The dissolution of the republican conven-
ton has caused interest to be renewed in
the approaching democratic gathering of
the same sort, which will soon assemble in
Chicago, and the local democrats are again
regarding their six chosen delegates in an
interrogative manner. Mr.. Frank P Nor
gan, one of the chosen six, who attended
the st. Louis convention in his capacity as
newspaper man, came back with the cor
res pondents on their special train, and was
rather critical of his associates on the dele
cation for holding meeting in his absence
and choosing the officers of the delegation.
Mr.. Morgan, when seen by Star reporter
today, sported in his buttonhole a bright
silver disc, with small gold star in the
center: It bore in blue letters this inscrip-
ton: Nebraska, 16 to l." Upon being
asked whether the button expressed his
sentiments on the subject Of the financial
question, he declared that it did, and he
said that in the west everybody was talk

OF course there probably are articles

the footwear Of spoiled daughters of

These go to the maids, and thence to

CHINESE HlGHBINDERS.
Bitterness of the Vendetta Shown In
Recent Incident.


Recent Incident.
The bitterness of the vendetta of
local Chinese merchants was shown re-
Gently in the arrival and warlike prep
arations of ID of the most notorious
Ratchet men in the state. The appear
ance of these highbinders and the an
nouncement that the price held upon
the heads of Joe Gar and Lee Nee Toy
had been increased to 81 600 caused the
greatest excitement in the district. The
news spread rapidly and agents of both
sides were on the streets, at the police
stations and at the Chinese consulate.
1t is claimed that the highbinders have
been brought to this city by Lee Zip
Duck. the Chinese merchant and
gambler, who instigated the expulsion
of the prescribed merchants from their
society, and at whose door it placed
the blame for all the recent dis
turbances, including the murder of the
Chinese clamdiggers.
Four Chinese have reported to the
authorities that they overheard a con-
versation in which Lee Zip Duck guar
anteed to pay 81 900 for the life of either
Joe Gar or Lee Nee Toy. These men are
willing to swear to their statement and
insist that series of new murders is
being planned. Most of the Chinese
hi@hbindcrs who arrived in the city are
from Fresno. They belong to the Bow
onTong, the most notorious and most
powerful highbinders' society in the
state. Among its members are the most
desperate Chinese criminals in Califor.

WONDERFUL SKILL.
Ingenuity OF Mexican In Following a
Human Trail.

Every one who has spent much time
upon the frontier has heard Of the re-
markable faculty of Dolores Sanchez.
the famous trailer of New Mexico and
southern Arizona. So eminent an au-
thority as Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who
has had unusual personal knowledge Of
the work Of trailers and scouts, is quot
ed as saying that some of Sanchez ac-
complishments are more than eXtraor-
binary, and that his powers border on
the mythical. Gen. Ruger, United
States army, tells the following story
of an experience with this remarkable
man, to show the skill Of an expert
scout: 81 was once in pursuit OF lot
Of Comanches, who had been followed,
scattered, and the trail abandoned by
a company of so-called Texas rangers.
On the eighth day after the scattering
Sanchez found the trail from a single
shod horse.
when we were fairly in the rough,
rocky Guadalupe mountains he
stopped, dismounted and picked up
from the foot of a tree the four shoes
of the horse ridden by the Indian.
With a grim smile he handed the shoes
to me and said that the indian had tried
20 hide his trail For six days we jour
neyed over the toughest mountains,
turning and twisting in apparently the
most objectless way, not man in the
whole command being able to discover,
sometimes for hours, a single mark by
which Sanchez might direct himself.

he would abstractedly answer, and i'll

windings of this trail, for over $50
miles, and only three or four times dis

SEEN IN A VISION.
Dream Which Has Much in Common
with the Reality.


with the Reality.
Alex Gindelsberger, farmer living
near Portsmouth, o., was called from
his home at night by unknown men and
murdered. The night the crime was
committed, says the New York
World, his daughter Mary, 10
years old, stayed at the home of
William Cook in Portsmouth. The
next morning at breakfast she told her
strange dream.
She said that it seemed that some one
called her father, and that he went out
side. where he was murdered. After
this she thought that she heard rap
pings in her room, and on the head OF
the bed in which she was sleeping. She
was so terrified that she covered her
head with the bed clothing and went to
sleep. She was awakened soon and i'm
agined that a hand touched her and
pointed toward where her father was
lying dead.
Within an hour after she had finished
telling about the dream she received
telegram saying that her father was
dead. She afterward learned that he
had been killed as she had seen in the
vision and at about the same time.

Young women who embroder their
own handkerchiefs use for the material
a linen cambria, heavy or very sheer,
according to the use of the handlier-
chief. A pretty design seen upon one
CT these dainty kerchiefs is a lovers
knot in each corner. In one of them the
initials are worked in the loops of the
bow. Another design was an outline of
a butterfly with the initials inside the
wings. A quickly worked design that
is effective shows an embroidered
spiders web, with letters in old English
in the center. Often a tiny wreath of
ones favorite flowers is done in solid
embroidery or a combination OF out
line stitch and solid embroidery. The
entire first name is worked in the cen
tern. Y, Post.

Face preiu,lice in New orleans.

The negroes of New Orleans, who
number $4,000 or about onefourth of
the whole population, have filed petit
tions with several railroads to provide
them with some park or picnic grounds
where they can go of an evening. The
public parks are legally open to them,
but the race prejudice is so strong that
very few venture to go there. For the
past few years Spanish Fort, where Gen.
Jackson entered New Orleans, has been
their chief resort; but this summer it
was thrown open to the whites, and con
sequently closed to colored people.
little Woods has followed suit, and
the negroes have nowhere to go. They
recollect that even in slavery days they
had one special park set aside for them
by the whites, and which still bears the
name of "Congo square," 1t has been
rechristened Place dArmes and BeauIe-
gard place, but all in vain. It is still

improved. If trained and disciplined
(but it is very doubtful whether that

THE GREAT BUSTARD.
1t Has Been Extinct in England for More
Than Fifty Years.


Than Fifty Years.
The great bustard formerly haunt
ed all the level counties of England,
and was particularly common on Sails
bury plain. From the reign of Henry
VIII. repeated measures were passed
in order to protect it; and it is express
ly included under the head of game in
the statute of the first year of the
reign Of William ", which codified and
reformed the laws relating to game. The
close season for bustard shooting was
and is from the first of March othe first
of September. But the native bustard is
now extinct in England. The last was
killed at Swaffham in Norfolk, in 1888.
Any that have been shot since have
been merely casual visitors, probably
coming from the plains of SaXony. The
causes of the disappearance of the bus
tard are, firstly, the sport they af-
forded, for they were hunted with
greyhounds as well as shot; secondly,
the increase in the amount of cultivated
land. This largest of European birds,
weighing as much as 80 pounds, could
no longer find any sufficient support
on the closely cropped plains of Eng
land.

CAUSES OF HEADACHE.

~ Liver.

Most OFTEN Produced by a Disarranged
Liver.
The common headache of everyday
life is the one we desire to call attention
to. We think we are safe in saying
that all simple acute headaches are
caused by indigestion, which is pro
duced by the use of inferior food or ar
inability to use good food. Also al
most all chronic headaches are caused
by dyspepsia, constipation and disor-
ders of the liver, and these troubles are
very closely related. Constipation is
always associated with dyspepsia. The
liver, the greatest depuInting organ
of the body, is INSTRUCTED and diseased
in cases of dyspepsia. So it ought to
be understood by all who wish to be in
formed ON the subject that the stom-
ach, bowels and liver belong to the
digestive system, and that one cannot
be diseased without more or less in
volving the others. These are the blood
making organs. About one-siXth of The
blood of the body circulates in the
head, and when this blood is loaded
with impurities and improperly ela5'
GRATED, then the brain and its struc-
lures are irTitated and painful. This
is called headache. The depurating or
gans-the bowels, liver, skin, Kidneys
and lungs-have failed to carry out the
waste of the system from some cause.
There has been too little exercise, sit
ting or working in illy-yentilatsd
