there will be no further use for the

The most sanguine prospector does
not anticipate more than four times
the present number OF producing

Without government, without reg
ulations, and with but poor judgment
the builders Of Creole, in their haste
TO grow rich, are preparing the way
for sickness and disaster that will be-
fore July next fill the papers with
dispatches almost equaling those fol-
lowing the Johnstown flood. From
the upper end OF Creole to the school
section below Jimtown the bed Of
Willow Creek has been encroached
upon until it is mere ditch not more
than five feet wide in places. This
creek is rap d-flowing mountain
stream fed from dozen gulches, on
the sides Of which is now more than
foot Of snow. Nearly all the course
Of this stream in Creole is covered by
buildings, and much of it is in the
same condition in Jimtown. The
principal hotel, just opened, with a
hundred rooms, is built in the bed Of
the croe Elk, with the foundations rest
ing On two feet Of ice. To protect
this building from the waters break
water of logs has been built, resting
on the ice and filed with rock, leav-
ing a channel Of not more than six
feet. In Jimtown the business por-
tion OF the city is also built over the
creek, which crosses the main street
diagOnally, there taking its own
width. This place Is ford, no
bridges having yet been erected, the
water almost reaching to wagon
bed. There are twenty places where
Il jam is likely to occur when the
June rains set in and when the snow
melts The probable results, appall-
ing as they may be, are recognized, but
NJ one takes the initiative In guard
ing against this danger. A jam OF
four feet and its breakage would
sweep away every house in the two
towns, except those perched up on
the side OF the mountain. This dan
ger is not an imaginary one, as the
sites of the two towns have, each
spring, with no distractions, been
covered with water enough to swim
horse, having current sufficient to

ton Of the canons Of good
taste. Watson, OF Georgia, who was the
Farmers Alliance candidate for Speaker,
is not an educated man, though an ex-
ceedingly fluent talker, yet his speeches
require very little editing. The young
members from Massachusetts, write bet
ter than they speak, but the English
language does not suffer distortion upon
their tongues even while they are en-
barrassed in their speech before this
new and august assemblage. A number
OF the members have been raised in ignor-
ance up to manhood and have acquired
their information in later years, and 1t Is
curious how their earlier training or
lack Of training exhibits itself in the
heat OF debate. Jerry Simpson and
Farmer Davis, who are the great literary
men Of the Alliance party, are very
accurate and strong writer's. Davis In
particular prides himself upon his liter
airy attainments, yet in their speeches
they both fly off the track entirely and
shatter syntax in every sentence.

loss of life as well as the destruction
Of property. A cloud-burst, such as
are so often seen in the mountains,
would send down q roaring, seething

two towns from the face Of the earth,
and hundreds Of graves would be
marked unknown" containing the
bruised and battered forms of the
victims of mans greed and their own
lust after wealth. The State author
tiles already recognize this danger,
and are considering means to avoid it.
The daily dispatches from this
camp announce the hundreds daily
arriving, but say nothing OF the
nearly equal number departing.
There are two reasons why so many
leave after remaining from two to six
days. 1t takes but twenty-four hours
usually to discover that, instead of
being a second Leadville, Creole is
destined to become a fair little min
ing camp OF possibly 1000 people.
Second, weeks stay means death to
many who may have heart trouble, or
are predisposed to that disease.
Creole has an altitude Of 5000 feet
and is SO situated in narrow gulch
that the sun reaches it but about two
hours each day. Jimtown has the
sun fully seven hours, but otherwise

rows Of buildings, such as there are
here, two against each high wall and
one over the creek bed, and you have
manufactured to order the city built
by spectators, remembering that the
buildings, as rule. are mere shacks,
such as any mining camp can show.
The town is three-quarters OF mile
long, running into Jimtown, where
the gulch broadcns somewhat, al
though not wide enough to be called
a valley.

Things Worth Rememberfn1.

When you feel kind of goneness abou
the stomach it is a sign that your fooi
does not sit we'll and that you are abou
to have fit of indigestion.
When you begin to feel nervous and are
unable to sit still comfortably; when your
clothes suddenly seem to lose their fit and
become too tight in places the fit of indi
gestion is surely upon you
When this fit of indigestion is repeated
from day to day it finally resolves itself
into dyspepsia.
Remember that three to ten of Brand
reth's Pills will cure the worst case of in
Objection or dyspepsia, or both, and that
regular course of them, say two every
night for week or ten days, will act as a
preventive of either complaint.

The stock market here to-day opened dull and

from last evenings prices, and with some buy
ing for London and Boston as well the shorts.
Prices were well maintained and a firm temper
given the whole list, with small fluctuations.
Only in a few specialtes like Manhattan. North

there movements of more than ! per cent.
though the Reading securities under heavy buy
ing became the feature OF the dealings. There
was a steady demand during the afternoon from
the shorts, with a smatteriug OF purchases of
long stocks, prices steadily though slowly mount
ing, while the fluctuations were in most cases of
no special significance. The market closed very
dull but firm to strong at the best prices Of the
day, though with the exception of Tennessee g
Coal the gains are confined to fractional amounts
Railroad bonds were very dull The only real
feature was the sudden squirt in the Reading

New Route for Teams to the shore.
The question of a more desirable route
for driving to West Haven and Savin Rock
is now being strongly agitated by the citi-
zens of that borough. They say that the
present route via Kimberly avenue and
West river bridge will be spoiled by the
new electric road, as the cars will be q
continual source of fright to the horses
and the road now is in many places too
narrow for them to pass conveniently.
They say also that if the city will harden
Washington street they will put First
avenue in better condition and Keep it 80,
making even finer drive to the shore
than the present one. petition is to be
sent to the board of public works and the
scheme will be urged with enthusiasm.

portion to improve is about a half mile.

of proportions, that for every 1000 born
in Ireland and living in this country there
are, approximately. 2,414 persons in this
country having Irish parents; for every
1000 German born, 1894 having German
parents; and for every 1000 English born,
