Douglas county republican cen tral committee has at last started the political ball u rolling. Till- : generous contribution of South Omaha to encourage the coining fair is highly upppreciated by the inunugers of the Omuha Fair association. To THINK that wo wore on the brink of war with Englund'on account of llsh- cry troubles in Alaska , and our gullunt Whitney bad misplaced his eye glass. CHICAGO has reached such an in flammable point that a small boy can't even throw a match into the Chicago river without being searched for bombs and dynamite. No JIAN with the lierco mustache which Mr. Fuller wears has ever been chief justice of the United States. That wus probably one of the reasons why Sonutor Edmunds opposed his conlir- uiution. Now let our various business men's clubs turn in und help the Omaha Fair usMK-iation muko a grand success ol their annual fair. Next year the fair people will help boom tlio puluco ot products. THICUK will be a direct connection between the rise in the price of coal nnd the presidential election , if it bo f true that Congressman Scott , the coal buron of Pennsylvania , will contribute a million dollars to the democratic campaign fund. THE proposed now ordinance for ma terially extending tlio lire limit. * moots nn obvious requirement. The present limits are too contracted , and it is well not to dolny in enlarging the territory within which there shall bo no moro frame buildings constructed. So the "boys" have organized a dem ocratic political club with the Indian handle Samosot which is to bo to Omaha what Tammany is to Now York. But there are too many private feuds among the braves. Tlio scalping knife is much more likely to be ui ed in the wigwam than the pipe of peace. SIN015 Mnrch 2(1 ( the totul shipment of gold to Europe was $ li,5J9.000. ! ( During the past month nearly $4,000,000 were exported. This lurgo movement of epocio is duo to the docroiibo for June In the outward movement of cotton , broud&tutTb und provisions. It is osti- miited that the falling off in our experts - ports as compared with last Juno is nearly $ o,000,000. The returning tide will , however , tot in the moment our foreign export of wheat , corn and other products begin. A. COJin.AiXT has boon tiled with the State board of transportation by an Au , rora merchant , that the Rurlington in shipping threshing machines frou Iliiclno , Wla. , to Lincoln , a distance ol , six hundred miles , charged loss than twenty dollars , nnd for cuVrying the same innchinory seventy-four miles from Lin Ooln to Aurora , Neb. , the railroad com gnny charged thirty-four dollars and ninety-six cents. If this charge bo true the board is corluinlv justified in revis ing thu local freight rates. TllK Canadian Pacific , which ha been playing smash with American rnllroitdB , will have a thorn stuck into its own side. The Northern Pacific is a once to invade its rival's territory nut extend its sybtom through Manitoba , For n long time the pcoplo of tha province have boon subject to the extortion of the Canadian Puciflo. A n relief from that monopoly the Mani tobans uro to build a line of their own to connect with the Northern Puciflo which virtually gives the American railroad n foothold iu the queen's terri t0ry * = = = = = TriK ordinance providing for the ex clusion of hawkers , peddlers , streo fakirs , etc. , whether licensed or un licensed , from specified streets in the lower portion of the city , will probablj encounter no serious opposition. It wil certainly bo. approved by the largo . majority of the pcoplo oil the streets named , to whom the dully visits of the Itincran ' "merchants'1 of every class Is.'no small annoyance. An effectual way of getting rid ol 'the vegetable and fruit vendor would be to establish a.central mackctr place for the sale Of those commodities. J J "Wlint Dorm It Portend 7 AH luropo ! , and parllculnrly Franco , ie ut this moment moat profoundly in terested in the coiiforonco of Iho Kus- snln und Gormuii empires , which it is understood will tormlnuto to-dixy. Sub- Fccjuontly the Kaif-cr will moot the oin- poror of Austria , when it is supposed hut the relations that nro hereafter to ubsist between the three empires- will 10 settled , ut least for a time. Our 'aria cablegram of yesterday presented i very full and most interesting btato- nont of the viowa entertained there re garding the meaning and purpose of he conference , from which it appears hat the almost wnanimoug fooling is hat the conference hua reference o a policy of disarmament. 11 which Franco will bo asked to mite. There was no diversity of opln- on as to what the answer to such a re- [ iiost would bo. Franco would abso- utoly refuse to acquiesce in sueh a > oliey , and in llfo opinion of tome to ask todo so would bo regarded as oquiva- out to a declaration of war. Ono irominent publio man said that "the lay when Franco begins to disarm will eo the commencement of her ruin , " mil this is the bcntimont that is un- loubtcdly general atno'ig mon of atTairs mil with the people. Patiently , earn estly and with a woll-dolinod purpose , Vance has built up an army in which , ho people feel the fullest con- Idenco , and nothing short of a n-essuro from all Kuropo will ndueo thorn to quietly bubmit to the IKmcmbermont and reduction of their splendid military establishment. A real burden it unquestionably is , but t is bnrno willingly , and rather than i-eo any disintegration the people would uncomplainingly accept an increase of the burden. As it is there is a souse of fcocurity , patriotism can'assert iUolf. ind the hope survives of some time re claiming what has boon lot > and secur ing justice for the nation. Disarma ment might huvo a sequence in added injury , insult and ultimate isolation. Buoh obviously is the fooling that por- vadcB Franco and induces her states men and pcoplo to spurn the suggestion for abandoning any part of the military establishment. But if Germany and Russia shall agree upon a policy of European disarmament they will bo very likely to huvo their way. Austria will not offer any serious resistance to a positive desire of Km- poror William , and it is not likely that Italy would bo found an obstacle. Eng land's wish in the matter would have little weight. Assuming this programme carried out , would Franco bo so obsti nate in refusing to accndo to it as to compel the powers to force her into ac quiescence ? The great majority may not feel with M. Do lloulede. "Lot us fight the whole of Europe if need bo , and light to the death , rather than humble ourselves in the eyes , of the world , " but the most patriotic of Frenchmen \\ould perhaps see the folly , when the hour of final de cision came , of going to war with the whole of Europe. It may transpire , however , that no exigency requiring so dcuporuto a determination is to be forced on Franco , and that if she bo asked to disurm the request will bo ac companied by such guarantees as will warrant her in acceding to it. It is not greatly probable that Russia will on tor into any compact that would humiliate or cripple Franco , or force her to any desperate alternative. At all events , the situation at thi& time is of the great est interest , and a few weeks , possibly a few days , may bring portentous devel opments. The Return of Mr. Blnine. It is expected that Mr. Blaine will ro- turn'to the United Statescarly in August , and it is understood that ho intends taking an active part in the campaign. The Now Yorlc Kim remarks that his appearance on the stump "is sure to give the republican canvass an impetus that will bo felt far and wido. Vast crowds will attend his meetings wher ever he speaks through Now Englant and all over the west. Ho will .irouso enthusiasm at every meeting. Ho wil capture votes for the republican party draw funds into the republican treu-- ury , and olliorwiso strengthen General Harrison's campaign. " As to all o which the Sun is perfectly correct. Mr. Blaine will bo stronger as the ad vocate of the republican cause , having no personal interest to advance , than ho could possibly bo us the candidate o the party. Ho will return to his coun try Dimply as a , private citizen , with no desire or ambition , so far as any man knows , to again hold publio olllce. The voice of the pcoplo of his state may call him to again represent them in con gress , but the probability is that James G. Blaine will not seek to return to pub- lie life. He could achieve no add ! tional honor by doing BO , and his per sonal welfare will bo best sub served by his remaining in pri vate llfo. Having declined to allow his party to a secom time make him its presidential stand ard bearer , it is not to bo supposed thn lie would enter into any contest for an inferior honor. Returning , therefore with his fame as u loader unimpaired and holding as ( irmly as over the all'ec tion of his millions of followers , Mr Blaine , the citizen , will exert a greato inlluenco than ho hiw perhaps evoi done before , and , as our Now York con temporary says , will bo sure to give the republican canvass an impetus that wil be felt far and wide. But the Sun reassures the democracy in language that seems u little satiri cal , with the promise that the appearance pearanco of Mr. Blaine in the can vass will bo offset by the presence on the stump of the domocrati candidate for vice president. If the democratic manngcrs uro wise they wil spare the "Old Roman" much labor in the campaign. They should do this no only out of consideration , for u veteran who lags superfluous on the politioa stage , but bqcauso Mr. TUurman ha always been one of the least &uccossfu mon on the stump In this country 'holly lacking in the quality .callc < magnetism , his spoouho's in both mattet and manner have always failed toaocurp , lho Interest and sympathy'of' the hvur- ago rpolHiual 'audience' . Dewing .to hi defects as u speaker ho never attainuil fujno as uu advocate iu his profession' hough as u lawyer few mon rank higher. ] ven when ho spoke on great occasions n the senate ho never commanded the ) opulnr attention that was accorded to neil intellectually inferior to him. 'lioro is nothing encouraging for the lemocrucy In the promise that Mr. Thurman will tuko tlio Held , while re- mblicuns could wish nothing bettor bun that ho should bo pitted against Mr. Ulaine in the canvasa. Tin- : announcement of the death of Mr. .T. T. Clark , general superintend ent of the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. 7uul railroad , caused a fooling of pro- ound regret among the persons in Jmuhii who know him personally und n a business way. IIo was for a iium- ) or of years a resident of this city , vhilo superintendent of tlie Union Pn- eilic. and made a largo number of rionds hare who held him in the ligh'Mt esteem. Mr. Clark was one of the ablofct and most successful railroad superintendents in the country. IIo grow up from the ranks , and ut every step of his progress ho attained a thoroughness and elllcioney that equipped him for larger duties and responsibilities. The important sys tem with which ho was con- locted at the time of his loath , and to which ho had given six years of service , is largely indebted for its present excellent condition to the xoopUonally judicious management of Mr. Clark. From the time ho became general superintendent the system bo- to experience a progress that has liad no interruption. Personally Mr. Clark was a most courteous und genial gentleman. Ili.s death is a horious loss to western railroad circles , and his many friends will fool it us a personal bereavement.

You can tell them everywhere. Hut they are a jolly set , some plain , some handsome ; some old , some young , and all bent on seeing all that is lobe soon , and hearing all that is to bo heard.

Cotl'eo , that Dimple beverage which tra dition has made innocent to the inno cent und a restorative to the guilty. I noticed a strange glance to the waiter , and a trivial tip to the waiter shortly afterward disclosed the fact that this was a cocktail she had ordered. I found later that this meant nothing , and that the gentle coctuil was the usual refreshment of the majority of the young women who frequent the restau rants of tin afternoon. They are or dered in a cup which , under ordinary circumstances , represents cafe au lait , and such a quieting beverage scorns always safety itself. This proclivity of the guileless western maiden suggests to one's mind the corner of Twontv- third btrootund Fifth avenue.

HOW OMPH.VMr WAS SWINDL-Ul ) . Laurence Oliphant , tlio distinguished F.nirlish novelist , is at present in the east ana * is oxp66ted to visit the const within n few weeks. To CiUlforniuns Mr. Oliphant is u peculiarly interesting liguro. Ho is not only the author of "Altiora i'eto"Piccadilly , " and "Tho Reminiscences of a Life of Adventurer , " but ho lived in the state for a number of years and experienced not incon siderable hardships , at the dictation of an impostor named Harris who , under the guise of religious fanaticism , robbed him of a largo sum of money. Harris preached solf-doniul und the abasement of pride us saving graces , and Mr. Oli phant allowed himself to bo deluded to such an extent that lie surrendered to Harris his entire fortune some Sllio.OOO to bo used in furthering "tho cause , " and supported himself by street peddling - dling und other incomputable nidus- trios. Mrs. Oliphant who is a lovely and accomplished woman , shared her hus band's mistaken faith in Harris , und joined him in cultivating tlio virtue of humility. Ultimately Mr. Oliphant procoived tlio delusion under which ho hud la bored , und compelled Harris , by threat ening him with exposure in tlio courts , to refund $ ! )0,0 ( > 0 of tlio money. Hurt-is dolruudod a number of other rich people ple und sooms'to have boon a swindler of moro than common adroitness. His tricks huvo boon repeatedly exposed in the nowspupers of this city , us well us the depositions of those of his victims who took their grievances into court. A Nin11ACKKT. . " A funny story is told on ono of the early day millionaires of this city , long since dead. IIo owned blocks of build ings nnd had loads of money , but he did not accumulate it by lavishing it upon his friends. In other words , liko"Bur- kis" ho was very [ 'nour , " in fact consid ered a miser. > l3rown ho may bo called , though thnt wa¬ his immo. A man with such known wculth is in variably frequently "struck'1 upon the street by the burst characters , but in tlio case of this particular man of money ho seldom yielded. There was just ono of this class of rounders who could over get a dollar from this follow and that was Jonnny Daly.a worthless character , dead long years since. Johnny evi dently knew of some dark pugo in the life history of Brown. Daly was gener ally drunk and us a consequence gohor- ully out of money. IIo hud a habit of lylug in wait for tlio miser whenever In the latter condition. Upon lirnt appli cation Daly was generally mot with n refusal. . This always aroused hi ill and lie would .Buy with vigor : ' "You're an old Mi-imgling , und 'I kndw it : Oh ! I knriv/ivou ! ; You're 'a murderer , you . " - this timo-'u few uro.By - stragglers Would drift around Inthu'vicinity and- the lover of money would , With n spasm of regret , produce either $5 or SlO ac cording to the imprecations hurled ut him. him.Thero There were two men in this city , also well-knownwho wore uwnre that Brown would drawn grateful breath or two at the knowledge of the death of Daly. Upon one occasion when these two fellows were racking their brains for means of producing sutll- cient silver to buy u French dinner with , ono of them suddenly thought of Brown's terror of Daly. "I have ill" ho said , and within an hour ho had pro duced u vorv lengthy sheet of legal cap paper , covered over'with twenty-live or thirty llutitious names all down , none for less than S-j.for the burial of Johnny Daly. This they took to Brown and said : "Brown , you know Daly ? " Brown , with a pained look , replied : "I should suv I do , and nothing good of him , either.1 Then the man with the subscription list said : "Woll , wo know bo was u lit tle wild , but seeing ns hois dead the boys have chipped in to give him a de cent burial. None of the boys uro down for loss than &r > , and wo thought as you knmv him so well you'd chip in $10. Brown , secretly delighted to think that this terror of his life would trouble him no more , aid give $10. The boys had their dinner and drunk frequent bowls to the health of Brown and to their own high foreheads in hav ing concocted stiOh a clover scheme. Two days thereafter Daly emerged from u short retirement in the home for inebriates , und having gotten the liquor well out of him he was only lee anxious to replace what he had lost. He soon mot Brown , and the way that man of properly stared almost utilised the imperturbable olTrontry of oven Daly , when Brown had sulllciontly re covered himself he grasped : "Whore in did you eomo from ? "That don't interest , \on , gimmo $10. " "Man , I paid $10 two days ago toward burying you. " "It don't make any dilTeronco , I want the money , or I'll " lie Rot it , but Brown had an eye out for many days for the men wh'o had brought him the list. A Young Detective. On last Saturday a man giving his name as Charles Williams , who is sup posed to bo a professional burglar , was arrested by Olllcor Flynn in the Fifth District , says the St. Louis Globe Dem ocrat. The arrest was brought about through the instrumentality of little George Cooper , a boy IS years of ago , who displayed a coolcalculating manner and presence of mind most remarkable for ono so young. On last Saturday George R. Barclay's residence , lid ) North Channing avenue , was emptythe family und servants being nil away. It is supposed that Williams is the burglar who has boon working vacant houses re centlyand Saturday afternoon lie gained entrance to the Barclay residence by cutting the slats in the window shutter. Ho went through the library und selec ted twenty > even volumes of the most valuable and expensively bound books , and placing them in a basket , escaped without the noticoof an olllcoraiid walked south on Channing avenue. But little ( ieorgo f'oopor , u neighbor boy , saw the man eomo out of the residence and know ing that the family were absent , ho at once imagined that the man might bo u daylight burglar. The little follow fol lowed the thief for the purpose of point ing him out to the first.policeolllcorthat . came in sight. While the boy was "shadowing" the thief , the handle of the basket in which the latter was car rying the books broke and the books wore scattered over the sidewalk. The boy now proved In bo quite a little detective - toctivo , and , with an admirable non chalance , lie came up to the burglar and volunteered bis assistance in gathering together the scattered books. After the book's hud been placed in the basket the burglar walked to Olive .street and look a west-bound cable car. The boy _ boarded the same car , and kept a strict espionage on "his man.

Nature : Ironworkers , glnssworkors and others uro constantly exposed to a heat of 10IJ0 or COO Fahrenheit , and yet do not become burned , und there can belittle little doubt timt the enormous radiation from iieatod rocks and valleys , in addi tion to the direct rays of the sun , make up an amount of heal fay greater than is over experienced on even a very sunny snow slope , and yet one does not become sunburned. No doubt the sur face of the snow reflects and disperses much heat , but certainly far less than it receives , as heat rays are ulnorbod und rendered latent by the snow melting and evaporation. Experience fully cor roborates tins , for one may lie on one's back and freely expose the face for long periods to the nun und yet remain un- hurnod. There must , therefore , bo some other factor in sunburn than bout ulono. in discussing the subject with Prof. Tyndall ho added the cry interesting and significant fact that ho was never more burned on snow than while ex perimenting with the electric light at the North Foreland lighthouse , where there was no heat sullicient to produce such an effect. I am aware that sometimes , in pecul iar conditions of the atmosphere , the direct sun's rays will burn. I huvo met with some singular instances whore several pot-sons have boon burned on the same day , oven in England , who had never previously suffered in that way. I am further aware that some times not always in a dead calm on a ship's deck one may bo severely sun burned , and that in boating thu same may occasionally happen. Musics and veils have long been used as a protection on snow , and nro moro or less successful , brown veils nnd glasses in my experience being the most olllcient. As bearing up this I may mention that n friend of mine , ufter an ascent on snow , had an enor mously swollen face , and I observed that in the general swelling there wore many pits and depressions nnd that each' pit corresponded to u freckle. The irritating rays had been inter cepted by the brown color of the freckle. _ A six-pointed star sot with small diamonds mends radiating from a central cut's- eye , und overlapping u similar slur set with rubies , is n pleasing pattern in b-oooh6s. | A very pretty brooch represents ttirco entwined gurlundd of Jlowers.

LINCOLN UuiiEAU nrTiinOMtitx UKB , ) Htt'J 1' Srunr.T , V LINCOLN , July 21. ) The edict went forth lust night that the Slocumb Sunday law must bo moro rigidly enforced in the city of Lincoln. The allegation has repeatedly gone forth that the saloons were run in Lin coln on Sunday in open defiance of law. The charge did not go down very well , for the administration claims this to bo u law and order city. Mayor Sawyer gave orders that those disobedient sa loon keepers , if such they were , must be looked after and brought to the scratch. The police were on the lookout from early morning , und two of the force , Pound und Mitchell , spied C'tiso going into his place ut an early hour. This was enough for suspicious olKcers to believe that all was not right and they ordered him to "open up" or they would do the "bat tering ram" act upon his doors. Case did not have enough limo to moisten his own parched lips before ho was again upon tlm streets protesting that he sold no liquor upon the Sabbath day , but ho was ordered from his place on thu pain of instant arrest. It is certain that no side doors opened the way into saloons in Lincoln to-day. ins I-I.AIM insAi.r.oAvr.n. Not long ago the live stock sanitary commission took under advisement the claim of .T. S. C'haso , of Sutton , who had u horse killed alleged to have had glanders , by order ot the commission. Chase claimed compensation from the state for the loss ho sustained und pre sented liis bill. The board , doubting the state's liability for the claim , re ferred the mutter to the attorney general - oral , who yesterday afternoon replied us follows : LINCOLN , Nob. , July 21. Hon. W. W. All- 1)0v , Secretary State Hoard Live Stock Com missioners Dour Sir ; Your request of the 18th Inst. for an opinion us to lliu authority of the bounl to allow the elniin of S. .1. Chase of Sutton , is before inc. I am of the opinion Unit the olnhnunt , S. .1. Chute , has not fur nished you with Hiiflleiunt evidence to author ize your nlluwuuco of his claim. It think it is liicinnbont upon every clnunint : to satisfy you by competent ovulcncu upon every con dition iniinod in section It ! , chapter-4 , of the compiled statutes. Thul Is to wiv , ho must prove liy comtiLtcut ovlilunco and to your satisfaction Fist Timt the nnlinnl was not brought into the state in u disi-usuil condition or from u utalo , county or territory or district in in which the disease with which the animal is Infected or to which it has been exposed exists. Second That suohanimnl was not brought Into the state in violation of any luw or quar antine regulation thereof , ami that the owner thuivof has not violated any of the provisions that act or disregard any rule or regulation of the live stock commissioners or any member thereof. Third Tnat Iho animal did not rome into possession of the claimant with the claim ant's knowledge that it was diseased , or suspected of disuaso , or hail been ox posed to any infections or contagions disease. Fourth That the owner of said animal lias exercised reasonable diligence to protect , it from being exposed to any contagious or in fectious disease. Fifth That the nnlinal hfiB not been im- poitud into the state within six months ; that is , the miitmil muat have bcon in the state over six months. You will see that the claimant in the case In question has failed to show by any evi dence whatever the existence of some of these conditions. 1 note that he states in his letter that ho docs not know when the nnlinal was brought Into the stato. While I am of the opinion that your board should en deavor to protect the rights of the citizens , and In every proper case allow compensation for animals killed , yet I think the only legal and proper rule for you to adopt is to allow claims only when the claimant brings him self clearly within the ruloof the law. other wise you act without authority of law , and not only that , but in direct opposition to its provisions. Yours very truly , WILLIAM LICRSI : , Attorney General. LINCOLN'S SUNDAY GUESTS. At the Capital : G. W. Balentino , Denver , Colo. ; 13. M. Potter , St. Joe ; W. Van Fossno , Wollsvillo , O. ; W. C.

The funeral of Mrs. Catherine Harry , the victim of Iho Rapid Transit motor , took place from her late residence in Bulmont addition , on North Fourteenth street , ut 10 o'clock this morning.

It is stated that a solution of the water problem iu Lincoln will never bo reiu-hed until the reservoir system is adopted. This fact lius been sulllciontly settled during the past three days. The water pressure at the pumping station only reaches from thirty to thirty-four pounds when fed from mains connecting the seventy new wells. This being true , work .should commence at once that will give the city a system that will stand every test. The coroner's jury in the Mrs , P. F. Harry ease returned a verdict that the deceased came to her death by a shock produced by being run over by the front wheels of one of the motors ( in the Rapid Transit line , und that said death was caused by the attention of the en gineer being directed to some parties in danger with u horse and buggy. The jury also stated that they had examined the Rapid Transit raihuiy along North Fourteenth street , and that travel on that street was attended by the con stant ha/.ard of life , nnd recommended that the cur line should bo operated by horses or mules. A I'rnirlo Klrc In Itiirinnli. Letter to San Francisco Chronicle : There was no time to bo lost. Wo could sensibly foul the approach of the de stroying Humes. Under my instructions a light was obtained from the corni- copoly's lantern , nnd Iho senior KM-- gciint , who was now full of energy , be ing quite recovered from his d run Icon jit , with twenty men sot tire to the grass in front of the bandys , covering as wide a space as possible to the right and left of our position. The dry gras caught readily , the mon working with u will to sin-cad the Hume , for wo had but liltlo time to spare. As soon ns space was burned sulllciontly ample for thu carts to rest upon , the drivers were or dered to go ahead. The ammunition chests being strongly constructed , it would require actual Ilamo to ignite thorn , so wo wore in no danger from Iho &parks that wore Hying about. The frightened boasts wore with dilllculty persuaded to get upon the newly burned ground , it still being hot and smoking. Well for us the Burmese are kind and considerate toward all animals under their charge ; but for this fact the bulTaiocs would probably not have moved. Wo had advanced some couple of hundred of yards on the burnt portion tion of the plain when the roaring Ilamo behind us reached Iho spot wheru wo hud fired the grass. For a briif time the bent was tremendous , but our expedient was perfectly successful. The body of Hume divided und rolled onward - i ward , waning on each side of us until the whole disappeared in the distance , und then we felt wo wore safe. During the passage of the ilamcs a most curious sight was witnessed by u/ A number of living creatures werft lleoing from the Hru2 keeping just in advance of it , and often some of Uicm falling victims to the Humes. They wore in nn agony of terror , their wu- uffo Instincts being for the time sub dued. Tigers , bnflalocs , door , snakes , und others wore till mixed , p ll-moll to gether , none hooding the otlior , but thinking only of their own solf-pro.ser- vation. AH'tho lire vocoded wo lost sight of them and wont on our way re joicing. 1'onr Show Tor tlio First One. In the early days Kline's ranch in south western Colorado , was u famous stopping place for the stage couches , and there was alwuyH a goodly ( and somewhat diversified ) assemblage of travelers around the llrosldi * every evening. One evening u tourist who hud been devoting the Hiiminor to trout Hahing in the Cimurron , was tolling some pretty good si/cd Hsli stories to a . , who while long-huiroil frontior.-mun , , listening , was evidently studying how ho might % lsoo' ' the tourist and "raise him" on the size of his yarn.
