A Rising Lawyer.

The recent term Of court has
brought one young lawyer promi-
ksutly before the general public. We
b this place have known for some
tme that he was as good as the best
|oi them and now it is admitted by all
|xho have heard him that he is one or
khe coming lawyers of the state. The
|g.ntleman to whom we refer is Mr..
Aubrey Lawrence. He was attorney
|in most OF the important cases tried
|in the recent court and he was a
match for any Of them. Hamlln
county has a lawyer whom she may
DE proud Of. and readers, there is nc
need Of going outside Of the county
FOR legal advice. We congratulate Mr
lawrence on his success; he has fairly
earned IT by close application to the
work and study and his reward is sure

Cold Steel or Death.

"Tbere is but one small chance to
save your life and that is through an
operatiou," was the awful prospect
set before Mrs. l. b. Hunt, OF Lime
Ridge, Wis, by her doctor after
vainly trying to cure her of a fright
full case Of stomach trouble and yellow
iaundice. He didn't count on the
marvellous power OF Electric Bitters
to cure stomach and liver troubles,
but she heard OF it, took seven bottles,
was wholly cured, avoided surgeon
knife, now weighs more and feels
better than ever. It's positively guar
anteed to cure stomach, liver and KID
ney troubles and never disappoints

Easier to Preach Than to Practice.

One Of the strange and almost COM
ical things to be observed 10 the
habits of people in general is their
readiness to give advice In the case OF
bodily affiiction from which their
neighbors may be temporarily suffer
ing. They tell the afflicted ones just
what to do to cure themselves, when
they do not practice what they preach
nor pay any attention to the laws OF
health themselves. They eat and
drink to tickle their palates, I'LL their
stomachs with all sorts of food mix
lures just because they taste good, "
regardless of whether the stuff can be
digested or not, and then complain OF
headaches, constipation, sour stom-
| ach, fully half the time, then try to
cure themselves with some sort OF sell
prescribed medicine that does more
harm than good, never get any better,
but are always ready to tell neigh,
Dor just how to get rid OF the same
troubles. There are more people
running their health by foolish eating
and drinking at their own tables than
In any other known way, and more
people kill themselves in this way
than are killed by any two contagious
diseases known TO mankind. Not on'
person in a hundred has the courage
and decision necessary TO discontinue
the use Of any kind OF food or drinl
that they enjoy, though they know
that to drop them means improves
health, and that their continuanc
promises pain, debility and final pros
tration. Food will not support tn
body IL it is not digested, and natur
has made the laws Of digestion com
plete and perfect, and to violate then
simply means punishment, and tn
punishment is sure to come. Frof

The school and the Community


There remain three sorts of knowl-
edge and training that the school
ought to promote to marked degree.
One of these have to do with the con-
duct In the ordinary social relations.
The principles of practical ethics, not
merely for the sake ofintellectual per-
ception, but for the sake of their in
corporation into the very texture OF
character. should be one OF the fore
most concerns OF school life. This
fact has come to be very widely recog-
niZed.
Less widely accepted in practice, al
though now quite generally admitted
in principle, is the duty OF the school
to play some important part in lifting
the child for membership in the great
producing community. All schools
cannot teach the use even Of the sim
plest tools, and much less, therefore,
can turn out skilled craftsman. But
all schools can at least be so conducted
that they do not positively unit their
scholars for shosc very kinds of practi'
cal work by which it is certain that
the great majority must obtain theiI
uyipgs when their school days are
done. A successful country teacher
will not of necessity turn the dlstrlc'
school into an agricultural college
hut it is true, nevertheless, that th'
wise country teacher will so train the
boys and girls Of the district tha
everything they learn will, In th'
most important sense, ft them 10
being better farmers and househol'
economists.
: Finally, it mas come to be widei
admitted ameng teachers ana IN
+, friends of common-school educatlo
; that, in this country especially, Tn
7 schools ought to have a great deal I
! do with the important task OF rearih
1 Young citizens. 1t no longer neeo
r any argument to secure acceptant
D for the view that boys and girls In u

A Milking Machine.

Tests were conducted on the large
dairy farms around Sycamore last
week of milking cows by machinery,
which was pronounced success,
states the Rockford Register Gazette.
The machine consists of an air pump
worked by foot power, two pieces OF
rubber hose, and eight suction bulbs,
which surround the eight teats Of the
two cows to be MIXED. The eight
bulbs greatly resemble telephone re-
ceivers. They are nearly hollow, but
in one place a soft rubber band nearly
closes the opening. When the teat is
placed in the opening and the pump
starts, the suction causes the rubber
lining to closely surround the parts,
and the milk is carried to the pail
about four feet away. 1t requires but
three minutes to milk two cows, or at
the rate OF forty cows an hour. Speed
is not the only advantage, as there II
little danger of the teats becoming
sore, as the rubber surrounding then
is soft as silk. Cleanliness is another
great advantage. 1t ls very superior
to any milking machine ever before
placed on the market. The inventor

FROM our CoiiSoFohe
A new saloon has been opened up in
the Byrd building.
J.W. Marshall visited in Chloride
several days this week.
John Winkler is returned from
visit to the Colorado river.
John Huess passed through here on
his way to Ell Dorado Canyon. His
trip to California hot springs having
failed to benefit him he will try sui
phur mud baths at the canyon.
George II. Warren, bookkeeper for
the White Hills Company, made
brief trip to California last week, stop
ping at Kingman several days on the
return trip home.
One day last week five Of the ceie-
orators of last pay day started for the
river with four bottles of whisky and
two half gallon cans of water. The
same evening one of the number came
back with an empty can, but said moth
ing of the whereabouts of The others.
The next day another one of the party,
O'Brien by name, came In nearly
choked with thirst and reported his
three companions almost crazed and
nearly dead in the valley. Mr.. Scan
lon went out in search of the suffering
men but failed to find them. At day
light the next day AL Joscelyn, corral
boss for the White Hills Company,
with O'Brien for a guide, found the
three unfortunate men about five
miles from town. He brought them in
and they quickly recovered from the
effects of their trip into the desert.
Tuesday they again sailed forth and
succeeded in reaching FL Dorado Can
yon last night. They are headed for
Searchlight. This incident calls to
mind the fate of Shea, Rogers and Ma
guire, who started for Bonelli's Ferry
in the latter part of August, 1897. One
died in the big wash near Poison
Spring. The mail rider found Rogers
still alive and took him to the river,
where he died. Mcguire succeeded in
reaching the river none the worse for
the trip. The men had been drinking
heavily in the Hills before undertaking
the journey. 1t is well known fact
that liquor causes feverish condition
of the blood and no one contemplating
desert trip should ever indulge in
spirits on the journey or prior thereto.
Another old timer has passed over
the range. Finley McLennan died
at this place on June 18th. His death
was attributed to various causes, but
it is thought to have been caused by
paralysis. Mr.. McLennan came to
White Hills about two months ago
and had been employed by the White
Hills Company. He was taken i'll four
days prior to his death and immediate
never regaining consciousness. He
was given the best of care during his
illness by Frank O'Dea. Several years
ago Mr.. McLennan had an attack of
similar nature but after long illness
recovered. William ODea, who had
been partner of the deceased for
fourteen years, and William Bohne,
arrived from Todd Basin in time for
the funeral. Mr.. McLennan was
warm hearted, generous man and his
death will cause sadness among his
miner friends throughout the camps
where he was known.
