An attempt to wreck some train was
made a short distance east of Lovelock
last evening. M!screants had piied
ties on the track, but the obstruction
was seen by the engineer of No. 219
and the train was brought to stop
in time to avoid an accident. Officers
along the line OF the road have been
notified to keep lookout for suspic-
lous characters. but there is little lik-
lihood of the wouldbe train wreckers
being apprehendeI, there beirS no
clue to their identity.-Silver State.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The weekly issue of the 'FREIE
PREssE FUER Texas" has po-
sitively the largest circulation
of all German papers published
IN the State Of Texas.
1t has over 400 established
agencies in the State, is mailed
to fully 700 post-offices, and has
an extended circulation in Mexi-
co, in the Indian Territory, an0
in Oklahoma.
1t circulates from Galveston
to Denison, from Marshall to El

the thickly populated central
and southwestern parts of the
state.
Two travelling mon and oul
very active local agents are con
tinuously adding new sub

In consideration of these facts
the ''FREIE PREssE FUER TEXAS

Artificial Bio cd Oranges.

Blood oranges always command price

the case in Europe, and as purely conf

line red through the skin of the every
day orange before it is quite ripe.
The attempts thus far made have been
only partly successful. Aniline red Is
very cheap substance, and the process
of injection can be performed at small
expense; but unfortunately the colorins
is not accomplished evenly, and the pulp
| Is liable to be streaky. To sum up, the
conclusion drawn is that the ARTIFICIAL
blood orange is not likely soon to take
the place of the natural product.
Blood oranges are commonly sup
posed to be sweeter than ordinary ones
though such is not the case in reality
Another popular notion is that they ar

that they represent peculiar variety
Nobody knows what is the nature o
their coloring matter, but the same phell

POSTPONED.

Il was one o'clock in the morning.
In the deepest shadow of the piazza
of the little suburban villa in which our
story opens, sat two burglars, earnestly
discussing the affair that had brought
them hither. a light III one OF the upper
windows, which had only just been ex-
tinguished had made them postpone tor
while their attempt and this delay had
given the first burglar an opportunity to
ask his partner the circumstances which
has led to this particular graft.
1.-THE lady who occupies this house,
whispered the second burglar, has ten
thousand dollars in cash. She drew 1t
out of the bank yesterday, and to-mor-
row she will turn it over to the old and
trusted friend Of her late husband"
who is he?" asked the first burglar.
Hes an old cove they've known all
their lives. He's going to advise her how
to invest her money. In the meantime,
she's got it ali upstairs with her in a
black bag"
The first burglar was silent tor
while.
"Jim," he said at last, Il haven't the
heart to do it. She's widow. Let's

"Waitr' exclaimed the second burglar
"For WHAT"
"Why," said his companion, wait un
til the old cove has it. Then rob him.

Plea for single Beds.

Two In a bed is the usual custom OF
sleeping, in the United States at least,
and also in Canada and Englnd. But
in Germany and France single beds
are the rule. The latter plan is more
healthful and comfortable. says a med
ical authority. 1t Is gradually coming
into use IN this country. Single beds
involve more linen, more work In max
inr beds and more washing. but !
never knew a family to return to the
old plan after once giving gingle beds
a fair trial. Especially in summer Is
the single bed to be preferred or even
sleeping on the floor, to two In q bed.
Many families declared they never
knew what comfort was during the hot
summer nights until they adopted the
single beds. I might add a word OF
protest against allowing babies or
young children to sleep with old peo-
pie. The latter certainly draw upon
the vitality of the former. This Ia
probably true as between any bedfei-
lows one Of whom is sickly or less
strong than the other. Consumption
and other diseases have often been
communicated from one bedfellow te
another,

LESSONS FROM CHINA.
New" Things Which Have Been PFae'
ticed There For Centuries.

From what has been learned about
China in recent years the conclusion
lies uppermost that while Chinese en-
gineering has proceeded quite success
fully along static lines, it has rested 10.
centuries without much progress IN all
that involves motion. Thus, while tneir
fixed structures are notable and frequent
Nv beautiful, their machines for dong
work and moving people and goods are
rudely primitive. The curious chinese
wheelbarrow is still a MOI important
factor in land transportation, but what IN
the United States, for example, IS con-
sidered very modern ''cage construction
for buildings, has been practiced by the
Chinese for centuries, and is found all
over China. This is one of many inter
esting observations made by MIR. WIN.
lam Barclay Parsons during railroad
survey in 1893, and recorded in his re-
cent book entitled "An American Engl-
neer in China"
Another example of how the Chinese
have. by centuries, anticipated some OF
our modern inventions, is afforded DJ
the system of dividing up the hull OF
boat by bulkheads as protection againS'
leakage, this with the Chinese, dating
back further than the thirteenth century
The number of compartments in the IN
nese trading vessels depended upon th'
number of owners in a vessel. Mr. JONI
TT so-,;eo, IN an article in this maya
zine several years ago, told that IN
large vessel there were sometimes d
many as one hundred, each partner snip
ping his goods in his own compartment
which he fitted up to suit himself, AM
either went in person or sent one OF HI
family to take charge of his property
There is thus some question whether tn
Chinese bulkhead or compartment sys
tenn was designed for insuring safety o
the vessel, rather than for the convenl
ence of shippers.-Cassler's Monthly.

FAMOUS TIDES OF FUNDY.
Pincid Waters Suddenly Turned Int
B.riur and Perilous Torrent.

Raging and Periious Torrent.
Brief reference Is made in nearly an
school books to the Bay of Fundy and
its remarkable tides, but in none IL
justice done to the most remarkable
manifestation Of its kind in the world.
Most notable Of all its features is the
reversible falls OF the St. John river
near St. John. N. B. Imagine a per-
fectly placid surface Of water. so placid
that it mirrors all the surrounding
shores, suddenly converted into rag
ing torrent and tumbling waterfall.
The st. John river. or, rather the
hArbor, contracts here to a beautiful
rocky gorge. spanned by two handsome
suspending bridges. Above this gorge
the river broadens out again. But dur.
ing tia "a hours there are only four In
tervals Of 20 minutes each when ship
ping can pass through the gorge. On
each change Of tide there Is ut slack
water a period Of 20 minutes during
which the water in the gorge Is on
level with that of the harhor and tha
river and perfectly placid. Durinl
those 20 minutes the shipping hurrisi
through.
Suddenly. without the slightest
warning, without SO much as q trem.

are the reversing falls Of the st. Johl
river. It Is doubtful IL q mora dra
matte change occurs with such un
varying regularity anywhere else II
nature. It is made all the more i'm
pressive by the beauty Of the land

landscape, as reflected In the placi

The German physician declined the
