Fire at Alamosa.

ALAMosA, May Yesterday morning
this thrifty and promising town, came
within an ace of being swept away by fire.
Shortly before 10 o'clock a. N. the alarm
was given.
An outbuilding in the rear OF Black,
more's stable was found to be enveloped
in flames. The fire company responded
with alacrity. A high wind was raging
and it was only with the greatest exertion'
that the flames were controlled.
Had the flames once reached Black
more's barn the entire town would hav
been in great danger, as the strong win'
would have swept the fire tiend up tn
main business avenue, and the chance c
controlling it would have been small il
deed.

forest fires to some extent. A heavy con-
tinuous rainstorm is needed. Every in

On both sides of Pike Lake station,

we're famed into fury and the tall pine
trees fell and shriveled up like matches.
For miles this side of Ashland the forests
are one sheet Of blazing fire. West o.

: In all iangaages exeept bud own,

In all languages except our own, SheJs tbe neu.sS-sSlmes in, the word cufiosty Is feminine. To the curiosity Of Mother Eve, who partook ,i the for bidden apple, the world IS indebted for tbe Pandora box containing all the ills to which mortal flesh IS heir. The spirit of inqulsitireness Is so deeply ingrained te woman's nature that the wonder Is she has not been more signally gifted with the capacity of enriching science with fruitful invenhseuess. If walls have ears women certalnt'y by intuition or by some sublet process of unknown gravitstion, penetrateS into the myste- rlous mechanism which evolves secrets which the duller perceptions ot men unrsvel only after patient study and learned investigation. But to dip straight into the marrow of subject or work no matter how intricate its construction, a woman IS all the time ahead. The more cunning or mysterious, the sooner will her gift of curiosity be sharpened m her determination to unfathom the secret. When she Is caught in the meshes of inqiury, she learns too late that curiosity has its penalties. A chambe:- msid m one of ,he large hotels in New York, while cleaning up the room of a . guest, discovered on the table some thing that puzzled her. On close inspeo- tion she concluded that 1t was parr of nickel bracelets held together by links She put them or her wrists, stood in front of the looking glass in admiration, and snapped the ornaments fast They were recently patented handcuffs. Con cealing her hands in a huff she went to the nearest police station 10 have them taken of. but no key could be found 10 open them. She returned in tears to the hotel, and sat alone Tn her room until evening, when the guests to whom the bracelets belonged returued, and released her. She had worn the bracelets nearly the whole day, and her wrists wers swollen and discolored.

In a land case before the United States master in chancery at Los An aeles, involving the title to lands on an Indian reservation, some extraordinary instances of longevity were produced. The deterioration of the aborigines has often been cited to strengthen the gen. eral belief, that the noble red man was fast beng gathered to the happy hunt ing grounds of his fathers, ard bliss
 fully whiting away the eternal hours in the chase and dance. It is true that the Indian has receded at the advance of civilization, and that the race is near ing extinction. But il IS also true that that his vitality IS an anomaly. which is beyond explanation, when his habits and modes of life are considered. Tn the case referred to, five Indian witnesses were examined, They ranged in years mp to I2o, the infant of the group being but So, while his father pleaded to the hale and hearty period of I4o summers.

 The operations of the la~cf nature It. self, the revolution of the ori''ts in their celestial course, the flashing Oi meteors in the horizon are in accord with the music ordained by the archnec.

The inspiration Of music has elevated man from plane of moral debasement to a sphere of exalted pur- poses: il has softened the asperiiies of the coarsef phases of humanity 10 the achievements of fame; il has animated the soul to the attainment of noble ends, through winch. mankind has been bet tered aud :re6ned. Like flowers that bloom in their glory of beauty and give expression to the grandder of the laws that govern creation, music Is ideal in its illustration of the holiness that inspires thought and action in their pristine pur- i,y.

: About three yrArs ago, l., Fran cisco the wife of ]. Milton Bowers, a well known physician, died, and was bur jed on his certificate, that death resulted from natural causes. Suspicion was, however, awakened b. co nation of strange eircun nc s' incidents. The remains ~eie eXnumed and the revelation made that her untimely end : was superinduced by phosphorus poi
 soning. Dr. Bowers was arrested on the charge of murder, tried and con- yicted. An appeal was taken to the supreme court, and pending he deliber- ations of that tribunal, another scene in the tragedy was enacted. The brother of Bowers deescsed wife, who had been an important witness for the prosecution,
 ~ss found dead in a room Tn lodging house. It was shown by an autopsy that he had been poisoned. A letter was fonnd on bis person purporing to be a Confession that he had murdered
 his sister and that her husband was iH- nocent. This letter was alleged to be
 forgery, and no definite determination as to its genuineness was ever reached, the mystery only deepening as the in vestigation progressed. During the trial the evidence adduced by the prosecu- tion eliminated the alleged murderer beyond the semblance of doubt. The motive that impelled him to take her life was as we'll established as crcum- stantial testimons will justify within the
 limits of reasonable doubt. Cupidity was the incentive that prompted the foul deed. as was demonstrated by the facts divulged in the course Of the trial. The lite of the woman had been insured to the extent of SI5,ooo in differen; bene- ciary organizations, and the policies were made out in his favor He had been married twice bsiore and Tn tach case the OSath Ol nlS WIG was unOSf SlinliaF CIT cumstances, and it was averred that he realized rich legacies after their demise. He lived Stylishly, and was conspicuous by the richness of his apparel, and the lavish display of jewelry on his person. After a confinement uf three years, with the specter of death confronting him, in the very sight of the gbnet, the supreme court comes to his rescue. The spirit of the decision IS directed to the fact that evidence did not dismiss the existence of doubt to which the alleged mur- derer was entitled, and to the manifest bias of the lowe 'ourt before which the trial took place.
