In the death of Charles kroger, an

a severe loss. He was man that no
community could well afford to lose
Honorable and upright to marked
degree, he was a prominent factor in
the history of the town for the past
quarter of Il century. and contributed
in no small way toward its advance
ment and prosperity. He was bona
fide resident. and one who always had
firm faith in the future Of the city.
Mr.. kroger was one of the members Of
the first board of aldermen after the
town was Incorporated and was al
ways willing and anxious to do any
thing looking &c the upbuilding of the
city in which he made his home, never
neglecting dnty imposed upon him,
oftentimes sacrificing time that he
could i'll afford in order to perform

MAKING MONEY.
Unusual Chances in War Time, But
Plenty of Opportunities All
the Time.

Daniel Arms, Clerk.

'In war time" said, man of mature
years, there are always unusual
chances that are taken advantage of by
men of foresight to make money. This
reminds me of what Josh Billings said,
that If our foresight was as good as our
hindsight we'd all be rich,' or words to
that effect.
AT the outbreak of the civil war in
this country there were long-headed
men who stored away manufactured
cotton goods, bleached and unbleached.
cottons, sheetings, and SO on. AS the
war went on, what with the curtailment
of production and the blockade of
southern ports, the price of cotton
scared skyward and manufactured cot
ton goods increased in value CORE
spondingly. Most men peddled out
their holdings as the price rose, but
some held on and got for their goods
six or eight times what they paid for
them.
There has been no such money as
that made in this war yet, and don t
suppose there's likely to be, but it would
be easy to pick out things that have
risen greatly in value and that a man
might easily have made fortune on if
he'd known what was going to happen.
Suppose he'd have brought all the bunt
ing there was, for instance, or taken
fall out of sulphur, or put away few
hundred eases Of Spanish olives. He'd
have found money in all these things
and in various others. But then man
can find money in time of peace, too, if
he knows how to look"

Pierre Lagrange a we'll known cow
boy in the employ of Ryan Bros Cattle
Co., was brought in yesterday from the
valley and placed in the hospital having
been shot in the abdomen by Porter
Mcdonald at the Tedrow ranch. The
cause of the shooting, as near as can
be learned, were as follows: The cow
boys had some dispute at roundup
regarding steer when, it is said, Mo-
Donald withdrew rather than continue
the quarrel. When they met again the
next day, Mcdonald asked Lagrange
for some money that the latter owed
him. This led to some remarks and
Immediately Lagrange slid off on the
side of his horse and began firing Nc
Donald did likewise with the result
that Lagrange was shot as stated La
grange fell and shouted "You have got
me-" Whereupon Mcdonald walked
towards him to render any assistance
and when close to him Lagrange again
drew his pistol and fired another shot
which barely missed Mcdonald. The
latter then rushed on him and took his
pistol away. Several of the cowboys
saw the affair and state the first shot
was fred by Lagrange.-Prospector.

The present war has introduced new
and perplexing problems in the chan
nels of trade. Heretofore, when large
numbers of men have been takon from
the producing and added to the con-
Stunning classes, it has had the effect of
raising the price of everything required
for the sustenance and comfort of man.
But this war has had exactly the con-
trary effect. There is no sale for beef
or wool, two articles that are most es-
sential, not only to the comfort but to
the existence of mankind. If the Will
