STAGE CONNECTIONA.
The Counties Win.

The cases OF Storey and Ormsby counties
against the State of Nevada to recover the
balance of the expenses of the counties for
special election work were tried in Carson
this week before Judge Rising and both
counties won. This Is as it should be. The
State Board of Examiners by this time prob
ably begin to think that the counties elect
Commissioners for some purpose, and also
may have changed their minds abou, the cor
rectness OF newspaper opinions. We believe
the TINES was the first paper in the State to
point out the correct way OF settling the
Special Election accounts, and Lyon county
was the FIRST county to tell the State Board
oil Examiners that they had no right 10 med.
die with the bills that had been allowed By
our Board Of County Commissioners. II is
sale bet to make that none OF the present
Board OF Examiners will be in position To
dictate to the counties VIVA, they shall allow
Tor work they hire done hereafter.

For SherIn.

J. f. Twaddle's card will be found in
auo,her column OF the TIMES asking for the
nomination OF Sheriff from Ire Republicans
of Lyon county. Mr.. Twaddle is the tele-
graph operator and station agent at Wabuska,
this county. and has been in the employ Of
the Carson & Colorado railroad for a number
Of years. In that capacity he has shown
himself to be an Al man, and he has many
influential friends in the valley as we'll as
throughout the county. This is his first ap-
pearanee before the public as an office-seeker.
and it may BE- that he may be fortunate
enough 10 WIN the first heat. Should he Re
ceive the nomination we believe that Mr.
Twaddle would make good run for the Of
nee. The Convention will do well TO con-
slider his claims.

Hodd Raymond Supposed TO Have
Been Murdered by indians.


Hodd Raymond supposed TO Have
Been Murdered bS Indians.
Word reached this place last Wednesday
from Mason Valley hat Hold Raymond, an
old resident Of the Valley, had lnysicfiously
disappeared from that place about the 18th
of this month, since which time nothing has
been seen or heard Of him. Mr.. Raymond
lives several miles above Greenfield when at
home, but for a couple of weeks past has
been stopping at the ranch Of Mrs. Osborne,
a few miles this side of his own ranch The
people in the Valley have been searching
for Raymond for several days past. They
have pretty good reasons for believing that
the Indians have had something to do with
his disappearance, aud the Sheriff is now out
in that country looking into the matter.
LATER-Snce the above was put in fyps
the body of Raymond has been found in the
Walker River with about thirty pounds OF
iron tied to it and large cash in the head l..
The body was found just above Wise's ranch,
above Greenfield. The work is undoubted-
ly that of Piutes. The Sheriff and other
parties are now looking for the Plutes who
are suspected Of the murder.

A Tooth Carpenters Yarn.
From the Chicago Post.


Dentists have some decidedly funny
experiences" said DR.. Howard Mag
nusson recently. Not long ago a Ger
man woman came into my office and
wanted to know if she could get set of
upstairs and downstairs teeth. Of course
| knew what she meant, and she was
speedily accommodated. Another wom-
an applied for the privilege of renting a
set OF false teeth for an evening. She
had been invited to ar entertainment,
but had no false teeth of her own, and
had no money to buy set, that she
might be able to do justice to the viands
that would be set before her. Another
woman had an ulster on her tooth, she
said, and wanted to have it removed.
The latest funny incident that happened
to me was the visit paid to me day or
two ago by woman who wanted to
have her teeth sharpened so that she
could eat beefsteak. That party had the
true carnivorous instinct. !"

Walking Head Down.
From the Scientific American

A performance of considerable scien-
tifc interest has been produced in this
and other cities, which is presented and
known as the human fly. In order to
procure a perfectly smooth surface to
walk on, board twenty-four and one
half feet long is suspended from the
ceiling and near one end of this is a
trapeZe. The lower surface of the board
is painted and is smooth and polished.
The performer, who is known, is
equipped with pneumatic attachments
to the soles Of her shoes. Sitting on the
trapeze with her face to the audience,
she draws herself upwards by the arms,
and raises her feet until they press
against the board. They adhere by
atmospheric pressure. She leaves the
trapeze and hangs head downward.
Taking very short steps, not over eight
inches in length, she gradually walks
the length of the board backward. She
then slowly turns round, taking very
short steps while turning, and eventu-
ally returns, still walking backward.
This closes the performance
The attachment to the show is ID gen
eral terms an India rubber sucker with
cupshaped adhering surface. 1t is a
disk a inches In diameter and 5 of an
inch thick To its center a stud is at
tached which is perforated near the end.
This stud enters q socket fastened TO the
sole Of the shoe. The socket is also per-
forated transyersely. A pin is passed

"A Cat-Raising Town.

The idea of village that is given
largely to the industry of breeding
cats being known as New Harmony fur
nishes the additional proof of the nom
applicability of some American names
to towns.
Twenty miles from Evansville, Ind,
lies this notwithstanding hamlet,
which is becoming known lar and near
as the place where one can at any time
get the latest thing in Angora cats and
the latest quotations.
The way of the village and it's history
is as follows: "In 1910 a Nine Bern
stein, noted vocalist, gave an Angora
kitten to hotel-keeper. AS the aristo-
cratic little feline grew to manhood it
had difficult row to hoe. It's enor-
nous size and bushy tail formed a fine
target for the ubiquitous small boy; but,
despite Its prosecutors, this cat grew,
and finally died at the age of Is years,
after lie of unremitting sentimental
lty. Could this Thomas the First arise
from bis honored grave, to-day, he
could point with pride to a progeny SO
numerous that its members can be
found In every state IN the Union.
The mixing of the Angora character
istics with those Of the mongrel cat has
produced a superior sort of animal,
whose distinguishing tendency is an in
discriminate love of music. Quantity,
not quality, is the foundation upon
which the Angora's musical taste is
based, and he can hear even in the
voluminous notes of wet bass drum
ravishing strains that are lost to human
ears. Hence the name of New Har-
mony." The New Harmony Angoras
are the incest, cleanest pets in the
world, says the Cincinnati Times-Star,
and were it not for their exaggerated
love of music, which they crafty from
within if the means from without fail
to pan up, the kind would speedily be-
come universally adopted as society's
pets

stSquaW Men"

The marriage two years ago of Doug
Carlln, who had previously been great
society man in Pierre, S. D., to half
blood Indian maiden, the daughter of
Fred Dupree, occasioned great deal of
comment at the time. Young Carlin
and his dusky bride frequently visit
Pierre, and are always centers Of attrac-
ton. Old man Dupree is greatly at
tached to Cariin, and recently took him
to his early Canadian home TO show his
friends how well the daughter had done
in marriage. The old man has several
more daughters to whom he is very
much attached. Recently he made the
declaration that when he found suitable
young men who would promise to treat
them well he would give their hands in
marriage, whether the girls were willing
or not, and would present each couple
with $4,000 worth of horses and cattle
and AGO acres of land 1t is more than
likely the young men will put in an
appearance before long and claim the
girls. Among the dozen or more fami-
lies of "squaw men" near here the
utmost domestic felicity prevailsr the
young half-breeds are generally prom

A Strange Suicide.

One of the most extraordinary cases
of suicide in the annals of self-destruc-
ton is just reported from Austria, where
regular epidemic of suicide seems to
exist. Lieut.. Mangasius, of Klausen-
burg, one of the most popular officers in
the Austrian army, is the victim of this
queer freak, while his bosom friend and
messmate is a murderer, yet not guilty
Of the crime. The last time Mangasius
went to the barracks where his compa
was quartered, just few minutes be-
fore his tragic taking off, he was OBJ
served to be absent-minded and much
depressed in spirits. He talked with
mis- messmate tor a few minutes, and
then went to room where number of
new magazine rifles were kept, loaded
one, returned and handed it to his
friend, saying: '"Take this rifle and let
me see if you can aim it properly
Point at my eye" The soldier had no
idea that the weapon was loaded, and,
obeying the words "make ready"
present, ''fre," he discharged the
rife at a distance Of three yards into
the officers eye. The bullet went
through his skull and death was instan-
taneous. He left letter for his cap
tain saying that the soldier who shot
him was innocent.

through the apertures, securing the
hold between socket and disk. The
socket is under the instep, and is at
tached to the shank of the shoe sole.
A wire loop that extends forward un-
der the top of the shoe is pivoted on two
studs, which are secured on each end
of the transverse central diameter
of the disk. The loop is normally
held away from the disk, and
pressing against the shoe sole by a
spring. One end of the loop projects
back toward and over the rear edge of
the disk A short piece of string is Sc
cured to the India rubber, and passes
through q hole in the extension or rear
wardly projecting arm of the loop. The
disk when pressed against a smooth sur
face is held fast by the pressure Of the
atmosphere. If now the loopis pressed
toward the surface to which it adheres
the string will be drawn tight and will
pull the edge of the India rubber away
from the board. Air will rush in and
the adhesion will cease. AS each new
step is taken one disk is made to adhere
by pressure and the other is detached
by the action lust described
