A little over two years ago this insti- ution was started under the care of Rov. \V. S. Hampton , n succoasful educator rom Illinois , nnd it is not often that a man so well fills his place , or is so well adapted to his work. This institution was planted well toward the front , far n advance of anything of n kindred na- uro. The pupils were gathered , aorao of thorn from the sod houses and dug-ouU f the pioneers , and they had many of thorn who suffered for lack of worldly ad- nntagca ; but they wont to work with a will , and it ta easy now to note their pro- ; rcas. They arc making an advance all long the line in rhetoric , in oratory and ,11 , the studies taught hero. Few men mvo a bettor faculty to draw out the [ oed than Mr. Hampton. Few ; men have uch a hold on the young. It is a great jhing to bo like IJr. Arnold , of Ilugby and Mark Hopkins , of Williams , but Mr. Hampton is of that stamp. People at the east arc little aware of the ad- antagcs possessed by some of our western own. Many a family with consumptive- nint , which would prevent study could hid hero in this glorious climate health , which they would seek in vain elsewhere , nnd not only this , but a growing town , leasant and intelligent pooplo. T1IK REVIVAL. A series of meetings has recently boon lold hero , which have mot with encour aging results. There were some thirty- ivo hopeful conversions , and these largo- y among the students. There is onp ad vantage , a first-class denominational chool hasj ever a state instututiou , with ta mixture of orthodox and broad gauge nlluonces. The former gives a religious .raining . , and where the foundation is loop and broad the young man , going lut from such surroundings , has an ad- antago ever ono with principles unsot- led ; who goes through life in n mazp of mcortainty , without foundation or faith. There will always bo found those who irofor a creed to agnosticism. THE HOOKIES IN THE VALLEV. Going south of Franklin about four miles ono is astonished to find a huge mass of the Rocky Mountains planted HRh on the prairies. They arc igneous rock , from the great western system , , hroo hundred miles from homo. There s enough of them to build a city. How did they got there ? The people think hey were heaved up from beneath. This could not bo so ; for it would ba at least ! ,000 foot down to the kindred formation mnoaih , and if tliojr had beau boavodup mincnso masses of slate , shale , and lima ock , would have boon heaved up also. Jut these blocks rest on the top , and on ho west side of the hills , on the top of ho magnosialimo | , thojlatost of the water ock formations. They were brought in a comparatively ecout period during the glacial era , and jot as ono stands on the ground and looks over the mass , ho will doubt the glacial action. A glacier with such a mass of rock would nave plowed a furrow 20 foot loop through the mud oven if the ground md boon broken. But standing there , and looking ever ho whole , ono is impressed that it could only have boon done by a vast ice Cold or drift. You can BOO where the great ice ships with their loads of granite came Ipwn , and striking the west side of the lill , stuck there till the ice molted ; and .horo Ho the rock , and that mass seems a irophosy of the future groatnessof Frank lin. Aa a somewhat illiterate frontier minister once said , "Wo BOO the wisdom of providence in having his great rivers run by largo cities. " On the same ground , doubtless , providence provided excellent rcatorial for the growing town of Frank- in. Looking along the bluifc cm the south side of the river , I was astonished to find the Biuno kind of gravel as lies ilong o ° ast of the mountains. In n few loura' walk , as the relics of the great drift , I found the aamo precious itoncs all deposited on the sur face that wo find among the rookies. I picked upafinopiocoof chalcedony , a moss vpjnto , a tine specimen of jasper , n piece of finely agatizod wood , and hero was a key to Bomo Colorado mysteries , In Oolorado there has boon found an immense number of potrefactions. In some sections , whole forests have turned to stone. My son and myself split a stone chip from a stump that measured 42 feet m circumference. Some times wood will bo found well agatizod , some turned to jasper , and other specimens are opalizod , and the query comes , when did those changes toke place. Picking up an agatizcd chip from the drift on the jfto- Eublican blulFa wo say , tliaj process look > ng before the glacial era. The country around Franklin is the most charming of any in the state. Beautiful springs of pure clear water come coursing through the valleys ballad with trocH. Hero arc lands lorol as na ture could make , then graceful undula tions. Here are charming groves and tote to the south are wild gorges which would dp credit to a mountain country. In the distance and clearly soon from town is an eminence called Lookout mountain which Prof. Wilbur calls an extinct goyser. UVB STOCK. There has boon great improvement made in the line of herds and flocks. There is much winter feeding now and people are establishing creameries , which supply the mountains 'with oxcollonl butter. This change of base in formin ) : gives an oven harvest the year round wit does not have the fanner dependent on uncertain grain crops for hia success. Wo can but muko a comparison between a prairie and a mountain state. Colorado turns out twenty-seven millions of bul lion a year , but the wheat crop of Ne braska ia worth nearly tliat. The corn crop , worth much were , while the live stock , poultry , egge , beef and pork , will leave the mountain state no whoro. There la more of comfort and peace in a prairie land , cot the grasping , straining , overreaching , diou'pating lifo which nukes humanity shudder , and yet I in ten back to my homo in the elbow of , tvu mighty ranges , where grand old i'iko'a peak lifts ita white head in nged jrandour and the mountains are glow- ng in the light or nro Rombre in the shadows.

' TIIKIEA1 > KID. A. Cororncr's Jury Sit on Ills Itcinultin nnd itctiirn n Verdict. Many conflicting reports have boon published lately concerning the opera tions of the Kiobrara vigilantes , especial ly as to the fate of Kid Wade , the loader } f the horso-thiovcs recently captured nt Lomars , Iowa , The papers of Brown : ounty bring the particulars of the lynch ing of the Kid at Bossott , a station a dozen miles southeast of Ainsworth. On the morning of the Gth the captors of the Kid turned him over to the sheriff ) t Holt county at a place called Morris Bridge , fifteen miles southeast of Aim- worth. The sheriff employed two moil to help him him take his prisoner to D'Noijl and stopped that night at Martins' 'lot ' el in Bassott. About 12 o'clock in the night , a band of some dozen masked mon entered the room , with revolvers drawn , and ordered "All hands up I" In this po sition , Kid was roused up and marched off ; but , knowing full well the penalty he would soon pay lie begged pitopusly with his captors for mercy , promising to load n better lifo in future , using hia best powers of utterance to gain a respite from the inevitable and ignominious fate ho felt ho was fast ap proaching. The appeals were made to deaf oars. Ho was taken away , the masked party on leaving the hotel forbid ding anyone to follow thorn under penal ty of death. Next morning the body was found hanging' to the whistling post by the aide of the railroad track. i few miles outside of town.

Tno Scanlon AVIII Contest at Denver Develops Material tor a First- Clans Work of Fiction A Strange Story. ItaVEtt , Col.February 9. A case was decided hero in the district court to-day which contains more sensational points than the average work of fiction. The first portions of the story havn passed. The fast chapter was ended in the court to-day by the breaking of the will of James Scanlon , who two years ago deeded property worth $30OCO to the Catholic shurch in Denver. Scanlon's rightful heirs , a widow and two children , wrested the property from the church. The case lias boon on trial three days , and the facts brought out by the evidence are tn ? surprising. Thirty odd years ago James S-sanlon came to the United States from Ireland , bringing with him his wife , whom ho had married in county Donegal. They lived only a short time in Now York city. Their married lifo grow irksome to Scan- Ion , and ono day ho disappeared. Ho came west and identified himself with the early pioneers who located in Denver. He kept his history a secret , and his family never heard of him again. Ho prospered in Denver and grow rich. Two years ago ho was on his death-bed. Some time before ho had identified him self with the North Denver Catholic church , and when ho found himself dy ing , so the story goes , ho sent for Father O'llern to administer to his spiritual wanta. The priest knew of his worldly possessions , and , asked if his will was made , and to whom ho had given his property. Scanlon had not made his will , and then for the first time made it known that ho was n married man , and had a family living in the oast. The will was made , and , it is claimed , signed in the presence of two witnesses. Scanlon was so weak that ho could not sign his own name , and was only able to make his crots-mark by the priest holding the pen in Scanlon's fingers nnd drawing it acrois the paper. In the will Scanlon'a heirs wcro ig nored. The property which was not willed to Father O'Horn personally waa given to the church. The estate consist ed of land on the North side. Thia wont to the church ; $2,000 in bank was bo- quoathcd to Father O'flern. A few hours after this Scanlon , , lying on his lonely bed , breathed hia last. These f&cta were known at the time by a few , but never became known to the general pub lic. Surprise and indignation were mingled when Mrs. Cody , a kind hearted lady ol Denver , who had known Scanlon inti mately , interested herself , and realizing how the heirs of Scanlon had boon de frauded , determined to hunt thorn up and see that they got their just desserts. She know of Scanlon'a death-bed confes sion , and by diligent inquiry and detec tive work ascertained that Scanlon's son in Philadelphia had , years before , com mitted a henioua crime , that of murder ing lib mother , the wife that James Scan- Ion had deserted on coming to Colorado. It also came to her knowledge thatyounf Scanlon had suicided while in jai to prevent execution. Mrs , Cody won ! to Philadelphia and looked ever the records of the court , without finding the information she desired. From the coroner's ofllco Mr . Cody wont to the county jail , where aha learned that a man named Davidson had murdered his mother , and afterward , in June , 1882 , killed himself while awaiting Ills trial. No such name as Scanlon had been heard of by the prison ofllciala. Subsequent investigation , however , proved that Davidson's real name WAS John Scanlon , tnd ho WAS the son of James Scanlon , of Denver. The wife and two sons of the nurdoror and suicide were then discover ed without difliculty , and informed of , heir good fortune. After Scanlon de serted his wife she wont to1 Philadelphia nnd earned a living by pedding small wares , She waited several years for news of her truant husband , but finally concluded that ho was dead , and married a mnn named Davidson , who died about .on years ago. John , her son by Scanlon , took the inino of his stop-father. As ho grow up ' 10 began to drink heavily and formed bad associations , A few years ago ho married a young woman in his own sta tion in lifo , nnd the couple lived with his mother. In his drunken fits he frequent ly boat his aged mother , his wife , and liis two children. On the 4th day of May , 1882 , the older folks and children were living huddled together in a miser attic in of ably-furnished third-story ono the worst parts of the city. Young Scanlon had boon drinking heavily in the morning , and the neighbors had hoard him quarreling with his mother. When lie returned to the garret shortly before dark ho turned upon his mother and struck her in the f ( ice with his fist. The old woman picked up a , chair to defend liorsolf , but before she could use it Scan- Ion had snatched up a hatchet , nnd , rushing at her , ho bit her a terrible blow with the butt end on the top of the head. Bho fell to the floor insensible. Frenzied , Scanlon jumped on the prostrate form nnd literally beat the head lo a jolly. Ho was arrested by two of his neighbors. Ho was committed to await a trial for mur der. His suicide in his cell , which occurred on the afternoon of Monday , July 10 , 1882 , created the greatest sur prise among the prison officials. After laving first removed all this clothing , 10 hung himself by his red llanncl shirt 'rom the lower bar of his cell window. Mrs. Cody says that when she found the ill-treated wife of young Scanlon , and : old her tho. story , the woman would not believe it , and treated it as a hoax. Mrs. Scanlon was then living by her own work , and supporting her two boys , aged about D and 8 years. She was getting the paltry wages of $1.50 n week as a ser vant , and on this pittance was not only keeping herself from starving , but was doing her best to givohor boys a mother's good treatment. The youngest of these boys waa living with a family for his board alone , the mother being compelled to furnish his shoos and the rags ho had on his back. Mrs. Cody was moved by what she saw nnd was amply repaid for the labor and money she had expended in the poor woman's behalf. Mrs. .Cody advanced money to Mrs. Scanlon and returned to Denver , with the under standing that the wronged woman should como hero at or before the time of the trial. trial.Suit Suit was entered to break the will. Father O'Horn and the others who were bonofittod in the will contested tho'suit to the bitter end , having the best legal talent in the city to defend their cauao. The case was submitted to the jury , who were out only twenty minutes , when they brought in a verdict that the priest had obtained the making of the Scanlon will by fraud , and it was therefore void. Mrs. Scanlon has papers to show that she is the lawful heir , and there is now no doubt whatever that she will como into her rightful possession. Petroleum V. Nnsfoy , D. 11. Locke , Petroleum V.

A LONG SILENCE. Husband ami 'Wife Pass Twenty-live Years Without Speaking tel l nch Other. OAKTON.O.February 11. An event of considerable importance has occurred in a little _ farm house a few miles from this city within a few days , Mrs. Dowees spoke to her husband. This is what she said : "William , I believe I am dyinj , ' . " However , she did not die , and she is now nearly well again. But the fact that she spoke at all to her husband has greatly excited these who nro acquainted witli the old couple. They are past threescore. This is the first time either lias spoken to the other for nearly a quar ter of n century , though each has spoken to other persons daily all the while. Nearly twenty-five years ago Mrs. Dowees desired her husband ts do n tri lling thing which ho regarded as either impossible orunwisoand ho refused. She , becoming petulant with disappointment , exclaimed : "If you don't I'll ' novorv speak to you again as long as I live. " "I not only will not do it , " lip said , aroused to anger , "but I will not speak to you until you speak first to mo. " The issue thus joined lasted longer than either imagined it would. Until the recent night spoken of neither Mr. nor Mrs. Dowoos over uttered a word to the other. The quarrel was soon ever , and the best of fooling was resumed be tween them. They have Itred together over since , contented and harmonious , the only cloud upon their happiness being their silence toward each other. But oven that lias had ita advantages. WhenMr. Dowooa wanted to say anything to hia wife he would say , for example , to ono of the children : "Jennie , tell your mother I wish aho would sew another button on my overalls. " Or the mother would say ; "John , tell your father to bring aomo sugar , oil , popper and a spool of thread , No. GO , from town to-day , " At first it was difficult for them to repress the impulse to apeak to each other , but , being persons of strong will , they stuck doggedly to their resolutions until habit made it easy to do BO. "Yes,11 uaid Mr. Do woes to a neighbor ono day , "wo have not spoken for pretty near twenty.fiyo years. It has some times boeu a little inconvenient , and , of course , it seems eilly to most people ; but it has been a blessing to us in some ways.

On the nisht when the silence waa broken Mrs. Dewees had been ill for some days , and about 1 o'clock in the morning she awoke in great pain , nnd thought her end had como. In her agony she called out to her husband : "William , I believe I am dying ! " The old couple have been talking to each other ever since.

Old Anthonjr Blocckor , the veteran real estate auctioneer , who is just dead , has sold Now York city twice over. Ho has auctioned off land dav by day for more than a half century , nnd know more about real estate than any other mnn. The first Now York directory , published in 1780 , contains "A. L. Bloockor , auctioneer Wall street , " and the business was boqunathcd from father to son. A peculiar feature in real estate auctioneering is the fact that the fee is the BMHO whatever bo the value of the plat. Bloockor got no moro for soiling the brick church , whichbroushtS175,000 , than ho did for rattling off a Harlem lot for one-twentieth the nmount. For merly the fee wns $10 per lot , but since war times it has boon doubled. The rule is that thn purchaser shall pay this fee , the object being to induce real estate men to offer their property. Any land holder may test the value of his property by offering it at auction , the only expense being advortiaing. Bleeckor's most profit- nblojob was the sale of the Bellevue property , which was ordered by the city a number of years ago. ho pjot was thirty acres , which waa divided into five hundred lots , nnd the commissions were 86,000. Bloockor's sales were always profitable for the buyers. Ho never gave any ono n bad bargain , though in some instances lent ; patience was required. The most dangerous time for real estate speculators was when the war inflation reached its climax. This took place in 1808 , when Bloeckor sold the Tolwan estate , which brought an aggregate of more than n mil lion. The reaction then began nnd con tinued for several years , when an nd- vance took place , nnd now the Tolnian property is worth moro than ever. Ono of the best bargains that Bloockor ever knocked down was the corner of Broadway and White street. It was a brick house and lot forty by ono hundred nnd fifty , nud brought § 02,500. A business structure was erected at a cost of $50,000 , nnd the entire property has since then been sold for 8460,000. Blocker , indeed , could boast of having enriched n greater num ber thnn any other man of his day. Ho saw changes which seemed almost as in credible as the tale of the Arabian Nights. Lots , for instance , in Fifty- ninth street ( opposite the Central park ) sold in 1860 at § 175 , but are now worth $30,000. Personally speaking , the veteran - oran auctioneer had none of that grace and elegance which mark some of his profession. Ho was a largo and rather ungainly man , with a coarse , harsh voice which grated on his audience , but ho al ways succeeded in extracting every possi ble advance , and know how to awaken the competition of the bidders. The skin is of that dclicato nature upon u liicli the most improvement can bo inado and by the use of Pozzoni's Medicated Complexion Powder all roughnes-3 , sallowness and Irritation caii bo over como leaving the skin delicately white , soft and smooth. This preparation a. a world wide reputation , BO no fear iioodbe * entertained of the result. Sold by all druggists A Seventy-Four Year Old Congres sional Bill. Philadelphia llcoorJ. The other day a bill was favorably acted on by a concessional committee which has been before congress for seventy-four years. As in so many cases , the original claimants and their children are dead , and their claim is now poa- ocuted by their children's children , who are gray-haired people themselves , with children and grandchildren , to whom the claim will probably descend. As a sam ple it is interesting , for it shows how simple these matters aro. In 1814 , when the British were advancing upon Wash ington , a number of planters in Mary land deposited their tobacco , at the suggestion of government officers , in a government storehouse under the care ot government troops. The government troops moved away and the British advanced nnd took the store house nnd destroyed ita contents. Ono hundred and forty hogsheads of the tobacco in that storehouse belongs to the Johnson family. The Johnson family immediately presented n claim to congress - gross for the value of the destroyed tobacco. That claim has boon pressed every session of congrcas since. It has boon reported favorably again and again. It has passed ono house or the other , but never both of the same congrcsH. Why not ? Simply because congress has so much to attend to do that it accomplishes only about 8 per cent.
