loss of life will be even greater than
heretofore reported. The house of

his family of five persons, and. after

ed twenty-five miles on a feather bed,
She had her child with her, but it

Died, on the 14th inst, of typhoid
fever, Henry Curtin, son of Francis
McKinzie, in the 18th year of his
age. Curtin was young man of fine
physique, quiet and unassuming in
manner and a great favorite. His
death cast gloom oyer this entire
community. 1t will be remembered
that MIR. McKinzie lost his wife on
the 1lth of September, from the same
disease. The bereaved parent and
relatives have the sympathy of the
whole community. His eldest son,
Dennis, is also confined to his bed
with the same disease, but it is
thought that he will recover.
About four weeks ago Estelle, an
eight-year- daughter of Mr.. Bent.
Fuller was playing in the yard with
several other children. She was cut
ting grass with pair of shears about
eight inches long, when one of the
other children. in playful manner
pushed her over on the shears, which
penetrated her body to the depth of
four inches, and passing through the
liver and injuring the stomach. DR..
O. q. Getty dressed the wound and
gave her the very best attention, as
he always does his patients, and by
careful nursing and following the
Doctors orders, to the establishment
of all, the child Is now able to be up
and go about, apparently as good as
ever. 1t was pitiful to hear the little
one cry for food, but the Doctor would
not allow anything for several days,
and then began with tea>poonfull
of meat juice. DR.. Getty has quite
large practice here and has been
very successful,

been confined to her bed for long

THE LUCK OF THE COMsTOCK.

The San Francisco Examiner says the
recent commotion in stocks has effected
the l~iveliest shaking up the brokers
have had for many q day, and the deal
has also revived a long.dormant enthu.
siasm among old investors, who until
this last sudden furry, had nearly lost
all interest in life. No sooner, how
ever, did they hear the news of a rising
market than they braced up and pulled
themselves together for another whack
at fortune. The old dame had coquetted
with them for many a year-had smiled
and frowned like any other hirt-but
she had tempting destinations still, and
her old wooers were won and fiattered
and cajoled, just as they had often been
before, and perhaps will be again. The
luck of the Comstock is a shifting guam.
tity, and few have found it anything but
a snare and a delusion. Nevertheless,
it has it's votaries, and whenever the
sign is given they throng to its shrine as
the Mohammedans go to their Mecca.
But it is a cruel divinity.
For all that, the multitude pays it
eager alteration. With natures deeply
infected with the instinct of gambling,
the devotees of the Comstock trust it to
pay them back the fortunes of which it
has bereft them, and they are as sure
that it will do this as the gambler is Ger.
tain that with one more stake he can
win back all the money he has lost. And
so the means for the fatal play is drawn
from the secret crypts and savings
banks, and the boarded pittance that
was meant to shield old age from want
and give food to the eager mouths Of
helpless children vanishes into thin air,
There is not a mine on the Comstock
that is not instinct with human wretch.
edness. Its product of enormous wealth
is drenched with the tears of deluded
victims, and in many notable instances
its fatal allurements have eliminated in
the suicides grave.

DON'T MORMONIzE NEVADA.

The Salt Lake Democrat has the fol.
lowing: Mr.. Stewart proposes, if elected
to the Senate, to add to the area and
population of Nevada by accessions of
territory from Idaho, Utah, and, we
believe, that portion of California stu.
ated east of the summit of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains. The latter properly
belongs to Nevada, and it would prob
ably be better for the people of that
portion of Idaho which is proposed to
be annexed if they were to connect
themselves with the Sagebrush State.
We are confident, however, that the PEG.
pie of Nevada would regret the acces.
sion OF such an element as the proposed
addition from Utah would entail upon
them. The few Mormons already in the
State have nearly the balance of power,
and, reinforced by twice or thrice the
present number, the President of the
Church would virtually control the State
elections and Silt Lake City would be-
come the Mecca of all the candidates for
State offices. Party lines are strictly
drawn in Nevada. There is no LIB.
eral" ticket run there. Both parties
would strive their utmost to corral the
Mormon vote, and the one offering the
greatest inducement, or making the
most concessions to the priesthood,
would take it into camp. It is a dan
gerous element to invest with State
hood power and privileges, and it would
be wise in Mr.. Stewart to eliminate ths
Utah portion from his proposed new
map of Nevada.

S. F. Post: A man who goes into
stock speculation with the intention OF
profting by other peoples losses de.
serves no sympathy when he comes to
grief. He is a gambler, pure and simple,
and if he belongs to the majority he is
playing a game in which he is almost
sur to lose. Short sellers are invari-
ably of this class. The man who buys
stock outright may be contributing to
the development of the mines, and is en-.
gagged in as legitimate a business as buy
ing gas or water stocks, but the man
who deals in shorts is merely betting
against the judgment of the real invest
ors. Some effort was made at Chicago
to prevent dealing in grain futures and
other forms of stock gambling, but moth.
ing seems to come Of it. 1t is perhaps
generally inexpedient for the law to pro.
tect foolish people against their own folly.
