Rlko Items.

From the saa Francisco Alta Of yesterday.
we are indebted to Mr.. j. B. Fitch,
Sheriff Of Elko county, Nevada, for
the following items:
The survey Of the railroad to White
Pine Is nearly completed, and work
will be commenced shortly. Some
twenty-six families have arrived IN
Elko within the last month, all Intent
on settling In the town or neighoor,
hood. Several Of them have purchased
ranches in the vicinity of Elko. Inc
railroad will open up large section OF
farming country. 1t passes through n
hundred miles of Huntingdon Valley,
a capital agricultural district, already
studded with scores of ranches. The
road will ere long be extended from
Elko, through Hamilton, to Colville,
the head of navigation on the Colorado
river, a distance approximately OF zig
miles. Lieutenant Wheeler, United
States Army, isnow at Elko, and Will
shortly make the surveys of the route
between Hamilton and Colville. The
Boards Of Supervisors Of Elko and
White Pine counties have voted bonds
Of those counties for $400, 900 subsidy
to the road. The stock is owned by a
Chicago capitalist aud Messrs. Buel,
Batemall and others, including, as 1t Is
understood, one of the railroad kings
ofSacramento. The line oil road will run
within twelve miles Of Eureka, fourteen
of Mineral Hill, eight of Ruby and with
In eight miles of the Sheep Ranch min
ing district. 1t will give an outlet to
numerous fertile valleys lying south of
the road. The old. overland stage
company have In Ruby Valley a ranch
of 1,100 acres, cultivated years ago,
and now leased In Subdivisions to
small farmers. Cache, Clover, and
Round Valleys, now settled up en-
tirely, are In the vicinity of the road.
There are, however, thousands Of acres
of splendid lands to be obtained In the
neighborhood of the road, at Govern
ment and railroad prices. The coal
mine, twenty miles from Elko, and In
the vicinity Of the projected road, Is
said to be a most valuable property.
The coal is bituminous, and has already
been shipped to Sacramento for use In
foundries. Some 5000 head Of cattle,
consigned to Mcssrs. Goodway, Archer
& Albert, arrived from Colorado re-
Gently, and have been herded OH the
north fork Of the Humboldt River.
The prospects Of Elko are decidedly
looking up.

A Mammoth Millinery House.

Messrs. Keith Brothers, importers, manu-
facturers and jobbers of millinery, straw
goods hats, caps and furs, occupy the entire
spacious building located at 6S and 20 Wa
bash avenue This store embraces six floors,
so by 165 feet, all admirably lighted.
The annual sales Of this house now amount
to over two million dollars; being larger
than that of any other house in their line in
this country, their trade extending East as
far as Pennsylvania, and throughout the
entire West and South. Having q large
capital, and buying only of manufacturers,
and ditcdys for cash, they are enabled to
meet the lowest New York importers prices
in every department of their business.
They import direct their entire line of
Ribbons, Silks, Velvets, Fine Flowers, and
Patterns from the leading manufacturers,
often advancing as high as three hundred
thousand dollars on these stocks They have
also recently imported a large line of the
most desirable styles of ladies' hats and
bonnets, consisting of fine Leghorn, Milan,
Chip, Hair and Cactus, and all styles of Swiss
Braids from the leading English manufac-
turers.
Mr.. o. r. Keith, the senior member of the
firm, spends part of each year visiting the
most celebrated manufactures of Europe,
selecting these goods. He has recently re-
turned with large and elegant assortment
of spring goods, which is fully equal, in
every respect, to any stock in this country.
The high reputation this house enjoys for
integrity and fair dealing, and their we'll
won position in the front ranks of Chicago
merchants, are pledges of the superior ad-
vantages they are able to offer t. the trade of
the West, which an examination of their ex-
tensive stock and their prices will confirm.
Purchasers who consult their best interests
should not fail to visit this house when they
come to Chicago.

The Emperor williams Daily Life.

A German publication gives the fol
lowing account of the Emperor Williams
daily routine: i
"His Majesty usually rises at 7 o'clock |
in summer frequently much earlier,
in winter sometimes later. lie never

which is carried TO all reviews and mill.

there is already bed in the room where
he STAYS, it is taken out and the cam.

sists of an iron frame it IS only a foot
high, and has but little furniture. In
raw weather the King wears his cloak.
Only small pocket watch is hung up
by the wall near this simple couch, this
being favorite SOUVENIR with which the
King was presented in 1914, on accom-
panying his royal father in a journey TO
Neufchatel and through Switzerland.
At previously fixed, or otherwise at
the ordinary time, if the King has not
already rung, two attendants enter the
room. On days when there is to be a
battle, this occurs at very early hour
as at Sadowa, where he was awoke at
q. M, and at Gravelotte, where he was
awoke at 3-for the King likes to be
present at the marching out OF the
troops. If this is not necessary, dis

the King drinks coffee, so that they

King, as soon as he rises, dresses him.

dressed the whole day, merely un but
toning his overcoat if he is alone in his
room, or receives only persons on his
suite. When other persons are re-
ceived, he always appears with buttoned
overcoat, as also when he steps up to
window to watch troops marching by,
or if he knows that military persons can
see him. On returning from journeys
and reviews, or from battle, he changes
his linen, but entirely dresses again. A

pendent man allows himself at home,
the King has never used, even during
lndisposition or sickness. The King
opens all his letters himself, without ex-
cepton; even during serious illness
they must be opened in his presence.
He sorts them. On the first perusal, he
makes signs or marginal comments on
them. These signs have fixed signiti-
cation, and the officials into whose
hands they come know how to deal with
them. All letters destined for the Ber-

thorites until after the conclusion of a
definite treaty of peace.
An article in the Journal O6Tciel, of
Paris, declares in favor of a Republic
as the definitive form of government for
France, and urges the people not to dis
turb order, for the sole hope OF France
is tranquility.
M. Theirs will soon dissolve the
French Assembly, and appeal to the
people to decide the future Government.
Ducrot, Chanzy and Faidherbe are work
ing for an Empire. Bonapartist meet
ings in the provinces are numerous.
The French Official Journal pub
fishes decree approving the formation
of regiments of infantry at Bordeaux,
and dissolving the headquarters of the
stats of the armies recently operating
in the north, and the camps of instruc-
ton at Havre, in Brittany, and in the
Vosges.
1t is reported from Paris that the
Government intends to levy tax on
imported raw material, especially tex
tile fabrics. The tax on cotton alone is
expected to produce annually sixty to
eighty millions of francs. Foreign manu-
featured articles will be taxed proper
tionately.
The German Government has asked
information from that of France as to
whether the decree issued by the late
Government of the National Defense
for the expulsion Of Germans from
France has been cancelled. An imme-
date reply was required, but Favre de.
sires time for consideration, and it has
been granted.
Trade at Rouen is reviving, and
purchases of cotton tissues have COM
menced. The German military author
tiles have billeted large number of adj
ditional troops on the inhabitants of
Rouen, because of the general display
of mourning during the review of the
German forces in that city.
"A decree dated the 9Th inst, Just
published, abolishes the Governorships
of Versailles, Nancy and Rheims, the
duties of which are transferred to mill
tary commanders. The Germans also
relinquish the administration of affairs
in the occupied departments of France,
so far as education and religion are con-
cerned-reserving however, the right
to resume it in case the French arrange
ment proves unsatisfactory. The Ger
mans retain the management of the
postal, railway and Geographic service
in those portions of France held by
them.

IT would take an expert in the science
of moral chemistry-if there be such a
science-to decide whether there is more
meanness or more nobility of character
developed by great crises or great catas-
trophies. The world applauds the hero
ism of the engineer who refused to leave
his engine the other night when it
plunged into the oil train-though his
comrades say that he always argued that
it was the safer course to stick to the
engine and drive through the obstacle
than to jump off, However this may be,
he evidently was man who meant to
do his duty and get his train through
the difficulty if possible, and the world
will lose nothing by idealizing him, and
praising him as brave and faithful when
the occasion demanded. But the same
event which glorifed him brought to
the surface birds of prey" loathsome
Rogue Riderhoods," who robbed, or
tried to rob, the helpless victims of that
disaster. In another vein, but in the
same line, comes forward the woman
who pretends to be the wife Of one of
the passengers, faints at the sight Of his
hat and coat, and piteously begs aid for
herself and her children, and then
proves to be an impostor. The patience
of good men, and even the serenity of
the gods. must be sorely tried by such
vain tricks and dark ways.

Finger Calcuint;Olis

A correspondent of the London Atbe-
nGum says: The reference OF Prof. De
Morgan to the employment Of the
fingers for the purposes Of notation in
duces me 10 speak Of the very ingenious
application, in China, of this living aba
Gus to arithmetical calculation. of the
faculty it gives for the settlement of ac-
counts. and the easy solution of all
sums, whether of addition, subtraction,
multiplication or division, from one up
to a hundred thousand. Every finger
on the left hand represents nine figures
the little finger the units, the ring
finger the tens, the middle finer the
hundreds, the forefnger the thousands,
the thumb the tens of thousands. The
three inner joints represent from | to
s, the three outer 4 to s, the right side
7 to 9. The forefinger on the right
hand is employed for pointing to the
figure to be called into use; thus, ,234
would at once be denoted by just touch
ing the inside Of the upper joint of the
forefinger, representing 1000; then the
inside of the second or middle joint of
the middle finger, representing zoe;
thirdly the inside Of the lower Joint of
the ring finger, representing 80; and
lastly, the upper joint of the little finger
touched on the outside, representing 4.
Or, again, 1899 would be represented
by touching the side Of the lower joint
of the thumb 10000, and the lower side
of the joint of the fore, middle, and the
little fingers, representing respectively
5000, 900 90, and 9. The universal
correctness of the accountancy of China,
when there is no purpose of fraud, and
the rapidity with which all trading and
commercial accounts are calculated, are
facts of notoriety to all who have any
acquaintance with purchases or sales
made in that country.
