Suicide OF Jamsa Onsa.

Under date of Dec. 18th, Robert

reka Sentinel, the following startling
int diligence Last evening at abon ut
ii o'clock our town was startled by
the announcement that James Opie,
of the firm OF Liddle u opie, larry ing
on the ~butchering business IN this
place and Ward, aud u pioneer of
White Pine county, had committed
suicide. AL day yesterday tire but
cher shop here which Mr.. Ople at
tends was closed. Customers gong
for their meat could obtain no admis-
sion to the premises, all the doors be-
ing locked. AT about II O'clock last
evening SUSPICION OF something wrong
was aroused, when Mr.. Bassett, Sher-
i'll EJECT and Mr.. Mckercher, went
down to the front door of the shop
and broke it in. Upon entering the
back ooIh OF the shop, where Mr..
Opie usually slept, they found him
lying In bed upon his back, as though
lie had undressod and retired for the
night. His right hand was crossed
over his breast, aud by his side lay a
pistol. His mouth was wide open,
and all powder burned, and lie was
cold and stiff in dealh. He had evil

committed some "a hours before IL
was known. The body still lies un-
disturbed awaiting the action of Judge

spected citizen and in good circum-
stances, and no cause is known for
the deed.

Needed Legislation

The people OF White Pine county
will look 10 the present Legislature
for some wholesome legislation OF a
local nature. Our financial condition
demands 1t. Unless something is
done to stimulate u fast. decreasing
county securities we shall surely be
swamped on the rock Of bankruptcy.
With an Indebtedness OF over $780,
900, nearly half of which is bearing
interest at the rate of ten per rent. per
annuln, and which calls for about
one-third ofour entire county revenue,
we cannot hope to stand up under the
lnal unless some measure Is adopted
TO tighten u burden and place us
on n more easy footing. Our county
scrip is now at the mercy OF Shyloeks,
worth but Is cents on the dollar, aud
no one GEMS anxious To lake IL even
at that TIE Salary law, which has
lbeen "A curse To this county, goes out
of effect on the lst of January, and

year behind I'm their salaries. Some
measure must be adopted 10 pay these
back salaries. Our interest hearing

should be rebonded at a lower rate,

the date OF it's issue. A. the Law now
stands the bond holders are the only
parties who are secured against possi-
BILE loss, and the scrip holders have
no securlty whatever TO obtain a dol
lar from the county. This, 1t must
be admitted, is unfair aid unjust.
All creditors should stand on an equal
footing. The bondholders have a.

and heavy weight too, while the
seripholders have got nothing.

county and relieve the growing bur-

their honesty, integrity and expert

our county's welfare, to do for us all
that wise and wholesome legislation
can accom- plish. And II they do, the
people Of White Pine, with one voice,
will rise up and call them blessed.

Jack wh.a,I.y'. M,racaIou. Escape

Vague runIors reached here last
Sunday that John ). Whsatley had
met " ith what must have been a fatal
accident la Taylor a few days previ-
Gus. Great regret WAS expressed by
Mr.. Wheatley's friends here and
hopes were INDUCED that his condi-
ton might not be as bad as reported.
IL now gives MS pleasure to learn from
an authentic ource that Jack IL still
in the land OF tho living, aud las sus-
Iained no very dangerous injuries.
The following account of the accident
and Mr.. Wheatley's condition we
take from the Sentinel's Taylor cor-
respondenee on Monday night of
this week, John Wheatley, of our
most prominent and respected citizens
incl with al accident, which, for the
marselousness of his escape from a
horrible death, Is unparalleled in the
history OF mining. Mr.. Wheatley
WAS in the employ of the Argus Min
ing Company. and was working on
the night shin in the Sun Rise mine.
The shaft in which he was working is
about 40 feet deep. Four feel from
the bottom OF this shaft, a drift had
just been started. Mr., Wheatley aud
Pat Bonner we're working in this drift
which had not been extended over
two feet from the side OF the SHAFT.
The two men had put in three deep
holes, and had loaded them prepara-
tory to blasting them. All things be-
ing ready, Mr.. Bonner went TO the top
TO draw Wheatlry up 10y the windla>s
when the blasts should be fired.
Wheatley fired the fuse and sung out
TO Bonner to hoist. This Bonner did,
WheaiIey having his DOT In the loop
of thr ROPE, hut when In about eight
feet of the top Whsatley's foot slipped
from the loop, and he lost his hand
hold frou the rope, AMI fell back to
the bottom of The shaft, falling owe
30 feet, and Lighting on solid hard
rock. IInmedl lately after he fell To
the bottom. the three blasts only four
feet above him exploded, completely
covering him with rock and debris.
Mr.. Bonner OF course thought he waS

Ell for assistance from other men
working near by. Upon descending
the shan Mr.. Wheatley was found
completely buried and unconscious.
He Was raised To the top and gently
carried To his home, where he shortly
after reco vered. Strange to- say. upon
examination, it was found that no
bones were broken, and that he was
only suffering from the shock and
several external bruises. He Is now

The director of the Botanic Gardens
at Melbourne, Australia, writes as fol-
lows to a friend of charming sight in
Queensland: 81 was perfectly charmed
with the beauty of a series of small
lakes which ran for some miles through
a valley. They were literally covered
with water lilies of three distinct col
ors pink, blue and white. have often
thought since that these lakes ought to
be generally known as the Lakes of the
Red, White and Blue.' | must say
that never beheld more beautiful
sight in my life than those water lilies.
The growth of the pink species (Nelum-
blum we call it botanically) was very
singular. The flowers, nearly as large
as a dinner plate, stood about foot
above the surface of the water, while
the massive LEAKAGE, green as emerald,
was supported on long stalks far above
the flowers, and standing parasol-like ia
shield the floral gems from the scorch.
ing sun.
''rhe blue water plant (Nymphpa)
was less fortunate, though quite as
beautiful as ITS pink neighbor, by having
its flowers and foliage lying fiat on the
surface and it was remarkable that those
flowers which shared the shade of the
pink lily's LEAKAGE were of IA much bright,
er blue. The white variety then came il
to soften still more, or perhaps shoult
say to intensity, the brillancy of the pic
ture, for, like diamonds they glitteret
among the sapphiTes and rubies. -

There is, however, below the shop
girls, the dress-makers, the servants,
and the working girls whom the world
knows, very large class of women
whom the world does not know, and is
not anxious to know. They are the fac
tory hands of London you can see
them, if you wish, trooping out of the
factories and places where they work
any Saturday afternoon, and thus get
them, so to speak, in the lump. Their
amusement seems to consist of nothing
but walking about the streets two or
three abreast, and they laugh and shout
as they go so noigily that they must
need be extraordinarily happy. These
girls are, am told, for the most part
so ignorant and helpless that many of
them do not know even how to use a
needle; they cannot read, or If they
can, they never do; they carry the vir-
tue independence as far as they are able,
and insist on living by themselves, two
sharing a single room nor will they
brook the least interference with their
freedom, even from those who try to
help them. Who are their friends,
what becomes of them in the end, why
they all seem to be about eighteen years
of age, at what period of life they be-
gin to get tired of walking up and down
the streets, who their sweethearts are,
what are their thoughts, what are theiI
hopes-these are questions which nc
man can answer, because no man could
make them communicate their experl.
, ences and opinions. Perhaps only 8
