But the looks of him would not serve.
He tried with a lawsuit but without sue

And when you are there you'll have no

Travelling Stones.

The curious "traveling stones" of
Australia are paralleled in Nevada.
They are described as being perfect
ly round, about as large as walnut
and of an ivory nature. When dis
tributed about on the floor, table or
any smooth surface within two or
three feet of each other they imme-
diately commence travelling toward
each other and meet at a common
center, and there lie huddled in a
bunch like eggs in nest. A single
stone removed to distance of four
feet, upon being released, returns to
the heap, but if taken away as much
as five feet remains motionless. 1t
is needless to say that they are large

THE PROFIT OF GAMING.
How Monte Carlo Thrives on the
Cash of the De1uded.

The Monte Carlo Gambling Com
pany, at its semi-annual meeting in
October, reported that gambling
was paying better and better every
year. The total revenue last year
was over $2,000,000, an increase of
100000 over the year before. The
expenses drumming the thing are:
First, $250,O0O to the Prince of
Monaco for the privilege of gam
bling.
Second, all the expenses of govern
ing the municipality.
Third, the cost of bribing Euro
pean newspapers and correspon-
dents.
Fourth, pensions to formerly rich
men, who have lost their fortunes at
the tables, and amounts lent to
plungers who get broke and have
not money sufficient to get back
home.
AS for bribing newspapers, $4,000
we're spent this way from year to
year, one newspaper itself alone get
ting 100000 for keeping quiet. That
is all the management asks of news
paper, to keep quiet and not say any
thing.
AS for pensioners, an Englishman
who lost 100000 gets regular in
come of $3.50 per week.
The gambling company pays all
the expenses of governing the prin-
cipality. 1t pays the Gen
eral, judges of the courts and NUM-
cipal officers, feeds and clothes an
army of 12O and maintains eighty
police. Then it repairs the roads,
waters"the streets, lights them and
acts as general scavenger to the
place. The people have the benefit
of free education. They pay no
rates or taxes, but on the other hand
they have no liberty, no voice in the
management of affairs. They do as
they are told and take all they can.
In addition to these expenses the
society has the cost of maintaining
its own establishment. 1t pays $54,-
500 to the manager of the theater
each season and gives most of the
seats away. The orchestra costs
another $4,000 per annum. There
are over 100 croupiers and as many
more employees of one sort and
another in the rooms. A hundred
are in the Offices and in the detective
department. This costs in all $780,
600 per annum.-S. f. Examiner.

DOMESTIC
Sewing Machines

p The following choice bit of word painting
occurs in Hawthorne's Marble Faun:
women be they of what earthly rank
they may, however gifted with intellect or
genius, or endowed with awful beauty, have
always some little handiwork ready to fill
the tiny gap of every vacant moment. A
needle is familiar to the fingers of them all.
A queen, no doubt, plies it on occasion; the
woman poet can use it as adroitly as her
pen; the woman's eye, that his discovered
a new star, turns from it's glory to send the
polished little instrument cleaning along
the hem of her kerchief, or to darn a casual
fray in her dress. And they have greatly
the advantage of us in this respect. The
slender thread of silk or cotton keeps them
united with the small, familiar gentle in
terests of life, the continually operating in
huences of which do so much for the health
of the character and carry off what would
otherwise be a dangerous accumulation of
morbid sensibility. A vast deal of human
sympathy runs along this electric line,
stretching from the throne to the wicker
chair of the humblest seamstress, and
keeping high and low in species of COM
munion with their kindred beings.''
Housewives, while you ply the needle,
have you ever reflected on the vicissitudes
of life? See to it that your husbands pro-
vide for the future welfare of their families

THE COUNTY COURT.
Action Taken on the Petition OF w. B.
Preston.
Attorney Murphy Finds Partly In
Favor of the Petitioner and
Partly for the County.

/ At recent meeting Of the county
court William B. Preston represented
to the court that he is the owner of
three mortgages, given by Thomas Tay-
lor, of Cedar City, Iron county, .aggre-
eating in amount $4,000 These mort
cages, he says, are taxed at their face
value, Notwithstanding the fact that
the last legislature passed an act ex-
empung mortgages from taxation.
The gentleman asked that the in
struments be stricken from the tax
roll and that he be not required to
pay the tax assessed against him The
matter was referred TO County Attor-
ney Murphy for a written opinion as
the point at issue was new and very
important. The attorney has handed
down an opinion which is partly in
favor of the petitioner and partly in
favor Of the county, inasmuch as he
ADVISES reducing the amount OF the tax
IN such proportion as the taxable real
estate upon which the mortgages are
given IS to the exempt property. This
latter consists of mines and mining
claims In Iron county and the former
OF real estate and town lots In his
opinion the attorney says:
An application is made for abate-
ment OF a tax on certain MORTGAGES
and the notes secured thereby, belong
ing to William 3. Preston, on the
ground that the same are exempt from
taxation under chapter 4S of the laws
OF 1892 1t is admitted that q portion
of the mortgaged property, consisting
OF mines and mining claims, is non
taxable and a portion. consisting of
town lots, is taxable and it is claimed
by the assessor that the taxable prop
erty constitutes but an insignificant
proportion of the whole security.
Under the article referred to mort
cages are exempt whenever such prop
erty held as security is taxable. The
petitioner claims that this case is lit
orally within the statute because the
debt is secured by taxable property.
and that we are bound to exclude
from the range of our vision all of
the property but the taxable property.
But it is just as easy and more ra-
t1onal to say that the debt is secured
by non-taXable property, and this is
Just as literally true as the one-sided
TONER
In conclusion, however, the attorney
advises that the amount of the tax
be scaled down in proportion to the
amount of taxable property held as
security

Nevada state Senators Foley, Viii

has had a splendid effect on the people

Gas at GRAND Junction.

The water has come up in the pipe
at the gas well within eighteen feet of
the top. Prof. Southwen was asked
this morning whether he had fully de-
termined whether the water was ar
tesian, and he said he had not: that it
was possible that the water had
seeped through some leak, and it might
be possible that it was artesian water
If the water flowed when it reached
the top he was sure it was artesian
water. In that case two elements
would be discovered. Prof. Southwell
said there was an impression abroad
that the gas was lost on account Of
the incoming of the water, but that
this was a mistake; that he could care
for both, and that both gas and water
would be produced-Sentinel
