A HG0DLUM OUTRAGE.
4 Chinese WashhO Demolished
in Genoa.

I
in Gen0G.
On last Sunday night gang of
roughs demolished Chinese
washhouse in Genoa and beat the
inmates.
1t is claimed by leading resi-
dents Of the town that the attack
on the washhouse was wholly I'M
provoked and that one Of the
Chinaman, a cripple, was 30 badly
beaten over the head with a piece
of the stove which had been previ-
ously smashed--that his skull is
cracked and he is likely to die.
The parties who committed
the outrage belong to tie non
producing, lawless element of the
town and the better cl uses unite
in condemning tue entire aft iir.
1t is Gained that the trouble
grew out of an attempt somo
months ago to indict a Chinaman,
connected with the washhouse, for
selling liquor to an Indian. It
was claimed at the time that par
ties put up a job on the Chiuaman
70 make business for the Justice
Court and to secure a fee of SO.
The Grand Jury took this view of
the affair and refused to inoict.
This caused bad blood and the
jury were charged with being
sympathiZers with the Mongolians.
Subsequently, TO this Ii poor,
drunken fellow was given half
dollar and tod 10 purchase some
liquor for an Indian. He was
convicted for this offense and
sent to the penitentiary for one
ye4l.
On Sunday night the matter
was being discussed in a saloon
and it was held that it was an out
rage to ignore the bill against
the Cninaman and convict the
white man.
White the discussion was going
on, it was proposed to clean out
the Chinese washhJuse, and a
crowd went over and demolished
the building, beating the inmates
and cracking the skull of a China
man, said to be a cripple. For
some time past the hoodlums OF
the town have been in the habit Of
throwing rock. through the
windows and the inmates of the
house have been Obliged to board
the windows and barricade their
doors.
The particulars of the affair
have been forwarded to Consul
Bee at San Fran, isco, and the
Chinese will demand indemnity
from Douglas count y.

The accusation made agains
ex-Judge S. c. benson will not be
believed by his old friends and
neighbors in Sacramento, unless
more substantial evidence is
educed. Here is illustrated the
folly of ignoring the newspapers.
When Judge benson was accused
OF these terrible crimes, he must
have known that the men who
had taken the trouble to lie in
ambush for him and TO supply
themselves with reporter would
give the matter to the public. If
he had at once went to the different
newspaper offices and told his side
Of the story, the publishers would
have been only too glad to have
print ID it. The effect of that
ALLEGED confession could have been
broken 10y a sip ultaneous denial.
Even the paper that worked up
the original story could not have
denie space for a statement con-
tradicting the damaging allega
tions When a man is accused of
wrong he feels justified in denying
the charge to ali the friends he
meets. The most effectuaI way Of
reaching his friends is by talking
through the columns of the news

Fate Of Virgil A. Stewart.

{, A Texas correspondent of the st.
Louis Republic says: In your paper
of the Oath of March l notice a
sketch of the great robber, John A..
Murrell, from correspondent of a
Philadelphia paper, in which he
states the betrayer of Murrell was
named Ovid Stewart, which is q
mistake. His name was Virgil A.
Stewart. Your correspondent says
that Stewart was at the battle Of
San Jacinto in 1885, and after that
disappeared. and it is supposed that
he fell a victim to the vengeance OF
some Of Murrell's friends, which is
also mistake.
l moved to this county in 1858,
and found Stewart here, and he was
then considered one Of the early
settlers of the county. He was

Who Was CrmsusP


Crmsus was the King Of Lydia, 2
state in Asia Minor, and assembled
the throne about 562 B. C. his
name has ever been synonym for
wealth, "as rich as Cresus" having
been a proverb from his own time,
but the most liberal estimates of his
property, so far as descriptions of
it have come down to US, make It
worth, in our money, about $1O,-
600, 900. His riches we're derived
from gold mines near Sardis. the
capital of Lydia. and from the plum
der of enormous surrounding states.
The kingdom Of Lydia was overrun
by Cyrus, the Persian conqueror,
and according to the best authori-
ties. Cresus was taken prisoner and
kept in the train of Cyrus. The

Progress and Poverty.

The cause of poverty is found in
the monopolization of natural boun-
ties, private control of railroads,
contraction of the currency and the
unjust apportionment of burdens
and rewards.
According to the tenth census the
average yearly earnings of Ameri-
can labor. decreased from little
more than 500 in 1870 to a little
more than $500 in 1880, yet the
wealth of the nation increased dur
ing that period more than billion
dollars a year.
In 1850 the farmers of this ma
ton owned three-fifths of it's wealth,
in 1880 they owned but one-third
of it's wealth, and to-day they own
but one-ffth of it's wealth. Yet the
farmers are still paying the 80 per
cent of the taxes paid by them in
1850. The farmers of proud Iowa
have sold their products at a loss
since 1880, except when other west
ern states suffered universal failure,
and the mortgage Indebtedness on
the homes in Iowa now aggregate

Obsolete Punishment for Women.

Funeral Expenses Of Congressman.

A reference to the accounts of the
Secretary of the Senate shows that
the largest expenditure ever made
for the funeral of member of Con-
gress was a little more than Sc, 600,
paid for the funeral of Senator Mil
Ter of California. And the estimated
cost of the Hearst funeral, which
was on a slightly more elaborate
scale, is $4,000. But the Hearst
funeral will probably not serve as
an illustration Of the extravaganza
Of the Senate, because Mrs. Hearst,
before the departure of the funeral
party for the Pacific Coast, an
nounced that all the expenses of the
trip would be paid out of the estate
of the dead Senator. The only diff
Guilty in the way of carrying out
Mrs. Hearst's idea is that the trip
is in charge of the Sergeant-at-arms
of the Senate, who is authorized to
pay it's expenses, and there may be
some technicalities to overcome in
the matter of refunding the money.

Learning to Walk.

People sometimes ask: At what
age can we set child in chair;
when put him on his legs; how old
must he be before we teach him to
walk? The answers are easy. He
must not be made to sit till he has
spontaneously sat up in his bed and
has been able to hold his seat. This
sometimes happens in his sixth or
seventh month, sometimes later.
The sitting position is not without
danger, even when he takes it him.

him, it tires the backbone and may
interfere with the growth, 50 the

and let him play in freedom, roll,

The Joker Nugget.

No one who was on the fild at the
time viii forget the excitement that
was aroused when the "Joker" mug
get was found at Teetulpa. No
other has yet been obtained on Tee
tulpa that can equal it in weight.
It turned the scale at thirty ounces
and was bought by the government
for the sum of 912O. In size and
shape it resembled mans hand
it was thick at the wrist part and
tapered off toward the fingers.
The claim had been a good one
from the first, and the owner was
one of the wealthy men of Teetulpa.
So on this day, reclining at full
length, leaning on one arm, the man
searched for nuggets. He made a
sweep with his knife to push back
some of the gravel, and his eye
caught sight of the "Joker." He at
once covered it with his hand and
sat up, rather wondering how he
would secure his treasure without
being seen. If the find became
known every man in the field would
tramp to the spot and invade his
claim, and so prevent him working.
A man in the adjoining claim
looked up. "Found anything?' he
asked.

"Here you are, mate. But what's
the matter? You look pale. Don't
you feel right?"
"I'm all right; only the sun is
a bit hot"
He was struggling with an insane
desire to laugh; but he got his coat
over the nugget and seated himself
on the top of it. Then laughter
overpowered him and he became
hysterical. Those about him won
dered, but thought the sun had
affected him. In a little while he
gained his composure and decided
to go to his tent. In lifting his
coat he managed to take up the
lump of gold, and no one knew
that he had found anything.
It was not until ten days had
passed that the fact was noised
abroad, and even then few knew
the claim whence the ''Joker came.
