THE RATS BEAT THE NAN.

On a wager of 5000, VIM. Henry
Lewis tried to pick up AMI put in

OF agreement stipulated that to win.
Lewis would have to transfer the rats
from the PIT to the barrel in sixty
minutes, and the work to be done
witt, bare hands and arms. Lewis is
a Philatielphian and forty years old
He has hal Is years experience as
a professional rat catcher. For fye

Twice he won money in New York
by picking up rats within given
time. On one occasion he won $5O
by picking up rs of the animals IN
10 minutes. They were rats he had
handled before. and he escaped
without being bitten. The exhibi

in life with the idea that ones sue

canery. They imagine, if man is
able always to get the best of a

is a great mistake. Enduring pros.

and her firm determination to have
and to do her share of the work in
this working world, not merely In
household drudgery, but in every field
of human effort not closed to her sex
by fair construction of social and
business proprieties.
Some of the most repulsive exhlbl
lions Of masculine meanness that Oul
age has witnessed have been the
various phases of opposition to wo

to vote and go to Congress not the
alleged right to manage primaries
dispense patronage and boss State
conventions, but the undeniable, in
alienable right to earn her bread te
use her mental and physical powers

Examination Of Hydrants.

A committee from Winnemucca Hose
Company No. went around to the
various hydrants in town yesterday on
a tour of inspection, and found them to
be in reliable and working condition,
each capable Of doing efficient work in
throwing out goodly stream Of water
whenever occasion may require. VIM
nemucca has now twelve hydrants, ten
OF which are under the immediate
control of the Fire Department, two
of them being private property. The
members of the Fire Department are
entitled to very great deal of credit
for their watchfulness OF the interests
of our citizens in being ready to answer
the call for assistance when the fiery
elements prevail, and are always care
full to have their fire apparatus in work
ing order, and the hydrants in the best
possible condition; and it is but meet,
when in the hour of danger the guardi-
ans of their property are ever ready to
exert their best endeavors for their
welfare, that when at times assistance
may be needed 10y them to put their
apparatus in good working order, they
should always extend to them help
ing hand.

as can possibly be. The various offices
of the courthouse have ell undergone
the process Of repairs, and now show 0
very presentable appearance. The
window. blinds Of the whole establish
ment have been rejuvenated and newly
arranged. The roof of the building has
been remodeled and covered with q
new dress of corrugated galvanized
iron, put on in the most workmanlike
manner, and will henceforth be imper.
vious to rain or snow. The cupola and
portico have received attention and
both been newly painted. Gas fixtures
are being introduced throughout the
entire structure, and when this line of
improvement is completed, the court
house will be illuminated with bril-
liant light. The work done in and
around the building is worthy of com +.
mendation.
