“The recent attempt made by some
French aeronauts to reach a great height
above the earth has not been productive
of any paaticular scientific results,” says
the Ismdon fiprttator. “The balloon in
which the ascent was made reached an
altitude of over 20,000 feet without the
occupants of the car experiencing nny ill
effects, except a tendency to faintness on
the part of one of them. When about
twelve years ago a similar attempt was
made, and the height of 20,000 feet was
reached, it was witff fatal results to three
out of the t i.r aeronauts. The success
of the present experiment is explained
by the allegation that the difficulties due
to the rarefaction of the atmosphere
only begin nt an altitude of 23,000 or
21,000 feet. This view seems supported
by the fact that in the Himalayas and
the Andes heights of about 20,000 feet
lave been on several occasions reached
without any inconvenience. In such
cases, however, the ascent has always
been gradual. The ill effects experienced
in balloons are possibly due to the sud
denness of the change.”
The case of James Cline, a young
burglar who was shot in the head re
cently in New York, who was taken to
n hospital, lias become interesting to the
doctors. When lie was taken to the
hospital his whole right side was para
lyzed. The paralysis first disappeared
from tho face. It was thought that he
could not live, but in hope of saving his
life the operation of trephining was per
formed. Throe torn arteries in the brain
wore tied up, but the bullet which had
entered the left side of the head near the
top, could not be found without en
dangering the patient's life. After the
operation tho paralysis seemed to leave
tho right leg, l>ut soon returned. Now
lie is gradually regaining control of his
leg and arm. It was found that the
power of speech had also left him. Thia
is attributed to the fact that that part of
Hie brain which usually appears to con
trol the vocal organs was entirely blown
away or badly lacerated. Cline, the
doctors say, will remain speechless until
some other part of the brain learns to
perform the function of tho destroyed
portion.
Reviewing the year since the earth
quake, the Charleston (8. C.) Arir* says:
“ Between ,I,oooand (1,000 buildings, ex
elusive of churches and public buildings
have been overhauled and restored to
their condition before tho earthquake, or
put in liettcr condition than before.
1\ ithout reference to this large number,
however, 141 buildings have been re
modeled, or rebuilt, nt a cost of over
$lll,OOO, merely for improvement's sake.
New buildings of every kind, many of
them of handsome appearance, have been
erected to meet the growing demand for
residence* and places of business. The
number of these new structures reported
to the City Assessor since September 1,
1886, is 271, ami tho reported cost ol
their construction, which is always below
the real cost, is *450,775. Os the total
amount contributed for the relief of suf
ferers by the earthquake, over *600,000
lias been applied to tho repair of 2,200
houses, mostly the homes of very poor
]XX>plo. Besides this large sum, the
property owners of Charleston have ex
pended for repairs alone about *1,500,000.
two of their iiumbei having expended
*150,000 between them, as shown by the
Asses-or’s books. Altogether, not less
than *3,500,000 it is estimated have been
absorbed in the work of restoration and
improvement of the city in tho space of
the twelve months ending to day, and
the evidences that it has been used to
good purposes are as numerous and plain
on every hand as were the tokens of in
jury a year ago.”

ENTKBED AS
THE OVERLAND EXPRESS
REMINISCENCES OF AN OLD WEST
ERN PONY RIDER.
Experiences in Carrying Treas
ure Across Ihe Plains Before the
Era of tile Railroad.
“It is just twenty-nine years since I
first crossed the Itockics,'' said 11. C.
Page, of Tacoma, Washington Territory,
“and I hardly know what Eastern life
is.”
Mr. Page was the most distinguished
and daring rider of the once-fatnous pony
express riders, and for years had the
general supervision of Washington Terri
tory, Idaho and Oregon for Wells, Fargo
A Co., and the stories he tells of his
hairbreadth escapes and adventures
while carrying gold across the plains
would make ones hair stand on end. To
a Minneapolis Tribune reporter he con
descended to relate a few of his ad
ventures.
“But there Is a mighty change,” he
said, “in that Western country now
from what it was when I was out there
in 1859. In the fall of 1863 I began car
rying express from Kansas City to Silver
City, a distance of 550 miles, and it was
a terrible dreary ride, with only an oc
casional settler fifty or a hundred miles
apart. It was just in the times of the
Indian troubles down there, and the red
skins were everywhere. We couldn’t
ride twenty-five miles without encoun
tering a few of the pesky things, and to
find a messenger murdered, and his scalp
taken and pack yd, was an everyday
occurrence.
“ In the fall of 1866 I left Dallas in
company with a stage-driver named
Wheeler—by the way, a wagon-road had
been completed at that time and a line
of stages was running across the plains—
and started out on my usual trip. About
100 miles from Dallas, while riding along
mid swapping stories, we heard a pistol
shot in the rear, ami before we could
move a hand or foot we w ere surrounded
by a yelling and hooting crowd of In
dians. There were eighteen in all, and
the noise they made would makca person
think that bedlam had broken loose. The
only weapons I had were a pistol and
shot-gun, I having unfortunately left my
rifle at Dallas; and, if I remember rightly,
I think Wheeler hud nothing but a
revolver with him. But, knowing
that instant action was the only
thing that would save us, I
jumped oil the stage and fired into them,
first emptying my shotgun and then my
pistol. Three of them dropped, and the
rest ran back, while we lashed our
horses to a gallop. We hadn't gone but
a quarter of a mile, however, before the
whole pack was again at our heels. Halt
ing our horses, 1 left Wheeler to hold
them and shoot the best ho could, while
I jumped off again, and as good luck
would have it, routed them. But while
we were trying to drive them off again,
Wheeler received a shot in the mouth,
carrying away a portion of his upper jaw.
Seeing that we could no longer keep on
the stage and live, we both jumped
astride the horses, after cutting them
loose, and dashed off as fast as we could
go down the lavine. Wheeler was suffer
ing terribly, and could hardly sit on his
horse, but he hung on like a major.
“In going down the gulch five more
Indians rushed out upon us and fired
away, one shot striking my horse in the
leg, laming him; and to make matters
worse, he slipped and fell, throwing me
headlong on the rocks below. The horse
then ran away, ami with the Indians
after us, Wheeler wounded, and only
one horse for the tw o of us, we were in a
desperate situation, and I began to grow
disheartened and thought that my time
luid surely come. Well, to make a long
story short. I finally managed to get on
to Wheeler’s horse, and we managed to
get to Alkali Flat, where we got a doctor
to fix Wheeler’s wound. I then went back
after the letter pouch that had been left
in the stage, mid went to Kansas City.
Wheeler got well again, ami is now a
wealthy ranchman in Oregon.
“I have been extremely lucky, myself,
and in all the troubles ami adventures
that 1 have gone through 1 have only
been wounded once, and that was in the
arm, when I was shot while attempting
to capture some stage robbers near Fish
Springs. In 1868 I experienced my first
stage robbery, while going from Boise
City to Vmatilla, along the Blue Mound
range. We had about *13,000 worth of
gold dust with us, and, of course, we had
to lie careful on account of the numerous
highwaymen, and we took every precau
tion in the way of amis, and so forth.
But it seemed we were fated to be 'held
up' anyway. While rounding a rocky
point, three men jumped to the horses’
heads, one held a pistol to the drivel's
hi ad, and three others proceeded to re
lieve me of all my treasure. We were
taken so suddenly that we could nt help
ourselves, and the only thing that we
could do was to return home and report
the loss. The robbers were all caught,
however, with nearly all the gold, and
each one got from five to ten years in the
penitentiary. After getting out, one of
them was hung for murder, in Idaho,
and the others were shot in Arizona.
“Ah, yes," sighed Mr. Page, “those
were the days when n man thought no
more of riding horseback a distance of a
hundred miles than he would now of
going on the train the same distance.
Why, 1 myself rode from Kansas City
to Dallas, a distance of 195 miles, in
twenty-eight hours, carrying 125 pounds
of treasure with me. Os course I changed
horses every twenty-five miles, because if
I hadn't one horse wouldn't have lasted
very long. Before the stage route was
laid through that Western country, one
messenger would pass over the route
every three days. You see, they had
about sixty riders in the saddle all the
time over one route, and so arranged
that a messenger would pass over just so
often. Each one carried about four hun
dred pounds of gold dust, which went
about *2OO to the pound of twelve
ounces. Later on, when the country was
more settled, some ranchmen along the
road used to take care of the extra horses,
so that the messenger cohl change and
get fresh ones, but before that each man
had to take six or seven horses w ith him
and change as lie went along. Eversince
1880 4 have been mining in Oregon and
Washington Territory, but I have given
that up now and am going to engage in
some sort of iu Tacoma."

Draped and folded vests remain a

Hepped silk, Bengaline, and velvet will
be used for them.
Dressmakers who pleat and gather a
quantity of stuff about the dress wearer’s

There is a mistaken notion that ladies

The long straight polonaises, which
will be made of heavy materials for
winter wear, should not be caught up in

There are more simple models for even

Certain Chicken Cholera Cure.
Eight yearn of careful experiment and pains
taking research have resulted in the discovery
of an infallible specific for the cure and pre
vention of that most fatal a:id dreaded enemy
of the feathered tribe-Cholera. After the
fullest and fairest teste possible, iu which every
claim for the remedy was fullv substantiated,
the rcmoflj was placed upon the market, aud
everywhere a single trial has been all that waa
required to prove it a complete success. Ido
directions f<»r its use are plain and simple, and
the cost of the remedy so small that the saving
of a single fowl will repay the expense Its
effect is almost magical. If the remedy i«
given as directed, the course of the disease is
stopped at once. Given occasionally as a pre
'cntive, there need be no fear oi Cholera,
which annually kills more fowls than all other
disease's combined. It is true to name, a Cer
tain Cure for Chicken Cholera, No poultry
raiser or farmer can afford to be without it It
wilUlo all that is claimed for it. Head the fol
lowing testimonial :

To the Public : The high character of tho

that would attend its administration.
