Killed q Cougar with a Rock,


Last Saturday, while Jasper Grinsley and W
P. Wells, OF Toutle, were coming to the Rock
over the trail between here and silver lake and
about hall way up the mountain, they espfed a
young cougar up tree Neither one having a
gun, and there being good many small rock
close at hand, they at once commenced trying
their skin IS marksmen by throwing stones al
It. Both men threw rocks without anv effect
until they were almost tired out and concluded
% throw just one more stone and Quit" Mr..
Wells picked up rock about the size OF a mans
hand and with dead aim he let it CO. striking
the cougar square Oetween the eyes, knocking 2
him out Of the tree, and, before he could recover
from The iell and the blow he received from the
rock, they beat him 70 death with club while
he was foundering around on the ground.
Both gentlemen feel satisfied that the blow
from the rock would have killed him, but they
we've going 10 be sure OF their game so they
pouaced upon him with clubs and when thew
got through there was not much left bat ths
hide and hair.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE LOSING
ITS "ISSUEs."

The education of discussion is likely to
be the death of the Farmers Alliance as
an effective third party long before the ma
tional election of 1892. Already the land
loan and sub-treasury schemes have been
repudiated by the South and Southwest,
and is sure TO be at the North, for its es-
sential viciousness and unreason is so
great as to constitute death IN its clothes.
The Alliance opposition of the sub-treasury
scheme at the South is voiced by Governor
Northen, of Georgia. who says:
am absolutely opposed to class legislation or
government relief to any business or class of
citizens not accorded TO all other business and
classes OF citizens.
Senator Carlisle, of Kentucky, punctured
the Alliance bubble in another spot when
he discussed the impracticability of gov
eminent ownership of railroads, telegraph
and telephone lines, unless its advocates
were prepared to conhscate the property
of all existing corporations, for the cost of
their purchase would create an enormous
addition to the public debt and vast in
crease in the present great army of Federal
minor officials. Senator Carlisle said
The railroads. telegraphs telephone lines and
steamboats, in the country represent about

FULLER AND HIS BOOM.

And he is oursi IT'S wonderful, but true.
He used to live here, on the avenue,
To argue with Judge Bokus at the bar,
And ride about town on a cable car,
And stop at Jobson's place for a cigar,
Aud in barber shop talk with his friends,
And get his hair cut (only at the ends).
1t msttered not at all whom he was with;
He'd talk with Russell or with General Smith,
Or any other person at the club,
And even an outsider wouldn't snub,
He was so affable. It was his way.
He's ours, and we are for him all! Hoorayi
Let carping Dana jeer at his mustache.
Dana may go TO everlasting smash!
Let captious jurists of his law make sport,
Great Scott! Did he not practice in our court?

Death Of Henry S. Walker.

Hon. Henry S. Walker, one of the

Sensational FlstiCuffs.

A very sensational scene, in which
two Of the most prominent men In
this State were the chief actors, oc-
Cured last Thursday on the sidewalk
in front Of the city hall in Wheeling.
1t was hsticuff, and blood was drawn.
Hon. w. p. Hubbard, the late Repub-
lican candidate for Congress and who
ran on the Republican State ticket in
1888 for attorney general, and Hon.
William II. Hearne, also a leading Re-
publican politician, both gentlemen
being lifelong friends, were the par
Elephants in the sanguinary encounter.
The gentlemen are opposing counsel
in a lawsuit pending in the circuit
court, and the contest has been so bit
ter that bad feeling has been en-
gendered About 10 o'clock the two
gentlemen met at the place mentioned
above, and became involved III a
heated discussion of the case. What
passed between them is unknown,
but suddenly Mr.. Hearne was observed
to strike Mr.. Hubbard under the right
eve with his fist. Mr. Hubbard was
staggered, but rallied, and the two
men clinch4d.
Efforts of bystanders to interfere
were unsuccessful, as both the pugi-
lists are powerful men, and it was a
fight TO finish. Hearne got in sec
ond blow and drew first blood. The
claret spurted from his distinguished
opponents nose. Then Hubbard put
a powerful one on Mr.. Hearne's eye,
decorating it a beautiful dark blue.
Mr.. Hearne was knocked down and
Hubbard was winner. The affair is
GREETED, as the gentlemen are extreme
~ popular aud have been close politi
cal friends, and are leaders OF their
party in the State.

THE NEW WAY.

new style of procedure is becom-
ing very popular in the trial of crimi-
nal cases 1t is, in brief. to so work
upon the jury by an ostentatious dis
play of family affection that the men
who have sworn to render u verdict
according to the law and evidence
are constrained to decide the case as
their sympathies dictate. The dan
ger of the thing may be readily seen.
II murderers are to go unpublished and
scoundrels unwhipt OF justice because
soft hearted men are sorry for the
families that have been disgraced,
then our institutions are indeed In
peril.
4 case i'm point is that OF Thornton
Hains's trial for the murder OF Ed
ward Hannegan last week. The law
and evidence were strongly against
the defendant, but the young man s
father and mother-most excellent
and exemplary persons-attended the
daily sessions of the court, and it is
morally certain that the tears and
sobs of the mother and the evident
emotion of the father had much more
effect upon the jury than the most di-
rect evidence Of the prisoners guilt,
Imam Illinois courtroom recently a
man who had killed a companion for
money was surrounded during the
trial bv his entire family, and the
more damaging the testimony the
greater were the demonstrations OF
grief on the part Of his relatives. The
shrieks of women proved more etfec-
tive than the law, and the villain got
off scot free.
A typical Bowery tough on trial in
New York the other day for burglary,
sat in the hall of justice with baby
on each knee and with several other
children playing about his feet, his
wife displaying violent emotion near
by. The bullet headed ruffian was
not used to fondling his children, how
ever and his attempts at posing as
loving father were so clumsy and the
device so apparent that he soon got
what he deserved.
As before stated, this scheme is be
coming very popular, for it is the
means of saving many rascal from
the galiows or the penitentiary.
There is apparently no limit to the
game, and a remedy for the evil, we
confess, is hard to find. 1t seems hard
to deprive a man of the sympathy oil
friends in his time of trouble, yet the
punishment Of evil-doers is an alb
solute necessity il our laws are to be
maintained and society protected.
Mich depends upon the faithful
and unbiased administration Of justice.

One Hundred Miles an Hour.

III the new engine | am about to
have constructed is not capable of
making 100 miles an hour, I'll give her
away to the first person meet
This astounding statement was
ards, the master mechanic of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad,
who was exhibiting to party of
deeply interested persons the draw
ings for a locomotive which, il sue
cessful, is almost sure to revolutionize
the construction of the high-speed To-
comotives of the future. Mr.. Rich
ards, WHO is recognized all over the
United States as having no peer in
knowledge concerning locomotives
and railroad machinery, has been
working on his latest invention for
the past ten wears, and q few days
ago the drawings were completed and
the patent was applied for.
The new invention will enable
gigantic stride to be taken in the mat
ter of higher speed locomotives, and,
il the new fly er is as successful as ex
perts predict she will be, it is more
than likely that the time between
Philadelphia and New York will be
made in less than an hour. A speci-
men engine will be built for exhibit
ton at the Worlds Fair, and the trial
trip will be made between here and
that city.
In outward appearance the new To-
connective will not differ materially
from the speedy engines now used on
the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road between this city and New York.
The popularity of construction lies
in the fact that instead of the two
cylinders as used at present there will
be four. One cylinder will be To-
Gated on each side of the locomotive
frame as at present, and the other
| two will be cast in what is known as
the cylinder saddle. The inside pair
| of cylinders are to be in one place,
and will lie OH an angle The outside
| cylinders are to be horizontal as at
present. The four cylinders will en-
| tirely overcome what is known to ell
gineers as the dead centre, and the
engine will be perfectly balanced
without any counter-balance in the
wheels. This latterimprovement will,
| to u large degree, do away with the
vicious pounding which has proven
so destructive to modern road beds.
The perfect balancing of the engine
will be largely due to the working Of
| the two cylinders SO near her centre,
and these same cylinders, working
as they do, from such central point
of vantage will help out in the matter
Of speed to great degree.
According to the experts who have
examined the drawings, the valve
motion is perfect. There will be four
valves-one to each cylinder-and
they will be operated by two links,
the same as now used for two cylin-
ders. The engine is designed to be
built on the Wooton fire box, the
same as is now used on the famous
'2O8,n which made a mile in the re-
markable time of 80 40 seconds on
August 81. The ordinary speed OF
the destined world beater will be
eighty-fve miles an hour. --Philadetpdaa

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that il by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
