Another whistle to Blow.

The new building at the Sierra Ne
vada old shaft was completed yester-
day and the hoist plant will be in
opeartiCn this evening or tomorrow
morning when retimbering the shaft
down to the 40 level will be re-
sumed. The shaft ls now repaired
100 feet below the surface leaving
only forty feet to be retimbered to
the station from where a northwest
drift will be sent out to explore the
downward continuation of the Riley
tunnel ore body. The extension of
this drift TO that point will require
about three months. Supernten-
dent Kyle says the whistle on the
new hoist plant will foot for the first
time this afternoon at 5 o'clock min

During the recent Bankers Con.
ventloD at Denver Senator Wolcott
entertained the entire party at his
country residence with a fete, the
splendor Of which is seldom equaled
in this day and age. The affair was
also used AS a means for raising
money for the benefit of Colorado's
volunteer soldiers. Thousands ut
tended and every public man of note
who put i'll an appearance was cheer
ed to the echo, but when some friend
proposed cheers for the host himself,
the apvstate friend of silver, not a re-
spouse was heard. And yet the writer
recalls the fact. made manifest on
many al OCCASION, that prior to his
surrender to the gold element OF his
party in 1896. Walcott was the most
popular public man in Colorado.

To b. Mustered Out.


Nevada was mustered OUT 81 the
HisPapio-American war today The
many brave lads who enlisted to do
service for Uccle Sam will all return
to their RESPECTIVE homes. This
morning Governor Sadler received a
telegram from General Corbin at
Washington authorizing him to have
mustered ont at the place of their en-
hstment all troops or, organizations Of
volunteer soldiers as soon as conven-
lent and return al. arms and. equip.
ments to the keeping Of the State,
This order includes the troopers
who are designated as Troop NJ aud
are now in Florida under the com.
mand o: Captain Cor ana the troop
ers in San Francisco under the COM
mand of Captain Linscott. They
will be returned to Carson at the ex-
pense OF the Government and mug
tered out. The Nevada Battalion,
now at Treadway's Park, will also be
mustered ont a soon as a m~ustering
officer arrives with a paynla ster.
The Governor was also in receipt
or instructions as to now to proceed
with the orders. and from a persual
OF them it seems that some little time
will be required before the eventful
day arrives. Nearly the same cere-
mony that was gone through with at
the time Of their being mustered in
will have to be repeated. Each mem.
Der Of the several companies will
have to undergo an examination sim
liar to that prior to their being ac-
copied.
The Government provides for this
in Ease pensions should be asked for
any injuries that may have happened
during the term of their service.
The soldiers at Camp Clark are very
hilarious over the prospects of having
their liberty restored to them.
This morning, when the lew reach
ed them, a process Of yelling was in
augurated that was heard around the
valley. They we're all pleased, as
camp life has grown exceedingly mo
notorious and tiresome. The officers
accept this as final, and have little or
nothing to say. The process Of mus
tering out will begin as soon as the
proper officers arrive. The News was
unable to get any infor nation as to
when they would get into Carson, as
no instructions Of that nature had
reached headquarters .-News.

THE RAILROADS,

Not a great while ago the general su-
perlntendent OF motive power Of one Of
the largest railroad systems In the
northern part Of the country happened
to visit Baltimore. Being OF cour-
teous disposition, he called on Balti-
more & Ohio motive power officials to
pay his respects, and he was given an
opportunity to see the new locomotives
that have been purchased during the
past two years. He devoted ~ great
deal OF his time to an inspection Of the
monster ten-wheel passenger, engines
that are used between Philadelphia and
Washington and Baltimore on the six
ty mile an hour Royal Blue trains.
" men he was ready to depart. he turned
to one Of the company's officials and
remarked:
II have always been of the opinion
that there was nothing on the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad that was worth
patternlng after, but am very frank
to say that have seen to-day the most
advanced types Of locomotives In the
country. know OF no railroad In the
country whose motive power Is equal
to yours.
Within a month after his visit to
Baltimore this official ordered a number
OF locomotives, only stipulating that
they should be built after the plans OF
the Baltimore & Ohio engines.

The friends OF Henry selbert one OF
Ohio county's be1t known turner's, whose
farm Is on the National pike between
Elm Grove and Roney.s Point, were
shocked yesterday when they heard OF
HE tragic death. which occurred at his
home and in the presence OF his family.
Recently Mr.. Seibert purchased a
medical preparation, "Beef. Wine and
Iron," for use by one OF his daughters.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. setoert had also
taken the medicine occasionally. Yes
terday morning Mr.. Seibert took a dose,
then ehaved himself and. shortly after 3
o'clock, went to the medicine closet for
the purpose If aga!ntalsing the medicine,
Unfortunately, Mr.. selbert made q fatnl
mistake; instead OF the medicine he took
n generous dose OF carbolic acid that
was kept in bottle resembling that
containing the medicinal preparation.
He realized his terrible mistake. and ran
out to the front OF the house where his
wife and children were seated, and ex-
claimed:
II have made a mistake; took car
bolic acid
OF course there was CONSERVATION, but
Mrs. Seibert exhibited great presence OF
mind, and lost no time in preparing
some milk and eggs which was adminis-
tered the suffering man in the hope that
he would be able to eject the poisonous
dose from his stomach. This, however.
was without avail, and when Mr.. Sell
bert tried to provoke election by placing
his finger dDwn his throat, but again
without avail, and ten minutes later he
had suocumbec to the effect Of the
poison.
Henry seibert was in MS forty-sixth
year, and came to America In early
youth. He was a native OF Hunger In
Germany, was married and had three
children, boy Of sixteen years and two
daughters younger. He was a brother
of Charles Seibert. OF Pleasant Valley.
