A Dodge of His Own.

Daring crowd the other day a very
solid man was pushing his way through
the mass of humanity, when he en-
countered a pale, thin young man with
the look of a consumptive. The big man
did not swerve hair, and the thin
young mans elbow, which was held out
at an angle, took him in the left side.
The big man gave gasp, followed by
curse, and nearly lost his balance, while
the other passed on as cool as ice. He
had turned aside to gaze into window
when the big man came up and said:
"Friend, want to feel of your right
elbow, the one you gave me dig with
back there"
so, certainly" was the reply as the
elbow was extended.
"Why-why-it' hard as ironm
eyes, it is iron That is, have an
iron cap made for it, just a fit, as you
see, and padded with flannel. It's an
invention of my own. Haven't long to
live and don't want to surrender any of
my rights and privileges. You are mum.

RUINED CITIES OF YuCATAN.
Vast and Splendid Remnants of Magnificent
Architecture.

Vast and Splendid Remnants of Magnificent
Architecture.
There are between sixty and seventy
ruined cities in Yucatan. so far as they
have been discovered. Within a radius
of 100 miles from Merida are such mag
nifcent examples as Mayasan, AXE,
Chichen-Itza, Rabah and Labna, but
none is more interesting and grand than
UXmal. about seventy-siX miles by road
travel from Merida. by far the finest
building in the city, both from its COM
manding position on lofty eminence
and the completeness of its preservation,
is the ROYAL Palace, otherwise known
as the Casa de Gobernador in Spanish.
1t stands on the topmost of three ter
races of earth-once, perhaps faced
with stone, b. now crumbled. broken
and in state of heterogeneous
decay. The lowermost and largest
is 575 feet long: the second 545
long, $50 wide and p feet high,
while the third and last is 800 feet in
length. 30 in breadth, and 10 in height,
and supports the building, which has a
front of 322 feet, with a depth of only
30 and a height of but 25 feet. 1t is en-
u
height of about ten feet, where there is
Il wide cornice, above which the wall is
n bewildering maze of sculpture. The
roof was fiat and once covered with ce-
ment, in the opinion of some travellers,
but is now covered with tropical plants,
trees and verdure, There are three
large doorways through the eastern
wall about eight feet square, giving en-
trance into series of apartments, the
largest of which is sixty feet long and
twenty-seven deep, divided into two
rooms by II thick wall. The ceiling of
each room is triangular arch, capped
hy fiat blocks at height of twenty
three feet above the floor. The latter,
like the walls and iambs of the door
way, is of smooth-faced stones that may
have once been covered with cement

Third DaY.


GALLON, O., Jan. 22.-At the morning
session two reports were again sub
mitted by the committee on resolutions.
John Seitz presented the minority re-
port and Alfred Whitaker defended the
majority report. The reports are as
follows:
Majority report-We demand that Congress
proviGe and maintain currency at not less
than $50 per capita, and that SAID currency be
issued without the Intervention OF national
banks.
Minority report-We demand the issuance of
a fun loT1l tender money without the inter
ventio, banks, TO place such money in the
hands the people we demand that 1t be
loaned directly to the people at two per cent
on ten l0) years time on land security, eXclu-
sive OF improvements in sums not exceeding
5000 to any one person.
The majority report was adopted.
The resolutions were then read by
sections and every clause adopted eX-
cept two, the first as follows Re
solved, That from the fact that all rail
road companies existing in the State of
Ohio. exist by chartered rights given
them by the people, and as they receive
| protection under our State laws we look
upon these corporations as u partner
| ship existing between them and the peo.
pie in which the people of the State of
Ohio have the larger interest. We
therefore believe that the comfort,
the convenience and the best interests
of all the people of the State of Ohio
can be served by reducing the present
| high railroad passenger fares to one
cent per mile on roads whose gross earn
ings exceed $4,000 per mile, one and one
half cents per mile for roads whose
gross earnings exceed 81, 800 per mile,
and two cents per mile for roads whose
gross earning are S2. 600 per mile"
This clause was stricken out and the
following substitute was inserted in
stead. 1--WE demand such reduction
in railroad rates for transportation o1
freight as will correspond to the depre'
citation in farming lands and farm prod
ucts, and that passenger rates be re
duced to two cents per mile"
The second clause, which Is as fol
lows, was stricken from the resolution
"We demand the government owner
ship OF the entire railroad system anC
the telegraph system OF the Unitet
States"
The income tax clause was discussed
at some length
The following clause was added ant
the resolutions as presented yesterday
were adopted, excepting only the TIVE
clauses mentioned above:
1"Rssolusd, That we ask for the passage OF
game law that gives the ownership OF game L
} the owner OF the land on which 1t is found"
The message from August Post, re
ouesting a message to be forwarded t.

a Fight Looked For.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The situation,
as summed up at the Interior department
today, is about as follows; There are in
all about 10000 Sioux Indians, men,
women and children, on the Northern
reservations. OF this number l6. 900 are
accounted for, as they are living on the
reservations in peace, and not taking any
part in the present disturbance. This
leaves about $500 men, women and chill
dren to face the 5000 men now under
command of Gen. Mics. The hostile
campi is located seventeen miles north ofthe
agency, and q Gordon OF troops surrounds
it, with the exception of the south side,
the object being to drive them into the
reservation. There is constant communi
cation between the hostile camp and the
agency. The hostiles are well supplied
with beet. but they have no sugar or
coffee, except as they are supplied by the
''friendlies." While the situation is re.
garded as hopeless for the Indians, yet it
is bell wed they have no intention of sur
rendering, 1t is predicted by some who
are on the ground that there will be a
battle on Sunday or Monday. When the
hopelessness OF fighting against such odds
is pointed out, the only explanation is
that the Indians are crazy" From the
reports received at the interior depart
ment, the situation appears to be intense,
and the people at the agencies are very
much disturbed.

s,kin a,uftIne on a Foot,

The delicate operation of skin grating
was performed in st. Mary's hospital at
Astoria. The patient was Ole Anderson,
who had his left foot badly crushed at
the jetty. The skin from the ankle down
the side Of the foot for the space of four
81 five inches square was torn off and
the flesh left exposed. From the leg Of
Anderson several strips were taken, but
not enough to " the space necessary.
Another patient offered to lend An
derson a little section of his cuticle. The
offer was accepted and from the patients
arm enough was taken to complete this
operation, and four out of the six new
pieces are growing nicely, and iua short
time Anderson will have "a skin all over
his injured foot.-Portland O~regonian

LINCOLN. Jan. S.-The proceedings at
today's session of the legislature were less
stormy than those of yesterday. The Al
lance men had cooled down considerably
and when the lieutenant governor took
the chair in the joint assembly no opposi-
ton was offered. The returns Of the last
election we're canvassed and the Demo
cratic governor, BOYD, and the remainder
of the state ticket all Republican, de
clared elected. A resolution was then
passed, receiving the full AlllaHce vote.
declaring the canvass was conducted I'M
der protest and that the legislature II no
wise recognized the election of the of
ticers who had been returned. They
were, however, promptly sworn in 10y the
chief Justice. The Alliance con.
test will now go on rs prescribed
BY law. Matters were further
complicated this evening when Governor
elect Boyd called on Governor Thayer and
the latter informed him that he (Thayer)
would not give uD the office on the ground
that Boyd was not a citizen of the United
States. GoYernor Thayer has barricaded
himself IN the executive office with police
and a company of militia on guard. 1t is
understood that he will remain governor,
it possible. until all the questions affect
ing his successor are settled. Boyd'S
father. it will be remembered, came to
this country from ireland while Boyd was
a minor. lie took out his first papers,
but never perfected his citizenship. and
his sou was never naturalized. IL il
claimed, therefore. that he is Ineligible to
nnino
