Our genial friend, DR.. w. w. Davis,
has been enjoying visits from relatives
during the past two weeks. Last
week Dr. Wool Beacham, his wife and
mother were guests of DR.. and Mrs.
Davis and this week he was pleased to
have with him an uncle, Mr.. d. W.
Gilbert, of Montgomery, Texas, who
has been away from his native State
of Mississippi for twenty-six years.
Former friends and schoolmates were
glad to greet him after the long lapse
of years, and many pleasant memories
were revived by his visit.

To the prejudiced minds of many of
these partisans, Melins victory took on a
gigantic significance, and they talked in
large phrases of the humble citizen who
had defeated the aims of the most pow
erful Standard Oil company. Melin, to
them, was the modern St. George, who.
single-handed and alone, had chopped off
the grasping tentacles of the Poeantico
hills dragon and had forced it to flee
from the limits of the Mount Pleasant
corporation.
But Melin hipself has no such notions
He understands how much the Rookie

Of this entirely without rancor.
His view is that it has been a give
and-take, fair fight between himself and
Mr.. Rockefeller, and he harbors no re-
sentiment at the thought that in the end
his millionaire neighbor will get his place.

Probably Melin was the happiest man
in the township that night For several
days following the inn was a sort Of

dates lost on time in congratulating
Melin, not only because he had been the
one man who had brought victory to
them, but because in their election he
had brought to himself a greater triumph
than had come to any of them He had
beaten John D. Rockefeller.

On Wednesday of last week, as Pat
rick McGill, man over 10 years of,age,
was coming down the grade back of
Riverton, Cal, with "a load of wood, he
got little out of the main track and
man and team fell one hundred feet
down a steep bank and lodged against
tree. Pat has three broken ribs and
may be injured internally. The horses
were badly hurt and were probably
killed. =
Mrs. Francis Frey, wife of the pro-
prietor of the Riverton hotel, heard
the old man scream and rushed out of
the house to see the horses struggling
and the wagon overturned. She left a
girl with the injured man and ran IA
mile and half up hill to where Mr..
Frey and some men were cutting wood
to secure help to move McGillto the
hotel. A physician was called by tele-
phone from Placerville, who made the
old man as comfortable as possible.

"a, 25 and 26th., 1902 The first annual
meeting was held at Wadsworth in
1901. This was one of the most pleas

profession ever held in the State.
No effort will be spared to make the
coming session also notable one.
Profit. L. Heaton of the department
of Instruction of the University of I al
ifornia will be Chief Instructor. He
will discuss Special Methods in Teach
ing Reading" He will also devote
considerable of his time to the prob

Prof. Heaton will probably divide
the honors with another noted insti-
tute instructor, and ex-state superin-
tendent of an eastern state. If the
services of this gentleman can be Sc
cured, he will present some of the
broader aspects of education and of
the profession of teaching. The work
of the meeting will be, practical and OF
practical value. The two gentlemen
mentioned above, together with our
State superintendent, the President
and the Professors of our University
and the leading educators of Nevada
will make the session one well worth
attending.

A Wonderful Shot.

The Bridgeport Chronicle tells this
little story on an old-time Douglas
County man:
Andrew Smith, Democratic nominee
for Sheriff, accompanied by his wife,
were riding behind pair of spanking
greys, returning from Antelope.
When nearing Blackburn's ranch, he
saw the rapidly moving form of a
coyote as it made silhouette along
the horizon. Passing the lines to his
wife, he raised his famous Winchester
to his shoulder. Just then Mrs. Smith
saw second coyote running rapidly
in direction opposite to that pursued
by coyote No and as coyote No.
was eclipsed so to speak, by coyote No.
l, Andy fired. Result: Coyote No.
shot through the shoulder, Coyote No.
2 through the TANKS. Distance from
the marksman to coyote No. 1, 800
yds.; from coyote No. to coyote No.
2, rs yds. The strangest part of this
story is that Mr.. Smith did not see
coyote No. 2 until after he had made
the shot, The weapon used was box
magazine Winchester rife, No. so cal
ibre, firing dum-dums and smokeless
powder. The properties claimed for
this special gun are wonderful. Data
compiled from the statements of the
above mentioned marksman and Jim
Townsend would'indicate that the gun
would kill at % miles. The projectile
in it's passage through the air melts
and disappears like an aerolite, such is
its velocity. A bullet fired from it,
passing through 56 inch boards, one
inch apart, Government test will
emerge from the last board in the form
of a.biue haze. Henry A. ,Streeter, the
6aadsomes idriver of the Wellington
stage, known to all the coyotes, big
and small, as the mighty Roosveltian,
marksmen and hunter of this section,
is making fabulous offers for the gun.
Judging from the infinitesimal period
of time which elapsed between the
pressing of the trigger and the drop
ping of the coyote, the initial velocity
of the death dealing missile above re-
ferred to, must have been 10000 fl. per
second. For further particulars see

Have You a Mother?
:.%%*


Have you a mother? If so love,
honor and obey her. Remember
the loving care she has had for
you when you were unable to care
for yourself. Do not forget the
sleepless nights she has watched
over you as only a mother could.
Her hair may have whitened, her
face may show indications of age
and troubles. With these your
love and care for her should in
crease. Remember she has SYM
pathized with you in your misfor-
tunes, she has prayed for you in
your troubles, and she has rejoiced
at your success. We have no pa
tience with a man or woman who
neglects an aged mother. Do all
you can to cheer her declining
years-you will be rewarded here
and hereafter. Let her know in
more ways than one that you re-
her affection for you.
