NOTHING TO DIG BUT GOLD.
xyopdorfai Discoveries of the Yellow Ore
 Near Salt Lake City.

Wonderful Discoveries of the Yellow Ore
 Near Salt Lake City.
 Recent discoveries of vast goldfields at Mercur, about G5 miles south of Salt Lake City, which give every indication of making that place one of the largest and richest gold mining camps in the world. have created intense excitement For about two years only one property has been operated, and that by the Mer- cnr Gold Mining and Milling company, and in that period it has paid dividends of over 5000. 0oo It now appears that the valley for many miles in every di- rection contains ore equally as rich or richer than the Mercur company's prop erty
 Within q short period district of seven miles by three miles has been al- most entirely taken up, and fully 1, ,000 miners and prospectors are at work. Three new mills have been started up and are now operating even more profit ably than the original one. New discov- cries are being made daily, and there is great excitement. The extent of the sur face in which the ore is found appears to be practically unlimited, and the stock of numerous companies which have recently incorporated is eagerly sought for at from 50 cents to $2 share. Captain Delamar, the multimillionaire recently obtained an option to purchase the properties of the Mercur company for $1, 500, 000. The option runs until Jan. t and there Is scarcely a doubt he will take it up.-New York Tribune.

 Draw poker as q cure for insanity is being tried with great success at the Western Pennsylvania Insane asylum at Dixmont. Dr. Henry A. Hutchinson, the superintendent, speaking recently of the roo inmates under his charge, said
 We have some famous poker games there l must confess that l was afraid to permit its being played at first, fear ing the effect on some of the patients. But instead of being injurious the game has turned out to be perfect godsend to us.
 It is the very thing we want, and am satisfied the end justifies the means. It seems to have a quieting effect on the most boisterous patients, who play with the skillof q Mississippi river planter

Church Organ on a Rampage.

The grand organ in St. Paul's Protes- tant church ill Railway, N. J., brought the services to an abrupt close Sunday morning. The choir had begun to sing the gloria, when something happened to the organ, and every pipe began to sound. It was several minutes before the supply air could be shut off and the noise ceased. The pastor, the Rev. R. r. Cobb, attempted to dismiss the con gregation during the noise, but his words eonld not be heard, and the peo- pie left the church, to save their ear drums.

THE JOKE TURNED.
A Kangaroo Trial That Was Cheated Of
Anticipated Fun, Though II Was
Quite Interesting.

There was an interesting trial at
Judge Gibbons office last night,
though it was not near so interest
ing as it might have been. y GER
tain young German had been ar
rested by Night Watchman Martin
and Officers Pulliam and Lilly, on
the charge of Illegally and immoral
" abiding with one Gipsie Brown,
an inmate of Laura Wagner's bagniO,
and sham trial was arranged. Ed
Roberts presided as Judge, Hon. G..
B. Kendrick prosecuted and Attor-
neys Mcclure and Hardy were ap-
pointed to defend. Up to noon yes
terday the prospects for several
barrels of fun were quite promising,
but by some means the young man
got on to the racket. He determin-
ed not to spoil a good thing, how
ever, and permitted the trial to pro-
ceed with the result that the Joke
was virtually turned on the instiga-
tors of it.
\ Jury was empaneled, and wit
nesses examined in res liar form,
and though the affair proved quite
tame, the attorneys proceeded, il
seemed, on the theory, "Crede quod
habes, ct habes."
The fact was demonstrated by a
preponderance of testimony that the
young man had been going to see the
woman ad libitum, and Joe Lilly tes
titled that he had seen him alb extra,
Despite the development of these
facts, the defendant seemed mucj
amused, and to regard his visits
there as one of the "engenda" nee
essary to his health. 1t was alsC
shown that her relations toward hin
were that of "chere amie," and h
looked upon her as "bijou." Still
the young man seemed to enjoy th'
trial with "bonhOmie," and hi
every expression seemed to say
Esto perpetual" His guilt was mo-
only established by other evidence
but "ipse dixit," and the jury re
turnee a verdict of guilty. Tn
court suspended sentence during
good behavior of defendant and hi
promise not to make his visits t
and relations with the object of hi
affections SO public in the future.

There are only three days left in
which to represent yourself in the

The success OF this extraordinary
undertaking is assured. in fact the
ARDMoREITE does not know such a
word as fail when IL starts 10 work
to accomplish n purpose. While
there are many OF our larger con-
Germs and institutions that so far are
not included among our patrons,
still we have secured enough con-
tracts TO make the eighth anniver-
sary Of the city Of Ardmore q men,
orable occasion, not only here In our
immediate midst, but I'm every state
in the union. In one feature alone
Is Il lacking. Unless they yet avail
themselves OF tho opportunity there
win not be a bank included among

greet this rather discreditable show

ton gotten up designed especially

her citizens. The amount We would
receive from this patronage Is not a
factor In our earnestness I'm this par

announcement for the purpose OF
upbraiding any one FOR non-patron-
age, but we do make IL in what we
believe 10 be the direct interest Of
the city as a whole, thing in which
we are all from least to greatest the
beneficiaries. Other towns all
around Us have seen good in special
editions, and have reaped vast bene-
fits from them, why not Ardmore9
We cannot-refrain from again urg-
ing a FUN representation for the
reasons assigned. Never in the his
tory Of Ardmore has there been a
more opportune time for n grand
showing of her substantial qualities.
We have just passed through a
fiery ordeal that has demonstrated
that where there is a viii there Is n
way. Attention national in It's scope
has been attracted riPening the har-
vest for rich rewards. A combined
pull now, giving one grand showing
OF our prosperity will do more to
