A State Developer.

Recently Senator Livingston, who
has some mining interests in Pinenut,
leased the ranch connected with the
mines to alderman who had a family
of eight children. While they were
talking over the terms, Livingston
counted up the children, and calledIhis
attention to the fact that if he had two
more children he could, under the law,
petition for school district and elect
his wife as teacher and draw a certain
amountsof money from the school fund
This idea was new one to the rancher
but he caught on very quickly, and
after scratching his head a few mo-
ments, replied:
"Give me two years. lease and
think | can make it.u
The lease was made out for two years
and with the mans ordinary luck he
will be able to call on the school fund
when the proper time comes.
How much more rent he pays Liv. in
case he lands the goods is not stated,
but developments in the Pinenut. dis,
trict will be watched with interest
Already Bob Schulz has the required
number and is looking up the law or
the formation of new school districts

Beers and British.

The war on the Tugela to relieve
Ladysmith continues. Butler made
three attempts to storm the Boer posi-
ton, and failed to carry point. The
British forces were driven back at each
attempt. The heaviest artillery work
of the war was done on Monday and
Tuesday by the British, which was not
replied to by the Beers. Each time a
position was carried by the artillery
the Beers placed new men in the posi-
ton stormed. The line of battle ex-
tended twenty-five miles along the
Tugela nights.
AT the close of the two days fighting
the Red Cross force was engaged ten
hours caring for the British wounded.
General Warren maintains the position
he occupied on Sunday.
Butler has given out that he will
make night assault on the Beers and
carry their position by a bayonet
charge, which is deemed to be the most
desperate character of warfare.-Reno

Husbands to Burn.

Here is funny little story, and we
will give you the benefit of it:
A sympathetic old man got on to a
train, and there sat a woman in deep
mourning, weeping bitterly. He spoke
kindly to her and asked if he could be
of service to her. She thanked him
and explained that her husband was
dead, and she was on her way to have
him cremated. He was about to sit
down when he spsed another woman,
in mourning, also weeping. Going to
her he asked If her husband was also
dead. She zeplied, mo sir, have no
husband, Z have lived forty-seven years,
and never had husband of any kind,
and yet that woman over there has
husbands to burn. 1t isn't fair.'

His Creditors Mourn.

G. M. Black, the Smith Valley store
keeper and trader, sold his possessions
in the valley some three or four weeks
ago and left the country, stating that
he was going to Auburn, Cal. Since
then it has been learded that Mr..
Black went to New York State, where
he has relatives. Whether he is on a
visit or not is not known, but the val
ley people seem to think Mr.. Black
will not be back. 1t is reported that
Mr.. Black took several hundred dol
lars with him, and it is also stated that
he leaves creditors in Smith Valley,
Gardnerville, Carson and California to
the tune of nearly thousand dollars;
wherefore said creditors mourn and
cuss.-Lyon Co. Times.

by the President is certain. 1t is a

A PANT Mine.

The Netos says Walter Chedic is ship
ping a carload of graphite from his
paint mine south of Carson to the Chi
cago Paint Company, who have been
making tests with it for a year, and are
anxious to know if he has a large de-
posit of it, as it is the best they have
ever had. The mine is as yet unde-
veloped, but the indications are that
there is large ledge of the graphite.
Mr.. Chedic has men at work at the
mine and is in hopes that it will event
ually be quite an industry. The only
drawback is the almost prohibitive
freight rate, it costing $500 for a car
load to Chicago.

Be Patient With The Hello Girls.

The telephone operator is little
understood and much abused. A
call IS given the "central" Office, and
an answer is expected IN about two
seconds, or sooner. You may tail to
realize that the operator may have
ten or dozen calls at the same time,
all expecting an instantaneous reply,
which is aphysical imposslbility. Visit
the exchange and follow the operat-
or's hands for a few moments. She
is one OF the busiest people in exist
ence. She is not only employed ev-
cry moment, but it is only by the most
rapid movements and the most unre.
mlttlng energy, and only after great
experience, that she can keep abreast
of the demands upon her. She is
reaching here and there with both
arms, running her fingers over a row
OF little levers IN front of her, con.
meeting, disconuecting, ringing, wait
ing (but working, too), talking a
steady stream of formulas, and ac-
ceptlng impatience, and sometimes
abuse, without irritation. 1t is GER
talnly a wearing, nerve-dragglng busi-
ness, this being a "hello girl" on a
busy board. To be sweet and pa
tient after six hours of the above de-
scrlbed ordeal does not prove the pos
session of good disposition, because
it is most unberable, and the best of
dispositions are liable to give away
under the strain, but it proves some
thing better-a trained control of the
nerves and temper.

A Sad Death.

The announcement of the death of
Miss Sarah Yohe, which occurred at
her home on East street, this town,
Sunday evening, was received with
profound sorrow by her many friends.
To many of them her illness was un-
known. Only two weeks ago she was
taken III, manlfesting symptoms OF
typhoid fever, and in spite of medical
attention the disease developed com
pllcations, which refused to yield to
the physicians skill, and shortly after
eight o'clock Sunday evening the
spirit deserted its earthly tenement
and winged its flight to the great be-
yond. The deceased was the posses
sor of a sweet and winning disposition
and her life was quiet and unostenta'
tlous. In the family circle, and as
olerk in Conner Thomas music room,
which position she held until the fatal
sickness befell her, her absence will
be deeply lamented. A family, con-
slsting of mother, sister and a
brother, survive. The young lady
was twenty-four years old.
Funeral services were conducted
at the house Wednesday morning aud
the remains taken to Miffiin for inter-
ment.

Bloomsburg five, by the score of aS

training, but the locals seemed to
have retained the skill in passing the
ball that marked their play in former
seasons, and after they located the
basket they scored rapidly. Blooms

tlemanly game and took their defeat
with good grace. There was some
brilliant playing in spots, and the fair
sized audience in attendance was fre.

clever piece of work and interest was

teams lined up as follows:

Farmers Afraid 10 Sleep Because Of The Dep
relations Of the Law Breaking Element.

The correspondent to the Phlladel.
phia Times from this town has gather
ed considerable information in regard
to the numerous burglaries that have
been committed along the line of the
Bloomsburg and Sullivan Railroad and
throughout the upper eud of the
county of late. He describes his find
ings in Tuesdays issue of that journal
as follows: "Durlng the past two
weeks reign of terror has been in
augurated among the farmers of the
region up along the Bloomsburg and
Sullivan Railroad and the adjacent
country. For several days prior to
the shooting of robber at the Cam
bra Post Office a number OF farm
houses had been visited and despoled
of eatables, fruit, etc. The killing OF
the burglar at Cambria had the effect
of quleting these depredations for a
few days, but it was not long until
the commenced afresh, and within the
past two weeks SO many farmers have
woke up in the morning to find that
the thieves have visited them that
now, from Jamestown to Jamison City,
and from Rhorsburg to Harveyville,
hardly farmer dares to 60 to sleep
at night.
The thieves strike different places
every night. They seem to be well
fixed as to horses and wagons, and
while the are principally looking for
cash they do not despise other things.
Chickens, canned fruit, cider, potatoes
apples, butter and eggs are all taken,
and apparently the men get wagon
load every night by visiting several
farm houses.
1t is believed that this work is be-
ing done by an organized gang of
thieves, numbering about six, who
have their headquarters near Jones'
town. When the man was shot at
Cambria his body was laid out and the
public invited to identify him. But
no one knew him positively. How
ever, it is believed that the body was
that of man whose family reside in
the woods near Jamestown, and it was
noticed that brother-in-law of this
man came and viewed the body three
times, but did not claim it. Suspic-
ion, therefore, rests on this man and
his associates, who is said to have a
reputation among the farmers which
is none of the best.
There is talk Of organizing vigi-
lance committee to hunt the robbers
and bring them to justice"
