The Reno Gazette has the following
regarding the Mint examination:
CARSON, April 3O.--The Mint in
vestigation is dragging its weary
length along before United States
Commissioner II. j. Edwards. Il. r.
Hofer, the ex-Superintendent of tho
Mint and Chief Clerk during the
Wright administration, was on the
stand yesterday. He testified that
the spurious melt OF which so much
has been written, was of full weight
and value when he turned the Mint
over tie his successor. Mr.. Adams, and
if it had not been he is certain it
would have been so discovered. Mr..
Hofer is Cashier of the Bullion and
Exchange Bank, and stated that some
time before June, 1892, prior to which
date expert testimony shows no short
age could have existed. Jones had to
his credit in the bank something like
S21, 900, made up of checks, money
and stocks.
II. III. Beck was also called to the
witness stand, and testified as to the
bullion, etc, brought to him at the
Reno Reduction Works by Heney,
the first of which was Oh August IA,
1893. He had disposed of S12,177
worth for Heney, but the latter took
some of the bullion away with him
and personally disposed Of it.
On August %, 1893, Hency sold to
the Reno Reduction Works granulat-
ed gold, for which Mr.. Beck paid him.
just how much was involved in the
August 2Sth transaction has not been
brought out, but on that day Hency
deposited with the First National
Bank Of Reno, for which he took GER
titicates of deposit, S5,317 80, in five
different certificates, one for 81 ,317 80
and the other four for $1,000 each
The certificates of deposit all bear
date of August %, 1893. and are num-
bered consecutively 1925 26-27-2S-
%.
Mr.. Beck testified yesterday that
Hency told the deduction Works PEG
pie, that the gold came from mine
which he was operating near Silver
City, and he did not care to have the
owners of the mine know how valu-
able it was, rs they would want to
work it themselves.
Shortly after that Heney severed
his connections with the Mint, he
moved to San Francisco, where he
loaned money and led a life of com
parative ease. He also took several
mortgages on property in Washoe
and Ormsby counties from which
he clipped his interest bearing cou-
pons.
&. II. Bender, Cashier of the First
National Bank at Reno, was put upon
the stand this morning and testified
as to Hency's transactions with his
bank.
The prosecution have closed their
case, and the court has adjourned I'm
til May 10th, when the defense may
be presented.

THE STORY OF A WOMAN TO
WHOM NOISE WAS
TORTURE.
Frustrated BY the Least Excitement
Physicians Baaled b Her Case.

From the Gate City, Keokuk, Iowa.
Mrs. Helen Meyers, whose home is at3515
Vernon avenue, Chicago, and whose visit to
Keokuk, Ia, viii long be remembered; was
at one time afflicted with a nervous malady
which at times drove her nearly to distrae-
ton. ''Ts8se terrible headaches are a
thing Of the past she said the other day
to 4 Gate City representative, Aand there
IS quite a story in connection with it, too.
My nervous system sustained a great shock
some fifteen years ago, brought on; I believe.
through too much worrying ever family
matters and then allowing my love for my
books to get the better of my discretion
where my health was concerned. Why,
whenever my affairs at home cid not 60
along just as 1 expected, I would invariably
become Frustrated from the excitement and
l would consider myself fortunate indeed il
the effects OF the attack would not remain
for week. l was obliged TO give up our
pleasant home not far from the Lake shore
drive, because could not stand the noise
In that locality. / could find no place ia the
city which deemed suitable to one whose
nervous system was always on the point Of
explosion. To add TO my misfOrtunes my
complexion underwent change and looked
so yellow and sallow that I was ashamed
to venture from the house at ali
. Madam, said my doctor to me soon
after an unusually severe attack Of the
malady unless you leave the city and seek
some place Of quiet, you will never recover
So 1 concluded would visit my uncle, who
lives in Dallas county, Iowa, and whose
farm would surely be good place for one
IN my pitiable condition. l picked up the
Gate City one day and happened to come
across an interesting recital of the recovery
Of some woman in New York state who was
afflicted as l had been. This woman had
been cured by Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. l thought that if Pink Pills
cured that woman they might do the same
for me. began to take the pills according
to directions and began to feel better from
the start. After had taken several boxes
of them was ready to go back to Chicago.
My nervousness was gone and my complex
ion was as fresh as that of any 16-year-Old
girl in Iowa, and Pink Pills is what put the
color in my cheeks. No wonder / am in
such high spirits and feel like prize
fighter And no wonder like to come to
KeOkuk, for if it had not been for Pink Pills
bought from a Keokuk firm l would not
be alive now,' laughingly concluded the
lady

Green Foxtan

South Dakota bulletin No. 40: The
scientific name Of this plant is Setaria
Viridis. Stem erect, from an annual
root, usually unbranched, one and
one half to three feet high; leaves fat,
pointed, rough, flowers il spikes which
are two to FIVE inches long. green, more
or less pointed both above and below;
bustles longer than the spikelets. about
four to eight in a cluster; towering
glume longitudinally striate and
dotted. It is an introduced weedy grass
found IN the fields and waste places
When properly cut and cured it
furnishes a nutritious hay, but the
yield is much lighter than millet, and
the plant is difficult to destroy when
once well established in field. On
the whole it is not worthy OF cultiya
ton, and should be regarded as a bad
weed. 1t can usually be distinguished
from other species Of the genus by its
green, soft, bristly nodding spikes or
heads. Besides the common name
given above, this grass IS known as
hottie grass, pigeon grass, and
s'pus grass. One specimen analyzed
