estly inquire what can possibly be more
important than intelligence, virtue and
sobriety? Subtract these qualities from
an individual and what is left to respect?
Subtract them from q nation and it
would be truly morally ruined. And yet
here is q political party asking for the
suffrages of intelligent, virtu0us and tenn
perate people, and at the same time de-
claring these virtues of secondary impor-
portance. 9th. ave demand a national

would pay more in proportion to their
ability to pay than a man with smaller

A Steer II CIIlr. a,

A dog and q steer formed a combina-
ton which put a sudden end to the
services in q Westminster Comm meet
ing house the other day and sent the
worshipers scurrying into the streets.
The dog was doing under wagon
when stock dealer drove a herd of
cattle past the meeting house. The
dog awolSc and ran among the cattle,
stampeding them. One steer dashed
into the church, carrying the light
green baize door on his horns. He
rushed up the aisle believing wildly
and throwing the worshipcrs into con-
sternation. He halted before he
reached the pulpit and stood gazing at
the pastor. Every member of tie
cl'-'rch seized the opportunity to escape
and rushed out. The pastor, left aIorc,
jumped from the pulpit and tried TO
drive the steer out. But he did not sue
coed. Had he not sought refuge in a
pew where the steer could not reach
him the Infatuated animal would have
made short work of him. When the
,nimal became tired of demolishing the
hurch property the preacher re-entered
the pulpit and, the congregation r.
nrning, took up his sermon at the
,oint where it was so rudely inter
!upted.

why are We Honest2

An Arizona editor recently sent
postal cards TO the prominent citizens
of the place, requesting them to give
an answer to the question:: "Why
are you an honest man?" Some Of
the replies which he published were
very curious. One answers: at must
be because Of my burned cussedness;
I always dill like to be different from
other people," Another says that he
is honest because he never held any
public Offices" One Indignantly an
swers: "What dye take. me for-an
angelo" Another sarcastically re-
marks: 81 suppose you're going to
start museum and are lookin' for
freaks. Well, count me out; I'm not
one" Another, a professional labor
agitator, wrote 10 blood-red ink on a
postal card: "What are you givin'
us?" The editor OF the opposition
paper volunteered the answer that he
scorned to lay bare the palpitating
handspring " noble and honest soul

Once = City Stood.
Away up among the sagebrush of
White Pine, far removed from the shrek
OF the locomotive and only disturbed by
the occasional prospector, is strange,
silent city. Once more than thirty-five
thousand people carried on all kinds of
business and traffic there. 1t was dur
ing the phenomenal rush to White Pine
in 1867. Many hundreds OF buildings
were erected. 1t was wild, new city,
which never slept, and where were en-
acted all the scenes which in the telling
made Mark Twain and Bret narte
famous. This was the story which an
old White Pine man recountcd to q San
Francisco Examiner reporter:
Now, if you go there" said he, 'you
sec only few of those buildings, for
most of them have fallen in and de.
cayed. Scattered log cabins yet remain
where mountain squirrels scurry to and
fro at the sound Of mans footsteps.
But it is not of this that started out to
tell you, but of n second silent city
where hundreds of men lie buried and
where SCARCELY hcadstone marks their
last resting place. The hcadstones,
where there were any at all, were of
wood and they quickly rotted away.
The formation all about there IS
largely OF limestone. Water perco-
lating through it partales of the
nature of lime and this in many
cases has entirely petrificd the bodies.
So if one were to dig here
and there in the great graveyard he
would find on every hand petritied men.

down to the features, are intact. The
quiet graveyard, stretching over many
acres, numbers among it's slcepers all
classes. There arc those who died in
midwinter of pneumonia and typhoid
fever, for in those wild times men could
not take good care of themselves. Des-
peradoes are there also. Numberless
PERSONS, of all degrees, died with their
boots on.
THE men who came there on fortune
bent embraced all Glasses. There was
the hardened prospector and the tender
foot, tho professional man, the farmer
for the first time turning his attention
toward mines md the gambling adj

THE TREADWELL SUIT.
Harry Summers Sister makes a big
Winning.

On Saturday last the famous
Treadwell suit was decided in San
Francisco.
The suit involves the possession Of
forty acres of land in San Francisco
making ten blocks in all. between the
terminus OF the McAlister street
line and tic Park Panhandle. 1t
began in 1868 and has been dragging
along ever since.
By the decision Mrs. Treadwell
wins about ole million dollars.
Several other suits depend on this
decision, al of which she wins. Years
ago lawyer named Ames, who wit
messed her marriage, was employed
by her, and he is now suing her.
She paid him $50, 900 to settle or
cease, but it is claimed he took the
money and paid part to Boss Buckley
to be elected Fire Commissioner.
He was the only Republican elect
ed, and it took soap to accomplish
the result.
Harry Summers Of this city is her
brother and Mrs. Abe Coin her half
sister. She has always expressed a
determination to remember them if
she won the suit. She agreed to
back Harry Summers literally if he
would quit the saloon business and
start drug store He observed her
wishes and has now very flourish
ing establishment.
There is now prospect that it
will be more fourishing and bigger
before long.
