FAIRPLAY, a mining village in
Grant county, was SO named because
in the broils incident to it as to
other mining camps in early days,
the participants were strictly held
to certain rules of combat, not al
lowing two or more to oppose one,
man not to be struck or kicked
when down, etc. According to an
account by the Platteville Ne1cS of
a recent outrage committed in that
village, the commendable old rules
have gone into "innocuous desue-
tude,' and a change of the name of
Fairplay is in order. The foulplay
at Fairplay consisted of brutal treat
ment of an inoffensive, half de.
mented old citizen named Joseph
Gunter, by two drunken merchants
from Dubuque, assisted by local
toughs named Charley and Tom
Bainbridge and August Kluck.
They went to the old mans cabin,
beat him, fired fine shot into him,
dragged him about by a rope around
his neck, and subjected him to
other cruelties. On complaint the
Bainbridges and Kluck have been
fined $50 each and costs, but IN e
Dubuque thugs have thus far es-
capped arrest or punishment.

\.1derbilt's onyx lined mansion can
create no envy in the hearts of the settlers
along the Wenatchee, who have tons and
tons of the valuable rock, enough to build
a whole city with, if needed. George
Parrish, one of these settlers, tells tho
Kititas Locdlizer that the onyx found on
his place can be quarred out in large
chunks. He thinks he can quarry out
blocks over 30 feet in length, and what ia
more, there is plenty of it. 1t varies in

the whitest article he ever saw. He uses
it in various ways about the erection OF
his buildings. -Portland Oregonian.

The Feather Bed IL Going.

A Boston salesman says: The day Of
the feather bed is almost gone. Some
years ago the bed that was in most gen.
well to do country people, and those that
wern't SO well to do, raised their own
geese and plucked their feathers to make
the bed. In those days nobody was any
body to speak of unless he or she owned
his or her own feather bed. Since then
the plain hard mattress has come into
favor. and there are lots of people that
can't or won't sleep in a feather bed.
Nevertheless, there are lots of people
that can't or won't sleep in any kind OF
bee. but the old fashioned feather.
