Lester Wallack's charming drama.
"Rosedsle." was very credisably produced
Thursday night in tho Opera House by the
Eureka Dramatic Club. The play had
never before been given in Eureka, and
was to many present entirely new. It's

Suicide I'm n Nevada Block
Thursday Morning.

fsPEoIAL TO THE SENTINEL
SAN Francisco. Dec. l2.-As near as can
be learned the following IL the true YER
sion Of the tragedy in the Nevads Block
yesterday morning:
Shortly before IL O. W. Brown, an en-
gineer, residing in Cheyenne. Wyoming
Territory, entered the Office OF John A.
Benson, land surveyor, in the Nevada
Block, and after passing a time OF the day
abruptly said: benson. I am In trouble
with woman in Cheyenne and want your
advice and help" Benson replied that he
was busy and he rose to 60 out. When he
reached the door of his office he half
turned to further excuse himself for leav.
Ing 80 unceremoniously, when Brown drew
q revolver, and without saying q word,
Aired. The ball struck Benson on the left
cheek. Brown fired again, taking effec.
in the neck. This wound gave rise 10 the
telief that Benson's throat had been cut,
as IL was bleeding profusely from the
wound when found. Brown then turned
the revolver on himself and fred three
shots. but realizing hat no had not killed
himself he seized o large paper cutter
lying on the desk and ~furiously thrust II
into his neck. The blow was so well
aimed and with such savage force that il
passed almost through and severed the
jugular vein. He dropped TO the floor
alongside OF his victim. and in q few min.
utes he bled to death. A policeman
who happened to be near the door
Of j. o. Floods Office. the bonanzs
millionaire, heard the shots and
rushed into Benson's Office. but too late te
prevent further mischief. No word OF
sign of life could be extracted from
Brown, who was then in the last agonies o.
asath. Benson on being raised up quickly
said that he had not had any dispute with
Brown, and that he had known him fol
several years; that he had many land trans
scsions with him. and beyond some bust.
ness disputes did not know why he should
shoos him or take his own life. Benson ID

A sneni6o for HinOnnrh.

DR. Henry Tucker recommends,
in the Southern Medical Record,
the use of the following very sim
pie remedy iu the treatment Of hie-
cough: Moisten graduated sugar
with good vinegar OF this give
to the child from a few gra MS to
teaspoonful The effect, he says, is
almost instantaneous, and the dose
needs to be repeated. He
has used it for all ages-from in
fants of a few months old to those
on the down-hill side of life, and
has never known it to fail. The
remedy is certainly very simple
one, and although no theory Is adj
vanced to account for its wonderful
action, it merits trial.

A Harvest Time.
Correspondence Rural Record,

correspondence mural hecOTus
The difference between thorough
and slip-shod farming is always
more pereeptible at harvest time
than at any other. And it is at
this time more than any other that
the farmer who has taken pains to
thoroughly prepare the land, secure
good seed, and sow properly and
then give thorough cultivation, Sc
cures the satisfaction of feeling
that all his work has not been in
vain. His crops are good, and his
year at farming has been profitable.
While, on the other hand, the farm
er who hurriedly plowed his land
and concluded he would save time
by planting his seed and then put
ting his land in good condition, and
then failed because he could not
find time, when he thought 1T ought
to be done, and at last concluded to
let it go and trust to good luck,
good weather or some other provi-
Dental miracle, to insure him a
profitable crop. Let the, season be
what it may, we must attend to our
part OF the work first. You cannot
secure the best results without good
soil, good seed, good tools and good
work. Each are essential, and
each. in measure, dependent upon
the other.
If the season is uufavorable we
may not secure the largest Weld,
but as a rule the increased price
will go a long way towards
making up the deficiency; while
with a favorable season, good crops
are secured, generally enough over
the average to make the crop a
profitable one.
OF course with a favorable season
often profitable crops are raised, yet
this is hardly a proof that if better
and more thorough preparation had
been made, better seed secured and
used, and improved machinery used
in preparing the land, planting the
seed and cultivating the crop, the
result would not have been better.
Profitable farming means bust
ness farming and this entails max
ing every effort to raise the largest
yield possible. And that kind of
farming always shows at harvest
time, and this is where we care the
most to realize the benefit. Let the
crops be what they may, whether
corn, wheat, oats, hay, potatoes or
other farm products. What we
work to secure is good harvest,
and if secured we can claim not on
ly the profit but the satisfaction of
knowing that increase has crown ed
our work. n. j. SHEPHERD.

Rnrr Clover.


Having many inquiries as to the
merits of burr clover, i concluded
to answer through yoar valuable
paper, Home and Farm:
First-It will do we'll on our poor
est soils, furnishing fine grazing fol
all kinds of stock. In winter, when
all other grasses are dead, it re
mains green and flourishing.
Second-It survives our coolest
winters.
Third-It will rapidly improve
old worn lands.
Fourth-After once set will re
seed itself for years.
Fifth-Dies down in June to re
appear in September and October
Sixth-Can plant in anything
that natures by first September,
without injury to the clover.
Seventh-Easily exterminated by
blowing it up in the spring.
Eigth-Am now saving a fine
chance of seed to plant other fields
between now and November.
Ninth-PIepare the soil as you
would for sowing turnips, thor
oughly breaking and narrowing
the land, SOW the burrs, brush in
lightly. This will make a perma-
nent pasture without any more
blowing for years to come. Though
stock should be taken off in April,
when it commences seeding, so it
may reseed itself.
With burr clover for winter graz
ing and Bermuda grass for summer
pasture there is no reason why
stock can not be as cheaply raised
here as any other section of coun-
try you could name.

The Golden Tina

There are golden times in all
lives and all work. To take advan-
tage Of them, is the key to sue
cess. 1t is not the spasmodic
quick-sightedness of the speeula-
tor, but that life, habit or practice
that seems to 60 with some men.
Always doing everything ADJUST the
right time-seizing the golden
moment. Divining instantly the
proper course to pursue in all cir
cumstances, is great gift. 1t
is this quality that makes our great
generals, statesmen, and leaders
men in all walks in life.
There are golden times for the
farmer, as for other men, and it is
the successful farmer that ayails
himself of them. 1t may not be
the sudden acquisition Of wealth,
as it often comes to the 1uctuating
fortunes of spectators, but it is
that steady succession that is sure
to come from the practice of doing
at the proper time all that comes
within the scope of his work.
There are farmers who always seem
to be unfortunate. Some perhaps,
from inability to discern the gold
en- time when it comes, and others
from a willful disregard of its i'm
portance. There is a chance for
improvement in both classes-the
first by careful attention to his
work, and the formation of system
attic plans that he may take a gen
eral view of his farming operations
as a whole, and the second by the
formation of a prompt, business
like habit, that will brook no pro-
crastination. After harvesting is
over many farmers "let right down."
as the saying goes, from al work.

and the boys lounge round town
for time. A rest after his hard
seasons labor is wise, but a long
period of idleDess is pernicious in
its effects. Golden opportunities
are allowed to slip by in this sea
son of inactivity. The days are
cooler now and the teams are labor
hardened as they will not be again
in a year. The weather is magnifi
cent. The swales and low lands
are dry, and can be cleaned in
splendid shape if taken in hand
before the fall rains set in. 1t is
one of the golden times. The work
can be done to good advantage at
no other time in the year. The
farmers work is so varied that his
life is a constant round of golden
opportunities which offer success If
he will butt reach out and seize
them. Habitual observation-disclosures
with work covers nearly the whole
pathway to success.-Country Home.
