Horsefly creek continues to Oc- cupy a great deal of attention, and in spite of conflicting rumors, which may or may not be purposely cir culated, the fact remains that there is much travel between the new diggings and this city and adjoining communities. During the past week several well known miners returned rom the new camp, but so far as lhfs newspaper is informed, there .s nothing new to report. That rhere are excellent prospects is established by plentiful evidence, but % far none of the miners inter viewed will state that there is gold n paying quantities in sight. The statement has been quite generally circulated that Mike McDermOtt has developed a paystreak that runs 7 cents to the pan. Likewise @ rumor is current that Frank Daw- son and Lars Osness have pay dirt. Neither of these rumors can be confirmed, although many who claim to know admit that these men o'have good prospects" Re liable information also is at hand that there have been single pans that showed from to 2 cents in gold. These values, according to The Pioneers infOrmants, were not sustained,
 There have been rumors iu cir culation also of pending deals, but the figures mentioned would not seem to indicate that pay had been struck in the ground in ne- gotiation, but rather that someone
 was willing to expend money on a chance that pay might develop. At any rate, no one has yet come for ward who is willing to assume re- sponsibility for the statement that pay dirt has been found on Horse | fly or it's tributaries,

Some one told me there were three

above or below the mark, there were
enough of them to duty for the work.
Their long reeds as badges of au-

1 have attended many Confederate
reunions and I reckon have gotten
into the habit of measuring up the
efficiency of the various features the
committees had put in operation for
the comfort and convenience of their
guests. And chiefly those plans for
the easy handling of the vast crowds
of men and women and young people
who would drop down upon them with
the suddenness of cloud of locusts

I have sometimes noted the alb

consequent disappointment which

Many of these old men are as help
less as children as they detrain in the
congested terminals, for regardless of

Now, what is the result? They,
too often become discouraged and
take early trains for home. At home,
they tell their neighbors, "it was a
mighty poor reunion" and for long
time they carry disappointment in
their hearts.
We know this is unjust to the COM
mittees. These committees have lab
ored long and hard on plans to con-
serve the comfort and convenience of
everybody. But we know that the
major part of the real veterans who
attend our reunions come from the
country or the smaller towns, and the
city-bred men who usually comprise
the committees cannot always foresee
the wants of these old friends from
the country.

1t was testified at the inquest
DR.. r. p. Mander, surgeon of the
prison, who examined Easement s
body, declared that there was no evi

suffered from insanity. The theory had
had been advanced by Sir Aeon Doyle
and others that Sir Rogers virulent
antiBritish plotting had been inspired
by mental alteration. The inquest was
held at 1880 O'Clock in the prison
with sixteen Jurors sitting. The first
witness was Gavin Duffy, counsel for
Easement. He was questioned by the
coroner mainly about Easements age
and state Of his health.
Death is instantaneous.
The governor of the prison testified
that the warrant for Easements exc
cution was handed to him on July 80.
He had had seen the prisoner every
day since his conviction. The hanging
took place at five minutes past nine
O'Clock. the prison governor said, death
being instantaneous. The prison Of
fetal was asked by Duffy If Roman
Catholic priest was present at the
execution. and whether Easement had
died in the Catholic faith. The gov
ernor answered yes" to both ques-
tions. The warden who had charge Of
Easement testified that there was no
delay in the execution, and that it was
carried out in the most satisfactory
manner. Similar testimony was given

The parrot cage hing on a nail in
the post Of the vine-colored porch. On
the top step of the porch was a large,
SOFT bright red pillow, known to all
the inmates of that house as the
particular property of Fido, the puppy.
Not far from the house was stable,
and in that stable the most delightful
place for pony that one could we'll
imagine.
The pony and the parrot and the
puppy were not happy. And they were
going to have meeting.
At half past 10 o'clock, when Frank,
the pony, was brought around from
the stable to wait for his little mas
ter. the parrot was to be in her cage,
and Fido was to be on his cushion,
and they were to decide what to do.
Which, you see, was little different
from great many meetings, whose
business it is to tell other people
what they ought to do.
"A good morning" ventured the
parrot politely. Mistress Poll and
Fido, it must be confessed, were not
ordinarily on the best of terms. Same
to YOU" responded the puppy, gruffly.
"Mr. Frank is late" Poll, in her de-
sire to be agreeable, here made a re-
mark that seemed to annoy Fido ex-
tremely.
Better late than never" quoth she,
sagely, turning her head to see if
Frank had left the stable

Fido in his earnest voice You fe-

"A stitch in time saves nine," inter

the way, was not to the point at all.

And, indeed, it seemed so. This

only very thoughtless one.
But that did not make it any easier
