Near Keokuk while number OF
men were engaged in excavatiug rock
John Peterson was killed by discharge
OF blast. Preparations had been
made for two blasts, and thoy were
touched Oft. Only one report was the
result. Peterson returned for the pur-
pose OF rclighting the fuse, when the
explosion occurred, causing his instant
death. The unfortunate man was
about twenty-throe years Old. unmar-

A man representing himself to be q
iarmor residing near Oakland, was In
Avoca fow days ago looking for corn
huskcrs. He found II young German
and employed him. The two went TO
Oakland on the evening train and
started on foot toward the alleged home
Of the farmer. When about half way
to the pretended farmers homo the
two men wero met by villain who
pointed two revolvers at them, and do
manded their money or their brains.
or course they quickly emptied every
pocket, and yielded up everything re-
qucsted. The victim had u good watch,
about $ll in money, and n deposit cer-
tifcato on the Avoca bank for $25,
which he had taken the precaution to
deposit subject to his order. He at
once telegraphed tho bank and that
amount will be secure. II is supposed
that the "honest farmer" was II opal, "

from Avoca where he had learned all
che particulars.

were the cities of the western plains
converted into manufacturing centres
How has Wichita, for instance, whose
only supply of raw material consists of
corn-stalks, become a city of mana

And why cannot we become a manu-

west OF the Mississippi that holds out
greater inducements FOR the establish

see some one deny this statement who
1s credulous on this point, so that may
nave an opportunity Of again sub

II we want manufactures we must do
something more than contribute $50 so
10 an advertising bureau. Why does
not our Chamber raise $4,000 by con-
trlbutlOn wherewith to buy a manu-
featuring site? That would be good in

to come. down to low ground, and on the morning of the fourth day he opened his door to get some wood, but was brought up at close range by low growl. Upon looking up he saw four bears within twenty feet of his cabin. They were great big fellows, and MT. Schiles made up his mind to have one. He got his rifle, but the bears seemed to divine his mo- tive and got out of range. The intense cold prevented him from following, and after lay ing in enough wood to last two or three days and filling his water barrel he went back into the house and remained there nntil the cold had passed.
 During the day the bears returned, and deer and two antelope, the first he had seen in a year, moved down into the miniature valley in which his shack stands. That night the weather was so cold that MT. Schiles was afraid to go to sleep, and kept a roaring fire in the stove all night. The night was made hideous, he says, by the coyotes and bears. The animals pressed close against the the house, and he could hear them fighting for places, particularly near the two windows from which the light emanated. Once or twice one of the animals, probably bear, would dash against the house as if to break it in, and the deer were heard uttering plain tive cries during the night. At o'clock Mir. Schiles drew his spirit thermometer in from the roof by way of the chimney-hole and found the thermometer still at ifty-eight de- grees below, the same as it had been twelve hours before. He thinks it was great deal colder and that the chemicals had been fro- zen. The night was terribly long one and at seven o'clock in the morning, when MT. Sehiles aWoke from short nap. the animals had moved away and the weather moderated considerably, the mercury showing only eighteen points below zero.
 On opening tine door of his house, which he did cautiously, he saw two bears, 8 deer and coyote lying on the ground. The deer and coyote had been killed during the night by the bears, but the two bears had no marks and had evidently frozen to death, as their bodies were rigid.

AN IMPRESSIVE LESSON


 A persistent effort has been made to show that the Mills bill had nothing to do with the failure of William T. Coleman & Co.,, notwithstanding the assertion of MT. Cole man and of the managing partner of the firm that it had. The San Francisco Bulle- tin resents this effort. f'The borax proper ties in this State had been paying splendid ly," it says "The men employed were get
 ting the full wages which are gained in all parts of California. The owners had no cause to regret their investment. Foreign
 borax, under the existing tariff, is taxed three cents per pound. There is no scarcity of it in the outside world. The threatened removal of the duty rendered the California property unstable just at the time when MT. Coleman began to think that it would be wise to realize In this most deplorable commercial incident we have, perhaps, the first instance in the United States of what is to be expected from Democratic fiscal poli- cy."
 The Bulletin goes on to show what other harm for California there may be in the Mills bill. And it's showing is an impressive one. It prints partial list of nearly thirty Cali fornia products, now protected, which would be transferred to the free list-wool grains, oranges, lemons, figs, prunes, olive oil, salt. timber, lead, copper, quicksilver, etc. It calls attention to the fact that whereas Re- publican California's lead (which under pro- lection pays a large part of the working ex- penses of her silver mines) is thus attacked, | Democratic Missouri's zinc and doubtful | New Jerseys nickel receive very different | and much tenderer treatment. It says ! The sweeping character of the Democratic raid upon our industries becomes apparent | The varied resources of California make us shining mark. A victorious army of 100000
 men marching up the San Joaquin, ravagine and destroying our orchards, orange groves and wheat field, blowing up mining proper
 ties on the distant flank, ,pillaging and devas-
 tating, could not cause wider ruin than that which is so quietly ordained in the Mills I bill.
 Free trade isn't good thing for California, | and enough of the Californians know it to make it warm for the party which is headed ! toward it. The Coleman failure and the | chief reason for it will not be forgotten in California this year.
