ColOradO's Mineral Palace,

The mineral palace now erecting at
Pueblo, Col, will cost about $3.50, 600.
1t will be a handsome design, the en-
terror bein. a series of square columns
and beautiful polished stone. The
carving will be ornate. All parts of
the building will be made of the
products of Colorado's mines, the
owners in all the counties in the state
having sent in their choice and richest
specim rs. In the interior will be
seen every variety of mineral produc-
ton from stone and coal to pure gold,
the value Of which will be at least,
$4,000,
1t is intended to be permanent cx-
hibit, open every day the year round,
and its orioinators desire to have the
choicest specimens of mineral wealth
from every state in the union repre-
sentcd side by side with the resources
of Colorado. Building-stone, granite
and marble are also desired. The
building will be lighted by 5000 in
candesccnt electric lights. 1t is the in
tention to reproduce this in duplicate
of design and briliancy Of decoration
and display, but somewhat reduced in
size, as the Colorado mineral exhibit
for the worlds fair in Chicago in 1898.

italian Houses.

Italian houses are usually built in a
solid style little SHOWN in this coun-
try. They have none of your ilimsy
shells of walls, through which you can
hear what Your neighbors are about,
but great, thick stone ones which seem
TO defy time, Here houses are consid-
cred old when 100 years have passed
over them; in Italy they are still Young
after they have seen several centuries.
or conrse they take much longer time
to build than American dwellings, and
an Italian would open his eyes IN
amazcment il he could see the rapidity
with which whole rows go up in this
country.
And even after Italian houses are
finished they arc not thought TO lie
habitablc till they have been allowed
about two years to dry. All this
seems strange enough to people who
live in country places and suburban
towns where, often, they look out of
the window one night at bare piece
of ground and see on il the next the
frame of Il house, and in three or four
months watch the smoke coming out
of the chimneys from the fires made
by the family who have "moved in"

West Virgini1 seems to be taking the
lead in atrocious and bloody murders. This
time tile scene Of the murder is in Logan
County, near the mouth of Pigeon Creek
about eighty miles from Catlettsburg. Ky.
Ike Brewer, Jr., and Jim Brewer met at
the store of George Waller on Pigeon
Creek, about one mile from Tug River.
The cause of the killing was the attempt of
one to lead the wife of the other astray.
While Ike Brewer was seated in the store
Jim Brewer entered and shot Ike dead.
jim then fled and a sherifPs posse was or
ganized to arrest HIM. Only the bravest of
men would go. He was overtaken the fol-
lowing morning near railroad camp and
was told to surrender.
The reply came in the form of shot from
his Winchester. One man fell to SIC ground
pierced through the heart. Another of the
posse received ball through the heel.
Brewer was captured after desperate fight.
A posse started to Logan Court House with
their prisoner. When the news of the
capture reached Pigeon Greek brother Of Ike
Brewer started to intercept the posse having
Jim Brewer in charge with the avowed in
tention of killing him. The whole section is
in an intense state of excitement over the
killing, aud more trouble is feared.

A Narrow Escape at Mia CARA Falls.

Louis Sine air of South Hampstead, Eng
land, found himself knee deep i'll boiling
geyser-like formation of water near the edge
of the Niagara Falls whirlpool. Mr.. Sinclair
is travelling in this country for pleasure, and
the sights at Niagara came in for share OF
his attention. Going below at the whirl-
pool, he undertook to obtain better view
of the scenery by leaving the path aud clam
bering out on some rocks which appeared to
afford an unobstrueted view. Without any
warning the treacherous water boiled up,
submerged the rocks. and threatened to
carry the astonished tourist out into the
whirlpool.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Il. Wilson of Phila-
delphia saw Sinclair's predicament and
went to his assistance. Mr.. Wilson took of
his overcoat and managed TO get Sinchir TO
take hold of one end. Thus steadying him
self, Sinclair managed to wade back TO
safety, though the current was so strong
that once he was nearly swept from his
feet, and Wilson with difficulty maint inei
his hold. So dangerous was the rescue that
Wilson's wife tainted away.

The Great Moslem University of Egypt.

Rev. \ w. Sproull of Pittsburg,
who is now in Egypt, writes of the
great AIcslem University at Cairo,
founded IN $40, which, with its 1000
pupils and $40 professors, is said to
be the largest in the world. The
pupils have no benches OF chairs, but
study, eat and sleep on blanket or
straw mat. The Koran is the only
book used for grammar, law, philoso-
ply and theology. The professors
receive no salary, but are supported by
private instruction, by copying books,
and by presents from rich scholars.
From this great university goes forth
annually small army of fanatics
whose whole influence is entirely and
constantly exerted against progress

Points About Olive Trees,

The heigh of an olive tree is usually
twenty feet. but it is sometimes as high
as fifty feet and it reaches an almost
fabulous age. One lately destroyed at
Bcaulcu had a recorded age of five
centuries, and it was thirty-six feet in
circumference. The olive tree is cx-
ceedingly prolific under cultivation;
the fruit yields about 70 per cent. of

Silver Hair.

Some of the very best looking men
in st. Louis, as well rs women, have
their faces crowned by silver hair.
There are three things which cause
prematurely gray hair; they are brains,
neuralgia and Old age .-oh, and a
fourth, too, fear or distress. One of
the brightest, sweetest faces in this city
is that of q gifted woman whose
wealth of hair turned white in one
single night. She was TO have been
married; the guests arrived; the
beautiful girl in her bridal robes
awaited the coming of the bridegroom;
hours passed by and the bridegroom
came not.
The guests departed, and the bride
shut herself in her room alone. In the
morning her dark hair had become
perfectly white. Such strange sight
tic beautiful, girlish face, with its
wealth of spotless hair. She has
never since that night mentioned the
subject. Whether she has heard from

but she is brave and beautiful. and
took up her burden of life fearlessly.-

to celebrate their successful passage
by an entertainment to which the en-

class who had lately passed the third

supper had been prepared, consisting
of all the good things the palate could
desire. Forty covers were laid and
the affair from it's arrangement and
appearance partook of the nature of a
banquet where good appetites and
good feeling reigned supreme. 1t was
a great success, and reflected credit

Land Deeds and Records.

Our readers, Who own land in Lin
coin county, should not fail to be
mindful of the act of the last Legisla-
ture on the subject of recording deeds
in this county. 1t is the duty of the
assessor as he makes the assessment
of this year to gather up all unrecOrd-
ed Deeds. or deeds the record OF
which was burned up, and have them
recorded free of cost to the land
owner; and the ehancery clerk is to
return them, free of cost, to the par
ties to whom they belong.
Let every land owner then have all
his patents and deeds ready for the
assessor. If they are not of record
they will be made so and returned free
of cost.
If you have been assessed and your
deeds not called for and given to the
assessor, hunt him up and place them
in his hands. The act covers all deeds,
no matter how old. Many people
think if the deed to them is recorded
they are all right. This is mistake.
The whole chain of deeds should be
recorded.
Call your neighbours attention to
this matter, and you will thereby do
him a favor.
