The report was prevalent in business cir- cles yesterday that the Nonpareil had failed, and the rumor’ had many preposterous stories tacked onto it as it went the rounds, There Wi some color of corroboration given to the rumor by the fact thut no paper was issued yesterday morning, but this was in accord- ance with the ancient custom of that paper to observe Christmas in theold fashioned and country weekly style of skipping a number for each holiday. The Nonpareil made the announcement the day before that no paper would be issued on accountof Christmas, but still this did not seem to account satisfactor- ily for its non-appearance, The office was not open until late yesterday morning, and this, 00, gave rise to a report that the estab- lishment was shut up. Then there was still stronger coloring given to the story when there appeared on record in the county re- corder’s office two mortgages, one on the real estato and the other _on the presses and ma- terial, given by the Nonpareil to the Council Bluffs savings bank to ure the payment of anote for $11,750, given December 24 and due one day fromdate.

Armijo, at Al- buquerque, one of the wealthiest men in Mexico, says a St. Louis dispatch to the Chicago Times. Young Armijo is years old and has lived in St Eouis for the last four yeers, having come here to complete his education. His father was many times a millionaire and is reported to have been the richest man in Mexico. After the young man completed his studies he re- turned home, but did not remain long, coming back to St. Louis. It then be- gan to be noticed that Fanny Avmstrong, the eighteen -year-old daughter of his boarding house landlady, “and the young Mexican were on very good terms. The young woman is employ ul ina dry- goods store and is handsome and bril- liant. Armijo’s father died Saturday last, shooting himselfthrough the heart while suffering from softening of the brain.

Another link in the iron band is being welded by the construction of the Cauca railroad, for which Mr. James L.

The government makes over to him the sec- tion of fifteen miles already built, together with all the rolling stock, etc. Should the work be completed within the stipulated time of.: four years, the government guarantees a bonus of land for each month short of the time. It guarantces a payment of 5 per cent interest per aonum on an outlay of 38,000 American gold per kilometer, extending over a period of clighiaen Jears, Tho second. section, which will run from Coli to Mauizales, will be about two hundred and fifty miles ong. For this the government guarantees an interest of 41¢ per cent on an outluy of &8,000 per kilometer.
