done, and then said: You lie down,

of ground and every prospect hole for
a mile had been examined. Mrs. Wal
ker was sure he had fallen down some
shaft and been killed, but her husband
po0h-poohed the idea and said it was all
nonsense. Jack simply wandered around
until he got tired and then went to
sleep under 4 sage-bush and had been
overlooked. There wasn't tine least
danger in the world, and his wife was
foolish to worry to about it. He knew
better, hut it wouldn't do any good
to tell her the ground was covered with
abandoned shafts from 10 to 200 feet
deep into which the little feet might
stray.
He didn't want any supper, and, with
out seeing the girls, who were still out,
took a canteen of water ana went TO
find his boy. From that time till morn
ing the scattered searchers on the hill
and the prospector in his cabin heard
every three or four minutes the big
voice, now near, now far away, now
hopeful, now almost a wall, but always
loud and clear, Jack, papa is looking
for you" Jack, answer papa, Stay
where you are" and Jackie, cali to
papa" Soon everybody caught the idea.
Calls were heard all over the hills, but
the loudest and most constant, the one
that never rested, was tne cry, Papa s
looking for his little boy; call to papa,

was glistening the snow-capped peaks
to the west, and transforming each rock
and sage-bush on the hills into a thing
of beauty, while the canyons and the
valley to the south were still in shadow,
Walker, hatless and bleeding from many

himself facing a wall tent That he
didn't recognize, but somewhere near

toward it, and as he did so Ben Jones
stepped from behind, with cooked rifle
at his shoulder, and called out, stop

in as good shape as possible. This may
look Ike reckless and lawless piece
of business to the average reader, and
it was, but it didn't strike the miners
and gamblers of Mercur so. and every
man in camp knew that either Walker
or Jones or both would be dead on the
disputed ground within THE next "A
hours and nobody thought of trying to
stop them.
Walker was hardly over the divide
when the Salt Lake stage drew up at
the cabin and unloaded his wife and
three children. 1t had been their inten-
ton all along to come out for the hot
weather. but not for three or four weeks
yet. But the owner of their cottage
sold it to some one who wanted to move
in at once. Mrs. Walker knew the
father would be glad enough to see
them at any time, so stored the things
not needed at the camp. sent the others
out by freight wagons, and loaded her.

Nobody told her about her husbands

and the girls gayly took possession and
proceeded to clean up the cabin and
have woman-cooked supper for its
grizzly old owner when he got back.
They were so taken up with their work
and with specializing on where best to
hide to see papa's surprised face when
he came in that they forgot all about
little Jack for as much as five minutes.
When mamma looked up and asked Katie
where Jack was, she answered: ''Just
ont in front picking mountain flowers"
Her mother suggested she had better
look after him little or he might
wander away. Katie looked, but there
was no Jack in sight. She went around
the cabin, and then extended the search
and was soon chasing wildly through
the sage brush in that vicinity, but saw
no sign of the runaway. When she
rushed back out of breath and said she
could not find him, there was commo-
ton in that two-room cabin. The moth
er and Edna joined in the search and
the neighbor woman helped; they knew
he couldn't have gone far; but it was
getting late and Jack wanted to be home
and cleaned up when papa got back.
After half an hour or so it began to
look serious; she was a stranger and
didn't want to make trouble, but the
child must be found before night She

DEATH OF MRS. SELLERS.

Daily Argus of Frid ay, July IA.
A little mlre than a year ago,
the ARGUS announced the ringing
of merry wedding bells and the
happy marriage of Miss Mollie
AyCock and Mr.. Nathan Sellers.
To-day, with sorowful heart and
faltering per, We announce the
telling of mournful funeral bells,
the sad death of Mrs. Mollie Ay-
cock Ssllers, which occurred yes
terday afternoon,in Wilson, whore
she had been taken a short while
previous for special medic ii treats
ment.
Immediately after their mar
riage, M. Sellers brought his
beautiful bride to his home at
Goldsboro, and her many friends
here welcomed her, and rel )iced
th, this was to be her home. Her
coming was benediction to all
those who had the pleasure of hel
acquaintance and friendship. She
was kind-bearted and true, a wo-
anly-woman-God's best gift to
man.
Mrs. Sellers was the daughter
of the late Mr.. Jesse Ayeock, and
the neice of Hon. C. B. Aycock,
of this city, and Hon. B. F. Ay-
cock, of Fremont.
The funeral services were held
at Fremont, the home of the
mother of Mrs. Sellers, this morn
ing and the interment was made in
the old family burying ground.
The hearts t f our people go out
in deepest sympathy to ths young
husband in his great grief and
irreparable bereavement, ,and to the
sweet baby boy, who will never
know a mothers fathomless love
or tender caress.

Immigration.

New York, July IA Nearly
complete returns to the Treasury
Department show 311,878 immi.
grants for the year ending June
30.against 229, ,229 for the twelve-
month previous. This increase
of 82,579, which may become a
little larger with revised returns,
is over 36 per cent.
| It should be noted. however,
thai the immigration for the
pre- year had been the small
est for nearly two decades. We
should have to go back to 1879
to find a smaller. Besides, great
Quotations from year to year are
the rule rather than the excep>
tiou in immigration. The mum Der
of arrivals in 1880, for example,
457,257, was over two and half
times greater than that of the
year before. but was in turn outs
done by the 669.431 of the year
after aud the 788,982 Of 1882, the
greatest in our history. The
year 1888 showed a drop to $685.
322, the next year TO 518,592. the
the next to 365, 346 and the next
to 334, ,2O3. In 1887 came rally
to 400, 100, followed by 455. 302
and by 56o,319. In 1892 there
was another great record, $685.
084, and then successive drops to
500, 917, TO 3l4, 467 and to 279,-
948 In 1896 there was rally to
343, ,267. succeeded, however, by
drops to 530,835 and to last year S
229. 229, while now the tide is
turning again.
There is good reason, too, to
expect continuance of the in
crease. o. the last years gains
about half were in the two fnal
months. namely, u. 600 for May
and 2O,676 for June. We may
therefore presume the gain will
go on. immigration is governed
much by current conditions in
the countries from which the
immigrants come and by those
they expect to find here. AS
early as last summer it became
evident that the war which had
begun during the previous fiscal
year would be of short duration,
and would end in triumph for
US. By autumn there were signs
of general return of prosperity |
to the country, and this spring
that prosperity was assured and
was made known in other coun
tries as we'll as ours.
The question that employment
can be looked for here in farm
ing or in the mechanical indus
tries is, of course. a serious one
for those who want to try their
fortunes in the New World. |
Just now the answer to that |
question is favorable, and we may
lock for food tide in immigration
for some time to come.
