That Bathing Suit.

An Aurora man came down last
week and learned that everybody had
a bathing suit Now they don't know
much about bathing in Aurora, but
his town pride would not permit him
to acknowledge his. ignorance. Ac-
cordingly lie YlI:id one made, and was
assured that it would answer every
purpose, On Sunday afternoon, he
took the suit back to the maker and
demanded a return of the money. The
suit was" no good; he had put it on
when he took his Sunday morning
wash, and if was a good deal worse
tifan none. He could not soap him.
self at all. (9The soap. slipped down
his back and caught in the waist-b band
and made him more trouble than the
whole suit was worth. The suit was
either a poor fit or it was not made
right, for he had tn take it off to get
the soap-suds washed off, and when he
stepped out of TIE bucket he splashed
water all over the floor. The suit was
taken back at a slight deduction from
the original cost; and the gentleman
from Aurora returned to the bed-ridden
town to inform the citizens that of all
the fashions brought in by the rail
road, bathing. suits were the silljest,
an that the old style of getting into
tub with nothing on is much better
il clean wash is desired.

John McKenna Drowned.

Last Wednesday evening John Nc.
Kenna, 0. D. Lang, George Logan,
Fred Osgood and Lige Ellis drove
down to Walker Lake for swim.
After swimming short time, they all
started for the shore, passing McKenna
on the way in.a When they passed
him he was wading in the shallow
water, but a short distance from the
beach, and had nothing happened,
would have been out almost as soon as
they. After all We're dressed, they
missed him, and Ellis finally waded
out in the direction in which he was
last seen and found him floating on
his face dead. The water was bout
three feet deep where he was found,
and this, in connection with the fact
that he was an excellent swimmer
leads to the belief that he was taken
with an, apoplectie fit. His friends
had not been on shere five minutes,
when, being in hurry, they called
for him to come ON, and, receiving
no answer after repeated calls, Ellis
thought something must have hap
pened and went out for him.
John T. McKenna was a prominent
insurance man and Notary Public
and was known to almost everybody
in Nevada. He WAS Il native of Mary
land, bat passed most of his childhood
in New Hampshire, where he received
his education. At the time of his
death he was about forty-four years
old. His wife and four children are
in San Francisco in destitute circum-
stances.
Justice Hawthorne held an inquest
on Thursday, and the verdict OF the

According to the territorial law
regulating the possession Of Office
the old Board Of School Trustees Of
this District will continue to wear
the ermlne, or swallOw-tail tOgs, for
the ensuing twelve months. Why (?
Simply because there were not a suf-
ficient number Of electors In the city
to take enough interest in the mat
ter to step up to the polls Saturday
last and exercise theirprerogative to
produce change. Not that a change
was needed, and from the indiffer-
ence shown it is easy to conclude it
was not because a change was
wanted. 1t is true that it was not
generally known that an election for
School Trustees was to take place,
and even II it had been made public
at every street by the brazen below
ings Of bass drum it is doubtful If
the proceedings would have been
marked by any undue exertion on
the part Of those whose duty it Is to
elect men topositions Of public trust.
We are not growing at the perpetu-
lty of the power Of the present
Board. They are all honorable men,
and capable Of managing the affairs
OF common country school, which
we are sorry to say must remain
such under the peculiar laws Of the
territory that were framed by men
who considered higher grades too
much Of luxury to be INDUCED in
by the poorer portion Of the popula-
tion. Indeed, 1--WE believe the gen.
tlemen perfectly able to oversee any
kind of an educational system, be it
primary or advanced, and have no
fears that our public institute of
learning will deteriOrate a particle
under the fostering care of the pres
ent members. Yet while there was
no opposition it would have looked
more like public spirit and enter
prise If the citizens had shown some
life and by giving the old Board two
or three hundred votes proved to
the world that as a community they
were wide awake to the importance
of schools, and that they explicitly
believe in showing their interest in
that great civilizer-the free schools

VIM. Kaiser, who manages the widely
known Spraguo House Of this city, has
seized upon a new idea and is about car
rying it into execution. He has a party
OF carpenters engaged building a neat
little house directly along the car track,
east Of the depot, where he proposes to
open lunch stand for the benefit Of the
travelling public. Train men and passen-
gers are belated every day, and are in
need OF cold and hot lunches. Mr.. Kaiser
proposes to supply this want. He will
have the eating room comfortably fitted
up, and will keep grub on hand at all
hours, warm or cold. He will he ablo TO
furnish travellers with anything from a
cup Of coffee and a sandwich, to sump-
tuous meal. He will be prepared to fit
out lunch baskets for travellers, contain
ing everything in the eating line. As this
is the only place along the line from st.
Paul to Portland where lunch can be pro-
cured in this shape it is bound to prove
profitable undertaking.

The cherries prospect of winter
has no effect upon the searchers after
gold. He gOeth forward in spite Of
all obstacles and braves the chances
of long, severe season in order to
be near bis idol, even though he
knofsthat there is no possibility Of
his delving for the much-longed-fOr
metal with the ground covered with
snow and frigldlty about the at
mOsphere that prevents outdoor
work. Almost every day miners
pass through the city bound for the
C9ur dAlene diggings, all expectant
and hopeful. Numbers who have
spent some time i'm the mines and do
not feel that they could repay them
selves by remaining cOOped up sew
eral months, are now retiring to
civilization, with the full determine
tiOn OF going back the moment the
icy fingers Of winter commence to
slacken their hold on things terrest-
al. From one of these persons we
learn that the several hundred men
distributed along the creeks were
awakened by snow storm of a light
character to realize their exposed
condition, and for the nOnce the pick
and rocker were thrown aside and
everybody started in to make them
selves as comfortable as possible.
The result is that many log houses
have been erected during the past
fortnight, and quite village has
sprung up at the intersection OF
Prichard and Eagle creeks. From
all we can learn several hundred peo-
pie will remain on the ground this
winter. Several parties have opened
stores, and some very large stocks Of
merchandise have been taken in.
Public sentiment has not wavered in
regard to the extent and value OF the
mines, and those who have made
thorough examinations and are Gu
pable OF passing Judgment are con-
WINGED that the Ceur dAlene dig
gings are as good as any that have
ever been worked on the coast. Next
spring will see the rush, and most
tremendous rush il will be.

In response to the notice calling
for mass meeting to discuss the
project Of building wagon road
into the CPur d'Alene mines a num-
ber of citizens assembled in CannOn's
Hall last Saturday evening, and held
and animated talk over the PROPOSE
tiOn. There was not that spOntan-
eous Outburst Of enthusiasm that we
should take delight in chrOnicling,
and the crowd was not so great but
that the hall would hold the audience
comfortably. still those present
were in earnest and several of our
prominent citizens spoke warmly on
the subject and pointed out the great
necessity Of n good road from SpOk-
ane Falls into the mines, showing
that from the natural position they
are tributary in large degree to
this city. One energetic speaker
builded upon his elOquence until he
pictured Spokane as the Denver Of
the Northwest. OF course this flight
of fancy is not impossible, and the
only thing that will at all prevent
our city from developing to Il great
size will be the apathy Of the people,
and il through want Of public spirit
we do not grasp the opportunities
within reach hereafter, no one will
sbe to blame but ourselves. II takes
no wise man to fOrsee the influence
that the mines is to have upon in
cTeasing the growth Of this city, and
anything that can be done to ad-
vance the interests Of the place
should be done promptly. The i'm
pOrtance Of a good highway leading
from this commercial centre into the
midst Of the mining country needs
no argument 1t is too plain TO every
one to require long discourse.
With next spring regular lines Of
stages will be plying between Spok-
and Hayes City, and the road will be
crowded with freighter's wagons.
The road is more practicable from
the point proposed through the
mountains than anywhere else. II
can be Travelled when all other trails
and outlets are impossible. The
Falls cannot command all the trade,
neither do the business men expect
ii, but situated as they are they can
have the greater share, and that Is
worth making an effort to secure. At
the meeting it was decided that
prompt measures should be taken to
secure the proposed road 81 900 was
subsdribed on the spot and a COM
mitteetHas appointed to solicit fur
ther subscriptions. 1t is true that
our people are too frequently called
upon to aid with money various OBJ
lects, yet few propositions asking for
financial aid have ever been submit
ted from which such a royal return
may be safely counted upon. 1t Is
to be hoped that no effort will be
spared to push the road through at
the very earliest date.
