HAD BEGUN 10 PROSPER.

A Periodically Humorous Story Told of
 Cumberland Mountain Farlner.
 writer in the Detroit Free Press tells pathetically humorous story of a friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber' land farmer. The writer had lent Jack A. few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from hlm many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying dl1- ferent farm. By my advice, he hao moved the year before into an entirely new field, a dozen miles from his usual baunts. and I had not seen him for several months When I did see him, at last. it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-feld and came cut to the fence.
 Hello" I exclaimed. ''Is this your farm?"
 "Yes, and jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long"
 "You must be doing well?''
 q think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 ''I'm always glad to help, if l can"
 q knowed that, colonel, and that's why come away over here so fer frum home Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez I'm doin' ez we'll ez I am I'm a-goin' to stand hit
 Are you making any money?"
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 'sNo, ain't, colonel,r he replied, hope fully; but Pm losin' it slower'n ever done in my life afore."
 It struck me as rather odd at first. but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness.

Methods Used by Artists Who Design
 Popular Grotesque Posters.

 \ People who dine late at night in a certain uptown restaurant may have noticed well-dressed, wild-eyed, hag- gard-faced, dyspeptic man devouring night after night with apparent relish
 dishes which only the ultra brave have courage to eat more than once month. That man is an artist, says the New York World, and eating indigestible food is a part of his business, for he is maker of posters. Since the use of grotesque posters, built on the lines of Aubrey Beardsley's phantom fan cies and on the principle of Chimpanzee Johanna's savage sketches, has become general as rlea7~ "F ndvertising news papers # han right that

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet lat prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for a residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into
 town and collect your rents. Terms, 5 cash 5 in one year, in two years at 10 per cent interest.

demanded, and we are glad to be able to
announce that the new arrangement
gives complete satisfaction all around.
It will be better for the camp and
better Jor the mine owners, for it relieves
them Of the hotel business, and they can
give closer attention to the development
of their respective properties. Should
silver advance a little in price it would
add wonderfully to the activity Of this

MONARCH
our regular Correspondent:

From our regular Correspondent: ,
The people of Monarch, and vicinity
do not generally, know that there is an
organized ..Reform Club" in their midst,
but such is a fact. The writer CHANGED
to overhear a remark, that a meeting Of
citizens had been called, to formulate
such a body, and to satisfy his morbid
curiosity, he hied himself away to the
place of meeting. The r%eforiners began
TO gather around to discuss the situation
and finally enough were present to pro-
coed with the order of business set forth
in the call.
The selection Of Il chairman was
the first thing on the program,
This seemed to be a hard matter to do,

promptly informed him that. 1t was
to reform someone, and that he should
be ashamed of himself to ask such a qres

and friends was so large that several

the manner in which the entertainment
passed off. :
The past term has been very profitable
to the scholars and the future is indeed
bright for the Neihart schools. The
teachers show great interest in their
work and have labored hard to bring
about the best results and deserve their

Fire 1t tho Broadwater.

At about Gao. o'clock last evening
fire was discovered at the lower tunnel
Of the Broadwater mine. The fire is
supposed to have originated from the
furnace in the assay office, which with
the blacksmith shop is situated zeal the
mouth Of the tunnel. Grave fears were
entertained for a while as to the safety
Of the mine. The assay Office and
blacksmith shop are a total loss. A few
of the first timbers in the mine were
charred but no further damage was
done. Owing to the mine being situa.
ted so far from the water main, the fire
department was powerless to act. The
destroyed buildings will be rebuilt at
once, and work in the mine will not be
delayed.
