For GOOd-Edward Breenan
A~diudged

Deadwood Independent: Hon. J. II.
Walters, deputy United States marshal,
ETC., ETC., ETC., came home on the Burl.
lngton train yesterday and going to a
room in the Syndicate block where his
wife was supposed to be, found the door
locked. His wife opened the door and q
gentleman who follows the occupation
OF q slfes l6R q conductor on the Elk
horn ~ 81 was found IN the room.
Waltns snsseems vas not equal to the
occasion and Immediately sought the
aid OF the police to s%traighten out his
domestic affairs. Marshal Dlltz went
up and Mrs. Walters gave the following
explanation. She says room is IN a
certain sense a public one, where people
come to talk about any matters CON
nected with the rooms, which Mrs. Wal
ters is taking care OF in the absence of
Mrs. Bows; that the gentleman in ques-
ton came into the room and was talk
ing with her. when q gust of wind from
an open window blew the open door shut
and the catch Of the spring lock must
have fallen down. She says she did not
know the door was locked until her hus-
band knocked, when she immediately
opened the door.
This explanation is entirely reason
able and probable, but it did not seem
to fully explain, in. the opinion of Mr..
Walters and he Immediately sought
consolation u the flowing bowl. BY
four O'Clock he had imbibed SO much of
the spirit Of John Barleycorn that he
concluded the proper thing to do would
be to send Mr.. Conductor to the happy
hunting grounds. He accordingly
armed himself with a good supply of ar
tillery and sought the supposed des-
troyer of domestic affections at the
depot when the train was about to de-
part. Calling the conductor out, he
drew his 'weepon" with the words
damn you. I'm going to kill you.''
Marshal Dlltz, who had kept an eye on
Walters, was at his elbow, took the gun
from HIM and put HIM under arrest.
Walters at first resisted and threatened
to arrest DiitZ with the words, "Damn
you, I'll teach you to arrest an officer
higher than you are" He was finally
taken to his room where he could sober
off and realize what an ass he had made
Of himself.

FACTS ABOUT COINS.

The rel of Brazil. like the mill of our
own money table, is an imaginary coin,
no piece of that denomination being
coined. Ten thousand refs equal $5.45.
Vermont was the first State to issue
a coinage on it's own authority. Copper
coins were issued in 1875.
The first woman face represented on
a coin was that Pulehera, the Empress
of the Eastern Empire.
The Chinese stamp bars or ingots of
gold or silver with their weight and fine
ness, and pass them from hand to hand
as coin. .
The first Maryland coins were minted
in 1862. and were put in circulation by
act of Council ordering every house
holder to bring sixty pounds of tobacco
and receive ten shilling of the new money
In exchange for it.
In 1884 the Massachusetts General
Assembly made bullion a legal tender
by the following enactment: 1T is like
wise ordered that muskett bullets Of a
full boare shall pass currently for a far
thing apiece. Provided tina noe man
be compelled to take above Kid att

There was a gentleman among the CAP

not only decorated, but personally thank
ed and complimented by the Emperor
for service rendered him during the late
wal with Japan.
The recipient of his distinction is
Captain Henry Weber whohseyeral years

ship Z~ealandia. Shortly after HOSTILE
ties broke out between Japan and China
Mandel & Co., a w~el1-known English
shipping firm, contracted with the Chi
nese Government to land stores, arms
and ammunition at various ports Where
most needed. It was a dangerous un-
dertaking and the success OF the venture
depended almost entirely upon the aD1l-
ity of the shippers to secure a skipper
who was sufficiently acquainted with the
Chinese coast and still had the daring
to invite a shot or shell from the jap
anese cruisers, which were constantly on
the lookout for blockade
and was a wise choice. for during the
war he repeatedly ran through the nos
tile lines and succeeded IN land1ng guns,
ammunition and frequently troops with
out once being overhauled, although Of
tentimes chased over the sea- For his
success in his daring business Captain
Weber was publicly honored by the En-
peror, to say nothing of being taken care
of generously from a point OF
view.
dWhile I admit that I took grave risks
in the service of the Chinese, there was
a fascination about the business when
was really irresistible" said the Captain
when seen last evening. He is a pleas

be boastful about his achievements. u

A SUMMER LIBRARY.
How to Furnish One Room in Taste
and Lille EXPENSE.

IA
1t is not a large room. the library of
the summer cottage. Why should it be,
when books are in the running brooks,
and the running brooks near by?
But what it lacks in size it makes up
in it's ~daintiness and in the care with
which it's belongings are chosen.
The floor of the little room is covered
with old blue denim, neatly stretched.
The walls are covered with gray-blue
cartridge paper and are closely hung
above the bookcase with pictures. There
are poets, essayists,f novelists and hum
orists by the score. There are the places
where these benefactors of mankind
lived and worked. An expensive collec-
ton? Not at all. It is merely the col
lection of a magazine reader who has
religiously cut out the engravings OF
her favorites and their haunts, had than
mounted in pairs or trios or singly and
framed in the simple passe-partout style.
Here and there are medallions-sad-vis-
saged Dante, benificient Shakespeare
and others. Those she purchased for
a quarter apiece at an art students sup
ply store. They are plaster of Paris, but
so are the Minerva. above the desk in
the corner, and Venus and Milo, on the
mantel shelf.
The rows of book-shelves are built
from the floor to a height of about four
feet on both sides of the fireplace.
Built is scarcely the proper word, for
they consist of neatly fitted and painted
soap boxes resting on their sides. A
brass rod about the top supports a lit
tie curtain of old blue silkoline, with
brown pine cones meandering over it.
The top of the bookcase is gay with a
BOWL of wild flowers, some blue china, a
photograph or two in a silver frame;
In the center of the room a broad
kitchen table conceals its ignoble origin
There are magazines piled high on the
table. the inevitable bow of flowers and
a reading lamp with a blue shade that
casts a restful light over the readers
shoulder. Two comfortable steamer
chairs are drawn up on either side Ct

cushions in every Imaginable shade OF

in the corner is a desk-a $3.50 desk
stacked with all the accessories OF po-
