Several ladies and gentlemen of this
city have received circular letters stat
ing that certain medical institute of
Kaneville, Ills, has undertaken the
treatment of an invalid young lady,
providing she shall collect a million
postage stamps. The writer claims to
be aiding the young lady and asks, in
the circular, that the recipient shall
send 10 or more Cancelled stamps, to-
gether with the names of three other
persons, who will be asked to do the
same. The three would thus send in
the names of nine, and nine would
send in the names of q, and so on up
to the Goth power, where the chain is
is supposed to end, each series of let
tiers being numbered in rotation. The
average man II woman would,
whether acceding to the request o. not.
give the matter little attention, but a
few OF the more penetrating kind are
figuring out where the scheme would
lead to if fully carried out, and the fig
ures are astounding. Here is the way
one gentleman has figured it out. The
whole number of the series No. 30 alone
would be 1880, go, 415, 81, 154 500, 748.
The grand total of the chain complete
would be !, l06.260, $40 623 $40, 731. 764, 219.
The postage would cost $50, 125, 216,9l2 :
459,514, 635, 1928. The whole number
of stamps sent would aggregate Il ,O62.-
608. 456, 289, 757 ,317 ,642, 100 To count
these stamps at the rate of 60 per
minute, the time requited would be
:, l04, T06, 555, Col, IL, 483 years. The can
celed stamps would cover ], T63,628, 784,
O8l ,030, 157 acres, and if laid side by side
would reach 1855 OBJ, 454 ,873, O63. 725

There is no question in the minds of
the people that Sherman county, with
irrigation, in few years will find her
self one Of the foremost agricultural
districts of the west. State Geologist
Hay said that the water supply in Sher-
man county was superior to any other
known portion in the state. The large
underAow of water is inexaustabIe and
the only question now is to bring it to
the surface. The reservoirs at the
present time constructed in Sherman
county are quite numerous, yet only
appear to be small beginning, and is
estimated that the consolidation of
these reservoirs would make a lake two
miles long and one mile wide. Irriga-
ton once well established, will be the
means Of increasing the value of real
estate and the promotion of general
prosperity.

According to the Denver Evening
Post a divorce mill has been in full

capacity surpasses anything ever at.
tempted at Yankton OF Sioux Falls,
S. D., and nearly equals Il be records of
the notorious Chicago couF IT'S. The mill
was conducted by County Judge Stat
terly and County Attorney Fairall.
Mr.. Fairall was a pupil of the irrepres-
sible John Lewis in the early days of
Goodland and was admitted to the bar
in 1889. He removed to Cheyenne
Wells soon after and was appointed
county attorney which office he has
since continuously held. During the
past year over 100 divorces have been
granted to persons who Bearn to be
freefro the CALLING chains of infelici-
tous conjugality, Only about four OF
this number resided III that county
although the statutes OF Colorado re-
quire that q petitioner for enforcement
must reside at least one year in the
county in which the divorce proceed
iGgs are instituted. The statutes also
provide that notice shall be published
ia a newspaper for three weeks, but
this was only done in few cases. The
records of the court have not been kept
rs required by law and in many cases
the docket entries have never been
signed by the Judge. The Irregular
ties will probably lead to criminal pro
seedlings and the enforced soiOurn
ment of the gentlemen at Colorado's
mountain resort Canon City. These
divorces, although not legal, would
probably protect the holders from
criminal proceedings for bigamy in
case they should have again became
dntangled III the meshes OF matrimony
but In that case the latter marriage
would be void, Editor Crick, of the Re
publican, whose name is signed to sev
eral Of these DEGREES as foreman of the
jury, declares that it was done without
bis knowledge or consent and that the
signatures are forgery.

ao Killed tho riy.

The Geneseo Qn.) News tells this
story: Up near Atkinson is farm
er's wife, who read in the back end OF
some almanac, where the leaves are
all torn out, that corns can be cured
by rubbing them with the heads of
old-fashioned blue matches. One corn
hurt her very much. 1t was very ten.
der. She could hardly bear to touch
it, but she slyly rubbed ths match
heads on, according to directions, and
went to bed, confidently expecting to
find the corn dead in the morning.
In the night the phosphorus in the
match heads began to gnaw pretty
hard at the corn, and she became
restless, finally kicking off the covers,
which wakened her husband. He
looking sleepiiy about for the quilts,
spied what he took to be FREELY at
at the foot of the bed. At once arriy.
ing at the conclusion that the insect
had been annoying his wife. causing
her to kick, he slipped out OF bed,
seized one Of her shoes, spat on his
hands, and fetched the supposititious
insect u whack. The yell his wife
gave scared all the stock out OF the
barn.yard.

Tho Kennedy shooting.

Saturdays Silver State has the
following additional particulars OF the
shooting OF Bert Mcintosh:
@The arrival OF the Kennedy stage
was anxiously awaited yesterday for
further particulars OF Thursdays
shooting affray and as to the condi
ton OF young McIntosh. whJm first
reports said wns fatally wounded.
The stage arrived at D o'clock, the
driver William Pearce, having made
the trip in the extraordinary time OF
seven hours and half. He reported
that McIntosh's condition was con
sidercd very dangerous and that the
bullet had not been located up to the
time he left. McIntosh's father and
mother arrived from Lovelock early
yesterday morning. and the young
man was being given every attention.
DIR. Hood of Battle Mountain was tel.
cgraphed for from here and he left
that place direct for Kennedy yester.
day afternoon.
Mcintosh refuses to make any
statement Of tho case. but others who
were present when the shooting oc-
Cured tell story which differs ma.
materially from that told by Jenkins.
They claim that Mcintosh had bought
and paid for tho tailings, the ut
tempted removal of which caused the
trouble. Jenkins ordered tho team
ster to drive Off the promises. He re.
fused to do so and Jenkins pulled his
gun md drove the team of himself.
Mcintosh tried to argue with Jenkins
but found it useless and finally when
the latter's ego was turned drew his
revolver and ordered Jenkins to drop
his gun. The answer was shot from
Jenkins which struck Mcintosh in
the breast. Mcintosh then cmptied
his revolver, but shot too far to the
right, and then turned and ran up
tho street. Jenkins fired couple OF
shots after him but his gun would rot
work.
Jenkins claims that Mcintosh fired
The first shot, which statement is
directly contradicted. Tho feeling mt
Kennedy is said to be very strong
against Jenkins and the opinion is
openly expressed there that had tho
affray occurred anywhere cleo he
would not have left town alive

Misc Amelia II Edwards Tells OF What She
Saw In tho Homes of st- UIrich.
In her story of the toymakers of the
Tyrol, Miss Amelia B. Edwards, in her
t"Untrodden Peaks" mentions many an
interesting visit to the homes of the
working people of st. Ulrich, where so
many toys are made.
"In one house." runs the account,
I'VE found an old, old woman at work,
Magdalena Paldnuf by name. She
carved cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats
and elephants. She has made these six
animals her whole life long, and she
has no idea how to cut anything else.
She makes them in two sizes, and she
turns out as nearly as possible n thou
sand OF them year. She has no model
or drawing of any kind to work by, but
goes on steadily, unerringly, using
gouges OF different sizes and shaping
out her cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats
and elephants with an ease and an
amount OF truth to nature that would
be clever if it were not utterly mechan-
ical. Magdalenn Paldauf learned from
her mother how to carve these six ami
mails, and her mother had learned, in
like manner, from her grandmother.
Magdalena has now taught the art TO
her own granddaughter; and SO it will
go on being transmitted for genera
tions."
In another house Miss Edwards found
the whole family carving skulls and
crossbones for fixing ut the bases of
crucifixes, for the wood carving of
Grodner Thai is religious In its nature
rs well rs amusing. In other houses
there were families that carved rock
ing horses or dolls or other toys, and in
still other houses there were families

massacre of ,1i.uionar,a..

NEw YORK, June 10.-Ohicials OF
the Methodist Missionary Society in
this city are very hopeful that the re-
port OF the massacre of missionaries
at Cheng Tu has been exaggerated.
DIR. Stephen j. Baldwin, Recording
Secretary, said: II do not think the
rumors are substantial for assurances
we received by ceble from our mis-.
sion in Cheng Tu, under date OF June
3D., read: Property destroyed; all safe.
Inform Toronto. This would indicate
our people safe, although their prop
erty had been destroyed" The mis-.
sionaries who are at Cheng Tu arc Rev.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The Chi.
nese legation has received no informa.
ton as to the reported massacre of
American missionaries in Cheng Tu
and strong hopes are entertained that
the affair may be less serious than
maBgre reports indicate.
Cheng Tu is a large city in the in.
terror OF China, and the capital OF
See Chun. The whole number of
missionaries in the province is less
than ono hundred. They were the
only foreigners there. Tho inhabi.
tants wero excited over the opening
OF the province to foreigners, under

a Pneumatic Road skate.

Lester Merrill, student in the mo
chnnical department OF the univer.
sity, has manufactured a pneumatic
wheel road skate that bids fair to
supplant the bicycle, says tho Reno
journal. He made every part OF tho
new device excepting the rubber tire
on the wheels. The combination con-
sists OF foot piece similar to an ordi.
nary roller or ice skatc with straps to
fasten it on the foot. The gearing
under the foot piece is light but
strong frnme, that serves to hold the
two wheels, which arc eight inches in
diameter, having rubber pneumatic
tires. An adjustable brace that moves
on the axle OF the rear wheel and
reaching to tho knee il fastened to tho
leg in similar manner to a knee
stilt and scr,es IA II support TO the
skatcr md adds to the security, and
the fact OF its moving on hinge
gives freedom to action OF tho limbs
without danger. Tho skate can be
used ON any good road. aud whilo no
test for speed has ss yet been tried it
Ia probable that an expert could make
from twenty to twenty-five miles an
hour over a fair country road.
