I lUtney County Mystery. The Harney Press rcjtorts that about three " weeks ago Clias. Gnwno and I'M. Duncan noticed a deserted camp in tho bill, some ii e .i i wtrco nines ironi me roan, near ( row I amp, everything being left as though the party or par- ties bud gone oil' a short distance exjicetingMo return in an hour or so. Last week Messrs. Irving and Stewart took the things to Mr. Irving's house to prevent the cattle from destroying them. The outfit consisted of a pair of blankets, u quilt, a ruling saddle which bad Iteen changed to a pack saddle, a pair of alphoras or pack saddle bags. There was also a comparatively new dress coat, about No. !!, and a man's belt marked with several stock brands and bearing the initials "K. N. W." There were some Hour bags, the contents of which had been destroyed by the cattle, which were marked "Dufor, Or.," nnd a can of mustard labeled 1 U'N"-' lalles." There were also a lot oi men s olu clothing, some I l-cal. Colt's cartridge, three new horse shoes nnd a shoeing hammer, n horse bell and a itair of hobbles. The surroundings indicate mat tnere was one man with a gray pack horse there are gray hairs on the pack sad dle blanket and a saddle horse. There is a bay mare, with a sore back, on thu range near this camp. Some think the man bus been foully dealt with and the asassin got away with the saddle and gray horse. Another opinion is that the fellow was a fugitive from justice and had got scared and left the sore-backed I ay mare, the pack and cooking outfit, took the gray horse and saddle and got out of the country, or that he was bitten by a rattlesnake and some one got away with the horse and saddle. Thu camp is in a little canyon where rattlers are very. numerous. One thing is certain; tne imiiuicu Horse was , brought into camp, the hobbles I thrown down and the riding sail I u'e removeil, the ruler not even die removeil, the ruler not untieing the rope from tho sage brush, hut loosed it from the horse and left. Whatever may be the cause of the desertion of the camp, tho circumstances ap pear sullieiently suspicious to call for investigation. If theie is a dead man in that vicinity, his hodv should be found and the mode of death ascertained.

Xkws: Kx-Socretary Whitney announ ces that the story that ho is about to back a new weekly pajwr in Washington, having for its pur ttose his nomination as the next ! democratic candidate for presi- dent, is without foundation. To this he adds the denial of any willingness to accept a nomina tion to "this or any other otliee." Of course, there will be ample j time for Mr. Whitney to change his ttiitul. So far as founding a Washing ton weekly for the purKse of in fluencing politics is concerned, Mr. Whitney is too good a busi ness man to make such nn un profitable investment. The Wash ington papers are now, and have been for several veara, without weight or influence in National affairs. The best of them, the Star is merely a local newsgath- erer. Add to tins the fact that Mr. Hudson, who was named as editor of the new sheet, is a weak sort of society reporter who bril liantly managed to ruin thu Sun day Capital, and Mr. Whitney's denial of the newspaper scheme is easily t elieved So far as his avowal that he would not accept ollico is con cerned, Mr. Whitney will excuse those who know him for having mutual reservations on the sub ject, Mr. Whitneys desire for the presidency has been noticed for two years and his availability as a candidate recognized. Mr. Whitney is, beside the late Mr. Manning, the one really able man in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet. He made the fewest mistakes and the most sueiess. It is well known that the great wealth of Mrs. Whitney's fatuity would he edited in the cause, even to the extent of a couple of million dol lars. Dearly as Mrs. Itlaiue would love to he the lady of the White House, Mrs. Whitney fs Known by her friends to have a still more ambitious longing for the position. In seeking for things to reform Mr. John Wannauiaker has un luckily stirred up an enemy that iirooks no interference and sub mits to no defeat. Yesterday he cro.-sed the last bridge in his op'tiing fight with tho Western Lnion Telegraph Company In ordeting the payment of the gov ernment telegraph hills suspend ed pending the ccltlc munt of tin discussion. Dr. Norwin Green, president of the great telegraph monopoly, calmly announce tli..t he will light the IWiiiaKlcrGi.ii , critl i.t the courts. lie st.ile j that in ordering the rule cut, a , to all distances, t'toni one cent to ( one null per word, the IWiniis- ter General Iuih exceeded the an j thority given him by law to li. the rate thu government shall pay for thu transmittal of inessa I Dr. Green alleges that this it unconstitutional, being the tak ing of private p;oKirty and servi ces without just and fairiompuu nation. The defense is thus on urond and seemingly equitable grounds if as Dr. Green states , messages could not be sunt al the I rate proposed without loss to the ' company. Thu average length , of a government mcnsiigo is about I twenty words, ami of course it iniibt bo delivered by a messen ger, and must take percentage of all other business. Thu new rate would make the toll two cents, Mr. Wauintmaker has probably forgotten that it costs two cents to send a message by his department, if special deliv ery is reiuired ten cents more. What, except perchance a Meeting notoriety can Mr. Wan nauiaker hope to derive from i this war on the telegraph coiup.i- , nies? It is an essential principle j of this government to pay for i what it gets fair compensation, I whether it he to a lahorer or to a , powerful monopoly. In this case, should Mr. Wana maker succeed about .flO.UUU per an num wilt be saved. It would cost the government $100,000 at least, to defend thu suit. For mer postiiiuster-gonerals have never questioned thu justice of the rate at leu times what Mr. Wannauiaker proposes to make it.

Milling Iwjv. looutiun uutiiMM for a!u CONSUMPTION. (riiTiusis.) Fifty Thousand People Did Annual ly From H. IN THE MIDST OK LII'E VK ARB IN DEATH." A Whole Atmy Picked From the Choicest. Ortoln. At the bead of diseases of our climate stands consumption as their head both as it respects prevalence nnd fatality. Sniall jHix, yellow fever and cholera aro terrible in their visitations; but what are all their aggregated slaughters compared with tho ceaseless, silent march of this full disuse, which steals nwny in their fresh prime the brightest and the Itest? It is ascertained on good authority that from 50, 0C0 to OO.OtX) die annually from consumption. What an army! Picked from the choicest! All sundered from life untimely, nnd leaving more blight nnd sorrow i.ehinil than would perhaps twice or thrice the number whom any other pestilence would havo se lected. The magnitude of tho evil places the question of tho remedy before all others that lertain to the healing art. Catarrh is often the forerunner of consumption. The symptoms of a patient suffering" from ca tarrh of the throat and bronchial tubes are the symptoms of con sumption in its early stages. It has been part of the" faith of tho medical profession as well as it universal popular belief, that neither catarrh nor consumption could be cured. The Drs. Darrin havo proved by their system of eluelro-mag-uetie treatment that catarrh can be cured, and also consumption in its early stages. Thoy havo the secret of the new cure for consumption by rectal injection now being practiced in many prominent hospitals with great success, and is pronounced by the most eminent medical author ities us the only cure known. As catarrh is most always its first and earliest symptom', ami is the chief cause of asthma, oronchitis and deafness; and al so produces serious results in the scusus of smell, hearing, sight or taste, it should never, under any circumstances, be neglei ted, as it is the most treacherous and in- idious of all diretises, nnd t.evor emeu itself, but grows torco. 1 he Drs.
