The redoubtable Bob Ingersoll once reninrked that statistics are playing sad liavoc with the antiquated notion of special providence. In the same way the census is playing wild riot with the lime worn claims of the east to lord it over the rest of creation. The scepter of power is fast passing into the hands of the west, as the remarkable series of victories recently won for western in-terests fully exemplifies. The debate and the volo on the duty on lead ore in the senate is a most significant proof of this fact, second only in importance to the passage of the silver bill itself. Thus while the effete vast is either stagnant or retrogading it is the bound-ing west that not only receives but fur-nishes employment for the surplus of brain, brawn and enterprise that migrate hither. In the reapportion-ment that will follow the census the west will largely predominate over the east in the house of representatives, and though the east has some advantage in the senate, owing to the diminutive size of many of the states, yet the admission of the two Dakotas, Montana, Washing-ton, Idaho and Wyoming has changed the aspect of things even in that austere, grave and zealous body until now a Jones, Teller or Stowart can wield an influence equal to that of any old fossil who has hitherto monopolized this privilege by right of the senatorial poo-ha- called tradition or usage. Westward the star of empire takes its way, and the lirst dawn is breaking over tho Wasatch mountains. Greater in area, population,, resources and wealth than most of her neighbor sis-ters, she must sunn have a voice in the council of the nation from which noth-ing but a silly contest at home bars her out at present. With the inllow of eastern nitfn and ideas this contest will exhaust itself, and the state of Utah will swell the prestige and power of the vast empire known as the west. THE SALT LAKE TIMES. By T.

A railroad grader near Crescent City recently unearthed two bottles cf whisky which had been buried thirty years. Cupid has captured Farmer S. W. Jones of Marion county, who was bun-coed out of $.)000 recently by sharpers, who knew he wanted a wife and put up a job 011 him. A few days ago his children applied for a guardian for him. Friday Jones, who is i0 years of age, married Hiss Cynthia Ella Harbin. 'I he lady is fair, frisky and 80, and is said to be iiappy in her choice. She is quite a belle, and thinks Jones just loo pert. Jones is credited with saying that he had his pick out of forty, ana that Miss Harbin was tho best of the lot. Tho Humboldt county, Cal., natural history and urchieological society, says tho Times, has been presented by John Fleming wiih what appears to be a pet-rified apple. While not having been turned to stoue, it has changed so that it resembles a piece of Iron wood both iu hardness and color. A sharp knifn makes very little impression upon it, it is doubtful if a nail could be driven into it. The apple was grown in tho Mattolo valley about seven years ago, and after picking was stuck full of cloves and put away to see how long it would keep sound. Gradually it began o harden and darken in color. The skin became almost black, while the in-side retained its light color, although to all appearances the core is as hard as tho outside. This apple has never been under ground, but has been exposed to ihe air, and the hardening must be due to some peculiar action of the atmos-phere, assisted possibly by a chemical action of the cloves with which it was tilled. THE TWO DAKOTAS. Otto Grant of Lead City says there is a belt of refractory ore averaging be-tween $13 and $14 per ton, extending fnom Terraville to lead; and it will pay to handle it now. A mastiff dog made a savage attack on John Duncan, a drayman at Grand Forks, biting him severely in two pla-ces. John brought a revolver to his as-sistance and laidthc canine low. In Hermosa, Charles Robertson's lit-tle daughur was playing with matches in tho stable th other day, and, as a consequence, set fire to the hay, de-stroying his long stable and quite a quantity of hay., Bil y Williams, mail clerk between Pierre and Tracy, received a severe shock from a stroke of lightning that occurred while he was in Terry. The boll struck n loundhouse nearby where he was standing. A youth of twelve or fourteen sum-mers, named Melin, residing in East Graud Fork, loaded a gun with corn, intent on killing a dog. Preparatory to rominittiug the deed he rested the muzzle of the gun on his foot. The gun went off so did his great toe. Sioux Falls is asked to give $50,000 and the necessary land to an edge tool manufactory to locate there. The con-cern has secured eight patents at a cost of $80,000, having $50,000 capital stock, and are look'ng for a location. Tho company, if located there, will employ from 800 to 1000 men.

Abner Dorsett.a negro living in Hick-ory Mountain township, N. C, has the largest head of any person in the United States as far as heard from. It is thirty-tw- o inches iu diameter, and sives Abner a decided "too-beavv- " ar- - pearance. A large,-chcstn- tree, measuring eighteen feet iu circumference at the base, was struck by lightning in Mr. Mercier's pasture field, near Frederick, Missouri, and split in the center fr.ini top to bottom. There was no slonn at the time. A drake owned by a Neversink, Berks county, N. Y. man, killed and de-voured fourteen chickens one day. Dur-ing tho summer lixty youug chickens and ducks huvo been missed, and it is safe to say that they were gobbled by bis drak?ship. ' A schoWigirl iu France died recently from a curious cause. At the distribu-tion of prizes she obtained a laurel wreath colored green. She thought-lessly put tho painted leaves in lar mouth, aud died afterward from , the effect of the poison. The wire to be used for the telephone between Paris and London is made of bronze. It is estimated that the French share of the expouso of establishing the telephone will be about $130,000. En-thusiasts believe that all the telegraphic communication will be superseded. A house iii Georgetown, D. C, has Just been shingled for the first time since 1803, and the carpenter says that he found sawed shingles that had been laid within ten years in much worse con-dition than the shaved pine shingles which had been in wear eighty-seve- n years. A retired English army officer of means is on a tour through tne western states of America. When he sat down to dinner a day or two ago he met with quite a surprise. The waiter who took bis order was his sou, who had run away from home to scalp Indians some seven years ago. A boy named John Hale, who was stolen from his home near Marion Ind., five years ago, when eight years old, by gypsies recently ran away from them and made his way home. The parents had searched far and wide for him, and had given him up for dead. He says the gypsies maltreated him. Mrs. Polly Downey lives at Thermal, Fresno county, California.

The American nation is being dis-criminated ngainst by one who would never, never, never be suspected of such treason as he is showing. By whom? Why, by Bill Cody, the pictur-esque, long-haire- d Bill Cody, so dear to the hearts of the children of men. By Bill Cody, the man who has scalped "redskins" with a reckless abandon and who has shot "renegade whites" with a degree of nonchalanco which would be charming to contemplate, only that it is so distressingly and vulgarly bloody. By Bill Cody, tho man who owes all to tho American peoplo and that American institution, the Fiv$ Cent Library. And what has Cody done? Listen. Ho has worked his way through the Country Bhowing tamo wild Indians and broncos trained to buck at just the proper moment, and long-horne- cattle which chase mercenarily civilized cow-boys according to a schedule agreed upon, and he has called it a Wild West phow. And we that is that part of us living in New Jersey and other places .whr,re none but cigar store Indians ever thrivo have Hocked to him and called him an oasis in a dreary land and have paid large and robust foes at the gate and have considered what we saw as a legitimate picture of western life. True, it seemed at times that the cowboys ought to have rcf rained from wearing white shirts and silk hats for at least an hour after the show was over; but then we were considerate, thinking leather clothes might be un-comfortable, anyhow. And now? Well, Bill Cody is in Hamburg today, and so is Dr. Carver, who is running a rival wild west show, The cable tells us that their rivalry is so intense that bloodshed is imminent. They are tearing down one another's bills; Hamburg Is filled with a howling mob of Indians and cowboys who are just waiting for a chance to scalp one another. Such a- jealous feeling has been aroused between the Indiau and cowboy followers of the principals that serious troublo is expected at any mo-ment. Cowboys are shooting other rnwlinvi nn tlin filmof nnrl Ttwlinvta iia dancing death songs around the furn-ished rooms where other Indians are living. Altogether a riotous aud truly western and bloody time is on. Now, what do' you think of that? Here Is Bill Cody, a citizen and pre-sumably a white man, who has made money, money, money iu America with a fake exhibition of bloody warfare, loaliug around in a foreign country and giving people with whom he has nothing in common the benefit of tho real ar-ticle. His actions tacltlv noknnvl,lm( that warm water is good enough for his own countrymen, tho while ho serves up hot, seething blood to foreigners. We feol that he has cheated us. No Cody cowboy was ever killed for tho delectation of American spectators; no Indian was ever really aud truly scalped in full view of the audience here. Ho gave us an exhibition of emasculnted warfare which would mako ji levee roustabout tired, and now, in the full-ness of his contempt for us, tenders tho Germans the best he has in the shop. Wo went to soo battle and he gave us baled hay. If this isn't discrimination, what do you call it? If auy cowboys or Indians are to be killed, tho killing ought to bo done hero where the small boy may en- - joy it and tho strong man may bo com-forted. Cody has done and is doing a grievous wrong, but we will be even yet, you bet. When he returns we will sot the sanitary inspector on his trail and make him wash his Indians, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will see to it that his poor, overworked wild cattle aro turned out to pasture. MONTANA NOTES. The opera house at Miles City is with out a manager. , The biggest poker game in many years took place at Forsyth on Thurs-day night, and at ono time during the 'game $11000 was on the table. Mathlas Edleman, the Red Lodge jew-eler, had his trunk broken open while in transit to Red Lodge on the North-ern I'acilic railroad nnd had all the jewelry that was in the trunk stolen. This will necessitate the jeweler in mak-ing a new order for both goods and tools. The Black Diamond saloon at Red Lodge was the scene of a serious cutting affray Wednesday evening about b o'clock. Gus Lake aud Andrew Keno, two Fiulanders, got into an altercation about some trivial matter nnd Lake drew his knife and stabbed Kcno in the abdomen, inflicting an ugly wound. Lake was arrested and held to await the action of the grand jury. And now a Chinaman has started a restaurant at Bo.einan, which they tell us, is being liberally patronized. If some of the patrons were to find them-selves compelled to compete with the same Chinaman for the bread they eat, they would rcalizo iu a measure the enormity of the Chinese question to this and future generations ot the English, speaking people and do their all to force tho Chinamen out of tho country. Chronicle. Tim Salt Lake mining stock ex-change, after a month's rest, will re-sume operations on next Monday, with renewed life and vigor. Several now tines of stock will he listed, and it is expected that a lively business will bo transacted. The Globe-Doinocr- admits that tho federal election bill is dead. It will (some up again, however, says the same papcr.for caucus deliberation, of course, but even its most rabid champions now boo that it can not be passed, and no lerious attempt will bo made to bring It up. TnE Calumet & Hccla copper mine, In Michigan, has paid $34,880,000 in Cash dividends during the past twenty years. It produces 60,000,000 pounds of copper per annum, and it is claimed that the present rate of production can be doubled and maintained for forty years. We had supposed that greenbackism was too dead to skin, but wo were mis-taken. It is alive barely alivo. Just fifty persons attended tho national con-vention at Indianapolis. The conven-tion favored united action with all third i parties that agree on the fundamental principles of the greenback party to speedily and practically provide good money. This is indeed refreshing. What is the matter with the silver dol-lar? WASHINGTON NOTES. October 8 has been set aside by the managers of the Spokane Falls exposi-tion as Graud Army day. Wugous loaded with wheat are be-ginning to line tho streets of Walla Walla. The crop is said to be good in that locality. A reward of $200 has been offered for the recovery of tho body of Miss Lizzie Naorum, who was recently drowned near Snohomish. Betting only will be allowed at the race track during the coming meeting at Tacoraa. All other forms of gam-bling will be prohibited. The postoflice department has made an nddition of $'.'000 to the allowance for clerk hire at tho Spokane Falls post-offic-making tho total $0100. Anacortes is making a desperate effort to secure tho great Alger sawmill, wh'ch is to be built at some point on the Sound, and wliich will give employ- ment to 500 hands. Tho Orton Oracle says that T. F. Pat-to-who has two acres of blackberries on tho Upper Pullayup, estimates this season's crop at U0O0 pounds, for which he has been offered 13 J cents a pound, or for the entire produrt of his two acres, $l'.'00. The Walla Walla Statesman savs the convicts at the pen became very noisy in their cells last Tuesday and the guards had to lire several shots in tho air to make them haul in their horns. Every ono of them had blood in his eye. Tho cause for the recent disturbance by tho convicts is staled by thorn to be im-proper treatment by the officials. Com-missioner Paine has been interviewed by them, and complaints m writing will be made by the convicts aud read at the next meeting of tho board of com-missioners, A sad occurrence at the city cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, says the Walla Walla Union, was tho sudden heart seizure of Mr. Koykendall. father of the late V. S. Coykeudall, who, in com-pany with his two daughters, arrived on Tuesday morning from Tacoma to attend tho funeral of the son and brother. As the funeral was standing about the grave Mr. Coykendall was noticed to sway slightly, and then with-out warning fell prostrate by the grave insensible. Dr. W. C. Blalock, who was present, was immediately in atten-dance, and the gentleman was carefully conveyed to the resideme of Mrs. Cora-wal- l, where he is now in a convalescent condition. The fact that some people claim that tho stringency in the eastern money market is due to tho silver bill causes the St. Louis Globe-Democr- to assert that the bullion act is as guiltless of producing this condition of things as it Is of bringing about the tornado at Wilksbarru. t Tho Globe-Democr- cor-rectly explains the chief causes of the high prices of money as follows: "The large merchandise importations wliich have been made in the past two or three months in order, to escape the increased duties proposed in the y bill have sent gold outward, the holdings of the banks in the financial center of the country, made manipulation of the money market easy and safe, and put rates up." STltELT I'AVINO. ( The Main street property owners are taking a proper course in regard to pav-ing that thoroughfare. They are thoroughly discussing the matter before taking any definite steps. A great many of them seem to favor asphalt. It is true that asphalt makes a splendid pavement This has been demonstrated in other cities. The main objections to asphalt is that it is rather costly and that it needs considerable repairs, but it is very easily repaired. In the long run a good stone pavement is the cheap-est, and it certainly is preferred for streets on which there is heavy traflic. Stone for a retail street is a great nuisance on account of the noise. .The property owners who favor asphalt ore largely influenced by the idea that Utah asphalt can be used for paving purposes. This is a matter yet to be determined, however. If Utah asphalt is properly treated it is believed that it can be util-ized for street paving. It certainly should be given a fair trial, and if successful it will be a great thing for Utah, as our product can then be pushed into the market all over the country in compe-tition with Trinidad asphalt, which is now extensively used. No End to a New Building. Atchison Globe, , If you once get to building, vou never get through. Wo thought' weeks ago we wore through, but every two or three days a mysterious looking man will come along with a box of tools in his hand, drive a nail somewhore, and go out. In a few days more, when we have concluded that we have seen tho last of the builders, another man conies along with a new color of paint, and paints a streak on the wall, and goes out. We do not know what this u means, or how long it will last, but it seems to be a part of the work, so we try not to appear surprised, and ask no questions when a new man with a new kind of tool in his hands comes in. A Fair Dog Tale. A shepard dog fell into a dry well in Oglethorpe county, Georgia. A young man wlnt to the canine's rescue, and as soon as the animal heard his voice, went iuto raptures of delight. The man procured a rope long enough to reach the bottom of the well, and' lowering it was surprised to see the dog grasp the end firm in his mouth and hold on until he was drawn to the top. The dog had received no serious injuries, and, being given a hearty meal, was as frisky as ever. , ; James Carbaugh, a collier, living in tho mountain near Mont Alta, Md., kill-ed eighty-sen- . copperhead snakes a few days ago. |
