4 Farewell Dance Given to Miss Fort.
 Wednesday evening Miss Margot
 Fort, the young Hermosillo lady who has been visiting Nogales for the past three months, took her departure for her Sonora home, accompanied by her uncle Mr. Caledonia Ortiz, who had just returned with Gov. Corral. A large crowd of friends and acquaint- ances gathered at the depot to bid the young lady farewell and wish her a pleasant journey.
 Tuesday evening at the Nogales opera house farewell dance was given to the young lady by her many gentle men friends and admirers in this city. The affair which was quite success ful one lasted until three o'clock in the morning, when the guests with their hearts frightened by the eve ning's enjoyment took their departure for their respective homes, but still with one sad thought, that of soon loosing the bright young lady from our social sphere. Music was discoursed by two orchestras. Following is a list Of those present; Mesdames Luisa de Mascarenas, Sofia de Holler, Josefa de Martinez: Misses Margot Fort, Luisa Mascareias.

Where are my fences? Where is my
dam? Where is my ram? Where is
my flume? Gone, all gone down in the
late flood. Have we had a rain? Well
| think SO. For several days last week
the clouds we're gathering their forces
and a few slight showers visited this
part of Fall River county. Saturday
every thing seemed ready and about
eight o'clock in the morning it COM
menced to rain gently and increased
until it got pretty wet. VIM. Tice had
a large dam across a dry place, that
filled and passed on down stream. In
a deep draw west of him r. Fl. Mosher
had Il large dam and that went. Below
the junction of these two draws, James
Morgaricdge had adam and just below
this was located a ram for the urpo
of driving water up IL steep bank to his
house. and with mud, boards, logs,
posts. %fencesand trees. went down unto
a small dam owned by John Eastman.
We'll. that dam lasted about two sec
onds and moved on down the stream,
now about ome hundred feet wide-on,
madly on towards the Cheyenne river
which is now out OF its banks and look
ing for more room. We learn that Mr..
Eastman had gone across the river on
business and could not get home until
about III O'Clock. He and others are
looking after tiotsam jetsam and try
ing to repair fences. Among other
things James Morgariedge lost part of
his potato patch. And so it goes. The
Lord sends the rain upon the just and
the unjust. $3.50.

General Won verdy du vernois tells a
pleasant story about the war Of 1870.
At Villeneuve-le-Ro he was obliged, for
want Of time, to refuse an invitation to
lunch. A brother officer rushed out of
the house with a ragout. which Verdy
ate with gusto. A few days later the
old Emperor William said to him at
dinner: "That is a pretty affair Of
yours. Ny son has told me all about
it."
"What affair does your majesty refer

1t was this: The crown prince had
received the news that two carrier pi-
geons had been caught, and he had Or
dered them to be sent to Versailles. On
returning home i'll the evening he found
the following telegram:
"Lientenant Colonel Verdy has lust

A w,neea General Of the Sens.

One Of the most extraordinary speci.
mems Of the fish family is the nam hal
gnan" or great general of the south
sea, an animal of the whale species,
which has its home in the Indian ocean.
A full grown nam is upward of S5 feet
in length. pure black in color and has
eyes as large as a saucer Besides the
above characteristic features, which may
be said to be whalelike, with the ex-
ception Of the eyes, the nam has two
immense tusks, which resemble those
of the elephant, both in size and color,
and two queer winglike membranes ex-
tending along its sides from the side fins
almost to the tail. The old mans have
a curious habit of %marshaling their kind
to do battle with the whales and the
sharks, and old mariners say that they
maneuver with SO much intelligence and
sagacity that they are known to all the
islanders by names which signify winged
generals, winged warriors or winged
chiefs Of the seas. The National mu-
scum at Berlin has a fine mounted specl-
men of this queer warlike fish.-St.

Ripans Tabules: pleasant laxative


A rather startling exposure OF the
amount of money lost through dishon-
est bank officials and employees in the
United States is made in The Arena.
The author Of the paper does not sign
his name for manifest reasons, but The
Arena mentions that he is can eN-eXaMi-
ner Of failed United States banks"
The eN-eXaminer tells us that for the
past ten years all average of over $780,
600, 600 a year has been lost to the peo-
pie of this country through bank swim
dies, entertainments and d%efalcatioAs.
Worst of all, the amount seems to ill.,
crease year by year. In 1882 8 1000, OG0
was discovered to have been stolen
through these bank robberies, as the ex-
aminer does not hesitate to call them.
III lS9A the amount was $50, 0O0, 900.
The writer justities his use of the
word %''robbery'' by saying, "Whatever
may be the social position of a man,
when he makes illegal use of the funds
of Il public Office or of a financial insti-
tuition i%ntrusted to his care, or conlives
with others i'll so doing, he becomes il
thief"
Both the bank officer and the bank
employee rob because they want to get
rich quick. The bank officer often wants
to go in for politics, or he has some pri-
vate speculation that he takes funds not
his own to forward. The employee usu-
ally begins to rob because he has got
into bad company and wants money to
indulge more deeply in dissipation.
Both alike, however, invariably intend
to pay back the funds they have stolen.
oh, yes. they always intend to pay it
back. but they never do. The ex-exami-
ner thinks the closest scrutiny ought to
be maintained over the lives of bank ell
ployees and officers. Those who bet On
horse races, drink, indulge in any form
of gambling or dissipation, are not safe
persons to handle other peoples money.

The Twin cities of Minnesota are ar
ranging for an excursion across the
reservation, from Pierre to the Hills,
to be participated in by the business
mems organizations that have taken an
active interest in the building of a
railroad to the Hills direct. The ex-
ecutive committee chosen at the meet
ing held in the Twin cities last winter
has just issued an attractive GO page
pamphlet entitled "The Twin City
Black Hills Railway 1t is a complete
record of the movement for the build
ing of the railroad, and will give all
interested the information they desire.
The book is illustrated with views of
reduction works and smelters in the
Hills, scenes at Pierre, Aberdeen, Dead
wood, Rapid City and Hot Springs.
The time for making the overland en-
cursion has not yet been fully deter.
mined, but will be soon. They will
carefully inspect the route and visit
every important portion of the Hills,
being taken in charge upon their arri-
val in the Hills by citizens of this part
of the state who will certainly show
them every attention possible. The
Twin city people are getting an en-
couraging hustle upon themselves and
the Hills folks feel like doing all that
is in their power to push the boom
along.
