Irwin drew a revolver and return

the body and right eye.
French managed to reach his
horse and mounting rode to "A

ordered the occupant to put up his

HELP FOR the NEEDY.

The past week has been one of ex-

persons have done all in their power
to alleviate the wants of the suffer

the generous people of this CON-
munity for donations. The place
selected for receiving all gifts is in
Murray Perkins building where
Col. MARGINS office was. Whatever
you have to offer, such as flour, po-

be gladly received by the committee

NO BOTTOn.

From the Joplin News
p. l.. Crossman returned home
last night from Ossawatomie, Mi
ami county, Kansas, where he has
contract for drilling a well for
gas. He has already put down one
drill hole which a-tonished the
natives of that section, but the
establishment is not from the
amount of gas produced.
Mr.. Crossman drilled hole 400
feet through all kinds of earth and
Tuesday the drill struck an open
ing and went the full length of the
rope and then hung apparently sus-
pended in vacancy. Mr.. Crossman,
finding his drill rope too short, put
on his measuring line and dropped
the weight 900 feet further than he
had drilled, making total depth
of 1000 feet below the surface, 700
feet drilled through and 800 feet OF
vacancy.
The greatest curiosity of the mat
ter is that after drilling 800 feet
there was extremely salty water
within twenty feet of the sur
face up to the time the drill struck
the opening, when the water imme-
diately fell 200 feet. leaving 1t 200
feet below the top of the opening.
The company has determined to
proceed with the drilling and MIR.
Crossman, always ready for any
emergency that Mother Earth may
throw in his way, will put in casing
and proceed to drill at least 500 or
1000 feet deeper.
This is one of the greatest curios-
tiles ever heard of in Kansas, and
has created more excitement than
any election held in that state for
some time. Many of the residents
of Ossawatomie even threaten to
move to other quarters for fear
the bottom will drop out of the
town. Mr.. Crossman will return in
a few days and resume his work,
for. as some gas has already been
found, he feels sure of making dis
coveries that will benefit the COM
pany.

Huchred the Green Goods nan.

The following New York dispatch
to the ST. Louis Globe Democrat un:
der date of January % tells how a
green goods man was "frisked" for
81, 900 by a man whom he attempted
to victimize:
John Sheffield, a well-dressed
and intelligent-looking young man
who lives at Manchester, N. Y, got
the best of a green goods operator
at Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City, and
captured $l,8O0 worth of crisp new
preenbacks. Neither the hotel peo-
pie nor the police knew anything
about the case until this morning
when Sheffield called at police
headquarters and exhibited the
Sl.6OO and a black sack. Sheffield
said he had often read the accounts
of how the green goods operators
transact their business and he de-
cided that he could beat the game.
When he received one of the tempt
ing circulars several days ago he
responded without loss of time. He
wrote that he had splendid field
for such goods, and was teiegraphed
to come on to 81 West street. this
city. He arrived in town yesterday
morning a few hours before the
time set by the swindlers- Sheffield
crossed to Jersey City and hired &
room. About O'Clock he came to
this city and met two of the green
goods men. They crossed the river
and were passing up Exchange
Place when Sheffield suggested
that they do their business in there,
saying he was stopping there. Only

lsos GREETING.

The year 1894 with it's history,
successes and failures. it's joys and
its sorrows, it's births and its
deaths, have all been recorded.
Now in the beginning of 1898 COM
menting on the Presidents Message
and the effect il will have on bust
ness there is n class of persons who
need watching, d that is the
would-be prophets. prognosticators
and gucssers. We know of no
power, force or intelligence that
can see or foretell what is to be, en-
cept through science, mathematics
or natural law, therefore the COM
ing year is like n blank sheet of
paper. 1t is highly probable that
the earth will continue in it's orbit
around the sun, hence the seasons.
the change in temperature, births,
marriages and deaths will continue
under the direction of the Supreme
Master of the Universe, therefore
the thing to do this year and every
year mo matter what occurs or does
not occur is to take everything
philosophically, and under all
circumstances and conditions pre-
serve "a serenity of mind and de-
pertinent. Don't worry over mis-
fortune or become too much
elated over good fortune, but hon
orably "do your level best" and let
fate, chance, accident, natural law,
or whatever else may be, take care
of the consequences.
We know that for more than n
hundred years the United States
has steadily progressed in health.
wealth and happiness. and we see
no reason why 1895 should be an
exception to the uniform rule for
the century of years that has just
passed.
In thanking our friends and pa
irons for their support in the past
we desire to extend to them our
sincere wishes for their unlimited
success during the coming year
and every succeeding year.
With efficient and valuable addi-
tons to staff and working force We
hope to merit the good wishes and
patronage of all who wish to erect
monuments, headstones or memoir
ial tablets, for which call on or
address, ID. NJ. JONES,

What the Indians Have Cost.

in the complete Indian census re-
ToSt just published an interesting at
tempt is made for the first time to cast
up in figures an aggregate OF the gov.
eminent expenditures on account OF
the red men residing within the United
States since the Union was established
il 1889. The result of this attempt
indicates in the statistics presented
that The gigantic sum of 81, l05, ,219,-
372 was spent by the government up
to the year 1890, either upon the In
dians directly or indirectly because of
Indians. Counting in, however, the
civil and military expenses for Indians
since then, together with incidental
expenses not recognized in the official
figures given, it is safe to say that up
to June 80, 1895, further sum OF
$l44, TS0, 62S may be added to the ag-
gregate figures, making a grand ag-
gregate of 81, $50, 900, 900 chargable to
Indians to date.
The Indian wars under the govern
ment of the'United States are stated
to have numbered more than forty,
and to have cost the lives of about
SO, 900 white men, women and children,
including about five thousand killed,
in individual encounters, of which his
tory takes no note, and of thirty thou
saul Indians, including $500 killed in
personal encounters Globe Demo.
