got ready to sow wheat, he went and
purchased a new wheat drill. After SOW

There is one young lady in Blackwell
who can never be made believe that
the course of love runs smooth, nor can
she ever again be persuaded in time OF

sibie man. Some time ago this girl met
her fate in the person of Blackwell
young man. Matters went we'll enough
for awhile. The spark of love was soon
famed into an unquenchable flame and
the wedding day was agreed upon But
the wedding did not occur; owing to the
enforced absence of the brides mother
it was mutually agreed to postpone the
wedding. Last week the young people
decided to wed and the groom to-be Sc
cured a license. When all was ready
brother OF the bride went up town 10
get nip of something to steady his
nerves. One nip called for another and
the young man finally reached the con-
clusion that the marriage of his sister
would break up their happy home. where
at he shed copious and briny tears The
girl then came up town and attempted
to assuage the grief OF her brother but
1t was not long until she, too. was cry
ing good and hard. At this juncture the
proposed groom hove in sigh. and taking

was plentiful. proceeded to get on the
outside of a large amount of the stuff,
and has disappeared. Thus ends a ro-

Ieo's Dream of Death.

In 1897 the Pope felt the shadow
of death beginning to fall upon him,
and, in splendid defiance of its pow
err, wrote the following lines, which
are considered among his strongest
works:
The Westering sun draws near his
cloudy bed,
Leo. and gradual darkness wells thy
head:
The sluggish life blood in thy with
cred veins
More slowly runs its course-what
then remainsf
Lo! Death is brandishing his fatal
dart,
And the grave yearns to shroud thy
mortal part:
But from its prison freed, the soul
expands
Exulting pinions to the enfranchised
lands.
My weary race is rum touch the
goal:
Hear, Lord, the feeble paintings of
my soul;
If it be worthy, Lord, thy pitying
breast
Welcome it unto everlasting restl
May | behold thee, Queen of earth
and sky,
Whose love enchanted the demons
lurking nigh
The path to heaven; and freely shall
/ own
Twas thy sweet care that gained
my blissful crown!

HAWTHORNE TO BOOM.
Work Has Begun on the New
Water System.

r. X. Colcord, Superintendent Of
the Esmeralda Consolidated Mines
in Hawthorne district, arrived il
town Saturday and brought with
him the cheerful intelligence that
work was to begin at once on the
pipe line which is to conduct water
from Cottonwood canyon to Haw.
thorne district.
Accordingly on Monday morning
Fred Payne, local agent of the com
pany, started for the front with a
four load of provisions and Ii
men, and at once began digging the
ditch. More men will be put on as
soon as they can be secured, and Mr..
Payne hopes to have water running
to the district within so days.
Monday morning Messrs. Colcord,
McCone and Parr left for Copper
Mountain to examine 4O-stamp mill,
and if it proves satisfactory it will be
purchased and brought here.
This is the best news that Haw-
thorne has heard for many years, as
the mines are within II miles of
town. There are many thousands of
tons of low grade ore on the dumps,
and it is the belief of mining men that
with proper management and intelli-
gent work the Lapanta, Pamlico,
Gold Bar and adjacent mines will
again surprise the world by the rich
ness of their ores. There is not a
shaft in the district 400 feet deep.
yet over million dollars in gold has
been gouged out by chloriders.
Besides the company mines there
are probably hundred other claims
that show lodges of ore carrying
from $40 to $40 per ton, which, with
milling facilities on the ground, may

How "Jim" Butler Settled Dis
putes In the Early Days.

The story Of how J. L. Butler set.
tied disputes in the early days OF To
nopah, is going the rounds Of the
press. The story as told may or
may not be true, probably is, as
Butler was always called in when a
"ruling" was desired, and his decis-
ions, by reason of their fairness, al
WAYS event. AS clipped from the
Gardnerville Courier the story is as
follows:
"This week we heard story by a
gentleman from Tonopah of how JUS
tice was dished out in that camp dur
ing the period when leaserS were
doing business there. At that time
there was not much law in the camp.
Jim Butler, the discoverer of the
camp, was by general consent arbi-
ter of all disputes, and his decision
WAS uDdl III al CdoCoj huu SChCl ulI
conceded to be just, On one occa-
sion two men, one a Mexican, who
had been in Buffers employ, and the
other an American, got to fighting.
A constable iuterferred and arrested
the Mexican, who was as mad as wet
hen, and refused to go with the Off
Ger. He had to be overpowered and
handcuffed. Finally he was landed
in room at the rear of saloon,
and locked up. Butler was sent for,
and after a while came in. He took
the irons off the prisoner, much to the
surprise of the constable, who had
warned Butler that the man was dan
gerous. Butler said that he guessed
that no one would be hurt while
he was around, and invited the Mexi-
can to take drink. He then ad-
dressed the prisoner in about this
fashion: Jose, you have made trou-
BILE enough. Go home, and stay
there, and tomorrow morning take
your shovel and pick and go to work.
Mr.. Mexican objected, saying he
would lick the other fellow before be
went to work, or get licked himself
No, you won't do anything of the
kind, said Butler. You either stop
monkeying, and go to work in The
morning, or get out of the camp, and
| don't want any more back talk
either. That settled it. Mr.. Mexi.
can shut up and went home. Butler
then sent for the other man and told
him the same story. He also OBJ
lected to being dictated to, but he
went to work just the same. This
proceeding was not exactly in accord
with the way the lawyers do, but it
had the desired effect"

Reserve Opened.

We are informed that the Federal
authorities have removed the pro-
hibition against mining in the Mt.
Whitney Military Reserve and that
active operations will be commenced
on the Lone Pine mines in a few
days. The order of a month ago
stopping work was great hardship
upon men who had invested their
money in these mines and was a Sc
we're blow to Lone Pine. No posi-
BILE damage can be done to the Re-
serve, and the order permitting OPP
erations to be resumed is no more
than right. -Inyo Independent.

The Perry Recital.

The pianoforte lecture recital,
given at Trinity University audi
forum last night by Edward Baxter
Perry, of Boston, was among the
best musical treats ever given the
people OF this city. Mr.. Perry Is an
unquestioned artist iu his line.
Although blind, he plays with a
technique and expression equalled
only by the masters of the piano
who have the faculty Of which he is
deprived Each number was prefaced
by an historical sketch of the cir
cumstances under which it was
written, enabling the audience to
better understand the nature and
meaning of the composition. The
audience last night was small, but
appreciative.
Mr.. Perry gives another recital
tonight and it Is hoped he will be
greeted by full house. Prof. Camp
bell is sparing no effort or expense
to give the people the very highest
talent obtainsble. None but thesbest
has yet appeared in the university
auditorium, and he is entitled to the
encouragement of the public in this
effort to educate and elevate.
Go out tonight and hear Mr..
Perry. He will interest, entertain
and uplift you.

MS to Mrs. Roosevelt's handker-
Chief tastes which were uncompli-
mentary in the extreme.
The handkerch in question is a
cotton affair, machine hemstitched
and it is said by ladies who are COM
petent judges, that it could be du-
plicated in any store in Dallas for
the small sum of ten cents.
Some of the Ladies are disposed to
look upon the gift from the wife of
the president as a huge joke while
others are indignant about the mat
ter. At the mass meeting this
morning at the Elks' club some of
the most prominent society women
Of the city were present and many
of them stated in plain words their
opinion.
The gift was solicited by Mrs. w.
A. Galloway, who wrote Mrs. Roose-
welt, asking that she give some
thing that could be sold, the pro-
ceeds of which to go to the Free
Kindergarten fund. At the same
time she wrote Mrs. Jefferson
Davis, and received from her a
handkerchief that was beautifully
worked.
One lady expressed the opinion
that the handk erchief donated by
Mrs. Roosevelt was positively
tacky" and should be returned to
her. 1t was moved and seconded
that the "piece of cotton should be
returned to Mrs. Roosevelt after 1t
had been exhibited at so much per
look at the reception.
Mrs. Henry Coke was one of the
few women present who appealed to
the women to be conservative IN
their actions and requested that the
matter be dropped. The motion was
passed, however, and unless the
ladies vote to reconsider their action
the Handkerchief will be sent back to
Washington.
