Homicide at Panaca.

Last week, in front of the Coop
store, Panaca, two men named James
Matthews and Nephi Horton engag-
ed in a quarrel, drew their pist OILS
and exchanged shots, seven being
fired in all, Matthews was shot
through the heart, while Orion es-
capped uninjured.
The facts of the case are about as
follows, as brought cut on the pre-
liminary examinations:
1t appears that Matthews had
been drinking during tho morning
and went around the streets acting
i'll boisterous manner. Meeting
Orion, some words passed between
them in relation to horse owned by
Orion, Later they met in front of
the Coop store, when Matthews
made an insulting remark to Orion.
Both men instantly drew their guns
and commenced shooting, Matthews
firing four shots and Orion three.
Matthews shots failed of their OBJ
ject, while two of Orton's shots took
effect, beth striking Matthews in
the right side and passing through
the body, one lodging in the heart.
After firing the fourth shot, Mat
thews started to cross the street, but
had proceeded only few feet when
he dropped dead.

Prairie Fire.

Hennesy, o. T., August "a big
prairie fire is sweeping over the
Cherokee Strip and is driving every
thing before it. The cattlemen are
driving their cattle on dead run to
get away from in front of the fire,
and the boomers who have invaded
the strip have been obliged to re
treat as fast as their horses could
carry them.
1t is generally believed that the
fire was started by United States
cavalry. 1t will prove crushing
blow to the boomers who intended to
stake out claims on the strip, as it
will completely destroy the forage.

HILL VS.. CLEVELAND.
The New York Senator Ont for
Free Coinage.

The news comes from Albany, N,
Y, that Senator David b. Hill is
preparing free coinage bill to be
introduced at the com ing session of
congress. 1t is intended to establish
free coinage as it existed prior to the
infamous characterization act of 1873,
though he favors a change of ratio
from 16 to 1 to log to /, the latter
being the standard in European
countries.
Senator Vest of Missouri, whom
the goldbug press has represented as
wagering in his allegiance to silver.
declared at st. Louis few days ago
that the nation cannot be converted
to monometallism. The country is
now at its most critical period in its
financial history. We have been
trying makeshifts of one kind or an
other since 1873, until expedients
will avail no longer. We must take
up silver and defend it or drop it,
declare that it is not available as a
basis of currency and that the con
stitutionaI right granted to congress
to coin money means that we shall
coin gold only.
How is it., says Senator Vest,
"that France, with population of
only 40, 900, 900 and a territory one
thirtieth as large as ours, can keep
800, 900, 900 of silver on parity
with gold, and a gold reserve of $780,
100000! What is the matter with
our Statesmen that we connot do
that? Put the question of a gold
standard to the people of Missouri
and they would declare for the reten-
ton of silver by 5000 majority.
Get away from the cities and you
meet nothing but silver men"
Three -fcurths of the Democratic
senators are in accord with Vest and
Hill on the silver question. They
on that issue the sentiments
of the majority of those who elected
Cleveland and they viii not recreant
when the battle is waged in congress.
The panic created by the gold trust
to precipitate the repeal of the Sher-
man act will not accomplish that OBJ
iect and the outlook for an absolute
free coinage bill is brighter today |
than it has been for years. The
people begin to realize that silver
and gold are necessary for the bus
ness requirements of the country
md that free coinage will give silver,
is it does gold, a fixed value which
he money kings of Lombard and
Wall street cannot change.

What do you mean?' inquired the

II mean this: The average American
citizen is woefullv deficient in knowl-
edge of what he can get to eat He
falls down when it comes to ordering
a dinner. The great ma iority of peo-
pie in this country are brought up
frugally at home and do not know any
thing but the commoncst dishes. The
consequence is that when n man goes
into a restaurant for dinner or to
hotel he gazes helplessly at the bill of
fare and sees many things of which he
does not know the component parts.
He dares not order anything that he is
not sure of. for fear of ridicule. and he
falls back on roast beef and mashed
potatoes. The fact is, he doesn't know
anything but roast beef. Same way
in a restaurant. When waiter shoves
2 bill of fare under mans nose nine
times ont of ten he will look it over
and then say: Gimme steak and
some fried potatoes Now. the man
who does this day fter day doesn't
want roast beef. He is sick unto death
of steaks and fried potatoes. He
loathes ham and eggs, and yet he keeps
on ordering them in dreary and dys-
peptic succession, because he doesn't
know any better and he is too pround
to confess his ignorance. It's that way
with me, and III bet it's that way with

AMERICAN BUSINESS LIFE.

Ope of the Things Which an English
Gentleman Cannot Understand.
This business life of American gen
tlemen is one of the hardest problems
for an Englishman to understand cor
rectly, says the Nineteenth Century.
Till comparatively lately in England
commercial business, except banking,
has not been thought highly Of for
gentlemen. Politics, the church, the
army and navy, the bar, etc, have
been the outlets for English younger
sons. In America it is quite different.
Among the many reasons for this
will mention but the one important
one, that the pursuits above men
toned afford but few openings, COM
paratively speaking.
The church is poorly-paid profess
sion for the sons of the wealthy 1ner-
chants, and the army and navy are SO
small in number that they do not af-
ford field for more than few. The
bar is, of course, open, and is crowded
in America as in England. Politics.
for some inscrltable reason, does not
seem to attract many of the higher
grades of youth. Consequently, the
field, and in every American city,
especially in the west, one finds at the
head of cultivation and progress men
whose rise has been due to successful
commercial enterprise. 1t is well for
.he individual that success should be
so rewarded, and it is well for the
community, also, that the man Of bust
ness, who has gained his success on
legitimate lines, should be its leader.
In new and partly unsettled country
like America, so fortunately situated
as to need practically no foreign pol
icy. and to fear no foreign enemies,
the creator or the distributor of wealth
is far more valuable man than the
politician or the soldier.
The sanguineness of the American is
another feature especially striking to
an outsider. The whole temper of the
people is one of hope. No young man
enters life in any line without the
fullest belief that he is going to sue
coed, and going TO make great deal
of money, and do it all very quickly.
This may be true of young men every
where, but it is especially SO in the
states. And men are justified in their
youthful hopes.
Practically any young man Of rea-
sonable brains and industry is sure to
succeed. Openings are numerous. and
the sharp-witted American is quick to
take advantage of them. 1t is curl
Gus fact, but one that | have often
heard employers of unskilled labor
comment upon. that none of their
worllmen were American born, unless,
possibly, some of the foremen. As an
Englishman, | am glad to add that
rarely are Englishmen either found as
unsl1illed laborers in American work.

AN OLD IDEA.
The German Poet. Goethe, Eorssa tho

DR.. julius Goebel, professor Of
Germanic pbilology and literature at
Stanford university, says that Goethe
received most of his ideas on geography
from his intimate friend Herder, the
father of the science il Germany, who.
in his turn, had been a disciple Of
Baron Won Hum boldt. They had many
erroneous ideas, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, but that is not sur
prising when it is considered that in
the middle of the last century certain
parts of the earth were supposed to Re
inha bited by giants and certain other
parts by dwarfs.
Goethe conceived the universe 70
consist of earthly. sidereal and celestial
elements. Each star. he thought, was
governed by a separate spirit. That
of the earth was a personal being
known as the earth spirit 1t was the
perSonifcation of the eternal creative

THE GREAT BARRIER REEF.
One of tho Marine Wonders OF the Aus
tralian Coast.

One of tho Marine Wonders Of the Aus
tralian Coast.
One Of the wonders of the world is
the great barrier reef Of Australia.
This stupendous rampant of coral,
stretching in an almost unbroken limo
for twelve hundred and fifty miles
tralia, presents features Of interest
which are not to be equaled in any
other quarter of the globe.
Nowhere is the action of the little
marine insect which builds up with un-
firing industry those mighty mOnu-
ments with which the tropical seas are
studded more impressive: nowhere are
the wonderful constructive forces Of
nature more apparent. By a simple
process of accretion there has been
reared in the course of countless cen
turtles an adamantine wall, against
which the gigantic pillows OF the Pa
ci6c, sweeping along in an uninter-
rupted course of several thousand
miles, dash the mselves in Intellectual
fury.
Enclosed within the range of its pro-
tecting arms is a calm inland sea,
eighty thousand square miles in ex-
tent, dotted with multitude of coral
islets and presenting at every turn Oh
jects of interest alike to the unlearned
traveller and the man of science. Here
may be witnessed at one hundred diff
ferent points the singular process by
which the wavy gelatinous living mass
hardens into stone, then serves as
collecting ground for the iiotsam ano
ietsam of the ocean, and ultimately
develops an island covered with lux
urious mass of tropical growth.
Here again. may be seen in the
serene depths of placid pools extraor
binary forms of marine life, aglow
with the most brilliant colors and pro-
ducing in their infinite variety be-
wildering sense of the vastness OF the
life of the ocean
