A Narrow Escape.

Tuesday afternoon at about 4
O'Clock, John Levan had a narrow
escape while working in a prospect
tunnel near the Half Moon mine
west of town. He had charged two
holes in the face of forty-foot tun-
mel. One fired all right but the
other hung, and after waiting some
thing like ten minutes he ventured
to re-enter the tunnel. He had pro-
ceeded but u short distance, how
ever, when the second shot went off,
throwing rock in every direction.
Several pieces struck Levan on the
head and body, but must have lost
their force from contact with the
walls and roof of the tunnel, since,
though cut and bleeding, he was
able to come to town last night. A
few feet further, and few seconds
more time and the result would have
been disastrous to Levan.

A coroner's jury examined into
the circumstances of the death of
VIM. Morgan, which occurred at
State Line last week, and exoner-
ated Jack Lund, the constable, from
all blame. Ugly rumors are current,
however, that the whole matter was
pre-arranged by other parties to get
Morgan into trouble, and that while
Lund could not well avoid doing as
he did, yet the other parties should
be made to clear their skirts of the
rumors which connect their names
with the tragedy, and that they will
be called upon to do so before a
grand jury.

SCRIP REDEMPTION.

The first redemption of indebted
ness against the general county
fund under the provisions of the new
law, will take place next month.
There is no doubt but that the law
will have the effect intended; that
certificates will be surrendered at far
less than their face value and the
county thus be saved many dollar.
Similar laws have been passed for
the benefit of other counties in the
State, but the controlling principle
can well be questioned. They each

Our psriei4cos untr 1t iii
doubtless Be mi lr Is those of
other counties. Iys provisions are
general, continue indefinitely and
scrip values will fuctuate continu-
ally. Its principle is that any funds
left after paying running expenses
shall be applied to this class of our
debt. Past history with us, cover
ing a long number of years, teaches
how easily our revenues may fall
away and leave nothing for scrip re-
demption. These uncertainties and
the formality surrounding, will in
duce a surrender of certificates, and
at about the ruling market rate.
The first redemption of scrip here
in 1876, when the countys wealth
was greater and its debt less than at
present, averaged 33 cents. In
White Pine county, which has oper-
ated on this plan since 1887, and of
whose law our redemption measure
is a. copy, the early redemptions
averaged about 20 cents. The clause
authorizing the Commissioners to
re-advertise, when in their opinion
the best interests of the county war
rant it, is intended to cut off pools,
combines or trusts, and to keep
scrip in the hands of the parties to
whom originally issued. This will
tend to keep down It's value of
course, since it will cause greater
competition at redemptions, and the
general servitor of the county will
thus find himself little better off than
heretofore. A fair operation of the
law for the next two years can be
tried, however, and if unsatisfact-
ory, the same sentiment which
caused it's creation can doubtless
secure an amendment of its provis-
ions to suit the then existing con-
ditions

WHY ACTORS LOOK YOUNG.
All the Muscles OF the Face Kept
in Play.


The ever-youthful appearance of the
members of the dramatic profession is
constant source of surprise to the
public at large. Visitors to the Lyce-
Hu., for ua 0auce, can be heard every
night commenting on the wonderfully
grcacr'od youth Of Miss Ellen Terry,
who, although she some years ago
PASSED jaat memorable landmark in a
"a1aua life Of 40 years, might still be
mistaken for girl in the early POS.
The same observation is made night
after night at most of the other the
aters.
The reason for this is not so much the
paint necessary to be used in making
up-which obliterates, to a certain ex-
tent, the natural wrinkles of the skin.
while it lubricates and nourishes it
hut it is due to the change in the ex-
preston of the various emotions which
every part demands. This causes the
actor to bring into constant play all
the muscles of his face. BY using
them equally all maintain their firm
consistcuee and strength and none
wastes away from disuse. The result
is that tie skin is kept stretched and
tense over the face and does not fall
into hollows.
The youthful appearance is. there
fore, maintained off the stage, gwen
though the actors hair change from
the youthful tint to gray. This is the
reason why such men as the late Charles
Matthews, who did not put on flesh as
he grew old, but retained his slim fig
ure, are able to continue impersonat-
ing youthful characters until they have
outlived the allotted period assigned to
man by the psalmist,-Strand Maga-
zine,

1t is said that Immediately after
the next District Court sitting, S. Il.
Wertheimer will remove the bar and
fixtures from his former place of
business here to DeLamar, where L.
V. Wertheimer will conduct first
class saloon in the building on Main
street now used as storehouse by
d. L. Wertheimer 4 Co. The bar
and fixtures are the finest ever
brought to the town.
No orders have been sent down
for summoning either Il grand or
trial jury for the coming sitting Of
the District court. Probably no
grand jury will be called, and the
necessity for a trial jury will be de-
termined upon setting the calendar
of cases on the first day of the term.
1t is said that over 7S0 applica-
tons have been made for the erect
ion at the Paris Exposition of what
is known as sensational novelties. -
They embrace almost every sort of
engineering feat imaginable, from
revolving towers to a glass tunnel
under the Seine. Only few OF
them of course can be permitted, but
it is likely that some among them
will make the Eiffel tower and Ferris
wheel look like chromos.-Call,
