Sad News.

Mrs. S. r. Sankland recently received
the sorrowful intelligence of the sudden
death of her mother at her home in
Capay, California. The sad news was
rendered more intensely affecting by
reason of its sudden character, as it was
not until the report of her death had
been received, was her illness known to
her now sorrowing daughter. The fond
hope, so long cherished, Of seeing the
beloved mother, from whom fifteen
years Of absence have only served to
strengthen the ties of affection, has been
suddenly dispelled.
The deceased mother was conspicuous
for her strict piety and unyielding de-
votion to her chosen religion, in the
validity of which she died as she had
lived, a firm believer. Death to her, az
it is to all who have kept the faith
was a welcome visitor, a fact which
amid the pain and anguish attendant
upon her sudden demise, will ever re-
main a sacred solace to her grief stricken
children who are thus buoyed up with
the hope of clasping hands with the de
parted in that brighter land where
partings are unknown.

A. Serious Fall.

Mrs. Pauline Wood, an elderly and
highly respected lady resident Of this
place, while Oh her way to church on
Tuesday night, slipped and fell heavily
to the ground, where she lay u~nconcious
for a half an hour before being dis
covered. She was removed to the house
Of her daughter, on Fourth street. where
every attention that could tend to her
relief was bestowed. While the shock
attending the fall was extremely severe,
giving rise to serious apprehension at
the time, we are pleased to state that at
this writing her condition is somewhat
improved, and that strong hopes are
entertained for er'recoyery.

School Notes.

A lady teacher in one Of the depart.
ments of our public school favors us
with the following:
The attendance, which has been COM
paratively small since the holidays on ac-
count of sickness among the childred. is
very much improved this week.
The A class of the primary depart
ment have taken up the study of
Language" lis a regular recitation.
The A class of the intermediate will
hereafter recite U. S. Histo-y-without
text books--on Tuesdays and Thursdays
instead of Geography. The same class
have been at work during the past week
upon written descriptions and maps of
our city. Those whose maps are es-
p~ecially neat and accurate are: Annie
Kimble, Frank Stark weather, Willie
Wiehe, Lottie Johnson. Nellie Altaffer,
Theo. Shoemaker and Ora Feay.
Friday afternoon, Feb. Sth, will be
devoted to temperance recitations, es-
say songs. etc, by the pupils of the
primary and intermediate departments.
The teachers earnestly desire the pres
ence of the patrons and friends on that
day, that they may encourage temper
ance training-where it should begin
in the school room.
Visitors are "few and far between"
Our school directors are still conspicu-
Gus for their absence.
To-day friday occurs the regular
monthly examination.

Thomas III. White, mining engineer,
passed through yesterday on his way to
California, where he goes to report on
gold and chrome gold mines for English
companies. These mines are on the
celebrated McGarrahan grant. Mr..
White will be absent about a month";
Republican, 22.
Tom has evidently receded from his
former method of reporting upon min.
ing property without examination. The
humiliating fiasco which marked the
result OF his report on the Harvey tin
properties, made on that novel plan, has
doubtless impressed him with the nee
essity of visiting the property first, how
ever remotely located. Tom has evI-
IDENTITY taken a step in the direction OF
reform, which, if strictly followed, may
result in his visiting our tin mines, and
reporting favorably upon them. Tom
should be encouraged in his new de-
parture.

A. party of gentlemen connected with
the b. q NJ. Railroad company were
registered at the Vienna on Wednesday.
These gentlemen came in their own
private c~onveyances. and departed for
the b. & NJ. coal camp on Thursday.
Among the party was j. b. Weston and
n. X. Griggs Of Beatrice. Nebraska, j.
Hemingway, of Springfield. Illinois, and
j. l.. Mckinlay, of st. Louis. 1t is be-
lieved, as it invariably is, hat their
visit to this region at this particular
time is fraught with deep significance,
but, as usual, human effort proved
powerless to determine its character
We conclude, however, from the actions
of some of the party, that the b. Il Nj
company are going to build a railroad
somewhere, but we do not desire to be-
understood as having made the state
ment officially.

L. l.. McKinnon, a u. S. deputy
marshall, passed through this place on
Sunday III route to Deadwo0d, with Mr..
Hight, a saw mill man located about
half way between this place and Buffalo
Gap, who was under arrest for trans
crossing the timber laws. Mr.. Eggen-
berger, a partner or Mr.. flights, was
also arrested for a similar ofense. but
did not accompany the marshall, pre-
ferring to go by rail from the Gap
Similar arrests have been repeatedly
made in the past which have invariably
resulted in the discharge of the accused
which will doubtless be the result in
this instance. 1t is quite probable tina,
this timber farce will be perpetuated fol
years to come, simply for the money
that is in it.

The details of an incident that led To

made public by the passengers, A young
man, whose name ~ not revealed, but who

When the vessel was out of tollingwood
about two hours he was accused of contra

manifested their resentment toward the
alleged criminal announced their intention
to tar and feather him and stripped him of
all his clothing. His alleged accusers then
denied that they had ever made the sug-
gestion on which the charge was based
Nevertheless, preparations for tarring and
feathering had been made, and those
engaged in the work, maddened by liQuor
determined TO complete their work.
Tho cruel punishment went on, News of
the proceedings were carried to the cabin,
where many lady passengers gave express

response to Il protest from the passengers
the officers finally commanded that the
victim should be put in the hold and al

Hayti,s Revolution.

Hayti has finished its revolution and
will be quiet for a time of course, not
for very long time, for revolution is a
chronic condition of these countries of
debased people, where the biggest ras-
cal climbs to command and stays until
. more enterprising rufiian pulls him
down. The revolutions may be the re-
suits Of misgovernment or otherwise !;
they simply signify that another fellow
~ eet of fellows want to get at the crib /;
and they may be a better or worse set
than the tenants, just as luck has it,
They are copies on IA small scale of
our own political evolutions, which are
pOt revolutions simply because they are
peacefully conducted, and all the cheat
ing IL done at the ballot box. The Hay
Mans are perhaps not civilized enough
- be content to be cheated so that their
elections result in revolutions. Ii is an
uuprofitable habit that these little ma
tions TO the South Of Us have of revolv-
ing 50 often, and keeping up a

pense Of keeping large naval force in

told bis wife 10 meet him at restaurant
where they had eaten supper, opposite the
police station. Before Joining his wife he
was oyertalSen by the stranger, whom he
gave dollar TO avo old arrest. He has not
seen his wife since, and Pinkerton men
now at work on the case think that am ac-
eomplice Of the man who followed Hanna
has captured his wife, in the guise of an
oihcer, and that the whole affair is conspi-
raey for big game. A reward of $500 has
been offered by friends of Hanna for infor-
