POUNDS OF ORE.

boom is eliminating disagreeably. The
papers persistently doomed the building
and all sorts Of projects and schemes OF
public advancement for all they were
worth, encouraging q grand rush from ell
quarters. even from the far East. The
result is that the town has become flooded
with a terrible crowd of the unemployed,
and the papers have to turn about and
tell the people to keep away as there is
no work or room for them. Then. too,
there ensues q general raise in rents,
causing a grand howl from renters. espe-
cially the business men, who swear that
there is no individual increase in business
justifying the raise, and they cannot al
ford to pay it. But building and boom
ing must naturally come to an end some
time.

The latest style for ladies' figures is
outlined in the last issue of the Woman's
Home Companion. Whatever you have
or whatever you don't have for your
Spring and Summer outfit there are GER
tain things of line that must be remem-
bered and carried out. With these, you
can wear what you please and look well.
Without them you will be hopelessly out
OF style, and no amount of richness Of
material will redeem you. First. your
garments must cling to the figure. No
pads on the hips and no hustle are per-
missible. You must look as slim as pos
sible about the hips and as far down as
the knees, where your skirts may begin
to fare. Skirts must lay on the ground
one inch in front, three on the sides and
six in the back. The only exceptions to
this RTE are the business and outing
ski-t ., which must be short all around,
and the elaborate frock, which may be
much longer in the back. Shoulders must
be broad and dropping. The shoulder.
seams are cut long, and collarettes and
other bodice garniture droop far over the
sleeves.

SUSPICIOUS LOOKING TRAvELEns

During The early part OF this week Two
different parties Of men travelling in . rather
suspicious manner were FIRST noticed by
railroad men and others 10 the northern
part Of this county, in the vicinity Of Beo.

heavily armed and mounted on exceptionally
6ne horses and having q pack animal. The
local railroad officials immediately sent
word to the head Office in San Francisco,
and from there notification was sent 10
Wells, Fargo & Cos officials. Detectives
from these companies were ct once sent out
to look into the matter, and John Thscker,
head detective Of the express company, ar
rived in Winnemuccs Tuesday to direct
the taking Of the necessary precautions for
the protection Of trains passing through
The section where these suspicious charac-
ters nave besn seen.
The Eureka County Bank and other in
terested parties were notified early in the
week Of the peculiar movements Of these
individuals, and having in mind the bold
and successful robbery Of the Winnemuccs
bank about . year ago, took the necessary
precautions for protecting their property.
While these parties Of men are travelling
separately, they camp ct no great distance
from each other. One group claims to be
cattle buyers, and the other horse buyers.
On Tuesday night they camped nesr ].
P. Rsine's ranch in Pine Valley, and when
last seen, on Wednesday morning. were
headed across the country towards Mrs.

facts she had collected i'm South Africa

ment felt constrained to take notice of
the opinions and feelings created by
the publication of her pamphlet and
the order was given for change in the
concentration system.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The house COM

bill appropriating 100000 for establishing
a branch mint at Tacoma. Wash. The gen
eral purpose of this new branch is to give
added mint facilities for the gold and sill
yer coming from Alaska. Although the
votes were not taken on bills for other
branch minis, the prospects are that the
establishment of one at Tacoma will oper-
ate against the establishment of other
branches in that section of the country.
Director of the Mint Roberts was pres
ent and stated that one branch in the
northwest would be sufficient for all gov
eminent needs.

no witnesses, and. in fact. did not care
to have any. Nevertheless, brides
maid and groomsman were selected
from the household and the ceremony
began. They had promised to love and
obey and all the rest of the service.
when the preacher announced: Kiss
the bride"
The groom, on Bonded knee. hesitated
a little, tried to say something and
couldn't
kiss the BRIDE" said the pastor.
"Why, parson, l did. afore l came
here at ALL" replied the groom, whose
face had taken the color of a June rose.
The witnesses burst forth in laughter,
while the minister had all he could do
to retain the serious expression which
he always wore when wedding people.
