1t is said that Mr.. Frank A. Van
derlip of Chicago, who went to
Washington as Secretary Cages
private secretary, is to be made As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury.
Mr.. Nanderlip is newspaper man
and was assistant editor of a fnan-
cial paper in Chicago when Mr..
Gage appointed him private secre-
tary. He'has proved SO useful and
developed so much executive ability
that it has been decided to promote
him to higher position.-Indianap-
oils Journal.
1t is a peculiar assertion made by
the Brooklyn Eagle that in every
accident on the sea or in the river
the percentage lost of those who can
swim exceeds that of thcse who can
not swim. 1t is found that the swim
mers have too much confidence and
take too many risks. This is not an
argument against learning to swim
as the art is good for recre ,tion, and
as recreation it can nearly always
be safely enjoyed.
San Francisco Chronicle: 1t seems
like a rivival of another generation
to read the report of the death of
Horatio King, who was postmaster
general during Buchanan's admins
tration and who dropped completely
out of all public life and recollection
more than 20 years ago. OF the men
who were his contemporaries, very
few are now alive and fewer still are
active in public affairs.
CALIFORNIA; new law prohibiting
divorced people to marry in that
State under a year, is sending
many people into Nevada to have
the knot tied. County Clerk Porter
receives letters by nearly every mail
on the subject. There have been no
less than six marriages since the ad-
journment of the California Legis-
lature, to divorced people from that
State Gazette.
The other day a gentleman ac-
costed young man sitting next to

Then the recipient handed the young
man his card. Ii bore the name and
address of John d. Rockefeller -.

TO BUILD FROM MILFORD.
Oregon Short Line Contemplates lay
ing Rails to Summit on the
Nevada Side

A nearer railroad connection than
Milford, is among the possibilities
for Phoebe and surrounding country
before snow flies again.
r. c. Eccles, and r. c. Lund
were iii town on Tuesday on their
way back to Milford from n trip to
points south Of here which would be
tributary to the Oregon Short Line,
if extended south of Milford. The
object of Mr.. Eccles tour was to re-
port on the present condition of the
grade aud the country, as compared
with what it was when the grade,
built in 1890 was constructed.
Together with Mr.. Luud he has
just finished a careful inspection of
the grade from Milford here. He
stated that the grade is in almost
perfect condition from Milford to the
Summit, just over the State Line in
this county, but that in the Glover
Wash, both the grade and tunnels
have suffered from washouts and
cavings to such an extent thatit will
cost a material part of the original
expense to put them in any shape,
and for the present he doubted if it
would be done.
He expressed the belief however
that the grade would be utilized
for eighty miles, or to the Summit,
where grades for switches etc. ex-
ist, and that the work might be COM
menced this season.
This would bring Phoebe to with
in about Is miles of the terminus
travelling by way of Dry Valley.
1t would bring the State Line
county on the Nevada side within a
much nearer distance and would ma
terially assist the development and
opening of that section. The rail-
road company is looking for tonnage
and the Nevada end of State Line,
District contains the silver proper
ties which promise an enormous out
put and which need railroad facili-
ties to enable them to make it.
1t would stimulate further pros
pecting in the Bull Valley country
southeast of Summit, also, where
numerous mineral veins exist, be-
sides cheapening all supplies for the
Delamar country.

LIVING MUMMY IN PARIS.
French Physicians Examine an Ex-
traordinary Creature.

traordinary Creature.
The Academy of Medicine in Paris is
just now studying one of the most ex-
traordinary human beings who have
ever been born into this world, says the
New York Herald He is known as
the man mummy, and one glance at his
CHASTITY face and body shows that he de
serves the title.
This phenomenal being is named Cas-
tagna, and, according TO the civil regis
ter of Paris, he is now 2s years old.
weighs only 43 pounds. Even with his
clothes on he Is a most singular looking
obiect--a veritable lusus naturae. His
forehead is large, and over it is
stretched thick covering of rarch-
ment-like skin. His eyes, the muscles
of which are atrophied, are quite round
and are wide open, like the eyes Of
night birds. His nose, too, reminds t.de
of such birds, for not only is it entire
ly without flesh, but it is also curved
in the form of beak, dropping in this
fashion over a mouth in which the teeth
can always be seen, set together as
though in grimace. Altogether the
head and face are so uncanny and so
horrible that it is impossible to set
down anything like a vivid description
of them on paper.
His arms and legs are inconceivably
thin and slender. Bones and nerves
are pressing close against each other
and the tight skin holds them together
as though it were sheath of India
rubber The whole body, is, indeed, &
miracle of frailness and meagerness
end the wonder is that a good puff OF
wind does not blow it away,

School Closes.

On Friday last our school closed
for the present term. A number of
visitors were present in the after
noon to listen to the closing exer-
cises, which consisted of singing,
recitations, essays, etc. The child
ren acquitted themselves creditably,
the singing of the school was ex-
ceptionally good, which has only
been taught during the present
term, it being introduced by Miss
Evans, who was assistant to W. d.
Prewitt, but who has of late taken
charge of the entire school. The
vacation will continue during the
hot months, resuming about the first
of September.

An Unique Ordinance.

The city council of Pomona, Cal.
has passed most unique law gov
erning the sale of intoxicants. 1t
provides in substance that only two
saloons will be permitted in the
city, each to pay annually $1,000
license, and the proprietors to furn-
ish bond of $4,000 each, and they
must be bona tide residents of the
city. The saloons must be opened
from 6 o'clock a. m. to 10 p. M, six
days in the week. They shall have
no frosted windows or screens of any
description and the interior view
must be totally unobstructed. Only
one chair will be allowed in each
place, and that for the use of the
bartender. The law also provides
that if the wife, mother, sister or
daughter warns the saloon keeper
not to sell to husband, brother,
son or father any liquor, and he
continues to do so, his license shall
be revoked. There is also provision
that if any party dependent on Il
male person makes affidavit to that
effect and that the said person is
spending money for intoxicants, his
name must be posted up behind the
bar. Notwithstanding these strict
provisions several men have already
applied for a license to conduct a
saloon.

THE CHOICE OF PICTURES.
Cheap limitations Are UnsightIy and
in Poor Taste.

IN
Nothing is so quickly noticed by an
outsider as the pictures in your home.
and nothing else so well reTays the
thought and time expended in selection
Above all, do not buy cheap pictures
because they are cheap. Better that the
wall should be entirely bare than that
il should be covered with a miscel-
laneous lot of pictures which mean
nothing to you and are worth nothing
in themselves. The cheap picture,
bought usually at large dry goods
store, is a pretense to be something
better than it Is, and a very bad coun-
terfeit indeed, lithograph in lieu of
water color or cheap engraving in
place of good one. The frames on
these pictures arr never pretty, and
show their inferior material and work
manship in the most glowing manner.
| have found that the most satisfae.
tory way to procure a collection of pic
lures, especially if your purse is linn
tied, is 10 select the pictures unframed
and then have them framed to suit
yourself. You can then have the pic
tuita yOu lIlIuh must OI ana get frames
which harmonic with them.
Unframed etchings can be bought al
any art store, and those which are not
proof etchings, though, of course,
not the best, are very pretty and al
ways reasonable The printed name of
the etching beneath it is a sign of cheap
ness, so in having one framed always
cover up the title. Either have a mar
row frame of oak or other dark wood
set close around the picture or a mat
with wood frame. A mat in a soft
shade of brown which harmonizes with
the browns in the etching would be
effective, and with it rather wide
frame of plain oak or a narrow one with
open or beaded edge
Photographs are always satisfactory,
and one can get Photographic reproduc-
tions of all the famous pictures of an
cient and modern times at alm3st any
art store. 1t would pay one to spend a
day or more in looking over the col
lections OF unmounted photograph
which every dealer in pictures is sure 10
have.-Washingto Home Magazine

National Educational Associatio n Meet
inp

ing.
For the meeting of the National
Educational Association at Buffalo in
1896 the excellent service given by
the Union Pacific was commented
on by all those who had the pleasure
of using that line. This year our
educational friends meet in Milwau-
kee, Wis, July 9th to 9th, and
members of the association and
others from points west of the Mis-
souri, River, should by all means take
the Union Pacific.
The service of the UNION PACIFIC
via Omaha or Kansas City is the very
best. The equipment consists OF
handsome day coaches, Chair Cars
Pullman Buffet and Drawing Room
Sleepers, Dining Cars and Buffet
Smoking and Library Cars. Fewer
changes than via any other line.
One fare, plus $3.50 for the round
trip will be the rate from all points
west of the Missouri River for this
meeting.
For illustrated matter, folders, etc. !,
call on your nearest agent, or ad-

STATE LINE BOOMING.
Property Being Sold, Bonded and
Leased--A Mil to be Erected
The Killing of Billy Morgan
70 Be probed

STATE LINE, May %, 1897
Editor Record:
State Line will soon present a
scene of general activity all along
the line. Two-thirds of the Creole
mine changed hands to-day for a
consideration of $4,000 dollars,
and work starts on Monday that will
furnish employment to number of
the idle men now in clmp. The
purchasers are Jessee Knight Il
Bros. of Provo, Utah, practical min
ing men, whose energy aud push
will soon bring the property to the
front.
Denver parties have secured a
bond and lease on the Complication
mine owned by Kelly and others,
and have uncovered body of gold
bearing quartz that they think justi-
fies the erection of ive-stamp mill,
which they have purchased and are
now bringing in.
Judge Kellogg who has bonded
the Utah Spur mine, put a crew to
work yesterday on the property.
The Utah Spur is silver-bearing
property situated on what is known
as the Silver belt, and has the
largest body of quartz of any prop
erty in camp, and carries some very
high values. There is every prom
ise of big mine in it.
VIM. Jewell, while doing the as
sessment work on the American
Eagle, struck six-inch streak of ore
that assays 200 onnces silver and $S
in gold. The American Eagle joins
the Burro mine and is owned by
Jewell and Taylor
There is promise of some excite
ment for the coming week, as the
prosecuting attorney and a justice
of the peace are to arrive from Cedar
city to enquire into the killing of
Billy Morgan. They intend to run
down those rumors and mysterious
illusions made to the affair.
Justice McDonld has requested an
Investigation in his own aud Con
stable Lund's behalf, and those who
have circulated the rumors will have
an opportunity to tell their story
under oath. j.

The Episcopal services at the
Court House Tuesday evening were
well attended, everything consid-
cred. Bishop Leonard held forth
in his usual impressive style, though
feeling rather tired, having just ar
rived from DeLamar an hour prev
ious to the one for holding service.
The dates had been changed so
often and so many disappointmeuts
occurring that many did not attend,
fearing that it would be as several
times before, ono meeting on oc-
count of the Bishops non-arrlval. :.
The Court Room was handsomely
decorated with plants and flowers.
The choir gotten together for the
occasion did exceptionally well.
The Bishop is fluent and interest
ing instructor, and it was religious
feast for those who attended. Com
munion service was held at IL
o'clock Wednesday morning. The
Bishop departed for his home in
Salt Lake last evening.
Now that the DeLamar boys have
opened up new road across the
country to Carson, we presume mile
age to legislators and Others will
hereafter be allowed by the new
schedule instead of via Salt Lake as
heretofore. 1t will make differ
ence of about rs per cent. AS this
would be material saving Lincoln
might be permitted to have two As

McKinley's Bimetallic Policy in
Europe.

5oAOPSs
| If Mckinley can deceive the
American people by junkcting
expedition to Europe to ask Eng
land to change her policy and give
us back bimetallism, while he ap-
points from the inner circle Of gold
monopoly the Cages, the jordans
and the Roberts to control the
treasury department, he can not
blind the people of England with
his vacillating and good Lord,
good-devil policy. The following
dispatch shows that if Englishmen
can not understand jokes they can
see through transparent shams:
The Pail Mall Gazette this af-
ternoon publishes a long editorial
on the business and political out
look in America, in which it says
that no one but the most optimistic
American can see anything salts
factory or hopeful in either. Con-
tinuing, the Pail Mall Gazette crit
icises President Mckinley, who,
it says, instead of playing the part
of president, has been satisfied with
the role of a party man. President
McKinley's efforts for International
bimetallism are futile. If he is not
aware of this, he shows depth of
ignorance to which Presidents of
the United States seldom descend"
