Last night they explored it. The entrance is a hole 20 feet deep and about 3 feet in diameter. At the bottom begins a narrow ami steep passage, running northeast nbout 35 feet. At the end of this passage was a step off of about 5 feet, and iinme- to the left was a chamber about 8 feet in diameter, the ridng gradually in tlie form of a cone, meeting at a point overhead 30 feet from the floor. The walls were hung with numerous stone pendantt, water at the time dripping down.

A passageway, 18 inches wide and 10 feet long, led from this opening toward the northwest to another chamber similar to the first, but about 60 feet high. A passageway then brought the party into still another room, it being a little smaller than the first. From this a narrow isle, 60 feet long and 7 feet high, led northwest to a very small opening or. manhole, through which the reporter crawled with a lamp, and found that the passage was blocked by a large quantity of sand and debris, brought by the rains that pour at times down the whole cave. At the end of this last passage there led oil' two openings, about as large as a stovepipe.

Stamping on the ground brought out the fact that a chamber was at some place under this Lx.it passage. This week a hole will be drilled to find if such a cavity exists, and also the entrance will be enlarged, making it easier of a cr.ss. The fact that tlie water disappears downward, the upper current of air, and the hollow sound above men tioiu'd, go to prove that theie is another cavity, prubahly larger than any of the rest. The estimated depth of tlie cavt from the general surface is HO feet. The party -pent an hour ami i i a under i i i a i i (hid.) C'or.

St. Louis (jlnbe-Di-mocrat. Kloped on Locomotive. Alpheus did not inure trouble in reaching A than Conductor Bell, of the and M.id, had in getting i i Tlie groom had long a young lady of Louisville. Her parents objected very strenuously to their marriage, and used all the means possible, to a their desires.

Like lovers the world over, opposition but strengthened their affection and deter initiation to marry an Tuesday night a set as the time for an elopement. In some a tile old folks got an inkling of what contemplated. When the expectant groom an ived he found the house well guarded. The paruits had the card for the time being. Wednesday came, and the turn of the heel good fortune into the lap of the young folks.

Disappointment sharpened their wits, A new plan was conceived. That afternoon, as his train passed her home, the conductor caught a glimpse of his affianced. That was sufficient. Running the train to a siding, a mile or so away, the coaches were dropped, and while the few passengers wondered what was delaying them, the engine, with the exultant lover, sped down the track to the spot where she was waiting, heart in mouth, and, as the old expression goes, i love and duty swayed." Love was victorious. When the engine reached the train again, after a very few minutes' delay, it had a new and fair passenger to place aboard.

To see lightning assume the role of a blacksmith is a sight which no man expected to witness a few years ago. The utter subjugation of the element that gives the thunderstorm its majesty and that cleaves the granite of the mountain peak, was manifested all last week, in tho working of a bit of mechanism in Mechanical hall.

A rapid adjustmentoi two bits of cold steel, a touch upon a lever, and, lo! about the junction of the pieces of metal there flashed a circlet of cheiry red that soon became snow white with intensity of heat. While one'e watch ticked a score the fierce heat made the two bito of hard steel one, and the work was ended. No human hands, 01 fire kindled by man, could perform the same work in so perfect a way, or so swiftly. It was a wedding in which a busy dynamo a mile away was the officiating power, and it was a sight full ol interest and beauty. In the hands of all- potent man, the thunderbolt of Jupiter becomes the rival of the village blacksmith, Tlie possibilities of the process of welding are welluigh limitless i Bulletin.

The head is off a short distance from the ear, leaving one of these and a portion of the comb intact.

The horse was a vicious looking animal with a sinister eye, reeking nostrils, and long, reclining ears, and he balked with such determination right acrosa the cable track that the cars were stopped as far down as Monroe and La Salle streets, and the gripmen all swore aa griprnen will. A crowd of young clerks, old business men and jolly little typewriter girls gathered on the sidewalk, and all the office boys in the block took front seats, after their habit, and awaited developments. The driver, who was a tall, thin youth with a red neck and freckles, left his seat, and by way of opening business kicked the horse rudely in the abdomen. A member of the Humane society caught the boy by the collar and shook him, and everybody laughed except the boy and the member of the Humane society, who glared at eack other. "Has anybody got a of sugar?" the member of the Humane society asked after a while, the boy having gone to look for a brick.

"I have," a typewriter girl replied, diving into iior handbag. The memlier of the Humane society said, "Thank you, miss," bowed, rolled back his cults in the manner of tlie gentleman who is just about to make a nickel disappear in his ear, and then at tempted to thrust the sugar into the horse's mouth. The horse's ears napped back, his eye reddened and he grabbed at the a man's arm with his pink jaws. The Humane man yelled, "Whoa!" and jumped away; the young men in the crowd laughed hoarsely and the girls shrieked. Banker George Schneider had been itauding in his window watching the performance, and he now came down etairs anil walked the ciowd.

tin 1 old country," he said, "we used to make lulky horses move in tills way," and lie got on his tiptoes and threw his arms around tlie horse's neck. The animal snorted savagely and shot up its angry head i its neik looked like a bland pipe, and of course Mr. Schneider went with it. When he had gone up so high that lie timid almost see the roof of the Tacoma i i lie let go. and, falling, struck Tailor Joe Day.

Jlr. Day changes his trousers very hour, and he now w.ue a pair of gobelin blue trousers with white flecks. When lie jumped out of the ay to avoid Mr. Schneider he rubbed some axle grease olT a wagon 1mb with his trousers and swore softly. Mr.

Schneider bhislied under the taunts of the crowd and i to the batik. A led faced man i a sandy mustache, vho wore a checked scarf around his neck, then ame forward and remarked: 'Ere's bonly woye to do the bloninink Jiink." He took a hitching strap from A horse attached to a buggy near by and passed it behind the jalky horse's right front leg. Then he began to pull and haul, Assistant Postmaster John Ilubbard, hiis a good voice, to sing my leg jff." Everybody in crowd knew "Saw my leg off," and the chorus was large and enthusiastic. Officer Lavin paused on Ins way home to dinner, saw the unhitchtd horse, and calmly drove off with the buggy, accotd- Ing to the ordinance regularly made am! provided. Tlie owner, a little man witli a plug hat, came out of the Grannia block at this juncture and assaulted the Englishman, and somebody began welting the balky horse with a barrel atave.

This was the signal for a combined attack, and everybody who could get near enough took a hand in hammering the poor biute. While this bombardment was at its height the driver came up. He inquired for the member of the Humane society, and finding that he had gone he climbed into the wagon, glared contemptuously at the crowd, kicked the horse in 4 an ungentlemanly like manner, yelled "G--ee--t--ee--app," and drove Tribune.

A Verdict of 31 Years. For thirty-one years the public have been using the well-known brands of I' 'iir umnnfactnred by the Shellabarger Mills, nnd as evidence of their popularity the capacity of our mills has been in- cre from the little 50-barrel burr mill to cur present 800 bar-ele full Her process mill, and onr trade exceeds that of any mill in this state. This certainly prov.s that our fiour still takes the lead. In thf year 1879 we changed our mills froni tlie bnrr system to the roller pro- ceet-, (being the first mill in the state to upe rolls on winter wheat) and at the smiie time chnmzed our brands, WHITE WHEAT and XXXX, to the popular and well-known WHITE LOAF and DAILY BREAD brands. Since the change our system and brands our competitors have been using every means possible to dnpli- ca both ourflour and brands.

They findit iu possible to do so, but in some instances bBve deceived the pnblic by the similarity between their brands and ours--for at a glance one would see no difference be tween the brands, be-oatiee the name, design and color are similar to onr WHITB LOAF and DAILJ BBI-AD brands.

Logan Beik are the pioneers of Low Prices in groceries, and those who have patronized them know how well the claim is based. What is the sense in paying high prices when you can buy the same goods for less money?
