SWEPT THROUGH A GORGE.

Terrible Experience of Two Army Ex-
plOrers in the Black Canyon.
Lieutenants Davis and Potter of the
United States army, with their guides,
Barney Weaver and John Colby, ar
rived at Yuma recently by boat from
Needles. The army officers had been
assigned the duty of inspecting the riV-
er from Black canyon to Yuma, with
view to improving the navigation. They
met with nothing of any interest from
needles northward, but on the first part
OF their trip they had excitement and
Danger enough to last them the rest OF
thelr lives says the San Francisco Call.
Their boat, which weighed $50 pounds,
was sent by rail to Peach Springs ana
from there by wagon twenty-five miles
10 diamond Creek. This is 200 miles
further up the river than required for
shelr purpose, but they wanted to see
some OF the scenery of Grand canyon
Inc BOAT, supplies and men haG to pc
lowered with ropes down the sides OF
the canyon The discovery was at once
maze that the boat was not adap*ed LOT
the voyage, being a keel boat, narrow
ana heavy. In a short time the craIt
became utterly unmanageable aHd eV-
cry moment threatened them Win
death. They were bumbed on IOcks,
thrown against the sides of the canyon,
drenched with spray and shot through
gorges with the rapidity of an express
train. With salvation out of their sight
there was apparently nothing but GER
tain death ahead of them. Above rose
the perpendicular walls of the canyon
thousands of feet. Still the boat kept
in the water for seventeen terrible
miles, when rocky rapid was reached.
Quick as lightning the boat was tossed
bottom upward, rolled over and finally
crushed to pieces. The four men strug-
gled to save their lives. 1t was useless
to try to save anything else. But,
strangely. none of them was hurt and
they reached place of safety. At once
their dangerous situation forced Itself
on their minds. There they were with
out provisions and shut in to meet GER
tain death by starvation. They started
down the canyon, hoping to find a trail
by which they could get out. After
many weary mile the men decided to
follow some of the sheep trails, which
were only few inches wide in places.
Success attended their efforts, although
at times they hung between water and
sky on the edges of the bluff. Occasion
ally their strength seemed to fail, but
a sight of that awful chasm below was
sufficient. At last the top was reached,
but they were delivered from the ter
rors of the canyon only to find them
selves in a desert. They struck out
bravely, knowing that they had only
to keep going to reach the railroad
again. At blackberry station four bag
gard, ragged, dirty and almost shoeless
men dropped down to await for the next
train. They reached Needles again to
rest and refit for the. voyage to Yuma.

we get comparatively nothing in return
for giving the telegraph company a

LAWRENCE. Jan. 22.-There was dis
graceful fight here yesterday in which
Ed Martindale. editor of the Jeffersonian.
a Populist weekly newspaper, and ex-
Sheriff Bud Hindman wiped each other
over the floor. And it all arose over a
scurrilous article which appeared in
Martindale's paper.
Martindale went to the county clerk )
Office in the court house. The ex-sheriff
was there. 1t is said that Hindman
called Martindale vile names, which re-

Martindale is a young man of vigorous
build, while Hindman is a man OF 50
years.
AIartindale resented the remarks and
jumped on to his Republican antagonist.
The two men were parted and when the
mists rolled away Hindman nursed few
bruises, while Martindale had badly
scratched face. There has been an en-
nifty between both men for some time.
Sheriff Hindman has just retired from
the office of sheriff of Douglas county.
As yet there have been no arrests, but
it is rumored that this brawl will not end
the trouble.

A Great Whistle.

Warden Sage of Sing Sing prison is
having constructed an immense and
powerful steam whistle to be used to
alarm officers and citizens in case. of
an escape, an uprising in the prison or
fire. 1t will also signal the beginning of
work in the shops in the morning and
the shutting down at night. The whis-
tie is known as a Fits patent twelve
inch three barrel steam gong, and is
the largest in use. It is composed of
three cylindrical bells or barrels, placed
one above the other. These barrels are
fastened to the steam conductor, which
passes through them. The entire
whistle is eight feet in height, and,
contrary to ordinary whistles, the
barrels or resonators are inverted.
Each barrel has different tone, thus
producing a splendid sound, without
ear-splitting effects. 1t is asserted that
under favorable atmospheric condi-
tions the whistle can be heard at
distance of thirty miles. Even under
unfavorable circumstances the alarm
should be heard seven to ten miles
away.

Giving Credit.

The customs surrounding the giving
of credit differ widely in different coun-
tries. In Italy credit is given only on
undoubted security, in Cuba five months
after delivery. In the Bermudas settle
ments are annual. In Austria it is inn
possible to do business without giving a
years credit; in England settlement is
counted upon every three months; in
Spain four-fifths of the business is done
on a cash basis; Turkish and Russian
credit averages twelve months; in
China credit is unknown, and thirty
DAYS is the rule in Canada.

Being a resident of Lonelywood, and
therefore interested in the public safety OF
that edenicN little suburb, Smithkins be-
longed to the Lonelywood Hose company,
together with Commuter, Isolate and all
bis other neighbors. This local organiza-
ton was a feature of Lonelywood advance
ment of which its jewellers wtEe very
proud.
They often boosted of their perfect and
dreamless sleep while feeling the restful
confidence that should one of the houses
take fire through the carelessness of the
domestic slight olang of the gong would
quickly rouse every member Of the Lonely
wood Hose company to immediate ac-
ton, and the incipient blaze be speedily
quenched.
The company had long list of imperss-
tive rules. Its members met monthly in
the schoolhouse and held an informal hop.
The badges were of beautiful, ornate de-
sign, picturing a brawny fire laddie carry
ing fair young girl down a ladder. A
member forfeited dollar any time he
should not respond to the call of duty, this
money going toward the expenses of the
annual ball, as did other incidental fines.

Smithkins' wife protested, giving him a
shake. Don't you hear me? There's q

''Thst so?" grunted Smithkins disgust
edly. s'Then I'm out dollar. -
The night was miserable one, all fog
and rain. Smithkins rolled over and pre-
tended to go to sleep.

SThey'd show their good sense if they

kins. This time he began to snore.
This little scene was being enacted in
the houses of Isolate Commuter and the
other residents, with but slight variation,
it afterward being learned that Baggsley,
whose house burned down, and who
sounded the gong, was the only member
of the hose company who ventured out.

Paste for the Household

Paper hangers paste is made by first
mixing flour with warm water until
perfectly smooth. The flour made by
the old process is best. Then boiling
water is stirred into it until the mass
swells up and becomes stiff and yellow.
1t is then done. A handful of pulver-
lied alum is added to the -four. This
makes the paste harder, helps keep it
sweet, is a preventive against insects
in the wall and destroys that sickness
which makes large pasted surfaces diff
ficult to handle. This paste will be
found useful for many household pur-
noses.

To Ascertsin Your Astra1 Color.

Perhaps you may not know what your
astral color is. If not, it is important to
ind it out if you want to be in the fash
ion. Those who have looked into the mat
ter say that a knowledge of your astral
color is important in order to induce har-
mony. You find out this way: You put
your thumbs in your ears, your forefngers
on your eyelids and with your middle
fingers you close your nostrils. Then, by
closing your lips, you are supposed to have
isolated yourself from the outer world by
closing all the sensory avenues of commu-
nication. Various coiors pass before your
closed eyes in Kaleidoscope fashion, till
ut length one settles and remains. That is
your astral color, and if you haven't al
ready ascectained, you had better try the
