WOMAN,S WILLS.
A Eureka Female Detective and Her
G ess.

A case in point, where a woman's de-
tective ability WINS called into requisition,
happened in Eastern Nevada not many
months since. a robbery had been COM
mitted. and although the parties who per-
pctrated it were well known, there was no
evidence warranting their arrest. In this
emergency it was remembered that the
thief had what was called in sporting par
lance ga fancy woman a female in whom
he reposed the utmost confidence, and who
WAS a wife to him in everything except the
formality Of o marriage ceremony, 1t was
thought that if her confidence could be
gained a clue TO the whereabouts Of the
the plumber could be had. Casting about
for an instrument, a well-known female
resident OF Eureka was selected to do the
Job. The parties lived at Ward, and the
amateur detective departed for that place
immediately, Arriving there, she took up
her residence close by, and in a short time
she and 'sShoo Fly" the title that the vic
tim bore, were the best Of friends. They
rode and walked together, slept with each
other, and soon were on sue intimate
terms that they got roaring drunk in COM
pany. Then the victim became c0nfiden-
fial' boasted that her s~sfeller" was well
fixed and had a nice hoard put away, the
said pile consisting Of a thousand-dollar
bar Of bullion, which, like truth, was ly-
ing at the bottom of a well. and when the
inquisitive Wells. Fargo & Cos detectives
had given up their hunt for the stolen
property it would be fished out, worked up
and sold, and the chances were that the
happy couple would take a trip either to
Eureka or the Paris Exposition, they had
not made up their minds which. The next
day the intimacy Of the pair was suddenly
dissolved, and the Base Range female was
called back to Eureka ON important bust
ness. There were many signs and a few
tears when the hour of parting came. The
next act on the programme was the ap-
pearance of an officer and detective on the
scene. The bar Of bullion was found in
the well, the thief arrested, and, as the
boys expressed it, they had him ''dead to
rights AT least they thought they had,
and the woman. too-for the Grand Jury
found a joint ILL against both of them for
grand larceny. Here the uncertainty OF
betting on the verdict of a petit jury was
exemplifed, for, Notwithstanding the
strongest chain Of evidence. that body dis
agreed. A new trial will be had next
month, and it is altogether probable that
the couple, instead Of taking in gay Paris,
will take up a permanent residence in close
proximity to the Warm Springs at Carson.
it Is needless to remark that the esteem
and regard previously existing between the
two ladies is a thing Of the past, and is re-
placed by an opposite feeling. AS the
friend who informed us of the above facts
earnestly remarked. s'Put not your trust
in woman, for she is liable to go back on
you any moment"

1t makes no difference how many physicians,
or how much medicine you have tried, it is
now an established fact that German Syrup is
the only remedy which has given complete
satisfaction in severe cases of lung diseases.

sons who are predisposed to throat and lung
affections. consumption, hemorrhages, asthma.

A Plunge Into a. Deep Waters of
the Reservoir.

There was an exciting scene enacted i'll
the vicinity of tho Eureka Consolidated
yesterday morning. 1t was tho sequel to a
series Of domestic infelicities that had dis
turbed a oncc happy household for some
time past. The husband sought unlawful
sweets, and was given to various roamings
and amatory intrigues with female party
much to the discomfort Of the unhappy
wife. She had suffered until forbearance
ceased to be a virtue, and when the hus-
band returned from his inamorata's COM
pany, away along in the small hours, he
injured woman gave him due notice that
she had decided to shuttle off her mortal
coil, and leave him free to bestow his affec-
tons on her rival without further him
drance. Announcing this as her unaltera-
BILE determination, she left the house,
closely followed by her recreant spouse,
who. fearing that she was really in earnest,
tried to persuade her to return. She was
obstinate, however, and as she neared the
reservoir, increased her walk to o run, and
before he could intercept her, plunged
head foremost into the water. As it is
only four feet in depth at the deepest part,
her suicidal effort would have probably
proved a failure, even if the cold water
had not dissuaded her; but she was no
sooner in than she made a brave scramble
to get out, and succeeded in doing it with
ont the aid of her husband, who was in the
act of pulling off his boots to wade out to
her rescue. When she reached the bank
she was in a mood to listen to his promises.
and took up her b~edraggled line of march
homeward. Two or three workmen hap
pened to witness the episode, and they
give the male actor credit for pulling off
his coat and enveloping her shivering form
with that garment. A bad case Of cold
and fever was the natural result, and the
man is now cussing over the prospect of
having to pay a nice little doctors bill for
what he terms the result Of "her id
foOlishness."

The Dcnman Thompson Troupe.


Denman Thompson & Co. open at the
Eureka Opera House tomorrow night.
The following is what the veteran Dan De
guile has to say about them:
The play of Joshua whitcomb comes
pretty near being a joy forever to those
who once have the pleasure OF witnessing
its presentation in the acceptable manner
in which it is now given nightly at piper's
Opera House. We noticed an unusual
thing for Virginia last evening. Among
those composing the audience, and occu-
plying favorable positions, were many who
witnessed the play Sunday evening, and
have nightly held the same benches since.
This tells more for the play and the actor
than q column Of favorable words. Mr..
Thompson hes played the character of I'm
Gle Josh now almost constantly for two
years. He was a finished actor when he
took il up. His rendition of it has been
received with ~unbonnded delight by hun
dreds Of thousands Of the most cultivated
and critical people from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. The audience, as usual, last
evening laughed till they cried and cried
till they laughed again, and went home
better pleased than ever. The attendance
at the matinee in the afternoon YESTERDAY,
and again last evening, was good. The
play is taking unprecedentedly here, and
those who do not see Uncle Josh will have
a lifelong regret left with them when the
season ends.

Eureka as an Amusement Fieia.

Bert's Dramatic Troupe lave struck a
hard streak Of luck since their arrival in
Eureka. The unfinished state of the
Opera House, the bad weather, and a reso-
lutte intention Of the public not to enthuse,
has worked against them, and they have
not had a house that would pay expenses
during their s~ojourn. The company
possesses some merit, and the Lilliputian
attractions would have filed the theater
for a succession of nights two years age.
Those times are past, and we have been
spoiled by the seasons Of tlrst-class enter
tainments that have visited us during the
last year. We have progressed to that
point where nothing but frst-class COM
panies will be ~patronized, and we warn all
snap outfits. that they will consult their
own interests by giving Eureka the go by.
We have been educated beyond them, and
no patronage will be bestowed on any en-
te,tainment, unless talent or legs predomi-
nate. The latter will always draw, and the
former has a good field to cultivate.
