The killing, according to a story of the

done by the Dunns, who had been
promised large rewards by deputies
who later claimed to have made the
capture. The killing is on a par with
the cowardly assassination by the

Blood Purifiers.

When spring breezes began to blow

prepare for us doses of sulphur an6

that the heavy winter diet of pork an6
potatoes and cabbage and corned bee
had somehow filled our veins with i'm
purities which needed to be driven out
Our grandfathers, having considerable

whiskey and tansy to the remedies
used by their wives, and that survive:
even to this day. At a later day came
the army of patent medicine purifiers
which were almost warranted to give
one supply of blood superior in every
respect to that furnished by nature
Now, personal cleanliness and a care
full selection of food are taking the
place OF medication, as they ought tt
do, and we are being freed from the

The Vanishing Woodlands.

For 30 wise men have been detail
ing the dire evils that will result
from the decreasing Of our American
lands. The barren southern shores Of
the Mediterranean, which used to sup
port great and wealthy population, are
pointed out as the result Of allowing q
country to be stripped Of its forests. Ex-
perts hold conventions once year, at
which forest destruction is denounced
and forest preservation advocated with
nm eloquence that oaptivates all who
hear and read. The Century magazine
lately contained suggestions from doz-
en- learned men on how TO prevent
America from becoming desert waste
devastated alternately by floods and
droughts.
Meantime forest destruction among as
goes on if possible faster than ever.
With all the talk, the commissions and
the conventions, forest fires are worse
than they ever we're before, forest thieves
and forest grazers are more abundant
and impudent. Several gentlemen want
government commission appointed to
take testimony and consider the matter
carefully. Heaven save the country from
any more commissions. We have too
many now, such as they are, and the
money they cost is something fearful.
What we want more than anything
else is for each particular state to take
the matter Of: forest preservation in it's
own borders seriously and with determi-
nation in hand. We have agricultural
colleges and stations. In each Of these
there should be thorough course in
forestry. There is already in some Of
them. A school sending out year after
year classes Of enthusiastic young forest
preserving graduates would soon create
public sentiment on the right side.
The creation of such public sentiment is
the great need today in the whole coun-
try.
We do not need a school of govern
ment forestry at West Point, at least
not yet. We want: every Individual
farmer and schoolboy and schoolgirl
taught that instead Of the cutting down
Of trees in the older parts of the ooun-
try trees must be planted. We want
the pioneer settlers to learn that forest
fires are their worst enemies and that
every precaution must be taken to pre-
vent them. The science Of forest preser-
walton should be taught to school chill
dren.
AS to the general government, let it
protect it's own public forest lands and
keep marauders off them by means of
the United States army, and let there
be no humbug about it.

Great is the American Institute of
Civics. It purports to teach Americans
the science Of government and the du-
ties Of a citizen. But one of it's learned
professors lately declared that he did
not believe in reading newspapers and
that he would prefer to educate young
people not to read newspapers rather
than educate them to do so. Pretty kind
of professor that! The peoples history
is the newspaper: A good journal con-
tains more Of the true science of govern
ment in it's pages in a year than such a
professor as that can teach young people
in five years or ten years. The best lit
erature, the best sermons, the best oriti-
cism, the records of all the great eco
nomic movements, scientific discoveries
and everything else come to the peoples
knowledge through their newspaper.
Furthermore, paper is not newspa-
per unless it gives the news, whatever
that may be.

Increased Gold OUTPUT.

The year 1894 witnessed in the Unit
ed States considerable increased gold
production. This is owing partly to the
more exact and careful system of min
ing, partly. also, to the fact that vari-
GUS mines nave yielded more ABUNDANT
~ than they did last year. At the same
time the production Of silver ore has
fallen off. If the pr snt conditions con-
tinue, it is likely that the increase of
gold and the decrease of silver at the
mines will last till the two metals be-
come more nearly equalized in amount.
The amount Of gold mined in the coun-
try during 1894 was $4s, 900, 900, an in
crease Of 100000 over 1898. The
chief increase was in Colorado, which
gained So, 900, 900. Colorado's total gold
product for 1894 was $500, 900, al
most one-quarter Of the whole quantity
produced in the country. California
gained 100000 in gold during the
year, and her total output of. the yellow
metal amounted to $4,000, 900. Cali
fornia is still therefore the leading gold
state Of the Union, and Colorado comes
next. These two states produced nearly
three-fifths Of the total amount. Next in
production ranks Montana, with 4,OOO,-
900. Montana has also increased her
output about three-quarters Of a mil
lion. These are the principal gold yield
ing states. Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington also report an increased gold
product.

The Doctors Son.

A few days ago the little son Of a
well-known physician was entertain
ing a playmate at his fathers house.
As children will, they ransacked every
nook and corner Of the building.
Their curiosity led them to explore
the recesses Of closet in which the
doctor keeps his instruments and 9th
er personal effects, among which was
a complete skeleton. The strange boy
was frightened when he first beheld
the grinning remnant Of what once
had been human being, and started
to run away. The Doctors son, how
ever, had seen the skeleton so often
that he entertained for it only that
feeling of contempt begotten Of fa-
miliarity, and in a little while sue
ceeded in so allaying the fears Of his
companion that the youngsters began
to handle the thing and rattle its dry
bones.
"Where did your father get it 2" he
finally asked.
"I don't know" was the reply ;
"but I guess it was his first patient,
for he has had it for an awful long
time"
