Don Piatt, describing Madame Tus-
saud's wax work show in London,
tells of funny little episode of recent
occurrence there.
To the great mass of visitors after
night these wax figures are SO life-like
and real that it is dangerous to get
out of line, for it is not uncommon to
have some weary man or woman, who
has seated himself or herself, to be
mistaken for wax creation, and
commented upon and criticised by
the crowd This is what happened to
Raymond, the actor, who has made
Col. Sellers immortal.
John was tired, and so hinged into
an old chair. He had not observed
the number placarded over his head
that indicated he was occupying the
seat of wax figure removed for re-
pairs. ThScrowd soon gathered about
him, and at first Raymond thought he
was subjected to common process Of
being stared at as Col. Sellers. Then
it flashed acI oss his fun-loving brain
that he was being mistaken for wax
figure, for one of the ladies exclaim-
cd:
"How very lifc-like and natural, to
be surci Who is it?''
Catalogues were hastily searched,
and Raymond humored the joke by
putting a glass glare in his eyes. This
was not so pleasant as it at first APP
peared, for directly man among the
crowd said:
well, l rather think he is the.
ugliest little fellow ever saw
1T is positively the most horrid-
looking creature in the place. Who
is it?" asked lady.
The number was found and the ac-
count read out:
Tom Thug, the cruellest murderer
ever hung; cut the throats of whole
family of fourteen persons for the tri-
fling sum OF ten pounds eight shillings
and sixpence."
We'll, I'll be hanged cried Ray
mond. jumping to his feet, ''if it is
possible to make charge in England
without tacking on that miserable
sum of sixpence. l believe the late
Mr.. Thug was swindled."
The crowd laughed and screamed.
One more cool bystander said, 20.
bother! that is an old game here.
This little fellow is hired to do this
Madame Tussaud pays him one pound
six shillings-''
IF you say sixpence." cried Ray
mond, I'll make the number of the
murdered an even fifteen"

THE STATE FAIR.

A friend asked us yesterday what is
the reason you have mt word to say
about the State Fair at Reno?" The
reason is that though we read all the ac-
counts we could find there was nothing
of interest to the general reader in the
proceedings. Here is specimen from
the Reno Journal. That paper gave very
full and complete reports and yet this is
the best the Journal could do though
published at headquarters:
The races yesterday were very good.
May Howard was the favorte throughout
the trottipg race, and won it in three
straight heats. Time 2:3l, 2,32iSs, 1925.
Geo. Treat took second money and Gold
Note third. Defiance was distanced in
the last heat.
The consolation purse won by Echo
in 351.
There was also dash of mile between
Rafel and Gallinipper, which was won by
the former.
Then Washoe and Sheldon started for a
mile and repeat and Sheldon was dis.
tanced. Time 3.04.
Then American boy, jim Cooke and
Dick were entered for trot, best two in
three. Boy won both heats, Cooke
second, Dick distanced.

MORE CAUCUSSING.
The wainwright Riot Case.

Something over year ago Mr.. Vain
wright, of Hampton, leased twenty acres
Of coal land in that township to Taylor
Williams, of coal mining fame, for one
year. About week before the year was
up Williams men went upon the land and
commenced sinking a shaft. When the
year was fully up the Wainwrights went to
the land and commenced filling up the
hole that had been dug for the shaft. This
precipitated high words and some strug-
Cling but no one was hurt or in any way in
jured in the least. Williams claimed that
he had a riga to continuation of the
lease, that it was riotous proceeding for
any one to disturb him in his work on said
leased land, and he therefore got the
Wainwrights indicted for riot. The case
occupied the circuit court several days, but
came to a very sudden termination on
Tuesday by the prosecution discovering that
Williamss lease had expired before he at
tempted to prevent the Wainwrights from
occupying their own property. IF any
body was guilty of riot it was Williams s
party. They certainly were guilty of tres
pass. If Mr.. Williams had any dispute
with the Wainwrights why didn't he adopt
the usual method of settling it by appeal
ing to the courts in the usual way, and at
his own expense, instead of malicious
criminal suit which never had any founda-
ton and which will cost the people of this
county some two hundred dollars? And
why was not the peoples grand jury smart
enough to learn the facts before finding a
simply malicious Indictment and making
the county unnecessary cost? The legis-
lature ought to take measures to have the
grand Jury system abolished.

Eealthful Stimulation.

Difusible stimulants provided they be absolute
ly pure, are among the most useful medicinal
agents employed by physicians. When the tone of
the system is lowered by the depressing influences
of disease or there is inherent want of vigor in
the constitution they serve to counteract weaken
ing tendencies, and cheer the mind of the despon-
ding invalid. But when, as in the case Of Hostel
ter's Btters they possess tonic and Alternative prop
critics, their effects are rendered permanent and
Bitters not only relieve nervous debility and men
tai depression by their BEAUTIFULLY stimulative &C
ton. but infuses abiding vigor into the depleted
system, and rectiy those internal disturbances
which are the real causes Of weakness. The purity
and the whoesomeness of the alcoholic basis of the
Bitters greatly increases the efficacy Of their bo-
tanic Ingredients, fact which the completeness of
their curative effects sufficiently demonstrates.

ANDREW JOHNSON ELECTED.

The telegraph brings the glorious news
of the election of ex-President Andrew
johnson to the United States senate. This
is result over which there will be great
rejoicing by all who truly value republican
principles and democratic habits. In An
drew johnson we recall one who began his
career as President by refusing gifts, who
passed through the fercest party conten-
tons and the most unprecedented trials
without leaving one stain of dishonor or of
usurpation upon his character, and who
held fast to the great principles of Democ-
racy and human rights in the face of every
difficulty and every temptation. Time
has already silenced much Of the animosi-
ty which grew around the official career of
President johnson, and we dare say it will
soon have silencedit all. There have been
ADLER and wiser men than he; but as for
the embittered controversy which involved
the whole of his presidency, subsequent
events have tended to show that he was in
the right and that the whole array of Re-
publican statesmen were in the wrong.
The laboring interests of the country
will be much benefited by having the great
commoner in the national legislature. His
intimate knowledge of the government
his ineorruptible integrity-and the cordial
sympathy he has for the great industrial
classes conspire at this time to make Mr.,
johnson valuable addition to the senate;
and Heaven knows he will be a most
marked improvement on Parson Brownlow,
whom he succeeds,
