per cent per annum on the money in

nothing. They have merely reduced

Three more Einel Towers.

The idea Of building three more
Eiffel towers, and then turning the
four into the four legs of a huge plat
form, wherein a sanitarium can be
built above the smoke and stir and
dust and noise of cities, whittier in
valids could ascend in search Of pure
air and seclusion, is being discussed
with every appearance of sincerity in
Paris. The notion is certainly a big
one, and worthy Of the age which
tackles such big undertakings as a
Panama canal and a channel tunnel,
but it will not fall to the lot Of invalids
in this generation, l fear, or the next,
either, to avail themselves OF the
aerial sanitarium which is suggested.

An Indian Earthquake Scare.

The Lassen Advocate says: The
Indians hereabouts are very badly
frightened over the recent shake-ups,
and fear that this portion of California
will be engulfed. There is an old In
dian in Willow Creek Valley who has
seen the SHOWS of ninety odd Winters,
who declares that he al remember
when a mountain near Frank Fleuro's
place, on Willow creek, sank, and
water surged up. covering the whole
country, and that the water again
subsidized and the mountain rose once
more. There is a tradition among the
Indians that such a thing has occurred
many times, but this old fellow de-
clares that he can remember such an
occurrence We are in the very
midst OF a volcanic REGION in TACT all
this portion of the country is OF vol
canic origin, and the frequent and
severe shocks certainly indicate q
renewed activity somewhere.

A Hard winter.

The Reno Gazette says: Unless all
signs fail we shall have a hard Winter.
Long-continued heat in early Summer
has been usually followed by early
and severe storms, continuing well
into the Winter. A severe Winter IS
Just what the country needs, but will
work a hardship on many cattlemen
who have but short hay crops and
whose ranges are suffering from the
drouth, but unless We get severe
storms this Winter it will be good
by to the cattle industry. Early
storms are needed to furnish water
and start the grass on the ranges.
and if they do not come much suffer
ing will occur among live stock.

A snbterranean Water Belt.

There would seem to be beneath the
town of Winnemucca, at a very slight
depth, an inexhaustable reservoir OF
excellent water. A number Of persons
have tapped this big underground tank
this Summer, and now all who want
water appear TO be going for it. The
Silver State, Of Thursday says:
d" George Berk has completed a well
near the Railroad Meat Market.
Yesterday, at a depth OF SO feet, a
pump, which he attached to his
steam engine, could not drain the we'll
which has three feet of good water.
X. W. Luce is also digging a well on
his premises" Below this surface
stratum it is probable that flowing
artesian water would be found. Should
flowing wells not be obtained by bor-
ing, the people may do very well by
putting up windmills and working the
surface vein.

ton contained from twenty-five to
thirty persons. There was a similar
attendance from Adrian. On their ar
rival they found that the hospitable Ia.

ample end perfect preparations for the
care Of their guests, We never saw so
large an amount Of cooked rations dis
tributed on such peri; ct system, ard.
we may add, we never saw an equal
amount of provisions disappear with
equal rapidity. No one was forgotten
or overlooked, and the feast was both
elegant and sufficient.
Supper over the assemblage gathered

choir did duty in rendering in classic
style the songs that patriotic people
delight to hear. Luverne NAV we'll be
