RustIers i'm Favor.

DOUGLAS, Wyo.. April 1S.-The feeling
of prominent citizens in this section
against the johnson county outrages is
growing hourly more intense, as the real
facts of the atrocities become more fully
known. Although Converse and johnson
counties are adjacent to each other, the
county seats, douglas and Buffalo are
$50 miles apart. The people of Douglas
are as intensely interested, however. as
those of johnson county. All the stock
men in the mob are we'll known here and
several of them reside in this county.
Frank Wolcott is the leader and F. G. r.
vine. his lieutenant, is the state live stock
commissioner. They are both residents
of Converse county. Wolcott has not
hoof of stock in johnson county, and was
never wronged Dy settler mp there.
The sentiment of ths people here is that
the Fort Mckinney prisoners can never
again reside as citizens in Converse, john
son or Natrona counties, for if Wolcott or
any of his followers should set foot in
this section, except as prisoners, they
would be shot down. and there are not
officers enough IN Wyoming to protect
them for dag. The settlers will protect
them until they can have an impartial
trial in Jounson county, and there is no
fear of violence if Governor Barber keeps
his hands off.

River and Harbor Improvements.


WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Senators
Squire and Allen were before the senate
committee on commerce to urge the i'm
portance of river and harbor improve
ments in their state. Senator Squire was
particularly anxious that an appropria-
tion be made for the improvement of the
Columbia river to Vancouver, and urged
at length the necessity for allowing deep
water vessels to reach that city. The
various other improvements suggested,
and Tor which the senators have intro
duced amendments, were asked for, and
each of the senators gave his views upon
the importance of the projects proposed.
They also asked for number of surveys,
and dwelt upon the proposition of sur
veying and improving the Upper Co
lumbia to the international boundary
line, and suggested that 100000 be ap-
propriated TO open up this great water
way through the Eastern Washington
wheat belt. Senator Squire again urged
upon the committee the importance OF
his bill for the Lakes Union and Wash
lngton canal, but the committee did not
decide to report it. Senator Squire is
anxious to secure unanimous report
from the committee on the bill, as Sena :
tor Dolph has assured him that it will be
favorably reported.

promenade costume. In fact she is the very
personificaton of feminine vigor and grace.
Her features may not be classic, and her
nose may be tip-tilted, but when she laughs
there is such a deep, round, hearty, musical
outburst of spirits and vitality that all eyes
look upon the white teeth and cherry lips
with mingled envy and admiration. At
tired as she is, her dress is made up of plaia
and striped woolen stuff, the stripe being 8
blue on white ground. The skirt is blu'
serge, but in some cases she wears red
skirt. The skirt revers are edged with silR
and held back by a button Stimulating
ball. The collar Of the blouse Is OF the same
stuff as the skirt, and is tied with SILK coru'
The cuffs are in harmony with the SKIRT

The very picturesque hat is Of straw, en-
broidered with peacock feather. On some
of her hats the embroidered ornaments

shoes, displaying stockings in harmonious
tone, complete this outing costume.

The Mysterious Double Cocoanut.

After years of vain negotiations the
Royal Botanical Society of London has
at last obtained specimen of that rarest
of Oriental rarities, the coco de mer, or
double cocoauut.
For hundreds of years, and even in
the year 1892, the origin of the coco de
mer is mystery that is yet to be ex-
planned. 1t is unknown to cocoanut
growers and gatherers, and, according to
credible testimony, has never been seen
except when washed upon the shores Of
some tropical country bya mighty storm.
Lilly, the famous astrologer, owned
small one, and Camac, of Paris, another.
To these uncanny nuts the Ignorant
masses of the seventeenth century at
tributed many of the supernatural feats
said to have been performed Dy their
owners. They were aud are supposed
to have wonderful powers in the way
Of curing diseases. At one time it was
reported that there was species of CO.
coauut tree growing on the Island of
Seychelles which grew nothing but these
wonderful nuts. Williams, r. N, ex.
ploded the story, and the COCO dc mer
is still a mystery.-New York Journal.

Cle0patra's Statue.

About two miles east Of AlexandriA,
Egypt, is the plain of Eleusis, now salt
marsh and shallow lake, the result Of
subsidencs of the soil, which at some re-
mote period is believed to have occurred
over large area in the neighborhood OF
Alexandria. In old times there stood on
this plain temple to Ceres Proserpine,l
in front of which was placed, az described
by ancient writers, colossal statues of
Marx Antony and Cleopatra, the former
represented az the god Osiris and the
latter as the goddess Isis. These statues
are described by Mahmud Falaky, an
Egyptian astronomer and savaut, in his
book. published twenty years ago, on
;"Anclent Alexandria," He had seen
them ten years previously when making
researches to find the Canopic road and
to get material to be used by the late
Emperor Napoleon in his ''Vie de Cesar"
Since that time they had disappeared,
probably covered over again during the
leveling of the ground for cultivation.
Daninos Pasha, an energetic local
archaologist, lately began excavations,
and at spot strewn with large numbers
of granite blocks and columns found, as
he believes, the remains of the temple.
Close by he dug out much-mutilated
colossal statae in gray granite, repre-
senting the head aud torso of q woman
wearing the insignia aud coiffure OF Isis. i
The nose is mutilated, but the prominent
eyes, the contour of the cheek, and the
firm rounded chin show the characteris-
tic traits OF the Ptolemies. The head
alone is more,than a metre high. The
sculpture is Of high order and finish,
probably the work OF an able Greek ar.
tlst. A large detached fragment repre-
sents portion Of a mans right hand
the thumb grasping the fingers OF fe-
male hand, which are of proportions
corresponding to those of the statue.
Daninos Pasha identifies his find as GER
tainly the statue of Cleopatra, and con-
siders it to be probably portrait statue
of the famous Queen. If so, it is unique
and of very great interest. He IS con-
tinuing the search for the companion
statue of Mark Antony, which is believed
to have been moved to a considerable
distance, thrown into hole, and covered
I'D. If the search should be successful,
these two statues will be among the most
valuable and interesting relics OF ancient
Alexandria. Times.

RELIGIOUS READING.

heard an old farmer talk one day!
Telling his listeners how
In the wide. new country far away
The rainfall follows the plow.
Gas fast as they break it up, you see,
And turn the heart to the sun,
AS they open the furrows deep and free
And the tillage is begun,
The earth grows mellow, and more and
more
It holds and sends to the sky
A moisture it never had before,
When its face was hard and dry.
"And so wherever the ploughshares run
The clouds run overhead.
And the soil that works and lets in the sun
With wateS is always fed"
wonder if that old farmer knew
The bali of his simple word,
Or guessed the message that heavenly true,
Within it was hidden and heard.
It fell on my ear by chance that day,
But the gladness fingers now,
To think it is always Gods own way
That the ranefall follows the plow.

A Daring Escape.

"It has been calculated that for every
800 bullets fred during the Civil War a
man was killed, but I saw regiment OF
Mississippians who prided themselves on
their Workmanship send that many
bullets after one man and fail to get
him." said Major James Huxley to the
writer. "We were at Corinth, and had
captured a smooth-faced young Yankee,
convicted him of being spy, and sem
fenced him to be hanged. He was
marched out of camp to where a rude
gallows had been hastily erected, and
the regiment detailed to see him into the
next world formed a hollow square.
The prisoner was slight, girlish. looking
fellow with a ba5yish face, and felt
that he should be spared and sent home
to his mother instead of being strung up
as a spy. expected TO see him break
down and beg for mis- life, and was
nerving myself for it, when we were
treated to spectacle of quite different
kind. Just as he mounted the gallows
with guard on either side of him and
two behind him, he slipped his small
hands through his jewelry and let out
right and left, knocking the first two
guards sprawling. The TWO behind him
stood two steps below him. He turned,
yaulted over their heads, and before the
square could come to charge-bayonets
had broken through it and was running
like scared wolf. The regiment broke
into an impulsive cheer, and it was
nearly minute before the order to fire
upon him was obeyed. Then a scatter
ing volley was sent after him. [ don't
know how the others aimed, but l can
make oath that my bullet did not come
within a dozen rods OF him. We gave
chase, but it was like trying to run down
streak of lightning. Once the young
daredevil turned and waved his hand
kerchief, then fled onwards towards the
Federal lines. st. Louis Globe-Demo.

THE ASSURANCE OF THE ASCENSION.

What change took place in the body OF
Jesus as he ascended through the air we may
not be able wholly to tell. That there was
change we know, for flesh and blood cannot
Inherit the kingdom Of God. 1t assures us
that the putting off of this earthly tabernacle
does not affect the spirit. The real change
from earth to heaven is shown in the ascen-
sion. Jesus talked with his friends up to
the moment Of parting. He,was the same In
bis love, his interest, his devotion, bis
thought, his words, as he rose out
of sight They perceived no
change. Had some strong telescope
been in their hands they might have pur-
sued his ascent still further and proved that
distance did not change the character OF the
spirit. He was the same during the hrst
moment out Of sight as before; so the Sec
ond and the third; bad he come again into
sight by the scattering of the cloud, he would
have been the same. The height OF heaven
does Lot make one another person nor does
the transit from earth to heaven. And that
which was true of Christ is true OF our
friends and will be true Of ourselves.
living man with all bis characteristics passed
into heaven in sight of mortals. There is then
assured one living person in heaven who Is as
when he was on earth. The disciples would
have been the same had they assembled in
body. The removal Of our spirits from the
earthly to the heavenly Dody, from eartn U
heaven, will be as little shock as is here dis.
cerned and with as little diminution OF
power or conscious life. We may all take
sublime satisfaction for ourselves in the as
cension as portraying the naturalness OF the
life in heaven and the fact that we pass the
border line, wherever it is, without jar or
friction or change in the quality OF our
habits; with the woman who loses her
self-respect and that Of others; with man
who ends a respectable life with some
deed that Is dishonorsble; with all who fol.
low any course that brings its penalty OF
shame, suffering, and death. 1t is the first
little step that does all; and it may not be so
very bad step in itself-only little wrong.
It NAV be only mistake, indeed, but the
end comes all the same. Let every boy and
girl remember this. Just rs it does not DO
to make mistake at the head OF the stairs,
90 it will not do to make even a mistake IN
the beginning Of lfe-especiay mistake OF
the sort that leads to evil-for it often brings
one to the bottom at last.-[The Myrtle.
