Young Man and Woman.

Are you engaged in an occupation In
which you make money and have pleas
ant life?
Every young man and every young woman
should support him or her self In such
way as to enjoy life and have reasonable
promise of acquiring fortune.
In looking around, there seems to be no
surer promise Of desirable results than in q
course of study and training In that institu-
tion that leads all others of Its kind, the
Detroit Business University.
The education acquired there is the very
cream of excellent mental cultivation, and
enables one to enter the business world,
which has greater promise of desirable
success than any other life open to young
people.
Think this over carefully, and write
either Mr.. w. f. Jewell, or p. r. Spencer,
11-19 Wilcox Ave., Detroit, for the illus
trated catalogue and 1t will help you to
shape your future for great success.

mable helpmeat a farewell reception in

ian society for more than five years and

expense of something like 5000 and Fri

and the church is free of debt. The Eas-
ter offering amounted to SIP.
A pleasing program of songs and reel
tations was rendered by ladies and gen
tlemen of the society. after which a
beautiful silver cake basket was pre-
scented to Mr.. and Mrs. Nash by the

Amy Solomon made the presentation
speech, making a happy turn on the idea
of a souvenir of the Silver State.
The Ladies' Society presented Mr.. Nash
with a gold fountain pen. Mrs. Mackay
made a bright short talk which elected
applause. Mrs. Nash was given a geld
thimble by the same society, Mrs. Doane
acting as speech maker Mr.. and Mrs.
Nash both responded most cordially and
happily.
Bountiful refreshments were served
and the last reception to the faithful and
popular pastor and his wife was consid
cred one of the pleasantest over held.

A Pizen Switch Horse Race.

The s. F. Bulletin has the following:
Dan Dennison vas a Judge in his
palmy days, not a judge OF good
whisky or a judge Of a court, but judge
of horse races. He served in this ca
pacity at the renowned city of Poison
Switch, Nov, way back in the seven
ties. They ran all kinds Of races in
those times, observed the old trainer
yesterday after filing his pipe for a
good smoke. Those were great times.
Everything went, from granddaughter
to murder. Some Of the cowboys
wanted to get up races, and knowing
that l was not 3 greenhorn at the game
they invited me to 60 into the stand.
Before I went in they decorated me
with q badge larger than a cabbage leaf.
One cowboy handed me a large, ugly
revolver before 1 assumed my judicial
position, with the instruction that l
should kill the first nan l caught
cheating. As I was pretty well loaded
myself, | had a regular arsenal in the
stand. Yes, 1 had a gun sticking out
of each window. They got up all
kinds of races YOU could think of. One
of the best was a whisky contest. Tive
cowboys would take a bottle full OF
booze without any cork in it and rid
breakneck speed up the track. There
were two other cowboys who rode be"
side them to see if any of the gooC
stuff was lost. The cowboy who spilled
any lost. What remained in the bottle
came my way. It is needless to ado
that | rather liked these races. The.
exhilarated the presiding judge. Thos'

FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.
OVERPLAYD THEIR HAND
The Secrets OF the Mint Steal Gradually
Coming Out

NOIIA1lS out
An ex-employee of the Mint refinery
has been talking to a Virginia Chronicle
reporter. Among other things he says:
AFTER Heney was sent to the Carson
prison he was interviewed by Mason and
this led to the arrest of Jones, Honey
having told Mason just where to find the
places in Jones' a~ccounts with the mint
where the leaves in the books had been
removed.
The sailing OF the acid tanks and po-
tatOe patch, the latter at the end of the
mint sewer-particuIarly the former was
a fatal mistake made by the friends of
Jones, for as soon as a liberal supply of
go!! was found in the acid tank the in
vestigation experts knew it had been
placed there by design, as there is no pos
sibility of gold in any appreciable
amount remaining in the acid tanks after
it is separated from the silver, the latter
being dissolved by the action of the acid,
while the gold settles on the bottom,
every particle of which is removed from
the tanks after the acid is carefully drawn
off by means of a siphon. At least s., 900
was squadered in this futile attempt to
account for the shortage charged to Jones,
whose guilt was established through dis
closures made by Heney.'
The above is only part of what will
some time come out.
There is in tho possession Of a man in
this city the notes which passed between
some members Of the first Jones jury
and fho sooE hooror for Topoo on1 Honou
These men now insist that the sack bearer
whose business was to handle the last
jury did not attend to business but sunk
the money. 1t would have required SC
much money to handle a jury in the face
of the evidence on the last trial that the
sack man probably concluded not te
waste it trying, and so sunk it in his OWE
pockets.
Had these two men made a clean breast
Of the whole business and employed nc
lawyers or jury bribers they would have
had a shorter sentence and plenty o.
money left.

arrests were made because they could no
be tried successfully on the uncorrob
Grated testimony of convicts.
Evidence has also cropped up which
tend to show hat Pierce, who is sup
