There is still no news to report regard
ing the finding of the body of Cashier
Dawson. All attention Ii now being de-
voted to that portion of the lake en-
braced between the boat house and the
point at which Mr.. Scrymser's body was
found. 1t is now a well settled conclus-
ion that the body will be found In that
section Of the lake. Twenty-Five men
are now regularly employed in the work
OF dragging the lake and are paid by the
day for their services. 1t was impossible
to make any arrangements with a Chicago
diver and Judge Brown has consequently
telegraphed to San Francisco to see what
he can do at that point. There is now
some talk of draining the lake but as
this would be a great undertaking nothing
will probably be done in this direction ex-
cept as a last resort.

INVENTION.
This Time 1t is an Article for House.
keepers.

Emerson Glafcke recently received q
patent for q clothes pin or clothes holder
which is very liable to bring in a much
larger revenue than a very much more
complicated and expensive invention.
The clothes holder bears a very close
resemblance to a large key ring and is
so fashioned that it holds lines and clothes
in an embrace which no wind can shake
off. The clothes holder is simplicity
itself in construction and its very appear
ance commends itself to housekeepers. 1t
is made OF Bessemer annealed steel wire,
timed 30 that it will neither tarnish nor
corrode. 1t therefore holds its spring and
will last until the wire wears out, which
practically means forever. The clothes
holder is being manufactured here and
has Just been gotten into perfect operation.
Before its manufacture could be success
fully undertaken a machine had to be
invented to make it. This has now been
patented and with a single machine the
young inventor Is enabled to urn out by
foot power about 1900 clothes holders a
day.
Three agents havo been selected to work
Colorado, Utah and Wyoming n
through these agents the patented article
will reach the people. 1t will be retailed
at the rate of twenty-five cents a dozen.

presented it to Miss Jeanette Mercer.
None of tie articles to be ratified off have
yet been disposed Of, and probably will
not be before Friday night. Tonight the
voting for the most popular young lady
will begin and the contest promises to be
a spirited one. An elegant diamond ring
will be presented to the lady receiving the
largest number of votes.
