Almost FrRK.--A rs1mor prevailed
Tor several days to the effect that the
Franklin mines were on Gre. The
managers of the Oregon Improve
menf Company were seen yesterday
and they positively denied that such
vas fact 1t wss admitted, however.
that sections of the mines which had
been worked ont were becoming un-
comfortably hot. and that confisgra-
ton was liable TO ensue through the
fact that the air was allowed too free
access. The entry of the fresh air WAS
stopped up. by Manager Mcneil and
Superintendent Hill, and thus posi-
bic disaster was averfed.

the Pixies if the spleen be extracted
and the beauty preserved, there lies
a marvellous description of Paris
as she hailed the opening of
the greatest of her expositions
inRugurated without the trappings of
monarchy, but with far more Impress
lVenesS and enthusiasm than the
articles OF despotism were able to COM
mand from the imperial treasurer
and the cooperation of comprehensive
and compact diplomacy. The architec-
ture and municipal configuration of
Paris render it the easiest city in the
world to transform into q vast unified
picture, alive with color. Its great
avenues, colossal arches, its numerous
and massive bridges, spacious parks
and squares, majestic monuments and
pillars, clean thoroughfares, bracing
atmosphere, rejecting the sunlight on
the limestone, miles of white facades,
trees already burgeOnned, the winding
river, turned for time into a series of
lagoons like prismatic vistas rush as
one expects to see only in Venice,
amid the fine proportion of mass, to
detail IN the development of its
civic character, combine to enable
its artists to render scene
OF bewildering grandeur when the ma
tional and municipal governments unite
with the people in decking it for ma
tional fete. All that Carlyle wrote of
it in its gala dress of 1870 is true to-
day, but the truth is increased thous-
and fold.
The success of the undertaking in the
face of International GOODNESS or antag-
onism is, therefore, vindication Of
democracy of labor. Although the
monarchical governments have in
structed their representatives TO be
absent from the Inauguration and
have declined to make appropriations
for representation by exhibits the
classified nationality vastly exceeds in
scope all preceding exhibitions. The
countries represented by their skill, are
in addition to France and the United
States, Great Britain, Hung
airy, Italy, Switzerland, Russia Sweden,
Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium,
Spain, Portugal, Greece, Roumania,
Servia, Egypt, Persia, Mexico, Brazil,
Argentine Republic, Bolivia, Chill,
Nicaragua, Guatemala, Ecuador, IRA
quay, Paraguay, San Domingo, San
Salvador, Hayti, China. Japan, East
India, Siam, Morocco and Australia.
The unrepresented countries are Ger
many, an absence as inevitable as it is
deplOrable and conspicuous, Turkey
and Montenegro.

Experienced Yioiasitndaa.

TOPEKA, May s.-Wallace county,
the last county in this state to be or
gained, experienced many vicIssitudes
prior to February last, when the leg
islature passed an act to enable the
county commissioners to retain the
county seat for five years at the town
designated by the governor as the
temporary county seat. This town
was Sharon Springs. April
Is the first election I'M
der the new organization was, and
although no question of county seat
entered into the election. Many citi-
Zens, by connivance, voted to make
Wallace, neighboring town, the per-
nanent county seat. No votes were
cast for any other town. Ten days
later the county officers, except the
commissioners, unanimously moved,
with their books and records, to Wal
lace. where they still are. An applica-
tion for peremptory writ of man
damus has been made in the supreme
court in the name of the state, on the
relation of the attorney general, to com
pei the officers to return to Sharon
Springs. A hearing will be had to-day
and after that trouble in Wallace
county may be looked for, whichever
way the decision goes.

A letter to that effect had been re-
ceIv6d from the attorney general by
the United States marshal. In sum-
ming up the matter Judge Caldwell
said, the prosecution of the gov
eminent criminal cases was practically
ended and the grand jury would be dis
charged because no further business
could be contracted without men to
testify. The judge said he would not
summon men to appear without the
means at hand to compensate them.
He didn't believe in compelling wit
neSSeS to pay their own expenses when
Obliged to testify IN behalf Of the gov
eminent. The judge regretted that
business must cease but it could not be
helped.
District Attorney Waters, in ans
Wer Co some queries upon the subject
said all the principal cases had in fact
been settled and cases that had been
before the United States commissioner
and found of sufficient merit to be
bound over had all been tried. Fur
thermOre the grand jury was on the
eve OF adjournment and the lack of
funds was not such fearful calamity
after all and Notwithstanding all this,
the fact exists that there are a num-
Der of cases on the docket which Will
have to go over to the next term of
the federal court and from this it will
be seen that the prosecution of alleged
frauds against the ballot box must
cease for awhile. The cost for wit
neSses alone in the case of Waters will
amount 30 s., 400.

A Trick CANA.

CINCINNATI, My 6.-On Saturday
last at Washington, Fayette county,
Ohio, two confidence men induced
Farmer William Coffmau to play with
them in trick game of cards and win
$4,000, but before paying it required
him to produce $1,000, to show them
that he was able to pay it in case he
had lost. The old man went to the
bank and borrowed 5000 in bills and
returned to the farm, where, as
soon as he displayed the money the
men seized it and with drawn revolvers
drove off leaving the old man to real
iZe his situation. He acted promptly
and by the use of the telegraph des-
criptions of the men were sent out.
Marshal Duley of Leesburg found the
men at New Vienna waiting for a
Cincinnati train due in sew
en- minutes. lie promptly ar
rested them and found Sc, I26
on the person of one of them, most of
1t in the packages as received from the
bank. The man having the money
gave the name of George Carter and
also had registered at hotel as IL. II.
Martin of Toledo. He is about thirty
five years of age wore full brown beard
and mustache, has even fine teeth,
lips firmly set; aquiline nose
and weighs about $50 pounds.
His confederate, Black, was released
upon the assurance of men in New
Vienna that he was we'll known COM
mercial traveller. Marshal Duly gets a
reward of 1000 offered for the arrest
of the thief and recovery of the money.
1t is thought Carter is a professional
confidence man, and that he will be
wanted in other places fo- similar
crimes. He is now in the Jail at Wash.
linton court house.

LITTLE Rock, May This morning
a small riot occurred on Seventh street.
A driver named Wexford attempted to
bounce little darkey who persisted in
hanging to the back end of the street
car. The youngster persisted and
Wexford was obliged to use force. A
gang of negroes who witnessed the per-

driver, and finally they grew holder
and rushed upon him. About this time
another driver named Parker came to
the assistance of Wexford. The fight
was growing serious when Wexford
pulled knife and stabbed one of the
negroes, George Harris, until he
dropped. At this moment a squad of
policemen came on the scene quelling
the mob and arresting Wexford and
Parker. Both are now in jail. =

Judgs Lonp and His Pension.

AsHINGToN, d. c., May Judge
Long, of the supreme court of Michi-
gan, is in the city, and to-day he paid
a visit to the commissioner of pensions.
Judge Long was union soldier in the
late war, and was badly wounded in
service. His left arm was shot away,
and shell inflicted a serious wound
in his left hip. An empty sleeve at
tests the missing arm, and the twenty
five years that have elapsed since the
war closed have not healed the hip
wound. In 1884 Judge Long was
granted a pension of $50 month, and
he has drawn that amount since
March "a of that year. This was
allowed him under the act of June 10,
1874, although at the same time he
was entitled to an additional SO a
month under the later act of June II.
1873. To-day he appeared at the de-
partment, and made application for
the increase of pension to which he is
entitled. The surgeons certificates
were in due form, and the examination
showed Judge Long entitled to rating
of S72 a month. Commissioner Tanner,
upon the showing made, promptly
allowed the pension and issued the
certificate. The arrears due on the
new rating amount to nearly $1,000
and before Judge Long left the pen
sion bureau he received a check for the
full amount.

ST. PAUL, May IA special from
jamestown, Dakota. says: About s
O'Clock last night a peculiar circum-
stance was noticed by number of peo-
pie. A small black cloud hanging
rather low, was noticed to move rather
queerly, when suddenly the cloud
was lost sight of and a
precipitation Of frogs was
seen. There were several hundred of
upon the street block away. A num-
Der of dogs were promptly on hand and
made It lively for the hoppers. 1t is
claimed that funnel shaped cloud in
dicating cyclone was seen it the west
shortly before and it is thought by
some that the frogs were caught up
from some slough in this vicinity and
carried in the air until it spent itself.

ARKANSAS CITY. May 6.-The suf-
ferings of tie baffled boomers gives the
most prominent evidence along this
northern border. Yesterday one thou
sand wagons on the march down and
five hundred wagons on the way back
were counted. The groves in the Ar
kansas and Walnut river valleys thai
afforded camps for the boomers
before the descent are filling

There are hundreds af families among
them who have sold everything to make
the trip and now having nothing. The
sight of men, women and children who
are thus unprOvided for, desolate with
the mere frames of horses to drag
them along are pitiful.
Guthrie still holds the majority of
population and IS not yet symmetri-
cally formed.
Oklahoma City is the most promis-
