A Curious Apache Belief.

The Apache Indians religious belief
prevents them from committing murder
in the dark. If a dozen Apaches should
discover a man sleeping by his camp fire
at night no amount of money would hire
them to attack him until the SUI came
up. They believe that if they kill a man
at night their own souls will walk in
eternal darkness forever. Knowing this
curious superstition, hunters, scouts,
trappers and others travelling through
the Apache nation move about during
the night and lay by in some safe retreat
during the day.-St. Louis Republic.

means either nasal catarrh or bronchitis.
Nasal eatarrh is often helped by snuff

day. Where the disease is very persist

The fact that many of the houses of
Portland, Or, and San Francisco are
built of redwood is given as a reason for
the few destructive fires that occur IN
those cities. The wood is almost unin-
fammable, and, though a fire will smol-
der in it, it nev blazes. The great OBJ
lection to the use of this wood in the
eastern states is that it will not stand the
alterations of heat and cold.

PRICE OR COTTON.
Southern Planters Now Organ
izing to Keep 1t Up
BY Holding Back a Portion of
the Present Crop.

The Proposed Project Has Received tho
Sanction of Several Leading Alliance
Oficers-Trust Companies to BE Organ
lied in Each County in the Cotton Belt.
How 1t VIII Work.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 22.-An i'm
portant scheme, the object of which is
to save the present crop of cotton from
being sacrificed, has been formulated in
this city, and will at once be pushed
throughout this and all other cotton
growing states.
E. NJ Steuber, prominent farmer
near Columbia, is the author of the
plan, which has already received the
sanction of leading Alliance officers,
and special meeting of the Richland
county Alliance has been called to take
steps to put the scheme into operation.
1t is proposed that trust companies
with a capital of $4,000 or $3.50, 900 each
be found in each county in the entire
cotton belt, and receive as subscription
to the capital one-third of the cotton
crop made by each cotton raiser in the
country.
1t is proposed to bind these trust COM
panies so firmly that the cotton placed
in their hands can be considered the
same as if not in existence or destroyed
for the next twelve months. AT the ex-
piration Of that period the companies are
to dissolve and return the cotton held in
trust to the owners.
BY this means it is calculated to hold
the cotton supply for this year down to
about $500, 900 bales and consequently
bring the price up to about ten cents per
pound, as formerly received with SINH
lar supply of cotton in former years.
1t is calculated that under the present
price of cotton, a farmer whose crop is nine
bales of 500 pounds each, at six cents a
pound, would receive only $270; where
as, if throug. out the whole cotton belt
about one-third of the cotton is with
drawn from the market for one year,
his six bales at ten cents would bring
him $500 and leave him to start next
years crop with bales on hand
The first trust company will be or
ganized in this city at once. After the
plan shall have been formally endorsed
by the Alliance, and that it will be is
forgone conclusion, the necessary steps
will be taken to extend the organization
throughout the whole cotton belt.

A stupendous Project Said to BE Gener-
ally Favored Where Known.

ally Favored Where known.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 22.-The Post-Dis-
patch Gays that a scheme is on foot by
which the militia of all states will be
put under national pay and supervision.
1t was started by officers of the regular
army at the encampment of the state
militia at Camp Wickham, the other
day, and circulars and personal letters
concerning it are now flying thick and
fast about the country.
1t is the most radical plan to change
the condition of the militia of the coun-
try that has arisen since the war. The
officers, Lieutenant Robert K. Evans, of
the Twelfth infantry, and Lieutenant
Joseph B. Bachelor, of the Twenty
fourth infantry, gave a resume of the
plan to the encampment. After making
a careful comparison of the standing
army of the United States with those of
other countries they had concluded that
something must be done to dignity the
militia forces of this country.
The constitution of the Association of
the National Guards of the United
States" provides that the national guards
of the various states are to be enrolled in
the national guards of the United States,
remaining under state control in time of
peace, but being Immediately available
for national defense in case Of war
The governor of any state will forward
to the secretary of war the application
of any company of not less than sixty
men who desire to join the association.
Each cavalry troop will be paid 81, 900
the first year it is organized and $4,000
for subsequent years. The artillery re-
ceives the same. The infantry companies
get ii 900 each.
Lieutenants Evans and Bachelor said
the organization was to be effected by
bill which congress was to be asked to
pass Mt the coming session. Petitions
are being gotten up in all states, and the
movement is widespread, but has been
kept quiet until it leaked out at Camp
Wickham.
The plan is approved by all officers
and men of the state militia and also by
Adiutant General Wickham.

TTALY's NEW ECONOMIES
VIII Soon Restore the Deficit OF 90, OOO,-
900 Lire Last Year.

WV A1AEe A4aSt hohEs
ROME, Aug. 22.--The papers are now
declaring that the deficit for the last
fiscal year will prove to be 10000, ,O0C
lire ($lS, S,0O0,0OO or 10000, 900 lire GA
900, ,000) more than so far officially re-
ported.
The new economies proposed are ex-
pected to restore an equilibrium for the
year 1991-92. The financial situation
has become still more trying because OF
the recent fall in Italian bonds and the
rise in the price of gold. The balance
of trade is more favorable than for
years, and yet the premium on gold con-
tinues to advance.
The supporters of the government
claim that it is purely the action of the
bears on the Stock exchange Of Paris.
The supporters of Crispi allege that it is
because the government has not made
the arrangements that he was accus-
toned to make to insure support at
Berlin when Italian funds were attacked
in paris.
The currency of Italy is theoretically
gold and silver, but really it is an incon-
vertible paper currency. Gold and silver
(hve-franc pieces) command premium
varying from 1 1-2 to 2 per cent. Ex-
change on Paris commands aboat 3 per
cent. premium. 1t is claimed that the
eagerness of the banks of issue for gold
is the carse of this premium.
Though the public cannot obtain gold
except by selling bank notes, the banks
of issue themselves have but to collect
all the bills of other banks they can find,
and then they can demand their own
bills or gold in exchange.
This position has led to scramble for
bills of other banks, and all means have
been employed to secure them, 40 as
thereby to secure gold at par which Is
worth premium in the street.

ering from the north and west. Some
claim that the explosion and the rain
were respectively cause and effect 1t
rained on Tuesday last from the same
general direction and on Wednesday
there were clouds, but no rain. Many
citizens claim that according. To the Or
dinary course Of nature clouds and per-
haps rain may be expected each even

the experimenters, yet nothing has been
proven. The elaborate program at first
mapped out by the scientists of the

A Battle between the Chilian Govern
mental and Insurgent Forces
VALPARAISO, Aug. 22.-The insurgent
army effected landing Thursday morn
ing at Quintero Bay, only twenty miles
north of this city. According to the
lowest estimate it numbers 5000 men.
The landing at Quintero bay was a
complete surprise to the president, but
as soon as he learned the news he acted
promptly. BY his command a large
force was sent north to meet the enemy.
1t is expected that the fleet will open fire
upon the forts that defend this harbor.
1t looks as if the most important en-
gagement, SO far in this history of the
present war is about to be fought. On
its result depends in all likelihood the
complete overthrow of Balmaceda or his
opponents.
The rout of the presidents forces un-
doubtedly would be followed quickly by
the capture of both Valparaiso and San
tiago by the victorious army of the in
surgents.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Secretary
Foster is giving close attention to imam

to extend the four-and-a-half per cent.
bonds at 2 per cent. after Sept. l..
There are $51 ,0OO,O 900 of these bonds, of
which a fraction less than $4,000, 900
have been presented to the treasury de-
partment for extension. The balance
in the treasury is $4,000, 900, not in
cluding the $16O, 100000 gold reserve, so
no doubt is expressed, if no more four
and-a-half per cent bonds are presented
for extension, that there will be ample
funds to redeem the 1871 100000 four
and-a-half per cents. outstanding.
