Laid to Rest.

The funeral of Judge W. B. Sloan yes
terday afternoon was attended by large
number of the friends of the deceased.
The music rendered by the Methodist
choir, the sermon preached by Pastor
Madden and finally the services by the
Dad Fellows, of which order Judge Sloan
was a member for forty years, combined
to make the occasion both solemn and
impressive. This last was conducted by
Past Grands J. L. Zimmerman, of Las
Vegas, and W. L. Perching, of this city,
and the solemn words that have been
used as the burial ritual of thousands of
Odd Fellows in the past derived special
beauty as rendered by these gentlemen.
1t was esteemed great privilege by the
local lodges of the order to show by their
presence and cooperation in the funeral
arrangements their appreciation of the
indefatigable efforts of the deceased
brother toward "the good of the order"

Vvashington's Birthday.

Having been bestede in its contention
respecting the proper day for observing
Washington's annlversary-a subject that

on the subject. Well, 1T did dig into his

A Military Suggestion,

New Mexico, Arizona and southern
California could be made into depart
ment for military purposes, and be easily
controlled from Santa Fe by reason of
direct east an6 west railroad connections,
while northern California, Utah, Colorado
and other adjacent states are best
reached from Denver. The present rail-
road facilities of the west make divisions
for military departments east and west,
as the railroads traverse the country that
way. Santa Fe should move in the mat
ter of department. reconstruction for the
west, and a careful study of railroad maps
would do the rest, as the present depart
ments are too large and unwieldy for a
quick mobilization Of forces.-Socorro

A Valentine.

Dainty little maiden
With the winsome face:
Wealth of golden ringlets
Blown in careless grace!
Here's q true-love missive
From thy loyal knight;
Earnest little lover,
Merry face and bright:
Darling little sweetheart,
Dearly l love you;
Won't you please to tell me,
If you love me too?
You're sweet as candy kisses,
Sweet as sugar too;
You're checks are red as roses,
And dearly love you"
Dainty little maiden,
Loyal little knight;
Dreaming not of future,
Care or woe to blight.
Older we and wiser;
Would our valentines
Breathed such loyal message
In each word and line!
Happy little sweetheart;
Happy knight so true:
Sweet as your own kisses,
Dearly we love you.

Northern Colony In Georgia

Emigrants from the northwest con- tinue to arrive in Americus in small parties, bound for Wilcox county, where 60, 900 people from that region will set tie this winter on land purchased for the Fitzgerald colony. Ex-Governor Northen is now in Wilcox, where he has options on 50, 900 acres of land in addi- tion to that already purchased through him for the colony.
 Many of the colonists are Union sol diers. As soon as the charter is granted the land will be surveyed into lots to suit purchasers, and 2,000 acres will be laid off into town lots. The streets will te wide, and doubtless 1t will be one of the best laid off towns in the south. The site for the township has not been selected, nor has the name been suggested, but it is thought that one of the most appropriate names that could be given is Northen City. The colonists will begin to arrive in full force about Oct. l. It is claimed that many of the colonists are worth from $5,000 to s50,0o0. The company has capital of $500, 900. They will expend $350, 900 in buying the lands, and $l50, 900 in improvements. Sawmills and other in- dustries will be established; schools and churches will be established also. Those who have come have met with ~a warm reception from the good people of that section, and genuine old Georgia vel. come awaits those yet to come Amer icus Ga. Times, Recorder.

Indian Territory Town Sites.

Ex-Senator Henry L. Dawes, the chairman of the Indian commission, says that the town site question in the Indian Territory has become one of great im portance. There are now about 300, 900 white people in the Indian Territory. They have built up towns, but are mere tenants at sufferance, without a particle of title to the lands on which they built The Indian courts are closed against them, as are the Indian schools to their children, 30, 900 of whom have no other opportunity for schooling, excepting those whose parents are able to hire pri- vate teachers. They have no voice in the governments of these five nations, nor a police officer to protect them or their property against violence.
 It will be the object of the commits sion, first, to obtain such solution of the town site question that those who have built up these towns and invested large sums in costly buildings and ex- pensive stores and trading places may have some title to the ground upon which the structures stand and some voice in their government, and, secondly, to see that the vast and valuable terri tory shall be held either according to the original title, for all Indians equal ly, or shall be allotted in severalty to them, so that each may hold his own share in f,Ae

BY BALLOON 10 HE POLE.
The Contemplated Trip of Fl. Andres-Ar
 wuments Tn Its Favor.


 guments In Its Fnvor.
 M. Andree informs me, says a writer in the Boston Herald, that. starting from Norsk islands of Spitzbergen, tray cling at the same rate as on some of his previous balloon expeditions, and given favorable wind, he ought to reach the north pole in ten hours. But even if he does not trsxel s9re than 27 klometers per hour-whfch Is the mean speed of the wind at that particular elevation he proposes to adopt-4S hours should suffice to carry him to the coveted goal So far as the polar regions are con- cerned, the natural characteristics which are detrimental to exploring the earth's surface serve to facilitate balloon ex- ploration. The total absence of vegeta- tion enables the balloon to travel stead fly, there being no danger of it's tow lines becoming entangled in trees. This consideration is of great impor- tance, seeing that photographs are to be taken during the whole of the voyage, and constant jerks would be disastrous to the work on board The continual sunshine serves to maintain an evenness of temperature, and consequently the variations in the carrying power of the balloon will be very slight. The snow fall in the summer is not heavy, and there is no likelihood of the ba lloon en- countering thunderstorms, as in warmer regions
 All these points unmistakably indi. rate the superiority of balloon over a boat or -sledge for exploring such a coun- try" said M. Andree,- "and they are not merely scientific deductions, but the result of personal experiments; therefore l feel am justified in putting them forward. l"
 M. Andree proposes to start, with two others, in the early summer of 1896. He will take the balloon as far as the Norsk islands, where large shed will be erected in which the balloon will be filled with gas. Here he will await a favorable wind to start into the un- known. The car will contain 0 dark room for photography and well pro- tected sleeping accommodation for the three travellers. The roof of the rooms will be boarded to form the floors of the upper story, which will have bal  ustrade and serve as a promenade. Photography being an important fea- ture, 5000 plates will be taken, though these will not be developed until they arrive home again.
 The balloon will be provisioned for four months, and it will also carry can vas boats, sledge, tent, life saving ap- paratus in case of any mishap, scientific instruments, an electric battery; also an electric cooking stove.
 The explorers hope that favorable wind will carry them right across the pole. M. Andree has already expert mented i'll the matter of steering bal loon and has so far succeeded that he can divert it's course to the extent of 27 degrees from the direction the wind is taking. This may be an immense ad- vantage to him.

These Were Made Out of Safes That Had
 Been Robbed.
 Not long ago Star writer had occa- sion to be in western Missouri. Just north of Kansas City about. 12 miles is the lttle town of Parkville It is built up on the two sides of valley which opens against the broad Missouri, and the hamlet might contain perhaps 50 houses. Among other matters, however, it shelters seminary of considerable local fame which teaches both boys and girls the higher branches of an educa- tion, but with which just now we have nothing to do The main street of the village runs along the bottom of the valley at right angles with the Missouri river.
 The Star writer was sitting in front of one of the stores smoking a very bad cigar of local origin and conversing with the merchant who had sold it. It was about 8 o'clock in the afternoon, and many of the country people were con- ing into town. A country girl of the re- zion came cantering up on a bareback horse and slid off on what, now that The Star mans attention was called to it, he noticed was queer sort of horse block.
 1t was nothing more or less than an old rusty safe of considerable size. It had apparently lain there for years and when examined disclosed Q suspicious looking hole in one side, clearly the work of explosives. At this point the attention of the investigator from the east was called to two other safes, sim ilarly exploded and also lying on their sides in the street and doing duty as horse blocks.
 "How about these safes?" asked The Star man of the Parkville merchant. "What story goes with them?''
 "Nuthin much of story" remarked the Parkville merchant, helping him. self to thoughtful chew of tobacco. "Them safes have laid right thar where you all see lem since '73. They wuz dragged out there and busted by Quan- trell and Jess and Frank James aud the Younger brothers, along with the rest of QuantrelPs gang. They come chargin down the street one day in June and tux the town in about a minute and a half and then went fur them safes Money wuz mighty popular with Quan- trell and the James boys, and they usu- ally went arter all they heard of ''
 "How much did they get from the safesf''
 TT dunno how much they got from them on t'other side of the street." said the Parkville man. "They hunted $3,- 800 out'n mine," and here he pointed sadly at the safe nearest to him, the one . on which the young rustic had just aliRhted.

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 7, 1ss5.s

The winter season in Canaan promises to be the dnllest known in years in the way os entertainment and amusement and the business outlook isn't over brilliant. Business men throughout the town are reporting collections as poor. The why of this is not apparent as no amount of people are idle. There has been somewhat of decrease of our younger population which undou btedly effects the entertainment spirit, and the prospect of many social events are very dubious. Amid this dark forecast the Whist Club shows out as bright spot and possibly more things will show up later. We hope so.

The Spot Where Tom Moore's First Sweet
 heart Lies Buried.
 Only those who are thoroughly conver- sant with the innumerable highways and byways of Greenwood cemetery, in Brook lyp, know of a section called "The Hill of Graves" The section derives its name from the fact that nearly 10000 unfortu- mates are buried there In rows of 50. One would never think of looking for spot of interest in that locality. To find any par tioular grave in this public burying ground one needs the aid of cemetery guide. And even such guide has difficulty, since the graves are known only by numbers. Upon looking at the records of the ceme- tery it was found that the special grave de- sired in this instance was in public dot No. 8999, and that the number of the mound was e05. When the grave was found, it was not unlike the thousands around 1t, The mound wns sunken and neglected. The grass, once green upon 1t, is long since dead. A small white marble stone stands at the head, on which Is inscribed, Moth CT and grandmother. Nothing is there to indicate the fact that underneath that sunken mound lies all that Is mortal of beautiful Mary Duff, to whom the poet Thomas Moore offered his hand and heart, whose beauty he immortalized in his verse and who in the maturity of her career won the applause of thousands and thou sands of people whom her name attracted to all the great theaters of America and England as enc of the most gifted of ao tresses.-Edward Box in Ladies' Home Journal.

It will be perceived at a glance that, since Van Buren, Tyler and Fillmore are the only two presidents who have outlived their expectation of life, and that out of the line of 21 only 8 had thus happily disap- pointed the expectancy of statistics,
 But closer scrutiny of the table need not deter any ambitious native American from making the race for president. By eliminating Harrison, Taylor, Lincoln and Garfield from the list the average of years lived will be evened up close to that of ex- pectation. The two former presidents were scarcely in office long enough to be included in the category, while we can scarcely reconcile the fate of Lincoln and Garfield as @ Legitimate factor in such a discussion.
