Wynminc'S Woman Miner.

Mrs. Shane, a widow with two chill
dren, came to Wyoming two years ago
and took up her residence in Jawbone
gulch, Silver Crown mining district,
where she took a claim and with her
own hands has kept up the assessment
work. The claim promises to be pay
ing one, and already she has uncovered a
body of rich gold quartz, with lndlca-
lions of richer ore as depth is gained.
Mrs. Shane is soldiers widow, and IS
a lady of fine education. Her cabin IN
Jawbone gulch bears evidence of refine
ment, and while it is III one Of the most
out of the way places in the camp she
has any number'of visitors, among whom
will be found the best people of Silver
Crown and the surrounding country.
To judge from appearances she is
about thirty-fve years old. She has
brown hair, blue eyes and fair and incl
lectual face. For the past year she has
been teaching the Silver Crown public
school, by which means she has made
her living while waiting for her mine to
reach pay.-Cor. Denver Republican.

Parents would be oftentimes more en-

theological problems than Children arr by
hearing elders discuss them. The writer

boughs one whole long summer afternoon
to compare their theological doubts. W hnl
the boy could not understand was why the

F. ST. JOHN IN THE CITY.

The palace car bearing f. st. John OF
Chicago, the general manager of the ROCK
Island, and party pulled into Wichita last
evening and remained in the city over
night.
An EAGLE representative called upon
he gentlemen in the car which was stand
ing on switch south OF the depot. MT.
St John was found and spoke freely upon
the prospects, the country and the road.
The object of the trip is one OF general
inspection The party with Mr. St. John
consist of G. L. Wilson, master mechanic
of the road. H. Munkhous, assistant
master mechanic, C. Z. Drue, car agent,
and C. Dunlap, general superintendent OF
the lines west of the Mississippi.
The route taken extended all over the
northern lines and lines in Colorado. The
Darty are now en- route to the southern
terminus of the line and VIII return
through this city tonight, going from here
TO Hutchinson, thence to Liberal ana
Dodge City. From Dodge City the party
will return to Chicago via Omaha.
Mr.. ST. John, accompanied by several
Of the gentlemen with him, took a stroll
through the city last evening and spoke
very high in their estimate OF
the city. He said that Wichita
could not but have a bright future, Judg-
ING from the excellent country surround
inc the city. He stated that be was much
cratified at the unprecedented outlook
and that in no state or region through
which he had passed was the wheat in as
fiue condition as he found 1t IN south
western Kansas. He said he would not
hesitate moment TO predict an exceed
incly good period for Kansas and Wichita
in the near future.

sense, Go to s,.en I'm peani.e Order.

senses Go to Sleep in Definite Order.
According 70 tie best writers on the
subject, it has been ascertained that IN
beginning TO sleep the senses DO not
unitedly fall into state of slumber, but
drop off one after the other. The sight
ceases, in consequence OF the protection
of the eyeiids, TO receive impressions
first, while all the other senses preserve
their sensibility entire. The sense or
taste is the next which loses its suscepti-
bility to impressions, and then the sense
of smelling.
The hearing is next in order, and last
of all comes the sense OF touch. Fur
thermore, the senses are thought to sleep
with different degrees OF profoundnesS.
The sense of touch sleeps the most
lightly and is the most easily awakened;
the next easiest is the hearing; the next
is the sight, and the taste and smelling
awake the last.
Another remarkable circumstance de-
serves notice; certain muscles and parts
of the body begin to sleep before others.
Sleep commences at the extremltles, be-
ginning with the feet and legs, and
creeping toward the center Of nervous
action. The necessity for keeping the
feet warm and perfectly still as pre-
liminary of sleep is well known. From
these explanations it viii not appear
surprising that, with one or more OF the
