In a few moments the town was aroused and twenty or thirty armed men hurried to the bank. The robbeft were just mounting their horses, and a hot fire was begun, in which Thomas Evan, a ranchman living near the town, was killed. In the melee four of the citizens were wounded, but not fatally. The surviving robbers then rode away with the booty, followed by a posse, which after an hour's chase caught the desperadoes and took them back to Limestone. The leader was found guilty of murder and Strang up. The other two were placed in charge of a strong guard and started for Fort Washitt, where they were turned over to the United States authorities. The stolen money was recovered. Fire hi a stable at Fort Leavenworth suffocated thirty-six heroes belonging to Company I, First cavalry. By an explosion of gunpowder at Brest-Litovski, Russian Poland, eleven persons were killed, and thirty severely injured. At Snowden, Pa., Christian Feick, recently discharged pit boss of the Snowden mines, shot and killed his wife and himself in the presence of six children. Poverty ot the family was the cause.

Social life in Vionna is fast losing 'ts brilliancy, chieflv through the tyr anny of porters. The city is princi ally inhabited in flats, which are pre sided over by a conciergo or porter. This official imposes a tax upon every one who enters the house after a given time, in most cases an early hour at night On this account people stay at home evenings and the streets are de serted. " . - - THROUGH THE FOREST. Tfct Old and Young Danced ill Right- Our Hardy Anoeators. Old men live in the past. Perhaps it wouln be better for the young men of the present, if they lived a littleabit more in the past, and drew less on the future. The log cabins of primitive times would seem very cheerless habitations to the people who live in the finely constructed, furnace heated mansions of to day. But our grandparents took a great deal of comfort in these rude hnies. They wore rugged and healthy. The men had stalwart and hardy frames, and the women were free from the modern ailments that make the sex of to-day practically helpless slaves to hired foreign htlp. White haired grand-sires frequently took their life partners and on horse back rode a score of miles. through the forests to enjoy the lively pleasures of a, frontier ball, danced till daylight, rode home again in the early morning, then nut in a good day a work. Middle-aged folks of to-day couldn't stand thw sort of a racket. To these mud-chinked, JogTcabins doc tore visits were a rarity, lbe in habitants lived to a rugged and green old age. Sometimes these log cabin old-timers were taken ill. They were not proof against all the exposures to which they were subjected. They found the effective remedies for these common ailments in the roots and herbs which grew in the neighboring forests and fields. They had learned that nature has a cure for every ill. These potent remedies assisted their sturdy frames to quickly throw off disease and left no poison in the system. The unpleasant feature of modern practice with mineral medicines is the lniuuous after-effect on the syBtem May not modern physical degeueracy be due to this feature T A druir-saturated system is not in a natural, consequently not in healthy, state. If any of the main orpins are clogged with traces of the mineral poisons used to drive out a particular disease, the whole machin ery of life is deranged and early decay of natural rowers is the inevitable result. There can be no question that rem edies from the laboratory of nature are the best. If they are as efficacious, they have the advantage of leaving no after stxng. Their efficacv. if properly com pounded, and the proper remedy ap plied to the proper disease, will not be doubted. The experience of agti proves it. Their disuse has come about prin cipally through the rapid congregiijn of people in cities and village, render ing these natural remedies difficult to obtain. Progressive business enter prise has lately led to putting these old time remedies within the reach of all classes. The proprietors of Warner's safe remedies, in the faith that the people of to-day would be benefited by using the simple remedies of log cabin days have caused investigations to be made and secured the formulas of a number of those which long and succeisful use had proved to be most valuable. They will, we learn, be known under the general title oi "Warners ixg Cabin Remedies." Among these med icines will be a "Sarsaparilla" for the blood and liver. "Log Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy, for the stomach, etc. "Log Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy, a remedy called "Scalpine, for the hair, "Log Cabin Extract," for internal and external use, and an old valuable discovery for catarrh, called 'Log Cabin Rose Cream." Among the list is also a "Log Cabin Plaster' and a "Log Cabin Liver PilL" A young man covered with the dust f travil walked into a recruiting station In Portland, Me., the other day, and wanted to enlist. lie was examined aid rejected because he weighed only one hundred and twen ty-six poands.

The Salt Lake Tribune, which has to use the word very often, saves type setting by abbreviating polygamy to jtolyg. It sounds rather abrupt, but it means the same thing. Coffee was first used In Arabia about 1420, and was introduced at Cairo in 1530, at Constantinople in 1554, at Venice In 1615, at Paris in 1644, and In London In 1652.

After the marriage ceremony had been per formed she wrote a note to her parents acquainting them with the fact and imploring their forgiveness, tied it to the dog's collar and sent him home. It is interesting to trace the evolu tions of words and expressions. Cul tivated people say How do you dor l hose who are less precise say "Howdy- doo?" In the backwoods of Tennes see they say "Howdy?" The noble red man of the West says "How?" While the cat on the fence says "Ow?" -AortmeA Bulletin. A Philadelphia clergyman, who is intensely annoyed by the squeaky shoes of his congregation, thinks that the reason there are so many noisy shoes in church is that the average cit izen wears his best shoes on Sunday and another pair during the week, and that it takes many Sundays to get the squeak out of a pair of new shoes.

Stone, of Petaluma, CaL, struck her fore leg just above the ankle with her eind foot. burying the cork of her shoe under the ikin. She fell, and while rolling help lessly around was discovered by the owner's son. He tried to free the hind foot by pulling at the fastened leg, but hadn't sufficient strength to accomplish it. Finally the mare ripped the skin off the fore leg down to the heel of the foot, taking a strip off six inches long by four wide. The sinews of her leg were not injured. A young Australian near Bochara. after an unusually hard day's work sheep-shearing, went to sleep on the fitting. room conch after supper. Soon lie arose, walked out into the darkness. went through four gates, which he care fully closed, to the woodshed, and then hung up his coat and took down his diecp shears and sharpened them. Then he caught a sheep and had just finished shearing it. when some of the household came with a lantern. Then it turned out that he had been asleep all the time, and the light of the lan tern awatenea mm. me sheep was sheared as well as though it had been done in broad daylight. From China papers of recent date it appears that the authorities of Fekin hare recently taken a census of the empire, and as it was for taxing pur poses the proneness to disbelieve in the large estimates must be modified ac cordingly. The figures returned by the village bailiffs make the population 319.383,500. which, together with the estimate of five provinces omitted, makes the aggregate about 892,000,000. These figures are independent of the population of Corea, Thibet and Kash- gar. As the population of India ex ceeds 250,000,000, the Hindoos and Chinese constitute more than half the entire human race. Public Opinion. A Boston man has a twin brother living in the West who looks very much like him. The other morning the Bos ton twin, after being shaved, went home and found there his brother, who had just come East. The Western twin needed shaving badly, and, was directed to the barber-shop. He en tered and seated himself, but the bar ber paid no attention to him. "What's the matter with you?" said the West- em twin after waiting long enough, "Why don't you shave me?" "Why. rve just shaved you, said the barber. Much you did," said the twin. "Look at my face." The barber looked at a big, black beard, of a week's growth. felt of it to asm re himself that his eye was not deceiving him, and burst out If yon can raise a beard like that in twenty minutes you'd better go intc the mattress business-" America's Highest Mountain. "The highest mountain In America" must now bo change I from Mount Su Ulias to M-unt Wrangel. a little t the north. Severnl of these mountains have been newly measured. Mount II el, once "fourthly" estimated at 17.000 feet, then "closely" at 16.000, sriis brought down by triangulallon to '3.000; an aneroid barometer made it 12000 and a mercurial barometer 1 1 255. Mount St. Ellas, estimated by D A stele t to be 12.672 feet, is triangu atcd by Mr. Baker to 19,500. It now ippesrs that Mount Wrangel, lying to tho north, rises 18,400 feet above Cop per river, which is in turn 2,000 foei above the sea at that point. If this holds true. Mount Wrangel Is at least 1.000 feet higher than any other peak in North America. It lies within tho Untied States boundary. Natur.
