A Mammoth Cave.

Nevada might be said to be state
that presents many paradoxes. In
deed, we see some strange anomilies
out here. We have fifty thousand peo-
pie and have resources that would
easily support half million. In any
thronged with prospectors. Bnt the
day is coming when there will be
change.
And now another phenomenon pre-
sents itself. Almost at our very doors
is one OF the greatest wonders Of IA
ture. No doubt people have travelled
all the way from Nevada to see the
Mammoth cave il Kentucky, and YET
they may rot know that thin mile
or two of the Central Pacific We have

| From Lovelock one casts his eye to
the east thirty miles to STAR peak. In
that mountain there is cave so deep
and mysterious that it has never been
! fully explored, although parties have
! been said to have penetrated it for
more than a mile.
A party from Lovelock recsntly Wis
tied that cave and spent nearly a week
in an outing in Star canyon.
L. N. Marker, in describing the cave
said it was one of the greatest Won
ders he had ever beheld. The cave l.
, on incline and goes down into the
mountain. The opening is near the
top of the mountain in a lime eff It
is supposed that the enIire cave is in
lime as is the one in Kentucky.
Mr.. Marker said they went down
into the cave for about a ouarte~ Of q
mile, but that Mr.. Woolcoc5 tola I'm
be had been down for fully mile and
had not reached the bottom. He
knew Of no one that had ever been to
the end of it. If that cave was in
Alaska covered with ice at sixty de
grees below zero, scientists would rush
over one another in trying to get there
first. Some day they will find GU,
about this Nevada cave. 1t is onl,
four or five miles up the mountain
from the Humboldt House and some
day mine ihost Griffin will be having
tourists stop off just to see that cave
It will make such a business that h,
will have to build a new hotel.
Mr.. Marker says that the opening o
the cave is rather small and one has t,

and was within mile o, two of it on

SIGHTS IN TOWN.
BY FLORA BULLOCK.

BY FLORA BULLOCK.
When Mr.. Day came home and told
his wife that Mr.. Worth, the minister,
had been talking to him, wanting them
to 20 down to Lincoln to attend the
Assembly. there was the usual list OF
hopeless objections from her. There
would. be no one to look after the house,
no one Who would take care Of the chick
ems. Then she had nothing but her
best black dress, and you wouldn't
catch her wearing that to camp-meet-
ing. 1t was too hot to 20 anyhow, aud
it would be sure to rain. She didn't
like crowd and those speakers talked
longer than any mortal had a
right to. You had to live on town

Martha Day was q master hand at

She hadn't been anywhere but to

meetings 10 her own home for ten years.
it was said in town.
She would have liked to go to church
and prayer meeting, but che hated to
dress up in her best dress.-it was
tight and the sleeves drew and the neck
was too high, and it was 80 much more
comfortable to put on an old wrapper
and stay at home. One Of ths church
members used TO induce bis wife to 60
to church just by saying. YOU'RE get
ting to be % much Of q stay-at-home
a. Mrs. Day."
So Mr.. Day had no hope OF getting
his wife to go to Lincoln. and at first
had no notion OF going alone. But the
minister kept on Ia king. and invited
him to 60 with his family in the role OF
grsndfsther-an idea which suited the
children. as Mr. Day was storekeeper
and had access to candy-jars and ami
NAL crackers. So Mr.. Day, who was
easily persuaded. though he never could
persuade Martha. packed his small tele-
scope-or Mrs. Day did it for him-and
joined the ministers party to the
Assembly, leaving his wife to her usual
tremendous devices OF housevork, and
charging the boys to look after the
store. He would be gone only ten days.

home he had satisfied bis curiosity re-

first day he was in town he met an old
war comrade and was taken possession
OF by the old war comrades family. So
he divided his time between the assem-
bly, grounds and sights in town, making
good use Of Manager Humpe's carriages.
After the assembly was over the MN

Of the inevitable that fatalities do not
occur Oftener On the street cars. The
conductors are busy collecting fares
and the mOtOrman in Obeying signals,
regulating the energy and in manag-

recklessness Of childhood does not more
often prove fatal. Only, children,
fools and drunken men seem to be
under special protection. But one
little. innocent life sacrificed to igno-
rance is warning we do not need.
The childrens' trolley parties which
are Of almost daily occurrence, are an
example Of the risks insOuciant par.

the step that extends alongside the
car. Occasionally boy jumps to the
ground and back again to the car while
it is in motion. The conductor knows
the danger and does what he can to

THE NEWS TN IOWA
SENAAOR GEAR IS DEAD.
Succumbed to Heart Trouble at His
Washington Home.

l WASHINGTON, July 15.--United States
Senator Gear, of Iowa, died in his
apartments in the Portland house yes
terday morning, of heart trouble. He
was in usual health up to 2:3o, when
he had an attack. Doctors were inn
mediately summoned, but could do
nothing for him. While Senator Gear
had been in i'll health for a year or
more, his death was entirely unex-
pected.
The senator retired about eleven
o'clock in his usual health. Shortly
before o'clock the senator summoned
his confidential secretary, Col. r.
Root, and informed him that he was
troubled with congestion of the chest.
Mrs. Gear was called and she and Col.
Root applied some SIMPLE remedies
which seemed to relieve the senator's
suffering. At $50 the senator COM
planned of serious difficulty in breath

and the family physician, DR.. Davis,

WINGED DIR. Davis that This distin-
guished patient was suffering from

could last scarcely an hour. He died

Proved Himself "A Hero.

Fort Dodge, July 14.-Ed Early,
flagman at the Farley street crossing
of the Illinois Central, proved himself
a hero to the admiring public of
Fort Dodge by risking his own life
to save the lives of four others. A
lady with four little ones was driv-
ing a carriage up the hill to cross the
tracks and neither saw the On-coming
express train nor the frantic signals
of the young fagman. Just as the
horses had set foot on the track, with
the roaring engine not a half dozen
PAGES away, Ed Early sprang into the
almost certain jaws of death, seized
the horse by the bride and forced it
back upon its launches, just as the
train flew by, grazing his back.

ALL FOREIGNERS DEAD.
Chinese Story of the Attack on the
British and Russian Legations.

LONDON, July lathe Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Mail says
the following story regarding the POI
sition in Picking emanates from Chi
nese official sources:
The two remaining legations, the
British and Russian, were attacked in
force on the evening of July 6, Prince
Tuan being in command. The attack
ers were divided. Prince Tuan CON-
manded the center, the right wing
was led by Prince Tsal Yin, and the left
wing by Prince Yin Ly. The reserves
were under Prince Tsin Yu. The at
tack commenced with artillery fight
ing, which was severe, and lasted un-
til o'clock in the morning, by which
time both legations were destroyed
and all the foreigners were dead,
while the streets around the legations
were full of the dead bodies of both
foreigners and Chinese. Upon hearing
of the attack Prince Ching and Gen
eral Wang Wen Sho went with troops
to the assistance of the foreigners,
but they were outnumbered and de-
feated. Both Prince Ching and Gen
eral Wang Wen Shao were killed.
Prince Tuan, in celebration Of the
victory, distributed 100000 taels and
huge quantities of rice to the Boxers. ="

NEWS in GENERAL
BOERS ACHIEVE SUCCESS
Succeed In Capturing Nitrals Mex
From British.

London, July 13.-Under date of
July IL Lord Roberts sends the fol-
lowing dispatch to the war office:
"The enemy having failed in their
attack upon our right rear, as men
toned in my telegram of July .,
made determined attack upon our
right flank yesterday and, regret
to say, succeeded in capturing Nj
trails Mex, which was garrisoned by
ia squadron of Scott's Greys, with two
iguns of Battery f, Royal Artillery,
and five companies of the Lincoln
Shire regiment. The enemy attacked
jim superior numbers at dawn and,
Selling the hills commanding the Mex,
brought a heavy gun-fire to bear
upon the small garrison. Nitral's
Mex is about eighteen miles from here
near where the road crosses Crocodile
river. 1t was held by us in order to
maintain road and Geographic COM
munication with Rustenburg."
Lord Roberts dispatch, reporting
still another unfortunate occurrence,
throws serious light upon the state
of affairs in South Africa. There has
been some comment recently regard
by the immediate army under the
command of Lord Roberts, but few
could have been found to believe that
the scattered Beers were able to in
tilct such a defeat so near Pretoria
INSTEAD of the surrender of all of
the remaining Beers being imminent,
as recent kilograms had limited, it
seems they have been making a con-
certed attempt to surround or recap
ture Pretoria with so much success
that in the region which was sup
posed to be pacitied and in which no
attack was expected they succeeded in
lntiicting a serious defeat and cap
turing two guns and some 200 men.
Ut is evident that General Botha has
n considerable force, seeing that he is
able to press Lord Roberts lines at
a half dozen points around Pretoria,
from the Springs to the southeast of
The city, northward to Middleburg,
and Durdeport, and thence south
ward to Nitrals Mex and Arugers-
dorp.
London, July 14.-Lord Roberts has
sent nothing further concerning the
lNitraiS Mex affair. Pretoria dis
patches, however, show that the Lin
;colnshires lost half of their officers,
including Colonel Roberts, who was
wounded and taken prisoner. Stray
!glers continue to arrive at the camp,
but few details can be gathered. The
lIBoer report of the engagement places
the British casualties at over 200.

Discussing a bill in the house OF
commons for the legislative reform OF
the drama, a distinguished English
statesman insisted that reform could
come from but one source, public
opinion. Improper jests and songs, il
men and women would avoid laughing
at them, would speedily fall into dis
use. AS a good example of the force
of public opinion, the American COM
missioners to The Hague Peace Con-
ference last summer refer to over one
thousand kilograms, letters, and me-
MORALS of sympathy received by them,
The fact that the whole American ma
ton was backing it's commissioners
had a most important bearing in the
council, and was the means of COM
pletely reversing the attitude toward
international arbitration of one great
European nation.
