compliments to the jackpot, and con-
tinued: ''Now. my idea is that the
stove heats the room better there than
on the floor. It is only cooking stove,
to be sure, but when the winter is cold
it makes this room comfortable. Being
up in the middle Of the space it heats it

The doctor greeted this theory with
loud laugh. Colonel he said, ''you
are wild-'way off the mark. Hot air

The judge, who had been listening to
the opinions offered by the others with
the same grim smile that occasionally
ornmented his face when he announced
that an objection was overruled, now
stepped forward and dropped a coin on
the table. He then rendered his de-
cision as follows:
''It appears that none of you have

Fatal Accident.

Robert E. Lee and Henry Cirac
arrived this afternoon from Dayton.
They brought news of tragic acct
dent that happened at Buckland's
ranch yesterday evening in which
Jack Beeman lost his life.
Beeman, who was working on the
threshing machine, at the ranch, had
finished the days labor and started
for home, riding one horse and lead
ing the other. Tho led horse took
fright at something or other and
started off, dragging Beeman from
the back of the other horse. Both
horses still had their harness on and
Beeman's foot became entangIed in
the harness OF the frightened horse
who dragged him about hundred
yards before the horse could be stop
PED and the man extricated. It was
then perceived that he had received
terrible injuries. Owing to the late
ness of the hour it was impossible to
get medical assistance, but this morn
ing at dawn party started for Day
ton, about 20 miles away, conveying
Beeuan Ill wagon. His internal
injuries we're so serious, however,
that he expired when about 10 miles
of the journey had been completed

Which Was Who?

An interesting Missouri exchange
has this to say: 1.-Two brothers from
a north Missouri county appeared
one morning at the portals of the st.
Joe insane asylum, one to be incar.
cerated as patient and the other
having him In charge. They we're
dressed very much alike and the OBJ
server on the train would not have
detected signs of insanity in either.
The asylum man was in a quandary.
He chatted with the visitors until a
late hour and then locked them in a
room together. Then he telegraphed
to the town where the brothers lived:
Two men arrived here from your
town today, botn dressed alike. One
calls himself Bill and talks of con.
structing an air line to the moon; the
other goes by the name of Dave and
advocates the gold standard. Which

Holocaust of Account Books.

A dray load of account books that
belonged to the various brokerage
firms that had occupied the premises
one door south Of the bank of Cali
fornid, was shipped to some point
part of town yesterday where bon
fire was made of them. The books
contained record of mining stock
transactions covering nearly forty
years, representing a half billion or
more in the aggregate, and stories Of
fortunes won and lost could be read
between the lines.
Included in the holocaust were
records Of the Frapkel firm, that fail
ed for more than a million in 1880,
wreckinR the fortunes Of hundreds of
spectators. and was far-reaching in
disastrous results, causing the sud-
den collapse Of a boom in stock val
ues that promised to rival that of bo-
nanza days. a small army OF specu-
lators, then prominent in mining

peared on the now consumed records,
have long since ceased to trouble
themselves with terrestrial affairs

The new Money Order,

The new style of money order Is
sued by the postoffice department
will gradually take the place of the
cid form as the latter is exhausted at
the various postoffices throughout the
country. The new form is somewhat
smaller than the one now in use and
about the size Of bank draft. It's
color is blue, with fine, closely inter-
laced lines in darker shade. The
two tints prevent imitation, while the
alter mark, =. s. M. o., wrought in
the paper will be another safeguard.
One good feature Of the new order is
the manifolding or duplicating Of the
notification to the paying postmaster.
BY this method the name, payee,
date, amount and place as written In
the order are duplicated and made to
appear the same LII both. Thus the
liability to mistake is greatly less
ened, and discrepancy between order
and advice, which has hitherto been a
source Of annoyance TO both the de.
partment and postmasters, is prevent
ed an absolute uniformity between
the order and advica is established.
The receipt issued to to the remit
ter will tend to popularize the money
order, for hitherto receipt has not
been practicable.

else, and 30 on, until 1 finally traced
1t to an invalid woman who had used

that he had received the money as
rent for small house he owned In

THE B. A. & P. EXTENSION
Has Been Completed to the Silica
Quarry--Force of Men En-
ployed Below Carroll

With the coming of spring the robins
will soon be heard on every hand, n
this, with the glad news that the Washoe
Copper ompan is doing more and more
preliminary work toward the
ment of work on the proposed new smell
tiers, will be welcome sounds in these
parts. To obtain definite news is next
to impossible, but coupling this and that
deal together makes a chain of cimcum-
stantial evidence so strong that there
seems to be no question but what work
will soon. The B., A. & P.
railway has been completed west of the
city eight miles, and trains are being
run over the line for the purpose of haul
ing lime and silica, which Is found in
abundance in the quarries at or near the
end of the line. For several years a
silica quarry has been maintained east
of Anaconda, from whence silica was OBJ
tanned for 1uxing in the Anaconda Cop
per Mining companys smelters. Inc
silica. camp east of town has been as
good as abandoned, and operations Will
be resumed west of town near the Brown
ranch. where operations will begin at
once. About SO men will be placed at
work there today, or within a short time.
A boarding house will be opened on
Browns ranch, which has been pur-
chased by the Washoe company. 1t is
understood the men who will be put at
work in the silica camp up there will
| stop at the lime kiln boarding house until
the new boarding house at the silica
camp is opened up. Down in the valley
below Carroll another force of men will
be put to work making a big taillngs
hume and ditch to prevent the tailings
from the Anaconda smelters spreading
out upon the ranches. Several thousand
feet of lumber will be used.
