The Cubans are having an experience
with cheap money and plenty Of it, says
the Sioux City Journal. Weyler is
forcing upon them paper money. 1t is
fiat money, real fat money of the kind
talked about by our populist friends,
based on credit and not on gold or other
things of value. The bishops have re-
fused to accept this cheap money for
the church, and even baptismal and
marriage ceremonies must be paid for
with gold. Those who want to know
all about cheap and abundant money
should make inquiries of the Cubans.

A Bloody Affair.

A Chadron, Neb., special gives the
following account of bloody affrsy oc-
curing at Crawford on Tuesday last ::
"a bloody battle occurred in Crawford
this afternoon, as a result Of which
Arthur Morrison, once city marshal OF
Crawford, is at the point of death, and a
dozen others are seriously injured. The
trouble began in saloon, where Morri-
son had been indulging too freely, and
a wrangle ensued between Morrison and
a man named Austin. Marshal Spear
man attempted to arrest him and Nor
rison struck him three times. Spear
man tried to down Morrison, when the
latter pulled a gun and attempted to
shoot, A bystander caught his arm,
and the shot went wide Of its mark.
Spesrman, knowing the dangerous
character of the man, clinched with
him, and using his revolver as club,
struck Morrison on the head, cutting a
great cash and fracturiDg the skull.
Morrison still showed fight, but was
finally subdued and taken to the Jail,
where he is now surrounded by
a bowling mob Of 200, and it is feared
that he will be lynched. Morrison was
convicted about year ago of the mur-
der of Avon Harris at Crawford in Janu-
airy, 1895, but secured new trial and
was then acquitted Spearman belong.

to kill Morrison "if he ever made a
break at him." The feud between the
two factions is Of long standing, and
there will doubtless be more trouble as
a result Of this last outbreak. Sheriff
Bartlett and County Attorney Fisher
have started for Crawford, which is
thirty miles distant.

River Feeding on Farms.

An Eli Point, S. d., special to the
Sioux City Journal under date of April
26, has the following: within a few
days the current Of the river west of
this city has yesred to the south, and
has stopped cutting so rapidly at the
Stockman place. It has also stopped
cutting along the north bank west Of
Stockman's, and large sandbar has
formed along the north shore. But
south from Stockman's, for distance o.
four miles, it is cutting off the rich farm
lands at rapid rate. The fine farms of
Norton Smith, Osborn, Edwards and
others are being eaten up. Edwards is
moving back his house, barns and cribs.
The largest tree in South Dakota, an
immense cottonwood, fell into the river
on Friday. 1t is said by good judges
that this tree would have made forty
cords of stove wood. 1t is estimated
that strip one rod wide, four miles
long, goes into the river every twenty,
four hours. This would equal eight
acres. On the Nebraska side the river
is cutting rapidly. The current divides
at the head Of the island. Along the
farms of Jacob Bartolf, old Mr.. Bartolf,
Pritchard, Charles Smith, Mrs. Coats,
Ezra Carter and Mrs. Carter the cutting
is the worst Mrs. Carter's house is but
few feet from the shore, and she il

ance of the strip of timber that skirted

landscape to look so strange that the

possible soon to take photographs as
far as the eye can see with a telescope.

ton of an object in the telescope TO the

can do it with an ordinary good camera

the Eye can discern objects through the

lures be taken.
You could place a common 6-inch tel
escope on top of the city hall and get

The marriage is the outcome of a real

sheet soaked in water, dashed in. picked
up the insensible beauty, wrapped her
in the cloth, and ran through the flames

iashes were burned so that he was quite

Since the rescue he has been a constant
attendant OF Mss Wright and the
