Here is shoe shop. One man in
the shop is always busy through the
day-always Industrious. In the
evening he goes counting some nice
girl. There are five other men in the
shop that don't do any such thing,
They spenG! half their working even
ilgs in dissipation. The first by and
by cuts these others and gets a boot
and shoe shop of his own. Then he
marries the girl. Soon he is able to
take his wife out riding of an evening.
The five luborers, his former con-
panions who SEQ him INDUCING in
this luxury, retire to u neigh boring
saloon and pass resolutions that there
is an eternal struggle between labor
and capital.

DEATH IN. A DUST CHAMBER.
A Fatal Accident at the Holmes Mill In
Candelaria.

A Fatal Accident at the Holmes Mill In
Candelaria.
From private letter we learn of fatal
accident Of shocking character at the mill
of the Holmes Mining Company on the
afternoon of December Goth about 2:30
o'clock. A Young man named Arthur Nc
Quade was the victim. He was engaged As
a carman and was running ore from the
chute into the mill. lie had short piece of
trestle to pass over, and this was only
about nine feet above the ground. The
platform of the treStle Is seven feet wide
and on each side i space of two and one
half feet wide. Directly beneath the en-
trance door to the MILL below this treStle, is
situated a long arched fiue chamber bu lit
of brick. In some unRccOuDtable way,
while coming out of the mill with his empty
car, he made misstep and fell off the plat
form. He struck face down on the top of
the arched tlue and crashed through into the
interior. The alarm was at once given, and
tearing away all obstacles the rescueTs had
the body out in about five minutes. Signs
OF life were at first seen. but the young man
died almost Immediately.
DR.. Counsellor, upon examining the body,
gave it as his opinion that the young man
received his death blow in falling through
the arched roof of the fue. The force of
his fall was such as to break the bridge of
his nose and crush in his forehead. The
hole made in the brickwOrk of the arch was
just large enough to permit his body to pass
through.
Deceased was a CONS tock-raised boy. Is
years OF age and was highly esteemed by
all, A dispatch was at once sent to the
father of the young man, Arthur McQuade,

the Rourse as confidential messages of un-
doubted authenticity. in the hope that they
would affect certain stocks in a manner
favorable TO himself. The fraud was dis
covered, and Arnoud, along with his "mu-
sician," was arrested. In his defense the
latter said he merely acted under the ln-
sttuctions of his employer, while the former
excused himself ON the ground that II was
quite common thing on the Bourse to ar
range false messages, and that he did not
know that he was doing wrong. The court
accepted the agents plea, and acquitted
him. but it punished Arnoud by passing a
sentence of four years imprisonment upon
him. This sslutary conviction Will very
likely put an end to many frontier Incl
