Secret ef the Lottery's Withdrawal.

NEW York, Feb. ia dispatch
from New Orleans says: "At last the
true secret of the withdrawal Of the
Louisiana state lottery from the fierce
political struggle which has been rag
ing for many months is out. The lot
terry is to go to Mexico. Arrange
ments to that end have about been
completed with President Diaz and
the fortress of Chapultepec will be
the location of the Louisiana lottery
after 1893. While the directors of the
company have not yet held meeting
to consider the propositions made by
different cities of other countries it is
known that Morris favors the City of
Mexico, and that practically settles

Hot on the Brute's Trail.

TExARKANA, Ark, Feb. 15.-The
negro Ed Coy who on Saturday out
ragged Mrs. Jewell near here has
been traced across Red River into
the adjoining county of Little River.
When last heard from about two
o'clock this afternoon posse was hot
on his trail and less than an hour
behind him. His capture is now re-
garded as certain and the return of
the posse with him in charge is
expected at any hour. Public indig-
nation is in no way abated and it is
likely even a worse fate than hang
ing awaits the brute when captured.

VERY STALE TO US.
But it May Be News in Chicago That Garza
is Not Dangerous.


CHICAGO, Feb. l5.-"To military
men along the Texas frontier the war
like dispatches published in the north
regarding the CARA matter afford
much amusement" said Col. j. P.
Martin, adjutant general department
of Texas of United States army at the
Grand Pacific today. "No one down
there pays any attention to the Cara
business continued Col. Martin;
"there is no fighting between Garza's
band and Captain Hardie's company.
Some shots were exchanged, but 1t
was through mistake that the Ameri-
can soldiers ran upon Garza's people
in the dark, neither party knowing of
the proximity of the other. Garza's
pickets challenged our men and not
receiving satisfactory answer, and
being ignorant of the identity of the
new corners, fired and fled. Anyway
the whole affair is about over"

THAT CIGARETTE FACTORY.
The Willy schemer Jumps the Town But is
Arrested.

Some weeks ago fellow named
Richard Skies turned up here and
with commendable zeal set to work to
turn down certain gentlemen.
He had self-lighting cigarette fac
tory scheme in his fertile imagination
while his pockets were as empty as a
boarding house bill of fare.
He set to work to organize a
company, having he said, organized
one in Ell Paso.
He was plausible and told smooth
tale but the gentlemen whom he
sought to scoop set to work on their
own account and did some investigat-
ing, which coming to the ears of Mr..
Skiles he incontinently packed his
grip and left.
Night before last he passed through
the city in charge of officers of Ell
Paso, where it seems he got in his
work and duped lot of victims.

COWBOYS IN NEW MEXICO.
Man and His Little Daughter Killed
and Devoured by Wild Dogs in
Western Kansas-A Desperate
Fight for Life.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, Feb. ia
hot fight is said to be raging between
cowboys and Indians near Coolidge
station, ON the Atlantic and Pacific
railroad, and dispatches from there
say the Indians have been no.
ticed carrying three of their dead
from the field of battle. The
fighting is said to be most
desperate, and the cowboys, who are
gteatly outnumbered, are contesting
every inch of the ground. According
to kilograms received here, tie fight
is in progress near Coddington's
ranch, which is not great distance
from Coolidge. Each side is in the
timber and shooting at each other
from behind trees. Runners report
that if the cowboys are not soon rein
forced the Indians will annihilate
them. Many in Coolidge have left to
join their associates, but no actual re-
suit of the fight has been received.
DEvoURED BY WILD DOGS.
WICHITA, Kans., Feb. 15.-John
Pratt and his 7-year-old daughter
near Leonard are the latest victims of
the wild dogs which infest the ex-
treme northwestern corner of this
state and which at this season are
particularly ferocious. Pratt and his
child were in Leonard yesterday after
noon and left for home little before
dark. Their remains, horribly
mangled, have been found about a
mile from home and the carcasses of
several dogs show that a fierce battle
was waged before Pratt was overcome.
These ferocious animals are cross be-
tween prairie wolves and domestic
dogs lost from the settlements.

around Lincoln hotel, and in response
to repeated calls, Governor Boyd APP
peared on the balcony and delivered
an address, in which he thanked the

of his fellow citizens in the discharge
of the onerous duties before him.

internal medicines, for instance, is Of

to tell in advance how the remedy

ual case.
1t is not so with exterior applications

there is one thing that has been thor
Oughly mastered it is the relief of pain,
and there is nothing known that does

stock raisers all over the country for

waited on the breeze, which, even in the
hottest weather elsewhere. cools the
atmosphere of the Point. On the beach
the curling waves come rolling in from
the broad Pacific ocean making the surf
bathing unexcelled anywhere on the
coast. AT low tide the beach is probably
more than 200 yard wide and being hard
and smooth would make an excellent
parade. All kinds of water fowl are
swarming on the inside bays and sloughs !;
clans by the million can be had within
stones throw of the camp, and the salt
and fresh water fishing is splendid. The
Point is readily accessible, as the rail
road is bnit to Ocosta and from thence it
is but short distance by boat across
South bay to Westport wharf A visit to
this locality will convince the most skep
tical that there can be no more pleasant
place selected for holding the National
Guard encampment.

Mysterious Visitati0ns From n Cross
Eyed Man to Several Residences.
The people living in the vicinity of II
and Second streets have been in great
state of excitement for the last week
over the mysterious visitations of un-
known men to their houses during the
night. One evening last week Mrs. A.
F. Stevens was greatly alarmed about 8
o'clock to see red-headed, cross-eyed
man peering through the window at her.
She gave the alarm but the miscreant
escaped. Monday night about II O'Clock
man attempted to crawl through an
open window in bedroom OF the resi-
dence of F. Fl. Owen. Mrs. Owen, hav-
ing retired, screamed at sight Of the in
truder, bringing her husband, who was
in the next room, OH the scene, but the
unwelcome visitor had fed. George D.
Allen, who had been watching several
nights for the nocturnal providers, saw
couple Of men run between the houses,
but before he and his little cannon could
get out of doors the parties had made
good their escape.
A number of citizens have been an
noyed by people peeping into their win
dows at night, and haye decided to make
it very tropical for anyone caught in
the act.

Rev. Buffers Lecture.

Last evening Rev. Butler gave a most
interesting illustrated lecture on the SUBJ
ject: "From the First Drink to Delirium

lecture, most interesting in itself, was
made doubly so by stereopticon pictures
Of the human body as affected by the
liquor habit. The lecture was listened
to by large and attentive audience. At
the conclusion OF the lecture the ladies'
threw open the lecture room doors and
served ice cream and cake and other
delicacies, which were Of unusual ex-
cellence.

The following little story from the
Astoria Herald points a moral" and is
true OF other cities struggling for the
same ends. We have many Gus Car
ruthers but likewise several of the other
kind, whom perusal of this article NAV
benefit:
"Gus Carruthers, son of Robert Car
ruthers, was at the railroad meeting last
evening, and when the chairman called
upon the audience to subscribe, Gus
arose and said, 'Put me down for $1O."
Here is young boy who works hard
every day, saves his money, and yet out
of his hard earnings he gives $40 to the
railroad. Would that some of the men
of Astoria were imbued with the same
enterprise. That $40 is more for Gus
Carruthers to give than 100 acres OF land
by large property owner. 1t is not the
amount, but the manly courage, the ex
ample set, and the spirit of enterprise
that actuated the gift. If that little gift
would net make the most hardened moss
back shed tears of shame, then he IS I'M
fit to inhabit the hottest corner Of hell.
Now, honestly, mossbacks, don't you feel
just little bit ashamed? Any man that
will stand still and see Gus Carruthers
contribute $40 to the railroad and won't
go down in his pocket, is hardened
mossback and should OF ostracised from
decent society,""

A Dirty Trick.

Some dirty, disreputable wretch who
hasn't spark OF manhood or womanhood
in him or her, has been sending scurril-
GUS anonymous letters to a number Of
people of this city, even ladies being sub
jected to his fiendish malice. Lynching
is too good for such miscreant. and the
climate OF Aberdeen will be hotter than
the torrid zone for him if he is caught at
his work. A sojourn at McNiell's island
would prove beneficial for him. No one
but a pusillanimous sneak would be
guilty Of sending even his bitterest en-
envy an anonymous letter.

noon from voyage to La Libertad, San

charging twenty-five tons of fine stone

she will probably load lumber at Vests
