AT Suffers FORT.
In July, 1S45, Marshall entered the
employ of a Captain Suffer- at Suffers
fort, where now stands the city of Sac
ramento. AT that time California con-
tanned a population OF about $4,000, ex-
elusive Of the Indians. OF these, not
over 1000 were other than of Spanish
descent Grazing was the chief occu-
patton; and everything was distinctly
primitive among the colonists. Mar

Bear Flag War" and saw the hosting
of the stars and stripes at Monterey.
He was discharged from Kearney's lit
tie army in 1S47, and returned to SUIT

lowing year he was placed in charge of
the erection of a. saw mill at Columale.
since called Coloma, a small valley
formed by the widening of the canyon
of the American river about forty
miles east of Sacramento. A wandering
body of Mormons CHANGED to encamp
in the neighborhood, and Marshall
promptly pressed them into the work
upon the mill.

The old ,'estern placer-miners are
passing away Their mission was the
thorough prospecting of the land for
gold-bearing deposits and the working
out OF all the easily handled deposits.
In so doing they have contributed hum
dreds of millions to the worlds treas
Try. When the rich diggings petered
ont they began cleaning among the
tailings and old diggings in order TO
obtain the few necessarses of life. They
were forced to this as, having become
unsufted for any other mode of life,
talere WIS nothing else for them 90 do.
As their heads are silvered and their
shrinking bodies become a iabltation
for rheumatic pains and all other all
ments, real and imaginary, they spend
the most Of their time in living over
the past, enjoying the joys and re-
tasting the sweets Of the long ago.
When they can no longer pan out dust
necessary for existence they retire to
Tire county hospital, congregate, like
flies, IN the warm and sunny places,
and literally dream their lives away.
The old placer miners are recognized
at q glance by any one acquainted
with the type, for not only is their APP
pearance characteristic, but their eyes,
with their Tar-away look. are lit by the
weird light of insanity. Their mania
is Of a mild type, mostly hallucina-
tons, sp8rftualism, or a. general daft
ness; but it is insanity nevertheless,
and is the inevitable outcome of their
comparative seclusipn, manner of life
and modes Of thought. That it is
mild type is party due to the fact that
their unbalanced imaginations have
rum In naturally peaceable channels
and partly TO those possessed of
1iotous tendencies having long since
either graduated by the neck-tie"
route on else succumbed to lead

What do you think of our new
American magazines?''
Il think the new American maya
zines teach US many things. The de-
mand for the larger American maya
zines is not quite so extensive as il
was, the reason being that we have
SO many magazines of our own. One
of the most notable features Of recent
years has been the great revival OF
magazines in England. No new one
has any chance Of success unless it is
fully illustrated. It is my hope some
day to edit a magazine on entirely
fresh lines, which would circulate bo1h
in England and America. -

of the prospects of English litera-
ture?''
1T seems to me that there is much

But so long as great questions OF the

FARMS VS.. CITIES.

You come to US and tell us
that the great cities are in
favor of the gold standard. I
tell you that the great cities
rest upon these broad and
fertile prairies. Burn down
your cities and leave our
farms, and your cities will
spring up again as If by
magic. But destroy our farms,
and the grass will grow in the
streets of every city in this
country. = William Jennings

AS TO THE FIRST PIECE OF GOLD
There has been much discussion con-
corning the first piece Of gold discov-
cred by Marshall. Mrs. WINNER, the
loquacious cook, claimed that it was
in her possession. The nugget, which
she stated had been presented to her
by Marshall, weighed five dollars and
twelve cents, and was of peculiar
shape. Marshall, however, emphati-
cally denied that this was his first
find. In after years Mr.. and Mrs. VIM
mer tried to sell the nugget to the
Pioneer society of San Francisco for
several hundred dollars. Judge Clarke
objected, on this occasion, that the
first piece of gold found at Coloma
was already in the National museum
at Washington. Eventually the VIM
mers sold the doubtful relic to prl-
vate collector named Allen.
The nugget in the National museum
is stated to have been given to Captain
Folsom, u. S. A, by Marshall in 1S4S,
as the very first piece Of gold found
in California"

Mig Victory for Ironwood.

Ironwood has been saved $500, 900 by
n decision of the U. S. court of appeals
at Cincinnati. In August, 1898, the
city sold Sl50,0 of public improve
sment bonds to Caffin & Stanton, of
New York, who paid $25, 900 down and
agreed to pay the remainder in install
ments, but soon became financially
embarrassed. Ironwood got only the
first installment. The bonds passed
into hands of other men, who de-
manhed the payment of interest. IRON
wood refused, holding that the bonds
were illegal, for the reason that, be-
tween the time of the voting on the
question of issuing bonds and their
sale to Caffin g. Stanton, territory was
added TO the city, and the new citizens
were given no opportunity to vote on
ON the bonds. The district court of
Marquette decided against the bond
holders and it's decision has been af-
6rmed by the court of appeals.

There were many miraculous escapes
from instant death. The streets are
impossible, blocked with debris of

At Oneida several buildings were de-

Probably three score of buildings were

At Least 80 Killed and 900 Manned by
Cyclone In Texas.
A cyclone terrible in ITS effects passed
over the state of Texas. The funnel
shaped cloud in it's disastrous passage
whipped up within its vortex every
thing in its reach, leaving death, suf-
fering and destruction in its wake.
Fully so persons were killed, while the
MANNED and mangled will number 200
more. The destruction of stock and prop
erty and the money loss is incalculabie.
The town of Sherman suffered most
severely and at least so people were
killed. The towns of Howe, Denison,
Justin, Denton, Marshall and the in
tervening country were struck by the
monster and lives were lost at every
point.
The first blast of the cyclone was
felt at Justin, in Denton county, more
than 100 miles from Sherman. The
work OF ruin was quickly accomplished
there. From there the cyclone swept
through Gerald, Denton and Mingo, to
Gribble Springs and on to Mustang. A
hundred miles was travelled in an hour.
The small settlements along the line of
the NJ. X. 81 II. railroad. north of Den
ton, all suffered. The southeast end
of Sherman received the full force of
the storm. which, while sweeping over
Denton comfy and n part of Grayson.
seemed to have gathered new fury to
have wreal1ed the worst of it's ruin on
Sherman. The list of dead reaches 90,
and several of the wounded are eX

some bodies are yet uncovered, but
several hundred men are searching the
fields, digging up the debris and drag
cling the creeks.
