There ‘was a fair house and the audience gave evi- dence of its approval by enthusiustic encores, About thirty members of the Aronson opera company avaiied themselves of the oppor- tanity to be present. A feature that was very much enjoyed by the audience, although not down on the programme, was the red-hot roasting of a “‘jay” in the gallery who at- tempted to guy one of the singers. He wus roasted to the quecu’s taste, and will un- doubtedly be very careful in picking out subjects for future horse play.

Dr. Crofts chose for hs text the words of Cnrist to his discibles at the conclusion of His address on the subject of prayer, us contained in Luke xi-13: “If ye then being evil know how to give good ®ifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Fatber give the holy spirit to them that ask Him.” Our hife is from the spirit of God. spirit of God is the breath of life. Its mani~ festations are seen evorywhere; in the twinkling stars, the blushing rose, the blossoming cheek,the beamingeye. It is hearda 1o the thunder’s roar, the sighig wind, the murmuriug brook, the song of bird, the melt. ing voice. 1t is felt in the patiering rain, the breath of summer, the grasp, the deed of Kkindness, the thrill of social joy. We realize its presence, without, within, every- where, at all times. By it we are, as Elinu says in Job, “The spirit of Goa hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.”” We need the spirit to help us understand and appreciate tho word of God. Perhops Ioughtto go vack of this proposition und declare that we need it to give us u hungering for the word, so much 5o that we would desire the word above all other things. e would have the bible mere than any other book. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. It translates us from the kingdom of dark- ness into the kingaom of light. Dr, Hodge suys, “1f aman born blind were suddenty restored to sight, sach a flood of knowledge and delight would flow in upon him through the organsof vision that he might well think thut all being consisted in seeing. So the new testament represents the chan e consequent on the opening of the eyes on the certainty, glory and excellence of divine things, and especially the glory of God re- voaled in the person of his son, as compra- hending almost everything which pertains to spiritual life, to understand the word we need the spirit's help. We need the spirit so we may bear its truits, The fruits of the spirit are love, v, poace, long-suffering, gentleness, good: faith, meekuess, temperance. No true tinn desires to be barren or unfruitful, is he is no Christian. Much less does he want to bear the fruits of sin. ‘The Holy Spirit unites us with Jesus, and that union is the secret of Christian activity, We want not only the fruits of grace and chavacter, but of lifo as well. Christ went about doinz good, and the Haly Spirit helps us to do like Him. The Holy Spirit creates within us the “well of living water.”” This is what Paul had, This is what ch Jobn Noewton from a slave-hunter to seeker, a liberator, It was he who when convicted, went right into the moral de- gradation of London, of which city Shelly said, “hell is a city much hike, London,” and there found souls blacker thian the skins of the l':lhlu“hul. but by the grace of God he chauged them wnd made thew white in the purity of heaven. On Sundays he preached to the rich baukers and titled ladies, and on weok day evenings ho would sit on a three- legged stool in his blue sailor jacket, and open up his rich experience and wise coun- sols to the poorest of the poor who came to him, “I'was a wild beast on the coast of Africa once,” he used to say, “but the Lord Jesus caught we and tamed me, and now people come to soe we as they would go to 100k at the llons in the tower.

It is casy to read, for instance,, that in the year 1886 the people of the civilized world sent almost 6,000,000,000 of letters, more than 1,000,000,000 of postal cards, nearly 5,000,000,000 of newspapers, and more than 100,000,000 merchandise packages, making in all nearly 12,00,000,000 of mail parcels. But who can possibly realizo the meaning of such figures? ‘Wae can easily follow our statistican, however, when he proceeds to show us what regions of the world muke the largest use of their mail facilities in vroportion to their population, America, with a v much smaller population than the continont of Ku- rope, sends more than half as many mail packages as the whole of urope. The figures are littie upward of 7,000,- 000,000 for Kurope and ulmost 4,000,000, 000 for America. Asia sends a comparatively small number, and Africa a much smaller number still—less than one mail pack- age in a year to every seven inhabitants of the continent. ’ How great a contrast 1s presented by the case of Australia, where twenty3 four letters, cards, papers and parcels are sent out on an average Lo every in- habitant annually! Australia, indeed, makes the largest use of its mail facili- ties of any continent of the globe. To circulate the world’s mail matter no fewer than 500,000 persous are em- ployed, and this matter is distributed from more than 150,000 postofices, of which about one-third are iu the United States.

This is & movement to 1nsure independ- ent action as the orange-growers of Florida, and to change the trade from the commission system of selling to the auction system, which has been success- fully followed in the foreign orange trade. The objective point of the Flor- ida Orange-Growers’ union is to control the supply and concentrate the sale in the markets of Now York City and Chi- cago. The members of the ovgani- zation are encouraged to believe that they can effect this revolution and theraby foree a compatition among buy~ ers, instend “of thaving a competition among sellers, such us exists under the commission systom, Concerming this matter J.

HE NEVER MISSES HIS MAN, Gentlemanly ayd Unassuming but There are 1 wenty-five Notches on His Gun. Mt Connting Indians —Exciting Experiences, Accurate With His Gun, One of the most important, yet most unassuming, men at tho fight between Jonn L. Sollivan and Jake Kilrain, was Bat Masterson, of Denver, a man with a wonderful record, He is known and appreciated all over the west, and is considered almost ns much an attraction as Pike’s Peak or the Garden of the Gods, writes a Denver correspondent of the Now York World. Various news- papers declare that Masterson headed a gang of “killers" who went to the fight determined to havo the battle de- cided in fuvor of Kilrain at all hazzards. This was partly vight and partiy wrong. The gang of “killers® wero all there sure enough, but the instructions and determination were simply to *‘cover ull over blood” any person who should at- tempt to modb the light in favor of the big man from Boston. Two months be- fore the date set for the fight, arrange- made which resultod in Masterson and a few of his friends to New Orle; in special Pullman buffet car. They ed two days before the big fight, and from the minute Kilrain arrived in the Crescent City until the time he loft ita badly de- feated man, the quiet, gentlemanly Masterson was nlways at hisside, and at- traeted almost as much attention as did Kilrain, The vremainder of the party consisted of Luke Short, Bud Maag, Jack Murphy, Joe Copeland and Mike Ryan, each with a personal history that would shine red on the bloodi of frontier stories, and with nerve enough to do battle with all the supporters of Sullivan who were gathered at Rich- burg on that great day. But the wheel of fortune turned around and Kilrain was whipped without the interference of outsiders, and Mr. Masterson and his friends went back to their special pal- ace car, which was loaded down with delicacies, both edible and potablo and quietly stole back to their respe tive homes. M. Masterson paid sov- eral hundred dollars to the railroad compnny out of his own pocket, and firmly dcelined to take as much yas a cent from the earnings of Kilrain, This was characteristic of the man. Mastevson is known throughout the “square,” and although -five years old, has sent twenty-five men to theiv long sleep with their boots on, not counting the many Indians that have Btopy broathing without taking the trouble to remove their moceasins. Of all these victims not one was killed outside of a fair fight- at least, frontiersmen who have known Masterson ull his life say so. Nearly all these deeds of blood have been com- mitted while defending the weak orup- holding the law The proper name of this frontier hero is Willianm Barclay Masterson. He was born in the quiet little village of Mid- dleport, IlL., and at twenty years of age was renowned throughout the west as a daring Indian fighter and successful buffalo hunter. Wh le all the good lit- tle lads of Middieport were learning to “read, write and figger,”” Bat was out in the woods practicing all tho day long with an old Colt’s revolver, which he carries and uses to this day. Asare- sult he never went to schoola day in his life, but despite this ho can handle the French and Mexicau languages fluently and was at one time the owner and od- itor of a Colorado newspuper. ~ Besides having been a butfalo hunterand Indian scout, Masterson was sheriff of Ford county, Kansas, with headquarters at Dodge City, whan that place was at its bloodiest; marshal of half a dozen fron- tier towns and owner of innumerable gambling houses. Ho has won and lost a dozen fortunes plaving cards, and until recently has been the owner and manager of a variety theaterin Denver, and is the head of a cultured and re- spected family It was in just as Masterson was turning into his fifteenth year, that he determined to become o buffalo hunter. One bright morning early in the winter ne announced his intention to the fam- 1ly, and the old gontloman, after vainly trying to verbally persuade the yout! 10 desist, leaped upon his adventurous heir with a tgunk strap and gave him a right husky body beating. Five weeks later the boy rode into Fort Dodge on the old man’s best hovse, armed to the teeth and rendy to take his part in the chase for buffulo hides. In less than six months _the most exp rienced hunter on the plains was ready and anxious to go into n:\rtnernhi\) with this beardless boy with the cool, blue eye and quict smile, who could outride, outshoot and outfight the hardiest and most skillful of their band. There was plenty of money made in hunting the plain monarchs of those days, ns o raw hide was worth #3, and three men could easily take fifty ina day. In chasing the buffalo the hunters scoured the ter- ritory comprising the Panhandle of Texas, the “Staked Plains” (Llano Estacado) and the Indian territory. They: got to know every path in this vast arvea, and this knowledge is what made Masterson so valuable to the gov- ernment as an Indian scout a few years later. i It was during one.of these trips after buffalo that the daring of the youthful Masterson became widely known, He waus the decided”tero of the greatest Indian fight knowf fo western history, and just previouso'it killed his firs man. On the night of Juno 12,1874, Masterson and his {wo partners rode into the settlemeut of Adobe Walls, a trading post situated on the Canadian viver in Texus. The settlement con- sisted of two stores, a saloon and a blacksmith shop. After supper a poker game was got up,/and Bat, who was pas- sionately fond urghwhliuz. took a hand, During the progress.of the game one of the players tootc—occasion to call the youngest pliyer in the party a liar, and at the sawme time pulled his gun, It was the last actof his ca- reer, for before he could pull the trig- ger, Bat had out the old Colt’s revolver he had learned to shoot with at home, and the quarrelsome gambler was dead, shot through the right eye. The bodly was buried in less than half an hour, and the game went on, When the lights were all put out iu the settlement that night there were just twenty-one hardy buffalo hunters Wrapped in their blankets aud sloeping soundly. 1 of them inelading Mas- terson, were in the saloon. This was an adobe building, one story high, witk’ an immense cottonwood beam rununing clear the length of the room from one gable w another, About 3 o’clock the morning the beam broke with a noise like a canuon, and the sleepers all rushed out into the air. The rotton beam had saved the life of every man . yoaca { P THE WAY TO Manufactarers® General Agents for Full Linc of Farm Wagons, Spiing Wagon CARRIAGES, ETC, G nis Wanted In Every Town, Correspon lence Solicited, HOUSE IN THE WORLD THR BHEST COAT, We want our customers to be fully satisfled, and we guarantee that they will bo if they use our splohdid Peerless Soft Coal, in nut and lump.

SAPP & KNO in tho settlement, for jusy about d break,when the beam had been propped up securely, down from the adjoining hills swooped a band of 500 Indians. They were composed of Cheyennes, Arapahoes, Comanches and Kiowas, the most blood-thirsty combination ever on the war path. They were the fighters of their respective tribes, and as they dashed straight for the ‘‘dobys” the huntoers thought their time had come. However, the doors were barred and the Indians were met with a shower of bullots that greatly surprised them, for they expected to tind tho hunters ~ asleep. The great battlo of the Adobe Walls then hegan in earnest and did not cease for fiftecn days. Before it ended Masterson had taken advantage of un opportunity to prove himself the most daring man in the west and gain a reputation that i today respected throughout the frontior ntry. The [ndians were led by a gigantic desperate negro, who had de- serted from the United States army. He was a bugler, and with a brass trumpet blew the rallies and charges that guided the Indians in their attacks, They followed him wherever he went, | and he went pretty nearly wherever he pleased. After the men had heen fighting for about thirteen days matters bhegan to got serious, Wells were dug inside the buildings to get a supply of water and the end of the provisions could be seen. Lvery day the Indians, headed b big negro. seemed to grow more dent and fight harder. Tt w: that the only to win the battie was to kill the cunning negro, but he would not be killed. At last the quiet Bat showed the kind of stuff he was made of by rushing from the saloon one day just as the Indians were about to depart after an attack, and yelling at the top of his voice. This attracted attention and the entire band madearush at him. When they got close enough, the old Colt’s revoiver of his childhood spoke out and the negro rolled off his horse, shot through the head, The death of tho leader seemed to dismay the gang, and they retired into the hills,and five days later were driven into the Cheyenne agency,after having lost seventy of their number. The hunters lost three of their number—the two Saddler boys and Billy Tyler. These were wrapped in blankets and buried in one grave, in the corner of the old saloon. Tho siego was actually lifted on July 12, and thirty days later General Nelson:A. Miles sent for tho intrepid boy and mude him second in command of a body of i n government scouts. A week or two later word came to headquarters that the Indians had at- tacked n wagon train on the line of the Kansas Pacific railroad, and had mur- der all in the train except four sis- ters named Germaine, These unfortu- nates, who were brought up in luxur in the cast, were carried away ca tives. Their ages wero eighteen, six- teen, five and three years respectively. Bat headed a party that went out to rescuo the sisters, One day while hunt- ing for antelope with whigh to supply the larder, the young man saw an In- dian quite a distance away acting in a suspicious manner. He followed and found the two younger Germaine sis- and oheaper than ‘Wyoming y on tho ma ket. TTS, Fuel Merchants, "~ PROFESSION H. BIRKINBINE N.

One night early in the spring of 1877 Toxus cowboys rode into nd boldly announced that vere wolves, and they had come into town -for the express pur howling. They drank bad wh i showed their utter disregard for law by riding like wild devils through the streets and shooting into houses and at any person they saw. After awhile they grew tired of this sport, drew up in front of a dance house. dismounted and prepared 10 enter and make mer- vier. Marshal Masterson, the brother of Bat, who at that time had three or four notches on his gun stock, re- quested the turbulent cow punchers to disarm themselves before cutering the daunce house. He told them it was the law. They killed him on the spot. Bat was standing near, and again the ancient Colt’s sprung out and began work. Before the six cowboys could get under shelter they were killed, and from that minute quiet Bat Master- son was the cowboys” bitterest enemy. In manner Masterson isa Chester- field, and under no circumstance cun he be induced to speak.of his career. is a connoisseur in matters of dress, and a stranger would be more apt to take the handsome Masterson for a ve- fined traveler than for a frontiersman with a secord. Besides being the swiftest and surest pistol shot in the west, Bat can hold his own with any 150-pound fighter iu a fistic encounter. He is versed in the laws in the ring side, and has trained dozens of prize fighters for encountors. Is there much wonder Kilrain chose such a man for his timekeeper at Richburg? Sl o The Talking Mynah. The parrot is generaily supposed to have the monopoly of the power of talk- g among birds, but as a matter of fact, the parrot is decidedly infevior to the mynah, says the Pall Mall Gazotte. Thers are always examples of these birds in the insect house at the Zoo, and they repeat various phrases with grout elearance of utterance, Curiously enough the hen has a grufi voice, while the cock speaks in a clear, high tone, like that of a child. The mynahs can be casily provoked into showing off their power of speech, and will greot the visitor with *‘Good morning” in response to his saluta- tions, The mynah 15 a kind of star- ling, und this lattor bird is well known for its imitative powers. Some years ago an account was published of a “talking canary,” which could articu- late quite plainly and would repeat a ters sleeping on a raw buffalo hide in a ravine, guarded by three Indians. The main body of Indians had gone on a pil- laging expedition, and were far awry at the time. The Indians showed fight, but again the old Colt’s revolyer of childhood days barked with rapidity, and that night Bat roda into camp with the two younger Germaing sisters, the heads of three Indians and an antelope. The ghastly trophies he threw at the feet of his com- rades and added another laurel to his reckless reputation, Eygry effort was made to rescue the other Germaine girls, but it was only after hard fighting that the band of scouts succeeded in driving the bloodthirsty redmen into the Cheyenne agency the following spring. They thea gave up the cap- tives to the scouts. About five months later the two girls gave birth to half- breod children, and to this day they are tne charges of the government. A cer- tain amount is taken every vear from the Cheyenne annuities and given to tho sisters. The government decided to send some of the ringleaders to the Dry Tortugas, the government prison. Bat was detailed to take them, On the way to prison old “Gray Beard,” a Cheyenne chief, attempted to escape, and again the old Colt’s revolver pro- nounced a death sentence, and with the same voice executed it. Upon his return to Texas. Masterson took actively to gambling. He settled down at Canwonement, now known as Fort Elliott. Here his active career of killing white men began. Oue night he had some words with Sergeant King, of the ourth United States cavalry, dur- ing the progress of a poker gamo, Two hours later King hid himself outside of the *'doby, " and when Masterson stepped out the soldier shot him through the abdomen, It was hig last shot, how- ever, for with lightning speed and before he feill 1o the ground, Masterson had pulled the same old Colt’s and Sergeant King was a corpse. Bat got better in twenty days, und as a result of the quarrel was com- pelled to kill three other soldiers in self-defeuse. They attacked him ina body. About this time Bat received word that his brother had been ap- pointed Marshal of Dodge City, Kan., at that time the most notorious of all the froutier towns, and the buffalo hunter lost no time in getting there. I'ne residents of the county welcomed him with open arms,for it was positively sories of phrases. SPECIAL NOTICES. COUNCIL BLUFFS. FOR SALE AND R:INT.
