stabbed by an Indian.

Last evening o. A. Phipps was
stabbed In the groin by an Indian and
seriously injured. Mr.. Phipps, who
was seen by the reporter at his room
over the Wieland Brewery, gave the
following account of the affair: He
was crossing from the Opera House
to the sidewalk on the west side OF
Sierra street when the Indian called
out. Il want to see YOU" Phipps
stopped and the Indian came up and
without word struck Phipps in the
groin with knife. A scufle followed
other men came UP and Phipps was
taken to his room. The Drs. Phillips
were called and found a cut about
an inch long in Phipps groin, from
which one Of the intestines was pro-
trading. They soon relieved the
patient and do not think serious re-
suits will follow.
The Indian was arrested and taken
to Jail. He is quite well known in
town, having worked for some time
for Pothoff, the livery man. No cause
Ii known for the assault. Mr.. Phipps
who is a plumber by trade, is quite
well known here. He was resting

The Tax Middle.

District Attorney Noel has decided
to ignore tho recent law passed by
the State Legislature, fixing the tax
iLr State purposes at 81 cents and
the taxes in Storey county will be
collected on the basis OF the tax levy
of So per 500 valuation, made by the
County Commissioners OH the first
Monday in March. This action will
throw upon the State the duty of
suing for the two cents added by the
late law.-Vitginia Chronicle.
IL the State has not the right to
collect from Storey county the extra
two cents added to the tax levy in
the last days of the session, it cannot
be collected from the other counties.
This raises very imp rant ques-
ton for our district attorney and
commissioners to solve at the meet
ing next Monday.

There is more Catarrh In this Sec

cases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease. and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease. and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

Desperate Ride of "a Wheelman.

Only desperate necessity could urge
wheelman to take such chances as
were faced one day recently by Joseph
E. Everett of Brick Church, N. j.
Mr.. Everett is lawyer, and having a
most important engagement in neigh
boring town, determined to take the
morning train to the place in question.
He miscalculated the time, and did
not discover his error until warned by
the train whistle. He is elderly, but
is an expert wheelman, and, jumping
into the saddle, he dashed off to the
depot just as the train started per-
sons on the platform saw him riding
with head down and feet moving like
piston rods down Harrison street to
the railroad. At the crossing the cy-
clist turned on to the gravel track be-
tween the rails and scorched down the
road after the fast-receding train. As
the last car passed Evergreen place,
moving at speed which would have
caused an experienced train jumper to
hesitate, the cyclist rode abreast of
the rear platform. Still pedaling with
one foot and grasping the bar with
one hand, the scorcher reached over
and clutched the railing on tne plat
form. With quick movement he
swung himself clear of the saddle,
drawing his wheel after him by twin
ing his other foot around the frame,
and landed safely on the steps of the
car The feat was witnessed by at
least twenty persons, and all agreed
that it had beat the record for any
trick riding any of them had ever
seen. Washington Star.

fare is" Here he stumbled and did
not finish his sentence.
"But Joe, you didn't como home
last Sunday, either, and I git so lone
some all alone" and the woman began
to cry. By this time the two were up
near the tug.
"Oh, come, now, Mrs. Shepherd,
Julia dear, guess you'd better go back,
you'll be hinderin' proper navigation
on the canal here"
81 don't care, [ won't go back, not
now anyway. If you're goin' off I'm
goin' to see you minut," and she
fastened resolutely to Joe's arm with
one hand, and wiped her eyes with
the other. Joe was embarrassed and
conscience-smitten. And it was an
ordeal to appear like this before the
men, some of whom did not even
know he was married. While the pro-
visions were being put aboard and the
last stragglers collected, Joe sat near
by on stick of timber, with his wife
holding to his arm. When all was
ready the captain yelled call aboard"
and blew the whistle. Joe rose to go.
"Give me kiss, Joe, please" " said
his wife, and he hesitatingly and awk-
wardly kissed her. Then he stepped
on the tug and the woman was alone
by the canal.
Joe was SOLDERING up fast, but he
talked with nobody and during the
run back to the dredge stood by him
self on the bow and let the cool breeze
clear the cobwebs from his brain.
That night the dredge started up again
with Joe running. For several hours
he scarcely spoke, but toward
midnight he turned to the inspector,
who stood near. ''NIr. Hunter, man
who gets drunk is fool, amt he?"
he asked, half in question, half in
meditation. "Yes," answered the in
spector tersely. ''Then I'll quit it,"
said Joe, and he kept his word.

wooing and Wedding in Alaska.

Wooing and wedding in Alaska
among the natives are interesting and
peculiar rites. When young man is
of a suitable age to marry, his mother,
his aunt or his sister looks up wife
for him. He seldom marries a woman
younger than himself; she is much old
er, and sometimes is double his age,
and even more. She is selected from
a family whose position equals his, or
is even higher. When suitable wo-
man is found the young man is asked
how many blankets and animal skins
he is willing to pay for her. When
that important question is settled, q
feast is arranged in the home of the
bride and the friends of both families
are invited. When the company is as
sembled the woman's people extol the
greatness of their family. The young
mans marriage gifts are spread out
where they will make a fine show, and
then his family sound their praises.
The ceremony lasts from one to two
days, and finally the yourg man takes
his wife to his own ABIDE.

The B. 6, o. officials are very much
nleased with certain statistics that
have recently been prepared of the
performance of freight trains on the
Second division, which handles all the
east and west-b bound traffic between
Baltimore and Cumberland Before
the new freight engines were pur-
chased, and the improvements made
in the track, in the way of straighten-
ing curves and reducing grades, the
average number of cars to the train
was 2S1s. Now, with more powerful
and modern motive power and better
track. the average is 40 cars per train,
an increase of Al per cent. The ave-
age east-bound movement per day for
the first ten days of August was 1,l23
loaded cars. On the Third division,
Cumberland to Grafton, where there
are grades of 125 feet to the mile, the
engines used haul 1872 loads to the
train. Now the average is s525 loads
per train, an increase of 81 per cent.
1t would certainly appear that the
money spent in improvements on the
B. & o. is being amply justified and
that the cost of operation is being very
materially reduced.
