boys who have once stated on life TIA,
pointed toward an evil ending canno,
be made good citizens. 1t was a good
deal of a venture at first, but every day
is now showing the wisdom Of the
movement. The electrical machinery
that furnishes the electric light for
this institution is practically operated
entirely by boy electricians, there b.
ing, OF course, several Instructors to
give the boys counsel and be present
in case of an emergency. When the
plant was first put in 1t furnished
1900 lights for the buildings, but thb
number was increased to over 5000
and the source OF light from a Is
horsepower motor to four 5-horse-
power, one 15-horse-power, one 10
horse power and two 2-horse-po
motors. The additional motors. with
the exception Of the 10-horse-power
were all designed and built at the
school by the boys, and all are giving
everyday service. These boys, most
Of them declared incorrigible When
they were sent to the school, set u
and aligned a 50-horse-power engine
They also changed the electric wire
from overhead to underground. and
conducted the operation with such
care that no shutdown of the plant was
necessary feat which would have
reflected credit on skilled electricians
The experience Of the boys is made IS
varied as possible. The repairing done
is as different as the many electrical
appliances call for. Every bit Of this.
except the repairing Of the testing In
struments, is done by the boys. This
includes repairs Of motors. the wiring
of chandeliers, the rewriting Of new de-
partments, caring for bell circuits, re-
pairs on arc lamps and the trimming
Of the same. Not only do the boys
perform all the work in the electrical
field proper, but all that is directly
connected with it also. This includes
engine work, caring for fans that are
run by motors, and the wiping and
cleaning Of machinery in the power
house. The cardinal principle Of the
instructors is to trust the boys. Much
Of the work is placed entirely in their
hands. With experience gained and
under proper instruction they Lave
handled many tasks entirely alone and
greatly to the satisfaction Of the man
agement of the school. The result Of
all this is that every boy whom q b
found has a bent in the direction Of
electrical work is given an opportunity
to develop along this line. The results
have been astonishing: and even now
a number OF the boys who went to the
school, hopeless and without ambition
bid fair to become electricians Of .
high order.

A young woman went into a large

quietly that having no home but the

when the Imagination is exhausted The
recent heavy snow and rain storm drove
a band of these hardy fellows into the
oil house of the Pennsylvania road al
Washington, D. c., and almost immedi-
ately storytelling was inaugurated. An
old engineer that had served his ap-
premiership on southern roads said:

Nashville & Chattanooga road at the
time of my story, and we left the lat
ter city at o'clock in the morning,
little late. II was an awful night; the
rain fell In torrents. while the wind
moaned and whistled through the
pines along the road. When we passed
around the point of Lookout Mountain

boughs crashed into each other, felt
more lonely than ever did before or
since. II you were acquainted down

trestle is a smaller one, under which
a mountain stream runs. Before we
reached the trestle I became perfectly
dumb, paralyzed with fear. I reversed
the engine and stopped 1t. It was an
unconscious act, and why 1 did It will

Thousand Heavenly VIolins-


William Hubbel, known as THE
Saint of White Hills" who lives alone
in an old tumble-down shanty on the
highway leading from Derby to DAN
bury, has been engaged for some time
past In making violins for the angels.
He has nearly one hundred violins in
course Of construction. He Is an ex-
pert woodworker. These instruments
are said to be finely constructed. Curio
hunters have offered the old man large
sums for one Of these instruments, but
no money consideration win tempt him
to part company with a single one Of
these violins, which, he says. are ex-
clusively for the use Of the angel band.
The Lord ordered him to build 1000
and, although he Is over seventy years
old, he is confident that his residence
here below is assured until after this
contract from the Lord Is fulfilled.

Park City, Oct. 16.-Much speculation
has been going on the past week con-
corning the rebuilding of the NJ. S.
Aschheim business block. and the gen.
eral opinion seems to be that some
thing is going to happen in that re-
spect. NJ. S. Aschheim, r. c. Cham
berS and other stockholders of the con-
Germ have had several consultations
this week, but it is understood that no
definite understanding has yet been
reached. 1t will gladden. the heart of
every ParlSite to see work commenced
on that structure, as it would fore
shadow the resumption of work to a
greater or less extent at the Ontario
mine.
The First National bank and Silver
King building will be ready for oc-
cupancy about next Wednesday. 1t is
modern structure and credit to the
city.
The new Dewey opera house is
rapidly assuming proportions, and will

menced on Thursday afternoon at 2
o'clock and continued until $50 last
evening, when it was given to the jury
who in two hours returned into court
with a verdict of guilty. Time of SEN
tence was fixed for Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock.
Cliff is one of the cattle thieves who
have been operating in and around
Midway. The verdict meets with gen

were fixed at 1000, and L.sing unable
to secure them he was turned over to

DEATH OF "TEX" WALLER.
Found Wealth In the Morning
Was Killed That Night.

Everybody who has ever been mixed
up in mines admits the fascination of
the business. There is a delightful I'M
certainty about it that only compares
with the uncertainty of life itself, says
the Butte Miner. An eXemplification
of this was seen last week in Butte.
The whole-souled Tex Waller on
Wednesday struck a rich body of silver
in the Silver King mine, situated near
Missoula Gulch. 1t is not often in these
days, with silver at such a low price,
that that class of ore can be worked at
a profit. Mr.. Waller, however, struck a
lead in the Silver King that is reported
to assay so ounces to the ton and to be
from 80 inches to five feet wide. The
lucky man was in high spirits Wednes-
day after the strike was made. He
estimated the value of the strike at
from S50,0G0 to over 800, 900 To his close
friends, however, he admitted that
there was no question that there was
$4,000 in it for him, though he believed
these figures were very conservative
Wednesday afternoon Mr. Waller re-
marked to a Butte newspaper man, II
have all the money now 1 want in this
world"
He had little idea then that his stay
on this earth was to be very brief.
Shortly after o'clock that evening he
was killed while being hoisted up out
of his mine. Tickle luck was lavish
with him in the morning, but left hipa
in a few short hours.

BIG DAM REMOVED.
Marysvale Reservoir Company Ig.
nored the Courts Order.

nOreQ the courts OrQer.
Especial to The Herald.)
Junction, Oct 15.-The district court
opened here yesterday, with Judge E.
V. Higgins of the Fifth district on the
bench, to dispose of two or three cases
in which Judge McCarty was disquali-
fed from sitting.
In 1895 the Marysvale Reservoir COM
pany expended about $25, 600 in the con-
struction of two dams across the Sewer
river in the canyon below Marysvale.
Since the completion of the reservoirs
the company has had no end of trouble,
and now the Marysvale Reservoir COM
pany is a thing of the past, as far as
property in this locality is concerned.
A. Blachette secured a judgment
against the company for 81, 457 for flood
ing his land, and got restraining or
der prohibiting the company from over
flowing the land in the future, and a
further order that the obstruction be
removed. All of which the company
violated, and it's members were fined
for contempt, and the obstruction (the
big damn was removed by special order
of the court.
The first case before Judge Higgins
yesterday was Frank r. Croker vs.
Marysvale Reservoir company ct al,
to quiet title to the land, and whether
the title will be vested in Croker or A
Blanchette was not decided, but was
taken under advisement by Judge Hig-
gins. Whichever way it goes, all the
land owned by the reservoir company
will go to one or the other of the above
parties.
The case of John r. Johnson vs. Otter
Creek Reservoir company has occupied
the courts attention today. The plain
tiff is suing for damage for flooding his
land. The defense denies any damage
and asks that ii be permitted to occupy
the land for reservoir purposes. The
case is still on trial.
Mrs. E. E. Sprague died on the 18th,
leaving a husband and four children,
the younger two weeks old
