Tuesdays News.

Mr. G. d. Ingersoll was over from
Missouri yesterday. 1t is reported
that he is figuring on putting in q
paper at LaHarpe.
The Pittsburg and Girard company
of about 20 men went through today
enroute to Topeka. They are all raw
recruits with the exception of the
officers, but they were lusty enthusi-
astic young fellows and will do the
work required. 1t made Company
ID. sick to see the boys and empha-
lied the assinine idiocy of the be-
loved governor in dis isbanding one
of the best companies in the State
and taking raw men.
Rev. l. b. Pulliam and family left
on the noon train today for their new
home in Trinidad. The departure
of very few families indeed from the
city would be so sincerely regretted
as was that of today. y large num-
ber Of ladies who have been associat-
ed with Mrs. Pulliam in church work
were at the train to bid her farewell
and wish her complete restoration
to health. Little girls and boys
parted tearfully from the PASTORS
children who were general favorites,
and sober men elasped the hand of
the departing minister with quiet but
deep feeling. The NJ. +. church Of
lola has prospered greatly during
Rev. Pulliam's charge and the con-
gregation and the people of the city
generally have none but the very
best wishes for him and his family
in their new Colorado nome.
The Neosho river has responded to
the call of the Storm and has mobil-
lied every drop of water not needed
for the evolution of Americas squad
rons between it's banks. The largest
warships in the navy would find little
difficulty in anchoring off the Missou-
ri Pacific bridge and the cities which
have angered Fate by their repetition
of that time worn joke about Spain
sailing up their muddy little creeks,
may now comprehend the evil of their
jokes. For quarter mile on either
side of the river the NeoshO is five
feet deep, while the channel is a
seething, surging torrent, full of de-
bris which has accu mulated during
the long interval since the last high
water, All day Monday driftwood
was taken from the stream and still it
continues to come down. A few more
rains and the Mineral well will be
floating around again, a sight which
only the old residents have witnessed.
1t is to be hoped, however, that the
back of the drouth. is. thoroughly brok-
en-, and that fuzz on the back Of the
little yellow-legged chicken may now
have chance to dry 30 that he can
hustle into shape for the Glorious
Fourth which Kansas will have to
celebrate this year.

today, though trifle, has passed into
the economy Of civilization" The
speaker closed by commencing to the
class the motto found on the shield of
the old King of Bohemia, slain on the
fiele of Crecy, "Ich dien, II serve"
After the close of the address which
was magnificent effort, and which
was closely followed and warmly ap-
plauded by the audience, the chorus,
"The rose and the Nightingale" was
beautifully rendered by the pupils.
Mr.. l.. II. Wishard made neat
speech of presentation and delivered
to each graduate Certificate as re-
ceipt for good, conscientious study
After this an attempt, which proved
almost successful, was made to bury
the members of the graduating class
in flowers. Baskets upon Baskets
were heaped at their feet, together
with books and gifts of all kinds.
The exercises closed with another
chorus by the High school and the
benediction by Rev. Fraser. Then
the people gathered around class and
clasped their hands and wished them
all success, and so the Commence
ment of 1898 passed into history and
the young people turned their inquir-
ing gaze upon the future and its
promises and problems.

WEALTH IN MINE DEBRIS.
About s25O,OOO Worth OF
TnilinEs for $4,000.

There are some men ii this world
who have TO toll for II mere apology
of a living-and then there are others.
One of these latter is Mr.. Luce, of
Cargo Muchacho. Luce's experience
reads like a romance. For 20 years he
had knocked about the coast, on the
desert, in the mountains, prospecting
and mining, and had finally, by hard
work and the closest economy man
aged to scrape together few hundred
dollars.
One day on the shores of the Col
orado, some 20 miles north of Yuma,
he met an old Mexican who told him of
a deserted mine some ten miles back
from the river and seven miles north
of Hedges. Luce's interest was aroused,
and he visited that mine, to find there
an abandoned 20-stamp mill which had
pounded away for many years and
finally shut down. He then learned the
story. The mill was on leased ground.
The lessee had mined the property on
shares and had done fairly well, al
though the ore was not entirely free
milling. One day the vein "pinched
out" The mining man was sure he
had simply lost the lead, and that it was
there all right, but the owners refused
10 put up cent to help him find it
again, and, tired of living on the desert,
he threw up the whole business and
left.
Luce examined the property and dis
covered that there was a small noun
tain of tailings, the accumulation of
years, piled up behind the mill. He
tested these tailings with cyanide.
Then he measured the pile roughly and
estimated there was over 100000 tons
of the stuff there. That night he wrote
TO the president of the company in New
York city, Offering them ten cents per
ton for the tailings on basis of 100,-
900 tons. The president read the letter,
looked surprised, and called the direct
ors together. They read the letter,
looked wise, tapped their foreheads sig
niticantly and laughed to each other.
This poor fellow Luce should be
called goose" said one.
Deserts proved too much for him
probably gone daft" observed another.
Nob one VI lneln LnOuBnJ InOSe Ldll-
ings were worth anything, and they
had almost entirely forgotten that old
mine out on the Colorado desert. But
they answered the letter, telling Luce
to go ahead.
This was in April of last year. On
receipt of the letter Luce Immediately
erected q cyanide plant costing him
about 500 of his own and his friends
money. Then they hired Is Mexicans
and Indians and began work on those
tailings. The other day some repre-
sentatives of the mine company were
returning from San Francisco, and,
passing through the desert, thought
they would visit the mine.
"How are you?" said Luce. "Glad to
see you. By the way, we might as well
fix up our little account now as at any
time" and so saying he threw the as
tonished Gothamites check for $40, 900.
Then he explained that in the mine
months he had been running the
cyanide plant he had cleaned up $45,-
600 and that there was plenty of tail
ing in sight to net him 100000 within
three years.-San Diego (Cal.) Sun.
