Formerly. until the practice was abol-

was followed by beheading, and this

more. There was one who was part
native, part Spanish, part French. She
was neither yellow nor black nor white

leaf In autumn, and she firted with
the eyes, like the Spaniard, and with
the fan, like the japanese. -,
It wasn't long, until Corporal Haze
was only at the camp at duty hours.
When the men of the First got around
and grtimbled at the climate. and found

The bodies were discovered by a neighbor.
Mrs. Temples body was burned to crisp.
The theory is that Temple held the pis-
toll so close to her that the fash from the
powder set her clothing on fire. His body
lay short distance from that of his wife,
and near It were the revolver and knife.
Temples barn was recently burned and
several Quarrels took place between the
couple over the disposition of the insur-
ance. It is probable that this was the d.
rect cause of the murder and suicide. Both

one suppose that because the Spirit came
in a special manifestation to the disci-
pies at Pentecost, he was not with them
before that time. The Spirit has been In
the world from the beginning, as we learn
from the Old Testament. He was with
the disciples Of Jesus from the beginning
of their faith, and manifested himself in
many ways previous to Pentecost.

but We see me-: they should see him
through his manifestation in the spirit,
quite as really as through their memories
of his earthly life. The tendency OF the
average Bible student Is not to fail to
distinguish the Holy Spirit as separate
"person" of the Trinity but rather to fail
to apprehend how closely the Son and the
Spirit are united in their common work
OF saving men. When Christians ade-
auateiy love ana worship Christ. they are

outlook is good for the starting up of the
smelters very soon. Necessary repairs
are being made, the crews have been en-
gagged and several carloads of coal lay
been received within the past few days.
A lot ef machinery for the mine has
just been received, iHcluded in whieh is

place the small one now being used
This is an indication that The sinking of
the shaft will be carried to even a greater

NEVADA'S EXHIBIT.
The Story of the Deal With
California Denied.

The Examiner of Sunday has the
following:
A story ioated over from Carson
City yesterday to the effect that Gov.
Sadler of Nevada, had discovered A
scheme by which Col. Maxon, one Of
the Paris Exposition Commissioners of
the Silver State, was to place part Of
Nevada's mineral exhibit with the Cal
ifornia exhibit at Paris, in return for "a
bonus and payment of his expenses to
the exposition. It was also said that
W. H. Mills of the Southern Pacific
Company was behind the scheme.
President Runyon of the California
Commission tO Paris denied the whole
story.
I'VE have had nothing whatever to
do with Nevada or its representatives,
or with any of the exhibits from that
State, . said Mr. RunyOn. Il never
met Colonel Maxon to my knowledge,
and we certainly have not entered into
any arrangement with him or any one
else to take any part of Nevada's min
eral exhibit and place il with ours.
There is no truth whatever in the
story.
The Southern Pacific exhibit at
Paris will have nothing to do with
ours. 1t will not be on the exposition
grounds, and will not be entered in the
competition for medals. We receive
frequent clippings from interior papers
some of which cen very DESTROYS OF
pointing out how much better the
Southern Pacific's exhibit will be than
ours, but we have no time to give any
attention to such comparisons. We
are very busy getting up the best ex'
hibit the State can produce. The
Southern Pacifc's display, in compar
ison with the main exposition, will be
Just as if SOme One county had come
down here during the Midwinter Fail
and opened an exhibit at the Palac,
Hotel
w. #. Mills also denied the truth o
the story from Carson City regarding
Colonel MaxOn and Nevada's miHera
exhibits.
There is no truth whatever in it,,
he said. There is no occasion 70
California TO buy or borrow any ex
hibits from Nevada.'
