On Monday, while Al Maurie's bead
ing crew was at work at the Thompkin's
ranch, IS miles south Of Colfax, a bad
accident occurred. David Klopenstien
was driving a three-horse team to a
header-wagon. 1t was on rough and
sideling ground. IN passing over a
steep place, the 7lnwieldly bed got out
from under the header spout, and tipped
over. To save himself Klopenstien
jumped from the overturning wagon,
and struck IN such way as to break
his leg. AS the wagon bed tipped off,
the coupling pole broke and the team
became frightened and ran away, drag
cling the front wheels Of the wagon.
The three horses hitched together ran
three times through a three barbedwire
fence, cutting one horse in most shock
ing manner, and severely injuring the
others. Medical aid was summoned
from this city, and the unfortunate
mans leg was set. Man and horses
alike were badly injured. Such acct
dents are getting to be of alarmingly
frequent occurrence in our rural dis
tricts
On Sunday evening Joseph Sapp, an
employee in the beer hall at the corner
Of Main and Spring streets, discovered
that valise belonging to himself had
disappeared. On making this dis
coyery he remembered having seen
tramp carrying valise on the street,.
which on second thought he concluded
was his. The tramp was ferreted out
and arrested, and the valise found hid
among the rocks along the South Pa
louise. Circumstances surrounding the
case rendered conviction easy and when
John Dyle, for such was the calprit's
name, was brought before Justice Pat
tison on Monday, be was quickly proven
guilty. The charge was petty larceny,
the contents Of the yalise being valued
at some $50. Dyle was fined 500 and
costs OF SUIT, in default OF which he was
committed to the county jail. Some
forty days viii elapse before he shall
have served out his heavy fine He was
given the extreme penalty Of the law for
petty larceny. Perhaps if such sum
mary justice is dealt out in such cases
all the time for a while, the criminal
depredations of the wretched crowd Of

A New Zealand Waterfall.

a waterfall has recently been discov-
cred in the southern part of New Zea-
land which proves to be one Of the most
remarkable in the world. It IS exceed
ingly difficult Of access, being almost
completely surrounded by chain of
snow covered mountains, numerous gla-
ciers and superb lakes.
The highest of all the waterfalls whose
existence is known at the present time
is one in California, whose mass of wa
ter plunges down from a height of 1850
feet.
The next in point of height is the Orco
fall of Monte Rosa, in Switzerland,
which sends its water, in two falls, from
height Of about {, 400 feet.
The newly discovered waterfall in
New Zealand comes third on the list,
falling from a height Of 800 feet. This
waterfall has three falls, and the mass
of water thrown is much greater than
that Of either the Californian or Monte
Rosa waterfall.
The fourth highest is in the Pyrenees,
and comes from an elevation of 1,4OO
feet
Of course every schoolboy and girl
knows that the greatest mass Of water
thrown by any waterfall in the world is
that Of cur own Niagara falls.-Youth's

Yesterday evening A. A. Kincaid, G.
L. Cross, L. NJ. Smith and w. D. Beam
representing the board Of trade went
out to the farm of I. NJ. Berry, three
miles up the river, to witness the thresh-
ing OF an acre of wheat on one side of
the big field, without picking out the
best spot, and watched the wheat
headed, threshed and weighed. The
thresher was cleaned out preparatory to
the trial so that no more than the exact
amount produced on the acre should be
measured Sixty-six bushels was the
amount recorded. This was more than
Mr.. Berry anticipated. He has d much
better piece of spring wheat an acre OF
which will be entered for the prize
offered by the Spokane exposition.
a serious ARRAY occurred in the New
Era saloon this morning at II o'clock,
between Geo. Merritt, one of ZirngibI
& Sherman's men, and Eph Dent, a
rancher living up the river. The
stories as to the cause of the trouble
differ but the most probable version is
that Dent entered the saloon in company
with II. 0. Waters. That after they
had taken a drink, Dent was talking
with a. L, Helnes, when Merritt APP
preached and made some insulting re-
mark, following it up with blow, Dent
thereupon knocked down his opponent
twice. Merritt's friends here took a
hand and threw Dent upon the floor.
Merritt fell on top Of him and bit out a
piece Of his lip about half an inch
square. The men were separated and
Merrill rushed to the river, swan across,
procured large stone and swan bacI,
to renew the battle. When arrested lie
made q desperate resistance and it took
several men to drag him to jail Other
witnesses of the fracas state that beth
men wanted to fight and were equally
to blame.

A Eoon to Smokers.

Many attempts have been made to so
improve pipes and cigar holders that the
unpleasant biting sensation on the tip of
the tongue could be averted and the mic
otine prevented from entering the mouth,
but so far with Indifferent success. A
Scotchman, it is claimed, has now solved
the problem. His method is to provide
a hollow ball, with short tubular or
slotted stem attached to it, which is in
serted in the usual orifce in the mouth
piece Of the pipe OF cigar or cigarette
holder, so that the smoke shall pass out
through the tube OF slotted stem and up
per slotted part Of the ball, and the
tongue shall rub against the ball in the
mouth Of the orifce, and thus prevent
the saliva of the mouth from going or
working back in the mouthpiece.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

A Delicious Drink.

George Parsons Lathrop tells of a de-
Gcious summer drink which may seem
new to many people, but is really more
of revival Of something in vogue sever
al years ago. It is the sauterne cup, and
is as satisfying to the thirst as milk and
water or oatmeal water, and withal,
more epicurian. You take equal parts
of Sauterne and ApoIlinaris water, and
put them in a clear crystal pitcher,
sweetening with three Jumps of sugar to
quart, and adding slice or two of
pineapple and long pairing of cucum-
Der rind. Let this filed pitcher stand
for few minutes in a vessel of ice, or
wrap around the pitcher towel of
cracked ice and salt. Under no circum-
stances put ice in the dzassk, for that
would injure the fine flavor. Just be-
fore the cup is served throw some bits Of
mint upon the top.

of this old fertilizer company which
had become the pride of upper Cecil

come public last Friday after the
MIDLAND JOURNAL had been issued,
hence no account of the failure was

The Messrs. Waring changed their
base of operations last fall from
Colora to Baltimore, disposing of
the Colora plant to the Clendenin
Brothers, who formed new company
to continue the fertilizing business
at the old stand. After the move to
Baltimore which was thought to be
very judicious change, everything
appears to have gone wrong. The
common stock amounting to about
$4,000 is an entire loss. and the
preferred stock amounting to about
$4,000 is believed also to have
passed like the baseless fabric of a
dream. How such a complete failure
occurred before the parties most con-
cerned had suspicion of it. we have
not ascertained. The collapse it is
feared has carried down with it
several of our most worthy citizens
and will cause wide spread distress
in this part of the county. Among
the heavy losers are John Keilholtz.
