Why q German Barkeeper and His
Irfsh Customer Are Strangers Now.
| From the New York World
There is a certain German barkeeper up
town who is nursing a vigorous wrath and
a particularly knotty blackthorn, because OF
an unknown person with an Irish accent
and an engaging address.
One night the stranger stepped I'D to the
bar and asked for a quart OF gin in a black
bottle which he placed on the bar The
barkeeper filled the bottle. and the man
walked toward the door.
"Here!' yelled the barkeeper you give
me no moneys for dot chinr
"Ah. mark It down on the slate, will yer?'
1--WE heff no slet; you give me back dot
chin or give me my money"
mot cent, not a cent; take back your
stuff If you won't hang it up"
So the man handed back the bottle to the
barkeeper, who poured the contents of the
bottle into the cask.
A week later, almost at the same hour,
the door blew in again: Hey. Dutch. give
US quart O. gin, will yer?" The unsus-
pecting barkeeper poured the liquor into
the bottle, handed it over the bar, and, as
before. the man took the bottle and started
Here. you. give me my moneys or my
chin. What you do. hey? Film fem me?
Give me dot chinv
"Ah, mark 1t down on the slate"
We don't kip no slet-give me dot chinv'
"Ol right. Take your dommed old gin
and be cussed wild yeri"
The bottle was handed back across the
bar. and the man again disappeared into the
night. Again the liquor trickled down into
-Four more times, on as many nights, the
same incident was enacted Then the har-
keeper became suspicious

man appeared again. with:

Let us look at some of dot money, helm -
The man showed neat roll of bills and
the barkeeper filled the bottle and handed
It across the bar.
Say, Dutchy. Just mark that on the slate
will yer?''
Here. you. yust give me beck der cksn,
Vat you want, hey? Once again the BONE
passed back into the barkeepers possession.
and again the man went away. But this
time the bottle was not emptied into the
cask
Raising the bottle to his lips. the bar
keeper tasted its contents. Then he smash
thick with his invectives. policeman,
hearing the noise, poked his head inside the
door and saw a raving barkeeper who was
saving:
his fess! Where he is?''
And then 1t was all explained The man
with the Irish accent and the engaging per-
sonality had come each time with two bot
ties. One was empty, the other fun of
water. When he turned to the side door he
dexterously changed the bottle of gin for the
bottle of water and gave the latter to the
barkeeper instead. Six times he practiced
the deception successfully. but IL he ever

the Internationa Typographical Union
and Re~presnlatile Blair Of n. H. The
committee has taken no formal action.
but tie impression exists hal a major
ity OF It's members afe opposed to the
idea embraced in these bills.
The first Congressional pay day
since it wal decided to enforce the old
law compelling a member to certify
the number Of days he was absent
during the month passed and provid-
ing that he shall be locked for every
day of absence without leave aud not
caused by sickness, demonstrated sav-
eral things. First, and probably most
important, that there are members
Of the House who deliberately reported
themselves present when they were
not and did not stay away on account
Of sickness, in order to escape having
their pay locked; second, that the
law is very unpopular with members
whose absentecism has been marked,
and third, that an attempt is to be
made to show that the law is no longer
in force.
The report of the subcommittee Of
the House Judiciary committee thai
investigated the notorious strike or
ders issued by Judge jenkins is II
curious document and reflects no
great credit upon those who signed.
it. After saying that the orders were
"a gross abuse of the power of the
court; were supported by neither
reason or authority were beyond the
jurisdiction of the judge, and were
therefore void" it n%aively adds that
the judge is exonerated from any
corrupt intention. If the quotation
above is correct the judge deserves
impeachment either for corruptness
or for incompetency. The report
reads like an attempt to straddle; to
please the labor organizations by de-
nouncing the strike orders, and the
friends of the judge by generating
him.

Good Business Opportunity.

On account of .r'ous matters in
which he is interested manding so
much of his attention r. H. Cowles
finds that he cannot devote the proper
amount of time to his grocery business
at Wadsworth and hereby announces
that he will sell for cash in hand, the
building at Wadsworth in which is
located his general merchandise store,
the lot on which it stands, a large fire
proof cellar, the stock of goods on hand,
the good will, etc, etc. The goods are
all fresh, nothing shop worm. The bus
mess is a prosperous one and the only
reason for selling is to enable Mr.. Cowles
to give all OF his time to other industries
in which he is engaged. Wadsworth is
the best business town in Nevada today
and this opening offers a splendid OPP
portunity for some good man to locate
in Wadsworth. Call on R. II. Cowles
at the store.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

Well, Coxey's army has been in
Washington a week. They are camp
ed in a spot that physicians declare to
be dangerous to health and life, and
from which Coxey has removed his
horses, but none of the five hundred
old men have died, although some Of
them have had to he sent to the
hospital. The receipts from admissions
to the camp-twenty-five cents is
charged-and from individual con-
tributions have so far been sufficient
to feed the men, but as both have
begun to fall off and the number of
men in camp is constantly increasing
this condition Of affairs may not last
much longer. Large accessions to the
army are expected this week. There
has not been the slightest disturbance
between the police and the army
since the arrest of Coxey, Browne and
Jones, for attempting to speak On the
Capitol steps. Coxey still insists that
his army is going to remain here until
Congress passes his good roads bill.
The democrats promise that all of
the proposed amendments to the
tariff bill shall be made public this
week, and claim that they have forty
three votes-a majority-pledged to
the amended bill, but this claim is
disputed, as it is now said the Louisi-
ana Senators will be compelled by the
legislature that meets on the 10Th inst,
to make their choice between refusing
to vote for the tariff bill, unless a duty
Of two cents a pound is put upon SUI
gar, or of being supplanted by two
men who will do as required. Both
of these Senators were appointed by
the Governor to fill unexpired terms;
both wish to succeed themselves, and
the legislature will decide. 1t is
another uncertainty added to those
already existing.
The House committee on Railways
and Canals, was 80 favorably impress
ed with the project of building a
canal between the Ohio river and
Lake Erie that it ordered a favorable
report on the bill appropriating $lO,-
600 for a preliminary survey Of the
proposed route. Erie, N. Y. and
Pittsburg, Pa, are to be the terminals
of the canal.
1t doesn't take much to make a
Senator or Representative laugh,
particularly when Congress is in
session. Therefore when DIR. McCand-
less, of Pittsburg, sent to Senator
Quay, 10y a page, a neatly bound book
bearing in big gold letters the title
"What Congress Has Done, no one
who saw the transaction was surprised
to see MI. Quay laugh, and who in
turn sent the book to Senator PETER.
The book kept on until it had made
the round Of the Senate chamber and
everybody had laughed at it, yet it
contained no printed joke; in fact it
contained nothing, except blank lea
yes, thus showing that its title was
aptly chosen.
The House committee on Postofices
and Post roads has heard arguments
in favor of the bills now before that
committee, poviding for the govern
ment ownership and control Of all tel

man of the International Typograph-

II. l., and relict of George w. Smith.
was born February 25th, 1928, and died
October 9th. 1894, in the 9th year of

ing in Phoenix and Providence, they
removed to Davenport, Iowa, thence to
Cheyenne, Wyoming, and lastly to Cus.
ter City in 1880, where the remainder OF
their lives were spent. Five children

married to c. +. Putnam, Of Cheyenne,
Wyoming; Bertha, wife of Mr.. Charles
Miller, Of Custer City and Earnest H.,
a resident Of this vicinity. with whom
the mother lived during the later years
Of her life. Being a paralytic for eleven
years, Mrs. Smith was a great sufferer
and a great charge, but her for,itude
with Gods grace, met the first with
daily heroism, and the responsible du.
ties of the second were performed with
such a constant and tender affection.
that it received. as it richly deserved
the warmest praises Of the whole com

The deceased was a Quakeress By

A Pleasing Entertainments

One of the most pleasing entertain
ments it has been our good fortune TO
attend was witnessed by n large and
a~ppreciative audience at the court house
in this city on Tuesday evening. The
exercises were Evolutionary and musical,
and of such an exceptional standard of
excellence, as to afford the highest de-
gree of satisfaction to all present, as un.
mlstakably indicated by the measure of
applause which marked the climax of
every feature Of the performance
OF Mrs. Maxson. nothing could be
said through the medium OF our humble
faber, that could add to her high repu-
tation as an e~locutionist, fairly won in
former years in the cities Of the east,
where her name was the synonym of
Evolutionary excellence. 1t is enough
for us 10 say that, her matchless rendi.
ton of "Hiawatha," and other roles pre-.
sented, marks her as the peer of the
leading elo~cntionists of the day, whose
regulations are world wide, and that
even a larger audience than the one she
appeared before upon this occasion, will
be pleased to greet her at any future
time she may consent to duplicate her
performance in this city.
The musical part Of the entertainment
consisted Of vocal solos and duets by
local talent. embracing a number of the
best singers in the Black Hills, all OF
which, as it always is, was greatly en-.
joyed. Much credit is due to Mrs. w
q. Porter, under whose able supervision
the entertainment was planned and con.
Quoted, for the marked success of the
performance in all its features, not ex.
cepting the lighting of the hall. in which
important respect all former efforts were
manifestly surpassed.

p. ID. Darby. of Fairburn, the republic
can candidate for register Of deeds, who
spent two or three days in the city dur
ing the week, forming new acquaint.
ances, and exchanging friendly greetings
with his numerous friends, departed for
home yesterday with greatly increased
confidence in his success in the political
contest in which he is engaged. Mr..
Darby is a gentleman whose genial
qualities make it a pleasure for any one
to meet. His reputation for honesty,
sobriety and business qualifications is
well established by the fact Of his hav.
ing been retained for twelve years in
the employ Of the G. & n. w. Railroad
company as agent and operator. during
the last four years of which time no
bond for tie faithful performance of his
duties has been required of him. a fact
which at once establishes his reputation
for answering integrity. Nj. Darby is
q married man, noted for his exemplary
habits, a thorough accountant, genial
and approachable in his manner, and
especially notable for his accommodate
ing disposition. In short, it may be
truthfully said that he possesses in an
eminent degree, the qualifications re-
CURED to enable him to perform the
duties Of the position he seeks with ere
dit to himself and satisfaction to the
people Of the county at large. His cleo
ton may be deemed fairly assured.
