On last Sunday morning about
fifty persons left Colfax to attend a
Sunday school celebration at Beu-
lah church, seven miles east of this
place. Everything moved along
smoothly until the party got to the
Darro bridge, where they found a
sheet of water fifty yards between
them and the bridge. Several of
the most venturesome managed to
scramble up on the floating abut-
ment of the bridge, when SO may
plank were broken loose by their
struggling animals that it became
altogether unsafe for others to tryit,
and the balance of the party, about
forty in number, had to turn back
and wend their way homeward in
sorrow, ye editor being member
of the sorrowful party. Those who
got across went on TO the celebra-
tion, and report everything a sue
cess, and that all had fine time.

Mrs. Grow Exonerated.

We are glad to announce that
Mrs Mary L Grow, postmistress aa
Colfax, has been exonerated from
all completely and blame for the
loss of 500 from a letter mailed
by Mr.. A. Bloxom in January, 1889.
At the time Mrs. Grow was forced
by Inspector Hancock to make
good this money we expressed our
conviction of her innocence, and
protested against the arbitrary 40
ton of the inspector in making her
pay it. We are glad that her de-
mand for an investigation has re-
suited in such complete vindica-
tion. The following communi-
cation in relation to this matter is
self explanatory:

BUTLER HAS THE BLUES.
He Tries to show That the Farmers
Can Not Pay Their Debts.

He Tries to show That the Farmers
Can Not Pay Their Debts.
At a banquet of the Butler club in Bos-
ton, General Butler spoke at length upon
the possibilities of improving the farmer $
condition. He said that If the Farmers
Alliance could hold together it would de-
stroy both political parties and become a
party itself.
He compared the condition of the farmer
as a workman with that of carpenter,
showing that while the farmers profits
would be but Sll2.5 for his crop the car
penter's for less expenditure of time and
energy would be S960-fguring upon the
basis of the present value of corn within
twenty four hours ride of Chicago.
Taking the farms of the Western states,
exclusive of city, county and town prop
erty, there will be found 10 be invested in
farm mortgages the stupendous sum of
s., 3,450, 100000, at rate of interest averaging
from seven to nine per. cent. to say nothing
of costs and the commissioners of agents
which have been taken from the farmers
for procuring the loans which may be said
to be not less, on the average, than seven
per cent. The mind at once does not take
in the results of these vast sums. To give
an illustration-the whole national debt of
this country in 1861 at the close of the war,
was 81, 00,000,000. He argued that these
farm mortgages and tho interest on them
would mover DO paid.
iuoN hhNe CycloHts odl Nest, uccOiu-
panied with thunder, lightning, heavy
rains and hail, which are very destructive.
Look out for a financial cyclone where no
building or institution will be strong and
tight enough to protect the business of
this country from the destruction which
will follow in its path.
True we have the silver bill now on the
tapis in Congress- But ii would take all
the silver that tho mints of the Unit ed
States can coin, at the rate of four and a
half millions II month, and all the silver
that the silver mines can produce in that
time, to pay one years interest on these
mortgages.
General Butler rjdiculed the project of
the government building storehouses and
loaning the farmer money on his garnered
crops. Who does not know that all these
certificates will be bought up by the brok ers;
and SO the spectators would control
futures with an iron hand, and the middle
men make all the profits, and the farmer
will thus sell his crop at once and pay the
interest on his mortgage, II he wants to pay
1t, which he probably doesn't very much,
and then starve for a year. Besides all
this property being safe in the custody OF
the United States, it would be free from
attachment for debts, and thus the govern
ment would become coverer up of the pro-
perty of fraudulent debtors.
When the bill was introduced into the
Senate that the government loan the farmer
81, 200, 600 TO relieve them from their fnan-
cial difficulties, he calculated that the full
amount would only pay two-thirds of a
mill on each dollar of Western farm mort
gage debts alone or, in other words, would
only pay the interest on those mortgages
for five days,

there are only two counties, schuyIkilI
and Allegheny, which pay more than
this. The law basing salary ON the
number Of schools, and therefore on the
work done, seems to be wise one, and
an increase In this line should be the
signal for general lifting Of the salaries
Of teachers, matter that Is not in the
hands of the convention but may be
Influenced by its action. We should
excel In quality as well "a quantity
of schools, and the way to get good
teachers IL to offer good salaries. The
excellence Of the city schools usually
contrasts strongly with those in the
country, but the latter may avoid the
pit into which the city educators
have fallen by trying TO cram
too much into the school course.
The county schools should give edu-
cation In the three RS as thoroughly
and easily as possible and that is often
task requiring high order OF ability
and qualities In the teacher that are
rare enough TO be well paid for. II has
become the fashion for outsiders tosnsel
at the intelligence and education Of ouI
county, and the best answer to thest
sneers is to perfect our schools.

Tho National Flower.

On Friday the children of the public

E1neasurable amount of sentiment was

How a Bunco steerer Was Caught.

Charles +. Morgan, a bunco steerer, was
on Friday in New York sentenced to two
and one-half years Imprisonment. The
trial developed some humorous points and
showed how Montana barber had got the
better of gang OF buncoers.
Richard Goebler came to New York from
Montana last fall with 81 $50. He fell into
the tolls OF Lew Davis gang of bunco
steerers, composed of Davis, George john
ston and Charles l.. Morgan, and was rob-
bed Of his money. The police failed to ar
rest the men, and, armed with warrants
and two big revolyers, Goebler arrested
them himself
The best of the story, however, rem aims
to be told. II appears that Morgan's family
raised the 81 $50, and gave it to Goebler on
his promise that he would not appear
against him. They also gave him 500 extra
cash, and, buying sl2o ticket for San
Francisco, put him on board train. But
Goebler got off at Chicago, blew in his mo-
ney and exchanged his ticket for one back
to New York Then he went to Morgan's
people, and demanded 5000 more aud O
ticket for Europe. They refused, and he
went into court and gave the evidence upon
which the bunco man was convicted.
