 DENIES THE ALLEGATION.-H. J. Edson. who runs, or, as some of his neighbors say, permits to run him, a saloon at the eastern end of the street car line, was arrested yesterday on a warrant from Justice Burnetts court charging him with maintaining a dis orderly house. The complaint was made by the district attorney at the request of several residents of that neishbor- hood. Mir. Edson came into court and denied the charges against him. He said his house was an orderly place and that he had greater interest in pre- serving the good name of that com munity. since he owned more property there than anybody else.
 GONE AFTER GOLD. .--Ex-city Mar shal Hi Hooker and couple of gen. tlemen named Sullivan and Remson left town yesterday outfitted for the finding of the biggest gold mine in the world. MT. Hooker particularly pre- sented a picturesque appearance. He was arrayed in blue overalis. jumper. slouch hat belt and revolver and armed with q canteen. At any rate. he gave the impression that he had been a prospector since 49 or the spring of '50 and if anything crawled away from him it would have to b. alive. They took provision for a long stay. and do not propose to come back till they get ready.

 DEAD. AND DRIED UP.-A little four-year-old girl. who lives out near the capitol building. was riding home yesterday with her grandfather and when they passed the Mills house the little girl noticed the big elephant ad- vertisement sign on the vacant lot opposite. "Oh." she said. there's q regular circus elephant aint it2 He's dead and dried up just like everything ese in this country" Grandpa laughed and drove on. When they got near the capitol they passed a similar ad- vertising creation. only it was the representation of a man carrying a valise. What do you think of that2' asked grandpa. "Oh that's man who couldn't find his way to town and he's dead and dried up too," answered the little one.
 THE WORLD IS ROUND.-Photo- grapher Messinger has put final klnk in the backs of those who have consistently maintained that the world is flat. He took a picture from the roof of the court house with his camera pointed north. It is commonly ac- cepted fact that the camera does not lie, and the result of this picture Is the absolute proof that the world ia round. About an eighth of the cir- conference of the earth is shown and the old postoffice building is in tho center. The earth is also a great deal smaller than many have supposed, and the north edge of it is considerable distance this side of the Bradshaws.
