April Weather.

Foster says: April is expected to be a
cold month. Our cup of Winter is not
yet full and the law of compensation re-
quires below normal temperature for the
spring months. Don't be in a hurry
about putting out your house plants and
planting early tender vegetables north
OF the 3sth parallel. Freezing during
night, thawing during day has not yet
left Northern gardens. Rainfall of
April will probably be below normal till
the last half of the month, when moist
ure will probably increase.

A PRACTICAL MAN ON TRIB.

The following is from the Virginia
Enterprise.
No veterinarian on the Pacific Coast
has had "A longer experience, nor has
AZ y MAI had Il o successful prac.
tice with horses, than has DIR, Burns
OF this city. lie makes the following
statement:
A valuable mare driven by Super
iutendent Lyman, OF the Con. Virginia
Mine on the Comstock Lode, had been
in the stable, unable to work from
tee kick of another animal, received
ON the inside of the right fore leg above
the knee. The skin had beer broken
and the muscles and tendons severely
bruised. During a weeks time | had
givec the limb such treatment as,
from thirty years professional exper-
fence, | thought beneficial; but with
out avail The leg was swollen to
nearly twice its natural size, and the
swelling would rot yield to treatment.
On Thursday evening, June Is, 1896,
| made the first application of the
liniment Trib, thoroughly rubbing in
half of Il six-ounce bottle over the
whole leg. | applied it regularly
twice a day for the next three days.
On the fourth day the mare went 10
work, completely cured-the most SUI
prising and satisfactory cure coming
under my observation during a life
time devoted to the treatment OF
horses.
That vas several years ago. | have
since then used this liniment regularly
in my practice. Irib fulfi.ls all its
promises.
An especially valuable feature o.
Trib is that, while it has all the pene'
trating strength of the most powerful
liniments, it does not blister.
For love of the horse, aud the fel
lowship OF horsemen, l offer this ties
timony. l know that Trib will bene
fit both.

B. M. Improvement Association.

At a meeting OF the Battle Mountain
Improvement Association, held March
9th, 1902, the following resolution which
was offered at a previous meeting Of this
Association, was adopted as read:
"A resolution amending Article
No. 9 of the bylaws establishing
a membership fee of 81, this fee
to be exacted from all persons
who participate as meinb rs in
the work Of this Association, but
this fee will not be exacted from
those who have already con-
tributed to the Associations
fund.-
At this meeting the Secretary was in
structed to write to Lovelock and find
out the cost of trees which the Associa-
ton intend planting in the cemetery.
The Secretary wrote the letter as re-
quested and received an answer
and it now lays with the Board of Trust
ess what is to be done.
NOW ludt an dfCeSldD we'll has Deeu
sunk in the cemetery and a good flow OF
water continually flowing from the vel,
there is no reason why the Battle Noun.
tain cemetery cannot be made a beauti-
full spot, providing everybody manifest
some interest in this good work.
Since the Association has not the
means to hire a sexton to keep the ,eme-
terry in order, it could easily be kept in
shape if all those who have a relative Oh
friend laid at rest in the cemetery to see
that their plot is kept in order and would
also lend a hand in beautifying the Gem
etery.
l. is to be hoped that our people will
take more interest in the Association in
the future than they have in the past for
without the co operation OF all, it cannot
be a success.
rbe next meeting of the Association
will be held on Thursday, April oath, SC
let there be a large attendance and show
that you have the welfare of the town at
heart, and thereby it will not fall on the
few who attend these meetings to do all
the work.

shade but render the town a garden spot.
If you have not the trees to plant there
il yet time to send for some that vii.

Strike Not Off.

A dispatch from Butte City, under
date of April 9th says: The Washoe
smelters at Anaconda are practically at
a standstill because of the strike Of the
hosting engineers Of tie Amalgamated
mines. The ore bins were emptied late
to DAY. Over 1900 men are now idle in
Anaconda hy reason of the sallk-out of
the engineers.
At the last meeting Of the strikers they
decided to a man not to go back to work
at the old scale. They claim to have
gained many recruits to their ranks, and
announc their determination to fight to
the last.
Thousands of idle men are. still walk
ing the streets of Butte, waiting for new
men to become competent to run the
mammoth hois ing engines of the Anal
gamated mines. Yesterday one cage
was demolished and a shafthouse wreck
ed by the machinery running away. In
another case the cage fell to the bottom
of the shaft. The miners have become
alarmed, and the Miners Union have
taken steps toward eifecting a settlement
between the Amalgamdted aud the strik-
ing engineers.

Nevada.

The following is taken from the Butte
Times of March 29th;
The editor of this newspaper has been
on an extended tour of Investigation
among the mines of Nevada the last four
weeks, and having just return ed, says as
briefly his space will permit that Nevada
is a mineral empire, rich beyond the
dreams of a~varice. Go where you may,
about you on all sides are mountains
ribbed with precious metals, and if they
were but situated in Montana, Montana
would be doubly famous. Here we have
the facilities for transporting ores at a
reasonable figure; there they have no
transportation facilities unless at exor-
bitant rates. The Southern Pacific rail
way company has made Nevada a real
desert, dormant and non-productive.
This corporation has the State by the
neck, throttling the very life out OF it.
But the time will come when this cor
poration will have competition. Other
roads as capable az the Southern Pacific
will release it from its slavery, and then
will Nevada blossom as it ought to-
"like the rose"-but not till then.

Prisoner Nearly Escaped.

1t was learned today that Webster
Campbell, an inmate of Carbon county
jail, who was taken to the Eastern peni-
tentiary yesterday to serve ten years
term for burglary, almost made his es-
cape from the Jail on Monday night,
that he did not succeed being due to the
breaking of a saw with which he was
working.
He first picked the lock Of his cell,
then procuring saw he made his way
to the bathroom and began saving
away the front bars which blocked his
way to freedom. Just as he severed one
of the bars the saw broke. AS it was
getting late, Campbell decided to wait
for another night, and he went back to
his cell, where he locked himself In lust
as he had been locked in the night by
the deputy. A few minutes later De-
putty Sheriff Mertz routed Campbell out
to take the early train for the peni-
tentiary at Philadelphia.

Endless Chain Is Ended.

Information received at Wilkesbarre
states that the government has decided
that the endless chain letter business,
conducted by Van Kirk & Robins, two
Nsnticoke men, so successfully that the
postoffce was swamped with mail, must
cease. Postmaster Hahn has not yet
been notified what is to be done with
the 65, 900 or 10000 letters which he
now holds and which contain, it is be-
lleved, 100000 in checks and money
orders. He expects that he will have to
send to Washington all those which
have not a return address on the en-
veope, while those which have may be
returned directly from his office.
1t is not believed that the firm is to be
prosecuted. Neither member has re-
turned from Washington, and it is not
known where they are.
The banks are still receiving numer-
Gus letters of inquiry from all over the
country. Two Of them were given by
the firm as references, and they are
asked hundreds of times daily if the
firm is good.

ernor, are to meet at the county seat to-
night and discuss the issues of tho

Three hundred men and boys who
went on strike last Monday at the Sterl-

Reading Company, returned to work
yesterday morning, this course being
decided upon when the employees were
assured that William Pramuk and Sam
Werntz, who were discharged would be
renstated.
1t was stated at Wilkesbarre yester-
day that Henry w. Palmer, tho present
congressman, will not be candidate for
reelection, owing to the party division
that has been caused by the Elkin
Watres fight in Luzerne county. 1t is
considered by many politicians that this
rivalry and the feeling it has caused
would result in Pamers defeat.

turning home one evening recently on

stops along the road Il number of pas
sengers left the car. After brief lapse
of time and just as the car was about to
proceed the gentleman in question
reached over to slide the doors shut.
At that moment q few belated pasSen-

sprinting to catch the car, jumped
aboard and one of them started to enter
the car. He slipped and fell forward
Just in time to have his head caught by

he will close no more trolley car doors.
