COULDN'T THROW A COWBOY.
How a Plucky Texan Rode a Tricl
Mule and Won a Prize.
From the Kansas Ctty Union.


From the Kansas CRY Union.
The cowboy in riding ability is thought
by many to be almost like the mythical
centaur-a part Of the horse that he travel s
upon. OF course good many erroneous
impressions are entertained in regard TO the
reckless COW puncher's qualifications as an
equestrian. But it is fact that some Of
these fellows are very fearless and are ex-
ceiient riders. 1t is common boast among
them that they can ride ANY animal that
wears hair
A few days ago Adam Forepaugh's circus
made It's appearance in one of the western
Texas towns. The day the circus came was
AS Is usual in small towns-a great holi-
day. The people turn out far and near to
see the wonderful procession in the morning
and tae still greater performance in the
afternoon. The big elephant, which
OF course was the largest on earth,
the savage lions and Bengal tigers
with their tanners looked in their cages-all
were there AID each one contributed to
make up the excitement that Is always Gre
ated by the greatest show on earth" in a
small town. At the afternoon PERFORM
ance, after the acrobats had turned their
double somersa Its over three elephants aud
five horses and the iron-Jawed lady had
been pulled several times, swinging by her
teeth, to the top Of the tent-then it was
that the irrepressble little trick mule was
led forth. Here is where my story begins.
The ringmaster drew himself up In a very
important manner and announced in loud
tones that there was a standing offer Of $40
TO any one that would ride the gentle little
mule. The ringmaster, as every one knows
is a very necessary attRche Of circus and
is generally up in his business This one,
however, missed his mark on this particular
occasion. He had evidently forgotten what
people the circus was among at that time or
had likely never informed himself about the
native western Texan as a rider Neverthe-
less, the proposition was scarcely announced
when a long, cadaverous COW puncher,
Hank Anderson, stepped forward and said .
Mr.. Ringmaster, I'll jes go yer one on
that little talk you're makin'.n
Hank had evidently been imbibing some
OF the ardent fluid, but was not intoxicated

CHOLERA AND TRADE.
A MORE CONFIDENT FEELING AP-
PARENT THAN LAST WEEK.
The General Conditions of Industries

The General Conditions OF Industries
and Trade Remarkably Good-An
Improvement in the Iron Trade.
Dry Goods Unusually StronR-Money
in Good Supply.
NEW YORK, Sept 9-R. G. Dun g. Co.
say: Last weeks semi-panic in stocks and
grain has been followed by more confident
feeling about the cholera. as it is seen the
pestilence is thus far confined to incoming
ships by national regulations, which all
officials are now respecting. Moreover,
even If the disease should appear on shore
in scattered cases, the vigorous measures
taken by the thoroughly warned ana
aroused people would be likely TO restrict
and suppress 1t, as it has been thus far kept
down In England. Hence there is much
less apprehension regarding the possible
effects Of the disease this year before cold
weather comes and stocks have advanced
about Is cents a share on the whole, though
in other markets the alarm disclosed a weak
ness which still continues.
GENERAL CONDITIONS GOOD.
Meanwhile the general condition OF in-
dustries aud of trade throughout the coun-
try is not only remarkably good but i'm
although the exports of merchandise are
not yet large enough to prevent some ex-
ports Of gold.
1.-The trade in dry goods exceeds expecta-
tions. being unusually strong at the west
and better than last year at the south, and
is especially good in silks, ribbons and dress
goods.
"The iron trade has improved, business in
jewelry, hardware and tobacco is fair, and
In liquors very good
AT Baltimore boot and shoe jobbers find
their demand exceeding deliveries from the
factories.
IMPROVEMENT AT PITTsBURG.
ga decided improvement is seen in the
tone Of the iron trade at Pittsburg. Glass
works are resuming. and the hardware
trade is good. AT Louisville and Nashville
trade improves. Crop prospects are better.
AT New Orleans business has somewhat
improved, but is not up to expectations.
Sugar is very strong. rice unsteady and
money stiff, though in ample supply.
The iron industry grows more active.
nearly all the works are full of orders, and
the output Is now heavy. Nails have ad-
vanced 10 cents per keg, but some weakness
appears In the prices of structural and plate
iron. The expected war between the Penn
sylvania adds to the dullness in coal. Boots
and shoes are In great demand.
CoTToN's ADVANCE.
"Cotton has advanced 1-16 cent during the
week.
"With restricted exports OF products at
present, foreign exchange is steadily strong,
but the treasury has put out of the new
notes 300, 900 more than it has added to its
stocks of gold and silver and the money
markets throughout the country are amply
supplied, while collections In all quarters
are fair for the season.
"The business failures throughout the
country during the last seven days number
l46 for the United States; for the corre-
spending week last year 49,"

The Blacksnake,s WAYS.

"You wouldn't believe me-" said old
jacob Bloom of Laurel Run 60 a gang Of
woodsmen the other day, you wouldn't be-
lieve me if I'd tell you the blacksnake ia
boss among snakes in this country, but it's a
fact. A Dlacksnske will whip any other
kind of a snake you can trob out, and not
half try"
Some Of the boys laughed, says the
Punxutawney Spirit, and said they didn't
think a blacksnake would be in 1t with a
rattlesnake at all. There was large rat
Tlesnake in the camp which the woodsmen
kept in box with a glass cover on TO amuse
themselves with after working hours
Jim Brewer Of this place, who happened
to be there at the time and heard Mr..
Blooms observations, Clipped in and said:
I'm bet blacksnake would not last long
II you'd put him in the box with that rat
tier"
Wouldn't" exclaimed Bloom. "Why,
he'd choke the RATHER to death before he
knowed what happened to him, an in order
to convince you Of the fac lll 60 out and
capture blacksnake an show you"
The subject was then dropped and the
boys forgot it, but about o'clock In the
afternoon the old man came in with a
blackSnake little over three feet long.
The RATHER was nearly two feet longer.
NOW" he says, ''pll show you how it's
done"
Anu ne put Tue DlacksDdk6 into Gne DOX
with the ra5tler.
Both snakes seemed to be considerably
agitated. The RATHER shook bis tail with an
angry whizz and stuck out his tongue in a
menacing way, and the blacksnake squirmed
around and made several feints with his
tail. The RATHER was angry and coiled
himself to strike. but before he was quite
ready the blacksnake had taken a hitch
around the rattler's neck with his tail and
begun to haul taut. The RATHER writhed
and squirmed and thumpei himself around,
but all to no purpose. The blacksnake kept
his hold and drew tighter and tighter.
Finally the contortions of the RATHER ceased.
He was dead. The blacksnake held on five
minutes longer, then calmly unfolded his
tail and curled himself us in corner OF the
box.
"Therer said the old man. triumphsntly
Hereafter when / tell you anything about
snakes you can put it down as fac'.n

enough to affect his activity. He seemed to
be Just about reckless enough TO attempt
most anything. As he laztly approached
the ring his acquaintances In the audience,
who knew him 10 be one OF the boldest and
most expert riders in all Of that country,
crested him with such shouts as That's
right. Hank stay with EN-; Lnat little jack
rabbit can't throw you"
The demure looking little mule was pa
tiently waiting in the ring. It seemed TO
know what was aboutto take place. Hank
mounted and his long, lank legs were tight
ly wrapped around the little animal. The
beast turned his head and eyed its rider
with most cunni 2 and develish look and
started out around the ring jumping around
as fast as a spinning wheel. Then It tried
walking on its fore feet, then on its
hind ones, then up it went in the
air ana seemed to perform q
somersault when it hit the ground perfectly
stiff legged. AS the dust cleared away
Hank could be seen perched upon the mules
back right side up, and triumphant smile
seemed to steal across his countenance.
The lull in these proceedings only lasted for
few moments. Then the determined Its
tie beast was again up in the air, going
through the same maneuvers as 1t did at
first, only In a more vigorous manner.
Again Hank remained firmly in his seat.
The mule then resorted to the scheme
VI lying down ana TOIllnR over
and over. These tactics proved also unsuc-
cessful, as the rider would simply dismount
and await until the trick mule had risen to
its feet, when he would mount again quick
as flash. Finally the little beast seemed
to draw itself together for last and mighty
effort; it gathered its legs up closely,
bumped its back and shot up in the air like
a rocket. This was repeated numerous
times 10 rapid succession, and each time old
Hank appeared on top, smiling as coolly as
II nothing had taken place.
At last the mlschievous little beast fell
broadside upon the earth from sheer ex-
haustion and rolled its little eyes up at
Hank with a submissive and conquered look
which seemed to say:
II have thrown many a rider, but at last
have met more than my match"
The ringmaster turned over the $40
and said that he was salts
fed, and that Hank had accomplished
his task. The way the audience
yelled indicated that it, too, was satisfied.
The mule walked away with its head droop-
ing and plainly showed that it was per-
fectly willing and satisfied to let Hank
walk of with the honors and thus end an
unpleasant struggle

II nominations are made prominent speak

hell Of death, dishonor and crime, that 1t de-
mOralizes everybody that touches it from its
source to where It ends"
You say that this curse has made no wrecks

produces no suicides, no insanity, no poverty,
no ignorance, no restitution. no jails no aims
houses, no asylums, no prisons and no scaholds;
that it has not wrecked men Of genius, aud that
there are no little children Juggling at the raded

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-The element
of parental opposition to the Manning
Fuller marriage and the consequent
clandestine feature of the story of the
wedding OF the chief Justices daughter
were missing from the tale as told to a
United Press reporter by the chief justice
and his wife this evening. He said that
Mary and Mr.. Manning had been lovers
for two or three years with the full
knowledge and consent of her father and
mother. The marriage had been post
poned in consequence of illness of the
girl. The Chief Justice added SO far
from their being ans opposition on our
part to the marriage, 1 should have been
glad if she had married Manning two
years ago. We said nothing about the
wedding for the reason that in her highly
nervous condition we wanted nothing
from the newspapers to filter back into
the sick room and excite her, but now
that her recovery seems assured, we
have had cards engraved announcing
the marriage

A Bank President Disappears.

CARROLL, Ia, Feb. 1s.-This city has
experienced genuine sensation by the
sudden disappearance of O. A. Kentner
president of the Citizens state bank.
Yesterday he disposed of his interest in
the bank, and this morning left with
his wife for parts unknown. His finan-
ces are in a badly MIXED condition. He
owes the First National bank $4,000; Z.
w. Libby, a stockraiser, $1,000; John
McCarty and Frank Bailey of Audubin,
$4,000 for cattle sold and money ad-
vanced. He also sold large herd OF
cattle, on which were several mortgages.
Just how bad the Citizens bank is in
volved cannot be learned. Kentner has
been leading citizen of this place for
fifteen years. Officers will be sent after
him, and he will be prosecuted for dis
posing OF the mortgaged property, il
caught.

An old Pathfinder Dead.

SAN JOSE, Feb. 1s.-John Marion
Murphy, one of the oldest pioneers of
California, died Last evening after long
illness. He was native of Canada,
aged &c. Mr.. Murphy was one of the
earliest scouts who came across the
plains to California. He served as a
guide for Fremont on one of his expedi-
tions, and his knowledge of the overland
trails was unsurpassed. He was the
first man to bring four-wheeled wagon
across the Sierras. He married Virginia
Reed, the eldest daughter of James
Frazer Reed, who was one of the find
ers of the ill-fated Donner party.
