A Coon SHow1NG.-By the figures
We give below it will be readily seen
that the business of the Alexandria
Cotton Compress is largely on the in
crease as compared with this time last
year. The second run was made on
Saturday, when 293 bales were com.
pressed. This, with l65 bales which
were compressed the first run, makes
1853 bales already this. For the whole
month of September last year only
$50 bales were compressed. Receipts
of the Compress up to last Monday
show $40 bales; receipts for the whole
of September last year 615 bales. By
the close of the month this year both
the receipts and number of bales COM
pressed will show that the business is
more than double that of last season.
We congratulate Superintendent Miles
GU his good showing. Hurrah for the
Compress.

From the Colfax Chronicle of Sat
urday, we clip the following account of
recent killing in Grant Parish by
the Smith brothers, who are we'll
known here:
William Armstrong, colored, was shot
to death by Ralph and Dave Smith, two
white brothers, OH Tuesday, the 18th.
The killing took place above Smithfeld,
about mile and half north of Colfax.
From the accounts given it appears that
Armstrong and the Smiths first had a
fight, in which the former was worsted,
and ran home and got his pistol and
came back to where he had left his mule.
Dave Smith is said to have gone toward
Armstrong with shot gun and demanded
that he drop his pistol, and upon his de-
ctining to do so fired upon him with his
gun, wounding and bringing Armstrong
down on his kness, whereupon it is
claimed that Ralph ran up and taking
the Negroes PISTOL away from him shot him
in the hollow of his head, killing him in
stantly. The Smith brothers were arrest
ed three or four hours after the killing,
and are now in jail.

remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, 1 saw by an advertise

f,een relieved of this distressing COM

WILL RESUME COINAGE.

The welcome news was flashed
over the wires Yesterday that the
Secretary Of the Treasury had or
dsred the resumption of coinage at
the Carson Mint, TO begin with the
fiscal year, commencing July L,
1889.
1t was the proud boast of the Re-
publicans of Nevada that should a
Republican President again occupy
the chair of the Chief Executive of
the Nation. the resumption of the
coinage of silver would be one OF
the earliest episodes of the admins
tration. A Republican President
was elected, AID Nevada helped
elect him by casting a larger Re-
publican majority vote than it had
done for more than sixteen years.
The promises made by Republi-
can orators during the last two cam
paigns, have been fulfilled. They
claimed that Democratic admins
tration had wrecked the Mint at
Carson; had closed its doors; dis
mantled its machinery; transferred
the millions OF silver dollars in its
vaults to Eastern storage places;
wiped it out as Mint, and made it
simply an assay Office. And all
this, too. in utter and willful infrac-
ton of Congressional law.
The same Republican takers said
that all this would not have occur
red under Republican National rule,
and that it would be remedied
when that party should again come
into power.
The Republican party is again
IN power, and, as fast as is consist
ent with the proper administration
Of good government. the evils out
growing from maladministration
under Democratic rule, are being
corrected. and the party of National
Progress and National Prosperity |
is fulfilling every promise made by
its leaders to its rank and file, and |
to the whole peop.e Of the Nation.
The resumption Of coinage by |
the Carson Mint means much for
Nevada. 1t means that silver will
be worth mole 10 the prooucer OF
that metal. Being werth more to
the miner, who takes it fIom the
ground, it means that many silver
mines, now lying idle, and almost
will again resume ACTIVE
operations. 1t means renewed in
dustry in all parts Of the State and
i'm all branches of business, from
tho man who keeps a peanut stand
TO the merchant who carries a
stock worth thousands. and from
the farmer who raises the staff Of
life to the cattleman whose beef
goes to help feed the miner seek
ing after silver and gold.

SERIOUS AcCIDENr.-While engaged in
saving wood by horse power, Peter
Minnette met with a serious accident.
which nearly proved fatal. The belt
slipped from the saw, and the six horses
on the power started at lively gait.
Mr.. Minnette attempted to apply brake
to the large pulley by means of bar or
hand spike. Instead of getting it under
the wheel, the bar caught in the spokes,
throwing it with terrific force, striking
him across the abdomen with sufficient
violence to throw him about a rod,
knocking him senseless. He was picked
up and carried to the house, and it was
feared that he could not survive. Medi-
cal attendance was summoned, and he is
now improving.
