Country papers that have not been
able to Becure the" county printing under
the new law tkat grants it tp the one in
each county having the largest (Hrcula
tion are nearly all engaged in denounc
ing the lawas a needless expense to the
taxpayers. They forget to say however-
that there is far more glory, than profit,
in being-the "official county paper,"
and very little profit.
.We have it on the very beet authority
that a lobbyist working in the interest
of Paul Mohr, is doing his best with the
committee that has charge of the dalles
portage bill to defeat that measure. The
committee has been assured that the
Paul Mohr road will 1 built during the
coming summer. Of course in that
case, the committee will say the people
don t need another raad.
mere were nve or us m cue utage, ana
fk sixth man had a seat with the driver.
There was a .second lieutenant of cav
alry, a civil engineer,, arid the rest of us
were only common folks who had been
out in the hills prospecting and were re
.turning broken in homes and 'busted"
in pocket. The engineer was a little
man of feminine appearance, and we,
nadn't been together an hour when he
confessed that the bare thoughts of the
stage being held up made him tremble
all over. The officer was a quiet sort of
chap, who seemed to have plenty of
nerve, and though none of us. had much
to lose, we by and by agreed that in
case the stage was stopped we would
make a tight for it. All were new to a
hold hp. but we decided that if we had
any show at all we could make it hot
for the road agents.
The little man at first agreed with our
plan us formed, but later on he broached
one of his own. The driver told us that
the point most likely .to be selected by
the highwaymen would be at a rough
pot in the road, just before it reached a
certain hill, and we were about five miles
. from, the spot, aud darkness had fully
descended when the little man unfolded
his plan. When within a mile of the
spot he was to get out and follow the
stage on foot. , In case it was stopped he
would lie in position to sight the robbers
.and open fire at once.
We jumped on him at once for a flunk
It was simply a scheme on his part to
bolt and save his dollars in case the
agents appeared, and each one gave him
his opinion of such conduct in very
vigorous English. In his soft, gentle
way he replied:
"Gentlemen, you do me " injustice.
Please suspend judgment until you see
now my pian worns. I uo assure you
that 1 firmly expect to kill a robber and
save the staue."
We were too disgusted to argue with
him, and. when he finally got out in ae
'Cordance with his plan, the army officer
'was fain to make a kick at him. We
couldn't tell whether he had bolted back
down the road or was following on, but
we got all ready for a hold np. Every
one of us had -a revolver in hand, and
every one was on the watch, and yet it
came about before we knew it The
horses were still at a walk when a man
appeared at either door of the stage anr
covered us. ' -
At the same moment a third stopped
the leaders and covered the driver and
passenger with a shotgun. It was sim
ply a dead cinch on us, and we were not
over ten seconds realizing it. We had
just got the order to hand up our guns
and step out when there was a pop! pop!
pop! from outside. The brigand at the
right hand window cried out and fell;
the one at the left hand window disap
peared without a sound. There were
three shots more from the front of the
tage, and half a minute later, and be
fore any of aa had moved, we heard the
little man saying: " .
"Gentlemen, it's all over, and yon can
come out."
What had happened? There was a
dead man on one side of the coach and
a seriously wounded , man on the other,
and the third brigand had been driven
away, probably hit by at least one bul
let. All this bad been done by the little -man
and bis little gun,' according, to his
plan, and what made it the worse for us
he didn't appear to have done anything
to feel proud over. We tried to square
ourselves with him, but it couldn't be
done. While he seemed to forgive us,
we realized what his real private opinion
uf five such chumps must be, and we
got away from him at the first stop.

Talrtaen Daring Young Men.
If thirteen young men lawyers and
physicians who have, just organized a
Thirteen club in. this city, can find a
haunted house to meet in they will be
most happy. The' organization is nearly
complete, the bylaws and rule have
been drawn up and adopted,' and . the
only thing lacking is; the haunted house.
If this cannot be found it is proposed to
use the dead house owned by the. town.
Among the roles' art almost everything
superstitious people avoid. The presi
dentisto sit under an' open umbrella
during all meetings and at the quarterly
dinners. A ladder will be raised in the
room, and every member entering will
pass under it. A crosseyed janitor will
be secured, and one of the members
whose hair is fiery red will be obliged to
enter the meeting room first every time
it is opened. -'
A skeleton will be seated opposite the
president at every feast, and two black
cats will be purchased and kept in the
clubroom. Each member takes a solemn
obligation td look at the new moon over
his left shoulder, pass on each side of a
post when, two- are walking together,
walk between any couples who may be
seen talking together on the street, and
do everything contrary to the accepted
custom. , The meetings will be held on
Friday evenings, and if any member has
to make a journey he will start on Fri
day or the 13th of the month. New

Curious Tomb of av Kentncklan.
Several'weeks ago Mr.. Jaines Golden,
a well known lumber dealer of Hick
man, Ky.. -died there and was buried
with a strict conformity with the pro
visions of a . remarkable will.: He had
while in health a strong fear of being
buried alive, fostered probably by read
ing accounts of : the few 'cases of this
kind that are known to have occurred,
and he determined to take no chances in
that line that could possibly be avoided.
He caused a tomb to be erected, and in
that tomb had an opening left on the
east side large enough, for a man to pass
inrougn. imswas covered with glass.
In his .will he stipulated that a strong
Hammer should be placed in the casket
with him, and that the lid of the coffin
should not be screwed down, so that if
by chance he should be consigned to the
tomb before his life was extinct he
might, if he gained power to move,- push
off the lid' and with the hammer break
out the glass in the opening left for the
purpose, and thus escape a. lingering,
horrible death. His instructions were
faithfully obeyed. Friends took it upon
themselves to "watch the tomb and be
near in case the gentleman's fears should
.prove well founded and render him as
sistance. But death came with an un
erring shot, and he still slumbers peace
fully in bis casket. Columbus (Ky.)

Two Queer Names.
When a petition for a new postoffice in
the mountains of Virginia was received
some weeks ago it was found that the
nafle submitted was undesirable. The
petitioners were so notified and requested
to submit a list of names in order of
preference. The new list contained no
names acceptable, and the assistant
postmaster general directed an under
official to select a name himself. The
clerk immediately walked to the. map.
and, locating the ' office, discovered that
there was a mountain hard by named
Purgatory, and the new postoffice' was
given the name of Purgatory. When
the establishing papers were forwarded
to the petitioners, and . they were 're
quested to submit a name for postmaster,
they returned, the name of George Uod
bethere. So that the 'new postoffice of
Purgatory is presided over by George
Godbethere. Baltimore American.
A Jury with Sard Senoe.
From a town almost near enough to
Philadelphia to be called a suburb comes
a story of unique dispensation of justice
bv a iurv from around ahnnt the xrir.ii,.
ity. The 'case was one in which tbe
prosecution was Drought by a young
woman against a young man. Despite
the eloauent dead in a- of the In.
the fair one, the jury rendered a verdict
or acquittal, ana then proceeded to as
sess the defendant a. fonrth nf rhn'nratji'
the prosecutrix a fourth, the 'constable
i . . . . .
wuo arrested me prisoner a fourth, and
the justice of the peace who sent the
case to court a fourth. The judge re
marked that that wasn't much of a jury
for law, but it was strong in the way of
common sense-. Philadelphia Record.
The Phonograph and' the Dumb.
Recent tests in the use of the phono
graph in the deaf and dumb institute at
Indianapolis show that it is useful in
concentrating, sound upon the drum of
the ear, so that many pupils otherwise
deaf can hear it. It is thought by the
superintendent that he can by this
means soon teach the use of their voices
to manv mutes whose inability
is due to the fact that they have never
