A Youthful Desperate.

Los Angeles, July 10.-Fourteen-
year-old Edward Blair of this city
promises to outdo Sontag if his career
is not cut short This morning he at
tempted to rob a playfellow of 30 cents
and on his victim running away he
pulled out 38 caliber revolver and
fired, putting ball through the other
boys shoulder and inAicting what the
doctors say is likely to prove fatal
wound.
The wounded boy is Ambrose Cruz,
only 13 years old. The two were play
ing, when Cruz unfortunately showed
half dollar, which Blair demanded
and which Cruz refused to give him.
Cruz was running to hide behind a
house, when Blair ran up to within a
few feet of him and fired with the re-
suit above stated.
The scream of young Cruz attracted
the attention of his mother, who was
near, and she ran up, intending to
capture Blair, but the youngster level
ed his gun at her and she fell back in
dead faint. By this time crowd
had gathered and an attempt was
made to capture the boy, but his evil
dent determination to kill any one
who touched him kept every one at
bay, and he took refuge in barn.
Officer Arguella found him there and
succeeded in capturing him and lodg-
hina in jail.

A Race for a Bride.

Miss Annie Story is the daughter of
Colonel H. E. Storey. She is very
beautiful. Her education is the best.
Colonel Story lived at Yorkville, Ga.
and is leading man in Paulding
county. Miss Annie of all her ad-
mirers could not decide between An
drew McBrayer and Dave Govan.
Finally Miss Annie sent for the minis
ter and the two young men. She told
the gallants after they came into her
presence that the one who would get
back to her first with marriage licen-
Sc should be her husband, both men
to leave Yorkville at the same time,
to ride to Dallas the county seat. The
young men were well mounted. The
distance was nineteen miles. The
race was hot one McBrayer, the
rich lover, got to the the Ordinary
first and secured license before Go
van put in appearance. The latter,
moment afterward, hurriedly ex-
planned things to the Ordinary, also
oCCuA Su q llCO1loO dlll Ill d lc" AAOuOllUo
was also on his way back to Yorkville.
The race was a hard one. Govan was
desperate. McBrayer was the better
mounted. Govan was poor and rode
no horses like those of his rival. But,
stout-hearted, he raced to the finish.
Miss Story and her father and the
minister waited on the front piazza
for the racing rivals. McBrayer first
put in appearance. He was excited,
and way down the big road it was
seen that his horse was nearly exhaust
ed. The race seemed his. He was
nearing the gate. In moment Go
van appeared in by-path. He was
200 yards ahead of McBrayer. He
first reached the piazza and won the
prize. He had taken short cut
through the woods. The ceremony
was performed. McBrayer gracefully
acknowledged being honorably defeat
ed, and he joined in the festivities of
one of the most noted wedding cere-
monies that ever occurred in the his
tory of Paulding county. st. Louis

A REAT SCHEME.
A Process for Extracting Gold, From
the Waters Of the Great Salt Lake.

A Process for Extracting Gold, From
| the Waters of the Great Salt Lake.
The Great Salt Lake is the greatest
gold mine in the world, says the Salt
Lake Herald:
All salt water contains small per
cent of gold and Captain Davis after
numerous assays, satisfied himself
that the water of the great lake car
ries So ton in gold. After four years
of experimenting, Mr.. Davis has in
vented a method to extract the gold,
at cost not to exceed 30 cents per
ton. He estimates that there are 15,-
600, 100000 tons of water in the
Great Salt Lake and that it carries
$40, 900, 900, 900 in gold.
To save this by using the method
Mr.. Davis has devised will cost 30
per ton or So, 500, 900, 900, leaving
net etproft of $37, , 300, 900, 900, the same
being ten times more than the entire
amount of gold money in the world.
The existence of gold, silver and
other metals in solution in the waters
of the Great Salt Lake has been an
open secret for many years. Assayers
and chemists have precipitated traces
of gold, but no one has applied him
self seriously to devise means to ex-
tract the gold except Captain Davis,
who has after four years of patient ap-
plication discovered a method of treat
ing the brine and saving the gold at
an expense of not to exceed 30 cents
per ton of water.
The amount of gold the waters of
the Great Salt Lake carry is variously
estimated at from 80 cents to $3 per
ton of water. The assays made by
Captain Davis, show one-half to six
ounces in silver, So in gold and traces
Of copper and lead, with large deposits
of iron. The great lake, according to
Mr.. Davis, is great teaching vat
with the minerals all in solution, and
what it requires to secure them for
commerce is precipitation.
The absence of life in the salt water
Mr.. Davis attributes partly to the
existence of minerals the lead being
particularly detructive to all life.
Trout have been known to die simply
by feeding their tanks with fresh water
through lead pipe.
The existence of minerals in the
water of the Great Salt Lake is very
natural, for salt water cannot flow
over rocks without absorbing a small
percentage of the minerals they con-
tain. This work has been going ON
for centuries and if the mineral wash
ed into the lake in year was infinit-
esimal it would amount to considerable
in century. Many of the mostpop
ular processes for extracting gold ore
by salt water solution, and we have in
the lake natural absorbent.
Captain Davis calculates that a plant
consisting of tanks for precipitating
the metals capable of treating 600 tons
day can be erected for $1,000. AS
there will be net profit of 50 30 on
every ton treated, the mill will earn
$500 day, or more than pay for it
self in twenty-four hours.

A Mans Labor His Capital.

All prospects that look like they
may make mine don't develop into
one. It takes capital to develop a
prospect into mine. A mans labor
is capital. Why all this nonsense
about Eastern capitalists being bitten
in mines? 1t they put money into a
developed mine they can measure it's
value the same as corn in crib. If
they won't take the pains to find out
what they purchase they are not busi-
ness men. If they purchase a pros
pect they have no guarantee that they
will get their money back, yet on the
other hand they may reap rich harry
est by the expenditure of little
money. The man who has the real
risk is the one who seeks amid recess
es of the mountains for the metals.
He risks his life and if he finds nothing
his time is gone for naught. He may
locate good looking prospects and
spend years opening them up, with
his limited means, only to find that
there is no pay in it. Eastern people
don't put money in mines only for ex-
pected gain, and if they lose occasion
ally it is no more than the prospector
and real miner does. Is it not fact
that they win oftener than they lose;
that millions taken from the western
hills finds it's way into the pockets of
Eastern men = Mohave County

S. p. SMITH, of Towanda, Pa,
whose constitution was completely
broken down, is cured by Ayers
Sarsaparilla. He writes:
"For eight years, was, most of the
time, great sufferer from constipa-
tion, kidney trouble, and indiges-
tion, so that my constitution seemed
to be completely broken down. I was
induced to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with such
excellent results that my stomach,
bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con-
dition, and, in all their functions, as
regular as clock-Work. At the time
I began taking Ayers Sarsaparilla, my
weight was only 129 pounds; now can
brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so
good health. If you could see me be-
fore and after using, you would want
me for travelling advertisements.
I believe this preparation of Sarsaparilla
to be the best in the market today"

A TARPoN rUssLE.
The Fish Escapes From the Angler. but
II Nipped by q shark.

II Nipped by n shark.
At Sarasota, Fla, hooked a tar
pom. says writer in the American
Angler. 1t took me thirty minutes
to work him to sand flat alongside
of the boat. ready for the gaff. NY
boatman being a mere boy ana this
the first tarpon he saw within his
reach. was very nervous. and put the
gait in the fish's gills instead of the
throat. The fish had its head toward
the stern. and when he felt the gaff
swung around to the bow. nearly pull
ing the boy overheard. getting my
line around the handle of the gaff.
Johnnie pressed the handle on the
side Of the boat and forced the fish's
head about two feet out of the water.
Seeing the perilous situation of af-
fairs. threw my rod in the boat. and
foolishly taking snood in one hand
and gaff in the other. told Johnnie to
take the shark hook. which he had
in the boat. and put it in the fish; but
before this could be done the fish
made supreme effort to free him
self. throwing the gaff out. breaking
my line and slowly swimming away.
leaving me with feeling of disap-
pointment that only fisherman can
appreciate. and that. too, after hav-
ing waited four weeks for tarpon.
johnnie, that fish is badly hurt"
said l, 1--WE will find him on the bank
tomorrow il shark doesn't find him
before. and slowly proceeded to put
my tackle in shape for another trial.
"Look at that big shark; he is after
something white" exclaimed john
ME. Sure enough. a huge shark
with his dorsal fin six inches out of
water met my gaze. Take up the
anchor and We will see what's the
trouble" said l. Strange to say.
when We reached the spot the shark
moved slowly away and we found our
tarpon on bis side. still alive. minus
his tail and a large piece from his
back. bitten out by the shark. We
boated and took him home and he
measured FIVE feet ten inches and
weighed ninety pounds in his mutilat-
ed shape.

he deserves congratulations.

Mr.. Croft's poem, The Proph-
ecy," is receiving the attention of the
critics at present and it is unnecessary
to say that they unhesitatingly pro-
nounce it sheer rot. Yes it was rot,
but not any worse than the rot which
Mr.. Tennyson and Mr.. Swinburne
have inflicted on the public, not any
worse rot than MIR. Browning has
based his reputation upon and at least
it may be said that the cause for which
he wrote it was a good one and it is
doubtful is anybody heard it at the
opening or if anybody but the critics
and the proof readers read it after il
was printed. Mr.. Crofuts poem was
quite harmless and it served the pur-
pose-nothing more was needed.

SUNDAY AND THE FAIR.

The threatened Sunday opening OF
the fair has aroused a feeling which
promisesto bring anything butgood to
either the fair or the charlottesville
1t Is quite possible that the former
= Ill De the least injured.
There are good and able ministers
who after mature deliberation have
given it as their opinion that the fair
should be opened on Sunday and
surely they would not thus decide
were it wholly wrong.
1t is true that Sunday is the proper
time for church going, but as sup
position, should all the visitors who 90
to Chicago TO attend the
fair, give over Sunday to
church-going, they would not be able
to find churches to hold them.
Chicago has erected many hotels
for the benefit of her guests, she has
not put either annexs to her churches
or erected new ones; she has not an
ticipated anything but Worlds fair
visitors and she has thus shown her
good sense.
1t was notexpected to open the entire
fair to Sunday visitors, the attractions
are such as will instruct and ele-
vate and those who would otherwise
spend the day in the parks, or per-'
haps worse places, would be given an
opportunity which they have perfect
right to observe. As to the laboring
element, it is a fact beyond the per-
adventure of doubt that their best
opportunity for seeing the fair is on
Sunday. 1t is well understood
that the fair can not be seen
in a day, and not in many
days and the laboring man must, if
he cannot see that which he has as
much right to see as his rich neighbor,
on Sunday, lose his time. perhaps his
employment, as well as the money
which he pays out in entrance fees,
etc. He thus is compelled to nav
twice as much as the sleek well kept
church crank, for the same privileges
the latter enjoys.
1t is true that it is a commandment |
to remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy" but is there nothing
spiritual in this keeping? Are we to
believe that the merely material was
meant! If so, is not the humble

AN OLD. OLD COACH.
The Gorgeous Vehicle I'm Which the Elm
peror Charles ". Rode.

The carriage in which the recently
married crown princess of Austria
made her entry into Vienna is a mar
vel of the coach-builder's art.
The carriage was built in the year
100. at Madrid. for the Emperor
Charles ", in the rich baroque style
then in fashion. 1t is lined within
with cramoisy silk, and adorned with
gold f..inges.
The roof is also similarly lined. and
from its four corners hang tassels of
gold. Round the edge of the roof is
a great deal of elaborate bronze work,
at the four corners are punches of
golden flowers. and vine tendrils,
whilst over the center of the whole is
a gilt crown adorned with precious
stones.
On all sides are windows filled with
venetian crystal glass; the pillars
which support the roof are adorned
with costly carved work. the panels
inside below the windows bear
painted representations of princely
virtues.
1t is usually supposed that these
paintings were the work of Rubens;
such. however, is not the case; they
were made in 1868 by the Viennese
artist WagenschOn. The carriage
swings by four straps. which are
adorned with gold ornaments. Very
are the double imperial
eagle. sword, sceptre and crown.
What little wood work there is is
covered with red lacquer; all the iron
work is gilded. The form of the
spokes of the wheels is also note
worthy. they appear to be plated
and were the work OF a
sculptor. The whole Of the wheels
and the axles are brilliantly lac
quered.

The Kansas City and Colorado rail-
road, which has been sold to a syndi-
cate, as will be seen in another column,
will run via of Sedalia and will thus
give this city the advantage of a

Denver to St. Louis. 1t is not worth
while to dilate upon this advantage,

that every new railway line is, if not
a revenue of wealth, yet source of
progress which cannot be over esti-
