The Wayrens Wagon Road

1t is unfortunate that there
is no authority in law for the
appropriation of a dollar of
money from the county trea-
snry to aid in building a wa
gon road from the State road
at the Warm Springs to War
rens. The distance is twenty
miles, and the cost of building
the road is estimated at 1000.
1t is not right nor just that the
citizens of Warrens should be
saddled with the enUire cost of
this improvement, but under
the law the county is power
less to assist. 1t is unfortu-
nate that our representatives
in the legislature did not make
an effort, either to amend the
law, or else to have secured a
part of the surplus from the
State Road fund, for the pur-
pose of extending the State
road into Warrens, where a
wagon road is more urgently
required than in any other
part of the state.

atvely than has been hor former custom,
often having them embroidered most deli
cately, II Ia declared that Tits instance IL
tho first whore gold WAS used in the place OF
steel, both for the olnsps. the eyslets and the
lacing tips. The few intimate friends OF
tho bride who were permitted TO gaze~npt n
tho moro mysterious portions OF her outfit
had their attention called to this feature Of
the beautiful corssts and they say that ex-
animation SHOWED the metal portions to
be composed Of gold as described. One
young woman had the temerity to ask
what the advantage of gold WAS, and she
was informed that IL did not discolor and
was In every way preferable to steel. II
wna generally agreed that the idea WAS an
nwfully clever ono. but at the same time IL
was regretted that the world at large would
not know about the gold. No one dared to
ask how much the corssts cost. Tit price,
however, was 800 a pair, and the bride had
three pairs, one in white, another in pale
blue. and tho third in black.

WALL OBTAINS DAMAGES

Ribs.

a Demented Sheep Herder sent to Warm
springs-The Governor Grants
q Pardon.

Michael r. Wall got a verdict yesterday
against the Helena Street Railway company
for $1,000 damages. Last January he start
cd to cross Main street from in front of the
Northern Pacific general Offices. just as
he reached the street-car tracks u hack OBJ
structed his view and he did not see a cur
which WAS moving toward him at n high
rate of speed. He was knocked down and
dragged about thirty feet and four of his
ribs broken. When Mr.. Wall was picked
up and placed in a hack to be taken to his
residence a large amount of blood flowed
from his mouth and it was thought he
would die. After several weeks nursing
he was able to be about but could not work
at his trade as a carpenter. It appeared
from the evidence that the driver OF the
street-car team WAS u boy of about fifteen
years and that the horses we're spirited. 1t
was also developed that the car was tray
cling faster than is allowed by the city
ordinances. The case was tried before
Judge Hunt, and the jury were out about
ON hour.

Ouida's Old Age.

Ouida is growing old nov, and her works
of late lack much of the eloquence and po-
etc fervor that used to make them 30 ire
siatably attractive. She cannot at present
be far from sixty. She never was a beauty,
though in her prime she possessed her
striking points; her amber hair" of pre-
ciseiv the shade which she used to describe
in her earliest novels, and n pair of exqui-
site little feet, of whose small size and per
feet symmetry she was justly vain. She
used to walk down the long dining
room of the Langham hotel with
her golden. locks hanging down
her back, and with her long skirts held up
in one hand 30 as to show off her pretty
feet in the daintiest of Partisan slippers,
She immortalized Mr.. Sanderson, of New
York, who was ut that time manage of the
hotel aforesaid, by making him the hero of
her novel of "Triootrin.' The brilliant
novelist wah not often given to drawing the
portrait of an American in such flattering
colors. She dislikes our country people
with an intensity of hatred that is alto
gether surprising, and never misses n
chance of caricaturing them and holding
them up to ridicule.-Pari Letter.

Cow Love.

A Kansas paper tells an interesting COW
story. The COW in question recently lost
her calf. After it died she transferred her
affection to the 14-year-old son of her own
or, for whom she manifests a strange fond
ness. She licks him just as she would a
calf, and no ons but tho boy can do any
thing with the dumb creature. The other
day the lad had occasion to go to town. and
as he remained away until after milking
time his sister put IN a suit of his clothes
and went into the barnyard and succeeded
in deceiving the COW until shs tthe COW
happened to see tho boy coming up tho
road, when she kicked the pail over and
made n bound in the direction of the
youth, showing tho most unmistakeble evil
dences of delight. -Chicago Herald.

Steam Motor Troubles.

Arguments were heard in the United
States circuit court yesterday on the appli-
cation of the receiver of the steam motor
line for relief. The road has been steadily
losing money. The receiver had to borrow
to keep the road running. He has
asked permission to issue certificates from
time to time to meet future expenses.
These certificates he suggests should be of
the denomination of $500 each, and to bear
interest at the rate of 10 per cent. per an
mum, and these claims to be first liens on
the property and prior to all deeds of trust.
Judge Knowles, after hearing the argu-
ments, took the matter under advisement.
