Care Of aPnmR.

To care properly for a pump one
must understand ats mechanism and
the principles involved which cause it
to lift water. In mine pumps there are
two sets of valves. known as suction
and discharge valves; if either set Of
valves is out of order the efficiency of
the pump Will be decreased. The sur
face of all water exposed to the air has
the pressure of the atmosphere upon it;
therefore if one end OF a tube is
closed by a valve and the other end
lowered into water, il will be pos
sible to cause the water to rise in the
tube by drawing the air out of IL. The
plunger Of the pump, by creating a
vacuum in the suction pipe. draws the
water uD until it passes into the pump
through the suction valves. II the
suction pipe is not air tight. or II the
suction valve leaks. the plunger cannot
draw water. from which it follows that
the efficiency of a pump depends upon
the suction mechanism. and that must
be made air tight so that no air enters
the suction pipe from above the valves.

REMEMBER CALIFORNIA.

- ALIFORNIANS who are now engaged in select
ing holiday gifts and souvenirs to send to their
- Eastern friends should remember their State as
well their friends, and try select article whose
arrival in an Eastern home will benefit the Californian
producer, as we'll as the Eastern recipient.
No gift sent East could possibly be more acceptable
than one that is dstinctivey Californian The holiday
brica-brac and work of the East and of Europe are
of course excellent, but they display in all the
Eastern stores, well those of California and to
Eastern people there is novelty about them con-
siderable proportion of the holiday things of California
producton the other hand unknown in the East
and consequently they would have double charm for
the recipient.
The season of gftgiving, in fact, affords us most
advantageous opportunity to make known the decacies
produced our orchards and vineyards and the beau
full work of various artists and craftsmen If our
enterprising merchants would make conspicuous dis
play of their California goods during the holiday shop
ping they might aid materially in advancing their
trade in such goods and thus derive private benefit

morning, when both ships arrived at
Plymouth at an early hour after a race
from Gibraltar. The Medea is fitted
with the Yarrow large tube boiler and
the Medusa with the Dhurr. on the
way out to Gibraltar the Medea was
able to run for five hours longer than
the Medusa, both ships starting with
the same quantity of coal and working
at the same horsepower. On the run
home four boilers in each ship were
working to their utmost horsepower.
After leaving Gibraltar on Friday. the
Medusa soon obtained a lead Of half a
mile and, maintaining her advantage
throughout, won by three minutes
During Friday three of the fans Of the
Medea failed to act properly and by
Sunday morning the Medusa was lead

SHOOTING
IN RENO
Pat heran Shot Bill Williams
Saturday Night-ViCtim
Will Die

Bill Williams was shot last even
ing about $3.50 o'clock by Pat Heran,
says yesterday mornings Journal The
shooting took place near the railroad
track just below the asylum in East
Reno.
Inc first shot was aimed at his head
and missed, and four more shots en-
tered his side, making two big holes.
The victim was still living at mid
night, but there was no hope for his
recovery. His iron constitution alone
kept him from expiring at the time ho
was shot.
Williams was riding to East Reno
with A. F. McPhail in a buggy, lead
ing horse. When opposite the camp
where Heran. his father and family
were stopping below the asylum, the
horse pulled away. Williams got out
of the buggy to catch the horse. He
went up to old man Heran and said
to him: Hello, you're not treating
me right"
Heran's folks say Williams struck
the old man. Williams says not. The
old man fell down or was knocked
down. Young Heran came from be
hind the wagon and shot at Williams
head and missed him and then emptied
four barrels of a 3S-calibre Smith &
Wesson into his side.
Heran then got into the buggy with
Mr.. McPhail and came to Reno and
gave himself up to Sheriff Hayes. He
was locked up and Sheriff Hayes and
County Physician Abbott Immediately
went to the scene of the shooting and
brought the wounded man TO the
hospital. 1t was not thought that he
would live an hour, but his physique
kept him alive. District Attorney
Pike and Stenograpner Lamb went to
the hospital and took the deposition
of the dying man.
