She stopped. partially turned. her
face bearing Il look of startled surprise,
and then she quietly stepped towards
us. She could not see for an instant,
but as her eyes became more accus-
toned to the darkness she recognized
the frail, delicate form and pallid
features of him for whom she had
pinned. and with a cry of heartrending
anguish she flung herself upon the bed,
saying piteously:
"Oh. Jack. forgive me: Father would
not let me see you. Oh, forgive me, 1
love you- l love you"
Upon returning two hours later I
found my patient slumbering as peace

was overcast with a smile of ineffable
happiness, and the muscles of his body
were in Il perfectly normal condition,
as though pain was a thing ~unfelt.

Mr.. Temples case. He began re-

although he had a long siege. still, the
strong constitution, together with a
recently-strengthened will, had a re-

later Mr.. Temple, supported on either
side by DR.. Stanley and the physicians
daughter. left the hospital a man with
a long and happy life before him.
AS for the crime he was accused of,
he was proven guiltless by his rascally
partner writing a confession of his own
dishonesty and fleeing the country, to
be heard of no more.

SALTWATER SOCIAL CLUB.

On the evening OF Washington's birth
day the Saltwater Social Club met at
their rooms in the Court House to while
away a few hours. The members came in
vehicles OF all kinds and sizes and from
miles around. Messers Higgins and
Williams furnished the music for the
dancers who INDUCED in that pastime
until nearly daylight with Will Sanford
as prompter. The people who did not
dance found entertainment in whist,
high-five, exc.
The basket supper was elegant and
there were delicacies to suit all kinds of
palates. Wallace Ferguson made the COT
fee and a reputation that will give him
the coffee-job on all future occasions. The
programme of dances was highly salts
factory and everything was in accord to
to make a most delightful meeting and
one to be remembered.

Improvements.

Brooks Mechanics spirit of improve
ment moves him with the coming Of
every Spring to further beautify his
home. 1t is a pretty place already and
his extensive domain is being refenced
in a very neat way. A driveway OF
gravel leading from front to rear helps
appearances wonderfully and gives tone
to the view from the street. Last Spring
Mr. McClane planted a variety of choice
trees and shrubs and his home has all
the conveniences of modern times.
Such citizens make a lively community
and make surroundings pleasant to the
sight. 1t is the science of living that
makes this world beautiful or other
wise.
The Mcpherson property OF Main
street in which the post Office and drug
store are located is being improved by
making the front flush and square.

GOOD MINING. NEWS.

From the best authority the DIspATcH
learns that active operations will be re-
sumed in the Jim Blaine mine on or
about the first of March. The time on
the original bond has been extended and
the papers approved.
By the first of April a mill of from Is
TO 20 tons capacity will be completed
and in working order on the Jim Blaine
property. The Company will begin put
ting in the plant in q week or two and it
la the present intention to locate it in the
canyon. A t~restle, tramway or shute
will convey the ore from the mine to the
mill very economically.
This new movement will furnish en-
ployment for seven or eight men and i n
a great many ways help Wadsworth as
well as White Horse district. We hope
the owners of the Jim Blaine will strike
a bonanza and in our humble opinion
they have every opportunity in the
world to do 80. A good showing by q
mill will assure a bright future for the
camp. Encouraging reports continue to
come in.

THE STEAL.

Substitute for A. b. No. 8l-ro read
just the boundaries of Washoe, Ormsby
and Lyon counties anne up ON special
order at 2 O'Clock Saturday.
McNaughton offered to amend by the
addition of Section NJ. 6-ro restore to
Esmeralda county that portion OF her
territory that was taken from her in 1881
and added to Lyon county. This was
his amendment proposed just before the
adjournment last Thursday.
Newman moved that Section 3 OF the
substitute be stricken out. This motion
carried on roll call by a vote OF the con-
test, and the bill as it now stands only
interests directly Ormsby, Washoe and
Storey counties.
Noel moved that substitute for A. b.
No. 81, as amended, be ordered engross-
ed. Carried and so ordered.
On the question OF having the substi-
tute for 81 printed the Reno Gazette's
correspondent says: Beck, however,
got the floor where he made the speech
OF his lifetime, and the best ever deliver
ed before a legislative body in the State
OF Nevada. lie said he did no know
from the reading of the substitute what
territory was included in it's provisions;
nor did lie believe that a single member
OF the House would know what he was
voting upon if The vote should be taken
at the present time, and it would be an
additional outrage if this nefarious
scheme should BIZ railroaded through in
this most shameless and indecent man
ner. He spoke feelingly and forcibly
Of the cruelty to the people of Wads-
worth and other sections whom it was
proposed TO legislate into Storey anG
Lyon counties against their unanimous
wish to remain III Mashoe county, and
that toe without even permitting their
protest to be heard by their prosecutors
in this body.
AS can be- seen from the foregoing the
section OF the steal applying to Wads-
worth has been withdrawn, however the
people Of Wadsworth in common with
the people of other communities regard
the amended measure in much the same
light as the original. Further attempts
to carry on the pillage will mark the
promoters for political death in this
State.
Such sectional legislation at this period
would be a stain on State history. The
whip is used on a few seris but its use
on Americans for following the footsteps
of Washington and the teachings of the
immortal Declaration of Independence
will never be tolerated by a liberty-lov-
ing people. Continue the dirty work
and you will prove a stencil in the Eos-
trils of men who know the motives
which lead you. The eyes of the State
are upon you; your action is commend
ed by none.
