A PRIZE OF TEN DOLLARS.
RFor Some Douglas County Boy.


When a eve has twin lambs the
sheep owner in this section kills one or
gives one away. This practice affords
an opportunity for boys who wish TO
make some money. They go around,
in the lambing season, gather up the
extra lambs and raise them by the bot
tie process. It is lots of fun for the
boys and the lambs bring them a nice
sum of money in the fall.
Last season james Ezell of Gardner
Vile raised six such lambs and sold
them this week to III. Jaynes for $25.
Some of the lambs were exceptionally
nice animals, thoroughbreds, in fact,
and Mr. Jayne Immediately sold two
of them to Mr.. Pitts of Antelope Val
ley for $50.
Mr.. Jayne believes that the raising
of lambs is nice work. for the boys
that it is profitable and keeps them ou'
of mischief. So he now offers cash
prize of $40 to the Douglas county boy
who raises the finest lamb this season
Here is a chance, boys, to make Sll
easy. Take good care of your lambs
and call on MIR. Jayne for an extra $40
piece next fall.

Another Mine.
10, 1901.

Harry Martin of Alpine county was
in town Tuesday, buying mining sup
plies. Harry and his brother-in-law,
F. D. Wells, have mining claim a
mile and half east of Tom Barber's
place that promises to make them rich.
The ore is low-grade, assaying 81 in
gold and So in silver, but there is ire
mendous body of it, the ledge being
eleven feet in width between well-de.
fined walls. They expect to work on
the claim several months taking out
ore. They now have a 33-foot shaft,
and at the bottom of the shaft there is
thirty-six-foot drift on the ledge.
The boys are confident they have a
good thing and propose to open it up
and put it in shape to sell. A San
Francisco man has already expressed
a desire to purchase the property and
will likely come to see it next spring.
This man took some of the ore to San
Francisco and had it worked and is
well satisfied with the result. In color
the ore is blue and white. 1t carries a
large quantity of sulphates and is very
beautiful.

Waste of Water.

Several of the Western papers have
sounded the note of warning in the
matter of the waste of artesian water
supply. Flowing or artesian wells all
receive their supplies from vast under
ground reservo irs, the same reservoir
supplying many wells During the
past two years thousands of new wells
have been bored, tapping these under
ground reservoirs, and complaint is
now made that wells are allowed to
flow on even at times when no use is
made of the water. The result is that
the underground reservoirs are becom-
ing diminished in volume, and wells
which flowed freely few years ago
have now no water. The good advice
is given that legislature enact laws re-
curing owners to cap their wells when
the water is not actually needed for a
useful purpose

Nothing adds more to vigor of body and
cheerfulness of mind, or aids SO well in
chasing away the lines ofworry and care
from the weary brow, as good, sound, re-
freshing sleep. But when the gray matter
of the brain has been robbed of its vitality
and constructive strength by weak, worn
out and exhausted nerves, sleep gives way
to restless tossing and long hours of fever
ish distress. Do you want good sleep?
You can get it If you go about it right.

Tn. Twenti.th Cen,nrY.

We now stand at the threshold of the
twentieth century, and the nineteenth,
in whose one hundred years the great
est progress of the world has been made,
will be a thing of the past. 1t, will,
however, always be known as the cen
fury of invention and discovery, and
among some of the greatest of these, we
can truthfully mention Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters, the celebrated remedy for
all ailments arising from a weak or dis
ordered stomach, such as dyspepsia, in
digestion, hatulency, constipation and
bilousness. 1t has been without a
doubt one of the greatest blessings to
mankind during the past fifty years as
tonic and health builder. Many promi-
1t, say that 1t should be in every house
hold. Take their advice, buy bottle
and be convinced, but be sure to get the
genuine with our Private Revenue

Lieut.. Kings War Record.

The Hinsdale correspondent of the
Springfield Republican gives some in
teresting facts which have not been
published in regard to Lieut. John l..
King, whose tragic death at North
Hinsdale was recorded last week:
Lieut. King was born in BrattlebOro
in 1897, the son of John II. and Mary
Lord) King. His early education
was obtained in the public schools
and the West Brattleboro academy.
When only II he joined Brattleboro
party and went to Kansas and took
part in the stirring scenes of that pc
Rod. He faced death many times
there, was a prisoner at Lecompton,
and came home in 1851, with no re
compense, save the consciousness of
duty bravely performed. The family
soon afterward removed to North
Hinsdale, and he took a course of
study at Kimball Union academy in
Meriden.
August II, 1862, he enlisted as
private in Co. A, 14th regiment, New
Hampshire volunteers, and served UNI
til the close of the war. His army
record was praiseworthy. He was
made corporal Oct. 6, 1862; sergeant
| July /, 1864; sergeant-major, Dec. !, ,
1864; LIST lieutenant of Co. c, Jan. A.
1865. He was likewise commissary
of subsistence and acting quartermas-
| ter at Fort Pulaski, Ga, from March
to June 1865. Two years before en-
listment he married Miss Margaret
j. Wandell. and there were 10 chill
dren, of whom three sons and one
daughter survive; likewise a brother,
Charles King of Fitchburg, Mass, and
| two sisters, Mrs. Sarah NJ. X. Bullock
| of GuilfOrd, Vt, and Mrs. Fanny A.
| Crawford of Springfield. Lieut. King
always manifested a deep interest
in the Grand Army, and had been com
mander of Sheridan post. In social
life he was a kindly, affable man,
| a favorite of all the children, and
had many friends all through the
town. A sufferer for many years
from an incurable disability, and I'M
able to labor at all upon his farm, it
is thought that the loss of his wife
three years ago,-an energetic and
helpful wOman,-and the infirmities
of age coming on apace, caused him
to become so fearful of the future that
he felt irresistibly impelled to end
his existence.
