ssSUSPENDING,, A DIVORCE.

"I came to tell you this morning that you might as we'll stop them proceedings in chancery for bill of divorce" said a soft-eyed thing about twenty seven years old, as she came into Laramie lawyers office.
 ''Decided to live together as man and wife again, hey ?''
 sNo, not that-not that l You see Oba- diah strolled away to Leadville two years ago, and kind of give me and the kids the grand shake. Since then I've been rust ling in my gentle, unobtrusive manner to make a stake. I've wrote to him occasion ally whenever had leisure, and kind of rounded him up for not chipping in with his assessment, but he never represented That kind of irritatod me, and asked you last week to get me divorce If I paid all the assessments myself I thought 'twould be no more than square to get all the dividends. But this morning I got news from Leadville that has changed my notion little about the divorce" :"
 "Sent you some money, did he ?'
 "No, not that. He didn't even write to me ; but I got a paper with big blue mark around piece in it, which conveys the intelligence that Obadiah was hung there on the 10th by request It seems that he got to jumping. lots and stealing horses between meals, and people got down on him. Then he salted claim over on Buckskin, and sold 1t for $40, ,000 to a tsnderfoot from away down east. He made several howery breaks like that, and | the popular feeling seemed more or less turned against him. Several weeks ago Obadiah stole pair of mules from man who belonged to Kokoma, and next night went back to get neck-yoke and monkey wrench that belonged to the wagon, and happened to run into passle of vigilantes lookin' for 8 job. They took Obadiah over to tall, Timber tree, and let him stand on bronco pony plug under the lowest limb, while they tied a clothesline around his windpipe. Obadiah told them that he was not much of bareback rider, and he didn't know whether he could do the trick or not They slid the cloihesline over the limb and hit the bronco lick with 8 quirt. The bronco was high-life plug, and had been raised ill luxury, so he got mad when they hit him, and lit out some. That left Obadiah in good deal of suspense. He wiggled around little and got embarrass- ed, and didn't seem to know what to do with his hands for awhile. Then he be- came more calm and composed in his man. her, and the crowd made present of him to the coroner. I wrote to the authorities to send me his check-book and statement of Obadiah's bank account, and whatever you're out on this divorce hooraw will be all right; understand, I'd rather let the vigilantes fix up my law business than to die of old age waiting for chancery any, how. That's the kind of grief stricken rel 1 ic am !''

A Spanish writer expresses in El Dia his conviction that "vivisection is the bar barous science which begins to practice on animals and ends with human beings. If nothing is done to hinder the spread of this practice, arms and legs will be sold by those in need, and painful operations will be the fate of the poor. And day will arrive when vicious husband, com ing home at night, will say to his wife, Tomorrow, Dr. Medialuna will come and cut your leg off. What do you say 1? I pray you, consent to it. It is a misfor- tune but have lost your leg by gam bling.'"

 FACTS ABOUT OUR [nstallmGnt Plan

l.
 1st. Our system of selling ev-' erything to furnish house complete and re- ceiving our pay in weekly or monthly install I ments is mutually advantageous to the public and ourselves
 l Ed. It does not enhance the price of goods like the old, irresponsible cred it system, where the honest man had to pay enough to make good the loss on the dishon- est We make no losses and can afford to sell our goods at the lowest cash price, charg- ing only a small percentage after 30 days. Sd. It enables one to furnish a house comfortably or even richly and pay by degrees, thus not feeling it in the least, when it would be utterly impossible to pay all at one time
 4th. By this system our sales are largely increased, and we can afford to give our customers better and larger assort- ment to select from, besides as our sales in- crease our ratio of expenses decrease.
 9th. We never proceed to take our security from person who is sick, out of employment or temporarily embarrassed, but only from those who request us to do so or who manifestly try to defraud us. Purchasers can rely upon being more leniently dealt with than by any saving institution in the state.
 In fact we on our part offer the largest as- sortment at lowest prices, and give liberal time for payment By this means we encour- age all to save their money, in the purchase of substantial comforts. It encourages thrift, economy, ambition and sobriety
 Not single street in this city, or village or hamlet around the city, but has many in- stances of the benefits to be derived from our stallment plan. ,-, -t-.ss.
 No matter what others practice, the above is our method, and we court investigation upon the part of any one interested. p METCALF & LUTHER,

Esmeralda County Items.

The following items of interest are
taken from the Walker Lake BuIte-
tin of last Wednesday:
The Enterprise mine at Coryville,
is working night and day shifts in
the tunnel.
Work on the Jumbo tunnel, at
Coryville, is progressing at the rate
Of about sixteen feet per week.
The Mount Cory Company is
building ore chutes and bins at the
niue. The extra tracks are almost
completed.
Young cattle in Smith Valley are
very rapidly dying of with blackleg.
T. B. Smith is losing from three to
four every day.
The men at work running the tun-
mel on the Rising Sun mine, at Cory
vile, are making good progress.
The mine is looking well.
The farmers down the river and
on Sweetwater Creek are busy thrash
ing, digging potatoes and Daling hay.
The Star mine up Sweetwater Can.
yon, has sixty tons of ore on the
dump that will go $50 per ton.
Twenty mines in the camp of
Sweetwater employ from two to thir-
~ men each. Some of them will
work all Winter.
1t was reparted around town this
week that some men out prospecting
for Antoine Costello had discovered
a six foot ledge carrying about four
feet of very rich galena. The new
find is said to be located about mile
south OF Mexican Station, on the
Mount Cory Road.

Nevada Flour.

+. C. Focus, u practical mill man,
has demonstrated beyond a doubt
the superiority of Nevada wheat tor
-four over California wheat. For
some time there has been a Touring
mill running In Paradise Valley,
Humboldt county, this State, on
wheat raised in Nevada, and it is
ella med while the -four excels in qua :
ity that OF California bra nd 1t can be
made cheaper. The farmers in this
way can profit from their crops by
raising wheat instead Of barley aud
alfalfa, rs a good article of -four can
Always find market. There is an
other valley in this State-one which
Is as fertile and productive as any
where wheat raising could be made
a success. We refer to Mason Valley.
There are many ranchers In Mason
Valley who now complain that they
cannot dispose of the barley and al
falfs they raise. If some enterpris.
ing man or company with a small
amount Of capital would put up a
mill in the Valley there is no doubt
that it would prove to be fine pay,
ing business in short course Of time.
There Is good site for mill
there and it probably could be pur-
chased at a reasonable figure, TOR ii
would be of interest to the people of
that neighborhood to encourage the
enterprise. A small mill with all
the modern improvements would be
what Is needed, for as yet the trade
would not warrant very extensive
works. Now the ranchers are turn
ing their attention to stock raising,
and 1t is a good idea too, but 1t will
be some little time before this will
be a paying business. The mill that
they now have in the Valley is but a
small affair and very ancient in pat
tern, although some very good -four
Is turned out by 1t. The -four is not
sufficiently fine, however, to com.
pete with the California brands, and
therefore there is not demand enough
for it TO encourage ranchers in rails
ing more wheat. But II there was a
first class mill there, that would turn
out -four equal to any, there would
be no trouble in finding a market
for it, as 1t would be cheaper for all
the retail dealers in that part of the
country and in the mining districts
on the line of the G. Il G, to buy 1t
than to have to send to California.
This is a business proposition that it
will pay some one with a little cap
ilsl to invest in.

men, and the Treasurer compelled
at the point of a knife to open the
safe. The burglars then took what
coin was in sight, over $1,000, and
lit out, after locking the Tress-

lock on the safe and it Is mystery
bow the robbers knew that the lock
was not in working order. AS yet
there has been no clue gained to lead
to the arrest of the parties, although
a reward of $1,000 has been offered,
$1,000 for the return of the money
and 81, 900 for Information that will
lead to the arrest of the thieves. The
affair is a very singular one indeed ,
and has caused considerable excite
ment. The Carson Appeal says that
there are SIS men on Nevin's bond,
