j. w. Puett has been discharged
from custody for the Carlin shooting
the other day, but his wife was held
to appear before the Grand Jury.
She gave bonds and was liberated.
The Elko Independent of Dec.
~ says: Judge Bonnifield came mp
from Winnemucca Thursday night
to hear the application of J. W. Puett
for writ of habeas corbus in the case
OF the State vs.. Mrs. J. w. Puett and
j. W. Puett. The application was
heard this morning in Judge Talbott's
chambers. Brown & Henderson ap-.
peared for Puett and the District At
torney represented the State. Mr..
Brown read the evidence taken at
the preliminary examination and
asked the court to discharge the pc
toner rs there was no evidence con-
Meeting him with the offense. The
District Attorney replied and urged
that Puett be held, as Picanso would
testify that Puett fred the shot that
SO nearly snuffed out his existence.
He also urged that Puett's mind was
the controlling mind and that if
he did not fire the shot he was
in measure responsible for it.
After brief reply by Mr.. Brown,
Judge Bonnifield held that he could
not go outside of the record and that
the evidence taken at the preliminary
examination contained nothing upon |
which to hold Mr.. Puett to appear
before the Grand Jury. He, there
fore, ordered that he be released from |
the custody of the Sheriff.

GRITTY washoe Girls.

The Misses Ella May and Carrie s.
Wood, daughters of E. ]. Wood,
have the true spirit OF go'aheaditive.-
ness. and have homesteaded 16O
acres of ssgebrush land each. near
Chat, says the Reno Gazette. They
have it cleared of brush and have it
all under fence and are living on
their respective places. They make
a specially of dairying, in connection
with the breeding of thoroughbred
poultry-chickens, turkeys, ducks
and geese. The soil is very rich and
without water, but the young ladies
grew q fine crop of rye last year,
some wheat, potatoes-the finest any
soil can produce-sweet corn, and IN
fact everything to supply theii
table. They are building a home
that will be q home in its trues
sense. The yeung ladies are imbued
with the right spirit, and will no
only make a home but reputation
as we'll.

SILVER REPUBLICANS
ISSUE AN ADDREs

After the passage of the Currency
bill in the House, the silver Repub-
liosn leaders held q meeting and
adopted an address setting forth their
views. 1t is addressed to "the men,
bers of the Republican party who
still believe in bi-metalism, and
signed BY Henry M. Teller, Frank
j. Cannon. r. f. Pettigrew, Charles
8. Hartman, John Shafroth and
Fred T. Dubois.
The burden of the address is g
dcfsnse OF the action taken by those
Republican delegates who bolted the
National Convention in ST. Louis in
June. 1896, because of the party's
straddle on the money question. 1t
is declared that the passage of the
bill marks the elimination of q policy
long carefully pursued by certain
influences in the Republican party
and iustifies the action of the men
who refused to remain in that organ
ization after the st. Louis plank was
adopted.
II is further stated that the Repub-
lican party, in 1896, was secretly
committed to the gold standard, but
inserted the straddle in the platform
because its leaders we'll knew that
a straightforward gold pronounce
ment would have resulted in the
election Of Mr.. Bryan by an over
whelming majority. The pledge of
the party to endesvor to secure an
international agreement for the
coinage OF silver was a sham, and the
Monetary Commission was appointed
by the President merely ss q matter
of form, so that he could not be
charged openly and boldly with
having acted contrary to the express
promise made in the platform.
An appeal is made to silver Repub-
licans to oppose to the uttermost the
present tendencies of the party,
which still bears the name, but has
forsaken the principles Of its heroic
days"

-sEs TOLD ON PREACHERS

Very pious men will tell anecdotes
sometimes. The latest comes from
Dean Hole of Rochester, England.
He tells of very innocent and gentle
curate who went to Yorkshire par
ish where the parishioners bred
horses and sometimes raced them.
He was asked to invite the prayers
Of the congregation for Lucy Grey.
He did so. They prayed three Sun
days for Lucy Grey. On the fourth,
the clerk told the curate he need not
do it any more. why" said the
curate, sis she dead?" NO." said
the clerk. "she's won the steeple~
chase" The curate became quite q
power in the parish.
There 10 an old story Of preacher
who went to Texas in the long ago,
and who for two Sabbaths preached
mostly to empty benches. But on
the third Sunday. after the sermon,
he gave ont the appointments for the
week. There would be a prayer
meeting on Tuesday evening, q Bible
class meeting on Thursday evening
and on the next Sabbath, immediate
ly after the morning service, he
would run his brown mare, "Cy-
clone" against any horse that might
be produced, six hundred yards for
800, the owners to ride their own
horses. He won, and fifteen hun
dred Texans joined his church that
day, and Texas has been more or less
noted for its piety ever since.

j. II. KEENE's WINNINGS.

When the stock market in New
York closed Monday night of last
week, the experts arose from the
wreck that JAS. R. Keene had helped
to bring about in depressing secur-
tiles, and figured that be had made
cool 5000, 600. They d.
so,. q. that Mrs. Keene is in
.,.e enjoyment of one-half OF this
snm, or 81, 100000.
It's possible that Wall street may
get back part of MIR. Keene's win
nings by the crash, but 81. SOC, 900,
at least, will never go back there,
since Mrs. Keene does not dabble IN
stocks.
Mr.. Keene is now believed to be
worth $40, ,0O0, 900. He sat in Del
monico's one night a couple oi
months ago and admitted to having
SIS, 10000
"I've got all the money want,
he said, "and I guess I'll quit the
street. I think I'll split my money
in three parts, one for Mrs. Keene
one for Foxy and the third for m,
daughter. I will keep enough t.
give me $4,000 year. That will b.
enough"

Eastern Farmer Tells How to Treat
Old Walls Before Applying
the Finishing Coat.

The painting of an old building pre-
sents some difficulties that are not en-
countered in a new one. The wood
has become so dry that an ~unreason-
able amount of oil is required to fill it
Further, the rough surface is eXcep-
tionally hard on brushes. To over.
come this, a painter would size the
surface-that is, go over it with hot
glue water. 1 painted a building once.
two sides of which were new siding
and the third very old siding. The
new work got two coats of lead and
oil, and the third was first gone over
with a sizing of glue water and whit
ing, and then one coat of lead and
oil; and to-day, probably 20 years
later, the third side is in the best state
of preservation. As to the quantity OF
glue used, L couldn't say, but know
that the glue water was ,ery thin, and
enough whiting added to give it the
consistency of paint. 1 applied it with
a whitewash brush. 1 believe the siz.
ing sometimes peels, but that was my
first and only experience and il
worked all right. If the wood is dry
to begin with, and the sizing is ap
piled hot, I think no trouble will be
experienced.-Richard Il. Mitchell, in

Delivered Fortune in Day.

One Of the most famous mines in
Leadville was the Robert E. Lee. Its
promise was discovered when the vein
or deposit was first struck. but for some
reason or other the people did not. take
kindly to it and the owners tried in
vain to sell IN interest. A gentleman
who happened to have q few hundred
dollars was besought to take a third of
it for $500. He studied the matter. and,
deeming the venture too risky, declined.
The Lee was a pocket mine, and some of
the pockets contained rich ore. To
effect a sale the owners wagered that
they would take $1,000, 900 worth of ore
out of the mine in "a hours. BY great
good luck they discovered a few rich
pockets and won the bet. After this
there was no difficulty in selling the
mine for 81. 500. OoO.-Pittsburgh Dis

ANYBODY'S RABBIT TRAP.

is to fit exactly the six-inch hole in the
dry goods box. 1t may be made so as
to work a little freely and is to be hung
On a pivot is such a way that the end out
side the box is slightly heavier. Put the
bait (c) at the inner end of the pivoted
box. 1t does not take much to induce
q rabbit to enter a hole. Once inside
this the animal crawls along until past
the middle, when its weight overbal-
ances the box, which tips up sud-
denly, and the animal slides out into
the larger box. The pivoted box then
falls back to its original position and is
ready for another rabbit. The trap is
easily constructed, simple and has the
advantage of being always set. There
can be two entrances, as shown in the
illustration. The top and sides of the
box exposed above ground can be COW
cred with leaves, snow or anything to
disguise it. The trap door (a) is for
removing the captured :abbits.-Farm

Rules for bicycling Priests.

A stern prelate with something of the
Irishman in his nature is Mgr. Fava,
bishop of Grenoble. He has lately is
sued the following proclamation to the
stewards and ministers of his flock:
The clergy are reminded that they
may not ride the %bicyclette ventre a
terre." This means stomach unto
the EARTH" and probably refers to the
scorcher or to him who rides for a fall.
'2. The clergy may not part with their
cassocks even when beginning to learn.
8. The clergy are hereby informed that
they may not ride at all."-Pall Mall
