anu what ne saw just uhen was nOt u
jest.
Perhaps it was because he had no
fatuatesl with the childhood of Do
rothy, his Mutse daughter, and Paul,
his still smaller son. If they created
an imaginary playmate he had to have
an introduction, and would wander
the feds with this imaginary friend
and his wn little ones. Since neith-
er of his babies have reached the let
tered age, he taught them to send
him 'picture-letters," iT which they
conveyed their requests by means of
drawings. They inspired some of his
mpst delicate work, and their happi-
ness was a continual source Of joy
to him. One of the happiest days he
spent this summer was in the COM
pany of a number of children whom
he had invited out from the city to 60
violet hunting with him on the banks
of the Des Plaines. lie was as pleased
over his home as a child over a doll
house, and was forever trying expert
ments with the hammer and the
brush, nor was his labor to his satis-
faction till he had invited his friends
to behold the work of his hands and
heard their expressed admiration. He
was exceedingly fortunate in that he
married at am early age Miss Eva Nc
Donaugh, his first sweetheart. She
also has been the cause of much of
his loveiiest versification, not the
least charming of which are the poems
he wrote concerning her when he was
trying life in San Francisco for a time.
But he finally concluded that two
mountain ranges and a world of plain
were too much to have between I'm
and her, and SO he threw up good
position and returned 20 OmaIla,
where she lived.
He was n man of action, not of re-
Election, and though he carried the
burdens of many he did it with a
jOcuEd spirit. When he met with mis-
fortune he took it by the hiouns and
wres,tied with it. His writing was
rever phiiosophic. He took things as
they were, without comment, and his
mind was a faithful camera, which re
produced all about him, and in ..-JII
reproduction preserved the most deli
cute standings of human emotion. He
reveled i'm life, and it is unspeakably
bftter to think of his unuvailfng rage
at death, which, stronger than HE,
took him i'm an unguarded moment
aasd wOrsted him. A:ack, what will
so gay a split do in lne silent halls of
death VIII not those strong and rest
Less young feet awake unsee1mly
echoes there?

Old Irish Linens

Have won name and place for themseles. The
John S. Brown & Son S ''Shamrock" brand has
a score of medals at fairs and expositions all
the world. They carried off medals at Bel
fast in 1884 and 20, London 185l-62-7O, Paris
1867, Dublin 1852, Philadelphia 1876, Chicago
1893, and they have fine exhibit at the Trans
Mississippi Exposition; we handle them exclusive
ly in Lincoln. They will stand ary test, and it's
a pleasure just to touch their glossy surface, to
trace the beautiful patterns land to know that
they come across the sea from green old Ireland.
They are made from purest courtrai Irish flax,
spun and woven by Ireland's fairest daughters
and bleached in the clear sunshine that lovingly
kisses the ''old sod" The odd and dainty pat
terms sketched by some of the most noted
Irish artists, who have no equals in this DAINTY

Justice. The telegrapher WAS IN an
other town at dance. Back at
Omaha the front page OF the paper
was being held for the lynching
news, and the managing editor walk
ed the floor and wondered if Smith
was going to ''fall down." At 1880
fine report came with n rush, ard it
was only when the Westerm Union
made a protest against the unauti,or-
ized use of it's wires that 1t transpired
that Smith had broken open the door
of the telegraph office and sent the
message himself.
When the histomic trouble at Jacl
sons Hole was giving the western
military posts am excuse for existence,
saddle in his life, bought horse at
the outposts of civilization and rode
forty-eighlt miles in a hOwlfng bliz-
zard with Gen. Coppinger and his
staff. Tthe officers bore evidence
that he never once murmured, though
at the end of his journey, when he
was lifted from his saddle, he was
rigid. During the Pine Ridge disturb
ance he was the first man to present
the Indians side of the case, and IN
doing so incurred the dislike of every
white man, the newspaper fellows ilr
cluded, around the agency. He showed
up the cupidity and treachery of the
suffers and agents., and aroused inter-
est all over the country fin the revolt
of the hhlf starved Sioux As Ia re-
suit the Indians were placed under the
charge of UHfted States troops, who
would not include starvation i'm their
discipline.
1t was a pecuIian'ity of Mr.. Smiths
that wGlen a big piece of work was
to be done, such as the reporting of
a state convention, he preferred to do
it alone, though other newspapers
had four or five ,mth ON the assign
ment. On such occasions he carried
with him "a small typewriter, which,
in spite of all objections, he placed
where it would do him the most good.
On one occasion a parade-day politi-
clam said: ''You are disturbing the
convention, sir
Convention" cried Mr.. Smith, still
working at his little machine. ''What
is convention without an audience?
Why, you understand all about ut
yourself, Mr.. -, 1 am making am
audience for YOU"
He was certainly Cne of the swiftest
workers who ever sat at n reporters
desk; but he did MOT make a good
editor. He was too restless ard too
greedy for good assignments. He
could not endure vegeta,ting in the
office while history was waiting to
he written anywhere in r1re locality.
AS reporter he failed in his mission
only once. A genial young :nurderrr.
who had killed an old man and
woman by their own haystacx, was 10
De hanged, and the papers were lu'lic-
rously sentimental over him, imagin-
ing that his incognito concealed a GER
tain respectable and not unknown pat
ronymic. By means of the previously
mentioned genialfty he had made
friends with the newspaper men, who
entertained not very well defended
doubts of his guilt. Mr.. Smith sug-
gested placing a wire in the stockade,
which, connected with the office,
would place the news of the execution
in the possession of the paper without
a seconds delay BY this means tie

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

The smelter at Rollins, near Critten- den, will soon start up again on ores from near Harshaw.
 J. H. Best, representing the Beam process for the reduction of ores. has gone to Denver on business connected with the erection of plant.
 Prof. Geo. W. Maynard of New York is in Tucson. Prof. Maynard is one of the most distinguished mining men of the country. It is understood tuat he is in the territory looking after copper prospects.
 The ore of the Klondike mine, in Mohave county, is in the nature of spar, but the gold being free admits of amalgamation on plates instead of making it necessary to submit to the more expensive banning method in vogue in other parts of the county.
 The mines of Cedar district, in Mo have county, chief among which is the Belle McEiroy, are showing up most gratifyingly. The mine named has a Blakely five-Stamp mill on it, the gold being susceptible to treatment by anal gamation and concentration. The 1SO- foot shaft is in ore all the way down which exists in larger quantity and oi better quality in the bottom than else where. inc propery has been recently examined by experts, for parties have under consideration the purchase of it

GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION

s"There is one matter that should re- ceive attention at the hands of the coming Mining congress at Salt Lake'
 said W. c. tardee at the Brown Palace hotel yesterday, ''and that is the pro- vision by law of some method whereby accurate statistics of the production of the precious metals may be secured by the government. Under the present system our estimates of production are very largely guesswork. The estl
 mates of the director of the mint are as nearly accurate as can be obtained, but even in these the gold and silver sold for manufacturing purposes IS es- umated, and leaves a wide margin De- tween actual results and the estimated production. In Canada every mine owner is required to make a sworn statement of his actual production ana file the same with the proper official. I do not know that this system couId be adopted in this country, put there is one way in which we could come very much closer to the production of the country Iuan we now do. Practl- cally all of the gold and silver goes to the mint or to the express or other transportation companies. We have an accurate knowledge Of all that reaches the mint We do not know what passes into the hands of the ex- press companies and foreign steam ship lines, except as they choose to make statements more or less 1naccu- rate. I think that law should be passed requiring each transportation company or steamship line receiving bullion to demand from the shipper a cerl,ncate of the smelter or assayer showing the contents of the bullion in gold, silver and base metals, the con- slgnor, the consignee and the money value of each metal, and deposit that certificate at once in the nearest mint CT government assay office, to be for warded to the mint at Philadelphia.
 Il ne only thing then remaining to be done would be the calculation of such items as had been already re- ported from other smelters and their elimination from the sum total. The certificates should show in all cases whether the bullion came from the original producer or from mill or a smelter. With such a system the only loss would be the comparatively ins1g- nificant amounts sold by miners di- rectly to jewellers, or carried about in their pockets. This would be very small, as most miners who produce anything of consequence prefer to sell it to ..4e mint or to some responsible bullion Droker. I hope that some one will bring this matter up in the Min ing congress.-Denver Republican.

= can do is wait for orders. Everybody seems to be anxious to get to the front and I guess there is no doubt but what we will be railroaded into Cuba as soon as it is possible.
 Galveston is 400 miles from here and we are to ride it on horseback, SO as to get used to riding and drilling. Yes terday and today we had to march in line about four miles on the roads.
 Everybody seems to take great in- terest in the drills and all seem to be catching on. We have guards posted and no man dares leave the camp or pass the guards without a pass, under penalty of imprisonment in the guard house. Several of the boys have served short terms already.
 I have only been in San Antonio twice since I have been here. I like the town very much. There are some very nice buildings and some nice stores, butt for size I have seen noth- ing surpassing the stores of Phoenix.
 A favorite yell among the boys is Soldier, will you work?" and if the answer is No" then the one first call ing says, "Eat him up, lice," or else the fellow answers, "No, I will pawn my shirt"
 The people of Prescott gave us a mountain lion as mascot and this attracts quite good deal of attention. At Fl Paso the boys stole a little dog, which they have Christened Cuba" and the New Mexico boys brought along three or four more dogs, so we are well fixed for pets. We also have two pack trains consist ing of 189 mules shippsd here from St. Louis, Mo, and about thirty men with them who are professional pack CTS.
 It is now getting dark and the boys are all gathering around in a group ready to sing. We have some fine singers with us and every night the large exposition building which we occupy resounds with the old patriotic songs.
 Oh, yes, we are encamped on the old state fair grounds and are quar- tered in the large exposition build ing which will quarter about 2,00O persons, suppose. The Fifth regi- ment of United States regular cavalry stationed at Fort Sam Houston has UCcu OIucTSu LO (N6W OTlcdQS ana the rumor this morning is that we will oc- cupy their old quarters. If we do, we will probably live more like white men. The truth of the matter is, we don't know what We are going to do. This morning at breakfast one of the men grabbed up wash pan that was setting on a table and started oil toward the hydrant to wash his face, when the cook jumped up and ran wildly after him crying, Here, bring that wash pan back! That is our sugar how'll" and sure enough it was.
 We'll, I guess I have told yoh all I know, so I will come to halt right here.
 Good bye to everybody. Let every one of the boys read this, and I would be pleased to hear from all of you soon. Nothing makes a fellow feel quite SO good on a trip like this as a letter from home. Love and best wishes to all.

'CHE MOST FAVORABLE
SEASON.

To cure catarrh is in the spring.
During the winter the patient is like
ly to take fresh cold and have set
back But if treatment is begun in
the spring and continued into the
summer, nothing need be feared for
succeeding winter. OF course, it all
depends on the medicine. There are
a great many. catarrh medicines
which relieve the most disagreeable
symptoms temporarily. Pe-ru-na
cures more slowly but also more per-
manenty than this class of medicines.
A course of Pe-ru-na during the
spring will cure catarrh more quickly
than at any other season. Mr.. Wal.
ter H. Tucker, Concord N H., writes
DIR. Hartman as follows: "When 1 be-
gan taking your medicines four years
ago was suffering with chronic ca
tarrh. had taken nearly two dozen
bottles of a so-called catarrh cure
without much relief Pe-ru-na cured
the night sweats and dizzines; it cur
ed the cough [ have had from my
cradle; l can say it saved my life"
DIR. Hartman has published in
book form a series of lectures on
various phrases of chronic catarrh,
which he calls "Winter Catarrh.' -
