The young woman. who is a petite and progressing person. told her story which was in the main points substantiated by the defendant. He admitted having struck her, whip ped her with ramrod and otherwise maltreated her, but was inclined to to the belief that he was justified on the grUundei being aggravated by her It was the opinion of those who heard the testimony today that he ought tc be given about 30 Iashes.

An Interesting Letter From A,Well Known Citizen
 OfCOChiSe County.
ZoPorLAN, State of Jaliseo,

.e. JuIN Sptns lcJl. ED. PRosPEcroR = Before leaving Colima we had the pleasure of wit messing two phenomenss, viz a show CT Of ice in the tropics and volcanic eruption. ...
 On July l4th the greatest hail storm ever known to Colima played havoc among the fruits and flowers for at least half an hour. The hail stones were more than an inch in dia- meter and fell wlth great force.
 2 On July 24th the volcano de Colima for years having been silent, burst forth and shot clouds of smoke and flame seemingly miles into the sky, which lasted for hours. ...
 The trip from Colima to Zopotlsn is not pleasant to contemplate as the latter is the most famous spot in the republic for The banditti. The distance between the two cities is thirty leagues through the mountains and can be made only on horseback.
 On the 25th l procured guide and a negro and set out. l put in the first night at the the great sugar fac tory of San Marcos where We were hospitably entertained by Senor Don Daniel Ochos, who recently purchased this beautiful estate at cost oi S5O0,- 900 and is turning out 5000 tons of sugar annually.
 In this mountain retreat the Don has erected 8 besatiiul residence and quarters for his 800 men he keeps constantly employed. All his build ings are lighted with electricity.
 We took the saddle early in the morning and half hours ride brought us to the Baranca Beltran-so called from the fact that Beltran was the captain of a famous gang oi bandits, some hundred years ago, and this heavily timbered baranca or gorge was his fayorite retreat.
 There are seven of these barsncas to dross but the Barauca Beltran is the widest of them. Standing on the brink of this great chasm ones head fairly whirls to watch the swift river directly under you some 800 feet down. I. IS only about 500 feet wide. We form nineteen loops on one side and sixteen on the other going down and up the almost perpendicular banks. All these curves are paved with stone.
 Zopotlan has about 10000 inhabit- ants and is situated on the borders of 8 large lake five miles across. The lake is bordered with pine trees and grain fields. ....
 The brigand is still feared and the police are in constant dread and dare not Iesye the center of the city unless four or five go together. Two police men were killed month ago because they got too far from home quarters. A policeman to be safe has to stand in with the brigsndage as well as the municipality.
 One man was recently killed for re- sistihg the brigands, and another, an American, robbed of everything, even clothing, and given pair of old draw CTS and a shirt to enter the city of Colims with. A peon is never hurt unless he resists- People travelling through sis section should get ex- change from town to town which is easily procured from the main busi ness houses, and pack two or threedd- lars for probable attack.

Proclamation.

MAYORS OFFICE, CRY OF WA-KEENEY, }
KANSAS. +
May %, 1891.
A patriotic people will not forget to
commemorate the great events of their
history.
The 3Oth day Of May is our National
Memorial day. The restoration of a
dismembered Union; the final overthrow
of American slavery; the establishment
of our National dominion demanded and
received of patriotic citizens, sacrifice
of life, the memory of which grateful
people can never too zealously perpet-
uate nor too sacredly revere. 1t is fitting
that the people put aside their ordinary
pursuits, and assemble for the public
observance of Memorial day.
Therefore I, George M. Uford, mayor,
do hereby recommend that all places of
business in the city be closed between
the hours of 1870 a. m. and 100 p. NJ,
and that all citizens display flags and
bunting, upon their residences and places
of. business on that day, and attend in
mass the public services incident thereto,
conducted under the auspices of the
Grand Army of the Republic.

Mrs. Carson at Manhattan,

Manhattan has the honor of having
held ten Demorest medal contests dur
ing the winter. Nine were for silver
medals, and the last for golden prize.
To Mrs. E. D. Carson, of Wa-Keeney,
we are indebted for the patient, persever-
ing work necessary to prepare for these
ten contests. She began training her
classes December II, and closed her work
March 10.
Mrs. Carson drilled ninety-four pupils
in elocution, eighty children in marching,
held seventy special children's meetings
for instructions in singing, furnished
badges and certificates for one hundred
of the legion, and assisted in taking
pledges from seventy eight children.
She also aided in organizing a colored
union. The foregoing is brief sum-
mary of her work in figures; but no
numerical statement can in any measure
express the value of those recitations to
the people of this city.
Mrs. Carson's work received many
concentrations from many sources, and
they were richly deserved.

Today Is Decoration day. Once moro
the people Of prosperous nation, made
prosperous by its citizen soldierv. are
called upon to pay q fitting tribute Of 10
spect to the men who yielded up their
lives that that the American flag, bright
emblem of beauty and glory, might ever
float over the Union-a government OF.
for and by the people. It is the right and
duty of every loyal citizen OF the great
Republic, on this occasion to lay aside
his daily work and participate in the
exercises, thus showing respect and rev.
erence for the memory of the men, who,
for more than four years, subjected them
selves to the wind, snow, rain and heat,
and the privations, hardships, dangers
and sufferings incident to cruel war, in
order to preserve and purify with their
life blood, the constitution founded by
the fathers Of our country-the fathers Of
universal liberty and equal rights to all.
The observance Of this day on an elabo-
rate scale inspires the youth with pat
riotism and love Of country, and neglect
to duly honor it on the part of those
mature in years and rich in the blessings
of mighty Nation, would certainly be
evidences Of ingratitude. Do your part,
and remember as you strew your flowers,
that beneath them lie the only noblemen
of our republican form of government
those whose own deeds have made them
such in the hearts of our people.

Decoration day is not to be monopo-
lied by members OF the Grand Army OF
the Republic. All soldiers for the Union
are equal participants, as well as all
citizens, male and female, old and young,
who cherish the memory of those who
have gone to their reward. It is hoped
that all within reach will participate in
the exercises of Memorial Day, May 30.
