Why Wallingford Skipped

Noble Wallingford, who reached thu
Q. s. L. by buggy from Bellevue Tues
day evening, caught the train two sta
| tons east of Shoshone from losing tn.
road. He was not backward in stating
that he had disposed of his interest in
the Silver King lease at Sawtooth by
some sharp practice, that he had secured
the money; that he had agreed to show
up again Wednesday, and that he didnt
propose to be compelled to return cent
Although he boarded the west-bound pas
senger, it was thought in Shoshone that
he returned east on the freight. So far
as could be learned, Wallingford owed
very few dollars on the river, if any.
There having been no warrant out against
him, his story is probably true.-Belle-
vue Herald.
The Herald's account of Mr..
Wallingford's skipping is correct,
but fails to give the probable rea-
sons of his flight to parts unknown.
Mr.. Wallingford left Wood River
owing nearly everybody here that
would trust him for a cent, and
gave them the dirty shake. He
also was a party to some proceed
ures at Sawtooth not altogether be-
coming to an honest man, and pos
sibly thought it would be unhealthy
for him to tarry longer in the
country. So far as sailing" the
vein and dump Of the Silver King
mine is concerned, however, that
report was utterly false and I'M
founded, as Major Hyndman has
received intelligence from Mr..
Hickey, the foreman, setting at
naught all such rumor.

They have also bonded it for $780,

claim to the mine. To-day, it is
said, Tomkins and Outflow went
up to the mine to drive off Shields
and Bray with guns. Shields and
Bray were in town, and when they
went back they found Tomkins and
Outflow at the cabin. Tomkins,
so Shields says, began firing at him
with Winchester rifle. He fired
two or three shots, when Shields
got hold of his shot gun and began
to shoot back. He shot Tomkins
in the left side and tore his left arm
all to pieces, when he broke and
run. Outflow in the mean time
having hid in the brush. It is
thought Tomkins will die before
morning. We are expecting to hear
something Of the kind from Pine

Honest Jim Fair.
From The Chicago News.

A good story on Senator James g.
Fair was told in one of the local stock
brokerage houses by a former member
of the San Francisco Stock and Mining
Exchange. Some time in 1865 or 1866
the rumor got abroad that a big strike
had been made in the Ophir. They
shut down the mine, bulk-headed the
supposed find, and refused to allow ex-
perts or the public ON the premises.
Fair, who was the superintendent of the
mine, assured the people that there
was nothing IN the supposed discovery
The speculative public, well knowing
his reputation as truthful dispenser of
pointers, coppered him, and their buy
ing advanced the price of the stock
from 80 to about S00 Fair and his sus-
pected colleague, Banker Irwin Davis,
who were supposed to be largely short
OF the stock, were forced, as a matter of
self-protectlon, to open the mine to the
public, as any further advance would
exhaust their margins and ruin them
On the admission of experts to the
mine the public were Mortified to dis
cover that the superintendent had told
the truth-absolutelv the truth. The
stock, which was not checked until it
had dropped considerably below the
figure from which the advance had
started The decentralization and fnan-
cial distress among the gamblers in
mining stocks was somewhat awful, but
the affair won for the willy superintend-
ent the name of Honest JIM" which
is still his title on the Pacific Coast.

A Diamond in Her Tooth.
From the Louisville Courier-Jour,

About year ago it became fashion
able in New York for young ladies to
have a diamond set in one of their
teeth, which sparkled resplendently
whenever they smiled. The fashion
grew in popularity, and was adopted in
other oflhe large cities, but until recent
ly the extravagant habit did not reach
Louisville: Now, however, there is
yonng lady who can be seen prone
nading Fourth Avenue almost any alter
noon, her red, ripe lips parted with
sweet smile. At the point Of one of her
upper front teeth sparkles brilliant lit
tie stone, which is the occasion of the
ever-pleased mood of its fair owner.
The young lady who is the daughter of
a banker, recently returned from visit
to New York, and while there caught
on" to the craze She has numerous
rare and costly stones, but it is safe to
say that none nor all of them give their
fair owner half the pleasure extracted
from the diminutive gem imbedded in
her pearly front teeth. The case men
toned is probably the only one of the
kind in T OuiSvila

How to Tell a Good Cook.

A well-known Paris scientist, DR..
Delaunay, has made some curious dis
coveries which show the connection
between little and great things To as
certain the qualities of an applicant
cook he says it is sufficient to give her a
plate to clean, sauce to make, and
watch how she moves her hand in either
act. If she moves her hand from left to
right, or in the direction of the hands of
watch you may trust her; if the other
way, she IS certain to be stupid and in
capable. The intelligence of people
may also be gagged, the doctor further
says, by asking them to make circle
on paper with a pencil and noting in
which direction the hand is moved
The good students In mathematical
class draw circles from left to right.
The inferiority Of the softer sex, as well
as the male ounces, is shown by draw
ing from right to left.

From the Philadelphia Times.

Society has taken up the circus.
Twenty odd young people representing
the upper crust of uptown social life
formed circus party few nights ago,
and there was, as matter OF course, a
good deal of jolity and thorough enjoy
ment extracted from the visit A fea-
ture OF the diversion was that each lady
carried chintz bag, with her first
name decorating it, In these bags were
stored stock Of such homely edibles as
peanuts, ginger snaps, pretzels and
sour balls Little bags of salt for use
with the peanuts were also included
but in spite of the precaution it is I'M
derstood that at least eighteen of the
party were sick the next day from their
unchecked indulgence in this unhappy
combination OF refreshments.

SOMETHING WoRTH READING
Extract from the New York Wor1d--A
Most Wonderful Remedy.
''NEw YORK, March %, Is


II have been sufferer from nervousness and nerv-
gus prostraton for wears and have tried many things
Dr.. Greene's Nervura Nerve Tonic from my friends
and others whom it cured, last decided to take it.
It's effects really almost magical for 1T lmme diate
~ takes that nervous restless and weak feeling
or sense of exhaustion and restores one to perfect
condition of health. 1t is great boon and wonder
1ul blessing to nervous people. LUcIE WERNER"
This wonderful remedy, whose praise is
upon everybody's lips, must be the most
marvellous in its curative powers OF any
remedy ever discovered. We hear every
day of remarkable cures of nervousness
nervous weakness, exhaustion, paralysis, CO
other nervous diseases, effected by this great
nerve tonic and restorative. Here person
rescued from the grave, was Mrs. Annie
Donovan, of Attawaugan, Conn; there
case saved from that terrible disease, insan-
ity as was Mr. w. G. Miles, of 40 Blue Hill
Avenue, Boston, Mass; again, cures of
paral ysis of years standing, like that of Mr..
Alexander Horn, of the Marine Asylum,
Philadelphia, Pa who had not been able
to walk before for years; or restoration from
the severest neuralgia and rheumatism, like
the case of Mr.. James BOWn, of 81 Market
Street, New York City. Cures of sleepless-
ness, with nervous and physical exhaustion,
are very frequent, the wonderful cure of
Mrs. w. F. Able, Of 10 Affleck Street.
Hartford Conn.,, being only one among
thousands. Altogether the remarkable
powers Of DR.. Greene's Nervura Nerve Tonic
in curing all forms of nervous diseases like
the above, and restoring to health sufferers
from nervousness, nervous weakness nerv-
Gus debility, dependency, depression of
mind, headache, trembling numbness dys
pepsia, indigestion constipation the opium
or choral habit, &C., have demonstrated it
to be remedy of wonderful powers, and at
times of almost miraculous effects in curing
disease. 1t is not to be wondered at, there
fore, that drug stores everywhere are over
whelmed with orders for this remarkable
remedy, and it is almost impossible to sup
ply the demands from the hundreds of
thousands of sufferers from nervous dis
eases. All druggists keep the remedy at 81
per bottle, and its low price places it within
the reach of all. If your druggist does not
have it he will get it for you.
