The lri r. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scien-
tifc causes upon which the Rev. Irl
Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of
of storm aud weather. it is remark
able fact that specific warning Of
every great storm, food, cold wave
aud drouth, have been plainly printed
in his now famous Almanac for many
wears. The latest startling proof of
this fact was the destruction OF Gal
weston, Texas, on the very d'y
named by Prof Hicks in his 1900
Almanac, as one of disaster by storm
along the gulf coasts. The 1901
Almanac, by far the finest, most
complete and beautiful yet published
is now ready. This remarkable
book OF near two hundred pages,
spleudidly illustrated with charts
and half-tone engravings, goes as a
premium to every subscriber who
pays one dollar a year for Prof.
Hicks journal, Words and Works.
The Almanac alone is sent prepaid
for only 25c. Order from Word and

Saved BY underwear.

1t takes an agile-headed man to
get ahead ofa tar-and-feather party
and such mau is Edgar Plato, a
pianist by profession, and a resi-
dent of Topeka, Kan. About six
weeks ago Plato, who was divorced,
married Mrs. Hamilton, an alfalfa
widow, living two miles north of
Topeka. After closing the store
one night he and his wife started
home in a buggy. When they
reached the outskirts of North To-
peka gang of masked men stopped
the horse, pulled Plato out of
the buggy, beat him almost
into insensibility, tore his clothes
from his body and them painted
him with a coat OF tar.
AS luck would have it, Plato had
on two suits OF underwear. The
gang tore of one and thought they
were down to his skin. The tar was
therefore spread on his garments in-
stead of his naked body. After treat
ing him in this manner the gang
scattered. In the skirmish the
masks fell off the faces of three of
the men, and Plato and his wife re-
cognized all three.
According to Plato's story, they
were P. W. Hamilton, the first hus-
band of Mrs. Plato; William Hamil-
ton, his son, and John Wendell, a
brother of Mrs. Plato. Warrants
we're sworn out for the three men
and they were arrested.

BROTH & MORGAN" :"

Messrs. Broth & Morgan says
that four years's experience fully
confirms the good opinion first
formed of Trib.
Here is Mr.. Moneys testimony:
ITO Trib Company: During a

l have used my liniments. first
used Trib Oh the sprained ankle of
horse. 1t helped the horse right
away, and in ten days be was at

ment. I like it better than / ever

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

The Carson News says: The as.
SCISSORS OF the various counties will
convene IN Carson next Monday, as
a State Board of Equalization, under
the recently passed revenue law.
"Ihey are given ample authority
to accomplish something in the way
OF equalization. and the result de-
pends entirely upon the strength OF
their desire to serve the people.
"The board will find interesting
conditions confronting them. For
example if it should secure pos
session of the Southern Pacific rail
roads yearly statement, it will be
seen that more cattle were shipped
from Nevada last year than have
been in it according to the assess
ment roll since Nevada has been a
State. In other words the roll show
less cattle belonging to owners in
the State, than we shipped out and
sold in the markets. Under these
figures it is safe to say that at least
one half of the cattle in Nevada were
not assessed. The assessors have
neglected their duty to this extent,
and it probably means several mil
lions of dollars in taxable property.
"Again by this same record, they
will find that three or four sheep
owners sold more sheep than were
taxed in all the counties. There
fore the assessors have plainly been
negligent in their duty to the tune
of perhaps some more million of
dollars worth of sheep.
"This record should show that
one man who is assessed for $12, 900
all told, sold in one direction over
100000 worth of one product from
his place last year. He probably
should be rated at from quarter to
a half million.
Zone estate appraised at over half
a million is assessed for less than
500, 900, and there is at least one
more that will show about the same,
in the western part of the State.
"0ne piece of property assessed
in this State for $5 900, 900 is bonded
for more than $42,OOO,0 900, 1t GER
tlinly is worth the sum for which it
is paying interest on bonds; there
fore $37 900, 900 in taxable property
has been with held from the State in
one lump
"NearIy 100000 acres of land.
most of which is valuable, at least
worth the 81 .25 the Government
would ask for it, is assessed at II
cents per acre, and the State loses
$2,0OO,000 worth of taxable prop
erty.
"Just these few items, which the
News calls attention to, would
double the valuation of the whole
State OF Nevada, and, of course, re-
duce the rate one-half.
"When half.dozen bits of prop
erty are escaping taxation that
would raise the valuation Of the
State one-half, to say nothing about
the hundreds of other instances that
could be quoted, it looks as though
the Board of Assessors had some
thing to do"

Murder Will Out.

Park Barnes, who arrived from
Inyo county last week, informs the
Hawthorne Bulletin that Fred
Merkle, section foreman of the Q. Il
G. recently found the bones OF a
human arm near Queen station. The
Indian known as Jack Magee, who
saw the bones, appeared much ex-
cited, and upon being questioned
saidI that they had been brought to
the place by coyote. He said that
about fourteen years ago white
man was travelling in that vicinity in
a blackboard and that an Indian had
killed him with shotgun and buried
the remains in a revine about three
miles south of Queen, after which
the buck board and its contests we're
burned. Mr.. Merkle offered the
Indians SIS. if he would point out
the grave, but after consultation
with other Indians he refused to 90
so.
Messrs. Barnes and Merkle be-
lieves that the murdered man was l..
N. Woodhouse, whose mysterious
disappearance about fourteen years
ago was the cause OF sensation.
The remains OF an old blackboard
near the spot confirm the belief that
it was Woodhouse who was murdered
there.
Woodhouse left Hawthorne for
Bishop on the 9th of January, 1885,
in blackboard. The next day he
was seen at Teel's marsh. This was
the last ever seen Of him. He never
reached his destination and a few
days later his horse returned tc
Hawthorne.

The Butcher Bird.

Says a prominent hortieulturisti
"The butcher bird is the most saga.
cious and at the same time the most
cruel of birds. a pair will follow
you while blowing, and if you over.
turn a rats nest they will immedi.
ately pOunce upon the wretched
creatures. kill them or drag them
away and spike them on the sharp
thOrns of an orange tree, to be de-
voured at leisure. One morning
saw butcher bird with a snake
fully a foot long. He had it by
the back of the neck, and with il
flew up into an orange tree. He
then nailed the reptile on to thorn
and sat and watched it. He let the
snake almost wriggle off, when he
flew at 1t and fixed it more firmly.
They kill their game by the
wholesale and treat it in this fash
ion. For that reason, because they
are destructive to gophers and rats,
they are considered the friend of the
orange grower. These innocent look
ing little gophers are very destruc-
tive TO the orange"

HATCHING OSTRlCHES.
The Male and Female Take Turns In
Sitting on the Eggs.

The Male and Female Take Turns In
Sitting on the Eggs.
Early in the year, just as spring
dawns, a pair viii begin to build a
nest, or, rather, to scrape one out Of
the ground. The male bird rests
his breastbone on the ground and
kicks the sand behind him. When
one side Is sufficiently deep, be turns
around and operates in a like man
ncr until a round hole about three
feet In diameter and one foot deep
Is the result of his exertio Oc-
casionaliv he intimates to the fe-
male that help is required, and they
take turns.
The hen forthwith begins to Law
an egg every day until u or Is are
located side by side in this hole in
the ground. They scatter a little
sand over the eggs to protect them
from the fierce RAYS of the Calfor-
nia sun. This habit has doubtless
led to the supposition printed in
many ancient natural histories that
the egg, of the ostrich are Matched
by the sun unaided by the birds.
As soon as the full number Of
eggs are laid the couple share the la
Dor of Matching, the male bird sit
ting on the eggs from / O'Clock in
the afternoon until o'clock the
following morning, and it may be
understood with what skill this is
performed when ii is remembered
that $50 pounds of ostrich are bear
ing down upon Il eggs. At 9 o'clock
the hen takes his place. The male
ostrich, however, with remarkable
intelligence. relieves the female for
an hour in the middle of the day
while she goes in search Of necessa-
~ nourishmcnt.
y pair Will follow this regime
with the greatest regularity for
about 10 days, when the eggs are
Matched. - Colorado Springs Ga.

Hercditv In Cats.

Why does cat walk around upon
the hearth rug about five minutes
before he takes his seat? I'm sure,
as the English people say, / don't
know. \ neighbor Of mine, how
ever, was watching his cat going
through the gyrating preliminaries
the other evening, and he told me
what he believed to be the truth of
the matter. He saws he got his
facts from Darwin. / hope he did,
but as the children in the Seventh
Reader say, Zone can't always tell !"
1t seems that a cat belongs to the
leopard, panther and tiger race, so
that no amount of dOmestication
has been able to eradicate inherited
tendencies. The animals mention
ed live in the woods-when they are
not in the geological gardens-and
they have no hired help to prepare
beds for them. When ready 10 90
to rest, they have TO find fallen
leaves and tree branches, not well
assorted. They tramp round and
round on the spot where they pro
pose to lie until it is reduced TO the
necessary condition for a couch.
Our friends cat was just carrying
out the tradition.
