In the northwest, lower cables and liberal re-
ceipts at primary markets created weak feeling
in the wheat market at the opening. There was

An Ingenious Prisoner.

It Is seldom that a convict turns the
hours of his enforced confinement to such
good purpose as an inmate of Maryland
prison. His term of imprisonment is
thirteen years, on a conviction of horse
stealing, of which he insists he was in
nocent. By working overtime he has
earped such sums of money as to enable
him 10 purchase books, of which his cell
contains over 200 A short time ago,
when electric light wires were being
placed in the prison, he became inter-
ested in electricity and bought some
standard works on the subject. The re-
suit was the construction Of half dozen
different electrical appliances, including
burglar alarm, which he has Just com
pleted for the bedroom Of the warden Of
the prison.
Another result Of his industry is lock
which Ii 90 arranged that hammering on
II drives the bolts deeper into their fas-
tening. He exhibited model Of this
lock to the warden, who was 90 pleased
with It that It was at once adopted for
use In the prison. Castings for the locks
were made In the prison foundry. lathe

was relieved Of all other tasks 80 that his
entire time could be devoted to the man
ufacture Of his locks, with which in q
short time all the dormitories OF the
prison will be provided. Exchange.

AGAIN.. .he In.uranes company.

A merchant who was member of a
mutual accident insurance association
was killed, while hunting for recreation,
from an accidental shot. The associa-
ton provided for the payment Of sums
ranging from 5000 to $500, according
to the occupation of the member. Mer-
chants certificates call for 5000; but
the company paid the benefciaries of
the man in question only $500, on the
strength Of a provision that any member
receiving an injury while engaged tenn
porarily in another occupation more
hazardous than the one given in his GER
tificate, he shall be entitled only to sucn
sum as provided for in the occupation in
In which he is engaged at the time Of
injury.
The Illinois supreme court held that
the beneficiaries were entitled to the
whole 5000, as the word Occupation"

cation or profession, and does, not pre-
clude q member from the performance

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-By the railway
crossing accident Of WEDNESDAY night,
previously reported. two women, pas
sengers ON the horse car, were killed.

Crogin, the car driver. The corpse Of
one OF the women passengers was found
across the pilot of the locomotive 100

There is al least one person. on recor

There is at least one person on record
who had lived long enough. This was
the late Mrs. Nancy Britt Kennedy, Of
Augusta, Me. She was said to be 11S
years old, though nobody really knew
her age. Perhaps her case might be
claimed as an answer to prayer, She
arose early in the morning Of cold De-
cember day and began to pray that she
might die. Three quarters of an hour
she thus prayed earnestly, at theNend of
which time she sank upon the floor dead.
This is good fact for psychological stu
dents to work on.

lAmusement for the BABY,

Mr.. Waldrige surprised his baby Sun
day night. He didn't intend to surprise
it; he intended to amuse. He had been
to church, and on reaching home drew
his revolver from his pocket to put it
away. Baby reached for the weapon.
If baby wanted it, baby must haye it, so
papa took out the cartridges every one
of them-and then to show baby how to
operate the toy, he pulled the trigger.
That was where the baby was surprised!
It would surprise any baby to see ita
papa shoot the cook stove on a quiet
Sunday night with an unloaded revolver,

ing its vocation and digesting hard wood

ANXIOUS to secure the building of the
Deep Creek railroad and despairing OF
the U, P. or R. G. w. building into that
country, Salt Lakers, after much blus-
tering on the part of certain individuals
that the road would be started lat once"
from Stockton, aud that dirt would be
flying in sixty days, etc" have decided
that .'the time has come when delays
must cone to an end" and propose to
send representatives to New York to
confer with officials of both the U. Z.
and R. G. w. companies and offer them
last chance to 60 ahead and construct
their roads. If they consent to build, the
''home company withdraws from the
field" II not, we presume they viii
continue to build the road to Deep Creek
ON paper-as heretofore. The esti-
mated cost of the road from 1ronton to
the Deep Creek country is only 81, 800,
900. 1t seems to us that Salt Lake could
easily raise that amount without SO much
trouble if there were only more harmony
among its capitalists. After two OF
three years of clustering they have a.
last started out party Of surveyors, and
it does look as though they really meant
to do something
The Tribune has been advocating thu
building Of that road for six years past
Ifit were built, Salt Lake would be
wondrously hourshing city. Yet tn
old antagonisms of those hard headed oil
Mormons to progress and the desire Q
the Gentles to work on somebody else'
money instead of their own has KEEP
home capital out of the enterprise, an
it has languished. Why don't you go t
Colorado and learn how to build ran
roads and develop mines?

Compsnionship.

An old saying is that which we often
hear repeated: MISERY loves company.
And true it is that "mi.ery" does love
company. So does joy. So does any
other condition Of life. Solitude may
do for q few for short time only, bu
protracted it becomes oppressive sno
unbearable. What punishment can b'
greater than that Of solitary confinement!
Death itself is far preferable to solitary
confinement for any length of time.
Shut up with our own thoughts, bur
dened with our own woes, denied the
benefit of another's sympathy, and with
no one to share either our hope or our
DESPAIR is living death, cruel and tor
turing in the extreme. Joy connot enter
into such an existence, unless 1t IS 'h'
hope of again mingling with those
our companions. But mere presence is
not companionship. My true companion
is one who shares not only my woes but
nv pleasures as well, who, upon each
separate occasion of JOY or sorrow enters
into my appreciation of it as l do myself
One who fully realizes both my delight
and my detection and is prepared to har-
monte his feelings with mine in greater
or less degree. The intensity OF the de-
gree of harmony makes the companion

Leopold Beauman, ranchman near
Cortez, Lander county, per'shed in the
snow while going from that place to lis
rancho some time in the latter part of
January. His remains were not found
until the first OF March, when his
brother, who had supposed that he was
in Santa Rosa, Cslifornis, with his wife
and child, learned that he had started
for the rancho at the time mentioned.
He at once organized a search party,
who found the blankets, saddle. watch
and purse Of the unfortunate man within
few miles of the rancho. All that
could be found of the man was the stub
of thigh bone with the hip joint intact,
the cayotes having torn to pieces and
devoured the body. Many letters from
the wife were found in the postothce adj

piece of rock of an unusual kind, and
upon closer examination it was found to

two days this outfit has been doing little
else but prospect, and this evening the

mining for gold and that when killed
they yielded from 81 so to 81 each in

Several fine stones have been found In
the crops Of chickens that had picked up

Those c. p. Tax Case.

1t now looks as though the tax cases
recently decided at Austin, Lander
county against the C. P railroad COM
pany, in favor Of the county and State
and involving large sum Of money,
may not be SO great victory over the
c. P. as at first might. be imagined.
The attorneys for the road have filed a
bond on appeal in the sum Of S34, 600
with county commissioner and mer.
chant Of Lander county as sureties. Mr..
J. L. Wines, in the Reno Journal, in
trying to makefolkss believe that this
was all right says: IS,
1T is true the tax cases, in one sense,
were decided against the Company, but
so dissatisfied were the attorneys for the
county, including Mr.. Masenbaum, that
they gave notice of an application for a
new trial in each of these cases, bsfore
the company took any steps at all in the
way of an appeal. The decision of the
court gave the county about $4,000 less
in taxes than had been insisted upon at
the trial. Questions of Importance were
decided in fav.r of both parties to the
actions"
This looks as though they were anx.
ious, for some reason or other, to have
those cases decided in favor Of the c. P.
Truly the Power Of the c. P. Serpent
is great in our Land whether voluntarily
or invountarily we shall be compelled
to pour into his capacious NAV our Tri-
butte offerings, that what little Life was
left in us by the Destroying, Slave-mak
ing Gold.bug, might not be entirely
crushed out of us in His Shiny Folds.
