Biit Nye on Literature.

The attention of the public was first called to Bill Yves writings on account of his vigorous English, says the Chi osgo Inter Ocean. His language was of the wild West order. For example: The professor If rational psychology ot Boulder college wrote to the Laramie Boomerang and asked the editor the question, "What is literature?"
 "Whst is literature" exclaimed Bill, pointing half ccntemptuously to the columns of the Boomerang. "Wbat IS letersture' Cast your eye over these logic imbued columns, you sun dried savant from the remote precincts. Drink st the never, failing Boomerang springs of forgotten lore you dropsical wart of n false and erroneous c!yiliza. tion. Read our Address to Sitting Bull, or our Ode to the Busted Snou, of n Shattered Venus de Milo,' if you want to fill up your thirsty soul with high priced literature. Don't go round hungenng for literary pie while your eyes are closed and your capacious ears are filled with bales of hay"

Peer Indeed!

There are degrees and kinds of poverty, just as their are differences of opinion among those who con- pute and measure poverty and riches by different standards. Some men deem themselves poor because they are less rich than others, again there are compara- lively poor people who are satisfied with a competence. There is a kind of poverty for which no amount of wealth can compensate, namely, a poverty of bodily stami- na, evinced by nervousness and a Arrangement of the functions of digestion, bilious secretions and the bowels. To restore vigor upon a permanent basis there is one remedy that fully covers the requirements, fills the bill" and this is Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters. By restoring digestion, giving a healthful inn pulse to the action of the bowels and liver and tranquillizing the nerves, it fulfills the condition nec- essary to a resumption of strength by the system. It also overcomes malaria and rheumatism.

CALIFORNIA FARMS.
The Great Ranches to Be Gut Up
 for Small Farmers.
A Large Syndicate Has Been Formed to Control the Land Holdings -somc Particulars sf the Mam-
 moth Dcal.

A syndicate has been formed to pur- chase and place on the market over n dozen of the largest and most valuable ranches in northern California. All arrangements for closing the deal have been perfected, and within few days all the papers required to bind the holders of the vast tracts of land to the terms of the transfer will be drawn up and signed. From present indications the syndicate will close with l53,0o0 acres, though it is probable that an ad- ditional 10000 of the Cone ranch may be admitted into the deal. All this prop crty, which is now owned and culti- yated by few wealthy men, will be cut up into small ranches of 20 and 10 acres and be improved with dwellings and outhouses. When the vast acreage of the syndicate land is taken into con sideration, and the fact that the land has n frontage of "A miles on the west bank of the Sacramento. besides large frontage on the east bank, the colossal extent of the big land deal will be readily apparent.
 Arrangements are not completed as to the Cone property, as 1t is otdefinite- ly known whether the original offer of the Cone estate of 5000 acres will be supplemented with an additional 0,000 acres. Arrangements have been com pleted for the transfer of l53,000 acres The most important holdings in the list are us follows: On the west side of the Sacramento river-Boggs, 12, 400 acres; Glenn, 4l,500 acres; Chambers, 20,000 acres: Finnell, 10000 acres; Tyler, 2,OO0 acres; Hamstreet, 1,500 acres; Hart, l,500 acres; Rawsop, 4,74l acres: on the east side of the river-Revis grant, 5000 acres; Bidwell, TOGO acres; Cone, 5000 acres; Wilson, $500 acres. These are the principal holdings, and they are interspersed with smaller hold ings of 1000 acres and less.
 Mir. Chambers, who has placed 10000 acres in the syndicate, is prominent capitalist of St. Louis. His agent and attorney in fact is John Finnell, who has put an equal amount of land into the pool. To expedite the work of dividing the big holdings into small improved ranches, and thus attract settlers to California, a corporation will be formed, 10 which all the lands enumerated will be deeded eventually. The sale of the stock of the corporation will be used to pay the owners for their property though many of the owners have sig mined their willingness to take the pur' chase price of their land, in part, at least, in stock. Then the plan will be to subdivide the land into classes. Lands are to be offered at prices that will represent their relative value, and whatever surplus is derived above the cost to the corporation will be distrib- uted to the purchasers of the land when the first subdivision of 10000 acres is closed out. The object is to sell the land at very low figure, it being the ultimate and paramount object of all interested to secure subdivision and occupation of the country by actual settlers.-San Francisco Chronicle.

COAL TEN DOLLARS 4 TON.
The Poor Have to Pay More Than Double
 Price for It.

Ten dollars a ton is high price for coal, but that is what the unfortunate poor, who can at one time purchase only n small quantity of the necessi- ties of life, have to pay for it.
 Ten cents pail" answered an Ital- ian dealer in coal, wood and ice, who occupies dark basement on the poor est part of Second avenue, in answer to my question. paid ten cents, took q pail of the coal to a scale and found that it weighed l9 pounds. At that rate the poor who have to buy coal in such small quantities-and thousands in the city have to--pay more than ten dol- lars ton. The man of moderate means who has a coal house convenient to his apartment pays less than one half of that amount, while the man of wealth, with commodious cellar, who in summer lays in his winter supply, buys coal at much smaller price.
 Then the man of means, for his kindling wood, pays less than half what it costs the poor, who pay five cents for three of the diminutive bundles sold in their neighborhood. Measurement shows that one of these bundles contains 243 cubic inches, on which basis a cord costs SIG.
 The persons who pay these extrava- gant prices, and who buy potatoes in small quantities, when they are fortu- nate enough to have a few cents, pay five cents q quart or Sl 60 n busheI while the man of means can lay in a supply for less than one-half that price.
 From one of the small dealers pur- chased five cents worth of ice, and 'ound that it was just one-fourth of the weight of the piece that my dealer charges ten cents for.--N. Y. Herald.

The New York legislature has passed the bill compelling railway companies to carry bicycles ss baggage, says the Engineering News. and 1t may reason ably be expected that other States will follow suit. The railway companies opposed the bill, but their influence counted for nothing compared with each legislstor's knowledge of the fact that every bicycler among his constitu- ents was watching his course with refer ence to the bill. Doubtless other States will follow the lead of New York, for things like these are con- taRions.

BIG FIRE AT PARIS.
Five Hundred Thousand ,i'ars Worth

Murder and Arson Suspected.

PARIS, TEX, April 2s, p. m.-
Paris was visited bY terrible holo-
caust this morning at an early hour,
when fire was discovered in the By
waters building, a three-story struct-
ure. The building was a fire trap
and in fifteen minutes was in ruins.
The flames then spread to the seven
story annex of the Hotel Peterson,
which was swallowed up in few
minutes. The flames soon reached
the hotel proper, on the public
square, which soon yielded to the
inevitable and that grand structure
was soon a molten mass of ruins.
The angry flames then spread from
the hotel to the Bywaters building
occupied by the Pacific express COM
pany. j. y. Cross and the Randy
Kitchen, also to the building owned
by Clement and Tate and occupied
by DR.. K. f. Morris and Miss Gresh-
am, and the warehouse of Allen Hick-
man & Co., owned by the Clement
estate. The Hotel Noyes and the
business houses of Mr.. Huber, Miss
Ctborn and W. f. Carter, as well rs
the Peterson hotel, which was owned
and occupied by r. Peterson, are n
total loss, together with larger part
Of the contents. The total loss of
property will aggregate 100000.
John Salmon, a deputy L. 5. mar
shal, was burred in the Bywaters
building. 1t is alleged that the Off
Ger was foully murdered and the
building fired to hide the crime.
Two men were fatally injured by
falling walls and one has since died.

In the Round About column of the

from Hon. G. b. Kendrick, Of this

views on the conditions as they ex-
ist in this country. III as follows:
Judge &. b. Kendrick, of Ardmore,
/. T., is in Dallas on his way to Paris,
where he goes to prosecute the al
legged slayer of Johnson Lewis, sher-
ih OF Tishomingo county, who was
killed two years ago.
The legislature Of the ChicSasaw
nation made n special appropriation
for the prosecution Of Lewis slayer,
and employed Judge Kendrick for
that purpose. lie said TO Round
About last night: 81 speak only for
the Chickasaw nation, but many
newspaper reports Of doings in that
section are very unfair. There's over
l50, ,OC0 whites and less than 5000 In
dians in the Chickasaw country and
we get along togeter very handsome
". There is not an instance on rec
ord where an Indian attempted TO vi
olate a contract with n white man.
am opposed to the proposition to
open up the territory, because | be-
lieve it would work a hardship on
our settlers, who have made their
contracts under the treaty OF 1866.
All that we ask is that our judi
cilry shall have control. We have
as fine 4 set of jurors serving in trials
at Ardmore as can be found. The
per centum of convictions attest
this fact. There is not a farmer, me
chanic or professional man who has
been sober and energetic during a
two years stay in the Chickasaw
country who is not in better condi-
ton than when be came.
