A Good Name

At home is tower Of strength abroad-says the
familiar proverb, and it is fully verified by the
history of Hoods Sarsaparla. The first words
of commentator and praise for this medicine
were received from our friends and neighbors, and
from the time it was fairly introduced up to the
present, there has been, and is now, more OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla sold in Lowell, Mass, where
ii is made, than of all other sarsaparas and blood
purifiers combined. This "good name' among
people who have known Hoods Sarsaparilla and
its propretors for years should certainly be strong
evidence to people in other cities and towns OF
the excellence and merit of their medicine.
"After the failure of three skillful physicians to
parilla and Olive Ointment / have nowused four
boxes of Ointment and one and half bottles of
Sarsaparilla, and the boy is to all appearances
completely cured. He is now four years old. and
has been afflicted since he was six months of age"

Tho Blizzard's Work In Texas.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 17.-Reports from diff
tcront sections of Texas note a cessation
Of the blizzard, but the temperature o
tinues very cold for that latitude. The
weather has been the most severe known
for years and in many places it has been
unprecedented both in respect to the low
thermometer and snow and sleet. Several
deaths by freezing are reported. Many
different points send in reports of most
unprecedented snow and cold. Advices
from a great many cattle ranges are
meagre, but it is feared that the loss of
cattle and sheep will be great.
News from every part of Northern
Texas reports unheard suffering among
the people and wholesale destruction
among cattle, many OF which were frozen
to death under good shelter. The effects
OF this weather will cripple the cattle in
terest in this part of the state for some
time, and its effects upon the growing
cereals and hattering prospects of fruit
for this year will prove almost annihila-
ton,

Carlisle,s Condition.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I7.-At 9 O'Clock
to night DR.. Sewers said that Carlisle was
resting quietly and on the whole was con-
siderably better than he was this morn
ing. He had, however, another chill
during the afternoon, to which the doctor
seemed to attach but little importance.
The chills, he said, were caused by intes-
final disturbances which were primarily
the result of overwork and d~isordered d.
gestiou. The question was asked: rs
he dangerously or even seriously ILL.," II
do not regard him as such" was the re-
ply. He is quite weak and as | said from
over anxiety and it may be some time be-
fore he is able to be about, but he sits
up in his bed, has never for a moment
lost consciousness and has had several
hours OF refreshing sleep, and I think
without a violent recurrence of the
chills. he will get along without any SER
ious trouble. On the whole, he is certain
ly improving"

Colorado Let Off Lightly.

DENVER, Jan. 1.-THE billiards, ac-
c%ompanied by a very light snow, which
struck this section Friday and ragged for a
couple of days only, has passed away
without causing any serious damage. So
far no reports have been received from
any portion of Colorado or New Mexico
where persons or stock suffered from cold
or want of provisions. Reports from
various parts of the state show that the
thermometer on Saturday and Monday
registered from 10 to So below, yesterday
and to-day from Is to 30 above. As the
range country has an abundant supply of
grass and water, and is covered by little or
no snow, the loss to stock will be no
greater than usual unless sevcrer storms
occur later this season. kilograms from
Santa Fe, n. NJ, show the same condi-
ton of affairs in that territory as exists in
Colorado.

Another Rraak in Oil

PITIsBURG, Jan. 17.-There was an
other break in oil to-day and great excite

ported. The market opened at GOT and
advanced to 90b, then it broke under
heavy selling to S4f. A reaction then set
in and at | o'clock prices were frmer at
$50.
New York, Jan. 1.-THE oil market
was panicky again to-day. After a steady
and calm opening nearly an hour passed
without a cloud in the speculation sky.
Then dealers OF the consolidated exchange
were suddenly surprised by an outbreak.
Within a few minutes the price of pipe
line certificates dropped from 9Of to s6f
cents. At II o'clock the widest excite

ARCHER, Wyo., Jan. l7.-Six long

road from the fact that at certain dis
tances | found stones marked &c. R."
County road), placed there, | suppose, by
the proper authorities. At the county
clerks Office | found a petition. viewers
report and recommendation and survey
or's notes of a road running from Chey-
me to Pine Bluffs, here connecting with
a road through Nebraska, Besides this,
the road was declared" and properly
marked on the official map of Laramie
county. Not being IN the habit OF run
ming after important ~personages for infor-
nation if it can be otherwise obtained, as
in this case, by reference to official rec
ords, | became one of the signers for the
removal of distractions from this road.
By some mishap | stumbled upon a
party interested in the matter, who, by
language more profane and abusive than
logical. told me that there Was no road
from Archer to Atkins. a distance of five
miles. He read me the riot act for my
presuming TO place confidence in official
records, though | have since had good rca-
SON to doubt much Of official reports in
regard to raising crops, rainfall, etc. A
house, now used for a store and post Of
flee was built upon the strength that
official records amounted to something.
That this is a legal highway, though nei-
Their judiciously nor economically LAID out,
to my mind is clear.
Though still holding to my opinion,
where a petition was circulated and signed
to have the road relocated near it former
place, | withheld my opposition. Here
the thing seems to take q prolonged rest.
We are anxious to have the road settled,
for the reason that parties may want
to add some buildings to the nine already
erected at and around Archer.
Another reason is that a large number
of settlers are expected mex spring, and
we don't like to inform them that the
only way to get here is by going around or
taking an aerial trip. And while the
latchstring of Wyoming is said to be
hanging low, it would not be amiss to un-
lock the front gate. A. G. GROH.

Stocks and Cattle Markets.

New YoRK, Jan. 1.-THE dullness in
the stock market became unbearable to
some few tired holders of stocks to-day
and there was a selling movement which
was taken advantage of by room traders
to hammer stocks. Their efforts centered
in Missouri Pacific, which at the time
yielded readily, but the effect upon the
general list was very slight. The active
list rallied later in the day on very light
purchases and Union Pacific, which had
been sold on the story that Vice President
Potter would resign, recovered its loss
with something in addition. Most every
thing is lower and Missouri Pacific is
down | per cent. but losses in the rost of
the list are confined to fractions only,
while Oregon Improvement is up 3 per
cent.
Governments dull and steady. Mining
shares dull. Money 3494 per cent.
Copper Market steady. Lake, $l5.95.
The petroleum market was strong, open
Ing at 90 and soon advanced to 90s, but
the news of the failure of Il leading bull
furnished an additional margin and the
heavy selling by Western operators started
a downward movement in which all local
operators Joined and the price rapidly fell
to S5f During the decline the sales were
very large and the total transactions of the
day are the largest for several years.
When the price touched S5f the decline
was checked and supporting orders caused
a rally, on which the market closed firm
at S65. Sales, 1868, 900 barrels.

He LIVED TOO HIGH.
Charles E. Young Furnishes a
Sensation for Detroit
By Becoming a Defaulter for
Over $4,000.
BlOoded Horses and General
High Living the Cause.
Arrested for Embezzlement.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. IA sensa-
ton In business circles was caused this
afternoon when it became known that
Charles II. Young, for many years the
confidential bOokkeeper of the Michigan
Carbon works, but more recently secre-
tary and treasurer of the concern, had
been arrested, charged with embezzle-
ment. Young has for years past reveled
III the possession of n blooded horse, II
nobby turnou and a colored ~coachman,
on a salary of 81 800, but as his father
was known TO be wealthy it excited no
special attention. Last September Young
was promoted to the position Of secretary
and treasurer, and not long afterwards a
decrease in the dividends to the stock
holders caused complaints. This d~issatis-
faction led to an investigation. 1t was
ascertaIned then that somebody high in
office had been pooketing money belong
ing to the company for the last two or
three years.
President Jarves has been active in his
search for the guilty party, and at a
meeting of the board of directors held a
few days ago he informed his conferees
that Young was the culprit. He said
that Young, even as confidential book
keeper, had handled money for the pur-
chase of bones, and had credited bone
peddlers with many more pounds of
bones than they had supplied, and that
he had pocketed the difference between
the truth and falsity.
This explanation was accepted and ac-
cordingly Young was locked up last
night. He was not shut up in the ordi-
nary quarters at the jail, but was placed
in a room of the sheriff S residence.
There is an air OF mystery about the
affair, and when a reporter sought an in
teryiew at the Jail this afternoon he was
told that negotiations were under way to
settle the affair and that he could not see
the prisoner. President Jarvis, aftercon-
sulting with his attorney, stated this after
noon that as near as could be ascertained
the defalcation amounted to $50, 600 and
had extended over a period of three years,
being accomplished in a very clever way
and so as to avoid suspicion most efFectu-
ally. The action is one of trespass and
for embezzlement, and Young is held in
$4,000 bail, which he has not yet given.

1t is, perhaps, known to very few
people that there is regular Japanese
bank in the city with every facility for
the transaction of a banking business,
the sale of bills of exchange, and let
tiers Of credit, the purchase of specie,
etc. But such is the case. The gen
tlemen connected with the bank are all
natives Of Japan and men of intelli-
gence and refined, with that courteous
bearing so noticeable in the higher class
of the people of China and Japan. They
are highly educated and several of them
speak English tluently. They have also
adopted the dress and habits Of cult
waited Americans.
The bank, which is a branch of a
large banking institution in Japan, is
mainly supported by transactions with
Japanese merchants engaged in the inn

part of the suit of rooms occupied by
the Japanese consul, and that gentle
man himself exercises supervision over
its affairs to see that everything is con

First Gentleman of Europe"
I(Nhir.nr-r rrsrrnnc- ]


George " is still frequently men
toned as the first gentleman of Eu-
rope" but it is now pretty generally
understood that he was never at any
time in his career a gentleman. A re-
cent volume of memoirs describes this
royal cur as beastly parsonage. The
last year of his life is thus pictured:
For years the king, unnerved by ex-
cesses of all kinds, suffered from vari-
Gus maladies, govt, dropsy, asthma,
Justification of the heart, general
debility, and frequent swooning fits.
He could no longer walk alone. A
special machine was devised to enable
him to mount horse. A rolling chair
brought his majesty up gently rising
incline to a platform. From it the
enormously-swollen colossus, with the
thin, emaciated legs-which, 80 it was
said, were bolstered up and stiffened by
six pairs of stockings and high-lacing
boots-was lifted up by crane, softly
lowered into the saddle, and now the
ride down the front could begin.
The nervous system of the king had
become SO weakened that he drank
brandy or rum without ceasing, often
eleven large glasses a day, besides
strong whisky punch, just to keep him
self alive. In January, 1880, Christian
Stockmar brought us the news that the
king had lost the sight of both eyes,
and was furthermore, perpetually
drunk, so as to be invisible to every
bOdy.n
