Captain Gooding says he left Irons at

When they arrived the missionaries were
greatly surprised to see Irons, for they
had heard rcEort of his death at the
bands Of the savagcS in December, 1878.
The party also met ct one Of the islands
in the Ruk lagoon Harry Chisholm,
who was at one time shipmatc Of

MORE TROUBLE FOR MRS. MORRIS.

Mr.. Morris's WiiI to be Contested by His
Rclntivcs uad the Life Insurance Conn
pRny.
REIDsvILLE, n. G., january 3O.-As
was we'll known, there WAS more at stake
in the trial OF Mrs. Morris, charged with
causing tho death Of her husband by
chloroform, than the mere conviction or
acquittal Of the fair prisoner. There is
the large estate OF Mr.. Morris bcqucath-
ed in his will to his wife, and a $40, 900
insurance policy on his life, also payable
to Mrs. Morris. The acquittal of the
prisoner, Of course, throws all this into
her hands; whereas, had she been con-
victcd, the will Of her husband would
have been null and void This is the
home OF Mrs. Mnrrla and it is in this
thriving town where most OF the proper
ty mentioned in the will of Mr.. Morris is
located. 1t is learned tonight that
there will be several lawsuits over the
matter, and there is more interest IN
store for the pretty Widow Morris.
Relatives Of the dead man will contest
his will, on the ground Of undue innu
cncc on the part Of Mrs. Morris in in
ducing her husband to make its provi-
sions IN her favor. The Mutual Benc-
fit Life insurance Company Of New
York announce that they will fight the
case till judgment day before they will
pay over the ten thousand dollar policy.

Foedine Horses,

An English veterinary surgeon recon-
mends that those who have charge of
horses. especially farm horses, should
be taught that the stomach of a horse
is no like the rumen of a COW, a mere
receptacle for food, but an essential or
gan of digestion of limited capacity,
which does not need to be crammed in
order to perform its proper functions.
and that it annot be so treated without
danger to the animal; that the teeth of
the horse are provided for the purpose
of masticating the food, and that the
o which does not require mastication
should be sparingly, ii ever, used. He
further recommends that no horse be
put 70 work Immediately after a full
meal, and whore Il horse has done u
heavy days work it should be allowed
to stand in the stable until it is cool
and comfortable before being fed. A
little water may be given, ana e n little
good hay be put into the rack il will
occupy his attention. and besides re-
quiring proper mastication will further
have the effect to slightly stimulate the
stomach to secretion, aud prepare it for
the reception of the feed which is to
follow. Should q horse require more
food than usual to supply the extra
waste of tissues caused by hard work.
give it by all means, but let it be in ex-
cess in its albuminoids, and let the
horse be fed oftener and not in iuoseesed
quantities at q time.

A Rich Montana Find.

A dispatch from Barker says that one Of
the richest strikes ever known in this camp
has been made in the May & Edna mine.
The night workmen broke into lead Of
solid c%arbonates aud galena. They have
gone in twenty feet and are still in ore.
This silver mine was sold about two years
ago to Arlington b Seims, of st. Paul,
who have done considerable work
on it. Kid Merrett has returned
to Barker from the carbonate
district and reports that it is one of the
greatest unprospected districts in the
Belt mountain. He brought with him
some 6ne hard carbonate ore to verify the
statement. Two locations have been made
on . vein which is sig foot wide. Many
railroad workmen and others are rushing
in. The camp is five miles from the rnil-
road now building. Montana Central rail-
road surveyors have arrived ct Barker.
Everyone was elated and excitement ran
high. The advance of 10 cents in silver is
giving q strong impulse to mining. The
Great Falls silver smelter here will soon
be worked to ito full capacity.

WILL CARLETON is declared by Rich
ard Henry Stoddard to be no poet. But
Richard Henry stoddard, though he
makes criticism a profession, is no
critic. If the ability to move man, to
awaken the feelings and rouse the heart
is poetry, then Will Carleton is a poet.
He influences and o men, and this
~ more than the elaborate insipidities
of many of our modern verse writers
can do. Will Carleton is not q Shakes
l,eare; but he has had the. courage to be
simply Will Carleton. The critics fight
shy of him, but the common people re.
ceive him gladly. He gets his own
prices for his poems, and cannot furnish
them az fast as the publishers want
them. He is q tall, lank man, though
of late he is said to be growing fat. He
lives in Brooklyn, is very domestic in
his tastes, is forty-five years old, and is
beginning TO grow gray. His poems
are thu favorites Of elocutionists, aud
i've reads them himself with good effect.
He makes o money than some poets
who think they r greater than he.

they Are Afraid Of the steel Cempany's
Onsr to share Profits.
The proposition OF the Illinois Steel
company to inaugurats . system Of what
II terms profit sharing or paying
premiums for faithful, xealous, efficient
and continuous SERVICE" is regarded
BY the employees with some
suspicion. The proposition is to pay l
per cent. ON the wages earned quarterly. to
advance the premium per cent. every sig
months for Eve years, when the premium
reaches . per cent, where it is TO remain.
II looks very plausible, but the men ask:
t'why cannot they add this to our wages
and let us b. sponsors for cur own social
welfare?" They think it IL something un-
usual for . corporation to do any
thing for the men that they are
not compelled to, and they also wonder
why, il the company will do this
for the Joliet plant they cannot
OF do not do 1t for their employees in Chi

q scale Of wages for s'new, intermediate"
and veteran" engineers, aud that the pro-
motion of brakemen and dremen kept the
lower class full, while the ssveteran" class
was let go as fast as they became veterans.
They think there is a"nigger iu the fence"
that the company want to destroy the SOL
id,ty Of the amalgamated association and
ally the men to the company by plausible
proportions. Another thing they allege
is that the company wants to put the COM

keeping it there the company saves munic.

out of the limits and spare them the

erty owners. But the management lay it
to the benefits of protection. The plant is
said to be clearing a profit of $4,000 q day
or $1,000, 900 q year, and the men shake

Cleaning Hor.s. l,y Steam Power

The brush and currycomb are indis-
pensable little tools for cleaning horses;
but they involve the expenditure of so
much elbow grease that a substitute
worked by steam is sure of favor. In
the Palmer House livery stables in
Chicago IRE steam brushes, cylinders in
form. and revolving ON q stick which
may be held in the hand. With this the
operator passes rapidly ove the horse,
making dust and hair fly at q rate that
keeps the air thick. Two men work at
one horse, one on each side, and they
will go over an animal in forty seconds.
a repetition of the cleaning leaves so
little dust that q white handkerchief may
be passed over the coat without soiling
it. This horse-cleaner is often operated
by steam: Sometime probably the stor-
ing of electric power will be so perfect
that surplus power collected from wind
mills or waterfalls may be kept con-
v%enient to houses and barns to furnish
power for any small force that may be
desired, cleaning horses or turning
grindstone in barns, or churning. wash
ing. or running the sewing machine in
the house.
