Weir Clty Rang .roo Court.

A case of misplaced confidence was
tried in Judge Hamm's court this week
and all the leading lawyers of Muir city
were engaged on the case. Porter 4
Beer appeared for the plaintiff, John
Dock, and Messrs Newman and Hag-
gerty for the defendants, Sad Wells and
Jolly Frank. The defendants were ac-
cused of feloniously, maliciously, with
malice aforethought purloining one
certain Bedbug incubator of the par
value of $500.
Attorney Porter opened for the pros
ecution as follows:
Your Honor-This is indeed strange
case and will endeavor as briefly as
possible to recite the facts in your ju-
dicial ear. Once upon time the
plaintiff was the sole owner and pro-
prietor of couch, soft as down. When
wearied with Il day of toll oh what bliss
to stretch his tired limbs upon this
couch aforesaid Each night he passed
on this couch III the embrace of Nor
pheus until the god of day, bursting
forth in all its splendor dispelled the
shades of night. Thus in innocense
and contentment the plaintiffs nights
were passed. But, alas, change came
DER the spirit of his dreams; no more
did he see sacks of gold, no more did he
find rich silver mines and vote the re-
publican ticket, no more did others
shoot deer and in kindness of heart
give him credit for it, no more did he
enjoy himself teasing Mart Mons, but
instead his dreams and visions were
troubled. The silver dollars were cart
wheels crushing him, Mart Nons ap-
peared at his bedside in the shape Of
little demon cramming pills made of
the DeLamar NUGGET down his throat.
Thus, your Honor was night made hid
eous to the plaintiff and his dreams
and visions made him sore afraid.
Bring before your mental vission the
horror of those dreams and out Ct the
milk of human kindness that is bub
bling up in your bosom spare, oh,
spare a pint or two TO the plaintiff.

This Drama was presented in Della

talented of our neighboring towns peo-
pie and, of course, our amusement low
ers were expecting something pretty
good and it is not too much to say that
they were not disappointed. AS is us
ual in such cases, the ladies, especially,
are deserving of praise.
Lark's orchestra was in attendance
and delighted the audience with their
beautiful selections.

was success aud reflects great credit

But to resume. One night being
tormented beyond endurance he arose
and sought solace in his pipe. Lighting
a candle he was Shorrifed to discover
that his couch was literally alive with
fat animated things. Springing to the
bed he quickly cast aside the clothing
and seized the mattress, rushed out in
to the darkness and cast it against the
the cold cruel rocks. Casting his eyes
upward he wildly broke forth: ''Oh,
We elements which hold sway in limit
less space, pour down thy floods on
this my bed and drown the pests which
infest it. EXterminate with thy frost,
thy snow, thy hail, thy rain and thy
wild winds!" And all nature seemed
hushed in sympathy with the terrible
sorrow of this man.
With heavy heart, bowed head and
folded arms he sought his abode and
slept in fitful slumber on the hard
boards of his floor. Time passed, and
here let me observe that it is a common
thing for time to do. He always passes.
He never orders you up or stands pat
or frogs: but 1 digress. As l remarked
before time passed, yea, nigh onto the
space of two months. By this time the
elements had accomplished their work.
One evening after day of toll he re-
paired to the spot where his couch was
wont to lay during its publication pro-
cess. But, alas, how can tell i'll Ho,
all ye who have handkerchiefs have
them prepared for will tale of woe
unfold that will break up the fountains
of your heart and cause the briny tears
to rush from your eyes like the water
from the mill ditch to the Pelton wheel
at the DeLamar mill.
AS was saying he hastened to the |
spot but when he arrived there his bed |
was gone, leaving nothing but an ach-
ing void.
Attorney Porter sat down in paroX-
ism of grief thereby nearly spelling a
pair of new pants. Hizonor was rest
ing his venerable head on the 'stat-
cots" The jury were vieing with each
other as to who could howl the loudest,
while the plaintiff was convulsed with
sobs. Tears fell like rain and formed
in puddles on the floor and dripped off
the court house steps.
The defendents gazed at each other
in surprise. Then spoke up Sad Wells
to his partner; :'Say Joll, its all a
Dleely lie. That lawyer can make the
oleedy fools believe anything. Wait
ill our liar has a show he'll turin top
~ y-turvy.
The Judge, calling the court to order,

Judge Beeswinger, as the
egally elected Judge of Muir City, |

An accident occurred Monday evening
which might have resulted in consider
able destruction of life and property.
Indeed the wonder is that there was
not more harm done. One of Mr.. Ber
ry's teams, loaded with giant powder
was climing the hill to the mine and
when part way up, the load capsi2ed
down u steep place, rolling and tum-
bling distance OF hundred yards.
Fortunately the king pin came out, un-
coupling the front wheels, which freed
the horses from the wreck, and only
one of them was slightly hurt. The
driver escaped without injury. We
often read of giant powder eXplo ding
without any apparent cause, but here
was a whole load of it consisting of
sixty-four boxes, rolling and tumbling
down mountain side, coming in con-
tact with rocks, in some instances the
sticks of powder being cut in two, and
in others mashed perfectly fiat. The
boxes containing the powder were all
torn to pieces and nails from them
driven through the powder. Why there
was no explosion is one of the unac-
countable mysteries.

Washington, September 21.-The last
cabinet meeting before the President s
departure was held today. Secretaries
Gage and Long, who are out of the city,
were the absentees and Attorney General
McKenna remained less than half an
hour. So far as can be learned the Gu
ban situation was not under considera-
tion. Secretary Alger said after the
cabinet adjourned that no steps would
be- taken looking to the relief of the
miners in the Klondike until after navi-
cation closes and the government through
Capt. r. Ray, who is at st. Michaels,
the exact situation. Secretary Alger re-
eeived telegram today expressing the
opinion that the four steamers now going
up the Yukon carry provisions for all
persons now at Dawson City and the vi
cinity. II they arrive safely perhaps there
will be no necessity for any relief meas
ures. If not, it is possible that Mr.
Ladue's suggestion for dog trains across
the Chilkoot Pass may be accepted.

TEARING THROUGH SPACE.
The Earth's Fearful and Unceasing Race
Toward the Stars.


have seldom felt more delicious sense
Of repose than when, crossing the ocean
during the summer months, sought
place where I could lie alone on the deck,
look up at the consultations, with Lyra
near the zenith, and while listening to the
clank of the engine try to calculate the
hundreds of millions of years which would
be required by our ship to reach the star
Alpha Lyrae if she could continue her course
In that direction without ever stopping. 1t
is a striking example Of how easily we
may fail to realize our knowledge when I
say that have thought many time how
deliciously one might pass those hundred
millions of years in a journey to the star
Alpha Lyre without it's occurring to me
that we are actually making that very
journey at speed compared with which
the motion Of a steamship is slow indeed.
Though every year, every hour, every
minute of human history, from the first
appearance of man on the earth, from the
era of the builders of the pyramids,
through the times of Caesar and Hannibal,
through the period of every event that his
tory records, not merely our earth, but the
sun and the whole solar system with it
have been speeding their way toward the
star of which speak on journey of which
we know neither the beginning nor. the
end. During every clock beat through
which humanity has existed it has moved
on this journey by an amount which we
cannot specify more exactly than to say
that it is probably between five and nine
miles per second.
We are at this moment thousands of
miles nearer to Alpha LyrB than we were
few minutes ago when I began this dis
course, and through every future moment,
for untold thousands of years to come, the
earth and all there is on it will be nearer to
Alpha Lyr@, or nearer to the place where
that star now is, by hundreds of miles for
every minute of time come and gone.
When shall we get there? Probably in less
than million years, perhaps in half
million. We cannot tell exactly, but get
there we must if the laws of nature and
the laws of motion continue as they are.
To attain to the stars was the seemingly
vain wish of the philosopher, but the
whole human race is in certain sense
realizing this wish as rapidly as speed of
six or eight miles second can bring it
about. Address by Professor Simon New
comb.

A Morbid Conscience.

1t is well in seeking to initiate the apos-
ties exercise to have always "a con-
science void of offense,' to remember that
the phrase was followed by two clauses,
"toward God and toward men," August
us Hare, while a student at Oxford, met
an undergraduate whose morbid con-
science made him an oddly, amused his
friends and offended strangers. In the
"Story of My Life" Mr.. Hare describes
the man called r. as follows:
His arms and legs struggle away from
his body and he holds his hands up like
kangaroo. One day man said to him,
elbow do you do, RI and he answered,
"0uite well, thank you" The next day
the man was astonished at receiving from
r. the following note:
"Dear Sir--I am sorry to tell yeu that I
have been acting o deceptive part. When
told you yesterday that was quite we'll,
had really headache. This has been
upon my conscience ever since"
The note amused the man, whose name
was Rnrton, and he showed it to friend,
who, knowing r. IS weakness, said to him:
'Ob, R., how could you act SO wrongly
as to call Mr.. Burton dear sir, thereby
giving him the impression that you liked
him, when you know that you dislike him
extremely?"
R. was sadly distressed, and few days
later Mr., Burton received the following:
Burton, / am sorry to trouble you
again, but have been shown that, under
the mask CT friendship, have been for
the second time deceiving you. BY calling
you dear SIR may have led you to sup
pose liked you, which never did and
never can do. am, Burton, yours, etc. %
