Modern street Car Experiences

Experience has taught me, remarked
Burlington citizen to a reporter for the
Gazette of that city, that there are two
important rules to be observed in riding
on street Car. One of these is, not to
board the car before it stops, and the
other Is. to stay aboard until it stops.
There is no use of a man going to work
to mop up public street with his clothes,
he being in his clothes at the time. Au>
other thing. if the car goes by you, hav>
ing failed to comprehend your signal, it
is just as well to swallow the insult and
find place TO camp until the few min
utes expire. Time was when a man
could chase a street car in this town with
feeling that he had sure thing. He
could overhaul it on his hands and knees
with degree of ease that made him feel
ashamed of his best adyantage. But now
it is different The advantage is vice
versa.
As rule man never feels so much
like chasing an electric car as when he is
running after it, and he is never more
fully satisfied that he cannot cat ch it as
he is when he stops. The only hope for
man in pursuit of an electric car is that
the car will be obliged to stop and put off
cripple who has to be carried out, or
perhaps to stop and wait for woman
who has signalled the Car from the wrong
crossing and who has to overcome her
mad spell and get across the street. In
either of these cases, however, the hope
for the pusuer is very scsnt, and the car
is likely to 60 singing merrily away just
as he gets close enough to smell the
birthstone on its heels"

The Theatre.

George G. Staley's Royal Pass" was
presented to fair audience at Hs,per's
theatre last evening. The scenes of the
play are mostly laid in Russia and there
are many realistic spectacular effects,
chief among which is the appearance of
two steam locomotives. Mr.. Staley
shows himself to be dialect comedian of
splendid ability and be also sings well.
The support throughout was good.
On Tuesday evening next We are to
haye the great Lyceum theatre success,

Mail and Express of March 10 last, said
At the Lyceum theatre, when the
audience called for the authors of tie
play. highly striking effect was pro-
duced by the appearance of Walter G..
Bellows and Benjamin F. Roeder who IN
proportions, color, manner and facial ex.
preston seem like clever limitations of
DeMille and Belasco. The sudden fancy
that these gentlemen might have been
made up" to impersonate the authors of
1.-The Wife" The Charity Ball." and
Men and Women, has q singular en-
dorsement in the play itself. which in its
personsges. its cast, its theme, its COM
plicstions, Its humor, was, like the dramst-
lists, reflection of Belasco and De Mile
clear, crisp, amusing interesting, good,
and above all. actable The acts are
strong. The situation, consisting of a
sequence of b,ief scenes, in which the
heroine, loving one man. promises to
marry the lover of her childhood to save
him and her guardian from financial ruin
and in which her confession of love for
the newcomer is overhead by the ruined
man, who silently locks himself in his
room and commits suicide, is impressive,
admirably conceived, wrought out and
acted, and fulhlls as we'll as anything

go to the head waters of the Mississippi
river, Lake Itaska. Minnesota. and follow
its course on the wheel to New O.leans
and the Gulf of Mexico. The distance
is about $500 miles and they estimate
that this can be covered in about SO or
40 days, if not prevented by storms or
unforeseen accidents. This course will
lead them through several lakes in north
ern Minnesota. About the only difficult
or dangerous passage to be made is prob,
ably the rapids above ST. Pau, about
90 miles, but it Is thought the wheel
will safely pass through them Brief
stops for supplies will be made at Brain-
ard. Mimi, Sank Rapids, St. Paul, La

and New Orleans, and it is possible the
trip may be extended TO Cedar Ceys, Fla,
across the gulf sbou, $50 miles. This
will be the first trip of the kind on record
and, il successful, will demonstrate the
practicability af the squacycle.
Col. Wilson will write sketches of the
trip for publication, and the progress of
the voyage will no doubt be watched

 Accident.
Hos Angeles Express l

J. F.. Durkee, the Arizona capitalist, who threatened Co commit suicide at the Nsdeau hotel Saturday afternoon, was not intoxicated, as was supposed to be the case among the bystsnders at the time. Over a year ago. while a guest at the Nadeau, he was so III thai his life was despsired of, and he would scarcely have recovered but for the constant and tender care of his estiln- able wife. While he recovered sniff ciently to attend to business, ,.he never fully regained his strength, and at all times has been physically weak and extremely nervous. During a recen, visit to Arizona he received a severe confusion on the head. and to these combined influences is ta be attributed his irresponsible attempt at self de struc,iOn on Saturday
 He was never a drinking man, rarely taking even a glass of wine, and he was not under the influence of intoxi cants Saturday. MT. Durkee is gen. tleman, highly respected by all who know him, generous and warm hearted and his domestic relations are of the most enviable character. Mrs. Durkee bring a it companion to such a man The sad affair of Saturday was due entirely to his bad physical condition temporarily unbalsncing his mind,

HEAD CENTER WINS. In the Suit Brought Against it by Dis oruntled Stock
 holders.

The Daily San Francisco Report of last Saturday ssys:
 Judge Wallace gave judgment to- day for the defendant in a number oi suits brought by Joseph L. Moody and others against the Head Center Min ing Company. The actions were to restrain the defendant from ceiling the stock for non payment of an as sessment. The plaintiffs charged the company with not having pursued the purposes for which it had been incor- poraied and it having done no husi- ness except obtaining 100000 shares of Head Center and Tranquility Min ing Company stock. They syerred that the assessment had been levied for an Illegal purpose. One of the suits was brought in the name of Peo pie of the State to sanul the Com pany's charter. The corporation was victorious ID all the suits.
 The settlement of this vexed ques- ton as already stated in the PROsPEC- TOR means the collection Of the as sessment and the probable starting Ci work on the Head Center.
 The assessment was IPvied on Jan. 19, 1891 and the delinquent sale has been postponed from month 10 month and in some instances from week to week since that time, The sale will come of on Oct. 20, next Tuesday.

Hand digging.

The Enterprise of Silver City gives some information regarding hand jig ging at Cooks Peak, which may prove of benefit to chloriders in this section. Walter c Hsdley, manager Of the Cooks Peak Mining Company, had a couple of jigs made under the direc- ton of J. H. Cook of Joplin, Missouri, who has had ssreTs! years experience with various classes of gre. The ma chimes were built at the mine and al Deming, and cost about Sl0O each, the principal expense being in the manu- fscture Of the grate. Mir. Hadley has since bought larger grates (iR sections) for s5, which would certainly reduce the cost of the machine to about $40 or $50.
 The jigs were built for the purpose of experimenting on a dump of from 5000 to 1000 tons of low grade ore averaging about s silver and ' per cent lead. At the time of the visit of the Enterprise man to the mine, 1000 tons had been worked to the entire s.tisfa; ;tion of Mir Hadley. About len tons were concentrated into one, the last returns giving S52 in silver and 70 per cent lead. Fully 90 per cent of the silver and all oi the lead was saved, which is perhaps better showing than could be made with the various steam concentrating machines with much less expense for operation and without any investment to speak of

As he reached it he turned so as to face the court, and drawing a revolver from his pocket placed the muzzle to his breast and fired. Great excitement ensued, but the judge re- mained cool. The wounded man had fallen headlong 10 the floor as he fired the shot and was lying unconscious. with the blood streaming from the wound The court ordered the bailifr to bring the wounded man to the bar of the court. He did so and laid him on the floor. "Let the poll of the jury proceed" commanded the court. Just as the last juror was called Rowlen re- yived. "I am dying" he said ''but l am innocent"

It Was Not Such a Bad swear Word
 Either.
 ''In 1882 old Black Hawk came back into Illinois with the Sacs and Foxes, and militia companies were raised to go and fight them. All the young men went into the Black Hawk war, and Lincoln and l." said William Graham Green, of Illinois, to New York Sun man, were among them. Maj. Moses K. Anderson came to form the companies and get them into shape. Now, Kirk patrick was very anxious to be elected captain of our company, and so was Abe Lincoln. Maj. Anderson got us all to- gether, and then he called out:
 You aspirants for the captaincy walk twenty paces to the front and face the line Kirkpatrick and Lincoln stepped out and faced about.
 " Now said the major. the rest of you fall in alongside of the man you want for your captain"
 ''l was the first to run to Lineoln's side. and l stood at his right Kirk patrick's men formed on his left After awhile, when all had chosen, there were two long lines, one to the right of Lincoln and one to the left of Kirkpat- rick. Then we saw that Lincoln had beaten Kirkpatrick two to one and had seven over to spare. I'll never forget how, when Abe Lincoln saw how things had gone, the old fellow put his big, horny hand on my shoulder, and 1 could feel him all trembling with delight as he said:
 '' Bill, I'll be damned if hain't beat him" That was the first time that ever heard Abe swear, and know he must have been powerfully excited to do it.
 ''It was at that time that Lincoln first met Jefferson Davis. Zachary Taylor and Davis were both there, and Jeff Davis swOre Lincoln into the service of the United States as captain of our company. I saw him do it."

A Mystery

How the human system ever recov- CTS from the bad effects of the nauseOus medicines often literally poured into it for tine suppositive relief of dyspep- sia, liver complaint, constipation, rheumatism and other ailments is a mystery. The mischief done by bad medicines is scarcely less than that caused by disease. If they who are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, cOnstipsted or rheumatic, would oftener be guided by the experience of invalids who have thoroughly tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they would in every instance obtain the speediest aid derivable from rational medication. ThIs medicine is searching and at the same time thoroughly safe remedy, derived from vegetable sources, and possessing, in consequence of its basis of pure spirits, properties as medicinal stimulant not to be found in the fiery lncol bit ters and stimulsnts often resorted to by the debIlitsted, dyspeptic and lsnguid.

gRrrrsH SOLDIERS ON WHEELS.
Cyclists Who Can Fight Either Infantry
 or Cavalry.

or tdNklrY.
 Is the soldier cyciist a good killer? The men of the Twenty-sixth Cyclist corps can thrust their swords through a suspended lemon while riding at a rate of sixteen miles an hour.
 Tbe safety bicycles are fitted to carry the rifle at the side. which can be taken out in three seconds, a pouch carrying one hundred rounds of ball cartridges, signaling bags, etc, the whole weight of which is something under seventy pounds, including machine.
 Not the least interesting weapon car ried by the cyclists, says the Strand Magazine, and used for the first time at the Easter maneuvers, is the Gatling gun. This particular gun used is capa- ble of firing at the rate of six shots a second. It weighs ninety-seven pounds, the ammunition being carried in cases for the purpose. It is transported to and fro OD gun carriage composed of four safety machines coupled to one another and ridden by four men.
 The bicycle zereba is for the purpose of resisting cavalry, and is formed by some twenty or thirty machines. which are stacked on to one another, the men getting behind the cycles and firing at the approaching enemy. So clever are they at forming these cycling squares, So tO speak, that the whole thing can be accomplished in five or six seconds. Indeed, taken all round. the military cyciist is not only very ingenious fel- low, but good way ahead of the ordi- nary infautryman; in fact, he is really an infantryman on temporary wheels.

During the past week there have been vague rumors of a determination having been officially expressed that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe would push the north and south road through 10 Benson to co meet with the Guaymss branch of the road.

He is said to have expressed much surprise at the steady growth of the traffic on the N. M & A road, and especially that portion of it which or iginstes at Tombstone and Bisbee. In connection with this visit the follow ing, clipped from yesterdays Gazette, Is interesting:
 Col. Sims arrived yesterday from the east. The Col stopped in Chicago and had 8 personal interview with E. NJ. Dickey, who assured him that the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phenix rail- road company would positively build their road on to Benson.

The best ore is being shipped and the rest piled up with a view to soon starting up the mill at Final Just how great the. body Of ore is, cannot be determined until it is further explored, but its discovery at this point proves the correctness of the judgment of many practical miners who always contsnded that the work was going away from the main ore hodv-Enternrise
