At the last session of the state legislature n law was passed making It a part of the duties of precinct assessors in the state to enumerate nil ex-soldiers , the county clerks to forward to the secretary of state the returns from the different counties. The force in the secretary of the state's ' ofllco liavo compiled thcso returns nnd find them very incomplete. It is a sufo estimate to mnko that not over one-third , of the ox-soldiers in the stuto have been enumerated and Ut fact ulono shows that the law is piucUcully a failure and the results desired by the enumeration nro not being accomplished. Jl'ho llgures , however , nro not uninteresting nnd can be taken for what they are worth with the recollection that they do not speak for over one-third of the ex-soldiers in the state. The figures ns compiled show a total of 17,058 cx-soldiors In the state. They nro from the following Htatcs in the union : Pennsylvania 1,217 , Ohio , ! ; , Michigan Ml.

As an example of these Incomplete returns Douglas county only returns HOI when it is a known fact that there are at least . ' ) , UOO veterans in Omaha nleiio. A prominent G. A.

The prohibitionists woundup their cnm- jiaign in the state In the form of a circular issued by the leaders hero denouncing in un measured terms the republican p.irty and the republican state ticket. Men like Judge Maxwell , whoso Hfo has been a standing ex- ninplo of temperance and sobriety and honesty , are not good enough for the1 political wreckers and circulars of tills character have boon cast broadcast over the state. The movement is regarded us a dying struggle of the thitd p.irty men to hold their vote up to the figure reached in former years.

A I'ltOSI'HItOI'S CIIUItCH , The now Trinity Methodist church , which was dedicated on Sunday , is an example of Methodist energy for other churches to emu late. The church has been prgnni/cd but a short time and it has now a membership of 150. At the dedicatory services $1SOO in cash was raised in live minutes' time to pay off the remaining debt on the building , allowing the church to enter upon its work free from debt. The organization has a handsome building , wiUi a seating capacity of 5H ( ) . It was built and ia finished completely in four weeks' time. The jmstor of the now church Is Huv. H. T. Davis.

When the supreme court meets on Wednes day the call will bo for cases from the Sixth judicial district. A mistake as to the time that the Omaha police ease will bo heard seems to bo abioad , the statement being made that the case will bo heard Wednesday. Hoforo the court adjourned it announced that it could not hear the ease before Thursday afternoon , and it will probably bo presented ut that time. Governor Tlmyer is at homo fiom his visit to ISentrk'o and the building of the institu tion for the feeble minded.

Well , nothing is gained by proernstinn- , lon : bo evidently thinks ono young fol- ow 119 ho leaves the little group , and , idvancing to the door , opens it and outers the otlico.

No articulate lOund can bo distinguishedas , the cadets crowd around him , pouring forth such such u voluruo of sound from their jraznri throats as ho hud never heard .tofoffe. Confusion reigns supreme , and lion ccasosas suddenly as itcominonccd , while ono , distinguished by the gilt stripes upon his arms , advances and liereoly inquires : "What do you mean by entering with out knocking ? Step out there , sir , and try it again. " Amazed , duinfoundcd , the candidate meekly obeys.

' This bally provokes a reap of approv ing laughter from the listening year lings , and John Smith thinks to pro pitiate thorn by joining faintly in the merriment.

ON THE BANKS OF THE CltA , An Old Hormlt Whoso Latch String Is Always Without. A TERRIFIC SAND STORM. The cx-lmlinn Triulci The Mysteri ous Miirilerer A llelovctl i'ni-t- ncr An Interesting Tula. A correspondent of the Now York World writing from TttCbon , Ariz. , tolls the following story : It was about 4 o'clock In the nftornoon ono dtiy hist summer thut u follow-truvolloi1 nnd I drove up lu front of a lonely , deserted- looking double abode house In southern Arizona , near the banks of the river Gilu. The Gila pronounced as if the G wore an II is the principal river in Arlyona , and though very long and car rying at times an immense quantity of water , wiw now , and at the point where wo crossed , but a trifling stream , the great body of water having sunk in the sand , leaving little else but a wide bed and low , broken banks. "Wo crossed just before coming to the lonesome house , and I was impressed with the primeval , out-of-thc-world appearance of the hurroundings in general. There wits a black cloud ahead of us and a terrible btorm soenied to be gath ering. There was not breeze enough to f > Ur a leaf , but the air was tremulous with the approaching outbreak. It was in August , the day had been vary hot , the earth was a little bettor than a dry , sandy desert , and the clouds looked Hko great volumes of sloiiin , and as they rushed down into the plain. An old man , bare headed and in his shirt- sU'overt , catno around the corner and asked UH in a hoarse , shattered sort of voice what wo would have. Shelter from the storm , wo said. Ho rained his hands to his eyes , looked out to wards the mountains and replied that it was nothing but sand and wind. Wo hardly had time to fasten our horses before the wind came on to blow fearfully. The sand arose in a sort of bluish yellow cloud with a loud , whist ling roar. But wo did not spend the evening at the house. Our host was a most myster ious person. If ho was peculiar in ap pearance and surroundings ho was cer tainly unconscious of it. Ho never be trayed for one moment any hint of sus picion that wo should think it strange or unusual that ho should bo found liv ing alone in the depths of an almost un- travolcd wilderness whore succor in case of need would bo impossible and whore existence was reduced to little less than an association with unspeak- ing natureHo was cheerful , talked as if wo wore but two of many visitors ho had had that day , when in reality wo wore the only men who had gone that way perhaps for a month ; was glad to know something of the outside world , but heard it with perfect serenity and composure , and scorned to consider life well worth living. There was an unut terable loneliness about the place. I was reminded of the solitary blue heron I had fceon lly from the bed of the river , and the sentmol-liko fish-hawk that was perched at the top of the tall white cot- tonwood. Wo had como into the house through an opening in the roar , the front door was old and weather-beaten , and had not been opened for many years. It seemed to have grown into and become an indivisible part of the walls themselves. The entire exterior looked worn and deserted. The rains had washed deep furrows down the walls , and the sun-dried bricks had been molted into ono indistinct tnass. It was an uncommonly largo house for Arizona , having four or five rooms , with no dooi but the earth. I saw a bedstead on which lay a shot gun , a Winchester rillo , a large revolver ver and a bolt full of cartridges. These wore scattered about in a miscellaneous way , as if their owner had slept witli thorn' In another room was a small cooking-stovo and a low table on whicli were a cup. a pan and a small bag ol colTeo. A cat came from under the table a black , doleful-looking cat which had a cavernous , death-like voice. I looked into still another room which wan dark , and from which a de serted , dank , repulsive air came , could KCO the earth had been dug intc and pitched into heaps , and It seemed to mo I could hear the sound ol crawling reptiles. The lloors of the rooms were torn up as if thoj had been ploughed and spaded. Every stool , every piece of wood or metal , the whole interior , -looked grimy and un comfortable. It was the most miserable human habitation I had over seen. There was a sort of unison in the wretchedness of things that was mosl depressing. The voice of the black cat made mo shudder because it was to 1n keeping with the mournful solitariness that was enthroned there. This eat was the personification of all the ovi omens and qualities that I had ovot hoard attributed to cats. The old man had lived here twenty- two years. Ho was the oldest-settlor in the county and had no white ncighboi nearer thim twenty miles. His was the only hotiso wo had seen in the whole day's travel. lie seemed to bo glad to see us , and bestowed on us all the hospi tality at his command. Ho cookci something , but when I walked into the black , greasy kitchen my appetite failed , and I excused myself on the ground of having eaten a late lunch Well , ho had a story , of course all her inits have stories. Ho and a partnei had come' there twenty-two yours a ( and ostubliihed a trading-pobt for the Pitia Indians , whoso reservation is neai bv. They were the only wliito men ii all that region and had their goods hauled in wagons a long dilanco They made money and considorei themselves rich. They had spon thirteen years in that place when out host wont away a day's travel to attuni to .some details of their business. Whoi ho returned ho found his partner lyint dead at the corner of the house neares the road with three bullet holes in his breast. Ho was greatly shocked at thi turn in their atTairs , for ho loved hi partner with more than a brother's alTcction. Not a trace of the murder 01 murderers had been left. The intorio of the house was undisturbed ; the bodj scorned to bo just as it was when it lnu fallen in the throes of death ; the do ceuNjd's revolver wasathissido , unQred and there worn no signs o ( a struggle. Perhaps the fatal shot had como fron a horseman in llio road , who had killei his victim and gone on ht3 way , conton with having gratified a-revenge. Per hups it had been an Indian who hat fired from the neighboring thickets o the Gila and had slunk away in the shades of evening with his secret ii safe hooping. Anvhow , the deed was done , and after soveiv years it still re maini'd a in.vr.tery. The body was takoi up tenderly and laid out in the house and after ono day \ \ is put nway under t mo&quitn bush , not llfty yards from the . door.

Now York Times : Old residents on Long Island are aware that a greater number of persons in proportion to the inhabitants die of trismub ami tetanus there than in any other part of the state or of the United States. This is particularly true of the eastern towns and villages. Visitors are astonished at the concern manifested over a slight cut , bruise , or incision that would bo almost unnoticed elsewhere. Cautions regarding cold after tin injury seem to them superfluous , but the natives know better , and dread lock-jaw because they have seen so many cases of the disease , in many instances in their own families. Its prevalence is accounted for by the climate and other influential causes which predispose the system to it , and it is a noticeable fact that animals , par ticularly horses , are OH much subject to it as human beings. Although tetanus is not always fatal , it invariably le.vvcs the system of those once affected with a constitutional liability to a , renewal of the attack from slight exciting causes. Trismus is included in the more general term tetanus. It is an uncontrolla ble spasmodic contraction of the muscles - clos of lower jaw , and is simply the dis ease commonly known as lock-jaw. When all the voluntary muscles of the body are attacked under the satno conditions the dibordor is known as tetanus. It usually begins with con traction of the muscles of the throat nnd lower jaw , but lockjaw is some times a purely local alTcction. It is a spasmodic affection produced by sympa thetic or reflected irritation caused by a local injury. A remarkable feature of tetanus is the absence of constitu tional disturbances. When it is at tended with Jocal irritation , such us a wound or other injury it is known ns tranintic ; when no visible cause ex ists it is called idiopathic. It may be acute or chronic , the lirst usually the result of an accident , as in the case of Kelley the carpenter , and Burengor the farmer , and almost invariably fatal. The chronic or idiopathic form some times , though rarely , yields to skillful treatment. Diseases involving the teeth , gums , or jaws often cause trismus. or lockjaw in adults , and is often the result of teething in children. Horses seem to bo very susceptible to the dis ease , and many cases are known on Long Island where a blight saddle-gall or abrasion caused by an ill-fitting harness , has. been followed by lockjaw. When they nro exposed to cold after in jury , the disorder is moat to bo feared. It is thought by some authorities that lacerated wounds produce tetanus more frequently than incised ones ; but , although this may bo true in regard to humon biibjects , horses and other animals appear to suffer moro from incised ones. A nail run into the foot is the commonest of all cabcs of lock-jaw in hor.ses. The acute form of tetanus is developed when hvmptoms quickly follow the injury. Death usually follows in from twenty-four hours to ton days after the appearance of the first symptoms. After the lapse of twonty- one days the patient or subject is re garded out of danger. Risus biironuicus , or tetanic grin , is a drawing down of the corners of the mouth by the contrac tion of the facial muscles. When this occurs all doubt is dispelled ns to the presence of trismus , and the patient is regarded beyond all earthly ussibtanco. This is often soon in dying people , and was particularly noticeable on the bat tle.Hold and in the hospitals duri g the civil war. Tetanus is distinguishable from spinal meningitis by the absence of inflammatory symptoms , and from the liust named affection by the absence of cophalulgy or headache , dolirum nnd coma. The roneciousnqhS of the patient dLstinguibhea it nlo from epilepsy , Poison by btrychnino produces symp toms so nearly akin to tetanus a * to puz zle the most learned and bkilful phy sicians.
