THE PROPITIOUS AND CARGO.

GALVESoN, Tex, June 16-A cablegram
received here announces that the steam
ship Propitious. with a cargo of golden
corn, loaded ut Galveston wharveS. arrived
in London with her cargo in firt-class con
ditiOn. This means that the sea voyage in
no wise affected the quality of the grain.
This is indeed encouraging for those who
are interested in the success Of the under
taking
This cable also brings the cheering in
formation that the corn sold readily and at
good prices Mr. Reymershotfer, from
whom was obtained this information. said
that it is unerStood the PropiJipus viii Te-
turn at once for another cargo.
we trust that this is true, said Mr.
Reymershoffer for if she returns we will
give her a cargo of both -four and corn. -
The experiment of shipping grain from
this port has proven entirely satisfactory
and Galveston extends greetings TO Kan
sas and the great northwest over this sue
cessful Inauguration of the expectation of
grain through this port

bles in his way. The suspense grew In
tolerable as the moments slipped past
and the time drew Near when the Nayajos
would return And what could Hamlin
mean? Was he seeking favor on his own
account Was he about to desert us2
A comrade touched me, and pointed to
the place of the two drivers little way
off in the shadow. Their blankets were
on the ground, but peering intently,
saw them to be empty. The Mexicans had
slipped off in the darkness undiscovered.
Hamlin must be informed at once, and
raised on my elbow to call. Perhaps
he heard me move, for the next moment
he sprang at a Navajo's throat like a
wildcat. His companion uttered single
"Yip!" and leaped to his feet, but before
his weapon could be used was pinioned
by the two Mexicans. HanIin had
seized the larger, and as we ran up they
were clenched and struggling.
The two were quickly gagged and
bound. The Mexicans wished to dis
patch them at once, but milder counselS
prevailed
yond the ridge had heard the warning
note, and with all haste threw the sad
dies and more valuable packs upon the
animals, sPrang to our places and hur-
ried along the obscure and difficult trail.
We rode with whip and spur through
sand and sagebrush, over stones and
gulches, across fallen timber; a mad,
wild race, as fast as beasts could strug
gle. After the intense night of watch
ing action was relief; we could have
jumped from precipice, charged bat
terry or fought band of grizzly bears.
On and on we urged the train; one
mile passed, two, then three; by that
time we were shaken with the perilous
ride, the animals were painting, and our
speed slackened. Another mile and a
call was heard. We paused to listen.
Were the Navajos following, or was it a
friend? A moment and another whoop
came ringing, and there was sound Of
galloping hoofs. The voice was familiar,
and we sent an answer echoing across
the plain.
In few minutes we were with friends.
The lad had reached the Chez-a-kla and
reused the camp, then mounted horse
and was guiding the bluecoats back to
our aid.
The next day Francisco was followed
into the mountains and shortly after
ward captured; but instead of taking
him to the fort for trial we called his
people together and held grand pow
WOW. Hamlin explained how the pony
had followed US. and the lieutenant de-
clarsd that he had been sent to seek and
punish the murderers of the two Nava-
jos. Then a present of tobacco was
given, we each whitfield from Franciscos
dirty pipe, and, as the story books say,
all lived happily together ever after, for
as long as we worked in that region they
were our friends.-John Willis Hays i'll

WATERFOWL OUT OF THE RACE.

WATERFOWL, S. D., June 16.-At pub
lie meeting Saturday night the citizens of
Watertown decided to accept the PROPOSE
tion from the city of Huron to withdraw
from the race for the permanent capital of
South Dakota. The conditions of the
in cash be made by the city of Huron to
the city of Watertown and that note for
$50, 600, signed by forty citizens of Huron,
to the city of Watertown, due January l,
1891 also be given. The condition Of the
note is that it be paid provided the people
by their votes decide to locate the capital
of the state at Huron. If not, then it is
null and void This action caused great
indignation in many quarters, and it is
claimed that it is an attempt to sell the
votes of one county to another 1t is al
most certain that three-fourths of the votes
of this county will go to pieces as a result
of this proposition.

THE CHOLERA IN SPAIN.

MADRID, June 16-Much alarm is oc-
casioned by the continued spread of the
cholera at Puebla Derugat. Yesterday
there were four deaths from the disease
and nine new cases were reported. The
doctors at Puebla Derugat are greatly
overwOrked and the authorities have tele-
graphed to Nalencia asking that physicians
be sent from that city to aid them. The
supply of drugs is running short and the
town officials have also telegraphed for a
fresh supply from Valencia. The total
number of cases thus far reported is nine
ty-one. DR.. Candida who is an expert, de-
clares that the disease at Puebla Derugat
is true Asiatic cholera.

A Painter" Let Go.

Every sailor has his story of the mis-
takes which ''iandlubbers" make over
the names of things at sea, which always
seem TO be exactly the opposite of what
they are on land. A sheet, for instance,
instead of being something broad, like a
sheet of cloth or a sheet of water, is moth
ing but rope.
A new boy had come on board West
India ship, upon which a painter had
also been employed to paint the ships side.
The painter was at work upon a staging
suspended under the ships stern. The
captain, who had just got into boat
alongside, called out to the new boy, who
stood leaning over the rail:

THE CROSS CASE.

PARIS, Tex, June 16.-Ten witnesses
were examined in behalf of the govern
ment in the Cross case. Much of the tes-
timony appeared irrelevant, and only
served to show the bad condition of affairs
in Stevens county i'll 1888. Expert testi-
mony was introduced to show that Sheriff
Cross had his arms elevated when
shot, and that Cross, Hubbard and
Wilcox were shot while lying on
the ground. George Brucker, of Caldwell
Kan, stated that on Monday after the
killing of Chamberlain one of the defend
ants told him that he shot Herbert. Tony
was very sorry of it and would give all he
had if the boy would get well.
Smith Grubbs, another defendant, said
to him: I've shot Cross" r. NJ. Miller
of Seward county, Kansas, said he was in
Hugoton in April, 1899, aud in conversa-
tion with Chamberlain expressed the Opin-
ion that the killing of Cross and his men
was cold-blooded murder People would
not have talked so much, but Cross had his
hands up. Chamberlain said somebody
had to be killed Witness said to him:
''It was strange none of the other crowd
was hutt."
Chamberlain said: eve did not give
them time"

DEAL GENTLY WITH THE STOMACH.
If it proves refractory, mild discipline is
the thing to set it right. Not all the nau-
seous draughts and boluses ever invented
can do half as much to remedy its diror-
ders as few wineglassfulls-say three a
day-of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
will afford it speedy Ielief, and eventually
Danish every dyspeptic and bilious symp-
tom. Sick headache, nervousness, sallow-
ness of the complexion, fur upon the
tongue, vertigo, and those many indescrib-
able and disagreeable sensations caused
by indigestion, are too often perpetuated
by injudicious dosing An immediate
abandonment of such random and ilI-ad-
vised experiments should be the first step
in the direction of a cure; the next step the
use of this standard tonic alternative which
has received the highest medical sanction
and won unprecedented popularity.

LONDON, June 16.-In the house of COM
mons tonight, Messrs Gill and Finch,
Nati0nalists, questioned Mr.. Balfour re-
garding the governments system of ''shad-
owing" persons in Ireland. They wanted
to know how this shadowing could pre-
vent boycotting. Mr.. Balfour replied that
no one was shadowed unless he was
known to be engaged in intimidation.
Mr.. Dillon--lf after this brutal, abomin-
able outrage, there is bloodshed, it viii be
upon your head.
Mr.. Parnell asked Mr.. Balfour to adopt
the English presumption that every per
son accused is innocent until proved to be
guilty. [cheersl Mr. Balfour-will Mr.
Parnell undertake that these people shall
not repeat their crimes?
This question brought out loud Parnell-
lite cries of What crimes' amid a tremen-
dous uproar on the part of Parnellites.
Mr.. Dillon began an excited speech.
He denounced Mr.. Balfour and demanded
an apology for the use of the word crime -
A stormy scene ensued in which Mr.. Gill
accused Mr.. Balfour of lying, and Mr..
Gladstone challenged him to prove his as
sertion that the Liberals resOrted to the
practice of shadowing. Mr.. Baifour sub
stituted the words intimidation and boy
cotting' for crime" Finally the speaker
appealed to the house and the matter was
dropped.

WILL THERE BE A FAIR
Or Will the Columbus Celebration As
sumo Another Form?


The Senate committee on the quadro-centen-
NAL is waiting calmly for the documents which
it deems necessary to the private dis
cussion of what ought or ought not
to be done. 1t was supposed that
meeting would be held today, but
unexpected delays interfered and there will be
no meeting before Tuesday. Sentiment on the
subject of the fair has had several novel fea-
lures injected into it. st. Louis men are now
confident that all their hopes were
founded on breezes much less substantial
than the lake zephyrs which make Chicago
such draughty city, and they have settled
down to beat the Illinois metropolis if that
great center OF population and porkers has not
already been laid in the dust by the more
weighty arguments put forth by representa-
tives Of this city.
1t is now tolerably certain that st. Louis is
with New York. or divides its favor between
New York and Washington.
From the disappointed ones a great cry is
going up and it is now argued by some that
the outcome will be total abandonment of the
exposition idea. This will, it is claimed, be
brought about by members the House who will
oppose any appropriation by the government
for such q purpose. There is in this connec-
ton a fairly-well formulated plan which in
cludes. if necessary, all the obstruction tactics
that the Speaker will permit.
There is a practical unanimity Of sentiment
as to the propriety of q celebration, but these
few members who are willing to
beyond big memorial building in this city
the corner stone of which may be laid in 1885,
with appropriate accompanying eloquence and
federal ceremony.
