Lightning Hit the Bible.

In describing the descent of Jove's
bolts on the place of J. II. Bieling, neal
Bonanza, the Rustler says: There are a few
small pine trees near the house, the larg-
est one OF which was struck by lightning,
when a ball Of fire seemed to dance be-
fore the window. The lightning went
from the tree to the roof of the house,
ripped up the shingles and descended the
wall of the front room, where it tore q
clock to pieces and ruined the family bi.

the floor burning a large hole. BielinQ

The digging of Frank W. Isham's acre
of potatoes entered for the American AZ
~riculturist prize of $500 was completed
Saturday afternoon. While the yield was
phenomenally large it was less than had
been anticipated. The exact figures are
434 bushels and l6 pounds. This is 124
bushels better than the best Colorado
acre. Nebraska is Wyoming's most for.
midable rival in this competition as the
Eastern potato crop this year was almost
a total failure.
Mr.. Isham has demonstrated chat Wyo-
ming generally and the Horse creek region
in particular will produce potatoes that
cannot be beaten. A fine specimen from
the prize acre is on exhibition at this
office.

There is one other thing that ought
to be made a penal offense, with a
minimum fine of at least 5000, with
imprisonment of not less than six
months. 1t is that of doubling the
statements of a man who has been
a-fishing. Fish have been caught
ever since hooks were invented. The
fish were made to be caught. They
rather expect it 1t is no trick at all
to catch fish. And yet as Jones re-
turns from his vacation he is stopped
and asked:
Been awayG" Eyes"
up north7' eyes"
Went fishing, I supposed" "of
course"
Catch anything2" Certainly"
"H'ml Caught some four Founders,
1 presumed!
Yes; 1 caught GIG which weighed
ave pounds"
"H'ml Goodbye
Jones not only caught one weigh
ing seven pounds, but a number
which weighed five and six pounds
apiece, but he dared not speak of it.
Even with what he did say he felt
that the other man believed him to be
a liar. AS he walked on he felt be-
Titled and degraded, and he made up
his mind to tell a bold lie on the next
occasion and declare that he did not
even see a fish while he was gone.
Something should be done in this mat
ter, and it cannot be done too soon.
A man should be protected in telling
the truth as well as in life and limb

A SNEAK.
James Kelley Steals an Overcoat and
Makes n Rnn.

The Jim Kelley now in the city Jail fit:
the expressive description. "a dead tough
mug" He is an understood individual
whose homely face must pain him. Some
barber apprentice cut Jim's hair shorter
than nature allows and there are bald
spots varying in size from a two-bit piece
to a matured dollar on his ilIy-shaped
head.
Jim is an odd genius who ATTEMPTED to
apply the aphorism that the Lord helps
those who helps themselves to his own
case.
He stole an overcoat from a room at
the Western hotel yesterday forenoon.
The owner of the garment met Jimmy on
the stairs with the purloined property
hanging on his arm. He sought to recover
the coat by violence and Kelley fed with
the booty. They ran at a hot pace clear
to Hurd's lumber yard on the Cheyenne
& Northern. jim took refuge in a box
car which was promptly sealed by Mr..
Hurd and the coat owner. An officer
was called by telephone and the sprinter
taken to the city jail.
Kelley was arraigned before Justice
Carroll in the afternoon and had the as
surance to enter a plea of not guilty. The
trial will come on to day.

Lovely tints in the wrong place are reft
of their charms. A lemon colored coun-
tenance-the peculiar endowment of our
pig-tailed brethren who hit the pipe
is u~nbecoming. 1t suggests bile going
astray, and the inference is correct.
Pain beneath their ribs and shoulder
blades, constipation, dyspepsia, furred
tongue and sick headaches supplement
this indication of the bilious. For liver
complaint and its multifarious symptoms,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is an infali-
BILE specific. 1t relaxes the bowels sufi-
GENTLY, but without gripping or violence.

pulse, but banishes an excess of that SAT-
from colored principle from the blood.
Sick headaches, sourness of the breath
and fur upon the tongue disappear when
1t is used. 1t renews digestion, f%ortiies
the system against malaria, counteracts a
rheumatic tendency, and remedies mac

SELMA, Ala, August 19.-The
Weekly Independent, a paper owned
and edited by negroes, in its last issue
contained an editorial abusing the
whites, saying: "If you mossback
crackers would leave this Southland
/ in twenty years it would be one of the
grandest sections Of the globe. You
have had your day and we will have
ours. You have had your revolutiona-
ry and civil wars, and we here predict
that at no very distant day we will
have our race war, and we hope, as
God intends, that we will be strong
enough to wipe you out of existence
and hardly leave enough of you to tell
the story.".
This publication created intense ex-
element and Rev. Edward Bryant,
the editor of the paper, would have
been lynched if he could have been
found. He is in hiding and it is said
has forty negroes armed with Win
chester rifles with him who have
sworn to protect him. &.
The cool-headed whites are counsel
ing and meditating, but trouble is ex-
pected unless Bryant leaves Selma for
good. The white Republican League
lof Birmingham, at meeting to-day,
adopted resolutions severely condemn
ing the utterances of Bryant. A mem
ber of the G. A. r. post here said to
me that If race war occurred the g.
A. r. men would be found side by
| side with Confederate veterans.

The Shooting of COnyicts.

1t seems to be the rule at the South
| Carolina penitentiary to shoot a con-
vict when he attemps to escape. 1t is
not clear to us that the Superintendent
of the penitentiary has any show OF
law, human or divine, to warrant him
in having escaping convicts shot.
When prisoners are. sent forth from the
walls they should either be manacled
or guarded in such a manner as to pre-
vent even the attempt to escape:
When one has the opportunity to get
away and does start, a guard has no
sort of right to kill him. His duties
are similar to those of q constable who
has prisoner arrested. The killing OF
q prisoner; or convict under such cir
cumstances is nothing but murder

There are rumors that the Louisiana
Lottery scheme is to be suppressed.
It is high time. The business has
been disgrace to the State and curse
to the country for many years. In
stead of dying out it has grown to
enormous proportions. A few years
ago the company published only 100,-
900 copies of the lists of monthly
drawings, now ], 600, 600 copies are pub
lished.. If any imagine that the vic.
TINS Of this institution are confined to
Louisiana they are mistaken. There
Is scarcely village in the land from
which money does not pour into it.

that there was peculiar virtue In a
pillow made from pine straw, and hay
ing none of that material on hand,
made one from fine, soft pine shavings,
and had the pleasure of noting imme-
diate benefit. Soon all the members
of the household had pine shavings

coughs, asthmatic or bronchial, ahated
at once after sleeping q few nights on
these pillows. An invalid, suffering

ST.. LOUIS, August 26.-The Post
Dispatch prints another chapter of its
army expose, secured through
the medium of reporter who enlisted
to obtain the inner workings of army
life. It shows terrible state of affairs
at Jefferson Barracks, alleging that
recruits are treated like dogs; that
men are strung up by their wrists un-
til they swoon from weakness +; that
sergeants deem no cruelty too severe
relates how an insane man was heart
lessly tortured, while common soldiers
are Imprisoned at the whim of their
superiors, 1t is also charged in the
expose that in the guard house, where
prisoners are packed into an Enclosure
20 by 40, the sanitary condition is ter
rible. There are no provisions for the
ordinary calls of nature, and the place
becomes a breeder of pestilence. The
prisoners are kept from sleep by yer:
min, and their surroundings are all
revolving in the extreme.

Ralso good for the same purpose, and
may be mixed with the bones to ad-
vantage. Therefore don't waste any
bones or shells, but utilize them in the
manner suggested If you plant any
vines. In case you have grape-vines
growing bury the bones near them, or
reduce the bones to ashes and apply
the latter to the vines or the vegetable
garden. It will pay good dividends
better than ordinary bank or railroad
