TRADING WIVES.
An Agreeable observation-disclosures
Arrangement between
Two MexIcnns.

Some GO miles north of the CITY OF
Puebla, the table land, which is the
typographical mark of all central Mex
leo, drops OFF suddenly like the pitch Of
mansard roof. The treeless plateau
disappears and one descends through a.
winding barranca whose sides are
clothed with pines, and presently
emerges upon an open plain or sabana,
the hacienda Of Ochotonl.
We are in a great deer country now.
The wary game finds excellent feeding
in these open glades and perfect protec-
tion in the surrounding forests. It's
a region to make the heart of true
sportsman glow and to make his fingers
itch for his rife.
But game is not all which You find of
interest The old hacendado Il wish
] might tell you his uame) will open his
snguan doors with true Mexican hos
pitality. lie is as keen minded as he
is largc-hearted, and he will entertain
You with quaint stories of these primi-
tive people. For society here is yet un-
spoiled. The railroad with its innova-
tons is still many leagues away, and
human nature grows up here undis-
turbed. If you are very fortunate you
may hear him tell the following story,
which he told me not long ago. vouch-
ing upon his honor as a caballero for
its truth:
Among the thousands of poems en-
ployed upon the hacienda was one not
able for his laziness. lie was Joined to
woman who, though very pretty, was
as shHtless as her husband was lazy
These two Jagged through their tasks
together, making sorry work of it. Not
far from this pair lived another. The
man was the leader in the field, the
most capable of all the worlimen; the
woman, curiously enough, was OF like
character strong, energetic, capable
These two were always beforehand with
their work, while with the lazy couple
things went from bad to worse.
At last Light broke in upon the soul
of the lazy man, and he went to the
other with proposition: "See here"
he said, "you know that you are an cu-
ergetic man and that | am not. You
are always getting through with your
work, and l am never done with mine.
The fact is, my wife is no help to me.
II l had your wife and You had mine, |
should get along much better, and you
would be all right anyway, you are so
capable. Now, III tell you what I'll
do. l have nice fat pig down at the
house, fine fellow; il you'u swap IN
throw in the pig and call it bargain"
The offer was accepted. and the re-
adjusted four are now living happily at
ChOtonl--Forest and Strenm.

list commissioner, for in the three
years of his service there is not on
record a single protest of his against
any expenditure allowed by the
Board.
The foregoing are the plain facts in
regard TO the state and county
finances, and to the causes which
have combined to make a higher tax
levy necessary this year. And the
REGISTER begs to call attention to
the contrast between this detailed
and itemized statement and the vague
generalities of the opposition press.
The opposition papers cry: "Turn out
the Republicans because they have
raised the taxes, they have raised the
taxes" But they do not name II
single item in the bill of expense
which made il necessary to raise the
taxes and declare directly that it was
unnecessary or dishonest or that the
Republicans were responsible for il .
& Let them be more specific. Let
them name the appropriations by the
Legislature that should not have been
made,-and then let them explain
why a Populist Senate should not
share the blame with a Republican
House. Let them name the corrupt or
eNtravagant claims allowed by the
Board of County Commissioners and
then explain why they are supporting
for reelection this year member of
that Board who voted to allow every
one Of those claims. When party
which has shown its own incompe-
tency every time it has been trusted
with power, makes charges of mis-.
management against a party which
has conducted the affairs of this
county for forty years without even
the hint of scandal, the people may
very properly demand to b, shown.

Well Known Humboldt Man Killed by
a Most Singular Accident.

d. Witch was fatally injured last
Thursday while out hunting. He was
holding the gun loosely in front OF
him ready to fire when he should

both barrels were discharged at once.
The recoil sent the butt of the gun
against the region OF the umbllicus

A Rohbery. A Firht. A Snit


saturday night wac a wild night of
revelry for the restless. Mr.. Lhas.
Miller claims that while he was talk
ing to the grading crew down near
the stock yards saturday night he
was thrown down by two of the men
and robbed ofS3. 20. Later he found the
men at the santa Fee depot awaiting
the train which carried the crew to
Arkansas and asked one of them for
the money. a fight ensued in which
he came out best man. The Hum
boldt constable happened to he pres
ent and he ART tested the men and sent
to town for help. Bradley helped
make the arrests and had in charge
the alleged thief On the authority
of the police Judge who couldn't be
present he took a cash bond of SO
from the man to appear this morning
on the charge of fighting. The boss
of the crew paid the money and the
crew left on the night train, so there
was no trial today. Now Miller is
mad because the man got away and
threatens to have Bradley arrested,
him with taking $40 bribe
from the thief and letting him Off
AS the charge made was fighting and
he was acting on the advice of the
police Judge, Bradley seems to be i'm
nocent. Just the straight of the tale
can only be learned at trial and no
trial seems possible now.
ANOTHER ROBBERY.
The man Heeney, who was arrested
for evident drunkenness at the Santa
he depot saturday night, claims that
ne was robbed that same evening Of
$50 somewhere between the Hart
Livery barn and the depot. lie was

with light fingers and elastic con-
sciences. While drunk he lost his

was found on the head Of Chas. Mil
er, the other man who was robbed.
Nh Ter had bought it of youth here
N town and he returned it to Heeney,
and then they went to the Santa Fo
ards aud found Miller's hat where
ne had hung it in car. Suspicion of
his lattery robbery rested upon all
lola youth, but a search failing to
ocate the money he was warned to
cave for parts unknown or suffer the

Telephoning Around the World.

Thos. A Edison is ready to build a
telephone line around the world.
$50 far as invention is concerned, the
work Is done. II is not a question of
capital" said he 10 recent interview.
II have had this scheme Of circum-
terrestrial telephone circuit under
consideration since 1870, 1t involves
4 cable laid across the Atlantic from
New York to Southampton, probably,
aud after passing under the English
Channel, line via Paris, Berlin,
Vienna and ConstantinOple to Cal
cutta, India. Thence it would fOllog
the Chinese coasts TO Behring straits,
where, crossing to Alaska, it would
run southwark to San Francisco, and
thence back to New York"
Mr.. Edison thinks it would be
impossible to transmit sound through
continuous 5000 mile stretch of
water, and hence would take adj
vantage Of the shoals always to be
found sufficiently near the surface OF
the Atlantic, here and there, for the
purpose.
As for the money required, he is
afraid to name the amount. That it
would go into the hundreds Of mil
lions-perhaps biiliOns-is easily
imagined, but then, just fancy a
