AVERAGE MAN IS IMPORTANT.
On His Well-BeiDa Depends the Prog
Sess of Every Civilized
Nation.

The average man rules the nation.
says Nine. Sarah Grand in the London
Express. Elevate the individual and
you make the nation great. 1t is a
truism, but, like most truisms, will
bear repetition:
by contrasting the condition Of
countries in which the majority Of
the people are gagged and enslaved
with that of countries in which wealth
and freedom are more equally dis
tributed we have learned the fact that
it is not riches of the rich nor the
poverty OF the poor, but the position
and the character and the conduct of
your average mere man that gives its
tone to n nation-the mere man who
asks but to be allowed to live as de-
cent human being asks lor time OF
honorable toll, for time or rest. for
love and affection, for wife and chill
dren-for life of dignity, an Old age
of pleasant memories, happy death.
when that is the honest ambition
of the mere man of nation that ma
ton must be great. Given the condi-
ton of mere man, does he progress or
is he downtrodden and oppressed and
YOU have the condition of the nation
and its place in the estimation Of the
world.
This being the case, it is obvious
that progress depends upon the ele-
walton of the masses, and 1t is toward
that end that. all right thinking peo-
pie in power will direct their energies
in the days to come--that and uni
versal federation, which shall make
obsolete the retrograde power of pa.
triotism, and result in peace on earth
and good will among all nations"

The Woodhouse Mystery Revived

Parke Barnes, who arrived from
Inyo county last week, informs the
BULLETIN that Fred. Merkle, section
foreman of the c. & c., recently
found the bones Of a human arm near
Queen station. An Indian known as
Jack Magee, who saw the bones, APP
peared much excited and upon being
questioned said that they had been
brought to the place by coyote. He
said that about IA years ago a white
man was travelling in the vicinity in
blackboard, and that an Indian had
killed him with shot gun and buried
the remains in a ravine about three
miles south of Queen, after which
the buck board and its contents were
burned. Mr. Merkle offered the In
dian SIS if be would point out tbs
grave, but after consultation witt
other Indians he refused to do SO.
Messrs. Barnes and Merkle believe
that the murdered man was l. N
Woodhouse, whose mysterious disap-
pearance about IA years ago caused
sensation. The remains of an old
buck aboard near the spot confirm the
belief that it was Woedhouse who
was murdered there.
A reward of $3.50 was offered by
the State and $3.50 by the county for
the apprehension and conviction OF
the murderer.
Woodhouse left Hawthorne for
Bishop on the 9Th of January, 1887
in a buck board The next day b,
was seen at Teel's Marsh This wa
the last ever seen of him. He neve
reached Bishop, and few days latel
his horse returned to Hawthorne.

SamOa's Native Woman Surgeon.

A surgeon of the United States
navy has discovered colonial new"
woman, the odd accomplishments of
whom are set forth in the report of
the surgeon general. This woman
dwells at Faga-Toga, village on a
harbor in Samoa, where United
States coaling station is located. She
is a doctor. Her medical education
consists of such knowledge as she has
been able to pick up from a United
States dispensatory and from naval
surgeons who. have visited the harbor.
Her practice among the natives is ex-
tensive and very successful. She keeps
the commoner sort of drugs and com
pounds her own prescriptions. But
the truly amazing features of her
success have been realized in surgery.
The United States naval surgeon de-
scribing these says: 81 have seen sew
eral fractures she has reduced and
treated with very good results. Two
amputations that she has performed,
one of the arm and one of the fore
arm, have come under my observation,
and the results are very good. She
had native assistants, operated with
out an anaesthetic, and the only in
struments she had were hand saw
and a razor."-Harper' Bazaar.

pellets penetrating the lungs. One

ervation and the other in Mason val
ley. One boy is 13 and the other II
years old.
The miners employed IN the Parrot
mine, near Luning, quit work last
week. We are informed that the
miners have been in the habit of car
rying powder from the magazine to
the mine about five minutes walk
on their own time-that is, they were
required to do full days work in
the mine after getting the necessary
powder. To this the men objected,
and as the Superintendent refused to
deduct this time from the days work
about L men quit.
Superintendent Dunyan was IN
town Sunday and secured number
of men who arrived that day from
Grass Valley. The new force left for
the Parrot niue Monday.
Robt. c. Gordon, an old-time Ne
vada miner, arrived from Tonapah
last Saturday. He and his partners
have located three tunnel sites and a
mining claim in the new camp. Mr..
Gordon has had a wide experience in
the mining regions of the coast, but
he says he never saw camp that
promised better than Tonapah. He
says the formation and the quartz
are identical with those of Virginia
City, ond predicts that with proper
development it will surprise the min.
ing world He returned to Tonapah
Monday.
P. NJ. Bowler returned from the
northern country last week. He
visited Portland, Seattle, Everett
and all the important towns up north.
He says that country is being doomed

A Snake mt Church.

During the revival services in the
United Brethren church in Shelton
burg, Pa, a snake was discovered
crawling over the floor under the
seats. One lady noticed something
moving over her shoe and In few
moments felt it passing over the 9TH
err. When she found it was a snake
she jumped on the seat, and the
church, which was crowded. was
thrown into confusion. The ladies
stood on the seats while the men tried
to capture the reptile, which raced
backward and forward through the
church in its efforts to escape. After
it was captured the services were re-
sumed IN. Y. Sun.

RECORD OFDISASTERS
Terrible Things That Have Hap
pened in the Last Century.
Earthquake, Famine and Floods
Have Made Their Mark In Hor-
rible Figures Upon the
Pages of History.

The nineteenth century has made an
inetfaceable mark upon the world
The march of progress in civilization,
in invention and in science has been
rapid, and future generations will
yield acknowledgment to the fact.
The age of romance has not left great
er impression upon the literary and
military history OF the globe than
will the century just closed upon the
general advancement of the human
race. This very advancement has,
however, multiplied the dangers
which accrue to humanity since
greater civilization has added perils
peculiarly its own to those which al
ready existed, says the, Philadelphia
North American.
The nineteenth century has been
particularly unfortunate in disasters
which in their very magnitude have
appalled, the entire human race.
Earthquakes have cost the lives of
thousands in various countries of the
civilized globe, and famine, tidal
waves, fires and floods have added hor-
rors to the smaller disasters, while
death by shipwreck or railway acct
dent has become a familiar terror
Some of the most disastrous earth
quakes of the century have been the
one which befell India in 1919, when
1900 persons were killed; the one
which caused a loss of 5000 lives in
Canton, China, in 1890; that which
buried 1000 persons in Calabria in the
year 1895, and the one in 1912, when
5000 we're killed in San Domingo.
More frig' nj still was the earth
quake in southern Italy, when $4,000
persisted and the one in which TO-
900 residents of Calabria lost their
lives in 1857. Two years later, in
Quito, there were 5000 deaths from
the same cause; in 1860 there were
1000 in South America, and in Ma
Mia, in 1868, 1000.
Indeed, the SOS were particularly
prolific in deaths by earthquakes, for
in '67 1000 lives were lost in Nifty
lene, and in 1868, in Arequipa and
that district, there was total of 25,-
900. The next appalling disaster of
the kind was in San Jose, Colombia,
in 1875. when no less than $4,000 died,
In Ieio there were 1000 deaths in
1881. and in 1888, in Cassamicciola,
1890 were killed. With 1887 came the
well-remembered horror in Charles
ton, S. c., when only As lives were
lost, but $5,OOO,OOO worth of property
was destroyed. In Japan, in 1891,
5000 died and 5000 were injured.
In 1897 came the first great famine
of the century, that Of India. 1t was
followed by the great famine which
devastated Ireland nine years later,
while in 1860, '65. '6s, '7o, 's7 and 90,
respectively, India was again laid
waste by far-reaching famine.
Nor did. these vast tragedies finish
the list of widespread disaster in the
century. In 1871 the great fire al
most wiped out the Chicago of that
day, and in 1889 the breaking of the
Conemaugh dam destroyed the -four
ishing municipality of Johnstown. In
the same year tidal wave in japan
swept away $4,000 houses and killed
2,419 pei sons, while the similar dis
aster in Galveston in September, 1900,
is too fresh in the public mind to re-
quire mention.
