The Ticking of the Clock

Slight though the ticking of clock
may be, its sudden cessation has a won
derful effect upon the inmates OF a room
IN which the time-keeper is located A
dim realization OF something wrong steals
over the senses-until suddenly some one
looks up and exclaims, "Why, the clocks
stopped" And Immediately the Hide
fined forebodings dissipate, and as the
wyindlng..up. process is completed and the
CHEEKY ticking recommences, the family
circle regains its wonted buoyancy OF
spirits, and the members wonder what it
was that made them feel so gloomy few
moments before, To get good clock or
good watch that is warranted to be in
every respect what il should be, 20 to L.

JUMPED THE COUNTRY.
A wood River Mining Superintcn-
dent Leaves for England With
out bidding His Creditors
Good-By.

Last Saturday, says the Wood River
Times OF the 18th inst, Cecil b. Palmer,
ex.superintenden of the Minnie Moore
mine, drove up TO HALEY in his one-horse
go-devil. Later on he telephoned to Belle
yue that he was going to the Camas gold
belt. A boy accompanied him. He
drove out to Mountain Home, whence he
sent the boy home with a note stating
that he had left for England.
As soon as the boy got to Bellevue,
and told his news, n very strong feeling
of Indignation was manifested among the
many creditors of the Minnie Moore con-
Germ, and loud threats of lynching were
heard. Tom Venard, foreman of the
mine, at once came to HALEY, TO have
the necessary papers made out to have
the flying mining manager arrested. AS
the telegraph wires will be used. it is
probable that he will be overhauled this
side of Omaha, and brought back.
The affairs Of the Minnie Moore are in
n terrible state. The mine and con-
centrating works are in the hands of the
first mortgage, and all other creditors are
left in the lurch. The debts of the Com
pany" are said to aggregate over $780,
900, of which only two-fifths is secured.
Among the creditors are Mr.. Venard, for
81, 900 cash loaned and one years labor
at ~ per day; Tom Martin, an engineer,
for $1,000; Mr.. Jewell for $500; ETC., etc.
MIR. Palmer has heretofore had the
sympathy of the community because he
was believed to be more sinned against
than SHINING; but his attempt to Jump
the country" SO unceremoniously will
cause very decided and unfavorable
change in public feeling.

Utah Wheat in Denver.

Since the beginning OF November some
100000 bushels OF Utah wheat has been
purchased in Denver. 1t costs laid down
here $3.50 per 100, while the rate for Col
orado wheat, weighing 60 pounds to the
bushel, is $l.25. The result will be a
surplus OF Colorado wheat to start with
next season, and hence poor prices from
beginning to close, with possible cur
tailment of production, and all because
Colorado wheat farmers reject prices that
are from 10 TO ID cents per 100 in excess
OF rates in Chicago and Kansas City, and
35@4O cents higher than prevailed in this
market last season. Denver NeUs.

Trimming MS n Martyr.

Editor Hemenway, OF the Ogden Her.
aid, closes an editorial last night in this
language:
jury can afford to suffer penalties so brought
upon him with dignity and calmness, for his
sutferings are akin to those of martyr and
the sympathies of all right thinking people
will be with him, and the moral effect of his
thus incurred punishment, whatever it may
be, Will be naught against him. He can
richly afford to suffer.
Yes, we hope he may be converted into
q martyr, and that his martyrdom may
be continued even unto the third and
fourth generation, He says he can richly
afford to suffer, and he richly deserves
to. We hope the Court won't be parsi-
monious in the punishment.

THE ODD FELLOWS REUNION.
Fine Success of Their Ninth Annual
Hall Last Evening.

The ninth annual ball given last even
ing by the Odd Fellows OF this city was
in every respect a most gratifying success,
and credit TO the many triumphs OF the
excellent order. The several committees
superintendent the carrying out of the
evenings programme to the unstinted
pleasure and delight of some eighty
couples present, and nothing in the per-
feet makeup OF an Odd Fellows reunion
was wanting. The spacious hall was
brilliantly Illuminated by many radiant
chandeliers, which added renewed lus-
tire and pleasing effect to the many sym
bols of the organization with which the
castle was decorated. The music
started the social party at 0 o'clock,
and the enjoyment lasted until 9 o'clock
this morning without single cessation.
An intermission for refreshments was had
at the close of the first half of the pro-
gramme, and in parties of twenty couples
the entire gathering was seated to u
sumptuous spread at Mrs. Ford's elegant
parlors on the second floor of the Union
Block, below the ball room. What par
ticularly characterizes the Odd Fellows
reunions is the thorough good will and
genuine earnestness with which every at
tention is bestowed. Last nights enter
tainment will remain bright spot in the
memory OF every participant.

LYNcHBURG, VA, June 14.-Great
distress for food threatens the
border counties in Southwest Virgin.
ia. Corn, the supply of which is their
main support, is almost exhausted, and
is selling at 81 per bushel, and the
wheat crop, now almost ready for
harvest, is SO meagre that it will al
ford but little relief. These are the
counties that suffered heavily from
drought and scourge last year.

Mayor smith called the citizens com
mittee for the relief of Plymouth to.
gether yesterday, and read them q
letter from w. Il. Petit and $50
others of Low Gap, Cabell county,
w. Va, recitIng the starvation, sick
ness and suffering in the community,
and asking for aid from this city. II
was determined to appoint Robt. NJ.
McWade and DIR. M. s. French a
committee to visit Low Gap, and sl,-
600 was placed in their hands to use
as they may deem best.
There is disposition to deny the
necessity of such action in this State,
but no intelligent public would for o
moment believe that $50 citizens
could be found in any county, guilty
OF willful Misrepresentation.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

"Carp,n in an interesting sketch
of the late John w. Garrett, says Of
the extraordinary attachment be-
tween the famous railroad president
and his wife:
John w. Garrett had an iron will,
but his wife ruled him, although she
did it in such a way that the old man
never knew it. During the forty
years OF their married life the two
never slept a night apart, and /
think Mrs. CARROTS death fastened
that OF her husband. For some years
back Mr.. Garrett had been in bad
health from overwork, and the ply
sicians had prescribed that his meals
should be regular, aud that business
should not be talked at the table.
Mrs. Garrett saw that these rules
were carried out, and whenever the
lunch or dinner time arrived, if Mr..
Garrett was in the midst of the most
important conversation On business
involving millions, with guests whom
the president would delight to hon.
or, she would call them to the table
and in a gentle way would admit of
no refusal. Mr.. Garrett or his friend
might ask for just one minute more,
but the kind old lady would reply in
gentlest tones: "These are onr rules,
and Mr.. Garrett has promised that
they shall be kept" At the table
it was the same. If the guest or
John w. Garrett would break out in
some business exclamation or sug-
gestlon Mrs. Garrett would at once
object, and the railroad president at
the head of table woald laughingly
call the attention to the manner in
which he was domineered over, and
would begin talk of other subjects.
Mrs. Garrett was plain motherly
little woman, full of quiet charities
and as thoroughly wrapped up in her
husband as he was in her. She was
posted on much of his work, and dur
ing her latter years he did the most
of his work at home in his library
with several telegraph operators
about him. Many of his callers she
would receive and dismiss without
their ever bothering him. She was
seldom absent from his room even
during the most important converse
tions, and she wound herself so close
ly about every fiber OF the old mans
nature that when she died, about
two years ago, his machinery did
not work and he finally succumbed
to the loss.
