THE PROPITIOUS AND CARGO. Galveson, Tex., June 1(5. A cablegram received here announces that the steam ship Propitious, with a cargo of golden corn, loaded at Galveston wharves, arrived in London -with her cargo in tirt-class con dition. This means that the sea voyage in no wii-e affected the quality of the grain. This is indeed encouraging "fqr those who arc interested in the success of the under taking. This cable also brings the cheering in formation that the corn sold readily and at good prices. Mr. Beymershotref, from horn was obtained this information, said that it is unerstood the Propitious will re turn at once for another cargo. "Wo trust that this is true," said Mr. Heymershoffer, "for if she returns we vill give her a cargo of both Hour and corn." The experiment of shipping grain from this port-has proven entirely satisfactory, and Galveston extends greetings to Kan pas and the great northu est over this suc cessful inauguration of the exportation of grain through this port Do not take any chances of being poison ed or burnt to death with liquid stove pol ish, paints and enamels iu bottles. The Rising Sun stove polish is safe, odorless, brilliant, the cheapest and beat stove pol ish made, and the consumer pays for no expensive tin or glass package with every purchase.

At a pub lic meeting Saturday night the citizens of "Watertown decided to accept the proposi tion from the city of Huron to withdraw from the race for the permanent capital of South Dakota. The conditions of "the proposition are that a payment of $10,000 in cash be made by the city of Huron to the city of Watertown and that a note for $30,000, signed by forty citizens of Huron, to the city of Watertown, due January 1, 1S01, also be given. The condition of the note is that it be paid provided the people by their votes decide to locate the capital pi the state at Huron. If not, then it is null and void. This action caused great indignation in many quarters, find it is claimed that it is an attempt to sell the votes of one county to another. It is al most certain that three-fourths of the votes of this county will go to pieces as a result of this proposition. Pear's Soap secures a beautiful com plexion. THE CROSS CASE. PARIS, Tex., June 10. Ten witnesses were examined in behalf of the govern ment in the Cross case. Much of the tes timony appeared irrelevant, and only served to show the bad condition of affairs in Stevens county in 18S8. Expert testi mony was introduced to show that Sheriff Cross had his arms elevated when shot, and that Cross, Hubbard and "Wilcox were shot while lying on the ground. George Brucker, 'of Caldwell. Kan., stated that on Monday after the killing of Chamberlain one of the defend ants told him that he shot Herbert. Tony was very sorry of it and would give all he had if the boy would get well. Smith Grubbs, another defendant, said to him: "We shot Cross." H. M. Miller, of Seward county, Kansas, said he was in Hugoton in April, 18S9, and in conversa tion with Chamberlain expressed the opin ion that the killing of Cross and his men was a cold-blooded murder. People would not have talked so much, but Cross had his hands up. Chamberlain said somebody had to be killed. Witness said to him: "It wag strange none of the other crowd was butt." Chamberlain SRid: "We did not give them time." Absolutely pure, delicately medicated, Cuticura is the best infantile soap. DEAL GENTLY WITH THE STOMACH. If it proves refractory, mild discipline is the thing to set it right. Not all the nau seous draughts and boluses ever invented can do half as much to remedy its diror ders as a few wineglassfulls say three a day of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.which will afford it speedy .relief, and eventually banish every dyspeptic and billious svmp tom. Sick headache, nervousness, sallow ness of the complexion, fur upon the tongue, vertigo, and those many indescrib able and disagreeable sensations caused by indigestion, are too often perpetuated by injudicious dosing. An immediate abandonment of such random and ill-advised experiments should be tho first step in the direction of a cure; the next step the use of this standard tonic alternative, which has received the highest medical sanction aud won unprecedented popularity.

H. in Frank Leslie's Newspaper. FRANCISCO. From out of the sands of that Bun parched desert which stretches across our southwestern country the Zilh Lo Jini, Indian named, rises abruptly. For many miles the mountain lifts a barrier across the plain. Its precipitous sides, scarred and broken by crevices, or rugged with fallen bowlders, render pas sago impossible to all but tho naked sav ages who havo found thero a home. In these solitudes a fragment of the Navajo Indian tribe, under the leader ship of morose old Francisco, have for a long while indulged their savage in stincts. And while the arm of the law is too strong for them to make open war fare, little provocation is needed to in cite them to mischief unless detection and punishment hang imminent Hero and there in the tortuous fast nesses a spring bubbles from the rocks, and along tho water, before it sinks into tho sand, is found luxuriant pasturage for the herds of Indian ponies. Midway in its extent the mountain is broken by a narrow pass through winch meanders an Indian trail. It was just here that several months ago an after noon sun waa scorching a. party of young surveyors. They had been riding all day across the dusty plain and were eagerly looking now for the water at the foot of the mountain. A score of weary pack animals, with drooping heads and long ears flapping, were picking their way carefully over the stony trail while near them rode old Hamlin, the Mormon packer, with his two Mexiean assistants; behind these followed in single file the young men of the corps. The ringing crack of a driver's whip now and then came echoing back from tho cliffs along with the unintelligible jargon of a Mexican urging on the tired mules. The tinkle-tinkle of tho lead mare's bell moved 6lowly on; the dust rose in clouds from fourscoro feet; the sun poured down between tho narrow walls, and as yet no sign of water had been seen. A youth named Jim impatiently pushed ahead in his eager search. Ho had not gone far when he sighted nn Indian boy riding leisurely through tho pass. Ah, there was one who could tell of the cov eted spring. Pricking his horse ho hur ried to overtake the little savage. The boy roused up at the sound of galloping hoofs, and seeing a white man following bo fast, without pausing to question his intent, lashed the shaggy pony to the top of its speed. "Hold on, therel Hold on!" Jim called to him, but if his voice reached tho frightened youngster he gave it no heed, unless to urge his pony the faster. Then a freakish thought crossed tho young man's mind, and spurring his horse wild ly along the trail he began to utter war whoops and shrieks that might have startled old Francisco himself, had he been near. The nimble pony was making good speed, but the littlo savage, fearing to be caught and scalped, thought the moun tain safer than tho saddle. Without stopping his pony ho sprang lightly to tho ground, ran up tho hillside and dis appeared in the bowlders at tho foot of the cliff. Jim could scarcely keep his saddle with laughter for a few moments; then he rode along the trail to where tho little fellow had disappeared and called to him to come down, that ho was a good white man and wanted water. But he might as well have hailed a wild jack rabbit. Tho pony checked his speed when the rider left him, but still eluded tho young man's efforts to turn liim back in the narrow pass. The pack train came up, and the wild animal scurried ahead of it until the pass had widened into the val ley. There he was turned and sent prancing back toward the mountain. But the perverse little animal instead of returning insisted now upon following the train. Again and again the boys dashed at him, and away ho would go for a moment; but presently his heels would fly into tho air and back he would come, frisking impishly, and through tho rest of the afternoon followed at a distance. A spring was found before sunset, and camp was pitched for the night by tho side of tho water. The animals were turned loose to graze. The weary men dropped upon tho ground, while the cook busied himself preparing supper. Presently a shadow fell across the ground where wo lay, and looking up we ob served a solitary Indian approaching, a blanket thrown over his shoulders and a rifle on his arm. It was so usual an oc currence th3t little heed was given him; for everywhere they frequent our camps, begging incessantly for whisky, tobacco and food. But when he drew near and made no request, nor even acknowledged our salutation of "How." wo knew that his was another object, and that he was ill disposed. Drawing his blanket round him, ho paused a little way off and stood as silent as a specter. He was very tall and straight, with finely chiseled features in stead of the brutal face so common to the Indian. As he posed there in the twilight,his picture .e garment draping about him, with rifl in hand and the long shadows around, T couUX almost fancy the spirit of Hiawatha had ri&en. By this time supper was ready, and a cup of coffee was poured and offered to the Indian. He neither accepted nor re fused, but remained as motionless as if he had been cast in bronze. Turning presently and walking a few steps away, he uttered the long, tremulous call of the coyote. An answering nolo came from the hills near by and soon other Indians appeared by ones and twos and joined him about the fire. They continued to strangle in until thirty had gathered around us, ana an were armed, woo was offered them, bat not one accepted; they were not disposed to bo friendly. Night had come and with it the cold breeze from the mountains. The camp fire blazed cheerily, and around it the Navajos gathered, squatting upon their haunches. Our men were weary with the day's ride, and after the animals had been picketed, drew out their blanket3 and lay down about them, their baggage under their heads. No other trouble was expected if the stock were guarded from stampede, for a body of troops lay at the fort, three days' journey from the moun tain. After the men had lain down the Indi ans drew closer around the fire, now and then gathering fuel, or speaking one to another in their own language. We lay on the ground in the shadow, but against the darkness the swarthy figures of the Navajos were thrown in bold relief by the firelight, and they were not so far away but that their voice3 came to us. What a dreamy picture it seemed as we fell asleep I The coppery figures drawn about the fire, half concealed by their gaudy blankets, the gleam of rifles, the sleeping men, the dusky animal forms outlined, in shadow, while off on the hills a coyote barked at the moon, which was tinting the east and the waste of desert. The picture was soon forgotten by the boys, but the Mormon, as was his duty, lay watching. Presently the Indians formed in a half circle about him that had first come to us, and made ready for a powwow. Hamlin knew then that our visitor was the noted and dangerous Francisco. The chief began to speak to his warriors in Piute. It so happened that Hamlin had been raised among the Piutes and un derstood the language even better than the Navajos. Ha heard Francisco re counting the wrongs of his people; how often their pastures had been wrested from them, their horses and cattle stolen. And now they were being followed into the desert. Only one moon before two comrades had been murderod on the plain, and by -whom but theao men? To day a pony had been drivBn from the mountains; to-morrow what outrage might be expected? What should bo done? They were thirty braves, the white men numbered 6even. Horses wore here, food, rifles and powder; one bold stroke and all would be theirs. The boys had been sleeping some hours, when Hamlin wakened the nearest one with a touch. "S-h-h-hl" he whispered. "Danger!" In an instant every nerve was strung, and he would have risen but the Mormon pressed him down. The Mexicans were already whispering to gether, and soon the entire party was on the alert. We were still in the shadow, though the moon was shining now. My first glance was toward the fire. All the In dians had vanished but two. who were squatting before the smoldering embers as they had been earlier in the night. "The Navajos have gone behind the ridge," wo were presently told, "and these two remain lest we should suspect something wrong, and bo on our guard or get away." Then the Mormon told ua what he had overheard. Francisco had planned to attack us just before day, when most likely tho entire party would bo sleeping. They had withdrawn the more surely to take us unawares, and had crossed the ridge in order to conceal their fire. Ho had heard more; news had mos probably reached the fort of the murder of the two Indians, and a squad of sol diers been dispatched to investigate tho matter, for a detachment was in camp at tho Chez-a-Scla spring, only ten miles away. It was then 11 o'clock; a man must start off at once to notify the lieu tenant. Even if the troops did not arrive before the Indians returned wo might be ablo to defend ourselves for awhile till 6uccor should come. One of the boys was selected as mes senger. None of us had yet risen from the ground; the Navajos thought us sleep, ing. The lad began to slide off in tho grass, and presently reached the edge of a littlo gulch undiscovered. There ho dropped over and under shelter of the rocks made good his escape. It is need less to say we did not sleep again. Every eye and ear was on tho alert and every rifle in hand. Now and then a coyoto slunk near, and the uncertain shadow gave our nerves a thrill, or if his mate called we fancied tho Navajos were sig naling. Tho suspense 60 wrought upon the nerves of the party that they would gladly havo followed Hamlin to surprise the Indians in their camp; but tho watch ers were near. A suspicious movement on our part, and they would have van ished like pbantom3; or the crack of a rifle the whole band would be upon us. Hamlin, too, gTew restless as we lay there, and presently crept near to us. He had been considering the chances of the troops arriving in time to be of serv ice. The Chez-a-kla was ten miles away, and even were the detachment still there they could not reach us before 8 o'clock. It was the day before when tho Indians had seen them, but bad they remained? It was doubtful if tho lad could follow the trail aright, and, besides, tho Nava jos might attack us at any moment. Hamlin had nerves like the rest of us; perhaps ho had more. He was a gaunt, muscular man, who had been reared among the Piutes, where his father had been sent a Mormon missionary. Hav ing enjoined us 6trictly to lie quiet, he raised up and yawned, as though but just wakened from sleep. "Hello, therel If you are going to sit by my fire, why don't you keep it burn ing?" he called out to the pair who were yet squatting about the embers. "You trifling, lazy buck, now you keep that fire up till day, or 111 tako my cowbido and drive jou off I" The blaze crackled and the sparks flew up as he piJed the fuel on, while the two moved back somewhat. Drawing bi blanket about his shoulders, Hamlin squatted near them, shivering and pre tending to be cold. Presently he spoke, inquiring after some Mormon friends who had been among the Navajos. "Are you Mormon man? one of them asked. It was just the question he wanted. Certainly he was a Mormon, and knew eo and so, and his father was old Hamlin, whom all the NaTajos know. "Then you ought to be ashamed, a Mormon man, to werk fcr PfHicanocsr said one, "PcHicanosa thieves; they steal Indians' ponies. r With thif, conversation began in Na vajo fashion, and as they talked, Hamlin moTed slowly nearer, until thy were face to face Th bright fire threw them in high light, aad beyond were the un certain shadows. From the darkness came the leng, wavering call of the coy ote, and erer and anon w were startled as some browssg pony clinked tha peb bles in his way. The suspens3 grew in tolerable as the moments slipped past and tho time drew near when the Navajos would return. And what could Hamlin mean? Was he seeking favor on his own account? Was he about to desert us? A comrade touched me, and pointed to the place of the two drivers a little way off in the shadow. Their blankets were on the ground, but peering intently, I saw them to be empty. The Mexicans had slipped off in the darkness undiscovered. Hamlin must be informed at once, and I raised on my elbow to calk Perhaps he heard me move, for the next moment he sprang at a Navajo's throat like a wildcat. His companion uttered a single "Yip!" and leaped to his feet, but before bis weapon could be used was pinioned by the two Mexicans. Hamlin had seized the larger, and as we ran up they were clenched and struggling. The two were quickly gagged and bound. The Mexicans wished to dis patch them at once, but milder counsels prevailed. We were uncertain if tho camp be yond the ridge had heard the warning note, and with all haste threw the sad dles and more valuable packs upon the animals, sprang to our places and hur ried along the obscure and difficult trail. We rode with whip and spur through sand and sagebrush, over stones and gulches, across fallen timber; a mad, wild race, as fast as beasts could strug gle. After the intense night of watch ing action was relief: wo could have jumped from a precipice, charged a bat tery or fought a band of grizzly bears. On and on we urged the train; one mile passed, two, then three; by that time we were shaken with tho perilous ride, the animals were panting, and our speed slackened. Another mile and a call was heard. We paused to listen. Were the Navajos following, or was it a friend? A moment and another whoop came ringing, and thero was a sound of galloping hoofs. Tho voice was familiar, and we sent an answer echoing across the plain. In a few minutes we were with friends. Tho lad had reached the Chez-a-kla and roused the camp, then mounted a horse and was guiding the bluecoatd back to our aid. The next day Francisco was followed into the mountains and shortly after ward captured; but instead of taking him to the fort for trial wo called his people together and held a grand pow wow. Hamlin explained how the pony had followed us, and tho lieutenant de clared that he had been sent to seek and punish the murderers of the two Nava jos. Then a present of tobacco was given, we each whiffed from Francisco's dirty pipe, and, as the story books say. all lived happily togetHer over after, forv as long as wo worked in that region they were our friends. John Willis Hays in Youth's Companion. A "Painter" Let Go. Every sailor has his story of the mis takes which "landlubbers" mako over the names of things at sea, which always seem to be exactly the opposite of what they are on land. A sheet, for instance, instead of being something broad, like a sheet of cloth or a Bheetof water, is noth ing but a rope. A new boy had come on board a West India hip, upon which a painter had also been employed to paint the ship's side. The painter was at work upon a staging suspended under the ship's stern. Tho captain, who had just got into a boat alongside, called out to tho new boy, who stood leaning over the rail: A Pocket Match Safe Free to ers of Smok- Everybody should know thet s. besf z painter is the rope which makes it fast, but this boy did not know it. He ran aft and let go tho ropes by which the painter's stage was held. Meantime the captain wearied with waiting to be cast oil. "You rascal!" he called; "why don't you let go the painter?" "He's gone, sir," said tho boy, briskly; "he's gone, pots, brushes and alll" Youth's Companion. Boarding tho X.lra.
