A U«t Race hr i Big Slake.
\ iifiliia (Xev.) Chronicle.
Twenty nine year* ago St. Jos
eph, Mo., was the western termi ,
mis ot the railway systems of the
country. Beyond St. Joseph the
»tage coach, ox team ami kindred
methods of ’reimportation were re
sorted to for the purpose of main
tnining communication with the
Pacific slope. This coast was hy
that time pretty well settled, and
business men began to wish for a
rapid mail service.
In the winter of 1800 Wall
Street was at work in Washington
endeavoring to get a subsidy of
♦ 10.000.000 for carrying the mails
overland one year between New
l*>rfc and San Francisco.
William H. Russell, backed up
1>.V Secretary of War Floyd, look
cd upon the scheme as a very ex
iravagant proposition aud said
i hat he could put on a mail line
In.in San Francisco to St. Joseph
'.hat would cover the distance—
l.OoO miles—in ten days. Socon
fidenl was lie that he professed
himself willing to wager $200,000
on tlie proposition.
The schemers for tiie big mail
contract fell bound to meet the
bluff, and took up the wager,
April 8, 1SCQ being fixed as the
date for starling. A. U. Miller,
Russell's partner, was positive
that a pony express could he cs
lablishcd which would enable
Russell to win his prodigious
wager. There was no time to be
lost, and Miller set about his task
with energy.. He purchased 300
of the fleetest horses iic could pro
cure and secured the services of
125 men. Eighty of these men
were selected as post-riders, and,
of course, were especially chosen
for their light weight—the ligiiter
the man the better for the horse,
as some parts of the route had to
he covered lit the rale of twenty-
live miles per hour. In establish
ing the relays the distance in each
instance was determined hy the
character of the country.
As a rule the horses were sta
tioned from ten to tjventy miles
apart and each rider had to make
sixty miles. Two minutes were
allowed for changing the animals
and shifting tkc mails. If tin-
stage stations were not at proper
intervals a tent was putupsuf
licienl to accommodate one man
and two horses. By the day set
for the starting everything was in
readiness, and before the smoke
cleared away from the muzzle of
the signal gun on the steamer Sac-
rctncnlo at the hour of noon, April
8, 1SU0, Billy Baker mounted on
Border Rullian, Miller’s famous
saddle horse, dashed away to
wards the Sierras, covering his 20
miles in forty nine minutes.
Deep snow lay in the mountain
passes, and to Salt Lake Valley
slow time was made, so that from
the valley on it was necessary to
■nuke extra fast speed to win the
huge wager.
All went well until the crossing
at Julcsburg was reached. To
his dismay the courier found the
l’latlc river high up in its banks
and a strong current running.
Fearlessly horse and rider plung
ed into the turbid stream,i»t on
ly the man reached the opposite
hank, liis gallant steed mired
in the quicksands and was drown
ed. Tlit courier saved his prec
ious mail-pouch and had to walk
ten miles to the next relay sta
tion.
Johnny Fry was one of the fa
mons men of his day on the V>or
der. TnHgh and wiry, he was
as light as a cat, and as a rider
he never knew an equal. To him
fell the duty or riding the last six
ty milos of the long race. He had
six thorough-bred horses to do it
with.
When the courier arrived at the
sixty mile post out ofSt. Joseph,
he was one hour behind time.—
Johnny had to make up that lost
hour or the wager was lost. Mil
ler considered all this when he se
lected Johnny Fry to make the
final dash.
As the hour drew near for Fry’s
arrival at St Joseph thousands of
people lined the river bank, gaz
ing with feverish expectancy in
tho direction of the woods from
which the horse and rider should j
emerge into ti/e open country one'
mile from the finish.
Seven minutes more and the
wager would he lost, when sud
denly a bright eyed youngster
caught sight of the anxiously
looked-for courier, and the yell
that went up from the crowd
readied the cars of the rider a mile
away.
Horse and rider fairly flew on
the wings of llic wind. Feathery
flecks of foam streaked the pant
ing flanks of the noble steed ns
she, with wide distended am!
blood red nostrils, bore the cour
ier to his journey's end, covering
the last mile id one minute and
fifty seconds. The little mare
Sylph had won tire wager, and
there were five minutes aud a
fraction to spare.

For several weeks there have
been on exhibition in the office or
the Clerk of tl)e Sti|ierior G’otfrl
samples of pulp made of the hulls
and stalks of the cotton plant,
l’he pulp is ns while as snow and
can be converted into the finest
writing paper. It is regarded as
valuable and is tl.e product of
parts of the cotton plant hitherto
deemed valueless.
The process by which it is made
is new. It is a process by which
the ligneous substances of the
hulls and seed are dissolved. By
this process over 50 per cent of
the fibre is extracted from the
hulls which have (icon regarded
as fit only for fuel in the mills, or
for feed and fertilizing purposes,
and which were sold for $1 a ton
These converted into pulp will he
worth ten limes as much, or about
$40 a ton. From the stalks us
ually left to rot in the fields this
new process utilizes about 38 per
cent, of fibre at a very small cx
pense. It has been settled that
there arc fertilizing properties in
the oil of the cotton seed, and it is
asserted that the fibre will not
decompose for six years, and can
not he used as a fertilizer. This
is why the woody mallei' eliminat
ed from the stalk and hull is
much more valuable as a dccom
posing fertilizer tiian the entire
seed. By the same process the
ramie plant and its troublesome
cousin, the bagasse stalk, is met
and overcome. By the dccorial-
ing process the fibre was crushed
and lorn out l>v a slow and expen
sivc process. In the new process
the ligiue is simply dissolved out,
and the suowyjiilms of the ramie
and the tawnier threads of the
sugarcane arc coaxed out as casi-
!y as the infantile kitten to its
milk.
These specimens have been
shown to prominent citizens ol
Allanta by Mr. Walter T. Forbes,
who has bought all rights for the
entire South. Mr. Forbes takes
pleasure and pride in showing the
samples and explaining the modus
operand! of the wonderful process.
Among the specimens are four or
five varieties of pulp extracted
from the cotton hulls, from the
stalks, from the lintings and dusl-
lugs of the cotton mills, fiom the
cactus plant, from the saw pal
metto, and the ramie plant.
Mr. Forbes is biiinlul of en
thusiasm, and does not hesitate
to say that the new process will
revolutionize the methods of the
cotton planter. He believes it
will make llic cotton crop 50 pci
cent, more valuable than it now
is. Mr. Forbes has been all
through Texas, Louisiana, Mis
sissippi and Arkansas, and lit-
met with encouragement every
where. He contemplates eslah
lisliing mills at half a dozen places
in the South. Of course Atlanta
is one of these points. Moneyed
men of this city, to whom he lias
explained the nature of the in
vention and shown the products,
have expressed their confidence
in his enterprise and will coop
erate with him in pushing it for

For several months G. W. Fatter
son, who claims to he a regularly
ordained minister, has been hold
ing meetings there. From the
first he had a following which
grew in fanaticism and numbers.
lie became holder and bolder in
his preaching, until finally lie an
nounced the coming of-Christa
second time. A negro named A.
J. Brown, a helper of I’atterson’s,
was announced as the one who was
to he the incarnation of Christ —
Strange to say, there were many
believers, and when Brown an
nounced that in order to complete
liis work he must go into the
mountains and last forty days,
enthusiasm knew no hounds.—
Brown disappeared, and so far as
outsiders know, was not in com
munication with any of his dupes.
Last Sunday was the day fixed
fur the expiration of the long fast
and a multitude assembled. A hu
man sacrifice in the person of Al
lie McLung had been prepared.—
The day was rainy and gloomy,
but the faithful regarded this as a
good omen. In tlie afternoon
Brown suddenly appeared and a
wonderful sec-ue ensued. Men
and women embraced and bowed
down to him. liis Teel were kiss
ed, and the sick and lame asked
lor healing. The proceedings be
en me so saci Regions that outsi
ders interfered and a bloody light
followed, Brown and Patterson
only escaped death hy rushing to
tlie latter's house, where they bar
ricadeil themselves. Disorder
continued far into the night.—
Brown’s followers claimed that on
ly his great goodness prevented
him from slaying all his assail
ants. On Monday letters hearing
skull, crosshones and coffin were
sent to Patterson, Brown and llic-ir
leading followers, ordering them
to leave the country at once on
pain of death. Patterson at once
sent to Sheriff Conners for help.
The sherifT went on Tuesday and
learned that the citizens had de
termined to drive the fanatics out,
and Thursday, the 21sl, is fixed
as the.limit for tbeirslay. The
wildest stories are afloat. It is
said that Brown has raised one
dead person, and it is charged
that two human sacrifices have
been offered. Excitement readied
such a pilch to day that the slier-
ill'sent fifty armed men there.—
The prospects arc for the biggest
and bloodiest tragedy this section
lias known for years.

A Prohibition Victory.
Kansas Citt, Mo., June 28.—
After the most exciting 1-cal op
tion fight ever known in Missouri
the prohibitionists of Independ
ence. tlie county scat of this coun
ty. and the oldest town ib Missnu
ri, won a great victory yesterday,
carrying the election by over 2,000
majority and ending the sale of
liquor for four years. Women
were everywhere at the polls, at
the lunch stands on the street cor
ners, wearing silk badges and
with “dry” ballots In Ibeir hands.
Girls stood at the polls aud at
every voting place was a banner
on which was inscribed.- “Tem
perance Beaux or No Beaux at
All!” Free dinners were served at
the polliug places. Hundreds of
children carried banners through
tlie streets and about the voting
precincts. Some of these were in
scribed:
•'Sow whisky ballots and reap
drunken boys.”
“Young men, keep your record
clean.—J L. Gough.”
“Rum, revenue and rags.”
“Ruin ruins tlie reasoning.”
“Vote as you pray.”
“For God, home and native
land.”
The legend. “We can’t vote, but
we can suffer,” was carried by
women in a parade and occupied
a prominent place in each ward
precinct. Many of tlie best peo
ple ol the town were interested in
the contest, and it was no infre
quent sight to sec young girls
with a horse and phaeton covered
with streamers bringing in gen
tlemen to vote for local option
In the first ward, where there was
a large colored population, it was
expected there would lie a large
wet majority, but both sides
worked hard, and the “drys'
gained a great victory. It was
here the light centered and where
lue women stood all day, even
though the weather was unpleas
ant. The Mormon church, which
has ovqr a hundred voters, voted
unanimously in favor of prohibi
lion. The temperance people
had a grand celebration at night.

In the yeai 187S I was attacked with a
severe ease of Blood Poison that defied
all treatment. I went to several physi
cians but found no relict'. Finally 1
went before a Board of Physicians at
Tallahassee and was examined, and mv
case was declared to be a virulent case of
Blood Poison, ami all the medicine they
jaVc me failed to eradicate tlie dreaded

came from various sores was so offensive
that I disliked to come in contact with
my friends ami neighbors. I took thirty-
two Kittles of an Atlanta Blood Purifier,
also a lot made in Baltimore, and in fact
everything that Icoui-1 hear of. but re
ceived no benefit. I had entirely de
