A NEW SYSTEM.
How a Desperate Cowboy Beat a
Monte Game.
The Efficiency of the Six Shooter
as a Peace Preserver.
One of the Boldest Robberies Ever
Committed.

T. d. Perrine, the e%nterprising Wyom-
ing agent for the Chicago and Omaha
cattle commission houses of Savage &
Green, returned from the north last even
ing. At Casper he loaded twenty-eight
cars of cattle for John Tinnen, and wit
messed one of the funniest serio-comic in
cidents ever occurring in the West.
The Casper saloon is about the only
public place in the embryotic metropolis,
and for this as well as other apparent
reasons, is much frequented by residents
and visitors. On the occasion Of MI.
Perrine's call Jessie James, an ex-Chey-
enne sport, was dealing monte for all
corners at a table Just across the room
from the bar. Monte, be it understood,
is a Spanish banking game somewhat diff
icult to master. and always dealC with the
roll. " or bankers capital, on top of the
table. The money is invariably in gold
and silver, the coins being used in lieu of
checks.
Mr.. Perrine was gazing about the room
WIFI HIS DdCh ~ lnC Ddl nuCu - IJplCdl
cowboy, somewhat under the influence of
the ardent, entered and approached the
monte table, where he soon lost a few
dollars. The "puncher'' was doubtless
in that financial condition frequently
designated as the ragged edge of bank
ruptcy, for when his coins had found a
place in the stacks of the dealers he Of
fered to wager his six-shooter, the most
valuable and doubtless the most valued
article among his assets. James, who is
a sort of a graveyard humorist, replied
that he had enough guns in stock to
plant a ten acre patch, and paid no more
attention to the caller.
The cowboy meditated for a moment as
he earessed the weapon, and seemed to be
to James or depart in peace. An idea
must have struck him with tremendous
force, for he leveled the revolver at the
dealer and players, and advising all to
remain seated, commenced to help him
self from the pile of silver on the table.
handful after handful of the coins disap-
peared into lis pockets as James mildly
objected to the new system" and the
players looked on in open, mouthed aston
ishment.
The visitor finally reached what he
probably considered a respectable limit.
and walked out the door, smiling upon
Perrine and the bartender, both of whom
were struck by the righteousness of the
situation, and could not have refrained
from laughing under any circumstances.
James and his friends pursued the des-
perate thief for two days. but the bold
robber made good his escape with some

A young man called to this city as a
witness in a certain case yesterday stated
in police court that he would remain in
Jail rather than return to the ranch of the
man by whom he had previously been
employed. The witness was released on
his own recognizance, and reiterated the
statement that although in the employ of
the ranchman for seventeen months he
would go to Jail il preference to returning
to his old Job, which was still open to
him.

when sunstroke Is Prevalent.

We generally find that when sunstroke
is prevalent the atmospheric conditions
are of a certain and definite character.
These are found not only in an elevated
temperature, but a great degree of hu-
Nudity or moisture of the air. AS long as
we nave dry air the degree of heat that
we can endure without much discomfort
is very considerable compared to that
when the air is full of moisture. The ex-
PLANTATION of this is simply due to the fact
that evaporation and loss of heat from
the skin and lungs is markedly interfered
with, the already moist air being unable
to take up and relieve us of the usual
amount of moisture. This, coupled with
the increased heat, is placing US in a po-
sition where our internal production is
very apt to be decidedly increased. The
only way we have of compensating under
these conditions is by lessening exertion,
light or modified diet and light clothing.
These, coupled with the ever present in
fuence from the neat center, under nor
NAL conditions, will usually protect u.s.

GENERALIZATION OF FRUITS.
The Method as Explained to CALIFORNIA;
Board of Horticulture.

Board of Horticulture.
The process of preserving fruits in q
crystallized or glazed form is attracting
considerable attention at the present time.
This process, though comparatively new
in California, has been extensively ope-
rated in Southwestern France for years,
the United States having been heavy i'm
porters, paying fancy prices for the pro-
duct. The process is quite simple. The
theory is to extract the juice from the
fruit and replace it with sugar syrup,
which, upon hardening, preserves the
fruit from decay and at the same time
retains the natural shape of the fruit.
All kinds of fruit are capable of being
preserved under this process, Though
the method is very simple, there is a GER
tain skill required that is only acquired
by practice. The several successive steps
in the process are about as follows: First,
the same care in selecting and grading
the fruit should be taken as for canning;
that is, the fruit should be all of one size
and as near the same ripeness as possible.
The exact degree of ripeness is of great
Importance, which is at that stage when
fruit is best for canning. Peaches, pears,
ETC., are pared and cut in halves as for
canning; plums, cherries, etc., are pitted.
The fruit having thus been carefully
prepared is then put in a basket or bucket
with a perforated bottom and immersed
in boiling water. The object of this is to
dilute and extract the juice of the fruit.
The length of time the fruit is immersed
is the most important part of the process.
If left too long it is overlooked and be-
comes soft; if not immersed long enough,
the juice is not sufficiently extracted,
which prevents a perfect absorption of
the sugar. After the fruit has been thus
scalded and allowed to cool, it can again
be assorted as to softness. The next step
is the sirup, which is made of white
sugar and water. The softer the fruit,
the heavier the strip required. Ordinar-
lily, about 70degs. Balling's saccharometer
is about the proper weight for the strip.
The fruit is then placed in earthen pans
and covered with strip, where it is left to
remain about a week. The sugar enters
the fruit and displaces what Juice re-
manned after the scalding process.
The fruit now requires careful watch
ing, as fermentation will soon take place,
and when this has reached q certain stage
the fruit and strip is heated to a boiling
degree, which checks the fermentation.
This heating process should be repeated
as often as necessary for about six weeks.
The fruit is then taken out of the strip
and washed in clean water, and is then
ready to be either glazed or crystallized,
as the operator may wish. If glazed, the
fruit is dipped in thick sugar strip and
left to harden quickly in open air. If it
Is to be crystallized, dip in the same kind
of strip, but is made to cool and harden
slowly, thus causing the sugar which
covers the fruit to crystalline. The fruit
is now ready for boxing and shipping.
Fruit thus prepared will keep in any
climate and stand transportation.-J. j.

Not an Agreeable TONIC.

A Chinaman dislikes to say that his
friend is dead, but will tell you that
This name has been added to the muster
roll of ghosts, or that "he has become one
of the ancients." He has returned to the
shades" che has taken farewell of the
world" che has gone a long journey"
are expressions all very frequently used
when speaking of the dead. The matter
is not always treated with reverence how
ever, for they will sometimes say: He
has swallowed his BREATH" or ''slipped
his skin" 1.-The mountain has col
lapsed" refers to a dead emperor, and
''the dream is over means that q prince
is dead.-Boston Budget.

Advance of Civilization.

Don Alphonso, brother of Don Carlos
of Spain, travelling as Don Juan de
Huelva, Count de Bourbon" is in Turke-
stan and is astonished at the progress
made there along the Transcaspian rail
way. At Merry, which five years ago was
a crowd of felt tents and mud huts, he
found brick houses and macadamized and
paved streets, and at the railway station
at Bokhara was a luxuriously fitted up
buffet with a young and pretty Russian
barmaid speaking French and German as
fuently as her native language. Twenty
years ago no Christian would have been
safe in Bokhara.-New York Sun.

Workmen have about completed the
erection of a large shop and office on the
capitol building grounds. The building
is a substantial structure, intended to
shelter the mechanics from the elements
this fall and winter. One apartment
will be neatly fitted up for an office.
Quite a lively scene is now presented to
the visitor at the capitol. A number of
carpenters are on the grounds, men and
teams are excavating and the steady
chiselling of the corps of stonemasons can
be heard quite a distance.

Than a wolf, whose character they exactly
parallel, inasmuch as when they come to

LOADED SHOTGUN SHELLS.
With Peters Patent Fasteningsf for Cartridges
Pattern Improved. Penetration Increased. .RecoH Diminished and
FouIng of Gun Chamber Prevented.
The Peters Cartridge Compan.

Has the sole control in the United States of the Peters Patents, both
as pertaining to Loading Machines and the lamentations for securing
the load in the shell. The machines are run by steam and are auto
matte throughout. The wads are of elastic wood felt, perfectly
fabricated. They are cut several sizes larger and compressed into
shell in the act of loading. The extra size and quality of the wads
hold back and develop the full strength of the charge, and render
especial Smith or Parker" loads unnecessary. Each machine has a
regular working capacity of sixty cartridges per minute, and may
even be run at a much greater speed and do good work. Having a
steady and powerful movement the wads are seated level, and with
proper pressure, while the charges are uniform. The fluctuations
for holding the load are made at the moment of greatest compression
The superiority of this method of fastening over the ordinary crimp
has been proven by searching tests. 1t has been found to improve
pattern, increase penetration and prevent fouling of shell chamber
and leading of shoulder. The recoil is greatly diminished. Indeed,
the method of fastening and the whole work of the machine produces
the very perfection of Shotgun Ammunition. The most Aattering
testimonials are coming in from all parts of the country. Amateur
and Professional Sportsmen are alike delighted. For sale by
