Wedding Bells.

Last Wednesday evening at the resi-
dence of the BRIDES parents in Wads-
worth, Mr.. Leonard Elmer Hurt and
Miss Matte billiard were united in the
holy bonds OF Inatrimony, Judge Hum
mel officiating. Although the rain
poured down in torrents, the lightning
flashed in the sky and the night was in
tensly dark and thoroughly disagreeable,
a goodly number of friends braved the
elements. The company was light
hearted and the hum of busy CONVEX
station was lulled only by refreshments
in variety. The young couple were reci-
pients OF a number OF presents, useful
and ornamental, many of them being
the most costly OF those necessaries
which are used in housekeeping. The
groom is a young man who has been an
employee of the Truckee Division OF the
Southern Pacific for several years and
during that time has proved himself TO
be steady and industrious. The bride
is a Nevada girl who is an accomplished
young housewife and her husband is to
be congratulated upon choosing her for a
life-mate as she is well qualified to be in
every sense a help-mate. 1t wat very fit
ting that the gentleman, who, as a public
school teacher, trained her mind from
the time she lisped her a-b-c's nearly TO
to the present, should perform the
marriage rites which united her life
with that of another, and a graceful
compliment of her appreciation Of him.
The grooms best man was Willie billiard
and Ada Lamb acted as bridesmaid.
The happy couple have left for a wedd-
ing tour along the coast to Portland,
Oregon, and the DISPATCH heartily
wishes them a pleasant journey through
life, hoping the bride will ever emem-
Der that in her mother she has q ex-
ample OF the thorough American house,
wife who knows no such word as ''fail..'

MORE GOLD DISCOVERED.

A DISPATCH reporter who has lived in
a mining camp nearly all his
lille n who has seer a great many
rich specimens, saw the equal OF the
best OF them among some samples of
gold bearing quartz which David Wash
Elm brought in from White Horse the
other evening. 1t was pure virgin gold
like the yellow gold OF California and
was in the quartz in such a maner that
it seemed that if the rock could be sliced
OIL there would be a sheet of gold as
thick as a twenty dollar piece. The find
is in a different direction from the trend
OF the ledge OF the Jim Blame and proves
most satisfactorily that there are a
number OF lodges in the district and
that White Horse is assured of perman-
ency. Even the croakers who have
maintained all along that there was but
one good ledge, and that being taken up,
there was nothing to do but await devel-
opments, are abashed and silenced and
lost no time in striking out to make a
location. Dave Washeim's latest find is
invaluable ss regards the amoun of
good it will do the camp by proving that
the boundaries OF White Horse district
are OF considerable extent. The spark
ling gold OF the new prospect threw the
town once again into paroxysms of ex-
element and delight and scores OF men
now line the hillside. Some of the
disappointed ones are bewailing the fact
they did not arrive at the scene in time
to stake out a piece of ground and the
rush to the new diggings was not unlike
the rush to Oklohoma when that strip
was thrown open for settlement. The
DISPATCH ~rejoices that the theorists were
bowled over and feels more than ever
that White Horse is in it to stay. 1t
requires development only to show the
world that there is gold there and in
plenty.

Demise Of Adam and Eve!

Capt. C. g. Warner informs US there
died at the Pyramid Reservation on
Sept. 4th, 1888, two, aged Indians, As
near as can be acertained they were
aged 90 and 1O4. They have been feeble
for years. In the morning Jimmie Jones
came to the carpenter, Mr.. Bailey, say
ing; 81 want q coffin made for Old
Adam, yes George you just AS well make
two Of them while you are about it, for
Eve will die too before night" Up. m.
Jimmie returned to Mr.. Bailey saying :
II told you 30 George, she died too, now
sure want another box but don't paint
EN- black" But little is known Of
Adams antecedents though some In
dams claim that he was in the fight with
Mai. Ormsby and that his wife sent the
bullet which ended the Majors life.

heve they win surely pick winner if they
only see a hunchbaCk on their way TO the
track, or, better still, if they get near
enough to gently touch his deformity
Others are firmly convinced that if they
can rub the wool on a blind darky's head
tickle fortune will lead them to place their
money on a 10 to / shot or on some horse
again ST which even larger odds are offered
by the boOkmaizers. Still other race track
habitues believe that they will surely be
hoodooed if they fail to drop dime or
quarter into the hut of every beggar they
pass while on tueirway to the races. These
supurstitiOus cause hordes Of beggars to
throng the approaches to the large tracks,
and many huuChback's hump has been
rubbed as enthusiastically by turf gam
blers as the wonderful lamp was rubbed
by Aladdin.
Although many bettors who industrious
ly foudle the wool on blind darky's head
or touch tine deiormity between a hunch-
backs shoulders find it necessary to walk
home from the track now and then, they
do not lose confidence in the efficiency of
their pet masCots. Frequently they are
hoodoocd after the mascot has begun to ex-
ercise it's charm, and what mascot can with
stand the baleful effect of a genuine hoo
doO2
Many a turf plunger has run into ver-
table nest of mascots ON his way TO the
races and entered the track prepared to
wager his very shoes on any horse in the
first race only to meet the Daleful glance
of a cross eyed woman in the grand stand
and feel himself so thoroughly hoodooed
that he dares not risk a nickel on even a
"lead pipe cinCh." The cross eyed woman
Loodoo is bad enough, but walking under
ladder is a dire act filed with the double
distilled quiutessence Of Jonahism and is
invariably followed by walking home.
Probably the most popular mascot in
America today is the rabbits foot A great
many people believe that any rabbits foot
IS all powerful in routing hoOdoos horse,
foot and dragons, but this is a grave
error. To be a genuine mascot a rabbits
foot must be taken from the left hind leg
of graveyard rabbit caught in said grave
yard at the very witching time Of night
when churchyards yawn, etc. This is one
definition of a potent rabbits foot, but
other mascot authorities declare that tn,
foot to be truly ellicacious must be takeI
from the left hind leg Of a graveyard rab
bit caught in the dark of the moon at mid
night by a cross eyed colored man who frs
crawled into the graveyard backward. TC
this conflict of authorities and failure II
carry out the entire programme is doubt
less due the occasional failure of a rabbit
foot to ward off hoodoos.
The experience Of the Louisville baseball
club this season plainly demonstrated tina
IA rabbits feet could make the strOnges
kind Of an uphill fight against overwhelm
ing hoodOos. AS every student of baseball
history knows, Sinbad the sailor had an eas
time unseaUing the Old Man of the Sea con
pared with the time the Louisville club ha
in shaking the hoodoo that got astride it
neck early in the season and clung ther
with legs and arms Of steel Fourteen raj
bits feet, however, kicked the hoodoo loos

mile in the wonderful time of 2O6M the
fastest mile ever made up to that time by a
5-year-old PAGER At Lexington, Oct. r.
Robert j won the 81 900 free for all pace

which was paced in the heart breaking
time of 2:O63i, and the others in 2:O1% and

At Nashville, Oct. 10, Robert again de-
feated FLYING Jib in three even more re

fore the Louisville players knew that the
left hind legs of 10 rabbits-caught I'm an
