1t Tells How the Warrler Kicked CONC
row Downstairs.
Edward, one Of 'the fighting Nc
Cooks" while governor of Colorado ter
ritory, had a good deal of trouble with
the Indians, and especially with their
chief, Colorow. With party Of his
braves Coorow came to Denver one
night, and after drinking heavily told
his followers that he was going up to
kill McCook. The governor had his Of
fee in a two-story building, and sat
with his back to- the door, with a
looking glass on the desk in front Of
him so that he could see any one COM
ing in without Turning. McCook was
expecting some trDubIe with Colorow,
and was seated at his desk when the In
dian came in. ColoTow had pistol In
his hand, and, approaching McCook, he
stood by his side and grunted: "Mc-
Cook, HARP The gnveTnOc' never look
ed up, but kept on writing. "McCooB
heap liar" repeated CoIorow, but the
governor never noticed it. "McCooB
heap big liar" continued Colorow, and
still the pen scratched away. COlorow
mistook McCook's silence for fear and
let his pistol hand drop until his arm
hung straight down, In an instant
McCook grasped the Indians wrist, and
in another the pistol fell to the floor,
Turning Colorow around, the governor
deliberately thrust him downstairs and
out Of the door into the circle Of In
dams who were waiting for the expect
ed trouble. "Colorow's squaw," said
McCook to the assembled Indians, and,
giving tine chief parting kick, he re-
turned to his office.-San Francisco

NEW" PREACHER NOW.
Ministers of the Gospel Talk on Differ

Ministers of the Gospel Talk on Differ
cnt Lines Nowadays
Now we have the new preacher" for
as the old-fashloned women have
passed away, so also have the antique
clergymen, who formerly talked about
the golden seats In heaven and the
roaring fires Of an eternal hell. One Of
the new preachers in this end of the
universe Is the Rev. Frank Il. Mason,
Of Brooklyn. At the First Church OF
Christ the other night, DR.. Mason spoke
in answer to the question, rs there a
help" and this is what he said; Eyes,
II you make one. There Is no local hell,
He'll and heaven are conditions Of
mind, not locations. He'll is the
abridgement Of power. 1t is the shrlv-
cling Of the mind. Man carries his own
birthstone in the pocket Of his thought.
1t Is set on fire by the friction Of mega
tive Ideas. The pessimist relegates his
heaven to futurity, The optlmist en-
joys 1t on earth. The one who is con-
tinually singing Earth Is a desert
drear, heaven Is my home, lives in per-
petual hell. He is suffering from &C..
clesiastical dyspepsia. He has eaten
the forbidden apple and can not digest
It,"
The new preacher also has a club Of
his own. Since the New York Clergy
club was established some time ago 1t
has had its headquarters in the do
cesar house, 20 Lafayette place. This
institution is composed wholly Of cler-
gymen of the Episcopal church, and
was established for literary and social
purposes. On account Of the necessity
for using the room devoted to the use
of the members Of the club on the first
floor for diocesan purposes, Bishop Pot
ter sent out a notice last week an
nouncing that the reading room would
be abandoned, the papers, books, ETC.,
being removed to another and smaller
apartment, to be used only by those
members Of the club who occupy rooms
In the house. What was formerly the
reading room will now be the reception
room for visitors to the bishop.-NeW

Wealth OF England.

Highly important and significant are
the figures just issued, with COMPARE
sons, showing the wealth Of England
in spite Of twenty leon years of de-
preston. The taxable property OF Eng
land and Wales in 1894 was G161 ,000,
900, compared to f1O4,OO0,OOO in 1870
This increase of more than so per cen
has taken place when, the taxable value
Of land has decreased within fifteer
years from about f40,0OO,O0O to f33,
100000. The land formed in 1870 abou
one-half the taxable property Of thu
country. 1t is now little more thar
One-fifth.

One cannot too soon forget his erroi\

NeceasitY of Comnosure.

One thing that, If not u necessity, Is
at least conducive to comfortable liv-
ing, is hardly appreciated even by those
who most need 1t. This Is the need Of
having some time each day entirely
alone. 1t Is impossible to- Live comfort
ably without composure Of mind, and
there is no way of securing it so surely
as to spend short time each day (and
a long time is even better) In silence,
and free from Interruptions. 1t is sooth-
ing to tired nerves, and strengthening
to tired mind. The person who does
not like to be alone, who does not even
strongly desire to be alone once in .
while, is already ON the high road to-
ward ill-health. 1t is the only way 60
have relief from the confusion of al
ways being in some ones presence,
which will, sooner or later, either af-
feet the nerves or weaken the mind.
Wherever, or however, you live, then,
see to it that you have at least one hour
out of every twenty-four that you can
call your own. Some busy people may
at first think this is impossible; but we
rarely find anyone who does not waste
more than this every day, and who is
not the worse off for the waste. The
very act of taking this hour strengthens
the will and adds that much to the COM
fort of living, since weak-willed per-
son is at the mercy of everything and
every person that encroaches upon his
rights; and not the least of these is the
right to live healthy, comfortable life,

He recommends that in case of an at

notify the township Poa of Health.
Bodies of dead animals should be deeply
buried, or in case of ANTHRAX, burned.
Tf buried on pasture lands the lots should
be fenced to prevent other cattle from

of the disease may be brought to the
surface by worms and thus render the

DIsPUTING WITH THE MAYOR.
Property Owners on Pine Street
Raise a E8rseZr.

Mayor Wanser will be kept busy for a
few days after his return from the water
trip in adjusting a little difficulty with
an owner of property along the line of
the proposed main sewer In Pine street,
Lafayette.
When it was finally decided to build
this much needed sewer the preliminary
work was pushed along with all speed.
Damages were fixed by the Assessment
Commissioners and the awards as a
whole were satisfactory. One of the
property owners, to whom an award
was made, received his money, and now
it has been discovered that there are
X in arrears on the property.
Yesterday the owner in question waited
on Mayor Wanser The Mayor became
excited and made such a noise that he
was heard in the City Clerks office.
Secretary Nevin was called, and he, too,
shouted. While His Honor and the Sec
rotary were shouting the property owner
was also using his lungs. The result was
that the people in the Mayors office
thought a fight was in progress. The
difieulty was partially adjusted by the
property owner agreeing to pay the
pack taxes without any further delay.
