appeared at the county jail in Chicago

M. G.. Sharpe, a member of the Saliva
tion Army, with headquarters at Tulare,
was shot in the leg in a saloon at Por-
terville, Cal. He will probably lose his

sell The War Cry. There were five or
six men there. Parsons, whom 1 have

The existence of new secret national
labor organization was discovered at
Lansing, Mich, through secret meet
ing of the national committee. The Or
der was secretly founded in Chicago on
Dec. 81 by representatives from 81
states, and it is called the Ancient Order
of Loyal Americans. The promoters of
the organization are confident that it
will become of great national impor-
tance. Partridge of Michigan, mem
ber, says that the Order of Loyal Amer
leans is designed to include men of every
calling. The order will be conducted by
military orders from headquarters. It
is to be non-partisan and non-sectarian.

and pursue an aggressive policy. 1t was
intended to issue the first general orders
ON Jan. 10, but the time will not permit.
The names of the officers were not di-
vulged.

lating to Colorado, the business men of
the state, recently assembled in conven-
ton, appointed committee to prepare
a statement of the condition, resources
and future prospects. The committees
report shows an increase of the gold pro-
duction from So, 1886, ,a17 in 1889 to &c.
539, ,021 for 1892. It's calls attention to
the great gold developments at the Grip
pie Creek region, where experts claim
the low-grade ore now in sight will yield
800, 100000 Leadvlle promises rival
to Cripple Creek as goldproducing
camp, one mine yielding $5, 600 per day.

estimated at $s3, ,OOO, 200, and in 1894 it
will probably exceed this by $20, 900, 600.
Statistics are also given of the produc-
ton of coal, coke, granite, petroleum
and agricultural products, showing the
great prosperity and resources of the
state.
