BENNISON BROS. A IlUSl.NKSS CI1ANGH. II. S. I'lckfriim. llcooincs Wrotem . \Kcnt for tno Ciimptnll I'ros-ios. Mr. II. S. Pickering , well known to printers nil the way from the Missouri river to the Roi'ky mountains , has re cently resigned us treasurer and man- ngor of the Omaha typo foundry , which ho has filled , with conspicuous success , for the past tliroo years. Ho has opened olllces at 1114-1110 Farnam street as the western agent for the well known Campbell printing'presses. . Mr. Pickering has had long experience in handling-of printers' supplies and inn- torials , and Is entiirelv competent to ( ill the Important position which ho hm now accepted. For seventeen years lie has devoted , himself exclusively to this line of business. Ueforo coming to Oinaba ho was employed < ifor 'ilvo years ns cashier of the Chicago house of the Campbell Printing Press and Manufac turing company , which has its homo of fice * in Now York nnd its principal shops at Taunton , Mass. As western agent for this g.-eat house Mr. Pickering will control all the terri tory between DCS Moines and Utah. lie will deal in now and second hand presses , printer's Ink. varnishes and printer's supplies. The Campbell company now makes all classes of presses , from the Webb perfecting to the small est cylinder boon presses. Their machinery has an enviable reputation and ranks as a standard for the finest class of work. An important feature of Mr. Pickering's business will bo a complete repair shop , which ho expects - pects will grow into an industry of con siderable importance. It is , perhaps , not too much to say that no western business man has a wider acquaintance among the editors and printers of this section than Mr. Pickering. His popularity with them has been frequently demonstrated , and there Is good reason to predict the suc cess of his present undertaking. THE PAIIt.

Wo presume ovury family rccocrnlzcs the low prices being charged today foi oil and gasoline , but perhaps few know how this change him been brought about. A few months : ago wo established a branch house hero to sell oils and gaso line to the trade in competition with that gigantic monopoly , the Standard Oil Co. At thtit. ' time W. W. oil was Belling at retail for 11 cents , and gasoline nt 11 cents. Through our competition the prices today to the retail trade are reduced about 3 cents on oil and same on gaso- Hno , which means the saving of a great many dollars n year to every workingman - man , and which , but for our competi tion , would go to swell the profits of the oil monopoly. The Standard oil trust does not llko our competition , and spare no efforts to work against us ; but it is to the interest of the worklnginan to maintain ua in your market , und you can do this by de manding ; our oil from your grocer.

My pard and I simply looked at the nutritious grass and wished wo him pack animals to oat it , hut not so with our tenderfoot. Ho hurried to build a camp llro and mix the nourftu1 flapjacks , and nlleo nllttlobacon , remarking : I want to prospect some of this dirt , and will you attend to the cooking ? 'Certainly,1 wo replied , winking and blinking nt each other llko owls in the glaring sunlight. 'By all means go and prospect that dirt ; you might find some banknotes in there , .

However , ho scooped up a pan of dirt from n llttlo naturally formed rifilo at the base of the rocky precipice , and ho washed it at a llttlo spring near by , and to our utter astonishment , complete dis- comllturo and unbounded delight , lie produced over $5 worth of coarse gold to our bewildered but admiring ga/.o.

They lived together peaceably until about six months ago , when trouble arose and they finally agreed to separate. The young wife loft town , but the hus band continued on in the shovel factory and went to board with a neighbor. Prom time to time since their separa tion Bush has been hi receipt of communi cations warning him to leave town tit once. once.Ho paid no attention to these missives , which wore invariably slimed with n cross. On December 17 hist ho received a long communication tolling him that If ho did not leave in u few days ho would bo marked In such a way that ho would carry it to the grave. Last Sunday night the young man , as usual , attended services at the 'church of which ho is a member. During the night , after ho had retired , he hoard a noise , and that was the last ho remem bers until the next morning , when hu nwoko to find : v largo blue cross im printed on his face. It extends from the top of his hair down over his nose , with n crosspicco over the forehead. The odor of chloroform , which filled the room , indicated that ho had boon under its influence. An examination by a physician dis closed that the cross had boon picked or tattooed with India ink. In the cenlet wore the letters "N. to C. " Last nighr ho received another communication from the same source tolling him lie must leave the city instdo of twenty- four hours or ho would bo a corpse.

Ho asserts that ho has not an enemy in the world with the exception of his wife. ill * n Snake. Tom Ward wont out hunting , taking with him his livor-colorod dog , says the Uvalilo Rollector. After being out all morning lie went to the camp of the guards near the pesthouse , out on the slough , two inllort from the town , to take dinner. After the monl ho and John C. McCarthy took up their guns and titarled out hunting again. The dog wandered ahead of thorn some distance , and after a while they board him bark ing in a furious manner , and shortly after they heard a sharp yelp , accom panied by confused sounds of n desperate struggle. The guiitlomon ran on , but wore unable for quite awhile to locate the npot whence the sound came. Final ly they separated , and McCarthy , pur suing the search , came to a place where the brush was broken down and the grass torn up , and suddenly ho heard the sound of the rattles of a monster rattle snake , and , looking round to his right , observed the largest of that spo- elos ovur before soon or heard of Ir , the world. Ho lirod his Win chester into the monster's head and killed it. Mr. Ward came up , and the two proceeded to open the serpent's stomach , whereupon the lost dog sprang- out alive and unhurt , with the exception of a few bruises and n sovoru fright. They skinned the snake and brought the hide to town and turned it over to Joe. TowiiKond to stuff. Tills morning Mr. Townsend brought the stuffed skin to this olllco and it is now in our poHsesslon. The akin measures thirty-six foot long and eighteen feet In diameter. It Is mild that the snake when alive was much larger. The gentlemen named in the foregoing are well known in Uvaldo county and are of unquestioned vorac ity , and they and other citi/.enn who saw the Hiiake and dog on the ground are ready to make oath to the truth of the statement given above. Any ono wish ing lo see the biiako skin will plouno call before January 1 , for then wo Intend to send it to the Smithsonian Institute at Washington. The dog can bo scon any day at the homo of Tom Ward , in the wobtorn part of the city. II. II.

On the 21st of May last Miss Dora . Elliott , a young lady of a neighboring city , and George Rogers , a young man of the same place , wore united in mar riage , says tlio Los Angeles Times. They separated in less than an hour after the holy mnn pronounced them ono , and binco that time they have mot ns strangers only. Miss Dora , or Mrs.N * Rogers , who is highly educated and belongs - > * . longs to a wealthy and highly rospecta- bio family Is now in this city earning her living us a waitress. To properly understand this singular state of affairs it is necessary to go back several years or just after the young woman completed her education and en tered society. Among her mother's frlonds nt that tlmo was an old and ugly bachelor , but to make up for his face ho possessed much wealth in the shnpo of lands and bank notes , and us Miss Dora's mamma Had a sharp eye for the main chance she began to scheme ns soon us her daughter returned from school , .The rich man suddenly discovered that ho had suuh a thing as a heart , and when his ancient eyes wore first lit up Dora's lovely face and trim figure , ho made up his mind to olTcr her his hand and a fair share of his worldly goods , lie spoke to the mother at once , and as the old lady had longed for this happy moment for months and perhaps years , the match was arranged in true French style on the spot , and the next morning poor Dora woke up an engaged girl , without oven being consulted. J It is easier to imagine tlio scene whon' mother and daughter mot than to de scribe it. There wore tears and all that kind of tiling , but the young girl was given to understand that she and the an cient lover would bo married on a certain day , oven if the heavens should cave in in consequence. Miss Dora saw that she would Have to make a flunk move on the enemy's worlcs. A few days before slio was to bo mar ried ' ' " she called to 'Money Bags" on young Rogers , who was brought up by im old-school southern gentleman , and in consequence stands over ready to spill Ills heart's blood in the defense of any female in distress. Dora told George her Bad story - aitd asked Him to Help her out. His warm blood was up to lighting Heat In a second , and had it not been for the girl's cooler Head the old party who wanted to sacr.ilico a tender lamb would have been devoured by cemetery hugs long ore this. Dora explained that the only way to save her from a fate worse than death was to marry her himself and forever knock tlio ancient party out of the ring. George did not love the girl and ho know that slio did not love him , but ho hud promised to save her , anil , as she insisted on the marriage plan , Ho con sented , and the day wan sot for the next morning at an early Hour Dora re turned homo a happy girl and blent sweetly that night , for the llrst time in many months. The next morning the couple mot at the HOIIHO of [ i kind minister , who had promised to tie the knot , and , as a llconbo had boon secured , the young couple wore soon made ono , so far as the laws of California are concerned. The bride was duly kissed by her Husband and the minister , and in less than 11 vo minutes she was on Her way to her mother. But she did not conllde in tlio old lady In the regular runaway match stylo. Slio wont to her room , packed a few clothes , keepsakes , etc. , in a grip , wrote a note to mamma , asking Her to call on the minister , and took the next train for Los Angolos. She proved HO cute that her family wore not able to locate her for a long tlmo , notwithstanding the fact that some of the best detectives in tlio state huvo boon employed , and it was only i a few days ago that they found hor. It Is Hard to toll what they can do , howovur , for she Is a married woman , and Is a free agent so far as they are concerned , but they are expected to visit her In a few days. During all UICHO months the husband . has only mot her two or tliroo timesnnd ' then he was not allowed to sea her alone , as she did not euro to talk over Her troubles , but ho HUH learned to love Her more do.iporntoly , and is doing all In his power to induct ) Her to go homo with him , but Hho Hits not given her consent nnd ho Is almost crazy over the affairs.
