Not Expect d to Live.

Louis Quanchi, a hay hand employed
by L. Aori, was struck by lightning last
Saturday. He was leaving the hay field
with a pitchtork on his shoulder. The
lightning struck the fork, split the
handle and ran down his body into the
ground. The electric current burned
Mr.. Quanchi's shoulder and hip, tore his
clothing to shreds and made hole in the
ground several inches deep. He was un-
conscious far an hour and a half. The
first Of the week he seemed to be on the
road to recovery, although still suffering
from the effects of the shock, but last
night wood was received from Gardner
Vile that he was much worse and un-
conscious. His body is badly burned
and the ska is turning black. He is not
expected to live.-COurier.

Home Printing.

Can the business men of Austin who
SEN away to other towns for their lob
work. blame any ~ for sending away
for the line of goods they carry? 1t is a
poor rule that don't work both Ways
Reveille.
The merchant who sends away for his
job work is always loser by it. There
are many men in every town who have
the home patronage idea so strong that
when they see a merchant collecting
home money on a bill head printed in
San Francisco they regard it as incon-
sistant and stop trading with him.
In the course of a year the losses the
merchant experiences in this way am
cunt to more than if he paid 800 for the
bill heads.

you to kill the both of them and dress

Doe then ambled out and in about an
hour came back and saw the two goats
the mamie and her kid, frolicking about
the place. "Did you understand me to
tell you to kill those two goats? Now
look here | want that done pretty -
quick. People all over the n%eighbor-

and grabbed a wheat stone.
He soon had a razor edge On it and
then followed the goats into the rear of
the stable where he caught the little kid
and got ready to cut its throat.
1t looked up and gave a queer human

Hon. II. ii. Beck, Reno. Nevada.
Dear Sir: | have your letter of the
first instant and i'll reply thereto. l desire
to say that I would regard the retirement
OF Senator Stewart from the Senate of
the United States at his time, as an If
reparable injury to the cause of bImetal-
lism. His great ability and experience
in the field of bimetallic discussion,
makes it absolutely essential that he
should he returned. know of no man
whose defeat would be a greater loss
than his. His loyalty to the cause of bi-
me1allism, his great experience and in
c0rruptlble character II opinions MAKE
1t absolutely necessary that he should be
retained in the Senate. OF course have
no personal interest in the matter. Ionlv
speak | now to be the truth and
what all free silver Senators feel. | have
been thrown very closely in contact with
hiUl, as have other bimetailic Senators.
and we have all learned to acknowledge
his great ability and statesmentship and
have al prOtited by his experience and
advice. Very Respectfully Yours,

next older set of girls buy their own
matinee tickets and chaperon them
selves. Won't our girls begin to
