nativity is but thirty miles away from
the ancient city OF Nuremberg, where
he received a common school cd

parents being in moderate circumstances.
he was withdrawn from school and APP
prenticed to a merchant weaver in Burg
hashlach. 1t was while employed by this
weaver, Mr. Haas that an attachment
was formed by Mr. Guckenheimer for
Miss Sarah Haas, a daughter. The love
of the boy for the girl of IL en-
dured, and it was nine years after his
departure for America that Mr.. Quicken
heimer returned to his native land to
claim his bride.
But very few years were necessary to
convince young Guckenheimer that by an
exercise of those talents that had been
bestowed upon him he could win
greater fortune and position than
lay open through adherence to his
trade. America attracted him as an
undeveloped field for his activity, and hav-
ing secured the permission of his parents
to leave for this country he bade them, his
sweetheart and al his friends farewell

JUSTICE VS.. INJUSTICE.

The White Pine News thus sizes up
the situation in Lincoln county /:
The effort which is at present being
made by the District Attorney Of Lin
coin county, backed by the Governor,
Attorney General and State Controller,
to force the April Fool and De Lamar
mines to pay fair tax on their net
proceeds, according to law, will be
watched with great interest all over
the State. Ii those big dividend payers
whose millions go out of the State can
escape the bullion tax, where is the JUS
tice in enforcing the law against the
man, who, perhaps after years of hard
labor. ships few carloads of good ore
The ruse OF the De Lamar Company is
evident to all. 1t simply leases its mill
to a trusted servant, who charges the
company an exhorbitant price for mill
ing the ore and then pays back the
profit to the company in the form o.
rent. II the law won't reach such often
ders it is time to abolish the law. We
will keep our readers posted as to the

Mrs. Grey, who was buried yester'

lesson in temperance. Twenty-Five
years ago she was in well'to do cir

woman of ladylike appearance and
possessing good education and the
respect of the community, she con-,
tracted the liquor and morphine
habit and went down into the gutter
stage after stage. She became a
physical wreck, and each day took
enough morphine to kill a dozen
men. The morphine habit was fas-
tened on her for twenty years and to
secure the drug seemed the sole OBJ

The Mormons OF Utah have in hand
a marvellous beet-sugar industry in the
Great Salt Lake Valley. They turn out
every year 10000. 900 pounds of white
sugar. Cheap as sugar is, the Mormons
make good profits out of their output,
to large extent because of their in
genious system OF conveying the juice
from the vats to the factory, in one
instance, twenty-five miles distant.
They pump the juice from the vat to
the factory in a three-inch pipe, thus
saving large amount in transportation,
and securing the reduction of the juice
into sugar near the producing center.
This industry yields dividends OF 10 to
IL per cent year to the farmers and
about 20 per cent on the stock.

stricken India Asks Aid for Her
Helpless People.

/
The SENTINEL is in receipt OF {
communication from the Committed
of One Hundred appointed in New
York to solicit subscriptions for the
starving millions in India, in which
charitably inclined people every
where are asked to contribute to the
fund.
The conditions existing in India
at the present time are something
terrible to contemplate and call fol-
prompt action by all classes, with
out regard to race, and those who
are blessed with plenty should give
thought to the sufferings of those
starving people who are unable to
do anything to better their own con-
dition.
In the committees appeal for aid
the present situation in India is thus
portrayed: Famine, from lack OF
rain, is now shifting sixty millions OF
our fellow beings. At this moment,
death by hunger and thirst threatens
one.sixth of that number. Thous-
ands are starving each twenty-four
hours. In that stricken land the
heavens are as iron and the earth as
brass.
Birds of the air drop lifeless from
the burning sky. Hundreds Of
thousands of cattle have already per-
ished. In the absence of food and
water. fiercest animals let go their
hatreds, and helpless lie down to-
gether to die. The decaying bodies
of men and beasts pollute both
plains and rivers. And the woe has
not yet reached the worst. Face to
face with even such horrors still
stand countless little children and
women, and men, whom food will
save.
The following figures will show
bow far very little money will go
in the present crisis:
Two to five cents will save life.
Ten cents day will provide food
for starving family.
Two dollars will save a life until
next harvest.
Five dollars will give a meal to
$50 starving people.
In view of these figure it will be
seen that the smallest amounts will
help.
All banks and express offices will
receive contributions and remit the
money to Brown Brothers & Co., the
New Y ork bankers, free of charge.
