Abe Conn is Showing a New
Industry

For several years past Abe Coin,
Of the Emporium in this
city, has been collecting and selling In
dian baskets, and during that time
Mr.. Coin has not only made splendid
collection, but has revived the industry
among the Indians in this vicinity.
The art of basket making has been al
most lost, as Mr.. Indian has preferred
an old tomato can to the dainty
woven and water tight basket in his
culinary department. The first bas-
kets collected were of ancient make
and now have a value on account of
their age, many Of them having been
made years before the white man dis.
urbed the tribes in their art of making
home utensils.
A number OF mahalas remem bered
the art and by being pald good prices
fo.' their tedious work, have again
worked the art up to the old Perfection
and the Emporium now has mum Der
of specimens on hand that a e wonders
in their neat weave and odo designs.
| Strangers visiting Carson soon dis
cover the splendid collection, and the
result has been that number of pieces
has been purchased and taken to the
| four corners of America.
Mr.. Cohn has just issued a descript-
i've catalogue with a history of the art
| md I,
The booklet also contains sketch OF
Louisa Keyser, the queen of basket
makers, and also has partial voca bu-
larry of the Washoe tongue. The OBJ
ject Of the catalogue is for information
to people outside of the State who send
for information, and the catalogue GER
tainly covers the ground intended
Mr.. Cohn recently placed mum Der OF
ads in eastern magazines and the resul,
has been most gratifying, many in
quiries coming from the East in regard
to price and quality vi the goods Of
fered.
The fact that basket making has as
sumed business form is due to the
efforts of Mr.. Coin and it will, with
out doubt, result in big thing fol
him, to which he is justly entitled
His collection has cost good sum o
money and as the work is done strictly
by hand it will, and ought to, bring {
good price. Strangers and townspeo
pie are always welcome at the Empor
ium where Mr.. Cohn is always read y
to explain anything in connection with
the basket business.

They secured statements from doctors
to prove that he would have been shot

deny the charges. This episode further
diminished his popularity. The repu-
tation of Mir. Davis as an orator had
spread into the national field, and he
was engaged to stump Missouri for Mr..
Mckinley. Upon the election of the
President Mr.. Davis had come to be
called "the administration orator"
Following the election there came
period of inactivity for the orator until
1897. when, under Secretary Bliss, he
was made assistant secretary of the
interior. During all his career it has
been admitted on all sides that his
claim to attention is his ability to hold
large audiences. He Is emotional, tear

ly able to give him the education which
the town schools afforded. Young
Davis. however pushed on, took a
course in the poor boys school at Park
vile, where he received the idea that
he was cut out for the ministry. He
found his way finally TO religious
seminary near Chicago, and there, he
said afterward, he discovered that the
more he learned the farther he got
away from the idea. So he went back
to his father and set TO work at the
cobbler's stool. His dislike for the
trade did not escape the attention OF
his father. One day he made bad
job of pair of shoes, which came to
the notice of Judge McDouglass, of
Kansas City. ''Send him over to my
Office" said the Judge. "He is certain

TREATING BRONCHITIS.
Medicament introduced Into the Orifice

DR.. Mendel, of Paris, recently sent to
the French Academy of Medicine a
most interesting communication on the
subject Of a new treatment of diseases
of the bronchial tubes and Of the chest.
says the European edition of the New
York Herald. Hitherto these maladies
have been treated by means of medi-
cines absorbed by the stomach. The
originality of DR.. Mendeps treatment
consists in the introduction of the
indictments directly into the respira-
tory passages.
AS the illustration shows, the physl-
clan uses a syringe with a curved tube,
and Introduces the point into the orifice
OF the tracheal conduit by which air
enters into the chest. The medlcament
used descends the conduit without pro-
duclng the slightest disagreeable sensa-
ton. The patient feels mild warmth

more freely for some hours.

VIVID FLASH OF LIGHTNING

PecuIiarities of the Thunderstorms

A very few days after my arrival at

my little house on a hill, anxiously
watching the picturesque arrival of an
OK wagon laden with my boxes. 1t was
in the very early summer, and the exi-
gencies of settling In left me no time
which, of course, had often heard. A
more serene and brilliant afternoon
could not be imagined, and it was not
even hot-at all events, out of the sun.
My, two small boys. Ns usual, trotted

lifted the little one up in my arms
and stood there. with the elder boy
clngine to my skirts. Suddenly. out

blaze of golden sunshine. came flash
and crash which seemed as IL it must

after and no burdensome apparatus to
carry about.
The Indians of America, like the old
warriors OF the Scotch highlands, real
lied the Importance Of signal fires In
war time and made use of code Of fire
flashes; but 1t was not until 1922 that
Colonel Colby Of the British Royal en-
gineers devised more adequate system
for transmitting messages by sun
flashes. His method Of doing this was
.by mailing a certain number Of pieces
OF bright tin on poles and exposing
them to the suns rays. Some time
later this was improved on by the adop-
ton of plain mirror. In 1888 an En-
gIish officer at Gibraltar used an ordi-
nary looking glass to reflect flashes
across the strait to Tangier, thereby
carrying on a long distance converse
ton with other English officers in At
rica.
This mirror system was experiment
ed with and improved upon until the
year 1878, when the United States gov
eminent purchased the latest models
and began the instruction of special
signal corps In photography. The mill
tary value of such sun writing was well
known when, in 1856, General Miles
began his Indian campaign against
Geronimo If the truth were only
known. 1t was the Photograph more
than anything else that led to the round
ing up and capture of the famous.
blood drinking red man. One can i'm
agine the surprise of the Indians when
they found that they could not move
without the fact being known to the
Americans and the movement mystic
riously anticipated. Signal parties, in
fact, were flashing hourly information
from mountain peak to mountain peak.
and the Indian warriors headquarters
were always known at Miles camp.
Through the use of the heliograph
Geronimo was kept away from water
by rapidly stationed and mobile bands
OF troops and was finally parched into
submission.
The English army had already been
making use of the heliograph in Az
ghanistan. and during the Boer war of
twenty years made effective use OF the
Nance photographic apparatus. The
great service this means of communica-
ton has been to the different British
commanders besieged by the Beers in
the present South African was is very
well known.
The field Photograph apparatus, as
used to-day. consists of sole leather
pouch containing a sun mirror and a
station mirror a small screen or shut
ter. sighting rod and two small tripod
stands for the mirrors. The entire ap-
paratus does not weigh over ten pounds
and can easily be carried over the arm.
When the air is clear. signals may be
easily taken by the naked eye at a dis
lance OF 100 miles, and by an expert
at the rate Of fifteen words a minute.

How a Duke Earned sixpence.

How the Duke of Norfolk. one of the
richest Of England's peers. earned his
first sixpence is related by his friends
with great deal of gusto.
A few years ago a large English
party headed by the Duke went on a
continental tour. The Duke busted him
self very much on the journey in a
kind-hearted way about the welfare OF
everyone in the party. At every sta
ton he used to get out and go round to
see if he could do anything for anyone.
One old lady, who did not know him
when she arrived at last in Rome,
tired and hot, found great difficulty in
getting a porter. So she seized on the
Duke. Now, my good man." she said.
1--WE noticed you at all these stations
loafing about. Just make yourself for
once in your life. Take my bag and find
me cab" The Duke mildly did as he
