Success in this matter means much
for Wadsworth and much for Nevada.
1t will, for the State, show the practica-
bility of restoring thousands of acres of
now arid land. 1t will provide good
homes for some thousands of people in
the best climate in the world. 1t will
show to capitalists the splendid oppor-
tunities Nevada offers for Investment.
1t will make others desirious of emula-
ting this example. 1t will advertise
Nevada. To Wadsworth it means the
circulation of the money spent for the
construction of the irrigating canal. 1t
means employment for the now idle
men of this community and the State.
1t means the additions of prosperous
community, increase business, increase
valuation of property, livelier markets,
new industries, better school facilities,
better government, better roads, better
times, better everything. There is a
great probability of it's successful pas
sage through Congress and it is criminal
to be idle at this time.

Hamlet, Ind, his native village, as sud-
denly as he disappeared in 1856, when
he was the accepted sutton of Della E.
Wise. Forty years ago Temple quar-
relied with his sweetheart and IN the
heat of anger they parted. Miss Wise
was the daughter of wealthy parents,
while Temple was in humble circum-
stances. The estrangement was fol-
lowed by Temples vow that he would
forget his passion until his position in
life changed.
No tidings came from Temple and it
was feared he had ended his life in fit
of dependency. Miss Wise refused all
proposals of marriage, clinging TO the
belief that Temple would return to re-
claim her as his wife. Temple returned
from California on the 10Th of April
aid next day the now venerable couple
cemented the vows made before their
estrangement in wedlock. Temple has
made fortune by mine speculations.
The couple will make a tour of the East

Improvised Aid to Sight.

A surprising scientific truth was dem
onstrated at the city hall Friday, just
before the meeting of the public build
ings commissioners. Commissioner
Gaskill had forgotten to bring his glass;
es, and he remarked that he was incon-
venienced in that he was unable to read
anything. President Schumann of the
Tacony Iron and Metal company was
sitting near by, and: he rugged up an
impromptu magnifying glass by making
no faith in the scheme, but, on being
urged by Mr.. Schumann, he endeavored
to read a printed card by suuintinQ
through the hole in the other card. To
his surprise he could read without diff
fculty. Mr.. Schumann offered no ex-

he had seen it tried many times, and had
never known it to fail.-Philadelph
