A LUCKY PAIOIEIL
Borne men are born lucky. The recent flood
in Texas bring ono of this class prominently
to the front One farmer whoso land was
almost submerged found himself when tho
titer subsided tho possessor of a raft of wood
early a mile long by a quarter wide, which
drifted on and remained. Nor was the wood
all he got. There wero 8,000 cedar roils,
tsongh lumber to build a house, bedsteads,
wuhtuks, chicken-coops, several kogs of
whisky, and flasks of whisky without end.
THE DAUTIIOI.DI STATUE.
Now that Minister Murton has accepted on
behalf of tho United States tho ISartholdi
statne, what are we going to do with it? It is
s regular elephant on our hands. The people
isn't come down with tho "dust" to fix up a
place to put it, and now tho statuo is ours it
his got to be tuken caru ef. It would seem
that tho money for tho foundation and enough
for a posey garden around it aught to have
been subscribed within sixty days after notifi
eation. A WHITE RAINIIOW IN TUB HI Kit It AS.
In the midst of a shower of mingled hail and
nln, about 9:15 yesterday morning, thcro was
liiible for a minuto or two a segment of a
rainbow that lacked tho nsual prismatio colors.
It wis a belt of pure white, circling across the
miity curtain of falling pellets of snow and
nindrops. In France, some months ago, the
pipers had much to say about a whito rainbow
in in that country. It was spoken of aa a
thing unprecedented. Twice within the past
twelve months the phenomenon has been visi
ble from Virginia City. In neither case, how
rer, was the bow a complete semi-circle.

Asiitic cholera, when it once enters a coun

Worse of a few days all doubts are removed,

occasion in India the epidemio struck a train
of several hundred passengers, and in a few

Hit devouring pestilence.

to the Bible and utterly barbarous. If tho

A IlATTI.i: WITH INDIANS.
Wilson, Cartcet A Johnson's cattle ranch, in
tho western part of Laplata county, near the
Utah lino, was attacked by Uto Indians July 3.
Chus. Cook and Adolph Lusk, employes of the
cattlo compauv, wero badly wounded. Fivo
Indians were killed mid a number wounded. The
bites had eleven horses killed and 100 stolen.
The cowboys wero driven off their camp, their
outfits burned, and provisions carried away by
tho Indians. Tho two Wilson boys, 8 and 1q
years old, rodo tweiity-nino hours without food
or rest, and arrived at Duraugo last night in
an exhausted condition. Tho Utes bavo for
some time been causing troublu to tho cattlo
men, killing cattlo and stealing hones. Ono
of tho Wilson men found several of tho tatter's
horses in possession of the Indians, and under
took to secure tho same. An Indian attacked
him with a knife and was killed. This precip
itated tho fight. Seventeen thousand cattlo
are left at the mercy of the Indians. Col. Hal,
commandant at Ft. Lewis, has dispatched a
company of cavalry to diivo the Indians back
to tho reservation. The Indians will probably
reach the reservation well supplied with
horses and cattle beforo tho soldiers get in
reach of them.
SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN FAILURES
In tho six months ended Juno 30 tho liabili
ties of failed firms in tho United Mates
amounted to 124,3'Jl,2H2, against 100,1X9,031
in 1883, and 150,680,920 in 1882, in tho corre
sponding period. The average, therefore, has
moro than doubled. The Southern States,
howovor, present a relatively cheerful contrast
to this rcmarkablo record. Tho comparison is
of sufficient interest to date in detail, tho fol

The liabilities on failures in tho South woro
63 per cent greater than in 1883, and only 6
por cent greator than in 1882. The failures
in othor sections of tho country, ascertained
by deducting Southern failnroi from the
grand aggregate, show an iticroaso of 92 por
cent, as compared with 1383, and about 210
per cent, as compared with 1882. In 1884 the
Southern failures show an aggregate of liabili
ties of 915,245,785, and those of other sections
9109,145,497, tho proportion of the former to
the latter being 14 por cent. In 1833 Southern
liabilities were 99,909,181, and those elsewhere
950,279,853, the proportion being 18 per cent,

Murv Cecelia Itocers, a beautiful cirl of
seventeen yeara, the only daughter of a
mother in her dotage, was employed in
Anderson's family. Bubseqiieiitly slio
kept a cigar store in the rear of Ander
son's ollice. One Sunday morning she
left home, telling her mother that elio
would Bpend tlio day with her aunt at
Weehnwkeu. l'ayno, lier lover, to
whom kIio was betrothed, was to call
for her at nit;lit, but uh it rained ho
clioso to let her remain nt lier aunt's

so tightly across lier throat that it wnH
lnilM-dded 111 tho flesh. Iho lioily was
taken cliurRO of by one Crouimelin, and
hastily buried, in spito of the rcinon-
striinees of the mother. The newspapers
cast so much suspicion on Cronimolin,
I'avno and a vouhk nnvnl olhcer that
the body was exhumed for further evi
dence. Several arrests followed, but 110
conviction. The mystery has ever since
remained a mystery.
Eduar A. Poo worked the trageity

Dot no clew could over lie found of the
