CAUGHT IN THE DAILY ROUNDUP.

After years absence w. L. Webb
turned up yesterday and was found in his
accustomed place in the Walker writing
room. Mr.. Webb was as good as a dead
man until month ago having been taken
down with very aggravated case of in
1emnation of the stomach and bowels.
Had it not been for the good treatment he
received at q Cleveland, O., hospital he
might not be back in the flesh now. For
six weeks they applied cloths, with spices
quilted in between the layers, wrung out
of hot whisky, and changed every three
hours, to his stomach. His only diet was
baby food, though they gave him lard
bath once day, the same being thoroughly
rubbed in By big. Swede. This was fol-
lowed by an alcohol bath, with few grains
of quinine. After he had gained little
strength his diet was changed To gratings
of chip beef.
Hon. James L. Pugh, now serving his
second term as United States senator from
Alabama, is in the city with his estimable
wife. They are the guests of Mr.. A. D.
Elliott who married the younges. daugh-
ter Of the Pugh family. The senator is
on his way @ Nevada to meet Senator
Stewart, both being members Of the min
ing committee appointed by the last con-
gress to investigate the production of gold
and silver.
Judge Colburn who has just returned
from Denver reports that real estate in
city is sspicking up.n A sale was made,
while he was there, of tract known as
s'the triangular ground" near Mount Clair,
for 81, 500 per acre. This land is five miles
away from the heart of the city and the

H. C. Greco. connected with the Chicago
Mining Journal is at the Templeton After
spending several weeks in Colorado mining
camps. he gives it as his opinion that
Weaver will carry the state by 10000 plur-
atty. Fifty-six out of the ninety news
papers of the state have turned to his sup
port and the feeling runs so high that
Harrison speakers will not be heard In
some Of the camps. Mr.. Greece made three
bets with Denver man. One that Weaver
would get more votes than Harrison in
Colorado: another that Weaver would
carry four states, and the third that if
Cleveland was elected by the House Reid
would not be vice president. The last bet
was the result of the Denver man claiming
that the constitution provided that the
president and vice president could not be
residents of the same state. This, however,
does not apply TO elections by the House.
c. E. Alien is perhaps the worst scared
man IN town. He has been devoting all
his spare time to keeping the Liberal party
intact so as to succeed himself as county
CLERK. He took it for granted that he held
the Office Dy sort of divine right and that
it would be treason for any one else to con-
test for the place. Now he wakes up to
find that Charley Stebbins is doing little
work among the boys and there are not q
dozen Liberal mining men IN the county
who will not be for big-hearted Steb.
Why Aliens fog horn voice will not be
heard when Steobin's caliope begins to
tool. Allen had better get out of the way
and save the expenses OF wake. He has
no more chance running against Steb, old
boy. than dead man.
Then "Leonard's sure pulp for the COL
lector's Office may be interfered with. A.
L. Williams' friends are not going to take
back seat and the clever piece of intrigue
by which Leonard intended to sidetrack
the man who has pull on the nomination
won't work The cut and dried division of
the offices made by Leonard will not go
down. and If it is attempted it will break
the convention in Two. There will be a
dozen candidates for each office, and the
eleven who will get left will have nothing
TO lose by boiling the party of "just one
more time"
