WHY Is THHSe
4 Very Pointed Question Asked by the
HaWAeye,

One day this summer we rode fifty
miles in railway car, seated behind
four men, who were playing with those
awful plaything5 of the devil-cards.
They played euchre until they were tired
oft They played alittle seven-up,pedro,
and occasionally a trife of poker. We
never heard {; dispute. Their bursts of
merriment occasionally at some uneX-
pected play repeatedly drew our eyes
from our book. They never quarreled
and never called names once. After we
GOT out at our station we sat at the win
dow and watched party of young men
and maidens playing croquet. In fif-
teen minutes we saw two persons cheat
successfully. We heard the one player
who did not cheat accused of cheating
fl re times. We he 'rd four distinct bit
ter uuarrels. We heard a beautiful young
Girl tell two lies, and a meek-loOking
young man three, and finally we saw
the young girl throw her ma!let against
the fence SO hard that it frightened
horse the other young girl pounded
her nallet Sc hard on the ground that
it knocked the buds off an apple tree:
they both banged into the house at diff
ferent doors, and the two young men
looked sheepish and went off after
drink. Now, why is this?

following:
Thousands of fish are dying in Don
ner Lake, and the shore of the same is
literally lined with their dead bodies.
Mr.. Teeters informs Republican re-
porter that he and another man picked
up 500 dead fish in a distance of ten
PAGES along the shore. 1t was thought
at one time that the fish were diseased,
but all the fishermen in the vicinity of
the lake are now of the belief that some
miscreant has been exploding giant
powder in the lake for the purpose of
killing the fish. Some Of the fish have
been sent to Commissioner Redding for
examination, and we soon will hear
whether they are diseased or not. Mr.
Teeters keeps the bodies Of fish which
come to the lower end of the lake,

A False RretcnSe.

The Leadville Democrat says "When
men exhibit a false assay, when they
claim TO have mineral and have it not,
and sell claims, take money or other
valuable consideration for worthless
property, they do SO under false pretense,
and are liable, if prosecuted, to land in
the penitentiary. A little attention TO
these homely truths would save much
future trouble in this country"
