4 CHASTITY Speeticle

A man with a gaping wound IN
his throat, his hands. face and
clothing covered with blood, walked
into the town of Wells Tuesday,
from the Eastward. He was nearly
exhausted from the loss of blood
and was taken in charge by some Of
the citizens who called physician,
when it was found that a deep cash
had nearly severed the wiud-pipe.
The wounded man was brought
down on the train by Constable
Weeks Tuesday night and lodged
in the County Hospital where he is
being treated by DR.. Meigs. The
man gives his name as Carl Peter
son. and from his almost incoherent
utterances at Wells it was gathered
that he had been set upon by In
dams ND about Cedar Pass: few
miles east of Wells, from whom he
had escaped wounded and minus a
great part of his clothing. Peter
son now admits, however, that he
does know how he received the in
iuries, and the supposition is that
from some cause he has beer a.
least temporarily insane.-Elko In,

1aaIIOw Zen,

Hallow Zen is always celebrated
by the boys Of small towns by play
ing various pranks upon those more
advanced in years. During the
past century the active brain OF
the American youth has not in
vented anything much more origin
al than pulling a gate off It's hinges
and piling it up on someone else s
back shed. Nobody knows when
Hallow Fen comes round, except
the small boy. He has it down on
his calendar in large letters. When
YOU wake UP some morning and find
a big hole in the fence where your
gate used to swing. you may know
by the signs that the Hallow Zen
season is at hand.
Bob Lindsay Of Reno, has pat
ented a contrivance, by which
when boy yanks his gateSof, the
water is turned on and the boys are
drenched. Bob fixed one few
nights since, and a neighbor calling
on Mrs. Lindsay got showered No
argument can convince him that
Bob did not do it on the malice
aforethought plan.

plaintiff furnished a house, provld-
ed meals and generally took cal re OF
one Bertha Bahnson, whose name
was mentioned in the Sharon case
al the mother O. child claimed to
have been represented as the off
spring of another. 1t was also
averred in the complaint that a re-
ward of $500 would be paid for the
recovery of Bertha Bahnson. On
Monday Judge Finn announced
that he had received letter from
the plaintiff asking that the case be
dismissed. The plaintiffs attorney,
however, was absent from the Court
and Judge Finn directed that the
latter be notified Of the plaintiff, $

Minors in saloons

EDITOR AppEAL.-A good deal
of complain: has been made Of late
about the officers not carrying out
the law in regard to the sale of in
toxicating drinks to minors.
The law provides that any
keeper Or proprietor of a licensed
house where gambling is carried on
who shall permit any minors to be
present where gambling is going on
either as a spectator or participant
in the game, shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor.
The law in relation to the sale Of
liquors provides that every person
who, without a written or VERBAL
order from the parents or guard
ians, shall sell or give to another
under the age Of twenty-one years,
Or to one who is known to be a
mental imbecile, to be by them
drunk, Is guilty Of a misdemeanor."
Thus it will be seen that under
the law it is the duty of the pro-
prietor of the house to keep all
minors out of his place Of business,
and to refuse them liquor.

the turtle could carry him. fluffy
figured out that $50 pounds was too
much for turtle of FIVE pounds

banter.
When the portly Treasurer cot

was not equal to the task.

TWO MINDS IN THE SAME
GROOVE.
An Austrian aud Il Earaon In
Vent0r strike the Same
Hina

The last number Of the Scien-
tific American contains the cut of
steamboat invented by Emil Adam
of Prague, Austria. The hull of
the vessel is composed Of two hol-
low cylinders tapering at both ends.
To make the least possible resist
ance to the water, the inventor has
ran a screw thread from one end
to the other, so that the spiral
makes eight turns. The deck is
laid over these two cylinders, and
when the machinery is in motion
the cylinders turn. The paper
says that the most satisfactory re
suits were obtained from the con
triyance, which gave great speed
with small power.
The picture in the Scientific
American is an exact counterpart
OF I model made IN this city
at least eight years ago by George
Mclaughlin. The model is now
at his house where it has, during
years past been inspected by num-
bers Of persons.
MIR McLoughlin says that he
designed the boat for smooth water
such as is found in rivers or canals
but does not think that it is adapted
to ocean travel. Some might consider
the similarity of the inventors as
remarkable coincidence, but such
is not the case, as men all over the
world are studying upon the re-
Guirements of various things, and
it is not strange that they reach
the same results.

:. Suggestion.

There are about 3,l00 saloons
and places where liquors are sold
in San Francisco. IF that number
were paying a reasonably high Il
cerse. say $50 each per month, 1t
would yield the snug little sum of
s1,S6O,00O. Or if half of them
closed up because Of such tax,
there would be sufficient left to
supply the wants of the thirsty
and still an income of $4,000, as
against $20S, $40 received from the
same source last year. By such
reduction of numbers the worst
deadfalls, where the criminal class
es congregate, would be eliminated,
and the result would be great re-
ductiou of crime, and a less de-
mand for the police service. Sac
ramento can profitably study the
same subject. Sacramento Record

Fancy RanchiEE Iva California

Fancy KHHcH7EE III I0FI0EHHH:
A correspondent assures US that
the big, fancy ranches in California
are the ruin of farming there. They
bring no profit to their owners, who
can only afford to keep them up
because they have grown rich in
some other way. Once in a while
a good crop and good prices COM
bined give big return, but in the
long run it is wasteful and the re-
verse of economical farming.-St.
Louis Republican.
