RICHMOND SHAFT DISASTER.
coronSr's Jury Heard Evidences in the
Case Last Night.

Case Last Night.
Coroner Kelly and Jurors ]. F. Lof-
tus, Bryan Fallon, j. s. Ferber. James
Fahey. John Sykes and Owen Rich
ards conducted an inquest last night at
the court house upon the deaths of the
four miners killed in the Richmond
shaft. At II 80 o'clock they adjourned
to meet Monday night at o'clock.
Four survivors of the gang in charge
of Howell. who with three others was
killed, were examined, az we'll as
Turner and his shift, who left the To-
cality of tho accident on being relieved
by the Howell shift. Mine Foreman
Hailstone, T. Hobson and Richard
Williams. practical shaft sinkers, aud
A. Alderman, u foreman, also testified.
The testimony in substance showed
that when the Turner shift left their
work near the rock which afterward
tumbled over upon the HOWELL shift,
there was no danger to be apprOhended I.
and that Turner told Howell he ought
not to work the coal out from the base
of the rock. Turner told him also that
if he tHolwelD thought it necessary, he
(HolwelD might put IN a bunting. or
sids-to side prop Hailstone. Hoban,
Williams aud Alderman were of the
opinion that the coal beneath the rock
was pushed out by an accumulation of
gas which let the mass fall; the gas,
they thought, was generated by the
blasts set off BY the Turner shift
This opinion was substantiated by the
survivors of the Howell shift, who
swors they did not blast or pick away
any coal near the rock but were clean
ing up beneath 1t when it fell.

AN INTERESTING DRAMA.

Large Audience.

The Girl Left Behind Me Plsasss q
Large Audience.
1t was the unanimous verdict of the
large audience that saw "The Girl
Left Behind Me" at the Academy Of
Music last night that David Bslasco
and franklin Fyles had evolved a very
interesting drama. 1t is not the great
American drama that has been so long
and impatiently waited for, but it is a
good drama with plenty OF real interest
and real men and women for char
acters.
The scene is located at Post Keuniou,
in Blackfoot country. Montana. There
ia an Indian attack which enables
Lieutenant 'Hawkesworth to make a
daring ride for relief and incidentally
win for a wife the daughter Of the com.
mander Of the post who has loved him
all along, although betrothed to an =
other who proves to be a consumate
scoundrel and coward. His exposure
leaves her free to marry Lieutenant
Hawkesworth

caught in the rain other day.
Baby Richardson is the queen at
the Reserve.
1t Is reported that the party. that
visited the Reserve Sunday had a good

I'm THE DAYS OF OUR YOUTH"
CECIL McNEvIN.

Our happiest time is now when our
hearts are light and free from the cares
and tolls of future life; when youth
dances amid sunshine and the old mon
arch, Time, hides his scythe among the
flowers.
To the youth, how bright the new
world looks: the misty veil Of futurity
is before his eyes, but he can almost see
the bright lights shining through. The
future is full of novelty, enjoyment and
pleasure. He is living in anticipations
and life is a romance. But as days,
months and years glide by and this veil
is being drawn aside, he finds the world
full of sorrow as we'll as joy. He seeks
memory for pleasure and finds life a
stern reality. Be lighthearted and gay
while childhood lasts, for too o trials

Il BRIGHT SIDE.
LYNN SMITH.


whats the use of always fretting
At the trials we may find,
Always strewn along our pathway
Travel on and never mind"
When SORROWS o~'ershadow the heart
and calamity enters the home, the
bright plans and joyful anticipations OF
the future are easily forfeited, and for
getting all but the trials Of the moment
we yield to dependency. Yet if the
thought, that by determined efforts we
could supplant this morbid feeling by a
spirit of hopefulness, and thereby cup
port others and strengthen ourselves,
could be rs wildly impressed on the
mind in the time OF need as it often
afterwards is, who can estimate its bene-
fetal influence on ourselves, and those
associated with us.
What is more welcome than q smiling
~countenance? Cheerfulness is conta-
gious. In the sick ROOM, the invalid is
charmed out of his morbid fancies and
borne away above the effects of his all
ments by the tonic of a cheerful face,
while the chilling yisage OF melancholy
is noted BY the depression Of the delicate
thermometer of the patients pulse and
spirits.
On a blue Monday morning the child
who enters the old school-room with its
dingy walls and its battered seats, with
d beaming face wins the admiration OF
his school-matcs and teacher and diffus-
es a light and energy that relieves the
lessons of their monotony.
"God loveth a cheerful giver." The
lady who loads the little beggar at her
door with the richest dainties of her Ia
BILE, but leaves them u%nseasoned with
kind words or a pleasant smile, gives
but little after all.
Only cheerful minds are to be envied.
The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1894-06-20

But they are usually not the possessions
OF the weak or mrefective, but are al
ways associated with great and compre-
hensiye natures. Life need not be a
"yale Of tears unless We choose to make
it so. The world will be to us just what
We make it. 1t is truly said Cheerful
hearts are the true possessors, for the
world belongs to those who enjoy t."
If We would only open our minds to
the Sunny spir tot 500 | cheer.then would
every dark thought be d%issipa,ed, and
evil actions give way to pure and noble
ones. Ii instead Of nursing and magni-
flying every petty trial until it takes pas
session of heart and mind, we would but
bring the will to a proper choice between
the bright and dark sides and although
the clouds are seen o shut our eyes to
the "%silver lining our lives would be a
hundred fold more happy and useful.
Samuel Smiles says that ''if our views Of
life be elevated and We regard it as a
sphere of efforts, and labor for others As
well as ourselves it will be joyous, hope
full and blessed. On the other hand if
We seek naught but the pleasures Of this
world and work only for our own welfare
it will be full of toll, anxiety and disap-
pointment. Happiness is not like a
great and beautiful gem 80 rare that all
attempts to grasp it are hopeless, but it
consists of a great number of smaller
gems grouped and set together in a man
ner obtainable by any one."
Living happily is an art which, like
poetry or painting, chiefly by ma
ture but which may be cultivated and
developed. 1t has been said that
"Cheerfulness is the companion OF char
ity, the nurse Of patience and the moth
er of wisdom" AS a fire gives out
warmth and light to those surrounding
it, 30 does the cheerful heart brighten
the hearts of surrounding friends. The
SORROWS Of this earth only make the joys
sweeter and true is the thought that
Gwen death itself makes life more low
ing for it brings us into a closer bond
while here on earth. s
When life passes along without any
shadows or rain, it is an accepted fact
that it will be accompanied by
cheerfulness. But when the shadows
deepen, and the heart lie loaded with
sorrows, and adversely settles as q
shfoud. then will the still cheerful heart
be its own recompense.
Eyes It's easy enough to be cheerful.
When life flows by like q song;
But the man worth while
Is the man who will smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test OF the heart is trouble,
And 1t always comes with years;
But the smile that is worth =
The praise Of earth
Is the smile that shines through tears"

lection OF a happy childhood.
Those, who amid the cares of man.
hood can look back to a youth full sun
shine, cannot be utterly Respondent or
or lose their faith in happiness. They
have pleasant memories AS a safeguard
against depression. The whole OF life
is a school. Now we say we are just
leaving, but in reality we are just enter
ing,-and that is the school OF exper-
fence. In youth, the lessons are as a
bright summers dream, in advanced
age, they are difficult to understand and
hard to learn, especially when the
teachers are trials and difficulties. But
then youthful days are the flowers
they are too bright to last.
