VIII Resume Monday With the
Old Crew.

Just as we go to press we learn au-
thorltiyely that the Pioneer will
resume operations next Monday with
the force laid off when the shut down
occurred. A small crew have been
put on to place the mine in readiness.
The daily hoist of the mine will be
shlpped from the pockets and also the
larger part of the stockpile.
This news gives the business inter
ests OF the city better tone. With
the Chandler. Pioneer, Zenith, "26''
and several explorations working,
Ely will hold its own as it always has.
with any of the mining towns we
know OF. Let the good work go on.

Public Spirit.

Any community in which majority
of it's leading men are imbued with
public spirit is to be congratulated.
The difference between success and
failure of a town is to be measured by
the amount of this element of liberal
mindedness which pervades it. If in
place of that narrow idea which seems
to possess some mems minds as to how
certain things of public nature will
effect them personally, they could
look upon these matters in a broader
and more liberal way, and ask, how it
would effect the welfare of the COM
munity in which they live, there
would be a great step gained in the
promotion of the general good. We
take it for granted that every man in
a greater or lesser degree, owes some
thing to the community in which he
lives, and it is fact that it is not al
ways the men who are possessed of
the most means who are doing the
most for the advancement of the pub
lie welfare, of course it cannot be
expected that there will ever come a
time in the history of mankind when
the element of selfiShness can be en-
tirely eliminated but the the nearer a
person OF community of persons can
put self in the back ground and de-
vote themselves in some way to the
general good, the nearer we shall
approach the standard of true man.

social, material and spiritual well be-

seem best fitting to themselves and

North Dakota comes to the front
with a fish story which is fairly good
for starter. Two stalwart Swedes,
while fishing in the Cheyenne river
near Lisbon. caught mammoth stur-
geon, which one of them had to strad-
die and ride ashore, not being able to
land him in any other way. He was
found to be over nine feet in length
and weighed 1873 pounds. but we are
not advised whether his captors will
utilize him in the spring blowing or
reserve him for moonlight rides on
the river after he has been thoroughly
broken to the saddle.

If a man wants to get acquainted
with human nature let him edit a
newspaper for awhile. He knows
nothing of the ups and downs of life
unless he has served in that capacity.
He may have been preacher, a
banker, a merchant, traded horses,
practiced law, sawed wood. been a
member of the school board, janitor
of a church or run for office; but he
needs brief experience as the editor
in-chief OF country newspaper TO

eccentrictities of human nature

Tired Machinery.

1t is well-known fact that some
times piece of machinery shows
signs of fatigue and declines to do
good work. Given rest, it will run
all right. Men, however, never think
that they need rest, and if they are
not invalids they are old before their
time. Every man should have a sea-
son of rest and recreation, and the
best place to spend it is along the
line of the Saint Paul & Duluth rail
road, whose many and matchleSs sum-
mer resorts offer many charms The
Duluth Short Line, as it is most gen
erall known, is the favorite route be-
tween the Twin Cities and Duluth,
West Superior, Taylor's Falls, Still
water and other points, because of
the modern service it gives, and it
runs through country famous for
its many natural beauties and chains
of beautiful lakes. Make a trial trip

1t is well, to look with suspicion up

NO MORE TIGHT GLOVES.
Because They Give the Hand an Ugly
Shape In Time.

Because They Give the Hand an Ugly
Shape In Time.
The latest article of wear dear to
the feminine heart that the health adj
yocates have set the seal of their dis
pleasure on is the tight-fitting glove.
This will be distressing news to many
women who would willingly deprive
themselves of expensive lingerie in or
der to wear gloves that make more out
ward show. Women pride themselves
on exhibiting a neatly-gloved hand al
most as much as encasing their feet in
shoes which are ruinous to the natural
shape of the feet
They are perhaps unaware that wom'
en- of the stage who pride themselves
on the appearance of their hands when
ungloved, as well as when encased in
costly gloves, do not approve pinching
them with tight gloves. Bernbardt
and Terry. who are famous for the
beauty of their hands and arms, wear
long, loose-wristed gloves; Miss Ter:
ry has large hand, but it is proper:
toned to her figure, and she does not
squeeze either into tight congresses.
Next to wearing tight shoes and tight
corsets, the habit of squeezing the
hands into tight gloves is perhaps the
most foolish of feminine weaknesses
And yet; interviews with prominent
glove dealers all prove that about two
thirds of their customers will insist
upon purchasing gloves from one-half
to one full size too small for their
hands, and resent any remarks that the
clerks may make that would suggest
the abandonment of this hobby. "Why,
we are even forced to suggest smaller
sizes, and make delicate remarks about
their tiny hands, in order oftentimes
to secure their favors," one prominent
dealer stated smilingly.
The wearers of tight gloves are not
always ignorant people by any means,
but they are invariably of a vain and
shallow type, who have no regard for
artistic beauty and who are martyrs
when it comes to physical suffering.
For there is certainly nothing much
more uncomfortable in the way of dress
than tight, squeezing. ill-ftting gloves,
with buttons straining to their ut
most tension and with the palm fairly
bulging out in mass of almost purple
flesh, which has been forced into this
unnatural position.
s'Women with very long fingers near
ly always buy short-fngered gloves"
the glove seller stated, "and then, when
the sharp, pointed nails have cut through
the ends of the fingers, they bring them
back with all manner of complaints and
there is absolutely nothing to be said
if we wish to retain their custom. A
very fine quality of kid is always more
flexible than a cheap quality; conse-
quently a lady who wears No. in
a one dollar glove can frequently wear
a five and three-quarters in a $3.50
quality, just as one can wear two or
more sizes of shoes in different makes

THE LlEE-CAR.
The First One Built Saved Two Hundred
Lives from n Single Ship.

The First Ono Built Saved Two Hundred
Lives from n Single Ship.
He had been planning for several
wears for 4 life-car, a closed vessel or
covered beat, which could be sent out to
a stranded vessel on a rope and pulled
back and forth. 1t was to carry two or
three people. He could not see his way
clear TO make this of wood; but now the
iron problem was solved, he could carry
out all his plans.
The car was built according to the
plan made by him, an inclosed, torpedo
like affair, and along in the terrible win
ter of 1880 it was Llacet. in the care OF
some unframed fishermen on the New
Jersey coast, at Squan beach. An Eng
lish ship, the Ayrshire, was wrecked
here, one day, in the rlidst of binding
storm. The men on the beach could do
nothing with their ordinary boats. The
life-car was brought out. Il small can
non, or mortar, was loaded with piece
of smooth iron, several inches long, at
tached to q pile OF cord. This was Shot
out over the spars of the ship. The peo-
pie on board hauled in the cord and
drew along through the surf stronger
rope This was fastened to the mast
and the Hfe-car was swung from the
beach, with the rope running through
| the two rings at each end, and pulled
out to the vessel
There were 201 people on board, and
all but one of the number were saved.
The story OF this rescue went round
the world. al that had been said in
praise of the invel>or's powers was now
justified. All Europe was interested.
He was recognized BY the nations of the
world as one who had done marvellous
work for humanity-who had, as some
one said, robbed the ocean voyage of its
| terrors.
| The making of these boats followed,
but the original boat Mr.. Francis pre-
served. Its homo is now in the Nation
al museum at Washington. 1t has been
sent to many places for exhibition, to
| London among others, and it was an in
teresting feature of the life-saving ex-
hibit of the government at the worlds
fair.-W. S. Harwood, in st. Nicholas.

the young attorney tried his first case
in an Oregon court, Messrs. A. b.
Webdell and f. G. Conant, now resi-
dents of Crook county, being his
clients. The skillful manner in which
he conducted this case won for him

until he had established a lucrative
| practice in the mining camp of Auburn.
He was Baker county's first represen-
tative to the legislature, where he
served with credit, and was few years
after made Judge of the seventh Judi

with perfect satisfaction to all. For
the past eight years deceased has been
a member of the well-known law firm
