Duck hunters are abroad in the land,
and all available kinds of guns from
the single barrel muzzle leaders up to
the finest grade breech leaders are
belching forth messengers of death to
the ducks that are now on their north
ern migrations. It is not necessary to
seek the distant marshes and lakes in
quest of these aquatic fowls, for they
abound within the corporate confines
of the village. Tuesday morning early,
two fine brakes we're observed by one
of our leading sportsmen, not far from
the fence in the rear of the village
hall. The inspiring spirit of seeing
game filled the hunters manly breast
and visions of wild duck appeared on
his bill of fare for dinner. Quickly
seeking the closet at his place of bust
ness where he keeps his gun, the
sportsman brought out the we'll oiled
fowling-piece and crept cautiously back
on his hands and knees until within 20
or 80 yards of the unsuspecting brakes.
Slowly unfolding to an upright position
and taking deliberate aim, the hunter
touched the sensitive trigger and the
whizzing miSles sped on their fatal
errand. Two noble brakes thrashed
and thumped the glistening sands, a
shout of triumph echoed along the cor
ridors of the village hall, and started
the dormant spiders from their hiber-
nal dreams. Fastening to the scene
of death, the exultant marksman
gathered up his brace of beauties, re-
marking to an assembled throng that
the pleasure of hunting far surpassed
that of any other recreation. The
fowls were on exhibition as evidence OF
the hunters skill until Mr.. E. Mark
spied them dangling from their con.
Mark recognized in the dead ducks
those of a superior kind that he had
recently imported from Germany. He
promptly demanded payment for the
same, but had to call witnesses to con
vince the crest-fallen sportsman of the
claim. Efforts were made to suppress
the circumstances, but the story leaked
out, and the exhilarating influences O.
the hunt are spoken of only in softes
tones in the presence of the man wht
shot Mark s imported brakes.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, July 19.-Agent
Of the pension bureau at Washin e

examination of the rolls of the terri
tory for the purpose of wedding out
frauds which are alleged to exist.
There are l,6O0 cases to be disposed
of. The whole Territory is filled
with fraud and thousands of dol
lars have been obtained Illegally
from the government. The muster
rolls of the regiments raised here
during the rebellion were stolen

MANY OUT OF EMPLOYMENT,
Colorado Has Thousands of Men Who
Are Unable to Find Work.

Denver, Col, July 20.-The clos
ing down of many silver mines and
smelters and the reduction Of the
working forces Of coal mines. rail-
ways and manufactures in the state.
because of the fail in the price of
silver, has caused deplorable con-
dltion of affairs among the laboring
classes 1t Is estimated that to-day
there are in Denver 10000 men un-
able to secure employment and that
there are 10000 in outside towns in
the same condition, one half of whom
are making their way to this city,
where they will become public
charge, if conditions do not speedily
change. In order to avoid this, all
commercial bodies III this city will
meet with the representatives of
| Eastern roads this evening, and the
| latter will be asked to make a S5 rate
from here to the Missouri river for
this class of people 1t is argued
that these men are not paupers, but
if they can get into the agricultural
districts they will be able to secure
employment in harvest fields. where
men will soon be in demand.
The Typographical Union last
night appropriated $1,000 for the
purpose of sending unemployed men
to their homes in the east. The rail
ways have made SIS rate for these
men to any point between here and
Chicago.
A conservative estimate of the
men discharged by the railways,
mines, business houses and factories
since The silver panic started places
the number at from 10000 to $4,000.
1t is also estimated that Colorado,
Utah. Montana and New Mexico
merck ants have countermanded
orders on Eastern wholesale houses
for goods to over S500,00O.

Some time ago Dir. H N Sny-

t. United States Senator Francis

when our constitution was first
adopted our forefathers did not ask
England or any other nation what
our currency should be when they
made gold and silver the currency
OF the country. In his letter Mr.
Snyder further stated that the Unit
ed States should not allow England
or any other nation to dictate to Us
what should be our currency. Mr.
Snyder concluded his letter by stat
ing that congress should make laws
for the laborers and farmers and lei
the capitalists shift for the them
selves In his reply to his letter
Mr.. Snyder has received the follow
ing from Senator CockrelI:

Col. r. D. Blair has purchased a
diamond core drill. which he will
soon put to work on the lands of
Gov. John I. Blair near Browning
ton. He expects to find a heavy
lower vein of coal, and will put down
the drill in number of places to a
depth of at least 300 feet, unless he
finds sufficient vein at shallower
depth.
This drill will take in solid core
an inch and an eight in diameter,
ten feet long, affording an opportu

ground and at what depth.
Col. Blair also expects to drill on
