to hear from the bank Lowit z axket
liiin to cash a similar cheek for S20H
Wallace accommodated linn. Th<
next day the lu st check came hael
to Wallace marked worthless. Wal
laeo says that when he asked Lowit:
to make good the checks Lowitz sail
that he had a lot of diamonds in i
pawn shop, and that if Wallaci
would advance the money to redeen
the stones he would sell tl.em am
more than repay Wallace. Wallace sah
that lie gave Lowitz a chock for SI,
100. Lowitz redeemed the diamond:
and sold a few of them, hut did nol
repay him any part of the S250 hi
had advanced him on the hogu:
cheeks. Then Lowitz said to him:
"You are in a box, my boy. Jim
I'm troiiig in the hookinakimr husi

Wallace says 1 hat Lowitz had n<

SILVER TRIUMPHS.

Common <Jr<ititi<l,
Wahiiinoton, Jiiue 17.?Harrison,
Ivt?mI unci Sherman were turned
down l>y the Somite this afternoon,
f when that l>ody passed a free coinage
bill, by a'vote of 4:t to 24, and they
made the silver certificates legal
. tender.
Indeed, the administration was
defeated on every turn, and the
1 predictions made in this eorres|K>n*
denee, two weeks ago, haveeoiue true
1 to tllO letter.
There was no; mincing matters by
the Southern and Western S^A^tors.
They came out squarely for tnf^free
coinage of both gold and silver, and
> although the president, Windoin,
. Heed, Sherman, and all the other
4 gold bugs, made the greatest effort
to forco jtlie Western ltopubliCADS
. into line, they were unsuccessful,
tuul Plumb's free coinage amendment
t<? the House bill went through with
4 n whoop.
Now the bill will go to u conference
: committee, where Tom Rood ox]>eets
' to get the Senate to agree to a com
v promise under the threat that liar
rison will veto a free coinage bill, but
v it is hardly probable that the Senators
will allow themselves to be bulldozed
by Itcod, csjiocially as they know
' that a free coinage bill would now
!' pass the House by a very large majority.
The Senate's action has placed
(he free coinage Republicans in
v. the House in a position where they
1 can now vote with their convictions.
1 and even Reed could not now hold
L> them in line if the matter was before
J the House.
1 NOT A FAIR COUNT.

I With llio Census Work.
> Ciiari.kston, S. June lit.?There
t is widespread discontent here about
the result of the census enumeration,
t and there is good reason for believing
that the work has been loosely
done. Several of the enumerators
gave up their work, and therefore
> the time will be extended at least un"
I til tomorrow. The white enumcrai.
| tors seem to have done their work
r? pretty thoroughly. Tlio negro enuy
mcralors, on tin- other lmud, seem to
[> have done it very loosely. It is said
that hundreds of families have not.
t been counted. There arc thirty diss-1
i? tricts in the city, each of which was
v calculated to show over 2,000 popula
i tion. Some of these fall from 500 to
[) 000 behind, and it is claimed that
I this is caused by the negligence of
[? the enumerators. Numbers of eases
i have been reported where the enut,
merato has refused to count the
members of a household who had
t been sent to a summer resort in ann
other State after June 1st. A num1
,-berof other eases are reported in
i which the enumerator has never oven
k* halted at the house. The last city
1 census, two years ago, gave a population
of OHjOOO. It is t hought that the
t present census will show a total of
^ not oyer 55.000. It is also said that

count of the cxtrcmo shortness of (
food, which has boon brought partlj '
011 account of overstocked ranges, ot
but mainly 011 account of the long i,u
continued dry weather. There has m(
been 110 rainfall for more than six j,r
months in the southern portion of j)r,
the Territory, ami the consequence
is that the ranges nre bare and brown <}]
and cattle are dying by the hundreds j)(.
daily. The Lyons & Cainpliell Cult uli
tie Company, one of the largccoinpanics
of thiscounty, reports an average jm
loss of about forty head per day. {>n
This company lias shipped several p,
thousand head of cattle within the yt
past two months, as many other p,
com iuu lies and individual owners f0
have done, but the ranges will not
support tho stock now on them unless ];j
there are heavy rains befoie many n,
days to start the grass. 1(,
Some of the oldest ranchmen in or
thi^ country say that if the dry _\1
weather continues a mouth longer cr
they will lone* one-fourth of their
herds. Few catt.le die out on tho m
ranges. Tho grass has boon eaten |j,
down close to the ground in tho vicinity
of all tho water courses and fr,
watering places, and the herds in 0f
some instances ?o miles into the foot JV<.
hills or out on the mesas, where there AJ
is hotter grass to feed. They ro
main out until tlirist drieves them in j*,f
and they drink their till of water af- ]VI

The weaker ones never got up.
Thousands of bloated carcassos of |j.

head would not have netted shippers ct
more than to $8 per head two j,
years ago. As long as such low priees
prevail there were very few eat
tie shippod from {Southern New Mexico,
consequently the ranges became
overstocked. Stock shipments from 13
this Territory this spring hnvo boon n<
unprecedented. For more than two e>
months the Atchison, Topeka A San- hi
ta Fe railroad haH been taxed to its oi
utmost to move stock North, and al- K
though extra crows have been put bi
on and the motivo nowor has boon ?->!
made to do extra duty, the company }]
lias been unable to furnish transpor- lr
tation for stock as fast as it has boon b,
brought in from the ranges. Over li
(">0,000 head of cattle have been ship- ei
pod over the Santa Fc in the past ti
two months from this county alone,
but the shipment of this largo nuin p]
berof cattle lias made 110 apprccin- si
ble improvement in the condition of a
the ranges, and losses from dying hi
stock will continue at tho rate of i<
t housands of dollars daily until there hi
is a good rain fall. In the northern f<
pnrt of the territory there has lieen |<]

the flosses of^ stock sustained by hi

The Corn (Yon nntl Its I*rlecs. ^

In 1807 the corn crop of the United jj
States covered 152,520,219 acres ami ,
amounted to 7(>9T'520,000 hushels, of a
total value of $010,949,i$90. Corn
averaged 80 cents per bushel in that
year and the average value of tho
crop i>er acre was $18.87. In 1887 ,,
the acreage had increased to 75,072,- jji
7?',:j acres and tho crop to 1,987,700,- s.
000 bushels, while the aggregate! val- ^
ue has only risen to $077,501,580.
During this period the value of corn ;
hud shrunk from SO emits per bushel, p
Jind the nere that earned $18.87 in
ISO7 yielded only $.82 in 18K7. Like- <r

levoted to wheat was lx,821,5f?l

212,111,1000 bushels, valued at ,
$121,780,400. The acreage in 1SH7
was 87,0-11,783 acres, ami, although
the crop had more than doubled, to
150,02'.),000 bushels, its value was
only $085,218,000, or $20,548,180 less
than the crop of not half the size in
1807. The average value of the .
wheat erop fell from $1.08 ]>er bushel
in 1807 to 87.8 cents in 1XN7, and the ^
value of the erop per acre decreased
in the same period from $28.05 to s
$10.80. Hye, oats, barley and buckwheat
make a similar, though even p
worse, showing, but corn and wheat, j
as th<* largest crops, arc sutlicicnt to ^
show that the American fanner has
been going down hill, in spite of his p

than the most rabid protectionist

A Snake on nTrestlc. t
Holland, Tex., June 18.?Bud ^
rown, who resides n short distance 1
Di*th of this place, had an exciting
cporicnce a few evenings ago with a
age serpent. Bud, it appears, was
11 his way homo along the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas track, irom this
urg, and ho had just reached a point
limit one and a half miles north ol'
[olland, when he heard a queer beliwing
sound, uimilar to that made
y alligators in the dead of night,
[c looked behind him and sure
aough, saw a sjght that for the
me being rooted him to the earth.
About 1(H) yards in the rear be could
lainly discern a snake of monstious 1
zc. The reptile approached him at :
rapid rate, coming so close to him,
I fact, that Bud, with a shriek of
rror, .jumped from a high trestle,
.nding in soft sand below, escaping
irtunately, with only a sprained anle.
Luckily for Bud, some cattle \vcr,?
razing along the track, whioh tho
ig snake at once attacked, making

nnperate Jwithal, estimates the

ctra engine at Saluda to assist the i
eight trains 011 the heavy grade on t
ryon and Saluda Mountains, a disuico
of several miles. This engine
ids the train both up and down the
lountain, aiding in checking the <
peed of the east, bound trains denuding,
and in pushing tho west '
oil lid sections ascending. It was I
1 charge of Engineer Lewis Tuntall,
one of the most trusted men on
he road, great skill being necessary
o operate on so exceptional an in line.
Last, night about eleven o'clock
he section of through freight No. 11,
asl. bound, came down the mounain,
Tunstall's engine being attached,
besides the engine of the freight
rain. Tunstall should have stopped
vt Melrose, ft station ftt the foot of
,he mountain, but it was fouiul that
lis cngino was unmanageable, and
t vuslied on, carrying tlio other enfine
nn.l t.nuw, .untiL they, left tug..
;rack, and caused a general wreck,
llotli engines and ten freight cars
ivere wrecked. and there was a mas
acre of men- Engineer Tunstall
,vas found dead under his engine,
md his fireman. Will Taylor, a white
nan, was also killed, John Smyers,

1. S. lieaucock, tho flagman, a white
nan, had an arm and leg broken. Ed.
Foster tho colored train hand lost
joth eyes, Will l'oe, white, fireman
111 tho freight engine, hurt his slioullor

Tror of his preference was soon made
nanifest to liiui when the burglai
oachetl the street, for the parrot set,
lp vociferous cries of "fttop thief!"
uitl whistled up all the dogs in the
neighborhood.The thief stooil it as
ong as there seemed the faintest,
show of escaping in spite of it, but at
last, as men, boys and dogs closed
irouiul him, he threw down the cage
md nimbly sped away. Daniel
Shauglmessy was subsequently arrested
by the police. When the trial
comes off in a few days the police
will introduce the parrot as the main
prosecuting witness. The arrested
man, who was at first indifferent, has
been aroused to employ a lawyer, and
declares that he will cheerfully face
judge, jury and jiolice, but never the
tell-tale bird.

Do Yon Know How it KppIhV
Rheumatism. Every one has heard
the word. "How's your Mother?"
Oh, she's well except her rheumatim.
Ifow carelessly the answer is given.
l)o you know how it feels to have
rheumatism? Oh! it's terrible, the
swelling and the excrucating pain of
ankle, knee, elbow and shoulder, just
as if each joint was a bundle of irritated
nerves, each one seemingly
bent on giring more pain than the
other. Laying awake all night longing
fir daylight, aching too serverly
to sleep, applying liniment every half
hour to temporarily relieve tho agony.
1'raying, cursing, turning, twisting,
but no ease, no comfort. What is it
that causes rheumatism? Ah, there
art! a thousand causes. What is it
that cures rheumatism? Thank God,
there is at least one cure. It is called
li. 11. 11., or llotanic Blood Halm.
It has cured more cases of rheumatism
than any other known remedy.
Try it. Do not sutler longer.
J. II. Laing, Dawson, Ga., writes:
"I sutl'ered with rheumatism in my
shoulders ami ; general debility.
Five bottles of 11. 11. 11., improved

J. 1*. DaviH, Atlanta, (Ja., (West
End,) writes: "I consider that 13. 13.
13., has permanently cured mo of
rheumatism and sciatica."
Jacob P. Sponeicr, Newman, (la.
writes. "B. 13. 13., entirely cured mo
of rheumatism in ray shoulder. I used
six bottles."
Cured of Ho-Called Cancer.
Df.au Sin?This is to certify that I
was a sufferer with a placo on my undorlip
for fourteen years, and was un
dor treatment of different physicians,
but they done me no ?ood. I had
lost lu>i>e af boing cured by medical
treatment. I then went to a doctor
living in Florida, who treated them
by art. Aftev going to him it got
well, apparently. f..r" awhile, but
returned as bad as ever. I then con
ciimcd to try t. i. 1. (i'noKiy Ash,
Poke ltoot find Potassium,) and af
ter taking live bottles (pint size) was
cured. I filHo find it to be a good
medicine to give a good appetito and
to givo proper digestion. Yours truly,
L. J. Stbiceland.
