tumultuous shout that arose has only
been equalled in my memory by the pan
demonium-like roar Of the posting Of the
figures at a presidential election.
When we saillied out, half dozen
farashes, armed with long switches,
cleared the way. Never was there any
where such confusion. There was n
jamb of the populace in the narrow
ways followed by screaming, struggling,
fighting. We felt nervous. But two
soldiers kept near each of us. There
about, and, as we rode in circles on onr
wheels and did stunts" the delight of
the folks was tremendous.
The halt for couple of days gave
horsemen travelling south the opportuni-
ty of carrying the news of our coming.
So our reception in every mud village
and struggling hamlet was noisy. At
first we enjoyed the novelty, but soon it
became nuisance. Then We would
make circle round the place. But the
lookouts saw the trio, and there was q
race between the villagers across the
fields to intercept us, and we cycled for
all we were worth to give them the GO

1t was bad habit, but we turned it in

Marcus DAILY the Purchaser.

New York, Dec. 13.-The Mail and

Those who connect the visit of Will
liam Lakeland to Kentucky with the
purchase of Hamburg say there is no
doubt that Marcus Daily, the Montana
copper king, is the new owner of Han

pended quarter of million of money

of the all-conquering Tammany, except
the victory of Ogden in the futurity in

but there is reason to believe that he
engaged Lakeland as trainer and will
try his luck again.

TO be honest, one must not describe
Persia as either beautiful, or romantic,
or poetical. And yet, in saying this,
| must make exceptions.
Shiraz, the garden of love, is an ex-
ouisite spot, renowned for its rose gar
dens, its orangeries, it's myrtle groves.
The scenery is charming, and all is fra
GRANGE and delight. Towards the south
coasts, after dropping from the great
Persian tableland, there are palms ana
shady bowers; folks dress gaily and are
merry. and one did indeed feel that the
scene was eastern. There were to be
seen the marvellous ruins of Persepolis,
the great palaces built by Dermus, the
audience chamber of the mighty XerXes,
the noble hall of hundred columns,
the spot where Alexander the Grea.
Toasted.
The shattered pillars were the gaunt
remnants of a mighty. past, and an
American riding his bicycle over such
historic ground was marvel beyond

THE MORLEY MURDER.

From Rio Graude Republican.
On Tuesday night, the 10th, the
body OF Harold Morley, who had
been missing since Monday morn
ing, was found hanging by the
neck to a small tree on the road
leading from Brunswick to the
Morley ford. Death evidently re-
suited from slow strangulation as
the poor boys feet touched the
ground slightly.
The Justice Of the peace was
notified; coroner's Jury called
who examined the body, It's condi-
ton, and then took it down and
sent it home where it was quietly
inferred on Wednesday morning.
The corouer's jury up to date,
Thursday, Is still in session, hav'
ing encountered difficulties aud
contradictions in witnesses.
The murder is doubly horrible
from the fact that the boy was but
(l5) fifteen years old a bright and
friendly little chap, without a
known enemy.
There is evidently an inside
story to the murder which may be
brought out by investigation.
Mr.. Morley and Harold have
been at the Chamberino ranch
several weeks spending their vaca-
ton. Mr.. Morely, whose home is
IN Kapsas City, bal the children
there at school the past term.

In many cases sam of money is
added to the premium, not from

seems to be, among those who eK-

possible. No one thinks of waiting
until the spring; only those talk oi
waiting who see no way of starting

The Tacoma Leader, tho Tocoma
Mail company, not being able To
handily secure gold and SILVER for
use IN trading with and paying off
the Indian laborers aud early set
tiers, hit upon the novel plan OF is-
suing their own currency, and to
tins end set their blacksmith ut
work to fashion for them out of
scraps Of iron and brass pieces OF
money, or rather tokens, which
would be used ns n circulating me-
dlum. Tho pieces consisted OF
forty and forty five cent tokens and
brass one dollar pieces.
The forty cent pieces were about
an inch and quarter long, an
inch wide and a sixteenth OF an
inch in thickness. These pieces
were stamped with the figures
showing their value and readily
passed current all over the country
