A HITCH SOMEWHERE.
Logan County Warrants Refused by the
+, Residents Of that Municipality.

-@SssSesS W sess AeosSsVosssJs
The Office. holders of Logan county
have Dragged SO loudly and frequent
ly over their financial ability and re-
sources that the residents of old
Alturas had really settled down to
the belief that the Logan warrants
were being readily taken as fast as
issued, if not at premium at least
at par or very nearly. But it seems
that such is not the case. No; not
even if the getting Of their records
should depend upon the negotiation
of their warrants. Recorder Garrett,
OF Alturas county, is expected to have
the records relating to all property in
the counties of Logan and Elmore
copied into separate books for use in
those counties. This work will cost
somewhere between $4,000 and $780,
900. Mr.. Garrett is willing to have
1t done. The law requires him to do
it, and he is lGw-abiding man. But
as he is not a millionaire he wishes
to be assured Of his pay, before do
ing too much Of the work. He has
had three to FIVE copyists at work for
month or two already, and has about
reached the point where he can go no
further without "mud''--roney, cash
lin hand. So he went down to Logan
yesterday to endeavor to obtain ad-
vances upon his warrants, but failed
in his mission. Those he applied to
and who, he had reason to believe,
were willing to take his warrants, had
good reason to offer for not taking
them. So Logan county warrants
are not SO very desirable, after all.
The fact is that this might have
been foreseen. With the validity of
the division bill contested, and its
admitted illegality in the manner of
apportioning the debt, no prudent
business man would invest very heavi.
ly in them at present.

Beginning 10 Keap.

Some of the residents Of HALEY
and vicinity who had the courage to
set out small fruits a few years ago
and look sfter them since, are begin
ming to reap a substantial reward.
Ali who did SO are gathering more or
less fruit, according to the extent OF
their planting. but all feel amply re-.
paid for their outlay. District At
torney Waters, is one of them.
Only two years ago he purchased a
block of land from the town company
near the railway, and set out few
hundred strawberry plants. The first
year he got a few berries, and last
year few gallons. This year, how.
ever. he had quite "crop." During
the last II days Mrs. Waters and her
three children gathered 100 gallons
which were all sold, even before
taken off the plants, at an average of
80 cents per gallon.
And this is only one kind of
small fruit. AS Judge Waters has
blackberries. cherries, etc., all in
quantities, he will realize a very
handsome profit on his investment.

The WOoi Market Still Improving

Advices to the TIMES from Phil
adelphia, the 22d inst, are to the
effect that the wool market is strong
throughout and tending upward. Dur
ing the past week the prices for all
descriptions advanced fully lc per ID.
The demand is fairly active, but the
manufacturers grumble at the ad-
vance, and only buy in small guam
titles, for present use. Outsiders are
beginning to buy offerings in expect
alton of gradual rise in value as
soon as the spring clip shall be dis
posed of. Idaho wool sells at 16 to
24-the latter being paid for medium.

The Trustees to Soon Complete Ar.
engagements for the Ensuing Year.
The school law requires the trus.
tees OF each school district in the
county to meet on the first Monday
in July and appoint census marshal,
whose duty it shall be to take an ao.
curate census OF all the children of
school age in his district. The Hal
ley School Trustees will therefore
meet on that day, to decide upon the
question of levying, or retaining
from levying, special tax for the
next ensuing school year. 1t is
generally understood that they have
already secured the services of prin.
cipal who is the head of family, and
whose references were and are in the
highest degree satisfactory, and that
they intend to employ three other
teachers.
The arrangements concluded by
the Trustees will doubtless soon be
known. In fact, they might be an
nounced even now were it not that
the Trustees are really undecided as
to the number of teachers to employ.

THE HOT SPRINGS SOCIABLES.
The First Of the Series Postponed 70,
Couple Of Weeks.

OVSPAC va WCVASs
The proprietors of the HALEY Hot
Springs intended to give a series of
Germans or dancing parties at inter
walls during the season. The institu.
ton being conducted on q business,
money making basis, these dances
would Of course have been open to
the public. Any person who usually
or occasionally attends any public
ball in this region would of course
not only have been welcome but most
cordially received. The cost was
expected to he about as follows:
Supper, 81 per couple; dancing not
to exceed 81 per couple-the cost to
be fixed at the actual expense of the
favors, and to be rather less than the
amount stated. But, in some unac.
coun'able way, the impression has got
abroad that these were to be select
dancing parties, and that. No one was
expected without special invitation.
Hence it has been deemed best to
postpone the first dance of the series
for couple of weeks, until the sub
ject can be talked over and the in.
tent of the proprietors made. known.

In Thomas Ewbank's work on SHY.

in the form of cut and description
of drop-a Observation-Disclosures device
in use among the ancient Egyptian
priests for dispensing holy water to
woIshippers at the entrance OF an
ancient temple. Ewbank himself
found a description of it in the
"Spiritalia," published by Heron in
the sixteenth century and containing
an exposure of the deceits of the
Egyptian hierarchy. The apparatus

ing slot at the top for receiving the
coin, pivoted lever on which the
coin fell and valve which was oper-
ated to let little water escape every
time the lever was depressed by the
weight of the coin.
Thus it appears probable that the
"nickle-in the slot" devices. which
have recently come into wide use,
were originated more than two mil
lenninms ago and that We have only
recently rediscovered lost art.
"The device by means of. which our
recent inventors provide against
cheating the machines are not less
anticipated in the early apparatus. for
Heron states that the valves would
not move until coin of FIVE drachm@

81 once saw a novel method for collecting
money" says a musician in The Cincinnati
Times-Star at was at Lars Station, out on
the Kentucky Central, forty or fifty miles
from this city.
''It had been decided by the good Presby-
terians Of that vicinity that an organ was es-
sential for the complete enjoyment Of their
church services. But the leaders of the church
hesitated about purchasing one. They knew
that their list of members was not an ex-
traordinarily large one, nor was the congre-
cation noted for any remarkable liberality,
especially when their pockets were touched
for church money.
"At last, after various expedients for
raising the organ money had been suggested
and rejected, a bright idea struck visitor
who lives over the line in Bourbon county
He suggested that they purchase 100 little
stone jugs with mouth just large enough to
receive quarter or lesser coin and to put
these novels little banks in the hands of 100
girls, little and big. The girl who should
collect the most money was to receive fine
prize.
"Well, sir, the natives went wild over it.
Nickels, dimes and quarters showered down
the hungry mouths of the little jugs and re-
manned there, for they could not have been
taken out if the collectors had so desired
without breaking the receptacle in which
they were put. At certain date the mem
bers all collected at the church. There were
exercises of various kinds, concluding with
the breaking of the jugs. 1t was then found
that nearly $500 had been collected by the
girls

swered nay TO his wooing, and the hearts Of
the young people were sad. Often they
would meet where the sun went down behind
the rocks and they would sit aud hold each
others hand and never speak. She was
dutiful daughter and never would she con-
sent to go without the blessing Of her father
and the tribe. One day they strolled where
the waters beat against the rocks tthe suck
and with the song the Cherokees sing when
death Is near they clasped their hands, threw
themselves down into the river and were
never seen again, but have often heard the
song when the river was low, as the water
dashed against the rocks where their bodies
had lain.
Soon after this the Great Spiri. showed
that he was displeased, the deer and the bear
could no longer be found and strange Indians
appeared. Tall were they, and large, and
with mighty strength. They could throw
great rocks farther than the winds would car
~ an arrow On each side Of their head
were great horns, and their eyes were like
the wild cat and CLEANED through the dark
ness. They did not speak, but they would
growl until the earth would tremble, and
fire came from their mouths They were
everywhere, and in our councils the braves
could find no way to compete with these evil
spirits. 50 we gathered our women and our
children and our dogs and our tents and our
bows, and we wandered over the mountains
until we came to the side Of a river where
no moccasin had ever trailed, and here we
beseeched the Great Spirit to let US abide.
My tribe and kindred wandered even further

81 see," said Rollo, as he glanced up from
his Eagle, that an Indian band has left the
Sioux reservation. What does that meanT
"Why, it means" said Rollo's Uncle George,
"that the Sioux couldn't stand EN- any
longer, and run 'em off to the mountains to
starve. And theresa new band practicing
about two blocks down this street ought to
be served in the same way, and if we had half
the good taste and nerve tho Sioux nation
has we'd soon run 'em out. I'm in for it. "
But" said Rollo, ''the paper says they were
followed a short distance, but disappeared in
the direction of the Buttes." "Well," said

A gentleman owning a fine piano that had
been recently tuned and placed in first class
order was somewhat surprised at the peculiar
tone Of the instrument at times. Occasionally
the instrument would be in perfect tune, and
again every note struck would send forth a
discord peculiarly unpleasant to the ear 1t
was finally decided that the instrument had
not been properly tuned, and another tuner
was sent for with instructions to place the
piano in order. After a careful examination
he said the piano was sadly out of tune and
that the instrument would have to be taken
to pieces. He went to work with that idea
and had progressed but a while before the
cause of the peculiar sounds was discovered
In the open space back Of the keys were found
nine mice of but a few days growth They
were comfortably ensconced in a nest pre-
pared by thoughtful mother. The nest and
mice were removed, and the piano now goes
better It is a mystery to the owner how
they came there, as the piano is much in use
and hardly ever left uncovered.-Middletow

This product, which from the immense ex-
tent of its uses and its applications to the
true necessities of mankind would seem prop
erly stable In its very nature, has during the
last two decades suffered much from violent
fluctuations At present the iron trade is re-
ported to be in rather depressed condition,
which would be worse except for a combina-
ton among the manufacturers which keeps
the production down sufficiently to maintain
prices on paying basis. All over the coun-
try mills are starting into action and shutting
down, a species of restlessness characterizing
the outlook But an increased market is
looked for during the next three months, and
after the lessons of the past an improvement
that lasts even for that length of time will
not be without good effects. The govern
ment by its recent operations in ship and
ordnance construction has done something to
help matters, and probably the same assist
ance will be rendered during the next four

Before railroads were built in India the or
binary mode Of rapid travelling was by the
palh, which was borne on the shoulders Of
four natives. The speed and endurance Of
the professional palki bearers are really re-
markable An English traveller Of only a
few years ago thus describes journey which
be made in Bengal:
by half past in the afternoon was at
the entrance Of the Patna bazar, nine miles
in length, and thirty-three miles from Barb.
Thus they had brought me at an average
rate of over four miles an hour, including a
stoppage of over half an hour for their mid
day meal
sit is true, was lightweight; but once,
with a friend, tried to carry an empty palki,
and found it so CALLING to the shoulder that
could not get beyond a few yards, while these
men, who lived on little else than rice, could
carry loaded one over forty miles at the
rate mentioned above. youths Companion
