ANOTHER Chinese Section IHcu at Iloek Springy Motitieil. Wednesday uight , ahotit eleven o'clock , a mob of white men attacked the section house nt the old town of Hock Springs , about three miles from the mining camp that bears the name.

After making a wide detour they came into camp this morn ing , all in a most wretched condition after a night of half-clad exposure in tlio chill weather which now prevails there. The authorities and remaining : military wcro informed but were unable to dis cover the identity of the rioters. These arc mippo.scd to bo some of the striking Miinera who are barred out , from work andyot loiter about the toiyn. Their purpose is evidently to terrori/.o the coolies so that they will gladly leave the region. Efforts will be made to fer ret out and punish all parties concerned in the outrage. The mini's at Hock Springs wore stead ily operaled yesterday and elsewhere at all point.s where order lias previously been restored. > 'Tlio | ) eiuourato ! Primaries. The democratic primaries passed oft" very quietly lasv evening. There was no bloodshed no clash of warringfaetions. Indeed , but little interest was taken in the result , and life allair caused scarcely a ripple of excitement on the placid sur face of political waters. The reader , glancing over the list of delegates selected to attend Saturday's convention , ns1 printed below , will per haps have Mil HI trouble in determining the exact lines of the coming conlliet or the probable issue thereof. It would Ecom that 1'at Ford is the probable nominee - ineo of the convention for sheriff. His .friends are certainly making strong claims in that , direction , and lord him- Helf is po.-Uivo that ho will .securo the nomination. "Von bet 1 will get it" ho was heard to remark yesterday , "and il 1 get ( ho nomination you may depend upon it , I'll gel the ollico. " A-prelty well posted democrat who had scriitini/cd carefully the | list of delegates selected from each ward , and had surveyed the situation pretty thoroughly , unbosomed himself to a reporter to say this : " 1 think I am pretty safe in predicting hat. the convention will nominate the following ticket : Uenokc for county clerk , ! ! , F. Mudsen for Ireasuror.O'Keollu for commissioner , Drexel for coroner , ami For * ! for shcriu" . .Mark my word , and sco If the prediction doii't come trim. " It wns amusing to note the expression dieted from the Itoyd democrats and the Morton-lirown mon when the question "will the Hoyd-Millor-Morton light cut any liguro in the county convention } " was sprung by a reporter. Tlio follow ! ng utterance of a prominent Drown-Morton man , well posted enough to know whereof ho speaks , may bo taken aa representative ; "Tho issue you speak of will Imvo just tins much bearing : Wo have made no light U ) put Ilrown-Morton delegates into the convention , but Imvo allowed Mr. lloyd to send his own henchmen.

Two Children . \lnliicle.l. Two young lads , sons of ( "harles Allen , of this city , were forcibly abducted from their place of residence on North Six tccnth street last evening , and arc sup posed to have been taken from the city. The facts in the ease , as reported last evening , are about as follows : Cbarle Allen was some time ag > granted divorce from hi.s wife and given the cus tody of his children. After the cotipl had separated Mrs. Allen became a com mon prostitute , and has been living it Omaha most , of the time since. Mr Allen at , lirst kept his two boys willi him boarding at the Knimel. house , but finally put them in charge of a lady living 01 North .Sixteenth street , where. Ihev him been living until last night. Durin < , tlie evening a lady called at the houm anil asked to see the two boys saying she was a friend o their mother's , and had brought them t present. As soon us they appeared , how ever , she quickly sci/.ed the youngest , o the ( wo in her arms and taking the othei by the shoulder , hurried them out on the street. She quickly placed them in ; carriage standing near by and drove rap idly away. The woman with whom the children had been staying ran after them as rap idly as possible , but soon lost sight ol them. She then proceeded to the Kmmci house , where Mr. Allen boards , to in form him of the matter. Mr .Allen , how ever , was not in town , and is not as yet informed of the loss of Ins children Some of bis friends at the hotel , when in formed of Ihe abduction , endeavored U trace the woman , and found that , she had gone directly to the depot with the inten tion of takingtlio Denver train. Whether she did so or not is unknown. She i.s supposed lo boMr.Allen's divorced wife , but why she should desire to steal the children is a mystery , as she is said to bo leading an abandoned lifo. Something new will probably bo developed in Iho case when Mr. Allen receives tlio intelli gence of his loss. AVIiat is the Hey Worth ?

S-'V'T Tlio above is the statement made by Mrs. Henry in her address lust evening at the Davenportstreet Methodist church "What is the worth " The on boy ? state ment , tlio lady said , was based on care ful calculations which she had made dur ing years of experience in providing for her own family of fatherless boys. The cause which had led her to figure up the cost was a remark which had been made to her by a business man while she wis : engaged in the tcmjierauco work. The gentleman had said : "You can never make a success of your work until you can prove there is as much money in temperance as there is in whisky. " In order to convince him that there was a big balance in favor of temperance , she had inado the calculation , which , she assured her hearers , was none too high. She illus trated her point by drawing a word pic ture of two young men. One had wasted his energies in the saloon , paying' bis revenue to his country by drinking liquor , and finally landing in the gutter or the prison. Tlio other husbanded his energies , exerted himself to improve all his opportunities , and became a respect ed member of society. Place the two in a balance and which is worth the most ? Ono isa wasted life , absolutely worthless , while the other id a living monument of solid worth , The saloon , Mrs. llcnry said , is a traitor to ( lie home , the nation and the church , The boy , with all his worth , is waylaid by it , corrupted , and finally rob bed of all that is good. And yet the law upholds tlio institution just as much as It docs the church and the home. At the ehifO of Mrs. llenn 's remarks i prayer was offered by Kev. Mr Dot- iviler and tlio congregation was 'dis missed. The address was most interest- ng and was listened to with close attcii- : ion by the audience present. Mrs. Henry , vill speak again tlii.s evening on the sub- ect ol "Tho Unanswered Prayer. " l > iiliHoWoi-kH.
