DESIRABLE ACCESSIONS.
A Few Of the Families who Recently
Came Here to Settle.

There has been quite an accession
to the number Of families living in
HALEY, during the past few days.
Mrs. Strahorn, mother of Robert E.
Strahorn, Manager of the l. & O..
Company, arrived yesterday morning,
with her little daughter, from Los
Angeles, California, where the family
home has been for some years past.
She left her 14-year-o!d son in charge
of the homestead, and will send him
instructions to sell and come out here,
if she likes the country. Mr.. Stra-
horn, Senior, who has lived on the
outskirts CT town for the last eight
months, likes the country very we'll,
and has no doubt but that his wife
will like it, too, Notwithstanding the
rigor of our climate.
Mrs. Waters, wife of the Receiver
Of the Land Office, also came in yes.
terday, with three children. Mrs.
Waters left very comfortable home
within four miles of Oswego, Kansas
to follow her husband here; but she
does not regret it, and thinks she will
like the Wood River country.
\ son of Captain Hammers ar
rived this morning, and the remainder
of the family will follow in a few
days.
Mrs. McMaster, of First avenue
near Croy, who has been East since
last fall, also returned last Friday, de
lighted at the evidences of progress
observable on all sides in Haley.

Enough's Enough.

Every million dollars man accu-
mulates after he has a competency is a
weight upon his brain. He does not
enjoy the money and nobody else can.
What does it profit man to gain a
bushel of money and lay awake at
night and see spooks, and roll and
tumble on a soft bed until every nervr
is on strike? a millionaire who can
take fish.pole and 20 off to pond
and forget what he is worth has got
all easy time, but few can do it. The
spectacle Of man who has got Sc, OOO,.
900 blowing his brains out las was re.
Gently the CASEY ought to make thous-
ands who are rich and are rushing 70,
more, stop and think, and then qui,
business and 60 fishing.

THE BRANCH ROAD.
1t is Already Paying Good Returns en-
the Investment.


the Investment.
There are few residents on the river
who realize that the railroad company
are deriving much revenue from their
branch road to HALEY, but the fact is
that the traffic is quite remunerative.
AS to the passenger travel it is doing
sufficiently we'll, and the passenger
coach is about as we'll occupied each
way as on most branch roads. The
freight traffic is increasing, and from
three to four cars of base bullion and
ore going out daily is about the aver
age counted upon.
The incoming freight is considera.
bic, as last Fridays receipts, which
are about regular average, will show
they were three cars Of general mer-
chandise for Haley merchants, seven
cars of iron ore, four cars of col .
and three cars of coal for the Phila-
delphia Company's smelling works, or
II cars loaded with incoming freight.

A Funny Mistake.

Some time ago an editor had what
was called "a cystic tumor" in his
throat, and one of his contemporaries
stated that "Mr. Blank is suffering
from a sciatic tumor on his neck" OF
course this was All error; but Il greater
error is the mistaken idea that pre-
walls among some people that scia,ic
pains cannot be cured. Not only
those pains, but Rheumatism, will
yield to the action of Salicylica, one
of the most reliable remedies of mod
ern times. alml

A FIRE LAST NIGHT.
1t Did Little Damage, but the Whole
Town Might Have been DESTROYED.


About II O'Clock last night log
ca bin situated in rear of Mrs. Cram.
toms lodging-house, on River street,
was found to be on fire. An alarm
was promptly given. and a couple of
hundred citizens were soon on the
ground, doing what they could to put
out the FIRE. The Bingham brothers,
assisted by Others, took up log and,
using it as battering ram, tore the
house down. A few pailfuls of water
then subdued the fire to a point when
all present agreed that it was beyond
danger. For a while, as the flames
shot out from the roof and threate ned
to communicate with an adjoining
stable filed with hay, it seemed as if
the fire must spread into a disastrous
conflagration but when buckets
were finally brought to the spot
some citizens worked with a will,
bringing water from spring near by,
and the danger was soon overcome.
The cabin was owned by 81. Lee, a
Bullion expressman, who says that it
was unoccupied Three men were,
however, known to sleep there; and
they ran out, last night, leaving their
blankets in the house, which were
destroyed. Loss, about $3.50.
The occurrence recalls to mind the
fact that there is no fire department
in Haley. Some ono should take
hold, and organize company-some
one who will not permit the company
to die unnoticed. Who will take
hold?

ANOTHER FIRE.

As the people were returning from
the River street fire, another alarm was
given. The fire, this time, was in the
rear of the Nevada Chop House. A
Chinaman threw some hot ashes in a
barrel, the latter caught fire, and the
flames soon communicated to the
fence. The night Waterman, assisted
by citizen, put out the FIRE just as it
began to spread.

WEDNESDAY, EVENING. OCT, II, 1888.
The Lay Judges.

A Mauch Chunk correspondent says OF
Judge Henry Il. Packer, the successor OF
his father, the late Asa Packer, as lay
associate Judge of Carbon county, that
he is almost continually on the bench
and very attentive to the discharge OF Its
duties. 1t may probably seem strange
to many persons that gentleman OF
Mr.. Parker's wealth and varied and
wide reaching business interests should
accept the place Of associate Judge in
the little county of Carbon, and that
even having taken It., he should give to
the discharge of its duties the assiduous
attention which is related of him. But
1t is greatly to his credit that he so iitiy
discharges this act of respect 10 us
reyered fathers memory and to the com
munity OF which he and his interests
are such a large part. The position
of associate Judge is one that is
underrated in popular appreciation
only because of the undersize OF the
men who so often are chosen to 1t. IL
ia really one of dignity and ii properly
filed its incumbent renders valuable
public service. 1t is not n commendaole
feature of the new constitution that N
so many counties of the state entitled to
be separate judicial districts the Office
has been abolished and this connecting
link between the legal judiciary and the
people has been broken. In counties
where there is now but single judge
be has such unlimited absolute powers
IN matters of discretion rs are scarcely
known to any other public office under
our governmental system, and 1t would
be much better to have his powers tenn
pered by the advice and coordinate
authority of the old fashioned " side
iudges," taken from the body of laymen
in matters where strong common sense
and practical knowledge of every day
life are more essential to " distributiv'
Justice" than the refnements OF lega
lore.
To be sure in mauy counties wher'
the Office is still in existence the met
who are elected to the place are mol
chosen with regard to their fitness for 1t
but this is no more reason for con
demnation of the institution than
IA the incapacity of the average juror a
valid argument against the jury system.
Not long ago the attention OF the whole
country was drawn to the service upon
aquarter sessions jury in PhiladeIphia
OF SO eminent a man as Mr.. Randall,
and it had the good effect of recalling
popular attention to the fact that the
way to elevate the jury system was sim
ply to get better men into the jury box
If the example of Mr.. Packer president
of great railroad and one of Pennsyl
yania's millionaires, patiently, indus
triously and intelligently discharging
the honorable aud responsible duties of
associate Judge will rehabilitate this OF
fise in deserved esteem his service and
himself will be doubly hOnored and a
public benefaction will have been
wrOuuht
