Change of Mail Time.

Starting to day, April let, the mail will
leave Ploche postotiice at 8 o'clock p. M
daily except Sunday. This is done to have
as much daylight as possible between here
and Milford, which will be OF considerable
benefit to the travelling public as well as the
stage company, now having the hardest
time imaginable to get through. 1t is i'm.
possible to keep out of the ruts and holes
caused by travel over the bottomless roads,
and as a safety to themselves and pas.
sengers are compelled to travel by daylight
as much as possible. Last week Mr.. Cohen
and an expert were enroute for Milford
when the stage suddenly gave a lurch and
fell into hole, it being dark. breaking the
stage, compelling the passengers to walk
some six miles to station. Another acci-
dent few nights ago happened near Sum.
NIT station, one of the stage horses failing
into deep hole, taking several men and
teams some hours to extract it from its
position. We think for all concerned the
change is a wise one. Mr. Denton states
that the mail will be here on time as soon as
1t is possible, having purchased more teams
to facilitate travel.

official regulations, which have been more or
less disregarded, is to be changed to the fol-
lowing; "The claimant is required to post
copy of the plat of such survey in a conspic.
ious place on the claim, together with a
notice of his intention to apply for patent,
and will give the date of posting, name of

county; whether or not the location is Of

Lincoln County.

In speaking Of Lincoln county, Of its re-
courses, its various climates and mineral
wealth, we assert that with q railroad
through it she would be the banner county
and easily discount any in the state She
has anything and everything desired to
make grand common wealth, aud this is
bound to be sooner OF later.
The Reno Gazette has the following to say
of the State and the county in particular, it
at the same time gives Senator Denton a
boost that will cause him TO wear q hat two
or three sizes larger than usual The article
appears as follows:
Nevada is great state in extent and in
resources, stretching as it does from the
S5th to the AID degree Of latitude. and EN-.
bracing many climates. Lincoln county
alone is big enough for state, and has eli.
mates enough for q continent. In this
county they are planting walnuts. almonds,
citrus fruits and all the products OF southern
California, as well as digging vast quantities
Of gold.
James A. Denton, the present Senator,
and one of the foremost residents, has been
influential in bringing this great county into
notice. The Senator is whole. souled, gen.
erous westerner, with the broad mind to
conceive large undertakings and the energy
to carry them through. He has taken some
interest in politics, and his sound sense and
genial personality have made him both pop.
ular and influential at the State capital.
Those who watched bis course in legislation
found him always taking firm stand on the
side of right and justice, and. where ary
doubt appeared, leaning to the side of the
weak and oppressed, IL lie easy to see the
evidence of good old Kentucky stock in the
Senator, who, by the way, was married at
the age Of p, and was justice of the peace
at the same age.

Cooking Celery.

Although it seems almost a crime TO

vegetable often find their way to the
kitchen that are TO be preferred served

for five minutes. Pour off half the waite

the celery for Is or 20 minutes longer
or until tender, seasoning with salt and
white pepper. Drain and set aside il
a hot dish while the liquor in which
1t has been boiled is converted into q

be looped with ribbon of the shade
used under the muslin, and a large
graceful bow in the center where the

The use of artificial flowers as n
rule is so strongly to be condemned
that l fear natural good taste will
make many disinclined to try this sim
pie and very effective decoration. I

BREAKING OFF MATCHES.
Outsiders with Their .sRandOm'

Outsiders with Their .'RandOm"
words Do Lots of Mischief.
The random" ,,a,l, which, accord
ing to the poet, may "soothe or wound
the heart that's broken" may also do a
great deal more--it may change Ges-
tiny. Many match has been made or
prevented by some casual remai K
which has had it's influence pro or con
in the beginning OF events.
Such creatures of impulse and change
are we that at certain times the wisest
of us are swayed by the merest triles.
A criticism from some one whose opin-
ion we do not even particularly value
a word of ridicule and dawning pref
erence may be quickly nipped in the
bud, while, on the other hand, q few
words of kindly praise work wonders in
opening the eyes of the blind.
1t was remarked the other day that a
certain coterie of admirers that used to
surround pretty Mrs. L - decade
ago have all remained unmarried.
What is the reason, DO .voa think:''
said one Other acquaintances; ''were
they all in love with her, do you sup
pose?"
"Of course not" said her companion.
Mrs. T. was not in the least fiirt.
" was the way she cut up everyone; ;
not girl had a chance who came her
way. She made everyone ridiculous
and the men of her set saw with her
eyes; that was all. 1t did seem rather
a pity in the case of Minnie S., for
she really liked John Brown and he GER
tainly gave her cause to think that he
cared for her. but it never came to any
thing and they said, at the time, that
it was all on account of Mrs. rs
ridicule and mimicry.
''She had such way of making every
woman appear disadvantageously to
her men without really saying any
thing actually untrue or unkind.
Minnie S. never married and John
Brown is disgruntled old bachelor, all
on account of few disparaging words
when the scales were evenly balanced. >
1t is an unfortunate phase OF human
nature that derogatory observation
makes more impression than a word oi
praise, but kind remark aptly, spoken
sometimes does a world of good at i
critical juncture. And it is a great pity
it is not oftener freely given--N. Y
