The Apaehes Murder Two Mexicanc and Have
 One of Their Number Scalped.
 A letter from the Custom house details the murder of two Mexicans who were coming up from Sonora last Saturday, with a load of mescal. They were at tackled near the southeast end of the San Jose mountains by a small band of Apaches, both killed, their two horses stoten and the mescal destroyed. One of the braves, however, became so full of the fiery beverage that he was unable to go with his companions when they started for spring Tn the mountains. A short time after the enactment of the tragedy a Mexican herder, of the Elias ranch, rode up to the spot, and seeing his murdered Coun. r, men and drunken Indian dismounted. and although pos sessing no arms except an ordinary sheath knife, he with this cut the In dian't throat and scaIped him. He had barely finished when he was fired on by one of. the Apaches, who had evidently returned for his drunken companion. The herder rode as rapidly as possible to the Custom house and gave the alarm. The guards or Mexican soldiers i'm mediately went to the spot, but the In- dians shad gone in the mountains and have not since been seen or heard of. Col. Forsyth who was in from Ft. Hua- chuca last Thursday says that he saw the scalp and that there is no question but it was that of an Apache. The herder should have medal and pension.

 MT. Cosner admits the authorship ot the West letter to-day, but does not admlt writing letters to Fisk and Tnpper, although he had a hand i'll their composition. He says that he knew when he received the letter from West that it's pub 1ieation would make a sensation, but he had no idea 1t would result SC disastriousIy to that gentleman's diplomatic career, and he regrets now that he helped to get West in, to such a seraPe. There has been no end of laughter here during the past week over the reports that Blaine, Elkins and other big men had something to do with the an thorship of the Murchison letter.

 Presently fresh gust of wlnd shakes up the creaking signs again and their renewed vigor turns out thoughts in new direction.

Money to Loan and Farms to Rent

Money to Loan and Farms to Rent.
 We have been travelling through most of the Western States recently, with our eyes and ears wide open to see what was Was to be seen and hear what was to be heard. Jn every town, great and small, are to be seen these two signs;
 "Money to Loan.
 "Farms to Rent"
 They are hnng up in the windows of banks; at the entrances of law of fees, over the doors of insurance ,mpanles; and on the bulletin boards of real estate dealers. ="Money 10 Loan ana Farms to Rent"
 There is sort of strange and awful faselGatlon to the words, a good deal as there is to those ot some silyertongued preacher who talks about "Death and Damna- tion."
 The words have wierd jingle to them, like the "clemor and the cladgor" of Poe's iron throated bells.
 "Money to Loan and "Farms to Rent
 We had occasion to W waita whole hour for belated train, along in the small hours of the night, in Il little town In Mlssoari.

Ing heated argument with his Democratic cousins and an Irish man last August on CleveIand's at tltude toward Great Britian. the thought suggested itself to him to write to Sir Charles Tupper, and get hIs private opinion concornino 5CieVeland's attitude on the fishery question. He talked with two Re- publican lr1shmen and former Dem ocrats, F. G, HaIy and Patrick C. Tanner, both lawyers, on the sub- Jeet, and they suggested that if an opinion favorable to Cleveland could be obtained from Tupper, and also from Minister West. and could be spread abroad at the prop CT time in the campaign It would be another Morey letter sensation and be of inestimable benefit to Harrison.
 Acting upon this suggestion Cosner made rough sketch of let ters calculated to draw Tupper and West into giving opinions fayora- ble to Cleyeland's administration. and especially in relation to retalia- ton to Canadian interests. There was secret meeting of Cosner, Tan. ner and Haly in the office of the Pomona Progress, where all made suggestions as to alterations in the letter The letter when revised and rewritten, read very smoothly Another Republican, w 4. Bell, who was called into council, Suo- gested that letter tc Joseph Chamberlain night have some eff feet in ,rawng an opinion from him, and also one to Gen. Fisk, the Prohi5itloniat candidate, might in ducc hIm to advise the Prohibition lsts in doubtful States, like Cell forna, to cast their votes tor Har- rison in order to smash Cleveland's party.
 Then another day was spent in writing more letters. and the.,, when all We're carefully revised and rewritten, they were dropped into the Pomona Post Office on the night of September 1 The namo of Chas. r. Murchison was signed to the letter to Wet, because that Is the name of English relatives of C0sner. The name of George o. Watson was signed to the letter te Tupper, and Edmund Mandeyill4 to GhamberIam,s letter.
 On September 20, one of the men in the secret called at the post of. flee and got the West letter. 1t WAS carried at once 10 Cosner's Of flee where, with locked doors, il was read b Tanner and Haley with glee Mr. CosneY says he coaId scarcely believe at first Chat " est Tad really fallen so completely ip- to tae trap sci for him.

The BuN Dogs Disposition.

The bull dog is much more easy to
train and control than is generally sup
posed. l am convinced that he possesses
quite as much brain power as any of the
larger dogs. His appearance is very
much against his character for gentle
ness and this has caused people to shun
and avoid him, so that his disposition,
however pleasant it may have been orig
inally, has been made cross and savage
by the treatment which he has received,
though he is even now much less feroclous
than he is believed to be. No dog is ca
pable of greater affection than he, or
shows more gratitude for any kindness.
Pure high bred dogs Of any kind are hard
to train, for the reason that they are too
high spirited. The mongrels Of the street
can be much more easily trained. because
they can be much more easily controlled.

Chicago Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Trifing influences
affected the wheat market, which ruled
dull and the feeling was somewhat I'M
settled. The opening was firm and prices
2S@56c higher, due to local buying and
some bull talk about large purchasers
consolidating their purchases. But after
several fluctuations within &c range the
market became weak and prices declined
11sc under rather free speculative offerings
There was no short interest that showed
any uneasiness and operators were evil
IDENTIFY all more or less long and the weak
ness brought out this wheat. At the
decline the market ruled steady and the
closing was about &c lower than yester-
day. The receipts at Minneapolis and
Duluth were only moderate, and not as
large as expected.
Corn ruled quiet and inactive most of
the session, fluctuations being limited to
go range.and trading to great extent was
local. The feeling was easy, the large re-
ceipts both present and prospective to-
gether with cooler weather had tendency
TO increase offerings. A large local oper-
ator and several local houses sold freely,
especially of May, but at &c a good de-
mand existed and the market ruled steady
nj ludb uBuTts
The surroundings of the oats market
were brisk but nevertheless the market for
May was fairly active and after an early
decline of &c all the offerings at inside fig
ures were readily absorbed by shorts and
the market remained steady the rest of the
session. The near futures were neglected
and 1s@14c lower.
Early trading was fairly active in mess
pork. The feeling was somewhat I'M
settled and prices fiuctuated considerably
within a small range. Local operators
sold fair quantities and there was some
realizings by outside longs, while shorts
purchased sufficient quantities to check
any material decline in prices early in the
day. During the latter part of the session
the market weakened and reduction of

Quite a good speculation was reported
in lard early and the feeling was firmer
and prices higher, especially for the near

and prices declined l2Y a l5c, and the

A Duel with Paint Bru,b.s.

One of the oommonest ordeals to which
novices were subjected in the painters
studios in Paris was the paint brush duel.
The two latest arrivals were stripped to
the waist and perched on very high stools
face to face at arms length. They were
then armed with big brushes filed with
color, one with Prussian blue and the
other with crimson lake, and the duel
began. Perfect strangers to each other,
and having no insults to avenge, the
combatants went very gingerly to work
at the outset, anxious to keep their bal
ance and avoid being daubed with paint.
But, stimulated by the shouts of specta-
tors, they gradually warmed to their
work. A first blow was struck and re-
turned; wavering. staggering and writh-
ing, the opponents, with their bodies all
splashed with paint, broke their brushes
and rolled on the floor, where they ex-
changed their blue and red sores in
hand to hand fight, which ended In the
duelists fraternally soaping and washing
each others wounds. Morau- Nauthier. 4
