Spoiled Sensation.


Old Sol had not begun his daily jour
ney last Sunday, the twinkling stars
were yet bright in the heavens, Tom
Herman's rooster, Grover G, was yet
dreaming when Wadsworth's Isaac Wal
tor threw his pole owe his shoulder,
buckled on his pack saddle, and started
forth to whip the wild waters of the
Truckee for trout.
Old Sol and he were well on their jour
ney when he espied a bundle OF soft
straw so inviting it coaxed him to rest
his weary limbs. He sank-that is he
started to sink, that is he thought he
would-he meant to do so-and let him
self down with considerable speed, not
upon alluring softness but upon some
hard substance which bruised his deli
cate flesh. He was for a moment hurt
at his own impetuosity, but proyerbial
curiosity eased his pain as he sought in
the straw for that hardness which was
in the depths.
His digging was rewarded and to the
light OF day with much labor he dragged
a heavy cask. Sol winked a knowing
wink and he thought of the Examiners
expose OF opium smuggling. Within that
keg was enough opium to make him
dream wilder dreams than ever Maud
Muller did as the J Judge rode slowly down
the lane. And he thought of Maud and
of the } udge and Of the chestnut name Of
the Judges horse and of Richard III and
his "My Kingdom for a horse"-and
wagon. But many miles lay between
him and a horse, but visions of wealth
lent speed to his limbs and a wild-eyed
man was in a secret oh so secret, con-
versation with c.. ii. Lewis, and soon
like Sheridan's charger, only this one
was white without any tail, was a horse
flying to the find. No villain had des-
poiled them, the treasure was still there.
1t was heavy but tenderly it was lifted in
and brought to the Green Front.
The head of the cask was knocked in
but Charlie and Issac were knocked out,
the barrel was full of badly decayed fish.
Later:
Finest bag of the season.
Dick Fuller returned this morning
from a trip up the river with a catch of
trout exceeding 250lbs. How's that.

What Tom Did,

A writer in The Rural New Yorker
believes that nowhere in the Union can
a young agriculturist with little or nc
money succeed SO well as in south
western Georgia. where, with fair good
luck, with industry and economy to
back it, he can pay for a farm in half a
dozen years. The young man should
hire himself out to a farmer already on
the ground for a year or two at first to
learn the soil, climate and productions.
The writer declares there are possibili-
ties for peach crops in Georgia that
seem acknowledgements of the most
luscious kind.
Then he gives incidentally the story
of an old negro who began soon after
the war. He could give white men
some points IN raising a family, could
old Tom. Here is his story:
In 1896 Tom Cameron and wife, colored, were
given by their master 100 pounds Of meat and
ten bushels of corn, and he and his wife worked
for Sl2.5 50 per month and fed themselves. In
1857 he and his wife, with his father and
ultthSI- ia WI tuio " a. ~ thobs
growing sixty acres In cotton and corn sufi-
cient." They cleared $500 outside of corn ITO
run them" In 1883 he bought 100 acres of
land, paying $40D cash. In 1873 he and wife
had paid for the 100 acres and had bought fifty
head of stock. From that time he simply made
a good living. raising eight children and send
ing them TO school until 1889. In October that
year he bought l73 acres of land, we lending
him 81 $3.50. 40 to pay for it, taking a mortgage
on the new land bought, and also on the 100
acres and two mules. We also advanced what
little he needed for supplies.
By December, 1890, he had paid for supplies
and $733.G on the land. In February, 1891, we
paid $159. 10 for another mule for him.. In De-
cember. 1891, he paid for his supplies as well as
for the mule and $2S2. 10 on the land, and would
have paid for the whole OF the latter II it had
not rained SO as to prevent his picking his cot
ton ut in good condition. He now has five
mules paid for, 273 acres of land on which he
owes Ss6A25, with this years crops to pay for
1t, and II the price of cotton were eight cents
he could pay up his entire Indebtedness. He
cannot read or write, but Is honest, industri-
Gus and trustworthy, and has, while educating
his children, compelled them to work too.

M;Tger16a Rivera, VINO oIeu ut Hon
terey, Mexico, recently, was undoub1ed-
ly 152 years old, the time of her birth
being duly recorded in the Spanish ca
tliedral at Madrid. One would like t.
know a little more about h~er-whether
she was spry and could see and hear
well, and whether it flattered her to be
told that she locked twenty years
younger than her real age. Because if
she was blind. deaf, bent double, far
gone in that senile childishness which is
SO distressing and looked like a dried up
old Egyptian mummy, then it was GER
tainly no boon to either herself or her
family that she lived to be i32.

After all the time there was to make
ready for the visitation of cholera. which
was morally certain in the great seaport
of this coSntry, the plague found the
port of New York not ready for it. There
was no place on land on which to quar-
antine passengers from the infected
steamers; consequently they were kept on
board. with some of their fellow passen-
gers being ever and anon attacked with
cholera. 1t is possible, indeed probable,
that ONE of the immigrants that were
stricken with the plague on shipboard
in New York harbor would have escaped
had they been taken off the vessel to a
comfortable quarantine camp imme-
diately on their arrival. Now, however,
the warning note has been sounded. If
the country has not been thoroughly
cleaned up and rigid sanitary regulations
are not established everywhere before
the coming of warm weather next year,
then there will be criminal carelessness.
1t is possible for this whole country to
escape with only IA light visitation of the
pestilence next year. if indeed it be not
possible to keep it u altogether. There
will he no Worlds fair if the cholera
gets a footlold in America next summer.

Want ed for Murder.

A man named Dick Miller, who has
been located in the vicinity of Helix for
some time past, IS wanted in Kootenai
county, Idaho, says the East Oregonian,
for the crime of murder. Wednesday
the sheriff from that county visited He
lix and took Miller in custody. Little
could be learned of the particulars of the
crime, which was committed last Septem-
Der. There were two men camping on
the banks of q creek, and Miller is ac-
cused of killing one of them with pistol
be had borrowed and throwing his body
into the stream. 1t is supposed the deed
was done with motives of robbery, and
that considerable money was obtained by
Miller from the person of the murdered
man. The officer has returned to Koote-
mai county with his prisoner. The where
abouts of Miller were learned by the cap
ture of his accomplice at Pasco. This
man was one of the two campers, and
conDived with Miller in the murder of
his companion. On hisperson when ar
rested were found letters from Miller,
giving his address, This being learned
it became an easy matter to find him.
Miller was employed for John Rush, who
resides In the Sand Hollow neighborhood.
1t Is thought now that the fellow had a
scheme in view for making away with
Mr.. Rush when opportunity offered.

Death of an Arctic Explorer.

Lieut.. Frederick G. Schwatka died at
Good Samaritan hospital, Portland, yester-
day, from an overdose of laudunum, taken
by himself to allay pain. He is well known
over the world as the person who discovered
in 1878 in the Arctic regions definite data
regarding the fate of Sir John Franklin, and
for this was honored by medals from Paris
and from Russia. Lieut.. Schwatka was
born in Galena. ILL.,, in lS49, and came to
Oregon with his parents in 1858. In 1867
he was appointed to cadetship at West
Point, and graduated therefrom in 1871.
He was appointed second-heutenant of cav
airy, and was stationed several years in
Arizona. In 1875 he was admitted to the
bar In Nebraska, and in 1875 received his
medical degree from Bellevue Medical col
lege. On the 18th of June, 1878, he started
on his celebrated journey in the Arctic re-
gons and returned on September %, 1880.
having discovered and buried many of the
skeletons of Sir John Franklin's party, and
removed much of the mystery surrounding
his fate. The past few years be has de-
voted his time to travel and authorship, and
from his pen has been published "Along
Alaska's Great River" '.Nimrod in the
North" "The Children of the Cold"
''Schwatka's Search" and "The Franklin
Search, Under Lieutenant Schwatka." He
leaves widow and child at Rock Island,
Illinois, and relatives in this state.
