closed was tight.

more trouble in that direction.
The next cold snap the same old gale of
wind appeared. When my doctor came in,
spoke to him in regard to it, when he
informed me that it was not the cold air
from outside that 1 felt, but the warm air

window, struck the cold glass, cooled and

told me that the same trouble existed in
most houses, even those that were well
heated in the halls and bedrooms, the heat
going to the top, cooling and falling back,
SO that one coming from a warm room
down stairs and going up would often
think that there must be windows open

remedy this cooling off process in the
rooms, but with the curtains down a little

light your lamps or the gas you draw
down the shades, and the heat does not

Hold YourseH Straight.

The Infanta Eulalie has uttered a great
truth. She said: People meeting me cas-
ually sometimes fancy am proud can
only imagine it must be because am SO
erect. Now, my sister sometimes laugh
lngly complains that no one minds her. I
always say, Then hold yourself straight. +"
And therein lies the secret of power. An
erect carriage and a haughtily held head
avail more in commanding obedience than
ancient lineage and large rent rolls

REMEMBERs HIS MOTHER NOW.
John Delaney Engages in Business ans
Gets into Trouble.

Gets into Trouble.
John Delany, a 1s-year-old boy, sits
on a cot in one OF the cells Of the city
prison and wipes hot tears from his
eyes when he talks of his parents and
the old home in Atchison.
John had an ambition to go out into
the world and make his fortune. and
turn the earth up side down generally
and when his mother told him or the
dangers of evil associations John
thought he was behind the times
John Delany has changed his mind
now, and he thinks the boy who lis
tens to the advice of his parents IS
more likely to avoid the pitfalls that
are concealed In the pathway OF mex
perfenced youth, and gladly would this
prdigal son return TO the home OF his
parents He would not stop to inquire
whether a fatted calf or pig or jack
rabbit would be killed. He would just
go anyhow and take chances.
Several weeks ago John Delany came
to Wichita TO engage IN business on his
own account. He left home without
consent of his parents and intended 10
notify them of his whereabouts when
his fortune was made. When he came
here he opened a commission house.
His Office was on the street and prtty
much wherever John could find con-
venient place. and sometimes this
compelled John to have some pretty
scaley Office associates.
Tony Reed got a lot OF fancy soap
from a Chicago house to introduce
here and he thought John Delany
seemed TO be a pretty bright boy and
he let him take some of the soap TO sell
on commission.
Trade was fairly good and Tony
Reed had no cause to complain or the
Delany commission house. Sales were
easily made and price OF the soap less
commissions was regularly returned
This was too slow for John Delany.
He was not making money fast enough
He WOULD never make a fortune at
that rate Hence. he considered the
idea OF making money faster And In
pursuance OF this idea he went up 10
Tony Reeds place and took two dozen
boxes of fancy soap and slipped II on
il OF down to Winfield and opened oiisi
ness on his own hook
This brought better returns than the
commission business and Mr.. Delany 5
WINFIELD business was fairly prosper
Gus until yesterday when Chief Mas
sew syyooped down on the Winfield
house OF John Delany and the business
was brought 10 a standstill and John
Delauy viii have to answer TO Judge
Hatton for stealing two dozen boxes ~
fancy soap. And now John thinks
there is no place like home. and he has
more confidence in his parents advice.

The Z. ana Z Gang

The c. and c. gang, Of Virginia
City, has been getting in its work
again this week. Last Tuesday
afternoon an old lady named Suth-
erland, who resides in Virginia was
assaulted by two of the gang in her
house. She fought them off until
her cries frightened the assailants
and they ran away after taking what
little money the old lady had
The same day two of the gang
visited Steamboat Springs and came
near capturing the hotel there.
They were driven away by the
combined force of the attaches of the
place. The same pair held up
rancher near the Springs and took
revolver and other valuables from
him. When they get to Reno con-
venient place to drop them off would
be the iron bridge across the Truckee.

Senator Boyle took four men up
to Como this week Tuesday to be-
gin work on the Como tunnel to tap
the North Rapidan mine. Col.
Boyle says work will continue I'M
til the tunnel is completed. The
tunnel will be something over 900
feet in length and will drain con
siderable area of ground and allow
work to be done at a considerable
depth below where the ground has
been worked before. The mines are
promising in that district, and when
the ground is drained will no doubt
pay well for the expense of pros
pecting.

Hughes Released.

Last Tuesday ]. c. Hughes made
good the amount of money he was
short with w. F. & Co. and the
Railroad Company, and was releas-
ed from custody. Hughes father
has written that he will pay the
sum, and the amount-$140-was
raised here and handed over.
Hughes is now waiting for the re-
mittance from home. How the re-
port came into circulation that the
shortage was $500 or 5000 is not
known, but it was a grave mis-
statement. With all that has been
written and telegraphed about the
country, the facts are simply that
Hughes got on hilarious old jag,
did not realize exactly what he was
doing and found that he had used
some company money. He might
have taken $40 more if he had been
a common thief, but all he thought
of at the time was to get to place
where he knew he had friends and
could get money to square up.

A DisobIiging Prisoner.

Somebody told the following yarn
on the Silver City Justice of the
Peace: He had prisoner up for
trial and there was nobody present
to prosecute him. He proceeded to
question the prisoner himself con-
corning the charge, and the prisoner
declined to answer, saying that he
did not intend to prosecute himself.
Then he found the prisoner guilty
of contempt and sent him to Jail
for "a hours. Chronicle.

pay certain proportion Of the
salaries of the Treasurers and Re-

Not a Word.

Do the city papers say anything
in regard to your locality? Do
they contain notices Of your schools,
Improvements, churches and hum
dreds of matters of interest which
your home papers publish? Not a
line, not an item of any description
which pertains to such matters.
Do they say a word calculated to
draw attention to your enterprise?
Not line. The moral is good and
your home paper can be had by
calling, writing line and paying
for the same at this office.
