AN EXCITING ELECTION.

This business being disposed of DIR.
Moore read the committee report on
the rules and regulations concerning
each employee of the town, after which
he moved that they be adopted. 1t was
carried without dissenting voice.
A call for nomination for Assistant
Engineer was next in order, but before
any names were put, DIR. Moore arose
to his feet to make few remarks in
behalf of Mr.. Abel Taylor. He said
"he had talk with the latter
and the question in his mind was
whether it would be safe and expedient
for Mr.. Taylor to do the work set aside
for the Assistant Engineer. While the
latter wanted the job, he had declared
to him CDR. Moore) that he would not
climb any poles at his age in life, and
when shown a copy of the proposed
rules, he asked that his name be with
drawn as an applicant. j. G. Robin
son grew excited at this point and ap-
pealed to the Board to treat Mr..
Taylor fairly. He felt quite sure he
would accept, from the conference he
had had with him. Mr.. Robinson
praised the practical experience of MIR.
Taylor and said the council could not
elect man who could better attend to
the pumps. The water department, he
thought, was just as important as the
electric light and it was just as neces-
sary to have a good man in that de-
partment as any other"
W. A. FAIRIES moved that the appli-
cations be read. 1t was carried and
the names Of Abel Taylor and Samuel
Jackson were put in nomination.

The Heart of O'COnnell.

On the fifteenth anniversary of the

ROUND THEY RAN.

stood a great, dingy browny-black
beast that looked to the excited en-
gineer as big as a COW. The engineer
knew at once that his visitor was a
bear, and grizzly at that, and was
correspondingly scared. The miners
had told him many tales of the cum
ming and ferocity Of these animals, and
he knew that few savage old fellows
still fingered in the mountains near
by.
This particular bear had just walked
up from his long winters sleep, and
was hungry. c0r he would not have
been so bold. 1t is probable that in
,prowling aboat in search of food he
had come close ito the mill, and had
smelt the oil in the engine-room, and,
finding the door open a-crack, had
pushed it open wider, and stepped in.
When he saw the lights and the en-
CINE. he had tried to back out. but had
run against the door, causing 1t to
slam and the springlock to catch.
Failing in his attempt to get out of
this dangerous trap, the bear turned
around in great wrath, determined to
take summary vengeance on the first
thing he could get at. Unfortunately
the first object that caught his eye
was the engineer covering against the
wall, and he started for that individ-
nal without delay AS he lunged
across the floor he gave tremendous
growl, and lifted his lips like spite
full dog, showing some terribly long
and sharp teeth. The engineer lost no
time in getting away from there. and
ran around the cylinder end of the en-
CINE like a college Splinter, while the
bear demolished the chair with one
stroke of his paw, and tore the paper
into shreds. After conscientiously
this destruction, the griz-
ely looked around for more worlds to
and seeing the engineer,
thought he would do, and started for
him again. AS the bear rushed around
the cylinder, the engineer ran toward

famous region of northwestern Neva-
da. commemorate a really remarkable
occurrence.
The engine stands in space cut OH
from the rest of the mill by tight
partition. The room is made to con-
form nearly to the shape OF the en-
CINE, the wall being about eight feet
from it on all sides, except where the
belt runs down into the fly-wheel pit.
There the partition is at least twenty
feet from the rim Of the fly-wheel, and
the great belt or band which carries
the power into the mill comes in
through hole six feet up in the wall,
and slants down to the bottom OF the
fly-wheel about the same distance be-
low the floor.
Thus in order to pass from one side
Of the room to the other at this END
it is necessary either to Jump over the
belt next to the fly-wheel or to crawl
under it next to the wall. The n.y.
wheel is an immense affair sixteen feet
in diameter, weighing twelve tons, and
wide enough on the face for the thirty
six-inch belt to run. The engine makes
more than a hundred revolutions per
minute, and this belt whizzes down
through the floor toward the fiy-wheel
in way to make one dizzy. The en-
CINE itself is kept in highly-polished
condition by the unremitting atten-
lions of the engineer, who speaks OF II
as "Old Alice" and who has painted
this name in gilt letters on her var
nished frame m memory of a little
daughter who died.
There is no direct means Of commu-
nication between the mill and the en-
CINE room, as the latter has only one
door, and that opens from the outside.
At the time of the occurrence I am
about to relate, this door had on 1T a
very complicated spring lock, and
every time the door slammed the lock
caught and, according to the engineer,
at took ten minutes work and the
key to get it open again" The mill
runs continuously, being lighted at
night by small electric-plant in the
building, and two big arc lamps hang
directly over the engine
About ten o'clock on the night of the
22nd day of March, 1892, James Rus
sell (the night engineer) was sitting in
a chair at one side Of the room read
ing an old newspaper, while his train
ed ear followed every stroke OF the
engine, and instantly detected the al
tered sound when an oiler stopped
feeding or a screw worked loose. 'Old
Alice" ran as moothly and regularly
rs a watch, and the engineer grew so
absorbed in his paper that he did not
at first look up when he heard the
door swing open and then shut with
a snap. Soon, however, the indescrib-
able feeling that something alive rs
near caused him to lift his head and
look about the room. There, Just in

In all summer applications of gyp

while both attract moisture, tho
ashes supplies the mineral element for
making nitrate of potash, which is q

do injury rather than good. Yet for
