SILvERTON, Sept. 22.-Receiver
Thomas Annear for the defunct Bank
of Silverton which failed about two
years ago. made his reprt to Judge
Russell while at Silverton, showing
cent more of the banks Indebtedness
to depositors, and this the court or.
dered him to do. This will make 27
per cent of the total Mr.. Annear re
ports forty Denver lots in the assets
and claim against the Silver Ledge

pay 10 per cent more.

4 VERITABLE
 DEATH VALLEY
IT Zs Zn fbe leland of JaVo. ard None eZibo Enfers 1T
 RefurnS.

Though the fabulous stories of the SO called deadly upas tree of the island of Java long since have been disprOved, yet there exists in the far interior of the island spot equally deadly to life, which is known as the Guervo upas, or valley of poison, or of death, equally fatal to man, beast or bird, says the Louisville Herald.
 Alexander Loudon, well known ex- plorcr, has succeeded in visiting this place of terror. He had heard that about three miles from Batur was valley which no person could approach without forfeiting his life and that the skeletons of human beings and all sorts of birds and beasts covered the bottom of the valley.
 Accordingly, Loudon started off, ac companied by a friend and some na. tives taking with them two dogs and some fowls.
 "On arriving at the foot of the noun tain" he writes, i've left our horses and scrambled up the side of q hill full a quarter of q mile, holding on by the extended roots and branches of trees. and We were good deal fatigued Ge- fore we gat=up the path being very steep and slippery from the heavy railI; during the night.
 ..When within a few yards of the val Icy we experienced d strong, nauseous Sickening and Sutfocating smell, but on coming close to the edge the smell ceased. We were now lost ill astonisi. ment at the awful scene below us. The valley was about a half mile in cir cumfercnce, oval. the depth from tair- ty to thirty-five feet, the bottom quite flat, no vegetation, q few large river stones, and the whole covered with the skeletons of human beings, tigers. pigs. deer, cocks and a great variety of birds and beasts. We could not pc ceiye any yapor or opening i'll the ground. which appeared to be of haf@. sandy substance The sides of the val Icy. from the top to the bottonl Were covered with vegetation, trees, shrubs, etc. It vas now proposed by one of the party to enter the valley, but at the spot where We were this was difficult, at least for lie. as d false step would have heen fatal and no assistance could be given.
 .3Ee l@hted our cigars, and. With tie assistance Of d hamitoo, We descended t0 within eighteen feet of the bottom. Here we did not experience any di4ii- culty in breathing. but felt a sickenia@, fastened to the end of a bamboo eight cen feet long and sent in. We had olr watches in our hands. and in fourteen

CHRISTMAS IN PINE BLUFF
WHAT IT MEANS PooR TO THE RIcH AT THE cHo7oe0

The meaning of Christmas rlsh' bere in Pine Bluff, a city ot Zz'ooV souls?
 If has a meaning not very hluch oi' ferent from what it means III oeiie' cites of the Christianized wofla. All tho cities and countries are nearer akin on Christmas day than on any other day in the year.
 Tn Dine Bluff there are the same services in the churches, the Sd'i'o exchanges of g fits between people Ill everv station of life, the same quaih' cpstoms ovserved among those ol lol- e;on birth. the same turkey and piuhl nnddine. that prevails in other cities.
 Rut how many stop to think that tbere are hundreds in Pine Blum Who bave no Christmas at all; that Christ mas is like any other day i'll the year to them, and perhaps are glad 'ii'' tbov have work to do on Christmas day because they are so needy that ibey must earn all they can While inc reader of this may be happy on the Christmas day there are others who will know no joy on that oeea- sion. The poor should not be foreot- ten. Let those who have cause to De hapnv increase that happiness hy making those happy who know only the gnawines of hunger and the bangs of misery.

happiness to the people ln Fine bi'iil brings to the postal clerks and carriers of the postoffice hours of extra labor, lame backs and arms and a heartfelt thankfulness that the festival season comes but once year. The rush of Christmas mail begins December ]. and from then until the middle of January. every clerk Il every depart ment of the postoffice works longer and harder than at any other time in the year.
 To estimate with accuracy the eX- tra amount of mail matter that pass es through the postoffice due to Christ mas is impossible. The increase each year over the year previous always exceeds by hundreds what has been counted upon. The postoffice force prepares to the very best Of their ahil.tv to handle the extra mail.
 The greatest increase is felt in the money order division and registry de. fartmepfs, and the majority of tHa clerks are assigned to work in those two places.
 The influence of Pine BlHT's popH- lat'on in other states is felt strongly al this fine Of the year in the mail dcnaftments and the value of the gifts hurried to friends and relatives outside of Arkansas cenld only be os timated hv the hundreds of parcels
