The shooting is the result of an alleg-

who did the shooting.
The trouble dates back to last year,

INDEX TO PoIsE.

Involves Close Observance of Fun
damental Principle of Character.
No human creature can thrive and
come near perfection without giving
equal heed to the instinct for doing
right. And it is only as these three
great instructive forces come into
something like fair accord that we
begin to know contentment. Con-
tentment is the index Of poise in char
acter, while discomfort is an indica-
tion-nay, is the very essence, Of dis
traction. And to be distraught to
do one thing when we perceive we
ought to do another, to see the truth
clearly and not have heroism enough
to follow it, to lead an inner life of
turmOil-that is the beginning of
death, the gradual dissolution Of
character we nearly all undergo. 1t
may be habit or conscience OF slavery
to conventionality that enslayes us
and undoes US at the last; it may be
q faltering viii and a tickle heart; it
may be dull and sleepy mind--the
disaster is the name. We feel the
diversity Of purposes Of the warning
intuitions within US, and the goblin
of discomfort perches on our door
step.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

United States.
A recent shipment OF 40 ostriches
to Nice on the borders of Italy and
France, from California, directs at
tention to this growing California
industry-the culture Of the African
ostrich in America Just about Is
years have elapsed since the Ameri-
can ostrich farmers gave their first
serious attention to this subject.
Now, says Town and Country the
ostrich industry is well established in
the United States, some eight hun
dred birds existing in the country,
and these will doubtless form the
nucleus Of that immense number that
one day willcover the mesas of South
ern California, the meadows of Ari-
iona, the vast plateaus of Texas, and
the everglades Of Florida, as their
kind do the African veldt to-day.
The ostrich has come to stay. He
costs little to keep, not more than the
ordinary sheep, and yields an annual
value of $50 to the proprietor One
man can take care of hundred
ostriches. The creature is hardy and
of careless appetite. The average
increase to the stock each year is be-
tween Is and 20 ostriches to q pair.
Some have been known to produce
as many as 81 in year. The birds
are kept in pens in California, and
a source of revenue has been found
in exhibiting them to the many tour
lists who are attracted there. In
cubators showing the various stages
Of ostrich life are also on view. A
growth from the size Of duck to
height of six feet is a question of
only six months.
When the birds are a year old their
feathers are ready for the market.
The cropping is accomplished by
covering the octrich's heads with
hoods and plying a pair Of shears.
This process takes place every eight
The feathers on the large
,ide wings are cut off near the roots;
he smaller feathers on the tail are
pulled out without injury to the bird,
'or on the care now bestowed de-
bends TIE future health Of the COM
ng feather. In the course Of three
weeks the stems left start to fall out
md a new feather begins to grow,
which in due time is taken off for the
benefit Of the octrich farmer. These
are graded and sent to the
feather manufacturers Of New York,
who make them up into beautiful
articles Of dress so dear to the hearts
Of those who wear them. When the
American woman can buy only the
Dstrich feather Of the American
ostrich, the most sanguine hope of
edwin Cawston, the pioneer Cali
.ornia ostrich farmer, will have been /
'ealized; twomillion dollars each year
will then remain in the country in
tead going to London, and another
magnificent industry will have been |
.dded to the already vast resources

Murderous Affair in Loyalton.

An attempt was made last Friday
morning in Loyalton to assassinate
Harry b. Gott, one of the town officers,
and his family while they We're asleep
in their home. About 2 O'Clock they
were awakened by three shots fired in
rapid succession, says the Truckee Re-
publican. The shots were fired with
one or more shotguns through the
window directly at the head of the bed
where Colt and his wife were asleep.
The seven-months-old child, which
had been sleeping in its crib by the
side of the bed, had become fretful and
had been taken into an adjoining room
by the grandmother, otherwise it must
inevitably have been killed, as the crib
was in direct range of the shots.
All that saved the occupants of the
bed was a Shelf covered with potted
plants, which had been built the day
before and occupied a position directly
in front of the head of the bed.
These plants received the full force
of the shots. The room was filled with
powder smoke and the bed was liter
ally sprinkled with shot. A looking
glass on the bureau that stood near
the bed was shattered. 1t is evident
that no less than three persons took
part in the attempted murder.
Gott did not attempt to go outside,
but sat with his pistol in his hand till
nearly daylight.
About o'clock he gave the alarm.
An examination of the premises dis
closed evidence that one of the shoot
ers had taken up his position in front
of the house and from the number of
tracks and the imprint of the stock of
gun on the ground, must have re-
manned there for some time. Several
persons are under surveillance by the
officers of the town.
The affair is supposed to be the out
come of recent prosecutions for vio-
lating local liquor ordinance, as the
intended victim had given important
evidence.

my view point. Nine-tenths of the
arrangements in Nevada have taken
the same view, and it has played hell.
It gives too much latitude. If mining
arrangements in Nevada had been held
to a strict accountability, and figured
everything down to fraction, there
would be a great deal more mining
work going on now in this State and
the State Prison would be chock full.

How Women are Swindled.

The well known desire of many
women for work that can be done at
home is largely taken advantage Of
by sharpers, who, through alluring
advertisements, offer ''renumerative
and steady work." which can be done
at home.
The would be applicant for an easy
way to make money is requested to
call or enclose 10 cents in postage or
currency for further particulars, etc
The 10 cents is enclosed and the appli-
cant forthwith furnished a glowing
circular further dilating on the gen
teel employment which is to make
her fortune; but an "outfit'' must be
procured or instructions must be
given, and either the company will
provide for 81 or So or some other
specified sum.
Thousands of poor women are thus
swindled, in many cases literally out
of their last dollar, for it is needless to
say that the useless "outfit,o once pur
chased or the equally useless 'instruc-
tions" once given, they hear no more
from the enterprising firm. Women
should be exceedingly careful how
they answer any of the plausible ad-
vertisements scattered among the
want and other small advertisements
in the daily papers. Too often they
are but cunningly laid traps for the
money of the unwary.
