HANGED HIMSELF.

The news early yesterday morning
that resident of Wadsworth had
hanged himself by the neck until he
was dead was rather startling but true.
The unfortunate man, whose name
was Ben J. Casey. had arrived here
last Friday and with the help of friends
had secured work as a machinlst at
the Southern Pacific shops on Satur-
day morning and had worked that day.
Sunday was day of rest for him and
he was noticed about the streets. Sun
day evening VIM. Kenneday who had
known the deceased at Tiburon for
for some four years, knocked at his
room but did not receive any response
and retired. In the morning he heard
the caller at deceased's door and there
was no reply. Kennedy knocked at
the door of the room before he went to
breakfast and did not receive a reply
SO after breakfast he knocked again
and thinking the man was sick broke
in the door and by the flare Of light
ed match saw Casey's body hanging by
the neck by piece of cotton rope to a
niche in the top Of the head end
Of the beadstead. An alarm was
sounded and the first parties to reach
the scene of the suicide found Caseys
body cold and stiff. He had taken the
rope from his trunk, fixed slip moose
in 1t SO the knot came under his left
ear. bent his legs up and held them
until he strangled TO death. His knees
were about four inches from the floor
and his toes rested on the floor when
he was found. He had not left scrap
Of writing in explanation Of why he
chose to quit this world nor had he
breathed word of his intention to end
his life to anybody. A letter received
from his wife from Tiburon, CAL.
shows that Casey was sick and des-
pondent and had written her that he
was unable to work.
Coroner Peers came down from
Reno and held an inquest yesterday,
the jury finding a verdict in accord
ance with the above facts.

Mail Munificence.

The professional mail contractor
Travis has succeeded in landing a
sucker and in subletting the Ora-Wads-
worth route for $40 per annum, report
goes. That means $l.34 trip of 20
miles requiring man, horse and
wagon, twice week. The Chinese
laborer commands better compensa-
ton, but the Chinaman is evidently the
better man. The miners say they will
not patronize the mail carrier with any
of their business.

RAILROAD NEWS.

The gravel pits near Loyelock will

struction trains of so cars each will be
the outfit when working full force.
That no ballast will be used west of
Browns tends to show the main line

chill to do away with the grades be-
tween Wadsworth and Browns. Car
load after carload of new 7O-pound
rail is being shipped to Browns. The
new rail has square top which is a
departure from the old serni-round top,
the principal reason for the change be-
ing that car wheels will not SO readily
climb the square top and accidents
from that cause will decrease. w. G.

WILL GO TO STATE PRISON.

Chinese who sell gin to Indians are
very cunning but in the long run they
fall into the clutches Of the law as did
one Aere Sunday who has been deal
ing out the stuff for some months.
He never delivered the liquor in day
light or in his, house and made the pur-
chaser wait for him in some secluded
spot on the bank of the river near
Chinatown. With all his caution he
was caught in the act by Constable Cold
ing and James Shaw Of the reseya-
ton police. This heather has caused
the officers a great deal Of trouble
and his capture is cause for con-
graduation. The case is so clear he
will certainly get several years in the
penitentiary.
In this matter we repeat the warn
ing that it is against the law to sell
Indians lemon extracts and kindred
stuffs containing large amount Of
alcohol and the dealer who sells it
is liable TO arrest.
Dealers have been imposed upon
by Indian school boys forging orders
for the stuff in the names of house
wives but several Of the boys have been
caught and punished ard it is not like
ly they will try it again.
Residents of Wadsworth are or
should be familiar with the law regard
ing the barter, sale or gift Of liquor to
Indians, and if caught and convicted
cannot plead ignorance.

LETTER TO G. B. TAYLOR.

Dear Sir: You own several houses.
Your reason for painting Devoe lead and
zine should be several times as strong az
the man who owns but one.
Lead and oil was good enough paint
till the merits of zinc were found out. It
was profitable to paint lead and oil-it
was then-but not now.
The addition of zinc to lead makes
Devoe lead and zinc last twice as long
and costs no more costs less-a trifie less,
not much. Lead and oil Is mixed by
hand; Devoe lead and zinc by machinery.
Might as we'll make ones shirts by hand
as mix paints. Say 1t costs $1O0a house
to paint lead and oil; and 1t lasts three
years.
Say 1t costs the same for Devoe which
lasts six years-it will last ten years, In
favorable conditions, unless you want to
repaint to change the color.
The costs lead and oil about $50 q
year Devoe $15-probably less.
Yours truly, r. w. Devoe G Co.

bring, while 1t is certain that to the In |
telligent, prudent person the colder eli
mate furnishes more stimulating, puri-
tying atmo spheregand abundant facilitie |
for making use of it, So we find that in |
the broad sweep Of our temperate zone
and in the northern part OF 1t are the
most long-lived, efficient people upon the
face OF the earth. Life Ia produ, tive and
stirring and the seat of empire is there
found. But larger benefit than any Of
these Ia the stimulus which is given to
forethought and prudence with the re-
suits upon character. Men who have to
plan during six months Of the year for
the wants Eof the other ak months,
which cannot be met save by this careful
forethoughr, will get out of the way OF
living from hand to mouth and leaving
to luck or chance the meeting the de-
mands which the Frost King will make.
There is no spur to lazy, shiftless man
more effective than the blast of the cold,
northw vest wind which catches him with
out any wood cut or any potatoes in his
cellar. He Is not likely to repeat the
neglect after two or three experiences
come to him, If the full consequences fall
upon his own head. II you had seen 80
often as have, the multituds of happy
Igo-lucky people who do not provide for
the months to come simply because they
do not have to do 1t In their climate, and
the consequent effect In the making of in
deficient characters, you would see the
fall force Of this thought and be glad that
the Frost King makes some people gel
up and provide for his coming, with thu
resultant habits of prudence and fore
thought so essential to all wholesome
living and strong characters.

Alaska. This frost work is slowly |
changing the outlines of the mountains,
grinding down the material and bringing
il down into the streams from which. it is
deposited in the valleys.
Another beneficial work of the frost Ia
upon insects and various forms OF lower
life. It tends to destroy many of them
so as to keep their numbers down within
reasonable limits so that they do not be-
come too destructive to the higher forms
of life and too burdensome to men. We
have familiar proof of this in the in
creased number of such pests which
follows, mild winter. There was a
destructive insect which wrought great
damage to our elm trees few years ago,
| but from which there has been respite
for two seasons past owing as is believed,
| to the severity of some recent winters.
We have but to consider our comparative
| immunity from the swarms Of such pests
which prevail in warmer climates, to
appreciate the more comfortable con-
ditions of life with which we are favored
and so be thankful for one of the bless
ings the Frost King brings us. This
repressiye influence applies as well to
| other larger animals which thrive In
greater numbers than with US, in warmer
climates, and make life hard to bear.
What a great relief would come for
instance to the inhabitants Of India, il the
multitude of deadly serpents could be
rendered torpid for single season by the
power of the Ice King.

alse provides an abundant supply of ics
for use in other seasons with the attend

But more important benefit Ia tht
furnishing Of conditions for health anG
vigor of body and a stimulus for active
and effective life. Frost effectively sets
a limit to some kinds of diseases, oil
Iyellew fever, and lessons the risks Of
others. It kills the germs Of some kinds
of life and gives respite from malaria
and sweeps the outer air clear for the
time from various forms of poisous. 1t

upon investigation that some other con-
ditions than temperature are largely re-
sponsible for their prevalence. They
prevail in warm climates where frost is

regions. Wherever men breathe impure
air or fail to secure good blood there will
be such diseases. The only advantages
that warm climates have in this matter is
that people may have freer access to the
