Not takiug to "book larnin" George found him self a captive of the Apaches when he was 15, and there remained until 19, husband of a young squaw. He came prominently before the public clear less quarter of an inch from the ends "Now I'll show you something else," said George.. Takiug to chairs, be called one mm weighing 180 pounds and another weigh:i:f. 1G5 pounds, and asked them to b seated. Standing betweeu the chair George took off his hat, aud dividing when, says the Call, he joined the Lis lon& bair 80 tbat about half of ifc Cody and Carver wild west show, better known as "Buffalo BillV hhow, aud after touring the United States went to Enlaud with it. In Germany "BuiTalo Bill" and Dr. Car ver quarreled and they dividbd the show. Gaorge went with "Buffalo Bill." The rival shows fought foi pat ronage in the various European town until the bitterness of the quar rel extended to the cowboys them selves, and in Hamburg, Germany, the shows pitched their tents direct ly opposite each other on the same street. The cowboys knew theie was going to, bo wnr, aud they filled their revolvers and cartridge belts with real, sure enough powder and ball instead of the blank cartridges used in the performance. One afternoon Apache George stepped from the tent into the street just as one of Carver's cowboys came out of the tent across the street Compliments that wouldn't look well in print were exchanged, and a sec ond later the men were shooting at back to the Plaina aad "ettling down each other. ' Cowboys of to day are not what Ai.nther soi.d ami Avorr cnnbnv they were when I was one of them, and Indian belonging to both shows but the Plains are hung on either shoulder, he stooped and told the men to take hold of his hair with both hands and hold as they would to a rope. The men obeyed, when "Apashe George straightened up lifting both men clear of the chairs There they swung, holding on to his hair for a second or two, when astonishment made them loosen their grip and drop their feet on the ground. "1 haven't got an iron jaw," laugh ed George, "but I'll pull against anv man in this town with my heir for any amount of money." As a rifle and pistol shot Apache George does not claim any special merit, but with the riata, lasso, lanet or whip he defies all comers, and is truly a wonder. He is a handsome tellow. and despite the wild life he has led, very much of a gentleman He neither drinks or chews tobacco, and to his abstemious habits he at tributes his splendid health "But I'm getting old." said Apache George, "and I'm thinking of going were on the streets fighting like de mons. The police of the quiet Ger man town were scared to death, aud in the midst of the melee a compauy the same, and, after all, I would rather live on the great prairies than in the Palace ho tel. Yes. I think 111 go back," anc the speaker roptd astray horse that of dragoons belonging to the Ger- bad got out of a coral near b' and mau army charcred down the street and stopped the fight. Apache George was thought to be fatally woundetl, having been shot iu the groiu, and fourteen others were also badly hurt, several fatally. The melee broke up both shows, and as soon as the men were able to leave the hospital they returned to the United States. Apache George at once struck out for the plains, and ever since has worked off and on in wild west shows and on the prairies. "I walked into San Francisco, coming clear across the Mojava des ere on ioor, ana i was ousted wneu I got here," said George, yesterday. 'But so long as I have fifty feet of rope I'll make a living," he added, and then offered to show the report er some of his feats of skill. laking a rope ana putting a ruu niug noose at one end. Apache George aeked the reporter to go down the street and walk toward him. He first caught the reporter's left foot with the rope as he went to make a step, throwing the rope with was kickiner up its heels. Then he sighed aud coiled up his rope. DEACON BROS. & CO.

May 3, but we are fully prepared to meet any emergency which may Two Immigrants Stricken With the Plague at Halifax. C. Star. The Associated Press dispatches announce tni3 morning that two cases of genuine Asiatic cholera have developed among a shipload of immigrants landed a few days ago at Halifax, Nova Scotia. The immi grants were from Hamburg and there were 470 of them bound for Cleveland, Chicago, Toledo and In dianapolis. Before the discovery of the plague many had been allowed to proceed on their journey west ward aud some of these had tickets for Chicago. One of the two cholera suspects detained in the Halifax hospital is Carl Erickson, from Stainwang, Norway, ticketed to Chi cago. The steamer which brought over the immigrants was . one of the dis reputable "tramp" boaU which pay little or no atteutiou to government regulations. The responsible steamship lines a dispatch from Washington says, are woikiuir ia full accord with the treasury department. Dr. Glavis, the Washington representative of these lines, 6ays that the Hamburg packet line has discontinued laud ings at Halifax, because the quaran tine regulations at that point are lax. He said it was a matter of self preservation for the reputable com panies to see that no cholera sus pects were brought to this country. arise during the intervening time. Blessed be the Country Editor Walter Williams In Columbia IleraU. The country editor is most bless ed because of the opportunities for usefullness that come to him. He liyes always close to his readers. His paper is a welcome viator iu every home. At times when even the phy sician and minister may not come in the country paper enters. It moulds the thoughts and lives of young and old. It preaches to a" larger congregation than all the clergymen in the town. It argues oftener and more convincingly than all tne lawyers. Its words cause wounds that no surgeon's skill may heal. When the editor uses these magnificent opportunities rightly. is fearless, conscientious, true, ex eludes from his columns all that may vitiate and deDase, and admits only that which helps and elevates. he is worthy ot much honor.

Captain Atkison says that in conver sation with Captain Spurning of the ship DunTaig, which left Sin Fran cisco for Liverpool about four months ago, Spurning told him of a remarkable experience.
