WAR TALK IN KUHOPE.
London, April 21. A Vienna dis.
patch says that armed bauds are ap
pearing in the Dabrudscha. They
appear to be Itusslans and refugee
Bulgarians, uud they hover between
the Russian nnd Bulgarian frontier.
The ltoumanlail government evi
dently friendly to Russia, is not
Interfering with them, and tho Rou
manian newspapers are publishing
severe attacks upon Prince Ferdi
nand's government. The Rouman
ian army Is being armed with the
same weapons as tho Russians, and
theofllccrs are permitted freely to
inspect the troops and fortresses.
The new ministry is strongly philo
Russian and has entirely overturned
tho policy of General Lane, the late
premier. Russian Influences prevail
in every department, and it is re
ported that a treaty is In negotiation
between Rti'sia und Roumauia simi
lar to that with France. This would
place at the disposal of the Russians
nearly 300,000 Roumanian troops
uud a small but eflective fleet, the
Roumanian army being more thuu
double that of Bulgaria. Berlin ad
vices state that the position of Eng
land in the event of war is eagerly
discused. The opinion is freely
x pressed in well-formed circles that
Knglnnd would piobably not inter
fere unless Egypt or some British
possession would be threatened by
franco Russian allies. It is also
state,! that Russia's finances are In
good condition, and better thnn at
any tlme.jWithin ten yeais. The op
ponents of wur, and of the Austrian
alliance are auxions to see Bismarck
lu theri'iehstag, as they believe his
influence might prevent Germany
from taking any part in the struggle
when It comes. The war question
seems to be mixed up with the
Austro-German commercial ques
tion, aud Bismarck is understood to
be opposed to both.

A startling state of affairs was re
vealed at a meeting of farmers liv
ing along Cherry creek, above
Denver. It was developed that
Denver nnd the residents of Cherry
creek valley were tlweatened with a
disaster similar to that which occur
ed at Johnstown, Pa., two years
ao. The object of the meeting was
to bring it to the notice of the pen
pic of Denver. It seems that the
Denver Water Storage Company
lias just finished a reservoir thirty
live miles above this city to supply
water to an immense tract of arid
land, which tho company lias se
cured control of. The dam is sixty
Jive feet high, aud drains 300 square
miles of country, while the capacity
of l he reservoir is many millions of
gallons. The trend of tho Cherry
ereek basin is sucli that if the dam
gave way, the whole of this Im
mense quantity of water would
rush down upon the city of Denver,
entailing a frightful loss of life and
uronertv. The homes of hundreds
of ranchmen in the Cherry creek
baIn would, also bo swept away,
aud the latter, therefore, held an
indignation meeting to see if any-,
thlugcnn bedoueiu the matter. It
is stated nt the meeting that the
vmt water pressure In the dam has
i I ready forced several streams
hrmifih It. The fnrr.iers claim to
have dug down and found the dam
was built upon quicksand instend of
upon bedrock. They also say that
li,or material was used in construc
tion of the dam. The charges are
denied by the company's officers,
who say that $450,000 was expended
upon the work, and that it was well
done, ft is believed tho matter will
lie brought to the supreme court
immediately.

berries, leads the editor of this paper
to say that ho does not know of a
SUPERIOR BERRY IN FINKN'ESS OF

THE MATTESON.
He has cecii red the sole agency

Wilson. Ripens all its fruit quickly
and is gone by the time the Wilson
is in full blast. Tho berries are as
larjro as the Wilson, but it does not
"run to nubbins" so much. It is of
a deep red color all over and all

bearing close to the plaut, thus offu
escaping early frosts which kill
others (the Sharpless especially.) It
Is easy to pick aud easily hulled. It
is lh in and the most meaty berry we
nave ever seen. It produces equal

Wilsons, 'Don't eat these. Walt
till you get on tho other side; there
are two rows of the best berries.'
Aud we had to pick those two rows
ourselves early in the morning to
save any of them, and to keep pick

would not touch Wilsons if they
could get these, and if pickers do
not know what good berries are, no
