VAN OSS HAS GONE.
A Nadeau Hotel Guest Leaves Without
Paying His Bill.

A Nadeau Hotel Guest Leaves Without
Paying His Bill.
Avery clever confidence man has paid
Los Angeles visit, and here came to the
end of his string. 1t was a man named
S. f. Van Oss, who represented himself
as a staff correspondent OF the London
Oracle, which is alleged to be technical
railroad paper. Van Oss registered at
the Nadeau house, and by his gentle
manly demeanor made great number
of friends. His mail was extensive, and
he displayed letters of recommendation
from many prominent railroad men in
the east. Thus he managed to get
along swimmingly at the Nadeau, and
to run up bill OF $40.
On the morning OF the 18th he told
the clerk that he was going to Barstow
and would return the next day. He
did not even take his valise with him,
but he has not been seen since.
1t has now been developed that Van
Oss is a fraud. He has been living by
leasing out or selling passes on railroads
throughout the country, it being an easy
matter for his glib tongue to secure the
free transportation. Now that the end
OF the year is approaching, however, it
is probable that Van Oss saw the ap-
proach of his exposure and made his
escape. Instead OF stopping at Barstow
he went to Chicago on through train.
His valise was examined yesterday and
found to contain large pile of railroad
circulars and time tables, and pair of
socks without heels.
Van Oss is man Of slight stature,
has black eyes. dark complexion, and
wears moustaches and eyeglasses.

4 Plain TopdsitiOn and What What d Mining Man
 Says About It.
1 Level Headed Idea Which is
 Taking Shape,

There is determination on the part of the business men aid pruper- y ognsrs of Tombstone to take held of the pumping proposition and or
 Sanize a company 10 drain the mines Uf this camp. The matter will take
 shape early next month, and Ihe most
 pleasing feature about the matter Is Ihe eagerness with which every one
 who has been spoken 10 on the sub
 sect has proffsred financial aid in fur Lherance of the enterprise.
 A prominent mine owner in speak ing of the movement, said 10 repre- sentative oI the PRosFEcroR yesteidIy "There is no use in denying the fact that capital is cautious, and before
 going into A Llind proposition of pumping on a royalty, some pr,sof must be forthcoming that there is sUniethiug below wafer to justify the expenditure Of money.
 Nothing will encourage capital to 'ske hold of the enterprise like a showing by the people who ought tu knoW, that they have confidence ia

 If the people have confidence in the mines let them show 1t. II they have not they had better take up lG0 acres oi land in the Sulphur Spring valley and go to farming. Our foIts have confidence in oar mines and I am convinced they will subscribe Sl0yOO0 toward the enterprise.

Take my word for it tllars will be no necessity of hawking the shares around the country. Place them on the board in san Francisco and you'll find that lhey are just what the people have been looking for.
 To day there is not another Tomb s'ode on the coast and there is no such money Iraking scheme in sight as the one on fOot II il is not manipulated b" enderfset. On my part I 60 not think she partie' who are trying to place the proposition with English 1 ,spiisl Wiil succeed but you will Enow i more about that next month.

PITTsBURG.-A special dispst chr
 ceived here from Scottdale, says: One
 hundred coke strikers attacked the
 deputy sheriffs at Leisenring No, ?
 last night. Shots were exchanged and
 the guards inally compelled the slri-
 ksrs to retire, but not until one of line deputies had been shot, and, il is
 feared, fatally injured. Sheriff Me cormiek will now ask the governor to call out the troops again.
 TExARKANA, Ark.-rhe president
 had royal reception at Texarkana
 when the train arrived here at II 30 o'clock last night, and the station was thronged with people. no.withstand- ing the lateness of the hour. The run from Little Rock to this city was
 marked with enthusiasm at all sta tions on the route. This was especial ly the case at Malvern, Arkansas. where the president was honored wiih display of fireworks and S serenade.
 NEW YoRK-"L Eco De Italia" prints she following this evening: No one, after the slaughter at New Or leans, doubted that the mnrderers would be allowed to walk inc about the streets. No one thought, however that from the cabinet at Washington would have been sent out such stupid and dishonest pleas, attempting to save the murderers. from the hands of the hangman. An honest and civil ized nation would not have allowed & bloodthirsty mob to attack the prison and murder the prisoners, and should such thing have happe,.ed through the carelessness of the authorities, a civilized nation would have prosecuted and punished the guilty parties. Not only justice but the property and life Of citizens had been insuIted. Before giving satisfaction to Italy the United States ought to give it to themselves. The murder triumphs and frds an ad- "ocaie in Secretary Blaine. And the civilization of America, so often boast cd, has proven to be bluh-a hum- bug. 4 government which approves such course betrays its own country. and calls upon civilized nations to send their guns to teach it how inter national law and rights should be re- spected.
