One day last week the well-modulated
voice OF the school mistress Of the Lyon
school said ''noon" In usual calm tones,
and the usual rush for edibles followed
the magic word. As an eight-year old
boy thrust his hand into his dinner-bas-
ket and drew out bottle Of milk, the
vicious warning OF the deadly rattle-
snake was heard from the depths Of the
dinner basket. Down went the basket
with crash, and In the fragment ofa
shattered pie-plate his snake-ship coiled
himself while its busy tail made the air
vibrate with its angry song, and that
song was quickly re-echoed. From ev-
cry corner of the school room came the
fearful warning, and 1t was seen that
at least half dozen snakes had come to
school. A wild scene OF terror aud con-
fusion ensued. The usually suave and
self-contained school mistress made
hasty leap and a loud shrek, the double
effort landing her on top Of the highest
desk In the room. Her example in both
leap and shrek was speedily followed,
and the new pupils were left In possess
sion of the floor. A very babel OF cries
and screams announced that the school
mistress and older girls were In con-
sultation as TO how to get rid of the un-
due amount of serpents that had so sud-
denly possessed them. In the midst OF
this effective discussion a tcn-year old
boy, forcing a side window open, and
falling out, soon made his appearance
with formidable club, with which ho
dispatched the snakes in rotation. There
were found to be five Of the deadly rock
| variety. After the coast was appar-
emily clear again the demoralized school
settled down as best they could To their
dinners, when across the threshold came
in gathering folds hat looked like the
king OF all rattlesnakes, and, making
for the center of the apartment, coiled
himself In n bunch as large as half
bushel, while his note Of anger filled
the room with its diabolical music aud
the hearers with sickening dread.
The desks were again rcsorted too, but
this time the terror was too great for
cries and shrieks. A trembling horror
seemed TO possess all, while tie glitter
ing bead-like eye OF the huge reptile
seemed TO fascinate with It's sclntillating
glances. Just then the welcome roll OF
wagon wheels was heard on the road,
on the margin Of which the school,
house stood. II broke the spell OF hor-
rer, aud shrek after shrek on all scales
of the gamut resounded from the build
ing. In a moment or two the burly form
of stalwart ranchman tilled the door
way. lie took In the situation at glance.
A quick spring to the roadside aud
back, and the glistenlng terror lay
writhing beneath a heavy boulder. IL
proved TO be five aud one half feet In
length aud carried fourteen ratties.
There was no more school that day, and
the house and the grounds for q half u
mile around have been icligiously
searched every morning by that school
mistress before she opens school,

"Balky horses, you sayw remarked n

little experience with them. They are
not easy things to handle. Ii Is mighty
hard work for man TO drive balky

both as a bad job. But say, did you

a little closer climbed out the hind end
Of the buggy, leaned up against the
fence and prepared to enjoy the picnic.
Oh, but 1t was sport! That balky horse

The Mountains.

I've lived so long here on the plain,
So long, 80 long time,
That now and then feel pain
For those far hills which climb
All high and blue, and weirdly strange,
In yonder rolling, wavy range.
Sometimes I wonder how folks dwell
There on those heights 80 calm,
Where, I've heard tell, the pine woods smell
AS sweet as garden balm,
And where there spreads quiet lake,
With miles on miles Of laurel brake.
Again, mark touch OF white
Amid the azure haze
A gleam that glitters on my sight,
Yet not enough to daze-
And question II 1t be the wall
or fsome hill farmstead, fair and tall.
Here drouths come on at any hour;
For weeks no rain we meet;
But there, ween daily shower
Falls on the growing wheat.
And remember when at school
They said those hills were always cool.
so, often when stop my plow,
And turn my eyes that way.
While wiping off my dusty brow
Just to myself say,
"Amid the trees that yonder grow,
How clear and fresh the wind must blow!
Then, when all's done, and falls the night,
And moonbeams streak the floor.
watch them, in that mystic light,
Athwart my open door;
And then. and then sometimes sigh
To fee up there and let me die!

NOT OVER YET.
An Ominous Calm at Wood River
The Queen of the Hills Strike.

Mr.. J. c.. Conklin retured on Tuesday
night from a several week s visit to Wood
River and unburdened himself this
morning in relation to the condition OF
affairs at the Queen of the Hills mine.
''Ths fact isl said Mr.. Conklin, chat,
although everything is quiet and running
smoothly now, we regard the calm as
rather ominous. There are great many
idle Union men there and they are liable
to create more trouble at any time. The
mine is guarded by nine deputies, day and
night, and We are prepared for anything
that may occur A majority of the Union
men are willing and anxious to return to
work but are restrained by their leaders.
But we have no difficulty in procuring
men and are working a full force. About
forty of the Union men are under bonds,
several of them having been bound over
three or four times"
In the conversation that ensued it was
learned that drifting had commenced on
the immense body of galena ore recently
encountered in the lower winze. This
body of ore is six and halt feet in thick
ness but the present developments have
not determined its full extent. This ore
nets $1,000 per ton, after paying freight
and smelling charges The mill is in full
operation and the shipments average one
car per day The ore now goes to the
Grant smelter at Denver. The freight
rates to that point are little better than
to Omaha.

The Horn Silver.

A gentleman who has been through the
Horn Silver mine stated the other day
that if any ore was left in that property
he did not know where it was, and is pos.
tive the mine has "petered out" We dc
not know what foundation there is fol-
such a report, and there is no means OF
ascertaining 1t is fact, however, that
a very small force of men is being worked
at the mine, and there is no indication OF
any improvement.
The last issue of the Frisco Times con-
tains the following:
The Wine running from the 800 to the
900 has been completed. A station is
being cut out at the bottom of the shaft,
which is now finished to depth of 900
feet
The air is so bad, on account of the
shutting off of the draft by the cave in the
old workings, that it will be impossible to
work any number of men to advantage
before the proper connections are made.
1t is safe to say that there will be no ore
shipped from the mine for several
months.
During the first part of next week con-
tractors will begin to run the drift from
the bottom of the shaft to the ledge, dis
lance of about $50 feet. Work will be
prosecuted at both ends of the drift. and
should, barring another accident, be COM
pleted in from six weeks to two months.
There will be no opportunity to increase
the force OF miners until this work is done.

Bright Prospects for the Crescent.

The Crescent tramway, which has been
snowbound all winter, has finally been
opened by persistent work and pluck.
The snow encountered along the track
has been deeper and much more difficult
to remove than was at first supposed it
would be. Since the opening of the
track both frst-class and concentrating
ore has been shipped over it from the
mines, principally for the purpose of test
ing the condition of the track to the con-
centrator and sampler, and from present
indications it is presumed shipments will
commence next week and continue unin-
terrupted until snow closes down next fall
over the track in such depth that it will
be impossible for the company to make
shipments. The track has been found
in anexcellent condition the entire length,
which proves that great care was exer-
cised in putting it down so as to avoid
damages to it by the freezing and thaw-
ing OF the ground over which it passes.
The shipments OF the Crescent have been
large and with their tramway in good
running order throughout the summer,
we confidently believe it will discount
any of its previous records.-PQrk Record.

ANOTHER OBJECTION TO THIS LAW
Was that it exempted certain class of
persons engaged in the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors The provi-
sion of this section OBJ is, ''No provi-
sion of this act shall be so construed as
to authorize any county court or county
officer to interfere with the rights granted
to municipal corporations by their sew
eral charters, and the amendments there
to, to license, tax, regulate, restrain and
prohibit the manufacture, selling, or in
any other manner disposing of vinous,
spirituous and malt liquors, within the
corporate limits, or to prohibit vine grow
ers without a license, from expressing
and selling on the premises where ex-
pressed, the pure juice of the grape, in
quantities not less than five gallons, to
one person at one time''
THIS SECTION ExEMPTs.
From the operation of the law the vine
growers. The vine growers and those
who engage in the cultivation OF the soil
are generally the objects of favor of
legislators to some extent, but, of course,
no legislature would prohibit the growing
of vines and graperies and, l suppose,
would not prohibit the sale of grapes,
and this law extends the right to sell the
pure juice of the grape when the pulp is
separated from the juice. 1t authorizes
the sale of the Juice provided it is sold
where expressed and in quantities not
less than five gallons; and all persons
who are SO engaged in raising grapes are
exempt. But after it comes out of their
hands the exemption does not follow. l
presume that
THIS is A REASONABLE EXEMPTION.
1t is not such violation of the general
principle of uniformity as applied to the
case as would render this law of no
effect. If persons sold only the pure
juice of the grape in quantities of not less
than five gallons | do not suppose it
woule be very injurious to society.
These are all the points that occur to
me now. There were a number of others,
but l do not think they were well taken.
The petitioner will be remanded to the
custody of the officer.
There were two cases, the decision in
this case deciding the two. Judge Nc
Bride stated that for the purpose of get
ting the case before the Supreme Court,
he would probably apply to His Honor as
Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court for
writ returnable in that court, so that it
might be there determined.

A DefaultinD Witness.

Mary Ann Peterson, one of the alleged
polygamous wives of Edward Brain, was
summoned to appear before Commits
sloner Mckay yesterday afternoon. She
failed to appear and she was arrested and
brought before the Commissioner this
morning for contempt. The examina-
ton, however, showed that she possessed
very imperfect knowledge of the Eng
lish language and did not fully under
stand the nature of the subpoena. She
was therefore discharged and sent to the
Grand Jury.
