Mrs, VIM. limerick has been insane for
the last two weeks, and became SO violent
Yesterday that her husband was forced to
call upon Officer Walsh, who, for safety's
sake, confined her in the ~jsiler's room at
the County Prison, which was considerable
" given over to her use by Mr.. Kaye. Her
mania seems to be that she is poisoned,
and she ia very suspicious and excitsbleo on
this point. She also thinks it her haPpiest
employment to collect and give away ev-
erything she has. On her recent return
from San Francisco she only had two suits
OF clothes left out OF an elaborate and rich
wardrobe. She would get the Indians to-
gether in her yard and deal out to them
all the eatables raw and cooked that she
could lay her hands on. A day or so ago
she was seen distributing a bucket Of eggs
10 them, one Of whom she also handed .
roll Of fresh butter. When conducted to
the prison yesterday she seemed TO take
the place for an Insane Asylum, and said:
80. yes, l have been here before. 1t was
at Stockton, though, thirteen years ago."
The place was cool and she seemed to DO
contented In her new quarters. She would
talk nationally enough at intervals, when
ell Of q sudden she would rave again.
There is q Chinsman in the cooler whom
she keeps frightened out OF his wits, and
flying around at her beck and call. During
her arrangement her husband has staid
with her all the while and waited on her
with the utmost tenderness in the hope OF
recalling her to reason, but in vain. He
spent last night with her in the j~ailer's
room.

At the Eureka Con. reduction works the
company have a bath-house, in the upper
part OF which are placed two tanks, each
containing 500 gallons Of water, for the
use OF the employees at the works. Into
each tank ia introduced q steam pipe from
the works, by which the water is warmed
up to a pleasant and wholesome tempera-
ture. There are ten apartments in the
~bath-house, in each Of which is a shower.
The men who work at the furnaces on
going to their labor strip and leave their
dress clothes in the house aud don their
overalls. After their work is over they
take q bath, by which the pores Of the skin
are freed from lead deposits, then they re-
sumo their street apparel and emerge,
feeling fresh and comfortable. 1t has been
found that this bathing has had an excel
lent result, there being now in consequence
of 1t very few men loaded at the works.
The luxury il not denied to an occasional
visitor from the outside. The quid nunc

courtesy Of one Of tho finest democratic
baths there yesterday that he ever enjoyed
in his life. The gentlemen down at the
Eureka Con. works know how to treat
visitors and make them feel happier for
the visit.

Probably Fnul Play.

Night before last about IL o'clock three
shots were fired in the Chinese quarter on
North Monroe street and were distinctly
heard by several persons. The matter
was investigated by Officer Mayor, whose
beat is in that section, and, although he is
satisfied that a Chinawoman has been shot
and probably killed, he has not been able
so far to get any definite particulars. The
case thus far developed is this: The Chi
nawoman referred to was in dispute be-
tween two Celestials. one of whom be-
longed to one Of the two companies
and the other to the other. One Of the
disputants who had possession Of the
IN who has disappeared and cannot
be found was dispossessed and there was
an irrepressible row. All the cireum-
stances lead TO the inference that the dis
appointed or bilked sutton took revenge
by shooting and killing the woman whom
all the Cinnamon have united to conceal.
The same thing has happened here once
or twice before.

Look Out For Fires and Don't Ring
Alarms UnnecessariIy.
A very considerate gentleman Of Eureka
called at the SENTINEL Office yesterday and
begged US, for the public good, to say to
the community that it is indiscreet to ring
the fire bells without just occasion for
alarm. He Gays there has not been a fire
Of any moment for a good while, and, in
the ordinary course OF events, we ought to
be looking out for q blaze just now.
Alarms, if false and often repeated, will
dull the sense Of the people to such an ex-
tent that after a while, az the shepherd in
the fable, they will not respond when the
cry Of wolf is sounded. The propriety Of
the suggestion is evident. The gentleman
tells us also that our folks are lulled into
fancied security by that which should
place them on the qui vive-the fact that
we have had no conlagration for a long
time. He Gays we are in danger OF a big
fire every hour in the "a, mostly on
account of the myriad Of stovepipes that
project only a few feet above wooden
roofs. Look out for those pipes, he says.
In one instance he was riding up Main
street and the wind was blowing. A fire
from that quarter would have swept the
town. He noticed a stovepipe actually
leaning against the shingles of the caves.
A little tin box. which had been used as a
separator, had fallen out. If a fire had
been kindled in the stove after the box had
fallen there would certainly have been a
blaze. And again, beware of combustibles
in the back yards. A spark in u little pile
Of dry trash or paper may destroy half the

The Reno Journal says: Judge Edwards
has ordered the Coombs case transferred
to Washoe for trial. OF course the ex-
pense OF the trial will be paid by Ormsby
County, but the law makes it the duty OF
all officers to collect fees in advance, and
are liable on their bond for all fees MOI SO

Worse still, they are liable to be proceeded
against criminally for any neglect OF this
duty. The officers are not quite clear as
TO the proper way to proceed in this mat
ter. 1t is q State case in which they are
not supposed to charge fees. salaries cover
ing all such services. II they do not
charge fees Washoe cannot collect from

It their duty TO collect in advance and paw
1t over TO the Treasurer. No one doubts
Ormsby's ability or willingness n pay, but
what troubles the officers most 10 whether
1t is their duty under the circumstances to
require Of Ormsby County Q deposit in

these places of amusement call attention to
the number of tons of ice they use nightly

necessary to offer any attraction save the
play. 1t is clear that there must be enough
people in New York even in the fiery days

A Very Good Substitute for the I'm
pOrtant Article.
One Of our exchanges, abiding to the
adulteration Of imported tea, says: There
grows in the sagebrush and desert lands
in Nevada and Utah a shrub, called by
the Indians ''tempah." which, when made
into an infusion, cannot be distinguished
by taste from the Chinese tea. It is q
blood purifier, and Indians and whites
use it for medicine. Many of the miners
Of Eastern Nevada nave acquired . taste
for it, and prefer it to the tea of the stores.
Its effect is q mild stimulation, about the
same as is produced by tea or coffee, and
no harmful or injurious effects follow its
use. The plant grows wild, but could be
cultivated. 1t might be a good idea for
somebody to prepare it for market, and
those who use it would have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that if they were not
drinking tea they were drinking some
thing devoid of chemical adulterstion
anyhow.
