did not subside yesterday, but con-
tinued, aud was materially strength
ened toward noon by the closing of the
North st. Louis Savings Association
and the Bank of st. Louis. AS on
Saturday, however the persons en-
gagged In the run arc almost wholly
confined to small shopkeepers. No
merchants or business men OF any pre-
tensions are taking part In It, The
closing of the North 81, Louis Savings
Association is attributed TO shortage
OF $4,000 at the clearing house, Yes

the latter closed 1t had SIS, 900 OF paper
belonging to the Bank of st. Louis,
This caused the latter TO suspend. The
actions Of the North st. Louis Savings
has given rise 10 considerable severe
comment. The banks run on the most
were the Fourth National, Prevalent
Savings, Franklin aveLue aud German
Savings and Boatman's Savings. All
current accounts were promptly met,
! however, and there was vt no time any
noticeable excitement. Other savings
banks were more or less besieged, but
they all asserted their ability TO meet
all just demands. There Is IL strong
disposition manifested on the part OF
small depositors Ia most OF the banks,
especially in savings, TO obtain their
money but substantial merchants and

not apprehend any serious disasters to
follow the present state Of affairs.

An old personal Ohio friend Of the

Is very strong in some sections, ana
that the outlook is not very favorable
for II republican victory IN October
This gentleman, abiding to the order

have "A disastrous effect. Unless the
better class OF citizens come forward
and take hand In political contests
and direct the campaign the control Of
the party machinery will pass into
the hands OF political bummers, who
will manipulate the elections in their

The military on the train returned the
fire, killing one of the mob. This

excitement. Some OF the strikers were
frantic with rage, while fear was do
picted upon the faces Of many in the
crowd. A scene OF confusion Ii now
presented, impossible to describe.
Later--rhe strikers, after the affair
with the military, cut the coupling OF
the cars, rendering II impossible for
the train to move. The train al last

RABBIT RAISING AS AN INDUsTRY.-Here in
Nevada we feel called upon to slay the native
rabbits and hares by the wholesale. They
think differently of the rabbit in Italy The
British Consul at Florence says that the breed
ing of rabbits was entirely neglected in Italy
until 1873, when it was taken up by a firm of
Turin furriers A breeding establishment
was erected with 600 cages for does, with a
larger number of compartments for the young
A store for the sale of rabbits was opened,
and in four months 1900 were killed and
sold The firm not only taught how the rab-
bits were to be cooked, but added example to
precept. They distributed in various parts of
Italy 900 animals of the best breeds, and
have also placed at the disposal of persons of
small means l 800 rabbit families in all 9 200
animals-with their cages. The debt thus
incurred by the receivers is redeemable by
small annual quota of the products, The
firm are pledged to buy, at fixed price, any
number of rabbits that may be bred They
have also introduced into the country the art
of tanning and drying the skins as well as the
process for converting the hair into felt.

AN ATTEMPT TO KIDNAP COMMO
DORE MUTT

The Chicago Times relates the following:
Union Pacific west bound passenger train
stopped at Cozad, in Western Nebraska, on
Thursday night, bold attempt was made to
steal Commodore Nut, who was on his way
to San Francisco with party of other dwarfs
A couple of stalwart and knavish-appearing
men, who took the train at Omaha and had
tickets to Cozad, paying the extra charge for
riding in the sleeper, are supposed to be the
parties to the affair. just before the train ar
rived at the station, both of these men--one
few feet ahead of the other-moved toward
the rear of the car, in which end the Commo-
dore was sleeping One stopped near the
little mans berth, and the other stood near
the door AS the train came to halt the
rear man thrust his arms into Nuts berth
and gathered him up in his arms, and moved
hastily towards the door of the car, which
had been opened by his confederate. The
dwarf struggled and tried to scream, but the
would be kidnapper held his hand over the
little fellows mouth in such way as to stife
almost every sound The porter, however,
screamed for him, which caused several men
to jump out of their berths, one of whom
alighted between the k;dnapper and the dwarf
The villain dealt the half-asleep passenger
blow on the head which felled him to the
foo~. This gave another passenger time to
come up, who struck the desperate on the
head with a slungshot, which stunned him
and caused him to drop the Commodore, who
by this time was making more lusty noise
than all the women in the car, every one of
whom, in concert with the men, were making
a lively racket The kidnappers sprang from
the train and disappeared in the darkness
Great confusion existed on the train for some |
time, especially in the car where the bold act |
was committed, and every one shook the |
Commodore's hand in congratulation over his
fortunate escape.

REFORM THE CIVIL SERVICE!

This is the cry which fools applaud
When issuing from the lips of Fraud,
Which, taken up and borne along,
Sounds like the chorus of a song:
Reform the Civil Service!
Schurz, with his cool, sardonic grin
Bleeds State committees-that's no sin
And rakes the cash and honors In;
But to this air he tunes his chin:
Reform the Civil Service!
John Sherman Honest John the Great,
Drops down upon the Buckeye State,
And, after having fixed the slate,
He leaves these words for gudgeon bait:

And Evarts, with an eye to loot,
Takes salary and fees to boot;
But when he goes to try suit,
Exclaims- strikes his critics mute
Reform the Civil Service!
Alasi alas! its sad to tell,
A cruel fate this crowd befell:
For when they tried to bounce Cornell,
He simply said, ''Oh, go to - well,
Reform your Civil Service!"

THE ARTISTS AFTER-FAME.
BY JANE NJ. READ.
An artist with brush and easel,
Had painted baby face,
With Joy in the eyes OF azure,
And beauty and tender grace
Through hours of untiring patience
The work was complete At last;
The gaze of the the sktllful toiler
Was joyfuly on it cast.
For this will bring commentator;
It speaks with its laughing eyes,
Alive with thoughts Of angels
And grace DER each feature lies.
But for the painters labor
A word of mems praises came;
And saddened, he struggled onward,
Till toiling had brought him fame.
For years in his closet hidden,
The picture was laid away
The workman had finished his labor,
Grown aged and bowed and gray.
At last in the silent churchyard
He slept in unbroken rest,
Then found they the baby portrait,
With rose buds upon its breast
The fingers, that held them fondy,
We're dimped and tinted fair;
And waving DER white thoulders,
Fell traces OF golden hair
And, just the artist formed 1t
In wearsOme years long past,
His toing and struggling over,
1t won the worlds praise at last

THE placers at Gila City were discovered in 165S by MT. Jacob Snively. W. A. Wer- ninger, our present sheriff, went up there to mine few days after, accompanied by Peterman, who was afterwaId killed in Bill Eustis' wagon by ApacheS, near the Sopori ranch. They found only Snively and Birch at work at the mines. Birch afterwai ds died at Ealsteads mill at BLena Vista Within thee months over one thousand men were at woIk there, and all doing well. The diggings lasted good for nearly four years and have been worked on Il smaller scale ever since. The eastern end was called Oroville and was noted for it's coarse gold; S15 to S25 pieces being quite common.

ToM EWING came in on the Gila last Sunday and went on to San Francisco. He gives glowing accounts of the i'm: roved appearance of the Signal Companl's prop erty on the McCrackin l,de. The daily yield of ore is now 60 tons a day ard with ten days work it cou be increased to 100 I e. day. The ore body has improved in quail. y and widened out on the second and third levels A contract has been made with $. C. Miller & Bros to haul 5O tons day to the mill for year. The mill started UP, for regular work, OH the 39th and is expected to crush % tons of ore daily. The Signal mill is pronounced by com. ,etent judges to be the best one ever put up in Ariz0nI. To maie such com olete sue cess under tie cIrcum stances Las called for display of great energy and good man. agement. Ewing has these faculties in abundance, as all of us know, who have been acquainted with him since he came out here. Such men do wo :ders toward building up new country.

DRIFTING sand, out on the Colorado desert, is often serious annoyance to the Southern Pacific railroad people. The co : stantly shifting dunes, are frequently heaped up right on their track. Then the train stops, all ha.:ds turn out to shovel off the sand and the cars come in late, unless the time can be made up, Little blows are attached to the COW catcher of the engines Hey ale let down, by apparatus worked by the engineers foot to within hairs breadth of the rail and can dispose of two or three inches of sand, but more than that calls for Shovels- The wear on wheels and rails is immense, to say nothi g of injury to axles from fine sand getting into the journals.
