Colo. , Feb. 2 ( Special to Tits BEK. , The mines of Creede and many other new district * are Increasing the output , so that last year the state's output was some thing llko SK.OOO.UOO. CreedVs mines still continue to Increase In quantity und richness as depth is gained necessitating a requisition to the Denver & Kio Orando railroad by two of them for fif teen cars each per day. To assist In moving this Increased output a third track TOO feet long U to bo Immediately added to the West \Vlllow switch. The plans and esti mates fgr the projected Creedo & Ounnlson short line are ready and will bo laid before Denver capitalists this week. The Amethyst and Hidden Treasure sold last week for ( rumor varies ) from f l.SOO.WO to W.OW.OOO. I. I * . Johnson and A. E. Reynolds of the New York' mine and B. K. Shear of the Motile Gibson have purchased one-half of the Mary Taylor , presumably to try and beat In the Happy Thought and Mary Taylor lawsuit. Minersnnil Prospects. There are not mnny men from Nebraska interested In the camp , but those hero are Interested In ininlntr Mr. Henry Wilcox of WIlcox. Xub. , ono of the most popular mm of the town , has some Bn looking prospects up West Wilson creek. Edgar J. Black of the same town , u ho Is cashier In the First Na tional bank. Is also interested. Ijca L. Fannce of Nebraska City has sev eral tine claims In the Suunysldo district. Ono of his new locations , owned by himself , .1. B. Hull and M. P. MeArthur , the Alpha and Omega , Is looking fine , and according to present Indications will soon beshlpplnp ore. This claim , by the way , lies In the lirao belt , which has only been recently opened up. nnd from which samples running as high as 1,003 ounces to the ton have been assayed. Some of the prospects which are looking exceptionally well arc as follows- On Batchclcr Mountain Batchelor Mine , Senate and Missing LlnK , Hardly Able , Pay Day , Bushwhachcr. nnd Ironclad. Mammoth Mountain Nancy Hanks , Grub Stake , and Spar. Sunnysldc District Hcao , Maid of Sunny- side , Wisconsin Boy , Double Eagle. Hidden Treasure , Blacksmith's Dream , Cotton Tail , and Alpha. In the Lirao Belt The Monon , Alpha and Omega , Wanda , Cylone , and Alone Everybody seems hopeful for the spring outlook , while prospecting and developments nrc being carried steadily forward. The Town's Crowth. The Creedo of one year ago , which won world wide fame , has not , as some of Its eastern friends suppose , stood still , but with each day Improves , until now It is as far dif ferent from the rough nnd ready camp of February , Ib9i , both as to buildings and morals and social conditions , as It Is possible to imagine. During the summer there were no streets , everything being jammed pro miscuously together with only alley ways between. Now buildings have been re moved , streets straightened , until wo have blocks and streets- regularly laid out. In place of the tents or miserable shanties that occupies the business portion of Creede. there are now a number of well built brick buildings , also two or three adobe stores. The $1,000,000 fire that swept over Jim- town , or Amethyst , as It Is nowcallcd.was In some ways a blessing , but has made and Is still liable to make considerable trouble. Ixt3 upon wjjlch owners were unable to oulld have" been Jumped by unscrup ulousmen. . Ono woman , who held a 'lb , on San Luis avenue , saw some men preparing to jump her lot , ran tbera off with a broom , although they wore armed The residence portion of the town viewed from the exterior looks very crude , but the Interior shows that the Inmates are people of culture nnd refinement. The killing of Bob Ford and several other skirmishes seems to have rid the town of the roughest element , so now there is no more , nor prob ably as much rowdyism as you find in many older , larger and more civilized towns. The weather until the last of January was perfectly delightful , no fall of snow remain ing moro than ono or two days. There has been very little snow oven on the mountains and now after a fall nf two feet last night , the roads are bare and the hills and moun tains are fast becoming dismantled. The Social .Side. Credo's 100 Is social and genial. One evening each week they meet to trip the light fantastic , and on anotncr the Whist club entertains , The latter , which is com prised of forty-eight members , has only mar ried | > eople , twelve from each lull and thir teen from the flat. The hills are Capitol , Nalxb and Sunnysldc. The secret orders are represented by the Masonic and Odd Fcllotv lodges. The Inde pendent Order of Odd Fellows pave a liter ary and musical entertainment In their new hall on last Thursday night , at which a very amusing circumstance occurred. During the evening Mr. Pileher , a rising young lawyer from Omaha , whose equal as an am.-Ujur tragedian U seldom seen , gave "The Soliloquy of Hicham HI , " As no company of the tragedy order has visited town , presumably ono of the peed brethren was not familiar with the selection , and as Mr. Pileher threw himself Into the horrible deformity of Klchard III , the brother , thinking Mr. P. was having a lit , ran to catch and carry him out. Explanations were In order , after which the gentleman looked very downcast nnd worried. Religion Is represented by the Methodist , Congregational and Catholic churches. The Congregatlonallsts are trying very hard to raise money to build a church. . Creedo camp has several appellations Upper Creede , Amethyst and South Crecdo , while on the mountains are Tellar or Batchelor. Sunnysldo and Miner's Creek. Tellar was visited by a fire last week and two men named Johnson and Vance were arrested on the charge of Incendiarism. The man wto robbed the malls between this ( Mint and Lake City was sentenced last week to Imprisonment for life. Mr. N O Crecdo lies very 111 at his home In Pueblo from la grlpixi. The citizens of this vicinity are very anx ious for a new county to bo formed , and as a bill has twssed ono house of the legislature they are likely to realize their wishes. If curried , the county will bo called Creedo with the county scat at Amethyst. Mr. N. C. Creedo hns offered $10,000 with which to build a court house or buy the long disputed Nason toll road and the , offer has been ac cepted. Iltltm.VTION IX MONTANA. Marked DlfTeronro llolurrn Private nnd .Slat Control. A measure is pending In the Montana legis lature proposing to grant the state's credit for the building and maintenance of Irriga tion ditches. A system of district bond vet ing Is proposed , similar to that In vogue In California , the state to guarantee the bonds nnd assess and collect taxes to pay interest and principal from property benefited. At present nearly all Irrigation ditches are con trolled by private corporations. The system has proven unsatisfactory and positively InJurious - Jurious to the agricultural development of the stato. A convention of ditch owners was recently held In Helena for the avowed pur pose of creatiug sentiment ngalnst the pro posed law , but It was not very successful. What Water Cost * . The Great Falls News vigorously attacked the convention as a fraud and delusion which soucht to tighten the corporate cinch on the farmers of the state. "Tho conven tion , " says the News , ' 'prated nbout the danger of risking the state's credit for irri gation purposes , and within lu members there vras not ono voice heard In dofcnso of the people and the advancement of the state's condition. No mention was made of the/act that when a farmer j > ays a private irrigation company 12.50 per acre for thirty years and add * simply B per cent thereto during the time. th t ho has pnld for his water the enormous rental of ( IXU2 , per ncre or | 3I , < WO for the watering of n 1CO- ac-ro farm nor was an ) thing said about the fact that If the state Irrigated the land Of set forth In these columns , the total cost to the farmer for not only the water supply for thirty yean , but for the total liquidation of the Irrigation debt , would be only 3 per aero , or fS.'N ' ) for each IGO-ocra farm , and that thereafter his annual rental would only bo SO cents per acre to provide a fund for sustaining the syjtem In perpetuity. Paint ing the picture In those colors did not suit the convention , and Its manipulators took good care that such presenta tion should not bo elaborated or pictured before the assembly.

The state as a government Institution Is supposed to bo supported for the benefit of the people and not that the people may be perpetually cinched by the rascally manipulation of Its machinery. "With universal Irrigation Montana could be made the garden spot of the continent. With private irrigation the state will remain much as it Is. " IUAHO-8 WILD MAN. lie Wear * llurs In lilt Hair and Eatg Grouse I taw. The Idaho wild man has again made his appearance. Many of the people living In Long Valley , In Boise county , about seventy miles from Boise City , have peported having seen him in the timber of the sur rounding mountains upon several occasions. A sheet ) herder , while tending his flock , saw a man wandering along the ridges of the mountains who would disappear as soon as he saw that he was observed. The herder hid In a tree and was rewarded by a sight of the uncanny being. He was a man about five and one-half feet In height , with dark brown hair reaching almost to his knees , matted and interwoven with burs. His beard was long and similarly adorned. Ho wore what was at ono time a pair of gray- duck overalls , but it was tattered and torn. In his hand he carred a short heavy stick. As he was passing along a grouse flew up , and. quick as a Hash , the wild man threw his stick , and with such unerring aim that the bird was killed. It was eaten raw. The herder hastened to his camp , saddled his horse and pursued the wild man , and when he had overtaken him endeavored to secure him by mbans of a lariat , but failed. The strange being ran with the speed of a mountain goat over rocks where no horse could follow. Since that time , more than a month ago , he has not been seen or heard from. Several Insane persons have escaped from the asylum at Blackfoot as well as from the penitentiary at this place. A number of them have never been heard from , and It is probable that the wild man is one of them. Was There n Shake ? Dr. Charles H. Plummer of Bozeman , Mont. , enjoys the unique distinction of see inp and reporting an earthquake in operation In Yellowstone park. No one questions the doctor's veracity , nor is there a rival for the honor of first carrying the news to civill2a- tton. The doctor reports that a scries of earthquakes have been felt In the park dur ing the last few weeksone of which was the most terrific eruption since the discovery of the park. The main road south ot Norrls geyser basin caved In for a longdistance , and to an unknown depth. In 'One place there remains a huge gap in the earth seventy-five or elehty feet \slde. and probably several hundred feet in length. .Marks left by the recent earthquake are plainly visible in a numher of places. Larpo chandeliers and lamps in the hotel nt Norris basin were knocked down and two persons In the bulldlnt ; at the time were very much frightened. The course of the road at the basin will have to be materially changed , as the damage Is so extensive that It can never be rebuilt. It is reported at the time of the principal quake the vibration of the earth could bo felt for several minutes. Parts of the park further away have not been heard from on account of the immense snows. Above the Mammoth hot springs there Is a solid bed of lava seven or more feet deep. Doctoj Plummer reports that the Mam moth Excelsior , which has not sent forth its immense stream of water for many years , is very active , and that its great crater has filled with water. There are always changes in the condition of the springs every winter , but this season the changes have been greater than for years , possibly on account ot the recent quakes. Industrial Concre sp * . Three industrial coneresses will bo held in the west this year. The first of these will be the Transmississlppi Commercial congress , which will meet at Ogden on Monday. April W. This Is the fifth session of this body , former ones having been held at Galveston , Denver , Omaha and New Orleans. It Is composed of delegates named by the gov ernors of all the states west of the Missis sippi , by the mayors of cities , chambers of commerce and other commercial und indus trial organizations. It considers all topics relating to the west and western Interests. The session at Ogden this year promises to bo largely attended. The second will bo the National Mining congress , which will bo hold in Salt Lake City on Monday , Juno 5. This will bo Its third session , former ones having been held at Denver and Helena. It is composed of delegates appointed In a manner similar to the Transmississippi congress from all the mining states and territories. Its name In dicates the class of topics it considers. The next Is the Western Slope congress , which will meet at Montrose , Colo. , on Wednesday. June 21. This will bo the fifth session of the congress , former ones having been held at Grand Junction , Aspen , Ouray and Durango. It is composed of delegates from all the counties , cities and commercial bodies of western Colorado. Its purpose is to advance the interests , industrial and otherwise , of that section of Colorado. Shutdown of Mlver .Mine * . Advices from the Cojur d'Aleno silver and load mining district in Shoshone county , Idaho , are that owing to the low price of silver the mines will within a few weeks be compelled to shut down. This action will throw about 2,000 men out of employment and will have n disastrous effect upon north ern Idaho. 'Die mine owners fear that a general close down will sooner or later load to a repeti tion of the labor riots of last July. The miners to bo rendered Idle are the nonunion men who early last summer superseded the union men. They will not remain in the district after tbo mines close down , but the union men , most of whom have homes there , will stay there and may causa trouble when the mlno owners at tempt to resume operations with scab labor. The Idaho legislature has recently passed a law making it virtually Impossible for a sheriff to summon a posse , and the state militia organization U about to go to pieces , and these two circumstances the mine owners think wlill give thounlon men control if they are Inclined to become obstreperous. The shutdown of the great Comr d'Aleno mlnos will have an appreciable nffect upon the silver and lead markets , as they rank among the largest producers of the world. Montana' * linprnt UodSral.

McKclghan Is to have a private secretary In the person of E. M. Kelly of Beaver City , a rock-ribbed democrat. Kearney now has a cigar factory that employs eight men , and the proprietor ex pects to enlarge the capacity. "Doc'1 Mathcws has retired from the ed itorship of the O'Neill Frontier , and taken up his duties in the land office. Kobert Farncr , one of the four men who made the first settlement In Pawnee county In 13T4 , died at DuBois lost week. The Methodist church at Gretna Is In the hands of the Sarpy county sheriff , and will be sold. A religious war Is the cause. Pcntler's republican postmaster Intends to resign March 4 , and then the struggle of the democrats for the place will become fierce. Hoodlums make themselves altogether too prominent at entertainments at Superior , and there Is a demand that they be sup pressed. The annual meetlngof the North Nebraska Teachers association will be held this year at Fremont , March ' ) , and will continue In session four days.

Mayor Boydcn of Grand Island has de clined to stand for re-election. He Intends to retire from politics and bo a doctor Just as soon as he can "learn the trade. " Auburn citizens are greatly excited over several fires which have been started in that city recently , and a reward of f.V > 0 has been offered for the detection and conviction of the incendiary. Four Grand Island lads have run away and are now somewhere on tholr road to the World's fair city with about tfl ) In cash to give them n start in life. Their parents hope to find the wanderers before their cash gives out. While a Grand Army ball was In prosrresj nt Geneva an alarm of fire from an adjoining building almost caused a panic. The hall Is reached by a long stairway and a rush was made for It , but cool heads succeeded In keeping the crowd back until the alarm was over. The Schuyler Quill says- Last week the people of Leigh awoke one fine morning and discovered that the Leigh drug store had been robbed. Local work was evident , but Just who did the deed was the all important question. Little by little discovered fast ened the guilt upon G. A. Strande. one of the prominent citizens of the village , and It caused a great surprise. Ho is village clerk , was a justice of the peace and was promi nent In politics as a republican , as well as up In society. His guilt was hard to Jbe- lieve , but the evidence was strong. The fact that the thief knew Just the location of the most valuable goods in the shelves , in the prescription case , and even upstairs was evi dence of local work. Strande formerly clerked In the drug store , and now runs a similar business of his own. His talk con cerning the matter led to him being sus- ptcloned and a search warrant was secured nnd his residence searched , but nothing dis covered. Then his store was looked over and finally the floor taken up , and there In a hole was found nearly ? X ) worth of the stolen goods. He denies the theft and claims that they were placed there by other par ties without his knowledge , but the case seems too plain against him. News I'lacers.

If the efforts of a New York Delsarto professor are at all successful it will soon be possible for hostesses to enter tain their friends In a most pleasing manner with artistic fainting fits. The professor has established a school wherein women are taught how to faint with propriety and ease. When a lady feels that she would enjoy a faint or that the situation properly calls for one &he collapses with conscious grace into one of many poses best suited to represent insensibility. By and by , it is as-sorted , the fainter becomes so accustomed to doing it in the proper manner that when a real fainting spell corned on aho will involuntarily tumble into an attitude picturesque anil draniatlcally impressive. Thus a sudden indisposition instead of depositing the sufferer in a humiliated heap will make her a highly pleasing picture of feminine distress , the distress Itself being tempered by , the victim's knowledge that she must be making a favorable impression. For those who prefer not to fall , but be just faint enough to need assistance , another style of agony Ls provided , the oulTerer plantIng - Ing her soles a foot apart and waggling gracefully like a spent top till help ar rives. In case no help comes to hand It is best to have a thick rug near to fall on. This style Is obviously of great service. If the sufferer is young and good looking and there is a man In the room the rug will very probably not be needed at all. Hallway Connection * . Nonrn GILVESTOX , Tex. , Feb. 25.

IN THE WORLD'S FAIR CITY Municipal Politics That Interests All Who Will Visit the Exposition. MAYORALTY FIGHi- WILL BE WARM Qualities of P.O. Armour That Mnke Him a Strong Candidate How n Grcnt Spec * ulator ConclfltlM Hit I'rofej- ilocutl Career. CUICAOO , IlL , Feb. 25. [ Special to Tin BEE. ] People outside of Chicago cannot be supposed to ordinarily take an overwhelm ing interest in the politics of this city. How- crer , Inasmuch as the outcome of thu pres ent struggle for the mayoralty nomination is bound to have a great and important effect on the condition of affairs which will con front the stranger when ho visits the World's fair this year , a brief resume of the situa tion may prove interesting. Every one hero rocogniies the fact that if the contest is decided in one certain vray Chicago will be "run wide open" this year gambling houses will bo in fall blast ; concert halls , which have largely remained closed slnco the regime of Mayor Koche , will spring up on every hand , and It is to be feared the criminal classes will bo held in check even less than they now are. On the other hand it is con fidently asserted that if the contest ends in another certain way the result will be that the Chicago "elephant , " while he may not be of such gigantic and interesting proportions tions , will IKS a much more doolie and tracta ble nnimal. There may not bo so much to sec in Chicago , but strangers and residents will be far better protected from all forms of vice and thuggery than they might other wise be. So that every man , woman and child in America or any other country who expects to visit Chicago in lsU3 Is more or less di rectly concerned in the outcome of this elec tion. In the first place , nothing Is more likely than that all party lines will be obliterated at the coming election. The democrats hold an early convention and already there Is a picturesque struggle In their ranks for the nomination. Carter H. Harrison , who some time ago purchased Wilbur F. Storey's old Chlcaco Times , and who has already been mayor of Chicago four terms , wants a fifth term. lie is making a strong fight. Ills principal opponent , who Is also making a sturdy warfare , is Washington Hcsimr , editor of the Staats Zeiting. Mr. Hosing has boldly declared that if he is elected he will favor gambling under certain restric tions , with all that this implies. Mr. Harri son is decidedly silent on this point , but his enemies point to his four-term record as mayor and say : "Of course he will run the town as he ran It before. " During Mr. Harrison's term of office Chl- caco was "wide open. " as it has never been before or since. Mike McDonald , "king of the gamblers , " was in the heyday of his glory and was the absolute ruier in local politics All sorts of ( tens were open and flourishing ; the concert halls , with their more or less attractive music and their com bination of women , wine and sons , were to bo found on every hand ; the notorious Buck ingham variety theater , since closed , was a center of crime and iniquity. In a word. "Chicago by gas light'"Jwas about as wild and wicked a place as any city in the world. The Cook countj "boodlera" did their work dur ing Harrison's reigimo ; so did the Mackin- Gallagher gang of 'ballot box stutters and election return manipulators. The anarch ists were the product of this period. To all these facts Mr. Harrison's enemies point and say : "Look-Out. " It is not at all improbable that the republicans and a cer tain clement of the democrats will combine to nominate an independent candidate , who will pledge himself to a strict policy of re- form. ; / * There is some talk of running P. D. Ar- inour as this independent candidate for mayor. Nearly everybody in this country has become acquainted with the name of the big packer , either through having partaken of his sugar-cured hams or through having heard of his handsome benefactions. Like most charitable men , Mr. Armour hates to have the knowledge of his good deeds be come public property. The consequence is that while everyone necessarily hears of the big sums he gives away to public institu tions like the Armour mission , the Ar mour Normal Training school , etc. , there are numberless other acts of charity performed by him of which the world never hears. A physician told a story the other day illus trating this point. He was on speaKing terms with Mr. Armour and went to him with the case of a poor man who had become sick ami unable to work. The poor fellow was likely to be laid up a long time , without a cent of income to provide for the wants of his wife and large family. Mr. Armour heard the story and immediately issued an order on a certain meat and provision dealer to give the unfortunate man all the meat and groceries ho could nse until further or ders , sending the bills to P. D. Armour. "Now , Dr. , " said the packer , "this will run along until this man is once more able to work. And , mind , if you say a word of this to any one I shall send you the bill and expect you to pay it. " And Mr. Armour meant what he said. P. D. Armour won't bo Imposed on. For instance : He has a custom every Christmas of allowing each clerk In his office to select a business suit , ordering the tailor to send the bill to him. One bright December morning Mr. Armour received a bill for $90 for a suit purchased by a new and rather fresh young clerk. Ho called for the youth. The clerk entered the big man's oQico smiling and self-complacent. Mr. A banded him the bill. bill."Your "Your suit ! " asked thepacuerlaconically. "Yes , sir. " "H-m , " said Mr. Armour , with cutting sar casm. "Well , sir , I've been In the packing business forty years and I have seen a good many big hogs in my day but you are about the biggest hog I ever saw. " "What has become * of 'Old Hutch' ! " people ple are asking. Five years ago B. P. HutchInson - Inson was the best known character in the city and the best known grain speculator in the world. At one time he absolutely con trolled the grain markets of Chicago and his influence was felt in all the great marts. His wealth was estimated to bo in the mil lions no ono know the exact figure. But ' 'Old HutcV' began to give evidence of falling powers and to makexash speculations. One day ho disappeared' Had then it became * known that his big fortune had all but dis appeared and that "only enough had been saveu from It to keep.the old man in moder ate circumstances for1 the rest of his life. Pretty soon "Old Hutch" turned up In New York and , announcing'that he hated Chicago and would never return-to It , declared that ho had come to make his home in Gotham. Pretty soon ho startled' his acquaintances by openinr up a grocery store In a poverty- stricken district of th J Ity. But he wasn't a success In the business and a few such mistakes as selling salt , -for sugar and coal oil for vinegar told * upon a trade monger enough at the outset ' The old man sold out the other day. after baring sunk a good deal of money In the venture , , and is now casting atxrjt for something to do. One of "Old HutcVs" brokers in his palmy days was a lad whom he had taken as an office boy and put tin the hiu'h road to success. This your.gs.ter dcvoloi > od into a bright business man , became a member of the Board of Traae , and eventually made his fortune. This man now amuses himself by running a summer resort hotel at Pass Christian , Miss. A Chicagoan who has re cently returned from there says thae the ex- broker has Just received a letter from his old employer In which the old man says ho would like to board at the Pass Christian hotel If the rates were no : too high. "But , " ' auded Old Hutch' , Bjrni-humorously. "perhaps I might pay for part of my board by helping with the chores. You know I learned a good deal about cows and horses when I was a boy nt home. " "If 'Ola Hutch' should over go broke and tieod money , " sild the hotel man to the Chi cagoan who tolls .ho story , "I could goon the Coor of the Chicago Board of Trade and in lass than two hours time I could ralwfSOO.OOO for the old man by appealing to the brokers who In thuir younger days were nolpod by B.

" This Is the notice that stares In the face the stranger vUItlng the "Peoples church , " the pastor of which is the famous Dr. Thomas , who was expelled from the Meth odist denomination some years ago for heresy. Dr. Thomas preaches every Sun day In McVlcker's theater. The notice re ferred to Is strictly enforced and the cense * quencw is that every Sunday morning before the doors arc opened to the general public there Is a Jostling throng of people , who do not hold sittings or belong to the church , standing in the foyer , unable to gain admit tance to the services already In progress In side. Finally when the doors are thrown oj > cn there is a grand rush. Sometimes every one gets a seat : very often not. "It's an outrage that strangers should be treated in this way , " said one tall , portly gentleman who stood in the waiting throng the other Sunday morning. "It's a sorry way to treat outsiders this compelling them to miss one-quarter of the services in order that the ushers may have an easier time in seating the regular members of the church. " "We have to do It in order to protect the holders of sittings here , " explained the church management. This little incident leads up to the very se rious problem that Is now being dealt with by the reliclous leaders In this city : "What shall we do with the thousands of World's fair visitors who will want to attend church this year , " ' Chicago has hundreds upon hundreds of commodious church edifices but it U a fact that nearly all of them are filled to overflowIng - Ing overj * Sunday morning , notwithstanding the fact that this city has the reputation of belnc an ungodly town. What the situation will become with hundreds of thousands of visitors in the city one can easily Imagine. A committee is now at work trying to solve the problem. It is probable that" arrange ments will be made to hold great meetings every Sunday cither lu the World's fair buildlncsor inconvenient halls down town under the leadership of eminent local di vines and otncrs irom abroad. It is hoped to have the gatherings addressed f.'om time to time by the greatest of religious thinkers from all parts of the world. World's fair hotel schemes by which the prospective visitor to the exposition is offered board and lodging at dazzlingly low rates provided he becomes a subscriber by paying so much down and so much a month are springing up like mushrooms. Some of them are honest : many are palpably othei wise It stroncly behooves the outsider to be exceed ingly wary and very much on his guard It is pretty generally recognized that these gentlemen with orilllant schemes are not in the business purely and solely for their health. * A High I.lver Usually has a bad live.He is bilious , constipated , has indigestion and dyspepsia If there is no organic trouble a few doses of Parka' Sure Cure will tone him up.

Sometimes It It Dangerous Iluslness Tor an American Sultur. "The Mexican girls are very fond of Americans , but their admiration Is not extensively shared by their country men , " said J. S. House to a San Francisco Examiner reporter. "I went down there with old Zach Taylor , and liked the country so well that I stayed. I bought a cattle ranch and soon had one of the finest herds in the country. I got along nicely with my neighbors until the hand some daughter of Don Jose Velasquez came homo from school at Park- , and then my troubles began. Pretty girls are not plentiful in Mexico , and Senorita Inez was as beautiful a woman as ever graced the court of old Castile. I was soon paying assiduous court to the dark- eyed &enorita. and she appeared to re gard ray suit with considerable favor. I had for my rival a Senor Romero , a wealthy ranchero , who was supposed to have been at one time a chief of a gang of banditti that infested the Sierra Madre mountains. "One evening , while riding over to the hacienda of my prospective father-in- law , a la so was thrown over my head and settled about my arms , pinning them to my side. My horse went on , but I stopped. A minute later I was sur rounded by a dozen as villainous-looking greasers as over cut a throat. They bound me securely , carried mo up into the mountains and anchored me in a cave that was evidently the repository of plunder secured by robbing excursions. I supposed they intended to hold me for ransom and opened negotiations with them. I then learned that Romero had employed them to assassinate mo , and that they had captured me instead , and proposed to serve the master who paid best. If Romero bid more to have me killed than I could pay for my life they would draw a knife across my throat. If I outbid him I was free to return and settle with him. Romero's pur&o was long , his hatred infinite , and I fully ex pected that ho would name a price that I could not pay. "After they had opened negotiations with him , however , 1 chanced to over hear their conversation. Romero would not ralso the original price 31,000. They came to mo and told me that ho had offered * 10,000 for my life. I saw through the game and replied that I would only pay 32,000 for my release. They made a pretense of preparing for my execution , but I stood tirni and they accepted my price. It was some days before I could arrange the pay ment and then I returned to have it out with Romero and resume * my attentions to the young lady. What was my surprise to find him coming to my rescue ? While wo were quarreling about the girl a Frenchman stepped in and married her. Romero wanted my assistance to kill the Frenchman. I de clined to join In the enterprise and Romero undertook it alone and got the top of his head blown otl for his pains. I was always a trille sorry the affair did not end differently.
