Now there is hardly any doubt that
in the course of centuries accidents
must have furnihed countless oppor-

at least one-fourth of such witnesses
must have had acumen enough TO re-

The '.joint-snake'' superstition rests
on an even more slender SubStraturn of

Every year there must be two eclipses
of the sun. and there may be five These
are partial eclipses, however, except in
the comparatiy rare case in which
the moon passes nearly centrally over

Vatican and sack-Back Coats.

Most new fashions which show
radical change from long-established
modes meet asa rule with extreme OPP
position from the Majority, yet many of
these very fashions finally win their
way to popular favor by sheer force of
insistence. Scores of derisive adjectives.
have been applied to the Vatican and
sack-back coats, but it appears that the
feelings OF many of those who expressed,
an adverse opinion of them have under
gone something more than modifica-
ton. and the sack-back and the Wat
teau models are actually looming up in
quite general favor. This can in a way
be accounted for. There are certain
articles of apparel that, for elegance and
fitness, are almost entirely dependent
on contemporary fashions. The trained
skirt was necessary adjunct to the
new coat. Still advice is given to any

A Costly Luxury.

When a man has cthe misfortune to
lose his wife, if there is no member OF
his household who can take her place
he discovers that housekeeper is
costly luxury. Beside the first expense,
he finds that it makes great differ
ence in the out-go whether there is
person at the head of affairs devoted to
his interests, or one who is serving
merely for an expected return. One is
faithfully striving to manage his prop
erty in the most economical manner,
while he is fortunate if the other is not
wilfu1ly wasting it. The contrast will
force Itself upon him when he makes up
his balance sheet, If it has not i'm
pressed itself before in a thousand
ways If the services which wife rem
ders in the home have peculiar value,
should she not be entitled to fair
share of the funds of the firm, whose
money she is saving, to be expended at
her Observation-Disclosures Home journal.

Last Saturday evening a Mexican shot
and mortally wounded James Patterson,
and Patterson, after having been shot
through the body, killed the murderer.
Last week Idus l. Fielder, Of this
place, went over to Gold Hill on mining
business IN which be and Mr.. Patterson
wore interested. While there he was
asked to make a speech on the silver
question, which he did. AS he was walk
ing home with Patterson the Mexican
stopped Patterson and aeked him for
some money which be claimed was due
him. Patterson, not knowing whether
there was anything due him, told him he
had no money. and then the Mexican
asked him for some whisSey. Patterson
went into a saloon and told the bar
tender to give the Mexican some whis-
key and charge il to HIM and then start
ed home. The Mexican got the whislxey
and followed Patterson and Fielder He
overlook them and again asked Patter-
son for money and was persistent in his
demand. He followed them to the house
and took hold Of Patterson's coat,
attempting to detain him, but at length
both Patterson and Fielder got into the
house Then Fielder expressed fear
that perhaps the Mexican would steal
his horses, which we're in the corral,
They both decided to go and look after
the horses, but before they went out
Fielder suggested TO Patterson that he
better take a gun along. Patterson said
that he did not have a gun, and Fielder
went to his valise and gave him a pistol
They went to the corral, where they
found the horses all right but as they
returned to the house they saw the Mex
lean in the act Of crawling IN at one Of
the windows. Patterson called to him tc
get out Of the window, which he did, anG
almost Immediately he began shooting
at Patterson. He fred three shots, one
Of which took effect In Patterson's side
passing entirely through bis body. Th'
ball went through the liver and tn,
lower portion of the lungs. After re
ceiving this mortal wound Patterson
opened fire on the Mexican, and sho
him through the heart, killing him in
stantly.
Fielder sent his team here for Docto
Stephens, who went out Immediately
Patterson died Sunday afternoon abou
o'clock. He has been a resident o
this County for many years and ha
} always borne the reputation OF being
, quiet, peaceable citizen. He leaves
wife and two children to mourn his VI
timely death.

The Rainy Season.

Old residents say that there has not
been a rainy season here for a number OF
years like the rainy seasons we're many
years ago. Then there were daily rains
during the rainy season and but very
little ram at any other time Of year,
while now rain falls very irregularly in
that part Of the year which was known
as the rainy season IN earlier days. This
year rain began TO fail the last week in
January and the roads were kept muddy
nearly all the time until April. From
April until the latter Part of June
scarcely any rain fell, and then the rains
we're very irregular and most Of them
we're light. There have been only two OF
three heavy rains here since last winter
II is asserted by many old residents that
the climate is changing here and that
the tendency has been for a number Of
years toward more rainfall In the winter
and less in the summer. There is but
