Another Protest.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I have been reading
IN the papers various comments in
regard to the hanging in eItigy of the
members Of the last Legislature from
Elko county, and l can safely say tlat
the general feeling in this part of the
county is one Of regret that the peo-
pie Of Eiko did not hang the men
themselves instead Of their ELI Sies as
u warning to other knaves or fools
that might aspire to represent the
taxpayers of this county. The COM
munication of "Runcher" in your last
weeks paper plainly shows what will
be- the effect on the industrial inter-
ests OF the county, aaI all who viii |
be benefited if the road is built is q
few mining com oanies that bslong to
San Francisco and pay comparatively
no taxes in this county. I am sur
prised at the weakness Of the plea Of
the authors Of this scheme in pub
fishing the petition that they have.
Who does not know that there is q
class OF men in all communities who
will sign petition for anythingr and
1 have no doubt that Carlin and Tus-
carora have large sprinkling Of that
class, as is shown by the petitions.
Now whore ID the true inwardEess
OF this RAILROAD scheme? Certainly
the taxpayers Of Elko county did not
ask it; is not this q scheme concocted
at Carson and q liberal supply Of
stock distributed among the members
to carry it through? Ihave no doubt
that Elko county members, or q con-
Il ling friend, has or will have Il liberal
share for them, although I do not
expect to ever be able to prove it, yet
| will continue to think it all the same.
am aware that it is claimed that
these bonds are to be paid (the inter-
est and bonds) from the taxes on the
road. Who does not know the fallacy
OF this? None but u fool, and mono
but a knave would assert it. Now,
what will be the result il the bonds
are issued und sold? Why Mt an
early day with a little money for the
lobby, and the connivance and assist
ance OF such a corrupt Legislature us
the last the whole burden Of payment
will be saddlsd on the county. What
does the gang that represent tho
counties around the Comstock care
about Elko county, they think Of
nothing but mines, and voting for
Jones for Senator, and getting n
square meal in reward for the latter.
Not one in ten OF those INV any taxes,

$4,000 for Three Dogs.

Three splendid, rough-coated st.
Bernards arrived in New York City on
Monday. They were taken to the
kennel of Col. Jacob Rupert, Jr., in
Poughkeepsie, after the Colonel had
given bond in S1,700 for the pay
ment of the duties on them, in case
the Treasury Department decides
that they are dutiable. The Colonel
says he imported the dogs for breed
ing purposes, in which case they come
in free.
The most magnificent of the trio
is Scottish Prince, IL $4,000 twO-year-
old, IS inches in height. He is of a
rich orange color, with a broad white
collar, white blaze, aud white chest
and legs. He weighs PIG pounds.
Aristocrat, the champion medal
winner, is 3 years old, weighs 100
pounds, and is 34{ inches high. He
is majestic, active animal, orange
color, with perfect white markings.
The bitch at the kennel is called AL
tonette. She is only II months old,
is SO inches in height and is still grow
ing. The dogs were formerly owned
by Mr.. Sidney w. Smith of Sunder-
land House, Leeds, from whom Col.
Rupert bought them for $4,000
They were seasick during the entire
voyage on the Arizona, and were fed
principally Oh eggs.

WHAT 1T BROUGHT FORTH.

Some weeks ago there appeared in
our columns paragraph taken from
the Encyclopedia Britannica, rejecting
upon the South and southern people
in very severe terms. stating that the
association of the Carolinas with the
New England States was all that
saved them from relapsing into bar
barism. This citation has called forth
a singing review of the book by the
Hon. I. p. Oglesby, of Alabama, who
in pamphlet of a hundred pages,
has given such a clear and truthful
history of the men who framed the
Constitution Of the United States and
made the country what it is, and so
exposed the falsehood of the writer
of the article in the Britannica that he
must feel ashamed of his ignorance
of the history and geography of the
section which he so grossly reviles.
This book only costs fifty cents, and
can be had of the Montgomery (Ala-
bama) Publishing Company, and
should be in the hands of every teach
err of youth in the South who desires
to see presented in strong light the
golden threads of southern history
that make up truthful history of the
country.

Seen From Abroad.

As an evidence of the fact that the
natural resources of West Virginia
are such as to attract attention wher-
ever they are being widely talked OF,
we clip the following from the London
(England) Times of May 3, 1891:
West Virginia is proved to be re-
gion of untold mineral wealth. The
call to labour has proved more potent
than a call to arms. The rocky fast
nesses are alive with miners, delving
for the coal and iron that have lain
hidden for centuries. Mills are hum
ming in the deep valleys and along
the watercourses, and in the primeval
forests the red-shirted woodsman is
swinging his axe and driving the bear
and wolf before him. Railroads scale
the mountainous and penetrate the
clouds. Oil is squirting from subter-
ranean reservoirs, natural gas pours
forth in torrents, and the glow OF
thousand furnaces lights the night.
The people are in earnest, and are
toiling to develop the riches of this
hitherto UNEMPLOYED territory, which
is larger than all the Netherlands,
with about a twelfth of their popula-
ton. The opening of new railways
is now looked forward to with ankle
ty by the settlers. The railroad that
has really made the western part of
the State is the West Virginia Central
and Pittsburgh, which was the
first to traverse the backbone of the
Alleghanies and penetrate to the
Appalachian coalfield. 1t has pushed
its way through an unbroken forest,
and climbed along the sides of deep
abysses and over the summit of
mountain, turning bowling wilder
ness into centre of commercial &C
tivity.

Her Husband Cost Her $500 in Cash.

The town of st. Libory, Illinois,
comes to the front with an interest
ing story. A year or so ago Chris
Bergmier wooed and won Miss Annie
GAMER. the charming daughter Of a
wealthy and influential farmer The
Young lady was possessed Of consider
BILE property in her own right. Every
thing went lovely with the young
couple for several weeks, when a
cloud in the shape of a pretty and
petite young lady fresh from college
appeared upon the scene. The tickle
Young man promptly fell in love with
her and asked her to become his wife.
She accepted the offer which awoke
the Young man to the embarrassing
position he had placed himself IN by
getting engaged to two dlllerehC
Young ladies at once. Summonlng
up all the courage he possessed, Chris
went to his first love and told her all
She cried, and then released MIN from
his engagement with her.
The thought of giving up the OLD
love for the new was not pleasant to
Chris and he begged Annie to remain
true to him and he would marry her,
let come what would. He next went
to the college-bred girl and asked her
to release him from his engagement.
She was sensible and business-like.
She told the embarrassed young man
that she considered 500 u very mod
est price for her release. After con
siderable wrangling the money was
paid, and Chris Bergmier and Annie
GAMER were made one by the village
preacher. The strangest part of the
transaction was that the bride paid
the money to her rival for the release
of the man whom she afterward mar

Looked Terrible, but he Wasn't

William NJ. Springer is one of the
ablest jefferson in American politics.
To see him make "a speech in the
House is to be convinced that there

seemed bent on having the life Of Con-
gresham Cannon. Here, bending
low over Mr.. Cannon, Mr.. Springer
seemed surely about to strike his
brother Ilinoisan full in the face,

The Alliance Campaign.

Col. l.. l.. Polk, president of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance, was inter
viewed in Washington last Saturday,
and said: The Union will be actively
canvassed by the best talent in the al
lance in the way of speakers, lectur-
ers and canvassers, who will fully eX-
plain the objects of the alliance and
what will be asked in the way of State
and national legislation"
President Polk has arranged through
his forty State alliance presidents to
have mass-meetingS at several points
in each of the forty States during the
next four months with view of ac-
complishing the greatest amount of
work in the shortest possible time.
He will have hundreds of speakers at
work at the same time throughout the
entire Union, educating, as he says,
the masses to the alliance cause before
the meeting of the Fifty-second Con
gress BY the time the national con
venton meets in November President
Polk thinks the alliance will be fully
posted as TO what strength the order
will have as a presidential and con
gressional factor in 1892 President
Polk has taken the field in person,
and will visit every State from Maine
to the Pacific coast.

Caught the Bull by the Horns.

A gentleman farming in Corsica
Neck, Queen Anne's county, Nd,
went into his pasture field early Sun
day morning, May 81, and when near
ing the cattle he was attacked by a
furious bull. The first attack of the
bull knocked him down. Whilst down
he grabbed the animals horns and
pulled himself up, when the battle for
life commenced in earnest. He held
his grasp to the horns, and, getting
alongside of the Infatuated beast,
with his heavy winter boots that he
had on he placed lick after lick, kick
after kick, into the thinner part of
the animals abdomen until the bull

ped the bull is seventy-one years old.

Swallowed a Thermometer.

A great deal OF anxiety is felt by
the family of William A. Martin, a
prominent builder in Harlem, over
an accident that happened recently
to his son George The boy was
taken i'll six weeks ago with an attack,
it was feared, Of typhoid fever. The
nurse placed the thermometer be-
meath the patients tongue TO obtain
his temperature, and while waiting
for the result, young Martin was
seized with fit of coughing and the
thermometer disappeared. The nurse
looked around for it without discov-
ering trace of the instrument until
the patient gasped out rather family:
Il think | swallowed it," The nurse
could hardly believe this at nrst, but
when an additional search failed to
reveal the missing thermometer, ana
the boy reiterated that he had felt its
smooth globubar surface sliding down
his throat, his physician became
alarmed and took measures at once
to regain the instrument. The patient
was placed in a reclining position;
head downward, bat was handled at
the same time with much care, to
avoid any violence that might frac-
ture the delicate instrument hich he
had swallowed. Various methods
were tried to dislodge the thermome-
ter, but without avail The patient
recovered from his fever symptoms,
but was kept in the house for more
than week by the physician, with
strict orders 70 remain perfectly
quiet. He has not felt any bad re-
suit from the thermometer, and the
physicians who have been called to
consult in the case have as yet been
unable to locate it, although now six
weeks have passed since the instru-
ment disappeared. Harlem physicians
are deeply interested in the case,
which is almost without precedent.
The thermometer is several inches
long. Young Martin seems to be in
good health. He is eighteen years
old and attends school, but he Is
boy of unusual size, being nearly six
feet tall. The only discomfort which
he experiences, he says, Is the caution
which he is obligedto exercise in NOV
ing about. He cannot run or play
ball or wrestle for fear that an unusual
or violent movement might crush the
thermometer, wherever it may be,
and the result would then be serious.
The glass can hardly be expected to
dissolve. and he can only wait for 1T
to give some indication of its pres
ence.

Just What Mr.. Cleveland Predicted.

A republication Of Grover Cleve-
lands messages to Congress would
establish for him a very fair reputa-
ton as prophet. He predicted with
great precision the brood of evil con
sequences that have followed upon
the needless withdrawal of money
from trade, crippling our national en-
ergies, suspending development, pre-
venting investment in productive en-
terprise, creating financial distur-
bance and inviting schemes of public
plumber. The vast improvidence of
the Billion Congress would have been
impossible had there been a lean
treasury. The terrible disclosures
that have lately filled the minds of
people in Pennsylvania with dismay
and Indignation are but the culmina-
ton of system that purposely widens
the gap of time between the collec-
ton and disbursement of money for
the expenses of State and city gov
eminent in order that public fuction-
aries may reap illicit profit in the in
term. 10 pay as you GO is alto
gether advisable, but it is well enough
also to go as you pay and not to
pile unneeded money within reach OF
spendthrift Congress and Legisla-
lures, or to trust it TO the hands of
weak and wicked officials. The
proper place for surplus cash is in
the hands of the men who earn and
own it.-Phladelphid Record.

Two Notable dwellings.

A monument of Ulysses s. Grant,
the gift of generous citizen of Chi
cago, was unveiled at Galena, June
Sd, in the midst of vast concourse
of people, and with services made i'm
pressive by music, oratory, and pro-
cessional display.
1t was great occasion and III hon
or of a great man.
At about the same hour, with equal
ly impressive ceremonies, monument
to the Confederate dead of Mississippi
was unvailed at Jackson. There
were also music and oratory and the
pageantry of parade.
1t was great occasion for the
South, and in honor of men whom
Grant knew to be brave, and who
knew Grant to be magnanimous.
AS popular demonstrations they
point in different directions-the one
tearfully to the past-the other hope
fully to the future; but both are pro-
ducts of the universal alteration that
virtue pays to valor.

Hydrophobia Cases.

Some two weeks ago q mad dog bit
a steer, one of herd of cattle belong
ing to the Vanderburg brothers, liv-
lug in the western portion of Atchi-
son county, Kansas The steer was
afflicted with hydrophobia, which
spread to other members of the herd.
There were three of the Vanderburg
brothers, and each of them was bit
ten by one or another OF the afflicted
animals They did not know the
terrible nature of the disease with
which their cattle was afflicted, and
paid no particular attention to their
injuries until Friday, when one of the
brothers became violently i'll with
hydrophobia. Last Saturday night
he died in the most eXcruciating ago
n.y. Sunday another of the brothers
died, and the third was taken to
Kansas City, where he was placed in
the Missouri Pacific Hospital He
has all the terrible symptoms of by
drophobia, and it is not believed that
medical skill will avail him anything.
The physicians say he can not survive.
Richard S. Bartine,. a lawyer of
Asbury Park, n. j., who had been
suffering from hydrophobia for sew
eral DAYS, died Saturday. Mr.. Bar
tine was bitten in September, 1890, by
mad cat. He studied the subject of
hydrophobia thoroughly, and, though
the wound healed, was convinced
that serious result would follow.
A week or two ago he was troubled
by a peculiar sensation in the side,
and on Tuesday in attempting to
drink water was attacked with an
alarming rigor. Convu lsion after
convulsion followed during Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, during
which he suffered the most terrible
