CHURCH VERSUS BAR.--Says the Sun.

While the temperance war was in progress
in Hackensack, N. j., several liquor dealers
were indicted for allowing their customers to
throw dice for drinks. Since that time the
town has been extensively placarded with large
show bills announcing that the Church of the
Holy Trinity proposes to hold a fair on certain
days, and that the feature of the occasion is
to be the rafting of $500 piano. "Come
and try yonr luck, is the closing sentence of
the poster The liquor dealers are puzzled
by the failure of the authorities to arrest the
chuach raf1ers.

He dropped in to look over few exchang-

he was tracing with his finger on our table an
outline of the movements of the contending
armies in Bulgaria, the devil came in MUNICH
ing an apple, and the current of conversation
Immediately changed to the subject of fruit.
After drawing comparison between the fruit
grown in California and that produced "back
in the States" as he remembered it, and des-
canting on the superior flavor and plentiful
ness of the latter, he said to the devil: ''Why
back yonder where used to live when was
a boy apples were so plentiful that they used
to feed 'em to the hogs" 81 s'pose you got
all the apples you could eat, them, replied
the boy. He got up to go, and as he went
out he heaved a deep sigh, and said: 'Boys

DEATH OF UNCLE BILLY RODGERS.

The Elko Independent of Wednesday last
has the following obituary notice of man
whose name is very widely known in all these
parts among the older settlers:
Another of the old Pioneers has just depart
ed for "that bourne from which no traveller
returns" At minutes past 9 o'clock this
morning, William Rodgers, one of the Oldest
pioneers of Elko County, and the fatherest
advanced in years, peacefully departed this
life among his friends in this place. The well
known generosity of the deceased in former
years, was the means or keeping him poor,
but at the same time made him fast friends,
and the knowledge of his generous benefac-
tions, indiscriminately distributed during the
early days of this section, drew voluntary re-
spect and esteem from all acquainted with his
history, and secured to him the best of atten-
ton throughought He had through the in.
frmities of age became very much enfeebled,
and was himself fully aware that his earthly
career was drawing near its close, but his
mental faculties retained their vigor to the
last. The life of the deceased-Uncle Billy
as he was Familiarity known-has been most
eventful one, but beyond comparatively few
incidents occurring toward its close we are
unable to speak, as we have no means of ascer-
tanning them. He was native of Kentucky,
and passed the greater part of his boyhood
days near Lawrenceburg, Indiana, upon the
Ohio river. Possessing an adventurous spirit,
the first news of the discovery of gold
in California, started him for Ell Dorado, and
crossing the plains, arrived in the Golden
State; among the first of the '49-ers. In the
following year he was elected Sheriff of Ell
Dorado County, and about the same time was
commissioned jor in the State service;
and took an active part In the Indian war
which ensued. In 1868 he moved to Utah
where he remained until the following year,
when receiving the appointment of Indian
State making the territory now embraced in
Elko County his home since that time
Deceased built the first house erected in
this county, which is still standing upon the
ranch of Norman Wines, near the old Over
land place in Ruby Valley, and until the last
few years, since his strength failed, pursued
'he business of ranching. A great portion of
the past year was spent in Star Valley, among
the members of the Griswold family, his most
warm and intimate friends. He was man
of wonderful vitality, and although the vicis-
STUDIES of strangely eventful life, coupled
with the encroachments of years rendered
death probable at any time, but however ex
pected, the announcement that Uncle Billy
is no more, will cause feeling of sorrow to
invade every hamlet and ranch within a cir
cult of hundred miles.
Born in 1898, he had reached the ripe age
Of 81 years.
