LEAVE HORSES STANDING.
Careless Drivers Daily Violate the
City Ordinance.

No matter how many people are
arrested and fined, no matter how
many ranaways occur or accidents
are caused, drivers persist in leaving
teams stan ding in the street without
being tied. One driver after another
has lately been fined for violation of
this city ordinance. but the offense
does not seem to abate. This is not
confined to drivers of drays or hacks,
for frequently the driver of private
carriage will jump out and run into
a store or hotel, leaving the horse to
take care of himself.

ease at such frightful pace that no ordinary
methods will prevent disaster There are
plenty of medicines which act merely as

Onyx AMI Jasfe

Billy Hollenbeak, of this city, has on
exhibition at his stables, several big
chunks of onyx, in the rough, that were
taken from some lodges that he discov-
cred 10 years ago. He has had few
specimens dressed and they display a
fine polish, fully equal to, if not supe-
rior to the Mexican product. He says
there are some twenty well defined
lodges, and that slabs can be secured
of this formation, the size of wagon
wheel. Reports from specimens sent
to the lapidary are of a very encourage
ing nature, and he is now receiving in
quiries about these deposits.
Mr.. Hollenbeak will have further
tests made, and it would not be sur
pricing to hear, some of these days, of
Billy blossoming out into full-fedged
capitalist, backed by glistening blocks
of onyx, and jasper galore.
The location is about twenty-five
miles south of Caldwell, across Snake
river. In the same formation are found
pretty specimens of moss agates.-

Big Opa:s.

G. B. Garrison, of Enterprise, was q
caller last Saturday. He informs us
that the opal property near Warm
Springs, recently purchased by DR..
Bartlett, of Boston, is looking fine.
Mr.. Garrison had with him vial of
beautiful specimens Of these opals, and
says several stones have lately been
taken out weighing from 20 to 80 karets.
Many of these are the genuine fire opals
and are from the same mine that took
the prize at the Worlds Fair. He is
satisfied that the mine has perna-
nept basis and will pay to work right
along as u business proposition. Mr..
Garrison has had charge of the proper

This we call ungrateful, for the peo-

that the conception, inauguration and
construction of the Owyhee r. r. is due
to Kunnel Stearns' capacity to stand bel
ly up to the bar along side of that other
famous Kunnel and suggest the scheme
and talk it up between drinks. Over
here in these mountains we don't say
unpleasant things about the people
who scatter money in the country,
however much we may despise them
and the seven hundred dol
lars per month income which the Nam
pa Kunnel so promptly blew in, would,
in Owyhee, cover q multitude of sins,
to say nothing of the reported shortage
of his railroad accounts which went
the same way. We don't talk about
our Kunnel that way.

GARLIC PLANT DOES NOT SMELL
Only when bulbs Are Broken Is the
Strong Odor PcrceptibIe.

strong OdOr Pcrceptfble.
About three-quarters of the garlic
used in this country is imported from
Italy. 1t comes in hampers containing
about 10 pounds each. Garlic, says the
New York Sun, is raised in this country
in Connecticut, in Louisiana. in Texas
ard in New Mexico. All garlic, both i'm
ported and American. is put up in
strings or punches, something like the
punches in which onions were once
sold in this country, but much longer.
American garlic is shipped in crates
and barrels; some from the far south
west comes in long cylindrical baskets.
Garlic is sold by the pound, or by the
single bulb, which is sold for penny.
In its commercial form, whole and dry,
garlic does not yield the strong smell
for which it is famous. In wholesale
produce establishment where garlic
was stacked up in quantities there was
no noticeable odor from it. But if one
of the several smaller bulbs of which
each root are composed and which are
called cloves of garlic be broken off and
broken in two the powerful odor be-
comes perceptible.
The aggregate consumption of garlic
in this country is large, and our ex-
ports of it to South American coun-
tries. which include American garlic
ard imported garlic reshipped, amount

Russia Can Place Mighty Military
Force in the Field.
The army OF the car is composed OF
81 corps d'arme divided up into IA con-
scriptions. The strength Of each corps
is about $4,000 men. The infantry COM
prises about 165 regiments of the line,
20 regiments of chasseurs, 16 regiments
of grenadiers and ~ regiments of the
guard. This is very fine army, well
organized, of great resisting power and
prodigious tenacity, says the Detroit
Free Press. 1t is armed with repeat
ing rifle very much like the French Le-
bel, and which is highly esteemed by the
Russian generals. The artillery is com
posed of 06 siege batteries, 1914 field
batteries, IS mountain batteries, 43 bat
teries, a cheval and three mortar regi-
ments-altogether nearly 5000 light
pieces and 1900 siege guns.
Besides this there are brigades OF
engineers, military train, railroad cleo
tricians, torpedoists, velocipedists, po-
lice, etc. AS to the imperial cavalry it is
well known to be one of the finest and
by far the most considerable in Europe.
1t is composed of regulars and regi-
ments like Cossacks, for example, who
enjoy a certain degree of independence
and some privileges and who yet submit
TO the usual discipline. This cavalry is
divided into GIL squadrons, of which 352
are regular cavalry, cuirassiers,

1t is funny to think how some old
frauds, especially female frauds, can
manage to keep their names going the
rounds of the papers. An instance of
this is Charlotte Smith, now in Boston,
who has had something to say in the
way of proposing the enactment of a
law compelling bachelors to marry.
This same old girl who cannot write
paragraph for a newspaper which a
compositor would set up as "she is
wrote" without being fired by the fore
man, has been on the turf since the
writer was a boy, and that was long
time ago, and he remembers how she
played old Future Great" Reavis out
of handsome sum which the citizens
of st. Louis presented him, twenty

girl, but not worth the free advertising
the papers are now giving her.
