And go make my fortune awhile in the city.

A GOOD RIFLE SHOT,
An Gid Timer Who Could Pcrfor,
Wonders with u Gun.

An Gid Timer Who Could Perform
Wonders with n Gun.
The finest rifle shot that ever
named King Woolsey. an old timer,
who lived near Yuma, Arizona, in the
good old stage days of the west" said
the story-teller. This man Woolsey
was originally from Ohio. lie moved
to Arizona in his early childhood.
When he was about the age of ten his
father and mother were killed and
scalped by the Apaches. He hid in the
rocks and escaped. Five years later,
when he was "A mere boy, he went on
the warpath for the Apaches, and he
never spared one. lie could not count
exactly how many he had killed in his
life.
THE last time | saw him was ole
day while the stage stopped to let the
horses rest near Texas Hill, on the
ella river, in ls72. His fame MS a
rifle shot had spread all over the west,
and the mention of his name filled the
Apaches' hearts with fear and trem-
bling The passengers persuaded him
to give an exhibition of his marksman-
ship and he consented. He nailed a
board up to the side of little shantv,
and put one hundred balls at a dis
lance of one hundred yards in the
same place, without :he difference OF
sixteenth of an inch in one hundred
shots. He then drove the nails far
into the board with ten more shots.
Every one applauded. Then he took q
common bullet. tied it to an infini-
tesiinally small thread. fastened the
thread to the limb OF q tree twenty
feet above the ground, placed small
necled bottle ON the ground, and
started the bullet swinging to and
fro. He walked back fifty PAGES,
wheeled suddenly around and fired
Well. geutl emen, Won may stuff me
with sawdust and exhibit me at the
worlds fair as the biggest liar in the
universe if Woolsey didn't cut that
string in twain with his rife ball and
make the bullet drop in the mouth of
that bottle. st Louis Republic.

styles Appropriate for Young Matrons
When Giving Informal Receptions.
The Empire styles now in vogue are
carried ont in the handsome tea gowns
that young matrons, and their unmar-
ried sisters as well, wear when receiv-
ing intimate friends informally. The
fabrics are soft wool crepon Ienriet tia
cloths cashmere, and faced-cloth, while
very elegant tea gowns are of velvet
striped with satin, or else wrought in
small dots. The acme of elegance is IA
gown of eminence velvet wrought with
dots OF lighter silk, the back in broad
Vatican plat, the straight fronts fall
ing from yoke of white guipure over
eminence bengaline. Two dropping
ruffies of satin attach the front to the
yoke, and it is adjusted to the figure at
the waist-line by satin ribbons passed
through button holes wrought in the
velvet The sleeves have large puffs of
velvet to the elbow, with close guipure
sleeves below lined with bengaline.
This costly gown is reproduced at much
less expense in mauve cloth or crepon,

Tortured and Killed.

San Luis Potosi, Mex, May 8. =
The physicians who performed the
autopsy on the body of jose Antonio
Rascon, the millionaire merchant
and brother of the late Mexican
Minister to Japan, WHO was recently
tortured and beaten to death, find
that his death was caused by the
blows on his head, and that the
other bruises and burns would not
have place his life in danger. Ras-
con camo to Mexico with Luceon
Tortur Blanco and his son Francisco,
and Eduardo Guerrero, all of whom
have been arrested.
The names of persons high in the
State Government Of San Luis Potosi
are mixed up in the affair, and the
authorities are determined to probe
the matter to the bottom and bring
out the whole truth. The object of
the torture and murder was to ex-
tort money from Rascon.

| The Opera Honse was well filled
last night to see the Walker Turner

was cat-like, Mullen was cow-like.
A few scads were tossed upon the
stage.
Allen and Purcell follow with a
four round go and made red hot
finish. Allen stated that he would
fight Purcell in Carson any time,
but that the audience could not ex-
pect finish fight on the present oc-

while the soldier was more supple
and slight in his build.
Tim Dempsey and Dan O'Keef
were chosen time keepers and the
fight began.
There was very little fighting in

once or twice, and was countered by
Walker.
Round 4-Rush from Walker;

The domes of the Liberal Arts building
az they stand are extremely Interesting as
experiments In field to which America
has not thus far contributed many work
ers. The decorators OF the domes OF the
Liberal Arts building have had to paint on
curved surfaces to he seen from beneath,
and they have been met by difficulties, such
as those of complicated foreshortening,
which, it may be presumed, few American
artists have been accustomed to attack un-
der similar circumstances.
Among the painters, Mr.. Cox has some
Of Paul Baudry's science, and so has Mr..
Blashheld. Mr.. Cox has a share of that
mastery OF draftsmanship and the laws Of
perspective which puts something into
picture that goes through IL like an cleo
trio shock. Immediately the figure painted
by man with this gift lifts up its head, as
II were, and has being on the surface
which has received it. Mr.. Cox's figures
have vitality, and they owe It to the fact
that technically they are sound. Butwhnt
also proves him mural painter from whom
much is to be expected II he is given other
opportunities in the future is the thor
oughness with which he has done all his
work. In decoration Of this sort shabby

The balustrades and the bands for the
leg ends in Mr.. Cox's dome are drawn with
delightful armness. Mr.. Blashfeld's
dome is not distinguished by remarkable
craftsmanship, but In purely decorative
way he has accomplished much.-Royal
