Drew Checks for Thousands.

PINEvILLE. Ky., Aug. 4.-Pineville
has been harbcring for some time past a
gentleman who turns out to be a slicLer
man than the notorious Vonkatscher
His name is Fred W. Lee, and he came
to Pineville about six months ago and
obtained work with an abstract company.
He was a handsome fellow, a smooth
modest Young man, and was liked by ali
who knew him. About a month ago he
lett here for a trim to Louisville. and before
leaving borrowed about 5000 from a
number Of Pineville gentlemen. His
stop in Louisville was a little prolonged
but his friends fears here were relieved
when Lee turned up later on and actually
succeeded in working those same friends
for nearly double the amount he had
formerly borrowed. This time he started
for New York. He was heard from again
in Louisville, however, several checks
being sentin from that place. The largest
one was for $3.50 and another for SlIO
Both of these were protested, but the
greatest card of slick Mr.. Lee was vet to
be played. This morning J. B. Fisher
of the Pineville Banking company received
through the mail two checks. One called
for $1,000 and the other for $500. Both
had been cashed by some innocent marty
and had been sent here for collection.
More than 5000 had been secured by
Lee through checks on a bank in which
he had at no time had more than $50.
The officials of the bank stated this morn
ing that they had received a number of
kilograms from Saratoga inauirinR if
certain checks would be honored. The
dispatches were invariably answered in
the negative. The checks which came in
this morning had passed through the
Phoenix National bank at Lexington and
the Citizens National bank, Louisville.

Practical Jokers Surprised.

FORT DODGE, Iowa. Aug. 4.-Arthur
Hannaford, of Webster City, Is now lying
at deaths door, while James Carpenter,
of the same place, laneuishes in jail as
the result of a practical joke. Hannaford
and a crowd of boys planned the joke.
One of their number was dressed in
feminine apparel and pretended to be
greatly smitten with Carpenter. The
pretended young lady invited him to call
on her at her room in the hotel. Alter
he had accepted the invitation the gang
broke into the room and apparently were
greatly shocked at the situation Of affairs.
Before the jokers could explain Carpenter
whipped out a revolver and shot Hanna
ford in the thigh, lnfictinE a dangerous
wound. Carpenter is now 10 jail Hanna
ford is lying in a critical condition, and no
one sees where the Joke came in.

WASHINGTON, Aug. davis offered
a resolution calling on the secretary ofwar
for information on the subject of the accl
dent last Friday to a lock of the Sault ste
Marie canal. He spoke of it as a most
serious calamity to the commerce of the
nation, costing las he had been informed
by telegraph $500, 900 per day. He also
mentioned, incidentally, the failure of the
house to act on the bill passed by the SEN
ate some months ago, providing Tor a
second and larger lock.
Cullom hoped the house would be In

it. If not it would be well enough for the

where Some EmigrnntS Come From.
l visited the vineyards at Bronte, in
Sicily, which are 800 acres in extent, and
where some 40 men, under n surveyor,
were trenching the ground in one long
line. They We're a poor looking lot, but
appeared to use their implements, which
are more like axes than spades, to good
purpose. When they do not, at such
times as English eyes are not upon them,
the surveyors stick or whip plays pretty
freely about their backs, ] believe, and
without vigilance they will not work Mt
all. They come from their villages on
Monday morning and return on Satur-

Where Is the United states MeddIer,

WASHINGTON, Aug.4.-The President
sent a cheap and ignorant politician as
minister to Guatemala. His name is
Miner. He had tor a diplomatic post
not even the negative qualification OF
ability to hold his tongue, He began forth
with to NEEDLE in the domestic affairs of
South America, and his gratuitous
meddling resulted a formal complaint
to Washington. Mr.. Blaine disavowed
Miner, but Mr.. HARRISON kept him at the
post he had hagrantly discredited.
Since the outbreak OF hostilltIes between
Salvador and Guatemala Miner has not
been heard from. Communication has
been uninterrupted between the minister
OF every other country represented in the
chief city of Guatemala and his govern
ment. But Mr.. Blaine has never heard
from or of Miner. He has sent him
various notes OF interrogation, but Miner
has neglected to answer them or the notes,
or the replies have miscarried. Now the
government of the United States is ring
ing a bell via Mexico for Miner, and Mr..
Ryan, our representative at the ancient
home OF the Montezumas, has been
requested to find Miner, if he be still at
large on the lower half OF the American
continent.
Miner may have meddled once too often.

these new vines are three years of age
the youngest were set out this year.
Nearly all of these new vines are Muscat.
Besides these, few Mission vines have
been planted. The older vines show. in
places, little disease, but by far the
greater proportion of those set out this
year show no disease. Some plots are
entirely free; they are apparently in
good health, having made fair amount
OF growth, and the canes have ripened
properly. In common with all vines of
this section, they show the effects of the
extra heat and dryness of the past sea-
son, and they have also suffered from
the effects OF hot wind storm which
visited this locality few weeks since.
From the above statements it will be
seen that in Orange county the Anaheim
disease is evidently not so virulent as in
past years, and that, though the trouble
has by no means passed away, the out
look for viticulture is much more hope
full than it was twelve months ago, and
also that there is as yet no reason for
altering the opinion expressed in the
earlier reports of this year, that there
has been ali improvement in the condi-
ton OF the vines throughout the infected
areas. The improvement is such that
in Orange county, where the Anaheim
disease has done most damage, and
where, IN consequence, the greatest pre-
caution would be exercised, many people
are looking forward to again Setting out
vines during the coming season.

our expense, before the passage of the
silver bill, OF which they were the
judges?
Farmers who are you and what are
you, you poor, little, insignificant pig
mics. Don't you see ''you are not in
the swim" and that you are on the high
way to the poorhouse, or will you wake
up to realize the fact that "you are the
salt of the earth'-that you are to this
nation what the fuel is to the locomo-
tive? We could readily spare from our
midst the many leeches that are sucking
the life blood from your veins; but to
stop the farm would soon raise starv-
ing cry, pitiful indeed. Ii, then, you
are the corner stone upon which our
safety rests, assert your rights in a
calm but decided way. You can learn a
lesson from the experience of the teT-
perance people; that is, should you
place third ticket in the national field
of politics you will individually assist in
electing ticket you least desire. You
can also learn an important lesson from
the expert ward politician well worth
adopting: Strengthen your forces, attend
the local caucus and primaries, secure
such delegates to conventions within the
lines of the two great political parties
only; then nominate and elect men of
honor and integrity, who will sit as Just
men in the councils of the nation, deal
ing out equal Justice to rich and poor,
remindful of the fact that the producers
from the soil have rights that must and
shall be protected.

Saw His Shadow in a Fog Bank.

A singular natural phenomenon is re-
ported by Superintendent Lincoln, Of
the Rumford Falls and Buckfeld rail-
road. One foggy morning he was walk
ing up hill ON the east side of Lake
Anasagunticook. AS he neared the sum-
NIT he came into clear atmosphere, and
could look upon sea of vapor as it lay
over the lake and valleys, with now and
then a mountain top rising above the
general level. The sun was just rising
and, as is usual under such conditions, a
rainbow was seen in the fog.
But what attracted Mr.. Lincoln's at
tention particularly was the presence Of
a bright spot in the center of the circle
particularly described by the rainbow.
This was so luminous that at first Mr..
Lincoln thought it might be farm build
ings ON fire some distance away in the
fog. This supposition was soon dispelled
by further developments.
The bright central spot was surrounded
by circles of radiating light composed of
the many hues of the rainbow, forming
beautiful halo. Passing along Mr..
Lincoln noticed dark spot on the sur
face of the suns reflection, and was some
what startled to discover that it moved
across the circle in the direction he was
walking. Returning to the point where
the shadow came in the center of the il
Illuminated circle he began movements of
the arms, and found that they were dis
tinctly initiated by the shadow which
appeared in the bank of fog mile away
AS the sun rose higher the reflection sank
lower, and was finally lost in the waters
of the placid idlake.-Canton Telephone
