 For press and election purposes, some journalists received 200, 1000 lire, and others 75, GOO lire. The documents aimed at Premier Crispi mentioned several drafts in his name. and he fig ured also in connection with note for iIFts | ms HObe WIS aIIGInuIeu in certain letters from Signor Crispi's wife to other persons, mentioning their names.
 Among the documents are four let ters written by Signor Tanlongo, the manager of the bank, while he was in prison, addressed to Signor Giolitti. These letters state that the deficit in the bank was due to expenditures among ministers, senators, members of the press and others. Tanlongo in one of the letters says that he gave credit of 350, 900 lire to certain persons on the recommendation and assurance of Sig nor Grispi that the creditors were solvent. He insinuates that the money was not destined for these persons. In another letter Tanlongo declares that these statements were imposed upon him by Signer Giolitti.
 In the chamber of deputies Premier Crispi declared that the documents were mass of lies.
 It is expected that immediately after the publication of the Giolitti docu- ments a royal decree will be issued proroguing the chambers. It is not unlikely that the chamber of deputies will be dissolved.

 In accordance with Gen. Nodzu's instructions. the Feng tIuang garrison. which was confronted on December l2 by LOGO Chinese, began an attack on the enemy at aybreak yesterday morn- ing. The garrison was HOO strong and was commanded by Col. Tomoya- su.
 The main battle took place at Yin Min shan, five miles from Fong Huang. The Japanese attacked with spirit and defeated the Chinese, driving them to Timatsh. The Japanese loss was three officers killed and seventy priyatcs killed and wounded; the Chinese, 250 killed and wounded and thirty prison- CTS. The Japanese captured four field guns. The Chinese prisoners say that Gen. had under him more than 4,000 Kerin troops, who were in every way superior to the Chinese.

Fred Hillman. of the local wool firm
of Rich & Hillman. says they have
done satisfactory business so far this
year. The wool pulling at the tan
merry has ceased for the present, but
thousands Of pelts have been handled
there this summer. The wool taken
from them found remunerative mar
kets. The firm has already handled
100000 pounds of wool. This wool var
led in value from to cents
There was a surprising difference in
the quality of wool offered by the va
rious growers. Those who take pains
to grade their sheep up realize the top
prices, while those who let their stock
run down reap bottom prices. This
half million pounds of wool was
mostly shipped east on consignment.
1t was probably worth $4,000, or an av-
erage of 8 cents per granddaughter.

A Pathetic Little Story.

Mamie Erdmann is dangerously i'll.
A pathetic little story leads up to her
sickness. 1t seems the child was fond
ly attached to Peter Koford's babe.
Mamie was heartbroken over the
baby's illness this week She was a
faithful watcher at the bedside of the
babe Wednesday morning it grew
worse Mamie started out TO notify
some relatives who lived in the north
ern outskirts of the town. On her
lonely trip along the quiet streets, the
child claims she looked up into the
blue heavens and there she saw her
baby friend. 1t was smiling and hold
ing out both chubby little arms to her
Frightened and perplexed by the
strange vision, Mamie sped on. Reach
ing her destination, she told the people
the babe was dead and had gone to
heaven On being questioned, she said
no it was not dead when she left its
bedside, but that she had seen it in the
heavens and knew it had died. The
child turned and fled back. On her
way she suddenly fell fainting to the
grsund She was taken I'D and borne
home 10y kind hands But before she
reached home the spirit of her baby
friend had left its mortal body and
passed to the great beyond. Some will
say this vision was the picture of a
vivid inauguration; others that the
babe did linger on it's way to the bet
ter world to scat one parting smile
upon its dear little friend on
earth.-Bugle.

FOR ETERNAL LIFE.
Sell Whatsoever Thou Hast and Give
to the Poor.

At the Swedenborgian church on O'Far-
rell street. near Webster, the topic dis
coursed upon by the Rev. +. l.. Higgins
yesterday morning was taken from Mark
X. 81: Sell whatsoever thou hast and give
to the poor"
Mr.. Higgins said a careful study of this
passage shows why the rich young ruler
was instructed 10 sell all in order to be-
come perfect. It was because his posses
sion of that great wealth made him feel
himself superior to the poor. He ran and
kneeled at the Lords fee, and asked what
good thing TO do 10 inherit eternal life.
But 1t was some remarkable deed, some
thing that common people were unable to
do. This feeling of his superiority grow
ing out OF his possession of wealth and
not the wealth itself was what was wrong
Therefore be must sell all aud share with
the poor upon whom he had before looked
down.
Now, this command TO sell all and give
to the poor applies equally TO Christians of
to-day. If by virtue of possessing any
wealth we feel ourselves superior In any
way TO those who have nothing or
not so much as we, then we are not follow
Ing the diylne teacher, and we must sell IL
diSpOssess ourselves of whatsoever we
have that gives Us our fancied greatness or
goodness. God alone is good. We have
no goodness, and to claim it or TO claim
superiority TO any one because of goodness
is to seek to rob God. Poverty of split on
our part is the only ground on which We
can receive the kingdom of heaven.
