A REWARD OFFERED.
The Authorities still Trying to Capture
FIIleDrown.


Sheriff Kelley has issued circulars in
Denver offering a reward for the arrest
Of Fillebrown the alleged murderer of
Faulks. The circulars give a good
description of Fillebrown and mention a
scratch back of his right eye. probably
the result of a blow.
The last trace Of Fillebrown was that
he got on a freight train at Fort Collins
and was on his way to Denver. File
grown has a large number of relatives in
Denver and it is believed some of them
may be hiding him from the officers.
Kirkland has reproduced some pictures
of Fillebrown which will be cent through
the country.
The governor Yesterday offered a re-
ward of $500 for the arrest of Fillebrown,
which will greatly stimulate the search
and undoubtedly lead to his apprehension.
Fillebrown, however, already has a good
start and the authorities must get a move
or themselves or he may even yet slip
through their fingers.

1t is popularity supposed that poetry does
not pay. As a matter of fact the supply
of verse is greatly in excess of the demand,
and in very many cases poetry is not paid
for at all. There are, of course, a few sue
comes by their pen, but the number of
minor poets whose books are brought out
at a loss is considerable.
Even Tennyson had to wait for ten years
before the public demanded a second edi-
ton Of his first volume, and it was many
years before the public tool to Robert
Browning's books, the author having, in
the meantime, to bring them out at his
own expense. Wordsworth declared that
for nearly twenty years his poems had not
paid for his shoestrings, and Mrs. Brown
ing, after long experience, wrote, "In Eng
land no one lives by verse that lives"
Far and away the most successful poet,
in a ~pecuniary sense, is Lord Tennyson,
who is said to derive between $4,000 and
e., O00a year from his works. From Messrs.
ceived, on an average, q, 500 a year in roy
alties. Later, Messrs. Strahan & Co. paid
MIN 5000 for his works already in print,
which were to be published on commits
sion; and during the five years of the con
tract they paid him over 49t, 600. His next
publishers were Messrs. King & Co, whose
engagement was to pay $4,000 a year, with
a separate account for new works. Now
the laureate is in the hands of Messrs. Mac
milan & Co., who are reported to have
paid him e7OO for his Jubilee Ode. lion

The French quarter of this city shows
n surprising popularity. 1t is this: AT
least three out of every five Frenchmen
wear side whiskers. The general idea of a
Frenchman, with most people who have
not crossed the water is hat he is a slim
built, pale faced man, with a black waxed
mustache and goatee or a pointed beard.
A census of the French quarter will not
produce half a dozen of the type. A large
majority of the men are full faced, ruddy
fellows, with the prevailing style, as 1 said
above, Of clean, close shaven faces except
ing a little patch of bushy whiskers in
front Of each ear.
1 asked the proprietor of a Blocker street
restaurant, who himself looks more like
the comic paper pictures of beef eating
John Bull than the accepted Jean Crapaud
about this fact. To most people outside OF
France, he said, Paris stood for France,
and the customs and characteristics OF
Paris were taken as representative of all
France, which is far from being the truth.
Most of the Frenchmen in New York come
from the rural districts, with a sprinkling
from the cities of southern France, and to
one who knows can be readily distin-
guished from the dapper gentlemen who
hail from gay Paris.-New York Star.

AN EARLY DAY TRAGEDY.
Three Lives Sacrificed in the Depths of
"A Lonely Canyon.

Special Correspondence.
SARATOGA, Feb. l7.-While in the
curiosity shop OF A. II. Patton of this
place, | picked up a long, slender bone,
and was told that it was a ibula-the
small bone of the lower part of the leg of
the human body. A surgeon standing by
said that it was from the body OF a
woman. From him l learned that a man
came into his office one day, several years
ago, with a lot of bones in a sack, saying
that they had been found by him under
an immense rock. which had evidently
parted from the mountain side during
some CONFUSION of nature. From the
sack Of bones" continued the doctor, II

ings; also an old rusty gun barrel and a
Ratchet.
The spot where they were taken from
Is down the Platte river about twelve or
fifteen miles below Saratoga, in a wild,
rocky canyon. l found that there were
bones OF a man, woman and an unborn
infant in the heap. There is no doubt
in my mind but what some man and
woman-Indian or white l cannot tell
had taken shelter under this rock, per-
haps for the night, or from some passing
storm, and the rock by some means be-
coming displaced. settled down upon
them, either crushing them to death in
stantly or ~pInioning them so that a
lingering death from starvation ensued.
Here are some OF the bones of the in-
,faut-almost entirely decayed."
As | looked at the relics of departed
humanity my mind coniured up the scene
where these pathetic had met
their death. A wild and lonesome spot
1t is, with rocky walls, and huge piles Of
stone that tower upwards hundreds OF
feet Here IN this lonely defle had these
persons met their death. Ones mind
coniectures a thousand things in connec-
ton with a death so tragic, and around
which hangs such impenetrable mystery.

A pardon was granted yesterday by the
governor to Frank Weller who was con-
yicted OF forgery at the November term
of court and sentenced to fifteen months
imprisonment. The governor received a
petition signed by all parties interested in
the case including Senator Warren, whose
name had been forged to the check by
Weller. There was also a letter from
Judge Scott before whom the case was
tried. Weller is a mar of good education
and possesses considerable ability in the
newspaper line. His curse is drink and
it was while drunk that he committed the
forgeries. The imprisonment and dis.
grace have told upon his constitution and
because of all these facts Governor Barber
unhesitatingly granted the pardon.

The virtues of white %hoarhound are set
forth at leisure. Boiled with iris root till
the third part of the water is wasted, it is
good for old coughs and raises phlegm,
taken a spoonful when the cough comes
on. Stamp. e., pound-the leaves with
honey, and apply for agnails and swellings
about the nails or joints. The juice cleareth
the eyes and ldlleth worms in the ears, "
which was one of the minor plaques of
Queen Elizabeth's time and before. 'sAn
kinds of hoarhound are good for women to
battle in that have weak back or pains in
the legs. The diatilled water is good against
all scabs and wheales. For madness, stamp
houseleek and roses, equal parts, with
milk, and bind On the forehead and tenn
pies. Face swollen or scorched, rub it
twice or thrice a day with the juice of
houselesk. Juniper or the berries burned
driveth away all m beasts" like
mosquitoes, land all infection and corrup-
ton OF the air. Shirley Dare's Letter.

Feats of the Amazon Women.


The late king of Dahomey, Gelele, in
vited a missionary to witness a display
given by the Amazons on the military pa
rade ground to show their bravery.
About q hundred people were already as
sembled round the king, under a fine tent.
when l arrived. The prince rose at once
and came to meet me. and made me sit for
a short time at his side. Then, taking my
hand, he led me in person to examine the
military preparations. In a place set apart
for the maneuvers a rampant had been
erected, not of earth, but of bundles OF
prickly thorns, 400 yards long by IS feet
broad and 6 feet high.
Forty PAGES beyond the rampart and
parallel to it rose the framework of a
building also 400 feet long. but Is feet wide
and Is feet high. Its two sloping roofs
we're also covered with a dense layer of
prickly shrubs. Fifteen feet beyond this
strange building came a row Of huts. The
whole was in imitation of a fortified town,
the storming OF which would cost many
lives.
The Amazons, with their bare feet, were
to scale the rampant three times, descend
into the empty space which stood for the
fosse, climb up the building which repre-
scented a bristling citadel, and take the
town counterfeited hy the huts. Twice
driven back by the enemy, they were at the
third assault to be victorious. and as y
proof Of their success, to drag their prison
ers with them and throw them at their
monarch's feet. The first one to surmount
all the obstacles was to receive the reward
of her bravery from the kings own hands;
for" he said to me, military prowess is,
with us, the chief of virtues"
The missionary then proceeds to relate
how these lion hearted women hurled
themselves with incredible fury against
the cactus rampant, surmounted it, leaped
onto the thorn covered building, jumped
down again as IL thrust back by an oppos-
ing force. and returned three times to the
charge, all with such precipitation that the
eye could scarcely follow their movements.

FIRE In the house at the corner of Bracket
and Russell streets, owned by Mrs. John
Russell. Mr.. Gray pulled an alar.D from
box 8l3. The blaze was In room in the

which there had been fire during the
day. 1t was soon put out. but not until II
had done damage which may amount all
told to 500 or $500. The entire house was
filed with smoke, and this and the water
are responsible for much Of the loss. In
the room were several cases of valuable
books and the loss on them will probably
be heavy. Mrs. Russell had made ar
rangements to sell the furniture in the
house by auction today. The house has
