A Shocking Crime.

At Evansville, Indiana, last week a
terrible deed was committed. II ap-
pears that for some months Valentine
Wissman has been jealous OF his wife,
and has had frequent quarrels with her
because Of his jealousy Of one Erwin.
Monday night he went into the room
where his wife was and told her he
was going to kill her. He snatched
her baby from her arms and dashed it
to the floor. Then he got a razor. His
wife ran out Of the house, but was
stopped by a high picket fence, and he
caught her. He Immediately began
TO slash her with the razor, He cut
her throat three times, slashed her
several times in the face, and then be-
gan hacking at her bosom. He cut one
OF her breasts off, and then tried to cut
off a hand. He cut the leaders and
severed the artery. In all he cut her
in 121 places. Neighbors frightened
him away, and carried the woman in
doors and called surgeons, who finally
stopped the flow OF blood from her
wounds.
Wissman was captured the next
morning. He was discovered on q
fence stark naked except as to his
shirt. which he had tied around the
neck, and to which he had a piece o.
wire fastened to the limb of a tree. He
was in the act of jumping from the
fence when taken.

A boys Idea.

The following is a Nogales boys idea
OF an editor: The editor is one OF the
happiest individuals in the world. He
can go to any circus in the afternoon
and evening without paying a penny,
also to inquests and hangings. He
has free tickets to theaters, gets we'd
ding cake sent him, and sometimes
gets a licking, but not often, for he can
take things back in the next issue,
which he generally does, while other
folks have to go to bed early, the
editor can sit up late every night and
see all that is going on. When l am
man | near to be an editor. SO that |
may stay out late at night. That will
be jolly.-Ex.

A Novel Wager.

A Los Angeles, CAL, dispatch of the
Sth inst. says: AS the result of a
wager between w. T. Williams Jr.,
son of Deputy District Attorney Will
liams, and his uncle, together with
other parties, a curious trip is about to
be undertaken. 1t is the c%ircling OF
the globe. which must be accomplished
within two years by Williams Jr. and
his girl wife. The young couple are to
leave the Russ House tonight with
out a cent. Every bit of money which
is to carry the travellers ove 10000
miles must be earned on the road.
The start will be made for the north,
San Francisco and Seattle being
visited, and then the road lies straight
for the Orient. The undertaking is
actuated by a desire for sightseeing
and adventure, as we'll as by the
s. 5000 purse which is up on the ven
ture.

why phxsIeians Use an ..R..,

A woman OF an investigating turn OF
mind started out the other day to dis
cover why physicians begin their pre-
scriptions with the letter r." Well,
she found out, but it took time
and caused her some trouble. 1t seems
that during the middle ages, when as
trology was in fashion, a character
very much like u RI" was the sign
Of Jupiter, the preserver Of health.
The physicians, being then equally
devoted to the science OF medicine
and astrology, invariably began their
prescriptions with the following
words: "In the name Of Jupiter take
the following doses in the order set
down hereinafter" In the course of
time this formula was abbreviated,
until at present only the letter "Rl
remains to teach us that the medica
art was once associated with the science
OF the stars.-Boston Traveller.

How to Locate n Claim.

To make a quartz location after July
LIST, the prospector must sink a hole at
least ten feet deep in solid formation,
must have at least one well defined
wall, and must stake his ground SO
that the stakes can be found. The
notice Of location must be placed con-
spicuously at the discovery shaft
where it can be seen-not on some
stump or tree in the neighborhood.
He is allowed ninety days to do this
work. II he relocates an old prospect
hole, he is required to sink it ten feet
deeper than when he first found it,
and takes and records it the same as
though it was an original discovery.
II he runs a tunnel it must be at least
ten feet long, so as to determine the
fact that a vein supposed to carry the
precious metals has been discovered.

q. N. Mcintosh Probably Fatally
oundef

A note to the Journal from Emmett
Reid AZ Lovelocks says Emmett John
son arrived from Kennedy and re-
ported that Thos. Jenkins shot G. II.
Mcintosh in the breast about two
inches above the heart. The men
quarreled about some tallings at the
Jenkins mill.
Johnson made the trip on horseback
from Kennedy to Lovelocks in six and
a half hours, as he wanted McIntosh's
father and mother who reside at Love-
locks to know that their son had been
shot.
Henry l.. Beck, who arrived from
Lovelock last night, says the fight
originated about the ownership Of tail
ings. Both drew pistols and fred at
each other. Mcintosh was shot in the
left breast, the bullet going clear
through him. The pistol from which
the bullet was shot was a "A caliber.-
Reno Journal.
The following additional particulars
OF the trouble are from the Silver
State: NJ. Tully, who returned from
Kennedy late Saturday night, reports
that the doctors found the bullet
which G. H.. Mcintosh received in the
shooting affray Of Thursday. After a
searching examination the pellet Of
lead was found to have lodged in his
left elbow and was cut out. The course
taken by the ball is remarkable. 1t
entered his right breast, took a dag
onal course to the left across the body,
went into the left arm and followed
the bone down to the elbow. McIn-
tosh's condition is very critical. The
bullet is thought to have pierced the
top Of one Of his lungs.

TubercuIous animals.

Recent statements concerning the
dangers Of t~uberculous cattle have
been confirmed by a Royal Commits
sion report. Food derived from tuber-
culous animals, according to this re-
port, can produce tuberculosis in
healthy animals; tuberculous matter
in milk is exceptionally active in its
operation upon animals fed either with
the milk or with butter or cheese de-
rived from it; and milk is undoubtedly
the chief source Of the tuberculosis
which man derives from his food. 1t
appears, however, that eve momen-
tary boiling is sufficient to remove the
very dangerous quality of t%uberculous
milk, although tuberculous meat can
only be rendered safe by thorough
cooking.

A Wonderful TaIker.

In a a cage in front OF a house on
Post street, near Grant avenue, there
is a parrot that is a wonderful talker
but a close observer. He chooses his
phrases and repeats them whenever
he feels in the humor. One of his
selections is the "good-by at the
door" between two women, and he
seems not TO have allowed a word Of
the usual form Of bidding good-by to
have escaped him, for when he talks
he deliveries himself as follows:
" Good-by."" Well, good-by." "Call
again" No; you call first" "Good-
by" "Good-by." "Don't forget /;
gool-by." Let me see-never mind /;
good-by." "Be sure and call again /;
good-by." And the wise bird winks
his other eye and adds, "Good-by."

A Verdict Of Murder In the First
Degree.


A dispatch from Austin to the Jour
nal says that the jury in the case O
Alfred Vaughan, indicted for the muir
der Of the Lister boys in Lander
county, found the defendant guilty Of
murder in the the first degree on the
first ballot.
The trial has been a most remarkable
enc. Vaughn was convicted months
ago Of murder. His lawyers appealed
to the Supreme Court and he was
granted a new trial. An effort was
made to change the venue to another
county. This was resisted by District
Attorney Jones Of Lander county and
his objections we're sustained by Judge
Mack, who presided at the trial at
Austin. A jury was impaneled to try
the case and as the trial progressed it
was a~scertained that one Of the jurors
declared that while he believed
Vaughn guilty he would vote to
acquit him as he was opposed to capi-
tai punishment. Judge Mack investi-
gated the charge, dismissed the Juror
from the panel and held him to answer
for perjury. A venire vas issued and
another sworn in to try the case, with
the result stated.
OF course the Ease will again be APP
pealed to the Supreme Court and as
the District Court had to pass upon a
great many puzzling legal points dur
ing the trial, il an orrer was made in
any particular another trial will be the
res ult.-Reno Journal.

Senator Jones. = Millionaire One
Day, Broke the Next.


The life Of Senator Jones, Of Nevada,
has been q continued One
year he is a millionaire and the next
year he is fiat broke. To-day he has
500, 900 to his credit, tomorrow he is
$4,000 poorer than when he was born.
He is a really brilliant man. He has
a remarkable fund OF useful informa-
ton, and he can make a good sheep
on any subject with very little prepar-
alton. He is an inveterate stock
gambler and always a bull. At one
time, about fifteen years ago. he was
worth 5000. 900. A evere steak Of
bad luck followed, and in two years he
was broke. During his flush period he
presented his wife with 100000 worth
of diamonds. When he reached the
financial zero he asked his wife to lend
him the diamonds. She did SO. He
sold them and invested the proceeds
in mining stocks. The venture vas
lucky and in less than a year the $780,
900 had increased to 100000. He
then returned the diamonds to his
wife, increased by 25 per cent. Jones
is interested in mines in Nevada,
California, Arizona and Colorado. His
wealth is now up in the millions again.
Rich or poor, Jones is always happy.
He is a firm believer in his own good
luck. He is a spirited, but not a wise
poker player. He lost ss5 5000 at one
sitting at Tombstone, Ariz., and raked
