Flinch afforded the most enjoyable amusement and the first prize was won by Miss Arbie Loch, the consolation going to Miss Alice Jackson. Refreshments were served and everything progressed in such away as to make the gathering a very successful and enjoyable one. The peanut and popcorn machine of Fred Mills does not look very formidable, beside a locomotive engine or a 300 horse power, high pressure boiler, yet is right there and when the shivering pointer at the steam gauge points to thirty or forty, you may lie sure there is some force liehind it. Last evening a valve bursted and the cloud of steam and the jet of hot water which was forced high into the air looked very much like a pony geyser. Henry Krick, who has just returned from a trip through Indian Territory, considers the opportunities offered therefor new industries so good that he is seriously contemplating investing some money in a tile and brick manufactory. Negotiations are uu» on between him and the citizens of Tulsa. I. T., a thriving city of 3,(MX) inhabitants, to the effect that a large manufactory of tile and brick be established. The natural facilities such as an abundance of clay, coal and oil, and good shipping points, and moreover a big demand for the product, all unite to make it seemingly a good investment. Should the deal be completed, George Krick would probably take up the work at Tulsa for his father. Phenomena Allied to t.lglitnln*. Subterranean thunders huve occasion ally been heard preparatory to un aerial eruption. The sea hns cast up volumes of water, as if volcanoes were exploding below. The ground has burst open, and floods of water have gushed forth from the sides of hills or from fissures In the rocks. Taking another class of effects, cures have been performed by lightning- gouty men have been enabled to walk freely, epileptic persona huve been healed, amaurosis has been removed and ibeumntlsm dispelled by a flash. But one dare not look too closely into the subject of medical electricity nor venture to recommend any one to tempt lightning in the hope of experiencing its curative effects.-Cbaos bore' Journal.

Heller is in receipt of a letter from a friend in Indianapolis which says that the gentleman who was so badly hurt there by falling from a second story window,’ mention of which was made a few days ago, is Craig Miller of this city.

MEDICINE IN THE ANDES. Peculiar Properties of the Herbs the Indian Doctors I se. An interesting character, frequently nut with In the Andes, is the cnllugutiyas. or Indian doctor. He is everywhere nnd is trader, tinker, peddler fortune teller, conjurer nnd magician. His knowledge of botany is as mys terlous as It is comprehensive, and the most astonishing stories are told of his cures. A man In Lima was lying at the point of Benth with a disease which battled physicians who brought diplomas iron: tne uiedicul s< book of I'uris and Vienna. One evening two of the physicians stood talking of the case at the siek man's door, without noticing a humble, barefooted Indian who leaned against the wall. As they.departed the Indian entered the patio and asked to see the sick man. The family referred him to the attending doctor, who, amazed at his audacity, exclaimed • “What do you know about a disense that puzzles the best physicians in Lima?" “1 have herbs that will cure everything," said the callaguayas. The doctor smiled in scorn nnd turned away. The Indian opened his pack, took from a paper a single leaf and handed it to the physician, asking him to smell It. He did no, and instantly his nose began to bleed, and be was unnble to stop It. The Indian stood stolidly by for a time, then handed him another leaf, saying, "Smell that and the bleedlug will stop.” The result was what he promised, and the physician was Interested. In the end the callaguayas saw the sick man. He selected herbs from bls stock, brewed a tea and gave It to the patient, and the*sick man recovered -“Between tbs Andes and tbe Ocean.”

Too Gencroas. “What was the trouble between Arabella and her young man that they gave up the idea of marrying?” asked a former resident of Bushby. “Araliella was always techy.” said the young Indy's aunt, with impersonal calmness, “and that was the trouble —that and her being so literal. It's u terrible resky combination o' qualities. “They kept having bitches nil along, but come Christinas time Albert asked her right up and down what she wanted. for fear of making the wrong choice, and she said, "You can give me enough candy to till my slipper,’ looking ut him real eoy. "Well, her feet aren’t as small as some, but that wasn't bis Idea. 'Twas because lie's generous and not literal. He sent her a five pound l>ox, poor, deluded critter, und she up mid broke the engagement, and his little sister ate the candy and enjoyed it, by what 1 hear.”—Youth’s Cumtinnion. Two of a Rind. “My word. FTtznoodle," said a war office clerk, according to tbe London Express, to a colleague who oat at the

next desk, "just look nt that workmen on the roof of that building over the way.” ‘■What’s the matter with him?” Inquired Fitz, glancing through the window at the individual Indicated. “Matter." retorted the other, “why. I’ve been watching the lazy beggar for the Inst twenty-five minutes, and he hasn't done a stroke of work all the time.” At the precise moment nt which the above conversation occurred a British workingman was addressing his "mate.” “Sy.
