From The Denver News:
A man down in Las Vegas, N. NJ,
has found a mine and he doesn't know
what to do with it. In fact, the
proposition of handling his ore Is
about as tough as the hndling. :"
about as tough as the ore itself. which
is molybdenum, one of the toughest
elements in the mineral kingdom. He
has a big body OF the ore. running a
heavy per cent in the mineral, and If
he can get his stuff handled he has
O neat fortune in hi stands.
Under the circumstances his letter
to State Commissioner of Mines Lee,
asking for information as To tn ewhere-
abouts of reduction works, the ma
ture of the ore and its usefulness in
the world, carried something of eager
ness in its tone. AS it now stands,
so far as he is concerned, his rich de-
posit of mineral is not doing him any
more good that Robinson Crusoe's bar
of gold He wanted to know from Mr..
Lee particularly what the output of the
ore is in Colorado, how many and
where are the reduction works, what
is the ore wanted fox and how badly
per ton it is wanted.
Commissioner Lees letter is not cal
culated to fill the heart of Arthur N.
Jordan, the inquirer, with much JOY
so far as the handling of the ore is
concerned. There is not only no re
duction works for that kind of miner
al in Colorado, but not in the United
States. The only places for treating
the intractable stuff is in Germany,
and hither he must send his ore. When
treated, it is worth $65 a ton, and
even twice as much at times, because
the mines that produce are SO few that
they can be counted on the fingers of
ones hands. Its use is In the alloy of
steel, and hence 1t has high import
ance for baser metal.
Mr.. Lee says that he knows of only
one big mine in the west, and that is
up in Oregon. and hence the opening
up of new property of the kind will
be of the greatest Importance.

One of Lambs Pranks.

A pretentious poet got his verses sub
mitted to Charles Lamb by friend
just before the poet was to meet Lamb
at dinner. Lamb found the verses to
be feeble echoes of other poets, and
when the author arrived he was seen
to be as empty as his verses. This
awakened Lambs spirit Of mischie-
vous waggery. At dinner he said in the
course Of conversations:
THAT reminds me Of some verses
wrote when was young and then he
quoted a line or two which he recol-
lected from the poets book, to the lat
ter's amazement and Indignation. Lamb
was diverted immensely, but kept per-
fectly serious and quoted more lines in
connection with another remark, beg
ging the company to remember how
young he was when he composed them.
The author again looked daggers at
him.
Lamb capped all by introducing the
first lines Of Paradise Lost" cor
mans first disobedience," etc., as also
written by himself. which brought the
poet to his feet, bursting with rage. He
said he had sat by and allowed his own
little verses" to be appropriated with
out protest, but when he saw Milton
also being pilfered from he could sit
silent no longer. Lamb reveled in tell
ing this story.-Rev. David Macrae in
English Humor."

Influenza Caused by Ozone.


On one occasion the writer walked to
the edge of Lake Michigan when a
strong wind was blowing right from
the lake. The bodily condition was as
near perfect as could be, and yet in less
than five minutes there was every evil
dence Of having caught cold. The Sc
we're influenza continued until, on walk
ing away, in less than 500 feet it dis
appeared as if by magic.
1t is very certain that the tempera-
ture had nothing to do with this nor
the wind, but the influenza was direct
" due to the abundant ozone in the air.
BY inquiry it was learned that hun
dreds Of residents who had lived upon
the immediate edge Of the lake had
been obliged to move back three or
four miles in order to relieve them
selves from such experiences.
Physicians readily admit that it Is
not always possible to say when one
catches" cold. 1t certainly cannot
always be because Of undue exposure
or change in temperature, but probably
also to changes in the electric condi-
ton Of the air. Facts Of this kind
should lead to the EXTREMIST caution in
studying any supposed relation be-
tween the weather and health.-Popu-
lar Science.

WOLF BOUNTY,
About S145 Claimed Since the Law
Went Into Effect Here.

Since the wolf bounty law went
into effect in Redwood county, in
October last, there has been about
s145 CLAIMED by slayers OF the
animals. Of the amount claimed all
but $21 has been paid over.
By the law the State pays two
thirds Of the bounty, and the county
pays the other third, the former not
being compelled to pay unless the
county commissioners agree to pay
one-third, and the latter may revoke
it's agreement at any time. In order
to secured the bounty it is necessary
for the slayer to present the animals
so killed to the town clerk, who
shall cause the carcasses to be de-
stroved, and then issue his certifi-
cate to the county auditor. The
slayer must present the wolves
within 80 days after they were
slaughtered.
The one order not yet paid was
refused last week by Deputy Auditor
Everett. The order came from the
town clerk OF Vesta or Westline.
and it certified that John Dolliver
of Westline township had killed and
presented to the clerk seven cub
wolves. The certificate or order
was dated May 18th. The date of
the destruction Of the animals was
given as April 18th. The deputy
auditor held that the claimant had
not put in his application in time.
The following persons have been
claimants for wolf bounties, all Of
which, with the exception of the
last one, have been paid, since the
commissioners put the law into
effect in Redwood county:
Ben. Zachow, full grown WOLF. $500
Frank Jaeger, full grown WOLFF. 500
Ole 0. Sander, full grown wolf.... 500
Joe Bellig, full grown female...... 700
John Dolliver, six cubs..... ......... 1900
Chas. Batzlaff, full grown female 700
John Dolliver, eight cubs and
three full grown wolves........... As. 90
Ed. Larson, five cubs. 1900
Thomas Iverson, five cubs........... 1900
John Dolliver, seven cubs........... 21.OO
As will be seen from the list Mr..
| Dolliver is claimant for $84. His
certificates have come from the tow n
clerks of Vesta and Westline,
where, it has always been supposed,
there have been but very few
wolves, but where Mr.. Dolliver
appears to have found quite a large
number.
It is reported that over in Lyon
county over $1,000 has already been
paid out for wolf bounties, on certi-
fcates from town clerks, and in a
conservation with several men from
an adjoining county recently it was
limited that town clerks might be
giving certificates on foxes, or that
the carcasses of wolves presented
to them for certificates, were not
properly destroyed and taken to
another town clerk and new
certificate issued.

Goth Century.

Mr.. Editor: In the language of
the legal fraternity we Will say: eff
it pleases the Court, we have decid-
ed to rest our side of the case with
out further argument or evidence"
believing that beautiful blank spaces
in which occur no words at all,
would he hailed with delight by your
readers in preference to further dis
cussion of this subject. But, before
the jury retires to prepare its verdict,
/ wish to call attention to the very
clear and sound evidence submitted
by Martin Stump, of Laurelville in
your paper of last week, and to point
out for it's consideration the plan
proposed by Bro. Green in the Senti-
mel last week for the solution of the
problem.
He says "go to the almanac to de-
eide the matter.' This is most COM
petent testimony and to us both
gratifying and encouraging to see
evinoed by men of his stamp, dis
position to abide by the decision of
some noted authority.
Bro. Green is an honest man, a
man of erudition, a man of standing,
resOlute and firm, yet not dumb TO
the truism that wise man changes
his opinion.-a fool never-and with
al a devout man, notwiths anding he
has resisted and defied the intelli-
gence of His Eminence the Pope, and
his whole college, of advisors.
Now, we are willing to abide by
the decision of the authority appeal
ed to--the Almanac--and. as evil
dence of our desire to be fair in this
matter we will draw from the strong
hold of the "other side" for the
necessary documents. TO make the
matter plain we respectfully refer
Bro. Green to the New York Worlds
Almanac for the year 1900, page So
And, If, back in the inner-most re-
cesses of his holy of holies, slowed
away with his bible, his rosary, his
Cincinnati Enquirer and his l6 to
literature, he cannot find copy OF
the aforesaid Almanac, the writer
will gladly send one prepaid upon

Resolutions Of Respect Adopted In
Memory of w. A. Martin by City
Council Of Logan Village.

Whereas, 1t has pleased AL
mighty God in his infinite wisdom,
to remove from our midst, our hon
ored and worthy fellow member,
w. A. Martin, and,
Whereas, The pleasant and inti-
mate relations which for nearly
two years he held with this body,
as fellow Councilman, make it
eminently fitting, that we should
place upon record our feelings Of
appreciation of his services and re-
gret for his loss: Therefore,
Resolved, That this Council will
ever hold in grateful remembrance,
the sterling business qualities, the
patience, integrity and clear sight
edness displayed by our late fell
low member, w. a. Martin, in the
work of this Council.
Resolved: That the sudden re-
moval by death of oui esteemed
fellow citizen from the position,
which he held AS a public officer,
creates a vacancy not easily filled,
and that his fellow members fully
realize and deeply deplore the loss
occasioned to themselves and the
public at large. We express our
hope that even so great loss to
us all may be overruled for good
by Him who doeth all thing well.
Resolved: That we hereby ex-
tend our deepest sympathy to the
bereaved relatives and frie nds Of
the deceased, hoping that even In
the sadness of their affiction, they
may yet find some consolation in
knowing that the worth of his pri-
vate qualities and the value of his
public service are properly appre-
ciated.
Resolved: That coyy of these
resolutions be sent TO the bereaved
family; that they be recorded on
our minute book, and that copy
be furnished the local papers for
publication.
Respectfully submitted,

see that my friend Patrick Prunty
has long article in the OHIO DEMO-
GRAFT this week, about few things
best known to himself, and as he
used my name several times, would
elicit some remarks from me by way
of correction. / suppose Mr..
Prunty has heard of that famous
man Col. Davey Crocket-he said
First know you are right, then go
ahead" This is good rule, Pat
rick, and should be observed. You
still claim that the 10th Century will
not end till the 31st day of next De-
cember, as Mr.. Woodwork and
some others do. But not one of you
have shown any scientific reason
for such conclusion: neither can you
support it by science, nor can anv-
body else.
Science is against you. All Of my
arguments are based upon Science,
and not pigs and apples" Now
pigs and apples are good enough in
their place.
Your showing about the mice
Old SOW, and her beautiful little
pigs" is certainly very pathetic.
Now if some man would have called
on Patrick to buy those beautiful
pigs, the same day they were born,
would he have the cheek to tell him
they were just one gear OLD that
day? / don't believe he would
but he would have just as good a
reason to do so as he would to mark
the birth of the Christian Era lst
year lst month 1st day. Thus you
see, l will not allow those pigs to
be called one gear OLD till they are
just that old, nor the Christian Era
either. Now as soon as my friends
of the negative side bring up argu-
ments, founded upon Science, / am
willing to do all / can, in that way,
to convince them: but pigs, apples
etc are all good eating, but furnish
no argument.
He seems to think 1 worship Col.
Taylor. Why, Patrick! You aston
ish me; / don't even HnOaC Col. Tay-
lor; / don't even know you. One
thing / do EnOU-I know that Col.
Taylor is right in all his arguments
about the 10Th and Goth Centuries,
and you are not. All you need to do,
is to take no mans word for it, but
find the age of the Christian Era
Just as you would your own age, viz:
Subtract your birth day, from any
time you want to count to. Our
Almanac makers and Astronomers
are all against you in your count.
Now all you have to do to find the
exact age of the Christian Era is to
Subtract one ddy Gts birthday
from 1900 years. This will give its
exact age up to Dec 3lst 1899 at mid
night.
