The Maiden Was Mad.

Wednesday morning the town was
greatly excited over the story that one
OF Wadsworth's fairest young daughters
had gone to seek death in the raging
waters OF the turbulent Truckee because
of a slight misunderstanding in the
home circle.
A searching party was made up in
short order to scour the wilds and sew
eral hours later the damsel was found
seated on the moss covered, low lying
branch Of a cottonwood tree in u sylvan
scene where the gurgling waters caused
her to mediate upon the rashness OF
ending existence in the glorious spring
time of life-especially when the river
is so wet and 30 muddy.

One day last week a woman, 90 years
old, got off the train at Blue Hill station
to look for her brother, and within two
hours she had 20 offers of marriage.
She was s woman with false hair, bad
teeth, IA lame leg and a cataract in one
eye, and yet the crowd fairly swarmed
for her. and at shutdown she was mar
ried to a man worth $4,000. If there
are any other single women headed this
way let 'em stop off at this town, We
guarantee at least 80 offers of marriage
per day for a week, no matter what her
age or looks or physical condition. As

bands for 200 manageable women as
fast as they can descend from the stage,
and every man proposing marriage will
be worth at least $1,000. What Arizona
wants is 5000 more wives, and she

"found regret for the misfortunes Of our more

to congratulate Kansas upon the many simple

the failure Of great commercial institutions
brings sad calamity to the chief capitals.
whose misfortunes accumulate: that "while

assistance from our ready public bounty are
few: and that while the children in 1.-The Ma

unfed and unhouscd. Kansas finds ample house
room and school room for every Kansas child.
This is a very cheerful picture. painted by
Leedy in some Of the best language left over
