastern paper and purporting to emanate from the Arizona Kicker" an imaginary publication. These brilliant pro- ductions are supposed to picture life in Arizona, which has already been so misrepresented as to give Easte,npeople false and evil opin- ion of the Territory. Our ootem- poraries reproduce this trash with the belief, doubtless, that it's falsity is so obvious that no person of or dinary intelligence could be beguil- ed by it. But they forget, how cred ulous are majority of Eastern peo- pie in regard to any thing pertain ing to the West, and it IS high time that the publication, by the press, of this rubbish about Arizona, for the pnlpose of amusing persons af- T 1.
