Life in a New Town. considerable trade with St. Joseph has already been established. One of the best known traveling men of ‘this city has recently spent some | time in the town, and the following ‘letter was received by his firm: | Dalias is the end of the Denver & | Rio Grande Ouray extension now | building, and is simply a holy terror. | To-day is Sunday. A minister bap- pened along and divine services were held in the hotel dining room, which is next door to an immense saloon, where faro and poker games were running in full blast, while God's servant was whooping up the “wrath to come.” Before the hat was pass ed around, the good work was inter- rupted by the congregation leaving suddenly. A gambler had killed a man in the saloon. The good parson made a howl for not receiving a do- nation, but the boys finally agreed to pay him $10 to preach the funeral sermon of the deceased. The killing occurred at 2 o'clock p. m., and the funeral was to be at 4 p. m. But it was finally decided to postpone the funeral until 5 p. m., when they would plant the gambler also, who was to be hung at 4:30. Everything on the programme was carried out. The gambler had a raffle for all his worldly possessions. Acowboy wou them and the gambler sent all his money, $1,600, to his mother in Ili nois, wrote her a letter and went out and was the star actor in the hang- ing. The minister of the gospel then said he would not intercede with the Almighty for two souls for the same compensation as agreed upon for one, and $20. was demand- ed. The law abiding citizens were indignant, and the holy financier was given fifteen minutes in which to change his voting precinct. He moved in ten minutes, and the dog fennel was laid over the two depart- ed souls, minus the much wished ceremonies. _ Only two hours has passed since the exciting chapter in this city’s history was enacted, and the music is sounding merrily in the ‘| historic saloon, coin is clinking on the green cloth, and the cowboy, the lucky winner in the matinee, is full of “pizen” and is hunting fora victim to practice on with his little gun, Colorado is progressive.—St. Joseph Gazette. ’ Deafness Can’t Bc Cured by local application, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way tocure deafness, and that is by constitutional reimedies. Deatness is caused by an inflamed cone dition of the mucus lining ot the Eusta- chian Tube. When this tube gets in- flamed, you have a rumbling sound or impertect hearing, and when it is entire- ly closed deafness is the result, and un- less the ‘inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con- Sa hearing will be destroyed forever; cases our of ten are caused by ca- tarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucns surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Haire Ca- tarhh Cure, Send for circulars tree. F. J. Cntyngy & Co., Toledo, O.

Dallas, Colorado is a new town on | If Kansas or any other western the Denver & Rio Grande road, and | state possessed the advantages of Missouri, it would be heralded to every part of the globe. Give any of them the facilities for transpor- tation by water or rail, the mildness | of climate, fertility of soil, beauty of landscape, mineral wealth, variety of agricultural products, and the edu- cational advantages, and it would be kept before the world by every known method of advertising. The state of Missouriis larger than Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Mass- chusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. The area of Missouri is 900 square miles, more than all the above named, and we have a population of 2,168,804 and centrally located in the heart of the nation. The report for 1886 was, wheat, 22,400,000; corn 130,000,000; cattle 4,649,642. The state abounds in wonderful resources of coal, lead and iron, sufficient for the entire Union for all time and inexhaustable for ages. Missouri has her fourth place in the Union, and will hold it | unimpaired, and increase in import- ance as the years come and go. For| utility of soil and climate Missouri is not surpassed by any state in the Union.—Mexico Intelligencer. Give Them a Charce! That isto say your lungs.

The new Florida law requiring the railway companies to provide separate coaches for the colored peo- ple is very burdensome to some of the roads. The Louisvilleand Nash- ville represents to the railroad com- missioners that if required to comply with it, the companies will be com- pelled to haul a third coach very frequently without passengers, or else assign one of the two coaches to the colored passengers and the other to the whites, which will necessarily forbid smoking upon the train. It is, therefore, requested that they be allowed to run a partitioned coach, one-half of which will be exclusively for the colored passengers. New York, Oct. 11.—Judge Thom- as C.

The recent experiments with pe- troleum as fuel made by the Pennsvl- venia Railroad Company are signifi- cant in more waysthan one. The first thought that will sugges* itself is why petroleum has not long ago supplanted coal as fuel. The Russian railroads have used petroleum siuce 1884, and 300 steamboats plying on the Caspian and in the Volga river are using the same fuel. Swedish railways use Rus- sian oil, and in Eastern Europe oil has taken the place of coal on thousands of miles of railway and in hundreds of factories. In this country the ferry Steamers of the Central Pacific rail- road at San Francisco use oil in their furnaces, and that is as far as we have gone. When the advantages of oil over coal are considered, this backwardness is surprising. It has been demon- strated that one thousand tons of oil will do the work of two thousand tons of coal, and be stored in three-fifths of the space. In cost, oil as a fuel com- pares to coal as six to ten. Here is a double saving on the face, but a much greater saving in reality. Pennsyl- vania is the home of petroleum and the cost of using must be less than in any other quarter of the world. The, unexampled railroad facilities of the : United States will greatly cheapen the ; cost of transportation and thus ma. | terially lessen the manufacturing ex- | penses of the factories in which the oil will soon be used as fuel. From rail- road furnaces to other furnaces is an easy step. The most gratifying f-ature of this discovery is the fact that it utilizes a hitherto worthless product. It is not crude petroleum that is used but the | residuum left after refining, a refus: only of limited use to paraffi:e manu- facturers. Like the great discovery of the ex raction of analine from cotl tar this is a distinct gain and one not eas - ly to be estimated. It will cheapen coal to the general consumer and like- wise cheapen the cost of «ll manufact- ured articles. In th» eid there is no doubt that this residuum will in time supplant coai as a fuel even for domes- tic purposes. At present, however, i: is enough to record tha! coal as a rail- road fuel is doomed. The Pennsylva- nia system will use the residuum and all roads will soon follow.— Philadelphia Call. MARVELOUS ESCAPE. A Most Remarkable Incident Connected With the Opera Com'que Fire. One of the most singular incidents connected with the burning of the Opera Comique was the wonderfal escape from death of one of the chorus- singers. On the first alarm he had rushed up stairs to his dressing-room on the fourth floor to save his small possessions, and on arriving there, overcome with heat and smoke, he had fallen upon the floor.inaswoon. There he lay in astate of utter insensibility for over two hours. His dressing-room was fortunately situated in an angle of the building which the flames did not reach, the state of syncope in which he was suspended respiration, and so, unharmed by the’fire, or by the poison- ous smoke and gases evolved from the burning scenery, he remained there in safety while death and destruction were rioting around him. It was long past eleven o’clock when he came to his senses and realized the horror and danger of his position. He made his escape’ by a staircase leading to the Rue de Marivaux, and on fi ‘ding him- self in safety, he cnce more became unconscious and was taken to a pharmacy, from whence he was trans- ferred to a hospital. -A few days ago he was discharged cured, after suffer- ing severely from his long sojourn in the pestilential atmosphere of the burning building. He can now boast of being the only person who remained for two hours in the Opera Comique after the fire broke out, and who then escaped nutonly alive, but compara- tively unhurt.—Paris Letier.

It not only restores wasted tissves but gives strength and increases the ap- petite. I am glad to use such a reliable article.” Du. Charles C. Garrett, Gal- vert, Texas, says: “I have used your Emulsion tor over a year, and have de- rived much benefit from it in the maras- mus of children, being tolerated by the stomach when all other medicaments were rejected. 45-1m. Use Short Pen-Holders. “A man can not write rapidly or gracefully with a long-handled pen,” so said one of the most rapid penmen in this city to a reporter. *The reason 1s that in describing the curves of the various letters the long handle niust describe similar curves, and the longer the handle the more sweeping the curves. In writing, the thumb and forefinger act as a fulerum. The pen- handle is the lever. Now, it stands to reason that the longer the lever the slower will be its motions. That is a law of natural philosophy, and yet many men will persist in using long pen-handles. The proper length for 2 pen-handle is about an inch longer than .the index finger.’—N. F.
