From the Century Magazine.
THE farmers who are misled into fa-
voring the scheme think that they would
receive at once loan of 80 per cent. OF
the full value Of their crop at only 1 per
cent. interest, but they would pay much
more than that. The warehousing, in
surance and other expenses for cotton,
for example, are usually between 8 and 8
per cent. of its value. This would have
to be paid to the government, and would
bring the interest up to 8 or 10 per cent.
What farmer would receive would be a
loan for one year from the government
at the rate of or 10 per cent. OF a sum
amounting to four-ffths of the total
value OF his crop paid to him in money
of uncertain value"

in Uruguay.
MoNTEvIDEo, Oct. 13.-The revolutions
lists who Sunday evening attempted to
create a serious disturbance here, have
failed in their designs, The rioters were
members of revolutionary club who
expected to be able to suborn the artil-
lery corps Of the garrison and take pos
session OF the city.
The conspirators fired upon the loyal
troops and expected, at this signal, that
the artillery would join forces with them.
In this they were disappointed. The ar
tillerymen remained true to their colors
and the conspiracy failed.
The leaders OF the revolutionary move
ment are now confined in prison and it is
expected will be summarily dealt with.
In the exchange of volleys which took
place between the revolutionist and loyal
troops six men were killed and seven
wounded.
Fifty-two persons, including the ring
leaders of the conspiracy, are held in Gus
tody. The uprising has been effectually
quelled and today quiet prevails in Uru-

FOUND IN A CLEFT.
4 Stccd and His Rider Who Had Been
Hidden Tn re- for Years.

Henry Martin, who resides up In the di-
rection of Antelope Basin, W. T., recently
came across ghastly relic of carly days
which might well form the foundation for
tale Of frontier Life.
He was out prospecting in a wild and
broken part Of the country, where In the
midst of an elevated plateau il is not yn.
common to suddenly find oneself on the
brink of crevasso or cleft in the rock. a
plunge down which would inevitably prove
fatal, says the Larmie Bo0nerdnge. II was
in examining one of these strange openings,
formed during some tremendous convulsion
of the earth ages ago, that Mr.. Martin saw
pinned between the adamantine walls far
below him the whitoned bones of man and
horse. He made crcuitous journey
around the hill which brought HIM to
where IL was possible TO enter the narrow
gorge and by difficult climbing over ragged
powders TO reach the skeletons. He eau
tiously picked his way through for dis
tance of several hundred feet, and AT
length reached the object which had OK.
cited his curiosity. There was no doub
from the position of the animal and his
rider that they had plunged hcadlong &c
their death iiaor whilo beng pursued or in
some mad ride which did not leave time &c
check themselves on the brink of the yawn
ing chasm.
The man must have been fully six feet Ii
height, and between fifty and sixty years
of agc, the latter supposition being estab-
lished by the fact that he had during life
lost some of his teeth and the bone had
grown over the cavities afterward
The skull showed q rather intelligent
forehead, the cheok-bones were prominent
and the general shape Of the head indicated
that the bones were those of a Mexican.
This theory was confirmed by the further
discovery of q rich Mexican sombrero, with
heavy gold trimmings, all In Q good state of
preservation.
The skeleton was found In a perpendicular
position. the head downward and tightly
pinned between the two walls of rock. Tho
rider had fallen from his steed and the
bones of the latter were similarly suspended,
but twenty feet further up.
In little basin III the foot OF the gorge
was discovered copper plate about six
inches square, and, strangest OF all, plug
of tobacco of apparently ancient manufact-
ure, but seemingly as perfect as when tue
dead man had put it in his pocket to solace
him in his lonely ride across the hills.
