Drowned in a Ditch.

Near Fallons in Churchill county on
the Charles Mills ranch on July 4:h
occurred very sad accident by which
Mr.. Mills lost his fourteen months old
son. The baby was gone about twenty
minutes before an alarm was sounded
and all hands turned out to search. An
irrigating ditch runs close to the house
aud events prove that the baby crawled
from the house, fell into the ditch and
the body was carried to the river and
deposited on sandbar about a hundred
feet away where it was found by Will
Mills. The funeral took place the fol-
lowing day and the little one was buried
near the ranch.

A Serious Break.

The ringing OF the fire bell at at 5
O'Clock yesterday afternoon brought an
immense crowd to the corner of G and
Taylor streets, where it was seen that
the supply pipe for the Risdon pump at
the G. & G. shaft had bursted and a
tremendous volume OF water was shoot
ing into the air. The great pressure
forced the water to heighth Of over
100 feet and carried up with 1t earth,
rocks and old pieces of wood. The
water running down Taylor street re-
sembled miniature river and there was
danger OF several houses being washed
out. The water was shot into the air
aud over heresi3ence OF Tom Dick on
D. street where several panes of glass
were cracked, and Mr.. Dick had to place
boards over his wiRdows to prevent
them from being mashed by the show
ers of gravel which were constantly be-
ing carried into the air by the escaping
water. The rear end of the stone build
Ing on the south side of Taylor street
received the greatest force of the water
and for while it was thought that the
upper corner would be washed ont.
The water was finally shut off and

SHE WAS KISSED.

The reporter who dropped in for a
chat Sunday afternoon could hardly
identity the party in charge. There was
a departure from the regular order. A
COB OF epidermus had departed from the
lower lip rather forninst the chin.
| Without forethought and governed en-
tirely by desire for her welfare and TO
spring private recipe We asked how It
had happened. She said kissing bug
had happened. Maybe new name for
him but he works in the shop. Perhaps
she meant hemipetrus.
Scientists laugh at the name OF "Kiss-
ing Bug" But If you ask them about a
hemipterus they know what You are
talking about. That is the name of the
family to which kissing bugs belong. In
fact, all kissing bugs are hemiptera and
all heniptera are kissing bugs. Henri
ptera means ''half- winged and the in
sects are SO named because OF the pecu-
liar construction of their flying appar-
atus. kissing bug" is local or collo-
quial term. In some places the pests
are known as "plant bugs They do
not sting as does the wasp or hornet,
but simply dig their proboscus into the
flesh, leaving there little poison. The
point Indicated forninst the chin being
favorite.
In the tropics kissing bug often
grows to be three of or fonr inches in
length. They are very venomous there,
too, and their bites frequently result in
death. In temperate countries the
bug is neither so large nor 80 venomous.
But few serious results follow from their
attacks.
The kissing bug is not a malicious
beast, but it is exceedingly pugnacious
and vengeful. If it alights forninst the
chin it does not bite until it is molested
by the hand in attempt to pass it to the
lips.
4. Professor Ashmead OF the Smithsons
ian Institute Gays of the kissing bug
that it will be noticed on examination
that the wings OF the insect are half
membraneous and half corriaceous.
Bear this in mind. 1t is very comfort
ing to a person whose lower lip forninst
the chin has been bitten by kissing
bug until it resembles an overripe
squash, to know this. He says that the
hemiptera family and goes under the
general name of reduviiae. When
kissing bug alights on the lower lip
forninst the chin and blows it up SO
your best fellow has to take his from
the back of your neck it will be a conso-
lation to know that it's family name and
Christian name are built on such large
dimensions. However the patient is
convalescing rapidly.
