GRANT.

For years General Grant was
known as a constant smoker.
Grant and his cigar were fam
iliar terms. Finally he was
troubled with a slight soreness
in his throat. He first noticed
the trouble from the fact that
whenever he ate a peach he
suffered the most exquisite
pain. His physicians at first
thought little of it. Then as it
developed they began to think
that possibly something was
the matter, until at last it de-
veloped into cancer. In this
insidious way half the throat
troubles begin, first with a
slight hoarseness, then it settles
into a cough. and finally it de-
velops into consumption. The
safe way is to treat these maj
aides at the outset; lose no
time with them as soon as a
cold manifests itself, take
Reds German Cough and Kid
ney Cure, and at once heal the
congested blood vessels, relieve
the ma Iady, and restore the or
CANS to their wonted tone. For

CANALS ARE POPUL1R.

The great waterways of this country
i'm provement. The recent disasters
upon the Mississippi should be guarded
against as much as, circumstances Will
allow. And, speaking of the Mississippi,
the day is not distant when its northern
arm will be connected with our inland
oceans and ship may sail from New
Orleans to Chicago. Then will come
the Nicaragua canal, by which that
same vessel may proceed directly into
the Pacific and down the western coast
of South America. There is no doubt
that a ship canal will be cut from the
lakes to the Atlantic. Congress has al
ready been asked TO provide for surveys
and make estimates, and when Brother
Jonathan gets so far the end is assured.
Canada is enlarging those waterways
which would admit British war vessels
from the St. Lawrence river to these
lakes, and at present we have no avenue
of approach. Under these conditions,
in a few years from date, the grey
hounds of the ocean will traverse lakes
Erie, Huron, Michigan and Superior,
ancnoring in Chicago and Duluth. A
direct connection via the enlarged Erie
canal and the Hudson river will open
up another stream for traffic to New
York. Talk of ship building and re-
vived maritime interests! What will
people behold who live another fifty
years? That not only railway but naval
supremacy belongs to this republic, and
that supremacy will entail a commercial
importance which today is only feebly

The litigation between lawyer Goode
and Alex Berry of Condor, still boils
with unabated fury. Berry moved to
Marion county about three weeks ago,
taking along few head of horses on
which Goode claims to hold a mortgage.
Last week he had Berry arrested on a
charge of larceny by bailee, and Constaa:-
Bile Carlisle went down to Salem and
brought him back TO Arlington. The
Globe says Berry demanded trial, and
as Goode did not appear to conduct the
prosecution, Squire Zeigler dismissed
the case and Berry was turned loose.
Thus poor old Gillian is sin for it,
again to the tune OF several hundred
dollars unnecessary expense. 1t would
be grand thing for the country if the
law compelled prosecuting witnesses in
such cases to give bonds for the costs.

THEY WALKED OFF.
Mysterious Disappearance.oft the Main
Witnesses Against the Rustlers.

DOUGLAS, Wyo., May "a decided sem
sation was created here this morning by
the sudden and mysterious dsap-
pearance of the only known
witnesses against the ca,tlemen, who
are now prisoners at TT. Russell. II will
be remembered that just before the in
vaders attacked the TX. c." ranch they
captured two trappers named Jones and
Walker who were held prisoners until
after Champion and Ray were killed and
then released Both made their way 10
Casper and on Wednesday last were
brought here and placed in charge OF
Deputy Sheriff Kimball. Theses men
claimed to have witnessed the killing of
Champion and Ray, and as a matter OF
fact are the only living witnesses who can
testify positively against the regulators on
the charge of murder. Kimbal went to
Glen Rock last night, leaving a deputy in
charge, and when he returned
this morning Jones and Walker
had disappeared. The men were
allowed to run about the town during
the day and slept in the office of the Jail.
Both came in late last night, apparently
pretty drunk and about midnight went
out "for walk" leaving the deputy
asleep. From the best Information OBJ
tainable they are still walking. Search
has been made for them and kilograms
have been sent in all directions but no
clue as to their whereabouts has yet been
received. The fugitives carried away two
reVolYers belonging to the sheriff.
