Two cars were especially arranged
for sprinkling the track and the road

Tragic Incident nt Dayton,

Arthur Giles seat a bullet into his
chest from n 3S calibre revolver at
Dayton, Lyon county, this morning
with the intent to kill himself. He
had attended n dance at OdeOn Hall
i'll that town last evening and about
l:3O this morning escorted Miss
Brooks, Il young lady resident, to her
home n short distance from the hall.
After bidding her good night and just
as che entered the door of the Brooks
residence she heard the report OF a
pistol and saw her late escort fall
PROSTATE, from the effects of II self
inflicted wound, near the gate leading
to her home.
She immediately notified persons
in the vicinity OF the tragic incident,
and the wounded mGn was removed
from the place where he fell to Il
nearby house and made as comfort
able ms possible until the arrival Of IA
physician summoned from this city,
who found that the pistol ball had en-
tered the center OF the chest slightly
above the line Of the nipples. but its
course was not asccrtaiucd although
1t probably penetrated the lungs. As
there was no p~rofuse outward flow Of
blood 1t is likely that the hemmor-
rhage was principally internal.
The wounded man was conscious
and informed those about him that
tronble had caused him to commit
suicide-ap explanation Of which
would be found in a letter in the in
side pocket OF his coat-but he said
he would not allow its contents 20 he
made public unless his wound should
prove fatal.

would wish to have his relatives in

mortal. The patient, although SUI

There is no twilight, nc cleaning, no
interval whatever between daylight

ton, the sudden disappearance OF Il

OF flame color over all the western
sky for n few minutes, and a purple
haze in the east. Then the surface
OF the ocean, like tho heavens, is
lighted with millions of strange and
shifting stars, for the water is so i'm
pregnated with phosphorus that each
tiny wave is tipped with light, and
the foam that follows in the wake OF

Phil Frances, n contributor to the
columns OF tho Alturas Plaindealor,
sums up the political situation as fol.
lows:
The Republican leaders are afraid
OF Bryan. They talk big for public
effect. but they know too well the
magnitude OF tho trouble ahead OF
them. The next session OF Congress
will settle the Philippine question to
Ii great extent, md the conduct OF
affairs over there LRs been SO wcetcll:,
ed that expansionists are rs much
Disguised rs anti.cxpansionists-to
use the cant phrases OF the day. The
people have had dIeir eyes turned to
foreign affairs SO long that they are
becoming weary Of the whole sub.
ject. They will turn their attention
to internal affairs and when
they do the supporters Of Mckinley
are going to be kept busy explaining.
The Republican tariff has been III

We have ever had aud brings Ill least
revenue. Under it, i'll spite of oner-
Gus and unequal wal taxes. which are
still collected in time OF peace, the
treasury has become bankrupt, and
trusts have sprung up all over the
land. Tho last Congress appropriated
over a billion and u half dollars and
in spite Of it there Is Il deficit OF Il
million in sight, and it grows bigger
every day. The Philippines have
cost Us already s2O0,GO0,OO0 and we
have not got them yet. The immense

rosy accounts Of general prosperity

the prosperity OF the capitalists and

When General William Il. Sherman
was alive no was often greeted with
the shout, 1Culiber Fitty.four." Old
soldiers would shout it sometimes
without underst lnding its siguiti.
canoe. Its origin is well deserving Of
a place in history, especially as it
proves that eve the little drummer
boys who we're in the Held in the civil
war, like the late L. c. f. Ecelesinc,
often did rs efficient service us the
older boys.
@Cali6er Fifty-four" had its origin
at the battle Of Shiloh. General
Sherman was riding along over the
field, hurrying to get 70 his troops,
when be heard II delicate voice call.
ing: General Sherman, General
Sherman!" The old val hero stopped
and the boy piped ont:
Tho - Illinois Regiment is
over there on the hill holding the re-.
bells back as much as they can, and
they are all out OF ammunition and they
want some And then with rs much
volume OF voice rs he could muster
no shouted: "Calibcr Fifty-four.'
That was the most important OF the
message. for the wagon train might
have gone with loads OF ammunition
and il it hadn't been caliber tifty-four
it would not have been OF the least
use.
General Sherman got down Off OF
his horse to pat tho urchin on the
head and call him, IA noble little fell
low when he saw two or three tears
on the boys chek, and he said,
@There, don't cry, my little fellow, get
along back; for we are going to whip
them yet"
Il know that said the boy, shut
when l was coming over here to give
you tho Coloncl's message h rebels

calf OF his leg). | was crawling along

General arsisted the boy to the hos.
