the Mint Shortage Case.

The jury in the Mint shortage caso
failed to find a verdict. Some OF the
Jurors, il seems, do not believe there
is a shortage. and II there is, that 1t
was caused by acids carrying the gold
in solution through the mint sewer.
Though the fact that $23 5000 in gold.
similar to the refined gold at the mint,
and finer than any ever produced in
natures labratory, was brought to the
Reno reduction works, was not dis
proved, il was not shown to the entire
satisfaction Of some Of the jurors that
il was taken from the mint. When the
shortage was first discovered the ef-
forts Of the prosecution were directed
toward saddling the responsibility on
the present administration. The dis
covery that the 1923 900 melted at the
Reno reduction works was brought
there while the former administration
was in power caused the prosecution
to abandon that theory and 1t was
adopted by the defense and the result
was a disagreement of the jury.-Reno
Journal.

There is some talk Of enforcing the
rule OF the House prohibiting smoking
during the sessions OF that body. For
many Congresses past some of the
members have complained Of the in
fringement OF this rule, but q majority
we're in favor Of the smoking. Some
days the atmosphere in the House is
sitting. No less than $50 members
are often smoking at once, and the
dense volume OF cigar smoke renders
the air ~nauseating to some Congress-
men. All Of the members who smoke,
with the exception of one, use cigars.

for an hour at a time filling the air

smoking, but he never dares to VEN

me mea..., person ,n the world

The Meaness Person In the world
The Salt Lake Tribune truthfully
says: The meanest person in the world,
either man OF woman, is the sneak,
except ONE other person who is a
bigger sneak. The man or woman
who will smile up into the face Of an
other with the smile OF friendship, and
who, with soft words, will express So
licitude for the health and prosperity
Of the person addressed, and with soft
compliments will express the hope
that the fortune OF the other may be
enhanced and who when behind the
PERSONS back will by whispers, innu-
endoes, and where possible, by open
words try to break down the reputs-
ton Of that person, to cast doubts upon
that PERSONS sincerity, and try by the
means of the sneak to weaken the re-
spect Of others for that person and to
cause others to doubt the friendship Of
that person, such an individual in a
community is a mischief maker and is
worthy Of contempt, only, Of decent
people. Every community has or
two or a dozen of this class; and the
best advice that can be given a young
man or a young woman when he or
she starts out into the world, is to tell
them of the characteristics OF the gen.
uine sneak and to warn them to avoid
them so soon as they find them out.

A commander in the United States
navy says that the heaviest drain on
the of the officers comes from
social obligations, especially in foreign
ports. They are invited to dine with
a king, a prince. a governor, and as a
representative of this nation they have
to go. Then in return they must in
vite the potentate to dinner with them.
They must decorate the ship brilliantly
and provide a sumptuous" spread" not
only for the king, but for as many min
listers and hangers on as he may choose
to bring with him, and every time this
is done each officer must go down in
his pocket for $25 or more.-San Fran

HIenex,s SECOND Trial.

Judge Hawley has notified the at
torneys in the Heney case that the
case must be tried until the jury brings
in a verdict OF acquittal or conviction,
says the Carson Appeal. This an
nouncement was something Of a sur
prise to the defendants attorneys, who
were getting ready for the Jones case.
This move on the part of the prosecu-
ton will make some difference in the
plans Of the defense, but they will
probably align themselves with the
changed conditions. Many people are

ment in the trials will amount to much
than the shortage, but in cases

William Dean Howell's father, who
emigrated to Ohio half a century OF
more ago, used this formula to get rid
Of an intrusive visitor who had worn
out his welcome:
He would be called out on some
business, and would say to the guest
"I suppose you will not be here when
l return, so l wish you good-by."
This was not bad, except in compar-
ison with the superb stratagem ascribed
to Gerrit Smith in such emergencies
as hal he used to say in his family

mrs. Ida Page OF DeLamar, Nevada,
n Victim.


the Victim.
We copy the following from the Salt
Lake Tribune OF November 2Sth:
Mrs. Page died yesterday, and her
body was placed in the Coroner's
hands. To the story OF her misfortune
and the crime that led to her sad end,
which vas told in yesterdays Tribune,
there is little to add. Her life ebbed
away slowly during the night. She
made no complaint, but when her ply
stefan warned her that in another mo-
ment her end would come she stretched
out her pale and shrunken hand that
was pressed TO the lips Of two anguished
babes, and the struggle was over.
While these scenes were being en-
acted at the deathbed, the authorities
we're working for material with which
to reach the author OF the mothers
death. The husband had agreed the
previous night TO yes to a complaint
against DIR. Darlington, but yesterday
he refused TO sign the affidavit. His
only excuse was that the scandal had
been published without his approval.
And so it was that Page refused to pro-
coed against the man whom his wife
and the mother of his babies had sim
gled out as the perpetrator Of the crime
Tor which she laid down her life.
Only by the most persistent exercise
Of her strong will power vas she able
10 tell her tale Of mortal anguish. At
times her voice sank to a low whisper,
then died on her lips, at whose motion
the sound failed TO issue. When at
last a brief statement had been pro-
cured, the dying woman was tenderly
raised to enable her to afix her sigma
ture to the document, but the pancil
dropped from her nerveless fingers.
The limit of natures submission to
mind had been reached. Her ante
norton statement vas read to Mrs.
Page, and she orally declared 1t to be
true and correct, which fulflls all the
requirements OF the law.
The statement briefly is that Mrs.
Page on October 9th went to Brigham
| City, where a criminal operation was
performed on her by DIR. ]. B. Caring
ton. On October 10Th she returned to
Brigham City, when the original oper-
alton was repeated by DR.. Darlington.
From this time she grew steadily
weaker and weaker.
At latest accounts DR.. Darlington
| could not be found.

Largest sheep and Dog owner I'm
The World.

The American Sheep Breeder says:
The greatest dog owner in the world
is Gustav Ivanovitch, the sheep king
Of the Russian steppes. This great
ranchman owns 100000 sheep, for
the protection of which he employs no
less than 8 5000 shepherd dogs of va
rious breeds, or a dog to 421a sheep.
As that region warms with wolves, it
is probable that many Of these dogs
are wolf hounds, kept for the purpose
of clearing the range Of these destruc-
tive pests. Certain it is that Ivano-
witch is dog and sheep king of the
world. An American ranchman who
kept a dog for every 42La sheep on his
range could hardly afford to grow free
wool.
