| A Natural Polish.

W. B. Bonner arrived in the city yester-
day, having in his possession natural
polish which had been discovered in Co
manche county, When sifted it is
whltish- looking powder, and jewellers here
pronounce it a first-class polish. 1t is
found in the mountains in that section and
is in a cave, the opening of which was dis
covered by accident. This cave seems to
have been mined for something. and the en-
trance is small and bore the appearance of
having been walled up. To enter the cave
a person has to stoop and crawl for dis
lance of fifty feet, when the narrow passage
way opens into a room of large size, the
height being over fifty feet and the length
and breadth of unknown dimensions. The
cave is in pasture belonging to John Bry-
son, aud the latter has determined to have
the powder analysed, so as TO determine
upon its qualities The powder is also a
good tooth polish, and Mr.. Bryson expects
to realize something from the find.

What of the day." was the reporters
query.
Enough to satisfy anyone who can see
through a single with hole IN it. The
outlook for Texas is very bright; capital
and people are flowing in from everywhere
to all parts OF the state. Deep water, q
mild climate, good fruit and vegetable lands
on the coast, cotton, corn, castor beans, cat
tie and horses in the center, with the great
Panhandle to the north and west, where
everything grows to perfection, should be
enough to satisfy the most fastidious and
fill the bill for millions of people in other
states who are looking up better place"
''That's it exactly, but how are you going
to get them here?"
''First, by encouraging the Raymond ex-
customs, one of which is now in the state,
then by continuing the Texas on Wheels
exhibit, also with exhibits at state fairs in
the North and East, and especially by hav
ing a rouSing beat them all exhibit at Chi

HURON, S. D., Feb. 14-When inter-
viewed relative to the National cordage
company aud National Union company's
scheme, AlonZo Waddell, president of the
Alliance association and defunct Fidelity
insurance company, declared he had no
personal connection with it. The new
scheme has no connection with the
Farmers Alliance, nor has the
National Alliance Endorsed it. Should the
st. Louis labor conference have its attention
directed to it, the national convention of
political parties will have it sprung on
them. Waddell regards the scheme as one
for which the Alliance was originally or
ganized and for which it has always la
bored, viz, the cooperative system and
combining of Alliance purchases and sales,
thereby doing away with middlemen.

A STAGE-DRIVER'S EXPERIENCES

W. j. Gidley. the manager of the stage
liue between Gillette and Buffalo, in
Wyoming, has had many exciting adven-
lures on the box, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. Perhaps the worst-the one
that left him gray haired, he says-was
battle with wolves in the Bad Lands of
Dakota.
He was driving six horses and had
full load of passengers. 1t was midwin-
ter. intensely cold and with two feet or
more of snow everywhere. A pack of
wolves made determined assault ON the
outfit
For three hours it was n desperate
battle for life. No less than thirty wolves
were shot down. Finding destruction
was almost certain, Gidlev tied tho lines
to the brake and. walking out on the
tongue. leaped on the back of one of the
swing" horses.
From this perilous position, with the
wolves swapping ut him, lie managed TO
loose the team Of leaders. The wolves
took after the liberated horses and the
coach was brought into n station safe v.
The very nearest Gidley came 20 be-
ing killed by road agents, he says. was
one night between Bismarck and Dead
wood. The treasure-boX and express
messenger were both full and the night
was pitch dark.

at large on earth. The highwaymen took
the gold, robbed the passengers. bound
and gagged the driver and forced his
body into the hollow stump of cotton

safely away; He heard somebody yell:
