an ALLCoCK' Porous PLASTER is
an excellent comforter, combining the

Live Papers Make Live Towns,

No newspapers, no matter how ably
edited or how enterprisingly conduct,
ed, can long keep atloat and abreast
with the times when published in a
dead town. 1t takes live town to
make live newspaper. There never
was in the past hundred years, never
will and never can be live town
without live newspaper. The news
paper is dependent Oh the town. 1t
reflects the push, progress and aspi'a
tons Of a town. Without home pat
ronage it cannot live and thrive; then
again, while it is dependent on the
town, the town cannot get along
without it. There is no auxiliary 50
valuable to a growing town as an
outspoken, pub!ic-spiri.ed paper,
wisely and well managed.
Nor is that all; the business man
who does not advertise in it, and the
enterprising citizen who does not
subscribe for it and talk up for it,
stands i'll its own liglt and is STUN
tling block in the way OF his new
city's progress. Help the press in
your town, aud in zine hundred and
ninety.rine out If one thousand cases
it will return yonr help many fold.

They Are Not Likely to Ike Blown In,

Captain B. G. Dah'grer, who came
to Wood River few days ago, was
in town to-day, and a TIMES reporter
asked him it there was any truth in
the report that he was to "blow in"
the smelling furnaces and take the
general management Of tho Phil
adelphia & Idaho Company's business
here?
No; the Captain said, he has not
come to take charge Of the company's
affairs here, nor to start up the works.
But as mining man and stock.
holder in the company he was looking
around to see what, ii anything, can
be done. He did not know that any.
thing particular would be done; nor
did he know how long he would stay
here. He was liable TO leave at any
time for Arizona, where he is inter-
ested in big property. But he ex.
poets to remain here few days longer.

A Clever Diamond Robbery.

A Clever Diamond Robbery.
The death of the famous thief, Wal
ter Stewart, alias Sheridan, in a Non
treal prison recalls a bold robbery
committed in a diamond merchants
store by him and pal, ten years ago,
which for skill and success has never
been equaled in Philadelphia. Then
Sheridan was the most expert dia-
mond thief in America, and a decoy
jewel box in the possession of Joseph
X. Davidson, of No. IT'S SAMSON
street, is the only relic OF the daring
theft and the mute remainder OF the
skill of the master thief.
Though Sheriden and his pal were
arrested for the crime some time later
not a shadow OF the jewels were ever
seen by the victim or the detectives.
The box is a tin one about eight
inches long, four inches wide and one
inch deep. 1t contains white and
blue papers, usually inclosing loose
stones, but salt is the substance in
them. Toward the end of March,
1880, Sheriden, in company with
Dave Cummings anothernote crook,
visited Davidson's placeand purchas-
ed for $50 a diamond ring. They
carefully noted the exact shape, size
and appearance of the diamond box
while selecting the stone from the
collection.
Two days later they came back,
looked at the box again and depart
ed without purchasing. When Dav-
idson examined his trusty box he
found its counterpart in its place fill
ed with the salt paper, While the
salesman was busy they cleverly
substituted the false box and were
perfectly successful in playing their
trick.-Jeweler's Review.

Kissed the Wrong Man,

There came near being a tragedy
at the Union Depot at Indianapolis
the other day.
Il pleasant-faced little woman went
TO the station, equipped for a Jour
ney. She was young and pretty, and
her young husband went down to
see her silGe!Eoif. The woman was
nervous. Finally the train came in.
1t was a moment of great excite
ment. The couple hurried out to the
gate. Hundreds of people werepush-
ing and hurrying. The little woman
lost her head completely. At the big
iron gate her husband had to stop.
The gateman took her ticket. She
threw her arms about her husbands
neck frantically, turned around and
started through, then, with a final
"good-by," turned quickly back and,
like ii flash, soundly kissed the gate
man.
She did not discover her mistake,
but the crowd broke into a great
laugh, and it was a question whether
the husband or the gateman was the
more embarrassed. They looked at
each other, red as fire, for amoment,
then laughed and shook hands.
Its all right, she thought it was
me-" explained the husband, turning
away.
But all that day the gentleman
was observed to grow pensive, and a
faraway look would come into his
eye whenever he had a little leisure TO
think.

A Blind Woman Farmer.

There is a blind girl living at Oak
Hill, Tex, who is an encouraging
example even to those women who
can see. A few years ago she began
to cultivate a few acres of land, which
was up to that time unfenced and
wild. Now she clears about $500 a
year from thesale of vegetables and
fruit which she raises. Her domain
is neatly fenced in, a well and
a pump have been added, and she
bought a piano and a cart to carry
her produce TO the market, which is
twenty miles away. Every evening
during the dry season she waters a
certain numbers of plants, until she
has gone over the entire place, when
she repeats the process. Insect life
she detects from her acute sense of
hearing, and readily distinguishes
grass and weeds from plants by her
sensitive touch.

Episcopal Indians In Convention.

The convOcatiOn of the Niobrara
deanery has just closed its session at
the Forest City agency, being the an
nual meeting of the Episcopal church
among the Indian nations. Delegates
representing the Santee, SisSeton,
Yankton, Lower Brule, Grow Creek,
Cheyenne, Standing Rock, Rosebud
and Pine Ridge agencies were, present.
Besides these there were a number of
the chiefs and hundreds of other In
dianS, mostly those belonging to the
Episcopal church. Looking up and
down the river for several miles there
was nothing to be seen except Indian
tents and wigwams, presenting the
appearance of quite a lively little city
Troop Z. Eighth cavalry, from Fort
Meade, in command of Lieut.. Byron,
numbering some hundred men, was
camped two miles south of the agency.
These, with the aid of the Indian
cavalry company of the agency, gave
a grand military paradea at the agency
grounds which was very fine. The
business meetings, as well as the SER
vices, were conducted in both the Eng
lish and the Indian languages so that
all who had any desire might learn
what Christianity hasdoneand is do
ing for the Indians through the Epis-
copal church. The exercises begun
September 3 and closed September I,
and were conducted by Bishop Hare.

Can't Find the Ghost.

New York Times: Detective Wis
lance and Policeman Gallagher, who
were detailed by Chief McKane, of
the West Brighton (Coney Islandj
police, to hunt down the alleged
ghost in the old Oceanic hotel at
West Brighton, reported last evening
that they had spent the hours
between midnight and daybreak in
the hotel and had failed. to see or
hear anything that would resemble a
ghost. With a lantern they searched
the verandas and every Don in the
hotel several times during the night.
Mrs. Gregory, a-guest, speaking
about the alleged ghost last night,
said: II have heard this mysterious
thing every night for the past three
weeks. Several times l have heard
it walking on the yeranda, and, open
ing my window, with revolver in
hand, inquired who was there, but
each time failed to receive IN answer.
The other night / heard footsteps in
my room and saw the lamp mav on
the table, but could not see the cause.
Mrs. Sherwood, who occupies a
room underneath the Gregorgs, is
positive that the strange visitor
knocked on her door several times,
but was invisible.
