B per cen at least. This will save the
county, if ordered as expected, about
s475. Mr.. Gleason reports everything
quite at the state capital, and harvest
we'll advanced in the Missouri valley.
Henry Barrett, the 1S-year-old son of
Merchant Barrett of Hunter, was acct
dentally shot and killed Saturday. He
was riding a mower, and carried a gun
with him or the machine. In some man
ner it was discharged, the load entering
his stomach. After hours of terrible
suffering, he expired at midnight.
John Anderson of Menoken was the
victim of a recent encounter with a
vicious bull. He attempted to drive
the animal into a corral; and it turned
and knocked him down, trampling him
somewhat, and bruising him up con-
siderably. He escaped finally, without
any broken bones, but pretty we'll bruis-
ed and shaken up.
Warden Boucher has another trace of
the missing convict, Hans johnson.
Ibis time, it is south of the city, and it
has been reported to him that a man,
closely corresponding to the description
of johnson, passed by DR.. Hendricks
place late Sunday evening. Five men
have been sent south to scour the
country, and are expected to be heard
from tonight.
E. f. Higbee's bull terrier "Peg' and
one of Barber McKinney's boys came
together nea the Western Union Office
Sunday afternoon. Whether she was
provoked by the boys or not is not
known, but ct any rate she broke the
chain with which she was fastened, and
the boy has two bad bites, one in each
leg, which were inflicted before she
was driven off.
Warden Boucher: We have heard
nothing yet of Johnson, who escaped
Saturday. He was a country boy, who
drifted west from a Minnesota farm a
couple OF years ago, and got into a burg
larry scrape at Valley city. He was an
easy-going sort of chap, made a good
trusty, and his attempted escape is a
surprise to me. We hope to have him
in tow before long.
The Minot Journal speaks kindly of
~. Q. Hobbs, formerly of this city, who
IS engaged in newspaper business at
Wllliston, and says: "The Williams
County Banner, the newspaper lately
started at Williston, is a very newsy
and enterprising sheet. Our good friend
Hobbs, he of weather bureau fame, is
the moulder of sentiment for the new
thought foundry, and is deserving of the
support of every citizen of Williams
county"
Theatrical managers have for years
offered large premiums for good plays,
and have ransacked foreign markets in
order to secure successes. "The plays
the thing" is their motto, and those
dramatists who can write good plays are
n demand. One of the most famous of
native writer's is b. Grattan Donnelly,
who has just added to his long list of
successes a powerful play entitled Gan
American Girl" It will shortly be seen
i n this city, by a very strong company,
headed by the we'll known actors, Law
renee Hanley and George Osbourne.

A Neat Piece of Work.

p. n
E. G.. Patterson has a new racing
cart, made after the latest improved
fashion, which is altogether the product
OF the mechanical genius Of John D.
Mack. The cart is made of hickory all
through, and the timber has all been
been seasoned under Mack's W super
vision. All of the wooden parts of the
vehicle were steamed and shaped by
Mack, and even the wheels are in the
greater part of Mack's own construction.
The iron work, axle, braces, hub rims,
are all of his work, tempered and turned
into shape on a lathe-out of odds and
ends OF material, and each piece is as
perfect as though turned out of a factory.
Mack's mechanical genius is versatile,
and he has the name of being able to
make anything, from a hair pin to a fully
equipped steam engine, and after this
latest piece of work, his reported ability
is based on a very tangible foundation.
Will Beheaded the Right Direction.

death, with no chance for reprieve or
pardon. The three were in charge of
United States officers.

THK UNITED STATES NAVY.

Our navy, which few years ago, was
formidable only to itself, and consisted
of dozen or 30 of wooden tubs. some
OF which went to the bottom on the
slightest provocation, is now assuming
creditable dimensions, and will soon
constitute an arm of the service OF
which we may feel proud. We still
have 80 wooden ships, some of which
are historical and have seen service
since the war of 1912. The old Consti-
tuition, or ''Ironsides," which was a ter.
ror to British frigates in that war, is
rated as unserviceable, but is kept on
show for the good she has done; and an
appropriation of $600,O0O was made at
the last session of congress to refit
Farragut's celebrated flagship, the
Hartford.
Our fourth-rate vessels, from 500 to
900 tons, include line OF craft that can
do good service in shallow waters; and
our feet of SO thirdrates have mostly
seen their best days. Some of these
are monitors built during the war OF the
rebellion.
The navy register contains only the
names OF two vessels ready for service
in the class OF first-rates-the New
York and Columbia of $3.50 and 1850
tons respectively, one an armored, the
other protected cruiser. The other
irst-rstes are the battleships, most of
which are still on the stocks, the Iowa.

ing in yesterdays HERALD Prof. loves
exceedingly interesting lecture on the
service rendered by the balloon corps in
front OF Richmond during the war of
the rebellion. The professor was the
organizer and chief of that corps, and
through the early information conveyed
to General Mcclellan from the observa-
tions taken in the clouds, the battle Of
Fair Oaks was saved. Had that battle
been lost no force stood between General
Lee and Washington that could have
prevented the capture of that city, and
the march of the victorious Confederate
army to Philadelphia and New York.
We are glad to learn from this. lecture
that it is the intention of Prof. Lowe to
write book in which the experiences
of his active and eventful life will be
set forth. Such book would be a
valuable addition to the literature we
already have of the great rebellion.

A CORRESPONDENT favored the HERALD
yesterday with a communication in
which he presented new proposition
to increase the money power of this
country almost indefinitely. His sug-
gestion is that the national banks be re-
uuired to secure the government and
that the government in turn guarantee
the security OF the deposits in the banks.
Ii the depositors were guaranteed by the
government OF the safety of their de-
posits there would be no runs, and the
certificates of deposit would at once rep
resent as actual cash all the money de-
posted. They would become certain
and universally recognized medium of
circulation, and would at once increase
the amount of money available for the
business affairs OF the country to nearly
double the amount deposited. The weak
point we discern in this proposition ia as
to how the banks could secure the gov.
eminent and at the same time have a
reserved capital sufficient to meet that
security in case of unforeseen disasters.
There is no doubt that the guarantee of
the government to depositors would
render their certificates equal TO coin IN
any event, but if general reverse in
business should take place and the banks
&C under, where would the government

prising citizens OF Orange county to do
their work well.
1t takes not little nerve to provide
the funds for this valuable improve
ment, but Orange county enterprise is
not lacking quantity, and the days OF
the wanderings of the Santa Ana river
seem to be numbered.
As result of this enterprise many
thousands of acres of land will be re-
claimed, and many thousands more will
be prevented from being wiped off the
books as untaxable.
There are some croakers who declare
that the work will amount to nothing,
and that it is folly to continue the effort,
but these people are in the minority and
the great majority OF the people of the
county, according to those who know
them, think that as the reclamation Of
the land goes on the direct money
benefit to the section will be incalcula-
BILE, and that the money it takes to 90
ahead with it is mere drop in the
bucket.

Der. 1t may be said roughly that the
navy of the United States, when the
vessels now on the stocks are completed,
will comprise thirty formidable ships of
war, besides as many third rates and an
indefinite number Of torpedo craft and
small gunboats.
OF course the list of serviceable yes
sells in the United States navy does not
come anywhere near the number carried
by the frst-class powers OF Europe. Nor
shall we ever need as great a navy as
any OF them. Our navy will be large
enough when we have all the vessels
that are needed to protect our commerce
at points of. danger and be fairly repre-
sented in the principal ports of the
world. We do not. like Great Britain or
France, require enormous fleets to in
sure as against hostile invasion, or to
maintain our supremacy in foreign
waters. A long series OF notable events
would transpire before we could be
forced into a war with q frst-class naval
power, and the wide space of ocean
which separates US from Europe would
render us safe from sudden naval at

point and feet of swift cruisers we
could make an invading enemy pay
dearly for his temerity.
We shall probably 60 along at our
leisure building the most approved war
vessels for our service, and reap what
ever advantages may be demonstrated
in the meantime in naval warfare, and
apply them to our new ships.

Ingenuity.

During the past few days the sidewalk in
front of a store on Spring street has been
SO badly crowded as to make it impossible.
Each succeeding passer-by would join the
crowd, expecting to see something in the
nature of an accident or the like But the
smiles and the broad grins which stole over
every succeeding countenance testified that
the cause OF the commotion, what ever it was,
wa, at least not tragic. Nor was it. 1t was
simply phi of the window dressing art
The window was that of M. German, the we'll
known jeweler. 1t represented a scene in the
tropics, W 18th an incidental encounter between
an alligator and a monkey. The antics of the
latter we're SO amusing that those who saw
them went away and sent their friends to en-
joy the feast also The window was the result
of the ingenuity of W. W. Burson. 1t Will be
on exhibition the remainder of this week
On the inside of Germans store are things to
be seen that, while not so amusing as the win
dows, are far more interesting to the cultured
and artistic eye. He has received an other con-
signm MT of art novelties, com prising sam pies
from all over the world. One beautiful thing
succeeds another until the eye is bewildered.
All these works of art are on sale, and the store
at 5. Spring street, should be the Mecca of
artistic devotees during the coming week.

The financial condition of the widow
of the late Senator William M. Gwin.
who is reported to be living in Alameda
in very straitened circumstances, is
something for people to ponder over.
Her husband. never a rich man himself,
married her when a widow in Texas,
owning large blocks of grazing lands
which she sold to advantage just after
the close of the Mexican war, and re-
moved to California in 1850, when Mr..
Gwin was elected United States senator
along with General John 9. Fremont
the first senators from this state. He
retained that position till 1862, when he
was succeeded by James A. Macdougall,
now % years dead. Senator Gwin died
in 1887. and his family mansion on
Jackson street has been a Chinese hos
pital for sixteen years. Now the papers
state that his family are in need of money
for the ordinary wants of life, although
owning good deal of unincumbered
property. Mrs. Gwin was a chosen leader
of society in San Francisco for thirty
years, and equally influential at Wash
ington from 1851 to the outbreak of the
civil war. OF all the upper ten of San
Francisco who partook of her hospitality
in those days; and of all the insignifi-
cant southern politicians whom her
husband lifted above the pangs of pow
ity in the period above detailed, not
one comes forward to help the widow of
his departed benefactor. 1t is curious
text for a sermon upon human graft
tude, which Horace Walpole defined as
"lively sense of favors to come"

THE Wilson tariff bill has now gone
through the committee OF the whole and
will doubtless be reported back to the
house today. We can hardly look for
any successful efforts to amend it in the
house. Whatever can be done in this
respect will have to be done in the SEN
ate. 1t will doubtless go to that body
with the internal revenue bill tackled to
it, including the income tax. The man
ayers of the bill believe that they have
enough strength in the house to pass
the measure, even with the income tax
tackled to il.
