A Rich Find.

Extract from letter from A.
HARRISON of Fresno City, Cal to
his brother-in-law, Il. Wolgamott,
of this city.
"M e are having something new
under the sun in Fresno IN the
way of petrifed man. There
was couple of men over in the
Coast Range, in the Centura Can
yon, went to thlow dam
across the Centura creek, and in
digging struck, as they supposed,
stone, but on digging further it
proved to be the foot of mar.
This led to further investigation
and after digging sometime they
exhumec: we'll developed man,
perfect in every particular. The
earth over the head was about s
feet deep He was lying ON his
back with his left hand on his
breast near the throat, the right on
his stomach. His eyes and Liz 8
were closed very nicely. He
measured 6 feet II inches and
weighs 535 pounds. One of the
men wanted to cover the body and
leave 1T there but the other man
wanted to bring it to Fresno. A
neighhor offered them $40 for the
body and one of them wanted to
take it but the other refuse l. So
they started to Fresno. On the
way they offered to sell him
to man for S100, but he would
not give it. On reaching Fresno
the news spread rapidly and peo-
pie focked in to see it. They put
it in one room of a Drugstore and
charged 25 cents a sight. They
cleared over hundred dollars
every day. Mr.. Berry, Proprie-
tor of the Central Hotel offered
$4,000, for one third interest but
was refuse. and WIS afterw ard
sold to Messrs P. and J. Donihu
for $4,000 cash. They will exhib-
it along the coast for some time
and then start east. Nothing can
be said as to his race or how long
he had been there. Should they
ever come to Kirksville, don't fail
to see it as it is we'll worth the
money"

A New Pu blicatlon

We haye just received the
fourth annual edition of the
Newspaper Manual" of Reming-
ton Bros, of Phila., which ap-
pears in greatly enlarged form
and is now ore of the most concise
convenient and reliable works of
its kind.
The general arrangement of
this useful book remains unalter-
ed, but an important and valuable
edition has been made, for where
as previous issues only contained
complete lists of several states, in
the present additions are included
all newspapers published in the
United States and Canada. The
publishers have taken advanta ye
of this new feature to clothe their
book in a handsome cover.
The contents include complete
lists of all newspapers in the
United States and Canada with
their days of issue, politics and
circulations and properly classiti-
ed lists of the principal dailies and
weeklies and the best agricultural,
religious, scientific and trade pub
lications and leading magazines.
All the lists are catalogued by
towns in alphabetical order aud in
the general list the estimated pop
ulation is given of each town and
of the county in which it is locat
ed.
We have tested the accuracy of
the Manual and find it singularly
free from errors.
To advertisers especially it
must prove invaluable, containing
as it does every particular neces.
sary tor the general description OF
each newspaper and SO arranged as

ern Alliance is a secret organlza-
ton, while the northern is entirely
open, there being no secret work
in connection with any of its meet
ings. In so far as it enters upon
cooperative work, its business af-
fairs come under the rule of all
business matters. Naturally the
southern Alliance draws the color
line, allowing, however, state or
CARNATIONS in northern states to
do as they see fit about admitting
negroes, but, as we understand it,
no colored man can be admitted
from any state into The supreme

The southern Alliance is dis

Another COMMITTEES, including Messrs.

to the scope of tho land bill, and 10 is i'm.
probable that the measure will be so ex-

presentation on the meeting OF parlia-

information as to whether the government
will adhere to the practice established for a

taking full advantage of the septennial

aged 46. an escaped lunatlc and a native of
Glenn's Falls, Warren county. Wilson had
escaped previously from the Middletown
and Utica asylums. He was very strong
and Of light complexion. Wilson, after
short terms in the insane asylums, had been
discharged as cured. or escaped. He had
generally celebrated his freedom by max
ing attempts TO kill some one who refused
to meet his demands for money Several
years ago he attempted to kill man whom
he asked for money to Set him up in bnsi-
ness. On another occasion when w. j.
Arkell was in Albany, Wilson made de-
fnand on him and even attempted
TO assault him in his Office He
has also threatened the life of
Goodwin Brown, one Of the state lunacy
commissioners. 1t was loss Of money which
made him crazy. Wilson was arrested here
about year ago for threatening TO kill
some one.
