Popular Estimate too High.

Probably in every case Of popular es.
innate OF the wealth OF rich men there
is a great exaggeration. The complete
inventory OF the Fair estate has, after
eleven months search and valuation,
been filed, and shows that the estate
is worth little over twelve and q
quarter millions OF dollars. Yet there
was no previous estimates which fell
short OF $50, 10000 In nearly every
case it is noticeable that the rea
wealth of miIlionaires falls much be-
low the popular estimation.

He DID PLAY TIE DEVIL.

A dispatch from Bourbon, Ind,
says: Rev. Mr.. Akin, pastor of the
flock of Bethel Church on Sunday
night took for his theme, ellis Satanic
Majesty" He is an eloquent man
and he painted the arch fiend in vivid
colors.
At the climax OF the description q
being. dressed to represent devil,
with large head and switching tail,
ambled up the aisle. blowing smoke
from its nostrils and believing: 81
am the Devil, and l want all OF you"
The audience became panic stricken.
Men, women and children were
hurled to the floor and trampled upon
in a mad rush for the door. In the
confusion the stove was upset and the
building caught fire. Before the Eor-
rified members could regain their
senses. the fire had gained such head
way that all attempts to save the
building we're in vain.
This morning George Akin, son OF
the pastor, confessed that he, in COM
pany with other boys, rigged up a
devil suit, and, knowing the subject
of his fathers sermon, concealed him
self behind chair and awaited the
arrival of the audience.

THE PECK BROTHERS.
How They Cost Some People q Lot
of Money.


A number Of people in Nevada are
cursing the bitter end OF experience with
the advent and departure OF the Peck
brothers.
About two years ago the Peck Bros,
Of Chicago. came to this State and an
nounced that they had new process for
treating tsilings. They appeared TO have
q big thing and had no trouble in getting
backing. Their idea was that they would
save about 93 per cent of the value OF the
metal, and Of course there are numbers
Of people in this country who are sll the
while on the lookout for something that
will save big per cent OF gold or silver.
John Mscksy was so taken with the
new process that he sent one of the bro
theirs to South Africa and ID cost him
about SOS, 900. He is not sending any
more Of the brothers there now.
John p. Jones considered the Peck
process . good thing and he pushed it
along. but how much he dropped in the
venture is not known. but IL was con-
siderable.
Even old Joe Douglas, reckoned ss one
Of the closest fgurers and shrswdssi
tnanciers in NevAda, got in to the tune
Of s44, 900. Several other Dayton people
got in for various amounts, but they are
keeping their losses very quiet.
When the Peok's opened up at Dayton
the town went wild and gave them big
reception with several extra kegs OF beer,
aud the Peek's in turn gave ice cream
and sponge cake blowouts to the sociA
whirl in Dayton and became very pop
ulAr.
Some little CArson capital also went
into the Peck process and didnt come
out.
The smoothest piece OF work was wher
they worked the Rock Point tailipgs
There w.s about Ia 600 tons OF the stuff
valued at about slS Q ton. They goi
Dousls. to put up e mill and when they
got through working they were good
enough to leave Douglas the mill.
II seems that whenever Q stranger
comes into Nevada he is always sure oi
good responsible backing.
The Peck process Of working the stunt
is said to have no. been much bettel
than as per cent proposition. but in
working shoir hackers they got all th'
metal there was in sight,-Carson Ap-
peal.

rallied 20 neat tho Tax.

The English papers tell of an old
man who failed in his attempt to es-
cape the death duties act by transfer
ring all of his property by deed or
gift to his wife. In the ordinary
course OF events he was not expected
to survive her, but she got killed on
the hunting field, and then it was dis
covered that she had left will giving
everything to former lover oi
hers. The lover, however, was q de-
cent sort OF chap. and settled an annu'

sCRIPTURE FOR AN ATTORNEY,

When Uber was lynched his relatives in
the East wrote 10 All. Chartz his attorney,
for full particulars. The attorney busted
him self In the case good deal, and as his
uncle was quite wealthy 1t was supposed
that money would be spent lsvishly to
bring the offenders to justice and in Grim
insl and civil suits for damages. As soon
as the relatives asoertsined that civil suits
would cost some money they concluded
they were in no hurry to bring them.
The relatives Of Uber are very religious
people and here are some extracts from
letter received the other day from Uber's
sister
1.-THE Lord has saved me from all feeling
against them, There is no thought In my
hear. Of that kind. The Lord has filled
my soul with love and good will TO every
body and can pray for these fellows who
murdered my brother.
"Please read Matt. 8; "a.
Romans, /; 10. 20, 81.
"I will admit that do not know very
much. See 1st Corinthians, /; a."
| In another letter the attorney is advised
to get his reward In heaven for his pas
services 10 Uber. The above is but few
samples of many from her letters, and
whenever Chartz. ths attorney, goes tt
the postofice he packs . bible in hii
pocket in order to be able TO decipher th'
meaning Of Miss Uber's letters. Esci
letter contains . tract published by sh'
Gospel Trumpet Publishing Company
which he is advised TO read carefully

Sam Davis has finally found one
thing that the calendar clock safe is
good for. He says he purchased one
during the boom OF that piece of kit
chen furniture, but after repeated
trials found that when one wanted Gin
namon he would get pepper. and
coffee would run out OF the salt hole,
etc. The clock was either two hours
behind or as much ahead OF time and
most OF the time wouldn't run at all.
At Thanksgiving, however, its useful
ness was suddenly discovered. Sam
raises lot OF turkeys on his Holstein
ranch near Carson, and the holiday
season gave him an opportunity tc
dispose of many of them. A scale
was needed and Sam happened to
think OF the scales in the kitchen safe
and utilized them. The more turkeys
that were weighed the weaker the
spring became, until a ten pound tur-
key would pull the marker down to le
pounds. Sam made calculation and
found that he had not only sold his
turkeys at full weight, but the scales
had, by showing extra weight on 9
few of the birds, paid for the safe and
added to Sans profits.

Compressed Flour

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The
importance OF lightness and compact
ness in the kit OF soldiers has stimu-
lated the manufacturers of army food
stuffs to produce all manner of con-
centrated products for use on the
march or in camp. OF these the
latest is compressed -four, which is
now being tested by the British War
Department. The objection to the
establishment of national granaries is
the impossibility Of storing wheat for
any length of time. The grain soon
terminates and is ruined. The -four
is now nodded into bricks by hy-
draulic pressure, in which shape it is
unaffected by damp, is mold-proof
and is sweet and wholesome.
The compression is said to destroy
all forms Of laval life, and the -four
becomes immune against the attacks
OF insects. Since the cubic space oc-
cupied by 100 pounds Of loose -four
will hold more than 300 pounds of the
compressed -four it will be seen that
the saving in storage is enormous.

The Birth Of "Greater'' New York

With the dawn OF the new year the
"Greater" New York is ushered into
the world a full grown giant. The
problem of municipal government is
to be put to the supremest test. With
in its limits is contained population
equal to that OF thirteen OF our SOW
ereign States at our last census. and
as numerous as that of the original
thirteen States. Provisions for the
life and health OF this vast multitude
of all nations and climes is an un-
solved enigma. Thousands OF suffer
ers in New York and elsewhere are
wrested from the grasp of that agoniz-
ing complaint, rheumatism, by the
timely use OF Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which is preventive of malaris
and kidney complaint, and a curative
OF liver complaint. constipation and

lNDIA's SILVER INCREASE.

India continues to buy silver on large
scale. Notwithstanding the limitations
enforced by year Of bad crops and fam
inc in certain districts, says the Engi-
neeripg and Mining Journal. The ship.
ments from London to the British East
Indies for the eleven months ending with
November are officially given at f6.0l7.-
lG5 this year. against GA. 529, ,624 in 1896.
showing an increase Of 30 s per cent; and
at the lower prices Of the metal which
have prevailed this year the increase in
the actual quantity Of silver must have
been 10 per cent at least. On the other
hand. the shipments from London to.
China this year have been only f4l0, ,597.
or f35S, ,054 less than in 1896. This has
been partly made up by larger exports
from San Francisco directly. and by ship
ments from Australia. Nearly ell the
silver from the Broken Hill mines now
goes TO China instead OF London.
