COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
RccaIIed His ncssGna ton.

The Carson Tribune says J. F. Clark,
one of the Commissioners named in the
Reclamation Act, refuses to serve and
has rendered his resignation to the
Governor.
If the Tribune will inquire Mt the
Governors office it will find that Mr..
Cltrk has decided to serve and notified
the Governor to that effect. It appears
that Mr.. Clark was induced to resign
through Misrepresentation, and it is
also stated that the Governor had
promised to appoint Assemblyman
Blakesec if he could prevail upon Mr..
Clark to resign.
There seems to have bsen jobbery in
the Reclamation Act from Its inception

the schemers succeed, will be expended

quite recently imported by Oscar Wilde.
The dwarf sunfower is, in fact, the prairie
flower. Its little golden petals cluster in
punches, and like English buttercups, are
numberless as the stars Of heaven. In many
parts of the Union the. dwarf sunfower is
sown so thickly through the landscape
as to give 1t simmer OF
burning gold, lighting up the face
of nature everywhere from the Missouri
river to the great Salt Lake; in some parts
growing low, the stalk not foot long, the
the flower not higher than a common mari
gold; IN others, rising 10 or IL feet high,
with clusters of lovely flowers, each flower
as big as a peony. Surely no more dis
tinctive, no more representative an emblem
could well be found anywhere than this
flower of the great grassy plains and rolling
uplands. The dwarf sunhower recalls the
soil wherein it grew; its very habitat charac-
terizes the country we live in, where we
were born and where we hope to be laid at
rest.
What claim, may ask, has the kalmia,
proposed by Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, over this
wild, warm, golden flower of the West?

AHUNDRED NILES AN HOUR.

A Possibility of Travelling by Rail ut Thai
Rate of speed.
From the London Spectator
Sir Edward Watkin has. on behalfo Of the
Metropolitan Railway Company, offered
the manager of the Water Railway piece
of ground near London on which to lay
down a line two miles in length. We
shall. therefore, soon have an opportunity
to try what, if the accounts are true, must
be the very poetry of motion. The car
riages run on skates or slides, but between
the slide and the rail is forced film oi
water, which prevents all jolting, humping
and shaking, and, in fact, makes the car
riages skim along as boat does on the sea.
Then, too, the pace is 100 miles an hour.
If the new railway is really practicable
for long distances, all England will be 8
suburb of London and Surrey will be saved
from becoming chessboard, covered with
what the auctioneers call 'villa residences
standing in their own three acres and half
of parklike grounds" A hundred miles
an hour would make Bath as accessible as
Brighton is now, while Manchester could
be reached in an hour and so minutes.

A MOSQUITOES ILLNESS.
Mistake of One Word Makes Ridiculous
Nonsense in n Telegram.

A Mistake of One Word Makes Ridiculous
Nonsense in n Telegram.
Brooklyn Citizen.l
An amusing mistake of telegraph opera
tor, which might have been attended with
unpleasant results, was brought to my notice
recently. The son of well-known gentle
man living on the Heights has been serious
ly i'll, and the father was, of course, anxious
about his condition. When he left the house
in the morning he left instructions that
should the condition of Amos, the son, be-
come worse during the day, telegraphic
dispatch should be sent to him. Amos grew
worse, and the following dispatch was sent:
Amos is quite Ill. Come home at once.
The Brooklyn operator sent the dispatch,
which, when it reached New York, read like
this:
A mosquito i'll. Come home at once.
The father received the message, and as
he did not understand it, did not go home.
At night the father made inquiries at home
about the meaning OF the message, when ne
learned the mistake of the operator. He de-
termined to find out who was responsible,
and made complaint to the President of
the telegraph company. The matter was in
yestigated and volume of correspondence
was the result. 1t was found that the num-
Der of words in the message delivered were
counted the same by the two operators. The
New York operator said that he asked the
Brooklyn man three times whether the first
word was mosquito or not, and received an
affirmative reply three times. The matter
was settled by the discharge of the offending
operator.

A PUNGENT INVITATION.
A Sample Of Extraordinary Expressions
used by an Old Man.

A sample OF EXTRAORDINARY Expressions
used by an Old Man.
Chicago Times.l
The old people seem to have liking for
expressions little out of the common run.
The community was all wrought up over
the elopement of very pretty girl with
the man she loved. Of course, but who was
objected to by the parents, not so much for
anything that could be said against him as
because they were loath to part with be-
loved daughter. When the news OF the
elopement became generally known Curl
osity ran high as to what course the parents
would pursue. Finally one of the neigh
bors decided to boldly put the question as
to whether the runaways would be taken to
the family bosom and forgiven. He found
them more than willing to receive the
daughter back, but when asked when she
was to return the father said:
81 don't know. 1 gave her a yery
pungent invitation, but it is at her own
unction whether she comes back or not"
The doting father evidently tried to rise
to 50 great an occasion.

A Canadian Woman Who Proposes to Stick

Detroit Sunday News.l
"I'Il take II yards of that, said tall,
slim woman, pointing to piece of dress
goods at Woodward avenue store; "and I
want string"
A good piece of tar rope was given her,
and whispered direction followed.
''That is an habitual smuggler," said the
clerk, as the woman passed down the base
ment stairs. "She never seems to be sus-
pected, for she comes in here regularly"
That tall, slim woman wore an immense
pannier as she later marched briskly
through the store, smiling on the clerks
here and there, and went aboard the ferry
boat.
Common thing? Why, certainly it is:
That woman has had hundreds of dollars
worth of goods from this store this season,
and has smuggled every cents worth OF 1t

folks when bustles go entirely out of fashion.

When Minus Reigned.

When Minus reigned in Nineveh,
And Babylon reveled meath the stars,
And Menes ruled oer Egypt's plain,
And grim Sesostris waged his wars,
Who were the worlds own people thenf
Why have they gone and left no sign?
Alas. those hordes of mortal men
Were thou and /, and thine and mine.
Then lay the mother down to rest
Close by the babe her bosom fed,
And children played beside the Nile,
And maids were wooed, and women wed;
And shone the full Assyrian moon
In silvery silence on the earth,
AS the red blood in myriad hearts
Leapt warm and quick with health and mirth.
Three thousand wears and so with usi
Three thousand years and people will
Look up in revery at the stars
That twinkle over Babylon still;
And ask who trod the emerald earrhT
And wonder why we left no sign;
While the hot blood in glad young hearts
VIII leap and dance like ruby wine.
viii the world thus forever roll,
And generations come and go
AS when King Menes sat enthroned,
And old Sesostris scourged the foe?
Who shall the worlds own people be
When We, too, die and leave no signf
Alasi those hordes of mortal men
Are thou and T. and thine and mine.

TALL HATS AND SACK COATS.
The Latest London Fad Not Popular Will
New York Anglomanincs.

The Latest London Fad Not Popular With
New York Anglomaniacs.
New York SUM-
The ambitious Anglomaniacs who are en-
deayoring to introduce here the latest fad
in London are subjecting their regulations
to a severe test. English club men of late
have taken to the fashion of wearing tall
beaver hats with sack coats In the morning.
Originally the fashion is said 10 have started
in the habit of English club men of going
direct to breakfast at their clubs after a
mornings ride in the park. The costume
for the ride was nearly always sack coat,
tall beaver hat, with a pair of riding
breeches. By degrees the great comfort Of
the sack coat for morning wear planted it
firmly In the affections of the club men, and
they are now to be seen all around Pic
cadilly and Pail Mall in the sacks which
they call jackets and tall hats.
This has been considered up to the pres
ent time the acme Of bad taste. A tall hat
always means tail coat in America. A
number of the club men are hard at it try
ing to introduce the English fashion, but
thus far it does not seem to have taken the
fancy of New York men.

fails. When find myself tossing get up,
walk across the floor once or twice and then
get an apple, bit Of bread, anything to
arouse my stomach and set it working. The
moment il commences it attracts the atten-

AN UNLIMITED GUEST.
A Mothers Presence at a Wedding Disturbs
Both Bride and Groom.

Both Bride and Groom.
Chambers Journal.l
We once took in wedding at which the
only attendant, besides the groomsman and
bridemaid, was stout, determined-lookin
elderly female, who did not come up with
the wedding party to the altar rails, but
seated herself in one OF the choir stalls not
far off. We observed that both bride and
bridegroom looked at her with very disqui-
eted glances. Once or twice we noticed that
the elderly female seemed to be about to
make move, especially at that part of the
service when possible opponents are request
ed to ''speak or else hereafter forever hold
their peace" When the service was over
we inquired of this good dame why she had
come to the wedding. "I'm the girls m 9TH
err" was the reply, "and I came to prevent
the business"
We naturally asked why she hadn't
prevented the business" and we found
that the thought had struck her at the last
moment that they "might do worse than get
married after ALL" We have often since
thought OF what must have been the sgita-
ted feelings of that bride and bridegroom
until the irrevocable words were said over
them.

who attended ex-President Garfield during
his last illness, and who received from the
Government what the doctors claim was q
very paltry fee for their services and very
grudgingly given. It il also claimed by
them that DR.. Shrady and his associates
were but poorly rewarded for their months
of anxious watching and never ceasing at
tention at the bedside OF General Grant.
OF course, in the latter case no one knows
exactly how much these physicians re-
ceived, and as it is rigid rule of medical
or to talk for publication, this, together with
many other interesting secrets of the profess
sion, will have to remain untold. Enough
is known, however, to justify the belief that
physicians as rule receive sufficient re-
muneration for trivial services to make up
for insufficient fees in more important
cases. CHARLES LEHARDO.

THE HOOSIER OF THE PAST.

The Countrymau Not the Picturesque Fig
ure he Used TO Be.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The hoosier is no longer the picturesqe
creature he was years ago. There is no
more homespun clothing. Ready-made
clothing has penetrated to the uttermost
parts of the country, and the countryman
can now only be detected by his sun-burned
face and the swing of his arms. As to the
young women from the small towns, they
can only be identified by their fresh. bloom
ing compilations and bright eyes.
In the matter of styles they are fully up
to their sisters of the larger cities; in fact,
the bellies of small towns are often familiar
with New York fashions long before they
become general in st. Louis, this being due
to the fact that the town dressmaker closely
follows the plates in the fashion paper as
soon as novelties are presented.

the novel sight. It was probable the first
nocturnal baptism that ever occurred in the
State outside church baptistry.
