Leaves less than half remaining, For the
Bleak shadows of the grave engulf the

Not time for self-laudation, or remorse

ANTIQUITY OF ELECTRICITY.
1t Is Now Said That Moses Made .
Storage Battery.


From the Philadelphia Record.1
Since the startling discovery that
Joseph in Egypt was the originalSingle
Taxer, excessive establishment need
not greet the revelation that the an
cient prophet Moses was probably the
father of electricians. AS King Sol
ONION declared, there is nothing new
under the sun. The theory that cleo
tricity, which this age prides itself up
on as it's own peculiar glory, is as old
as the Ten Commandments and was
well known to the Israelites, if not to
the Phoenicians, has been advanced by
shrewd Biblical student, c. B. War
rand. AS Piazzi Smith has sought to
establish the wonderful astronomical
genius of the old Egyptians by a thor
ough investigation of the great pyra-
, mid, so Mr. Warrand has brought mod
ern science to bear upon the Ark Of
the Covenant and the temple of the
ancient Israelites.
When Moses built his box for the
commandment tablets. he rejected the
common cedar and other native woods
and chose fir wood which had to be
imported by the Phoenician merchants
from the southern part of Europe.
Now, fir happens to be the best known
lnon-conductor among all the great
number of various timbers. Further
more Moses had this fir box lined in
side and outside with beaten gold.
thus converting the Ark of the Gov
enant into a very expensive, but very
perfect Leyden jar, or storage battery
for electricity. Gold is one of the best
conductors OF electricity. Edison or
Tesla" declares Mr.. Warrand, could
not have improved upon Moses fir and
-rr1E
the Ark of the Covenant charged the
strange battery. Aaron improved up-
on this by the building of poles so ellis
Q50 feeD high. these poles were COW
cred with beaten gold, and gold chains
were hung from the poles to the Ark
a method by which the prophet secured
a complete and powerful electrical con-
nection. His sons were killed. without
wounds or bruises. by fire breaking out
of the Ark.
Investigator Warrand has asserted
that in order to deal death from this
apparatus Aaron had only to remove
the costly camePs hair carpets, which
were almost perfect non-conductors Of
electricity and make the culprit stand
of revolving tribes of ISr9eliteS were
thus electrocuted is also a matter of
record in the Bible In building the
Temple, Solomon found that copper
would do as we'll as gold: He had the
Temple covered with copper. and cop
per water pipes led into the cisterns
inside the Temple. On the Temple, or
rather on its roof, a number of gilt
spears were placed in vertical posi-
tons, from sixteen to twenty four feet
high. All these curious facts may not
be convincing; but they certainly COM
pei us to wonder if. after all, some of
the laurels of Franklin may not yet be
awarded to Moses.

OUR EASTERN, NE1GHBoRs.

In the United States circuit court in
Colorado, few days ago, the case Of
Perkins against the Union Pacific rail-
way company, for damages, was dis
missed, the demurrer to the complaint
being sustained. The plaintiff claimed
damages because the railway company
refused to ship wild game received by
it for that purpose. 1t was shown that
the game had been killed in Wyoming
in violation of the game laws of the
state. and for this reason the company
reused to ship it.-Boomerang.
H. H. Hankins, who had a placer
machine at work on the Big Laramie
ground, says that they succeeded in
saving the gold to a. much more salts
factory extent than they had expected.
and the eastern men who We're with
him out there left for their homes well
pleased with the result He thinks the
difficulty is that those who have claims
there ask too much. Claim owners
want so per cent of the gold secured
which it is believed is too much. He
says that work could be afforded there
for 500 men. who could make perhaps
81 per day until winter began, if claim
owners would allow them to go there
and begin.

Edward, the son of Edward Ill, was

poraries; not, as is commonly supposed
from the color of his armor, but from
the mercilessness with which he carried
on his wars, and from the many crimes
he is believed to have committed.

A REsIoNsTRANCE.

There are thoughts that the mind cannot
fathom.
The mind of the animal male:
But woman abundantly hath them,
And mostly her notions prevail.
Any why ladies' read what they do read
Is thing that no man may explain.
And II any one asks for true rede
He asketh in vain.
All. why is each passing depression
OF stories that glooTuily bore
Received as the subtle expression
OF almost unspeakable lore?
In the dreary. the grubby the grimy,
Say, why do our women delight,
And wherefore so constantly ply lle
With Ships in the Night?"
Dear ladies', in vain you APPROACH Us,
With Harradens, Hobbeses, and Grands;
For, alas! though you offer to coach us,
Yet the soul Of no man understands
Why the grubby is always the moral,
Why the nasty's preferred to the nice,
While you keep up a secular quarrel
With a gay little vice;
Yes, a vice with her lips full of laughter,
A vice with a rose in her hair,
You condemn, in the present and after,
To darkness of utter despair;
But a sin, if no rapture redeem it,
But a passion that's pale and play ed out,
Or in surgical hands-you esteem it
Worth scribbling about
What is sauce for the goose. for the
gander
Is sauce We unconsequent fairi
1t is better to laugh than to maunder,
And better is mirth than despair;
And though life's not all beer and all skit
ties,
Yet the sun, on occasion, can shine:
And, mon Dieu, he's a fool who believes
This cosmos of thine.
There are cakes, there is ale-aye, and gin
ger,
Shall be hot in the mouth as of old:
And villain, with cloak and with whinger,
A nd a hero. in armor of gold,
And a maid with a face like a lily,
With heart that is stainless and gay,
Make a tale worth a world Of the silly,
Sad trash of today,

While the mining outlook in Custer
county for 1894, has not assumed any
great proportions owing to the low
price of silver, yet we understand
some work will be done by the various
companies. The high waters of Sal
mon river this spring taking out most
of the bridges across that river and
seriously damaging the wagon roads in
different places has greatly checked
work at Clayton and Yankee Fork.

cratic one in Boise. Our state conven-

Inc body of an unknown man was
found early this morning lying on the
railroad track about one quarter of a
mile west of the mile post at Aurora.
Inc discovery was made by Conduc-
tor Cummings of the westbound freight,
which left here early this morning
In dispatch to local Headquarters
Conductor Cummings stated that the
man must have been run over shortly
before his train reached that point, as
when the body was picked up it was
still warm.
1T was learned that the stranger
came to his death within the line of AL
bany county. Coroner Pole was &C
cordingly notified of the fact and left
this morning for the scene of the acct
dent and upon his arrival will hold an

they decided to jump the brakebeams
The man killed showed the lead in

his example. About half an hour after
ward, Mcclure was Mortified at the
sight of the mangled body of his fellow
traveller, over which the wheels of the
truck on which he was riding quickly
passed. He says the unfortunate man
must have been killed instantly, as he
made no outcry when he fell.-Laramie

The following bit of wisdom is taken
from the Ephraim Enterprise: "The
people of this territory will not be
fooled by the eleventh hour repentance
of Republicans on the statehood ques-
! ton. They are very willing to have
statehood now when it is out of their
power to prevent it, but what kind of
answers did they make to former ap-
lpeals? Even as late as two years ago,
when a Democratic House passed the
Home Rule bill they said Utah was
not fit for statehood and was a block
IN the way of western progress. What
! the people ready for statehood then as
| well as now?"
! What's the matter with our Repub-
| lican brethren? 1t is but short time
| since they were claiming there would
not be a Democrat in Utah this fall
and now they are urging the faithful
being showed under. The people of
Utah know who are their friends and
| they will stand by the party that
stands by them.-Ephraim Enterprise.

The bill restoring. escheated personal

city; that which gave the university
sixty acres of government land near

making desert entries to five years for

reservation for actual settlers; the
statehood bill SO heartily welcomed by
members of all parties August 1; and
the bill authorizing coal land surveys.
Besides these all important measures
he has introduced bills for the return to
the Mormon church of escheated real
1estate, for the relief of miners from
compulsory work in claims during these
! hard times, and other measures of
great Importance and substantial ben
eft to the people of Utah. His record
