Fol. PROBATE JUDGE.

George NJ. Parsons announces him
self a candidate for reelection to the
Office of Probate Judge Of Alturas
county.
During his incumbency Of the office
Judge Parsons has been called upon
to decide many important cases, in
volving law points that would have
puzzled many attorneys, yet his deci-
sions have very generally been af-
firmed by the higher court; and, in
fact, we have vet to hear of the re-
versal Of a single one Of them.
The office Of Probate Judge is one
requiring in the incumbent more
sound common sense than knowledge
Of law, allied with an honest endeavor
to do the best possible toward all li,i-
giants. These qualifications Judge
Parsons possesses in an eminent de.
gree, and his conduct has been such.
Oh the bench, as to win the respect Of
all interested parties.
Beng somewhat an old resident of
Alturas county, and always promi-
nently identified with her public af-
fairs, Judge Parsons has made many
enemies, who do not scruple at the
means employed to affect his stand
ing. a bitter fight was especially
made against him last spring, and
when the grand jury met it was gen
orally expected, SO positive had been
the charges against him, that a verita-
BILE nest of corruption would be un.
covered in his office bu., to the
dismay Of his enemies and the gratih-
cation of his friends, that body no,
on v exonerated him from all blame,
but paid him deserved compliment
for the able manner in which he dis
charged the duties of the office.
Having done so well, it is due tc
Judge Parsons and the people Of Al
turas county that he be reelected.

Some liberal philanthroplsts OF

the Piute Indians at Winnemucca.

vate the hearts and warm the bodies

A Cloud with a Golden Lining.

A woman, feeble and bent with age
and overwork, stepped into New
York horse-car. She hobbled into a
seat-fortunately there was one va
cant-and depositing her bundle on
the floor, proceeded to tumble in her
pockets for the fare. After much
searching she produced a quarter,
which she handed the conductor. He
returned the change to her trembling
fingers, but before she could put it in
her pocket piece-probably dime
fell to the floor and was lost be-
tween the Stats at her feet. In vain
did she try to find it. 1t panied her
to bend SO low, and with a look OF
resignation she gave it up. A tall
man dressed in black sat facing her
and watched her intently as she lean
ed back in her seat. His hand went
to his pocket, then, stooplng forward,
he appeared to be looking for the lost
coin, and with an "Ah. here 1t is,
madam" he stretched his hand to the
floor, and raising it, deposited the
money in her lap. He arose and I'M
mediately left the car The old wo-
man beckoned to the conductor and
showing him a FIVE dollar gold piece,
asked if he had not given it to her by
mistake. He assured her he had Civ
en- her two dimes. She could not un'
derstand how she came by 1t, but
few of the passengers could, ana az
she put her hands to her face to hide
the tears of JOY that dimmed her eye'

LETTER FROM MISSOURI.

DEAR WoRLp:-1 have seen much
of Missouri this winter, and as there
are many Missourians in your locality
| will try to tell them something Of
the Missouri of to-day. To begin
with, there are railroads everywhere
here now, and the steam whistle is as
common as the howl of cayotes on the
plains. Towns have sprung up where
there were no towns before and never
would have been but for railroads.
The customs and manners of the peo-
pie are entirely changed, but am not
willing to say that they have changed
for the better. l am a little mad about
some things, but suppose | will have
to pocket my chagrin till | get back
to Idaho. | have not been coon hunt
ing vet, and nobody seems to care
about taking me. They don't seem
to appreciate my twenty years yearn-
ing for coon hunt. | don't hear any
jangling about who has the best coon
dog; but it's all railroad talk. "Smash
up on the Wabash;" ''the 1890 pas
senger on the M. K. & 7. is 20 min
utes late;'' zone hundred mules frozen
on the G. & A." and similar express
sions, mingled with the whistle and
scream of engines, can be heard at
all times and places. l have not seen
a pair of jeans pants since came
here. The style of dress has entirely
changed. You meet dude at every
street corner, and the girls act as
though they thought God had made
mistake and put their features on the
wrong side of their heads. If thl:
bang business keeps on I'll venture
the prediction that in fifty years more
the women will have hair growing al
over Their faces, and the Darwinial
theory Will prove itself.
| have seen corn bread on the table
but once, and | think that was espe
cially for my benefit. Wire fence
running everywhere, right throug
the forests where they have to roll tn
logs in heaps and burn them out
the way; and the wire is fastened o.
cedar posts that are brought hundred
OF miles on these railroads. You ca
/ imagine what they will do for thos
deserts out there in the way of furn
4 ishing cheap fencing. But the mos
notable change of all is in the negr
n population. I'm not going to tell yo

Colonel George Smith, who was Livingston

read by thousands, most Of whom send here
