Needle Located.

At the electric light company's office
last evening, by means of the y ray, a
needle was located in woman's hand
that has been imbedded in the flesh for
% years.
The woman is Mrs. Knight, who lives
at the Halfway House. Twenty-three
years ago she ran a needle into the ball
of the thumb of her right hand. For a
while the hand was very sore,and it has
since given her much trouble at times
Her friends thought the needle had
not gone into the hand, but she knew
better. When she heard that there was
an X ray outfit here by which an ex-
animation could be made, she deter
mined to have the needle located.
The needle was plainly shown lying
across the bones of the hand. 1t had
worked its way through from the out
side of the thumb until it found lodg-
ment in the palm across the first two
bones. Mrs. Knight was glad to know
where the needle was, and was particu-
larly grateful to the mysterious ray for
that she had been right and
her friends wrong ali these years. 1t is
possible that an operation will be per
formed for removal of the intruder

A Peculiar FiuG.

About a year ago Ed. Winn started
to sink well on his ranch about six
miles east of town. He went down 81
feet and struck lava, and after blasting
into the lava s or 10 feet quit work. A
short time ago he put some mon at
work sinking again, and on Tuesday at
depth of g feet they struck crevice
about 6 or 7 inches wide filed with
sand. They took some of it to the sur
face and panned it out, finding gold in
small quantities, more like shot gold
than that usually found along the
banks of Snake river. But the pecu-
liar find was an empty 1910 rifle shell,
which was brought out with the sand.
Where could that shell have come from
is the question that is the puzzler. 1t
certainly couldn't be more than 20 or %
yeurs old. But how it could get where
it was found can only be conjectured
from the supposition that during the
high water season the melting SHOWS
carried these crevices full of water and
sand and the shell had been washed
there from the surface OF the surround
ing foothills, the point where the well
is being sunk being close to the foot

Is Emperor william IT. of Germany

Is Emperor William II, of Germany,
insane? is question now quietly being
discussed in Europe. In any event the
people generally agree that he is afflrct-
ed with megacephalus. This is NAL
ady quite familiar to people in this
country. Ex-Secretary Morton is a
sad case of it. Bob Fitzsimmons has
it now, and many less prominent peo-
pie are sadly troubled with it. Bur we
Americans have common name for
the complaint. We call it the "Big
Head"

We understand the Opal mines, for
merly worked by Anchor, Shirly 4 Co i,
in this county have been sold to com
pany from Philadelphia. We are glad
to learn this. First, because we believe
there are as good Opals in this county
as can be found anywhere and it would
be pity to have such promising pros
poets lay idle. Second, because the
parties who sell are the kind of men
who most likely will invest their money
in other mining prospects and do their
best to develop them.

The Late Fight.

The brutal exhibition of physical en-
durance held at Carson on last We'd
nesday, designated by the talent as a
glove contest" is thing OF the past,
although the evil effects of the affair
will last for some time to come, and in
many cases may be the means of chang
ing the entire future lives of some of
our states promising yonng men. 1t
matters not what the governor or other
prominent men may say, every, person
knows down deep in his heart that
such events produce more evil than
good, and that every contest is back
ward instead of a forward step in the
march of civilization.
There is no comparison between
prize fighting and football, baseball or
other athletic sports fostered by the
colleges of the land. The point at is
sue is not the injury done to the con
testants, if so the comparison might
with propriety be made, but it is the
effect upon the morals of the country.
Let the student of human nature see
the class of citizens who follow the for
tunes of the prize ring, who live off its
victories and its defeats and glory in
the gushing of human gore at the ring
side, and you will witness men who fol-
low no legitimate occupation for IA
livolibood; men who would be the last
to fight in case Of their country's need
and who, when unable to live from the
crumbs thrown to them by the turn of
fortunes wheel, fall back upon the
profits gained from the sale of human
virtue. Take away the betting and
chances for money making jobbery in
the prize ring and there will be no
more prize fighting. Take away the
expectation OF the spiliing of blood and
the bruising OF flesh and the breaking
of bones from the glove contests" and
there will be no one to pay $40 for
seat to see such events. Such things
only crafty the most brutal instincts |
of manhood, degrade instead of elevate, |
and one such an event does more in
jury to "A community than all the |
salvation armies and benevo-
lent associations can counteract in ten
years.
While we admit that accidents fire.
quently occur in other athletic sports,
such accidents are to be deplorel by
the witnesses and not gloried in, and
right there is where the difference is.
All who make excuses in behalf of
prize fighting can only do so because
they favor such brutal sport, and not
because it is no worse than other games
from the standpoint of danger to the
While it is true that lin
ited round fights are held almost every
day in other states, still that is no rea-
son why Nevada should sink herself
into the slum OF filth, which she has
done, by legalizing by Il statute, such
beastly contests. Two wrongs do not
make right, never did and never will,
and every man who voted for the bill.
and the governor who signed it should
be ashamed of themselves and be brave
enough now that they have enjoyed all
5he enobling features of IA contest" to
Dublic1ly admit that they had made
mistake. -Winnemucca Silver State.

We once heard of a western emigrant
who moved his family and Belongings
so frequently that his chickens acquired
the habit Of coming up to the covered
wagon every evening and meekly turn
ing up their legs to be tied, ready to be
thrown into the wagon for the next
fitting. If the cook for the engineering
corps of the Hepta Diabolos railroad
carries any chickens with his outfit
they will be likely to fall into the same
habit before Il permanent southern
terminus is selected. 1t has been at
Weiser; it has been across the Weiser
river, near that town; it has been at
Payette; it may next be in Caldwell or
Nampa. The place which will put up
a bigger bonus than the last committee
offers may take it away from all these
places. The two famous Colonels,
Dewey and Stearns have not had
whack at it yet, and where is Colonel
Shaw? He is a promoter from way
back. Give all these gentlemen Il
chance, Colonels Bates, French and
Johns on.
Postscript.-It looks as if the ter
minus was now spiked down at Pay
cite: but couple of Boise Colonels
have gone to New York to try and have
it pViieJ up once more.
