ESDEN-At Oakland, Cal, March 9th,
1895, Mrs. frankie Esten, aged 30
years, 10 months and 3 days, below
ed wife of Herbert ID. Esden, OF
Wadsworth, Nevada.
frankie, daughter OF William and
Agnes Nichols, was born in GREENWOOD,
Canada West, on May 2, 1860.
Three months after her birth, her
father, William Nichols, settled in
Wadsworth, and thither in 1859, came
his wife and his two daughters, Sar. h
aud frankie. The family have resided
here almost continuously since and are
we'll known throughout the State.
frankie Nichols passed her girlhood
in Wadsworth and was married here
on November LIST, 1880, to Herbert ID.
Esden, the well known locomotive en-
gineer. They have four children, Estelle,
Clarence, Wanda and Clara.
Mrs. Esden had complained some
time of i'll health, and as it was thought
a change of climate would be beneficial,
she left Wadsworth for Oakland on
Thursday, July 9th, last. There she
was given the best OF attention in every
a surrounded by all comforts, and all
that human power and skill could do,
was done for her. Further than to ex-
tend her time of life and give her every
possible happiness, the efforts were I'M
availing, and death came on Thursday.
Realizing that the end was near her
husband was telegraphed for and the
wife and mother passed away in the
presence of her loved ones.
By her request she will be buried here,
the remains having arrived Friday
morning and having been taken to ]. F..
Georges residence. The funeral will
take place from Union Church at 2 p.
m. today.
The casket will not be opened at the
Church.
Mrs. Herbert Esden was universally
loved and esteemed by all who knew
her. Her character and disposition
commanded and won respect and love.
Her manner was always soft and mild
and winning. Her voice was gentle
and musical and attractive. Her very
presence was the personifcation of hap
piness and the world was sunniest and
brightest where she was. She was an
ideal wife and mother, q high type of
wo%manhood. Her smile dissipated the
gloom OF life and in it's light the world
took on brighter ahd better hues. In
her death recurs the adage: "Whom
the Gods love, die young"
There's a sinless brow with q radiant crown,
And u cross laid down In the dust;
There's q smile where never a shade comes now,
And teas no more from those dear eyes flow,
So sweet in their innocent trust"

MoNTANA's WEALTH IN COPPER.
Half the Product of tho World WIN Be
Furnished from Northwest Mountains

half the Product of tho World VIII BE
Furnished from Northwest Mountains
The copper industry in Montana is
growing rapidly. Each year witnesses
marked improvement in the method OF
treatment and sees the volume of ex-
port climb higher and higher. AL
ready the state produces more than
half the copper product OF the United
States, and more than one-fourth of the
product OF the entire world. And the
present outlook points very strongly to
q time, not very distant, when Montana
will produce half the copper of the
globe. a section of this state is soon
10 be opened of which very little is
known beyond the fact that it is i'm
menSely rich in minerals. That portion
of the state is enormous in size, more
than equaling the area OF Massachu-
sets; it cannot boast of single mile OF
railroad 1t is bemmed in on all sides
by the Rockies. In this mountainous
country are mines without number.
The road which is TO open this sec
ton of country is the Montana Midland,
Castle road" 1t is now in course OF
construction, and when completed will
be in the neighborhood of $50 miles
long. The road will eventually con-
meet with the coast Townsend, a small
station on the Northern Pacific, is about
midway between Helena and Castle.
and it is at this point that connection
will be made with the Northern Pacific
until the .entire line is In running order.
Castle is located in the heart of this un-
developed mining district, and Is sur
rounded on all sides with mines of all
characters, copper predominating.
Heretofore the copper industry has
been confined almost entirely 10 the
Butte district The stacks of tho An
aconda company have refined and
treated fully nine-tenths of the copper
produced by the state. The Castle
road will be the cause of the erection Of
o plant at East Helena that will, in time,
rival the Anaconda plant When the
road was proposed eastern capitalists
were appraised of the vast amount of ore
that would be taken from that section
Of the state. 1t did not take them long
to decide to build SHELTERS to treat the
ores. One New Jersey syndicate has
already purchased 200 acres of land and
has optioned IS more, near East Helena,
upon which it intends TO erect a copper
smelter. The Helena and Livingston
Smelling and Refining company,
which has a large smelter at East
Helena, has made arrangements with
the Castle road to furnish it with ore,
and a contract has been let for the cree
ton Of a copper stack, ewith the nee
eSsary furnaces.
The copper ores of the Castle dis
trict are exceptionally rich and promise
to equal those of the Butte and Lake Su-
perior districts. These who claim to be
in position whereby they can make
the assertion with some degree of GER
tainty claim that when this new district
is opened and given ample time to prove
Its richness Montana viii then come
very close to furnishing half the copper
of the entire world--Helena Cor.

They are careful TO select spots where
gold filings have fallen. and so when
the rats come out at night and nibble
the floor they get an extra supply of
this unseen gold
But the time comes when it is 10 be
unseen no longer. That is twice
year, when the boys have a grand
roundup, catch and kill the rats by
the hundred. and then put them into
crucible and burn them. The intense
heat drives off all the animal sub
stances, leaving the gold in the shape of
q nugget, the purest OF the pure. The
value OF this nugget depends, OF course,
on the number of ''gold-pIated" rats
cremated. 1t is always enough, how
ever, TO give the ingenious lads consid-
cradle pocket money. - Philadelphia

HOMELY ROYALTY.
Pleasant Picture of the Queen and Her

Pleasant Picture of the Queen and Her
Children.
Her majesty kept the religious in
struction of her children largely IN her
own hands. when Mr. Birch had been
appointed tutor to the prince of Wales,
the queen wrote:
1T is an important step. and Gods
blessing be upon it; for upon the good
education OF princes, and especially
those who are destined TO govern, the
welfare Of the world, in these days, very
greatly depends"
y story is told that, when the arch
deacon of London was catechizing the
young princes, he said: Your gov
ernesS deserves great credit for instruct
ing you SO thoroughly" At which the
boys piped up: ''Oh, but it is mamma
who teaches US our catechism." II is
not, perhaps, generally known that the
queen occasionally taught Bible class
for the children of those in attendance

The princess royal when child. and
the prince of Wales. too, needed tho
curb occasionally. Once the princess

with some officers of the escort, and
took no notice OF warning looks by the
queen. Finally she dangled her hand
kerchief over the side of the carriage
and dropped it Intentionally. There
was rush Of young officers TO pick it
up, but the queen babe them desist. and.
turning to the princess, said in 4 stern
voice: Now. pick up your handker-
chief yourself" There was no help for

1t is certain that no manufactured

All over the country many people
have almost entirely given up the use
Of grapes and other small fruits on ae-
count of their fear of appendicitis. In
deed, SO much has been said on this
subject that such articles Of diet are
recorded as almost on the list of things
prohibited. A physician of wide expert

operations for appendicitis, says that

Appendicitis may begin by cold, e

hammation. The question has often
been asked why we have appendicitis,
when aforetinre such disease was
never known. The only reason is that
physicians have learned to locate what
was formerly considered an inhamma-
ton of the bowels, or peritonitis, or an
abscess, the cause and progress OF
which were involved in obscurity Sur
gerry has done much TO alleviate human
suffering, and if people would only use
a little more intelligence and reason in

that the idea of an operation fills the

past this was almost equivalent to q

Social Etiquette In the Netherlands-Lsw
of Street Solicitations

SOCIAL Etiquette In the NetherIands-LaW
of Street Solicitations
Social etiquette in the Netherlands
is as interesting as it is peculiar, and in
its extraordinary manifestations it is
a revelation of what constituted the Gus
toms of New York hospitality of two
centuries ago. The French are polite,
but their politeness is nothing as COM
pared with that of the Dutch. The
visitor notices it as soon as he arrives
in the country, and as he sees it in the
street salutations. Everybody bows,
nobody mods, and mere touching of the
hat is unknown. AS in France, the
gentleman bows first; but, although
he may have bowed for ten years, he is
denied the privilege of addressing the
lady. A bow is given to every acquaint-
workman and takes off his hat with
bow that would not bring discredit to a
dude If he meets his neighbours foot
man OF kitchen girl, he salutes her as
he does her mistress, and the men serv-
ants give their recognition on meeting
bdoleS- Livery one DoWS on passing Il
house where acquaintance reside, and
it is amusing to see men go by and take
of their hats at the win6ows-it is
quite immaterial whether any of the
family are visible. Moreover, ladies
make a polite bend of the whole body
as they pass houses where they visit.
Tradesmen salute all of their custom
ers. A lady is bowed to by all of her
brothers OF husbands friends.
and Il Dutch boys father or brother
has ever met lady, that boy must rec
ognize her. Every man takes off his
hat to every other man that he knows,
the dustman and the pastor bowling as
politely as two lords.-Golden Rule.
