GIsH DENIES he is DEAD
the Bioomington Vic
Tins.

William Foster. though a justice Of the
peace and hence a man OF much honesty,
gave out a wrong impression yesterday
morning and now is distressed by it's conse-
q~uences.
He has an once in the Karbach block.
Directly across the hall is the office OF Or.
Jacob Gish. DR.. Gish has an uncle, Elias
Gish, who for years has been a casket
trimmer In the Maui undertaking rooms.
yesterday mornings newspapers reported
that a J. ]. Gish, visiting at Bloomington,
Neb., had been injured there Friday by tho
storm and that his wife had been killed,
Anyone who will keep these facts in mind
will understand how 1t happens that Judge
Foster got into difficulties unintentionally.
He was just entering his ONCE door when
he heard the telephone ring in DR.. Gish's
office. CHANGING across, he noted that the
door was open and the doctor absent.
Thinking to do someone a kindness by TAX
Ing the number, he stepped into the doctors
ONCE and answered the ring.
Hello" he said. -
Hello. Is this DR.. Gish's ofice7" came
the reply in a woman's voice.
Yes, but this isn't the doctor. I'm Just
a neighbor OF his. What was It you
wishedT'
o my. wasn't II awfui7 / just wanted
to find out where the body Ia"
Where what is7"
Where the body Is Wasn't 1t brought

This query rather puzzled the Judge, but
the woman speaking so earnestly that he
didn't feel like inauirins too far into her
matters. The thought struck him that
some friend of hers and of the Gish family
had been killed and hat she was going on
the supposition that DR.. Gish was also the
Gish who trims caskets, so he said:
or / guess you had better speak with
the doctors uncle. He can tell YOU"
Where iR his uncle nowf"
why, at Maul's, 1 guess. You know
where Maul's undertaking establishment
is, don't you? On South Fifteenth street.

that his uncle is there with IL. Anything

you, sir. That was ALL"
The parenthetioal remark came to the
Judge family. He realized that the speaker
a. the other end OF the line was addressing
| an aside to someone else in the room with
her, but he did not realize what ashe was
saying until after she had finished and. had
rung on. Even then he didn't quite grasr
the situation because he had not time to
look over the papers But when he die
look over them a great light broke upor
him and now he Is much disturbed lest he

For the relief Of such friends and of any
others who may be similarly concerned, II
Ia well perhaps to state that DR.. Gish was
seen yesterday by, a Bee representative
and gave, his personal assurance that he Ia
not dead or anywhere near It. Moreover
he. states that, SO far, as be knows, the
storm victims OF his name are not related
to him In any way. -.

TALES OF A PRIVATE.

When O'Reilly enlisted in B company of the good old Fourth in the fall of 1899 he was a fine, tall. upStanding young chap Of 19. He and the other rockies spent four months out at Fort Sheridan. while fat captains and eager young lutes sweated them over the parade ground and half cursed and half prayed good soldier sense into their heads-and' backs and legs and arms.
 They went over to Manila. on the Grant, by the east route and they were the first soldiers of the United States who ever crossed the Atlantic on warlike errand. That was one thing they were proud of. Another was the fact that old Pap" Lawton was on board the transport-Henry w. Law ton. the knightly soul whom every soldier loved.
 Young O'Reilly was Chicago boy. right enough, reared on the west side of town, right across the road from the territory" and had spent so many years down there that he still knew the off side of a bucking bronco and what to do when a steel cylinder. with a bad man at the other end of it. stares you in the face. Then, too, he stood four inches taller than six feet, and there was that in his grey eyes which seemed to warrant a pleasant and exciting time to any member of the famous Trouble family who might be out look ing for his relations.
 Anyhow. O'Reilly drifted into Law tons native scouts and at the head of a bunch of twenty-five Tagalogs he tramped all over Luzon and certain other more or less savage and wild eastern islands, finding trails and gen orally acting as advance guard for the soldiers behind him. There is q rag ged scar on O'Reilly's right hand which is one of the souvenirs of that service.
 Up in the hill country there lived a thrifty little Tasalog who sold rice to O'Reilly, without putting poison in it. as all true patriots were bound to do. Such unpatriotic conduct aroused the ire of one true patriot. who sharpened his bolo, which originally had been the tire of a wagon wheel, and laid for the rice seller. The patriot had cut thirty-two large slices off the rice merchant when O'Reilly and one of his natives. both unarmed. interrupted him. He considered their conduct rude, and before he had been beaten into unconsciousness he had given O'Reilly the gash of which he still wears the scar. And he has also the bolc n question. As it's Filipino owner was hanged for the murder in Manila a month later, he had no further use for it.
 When the three years of his enlist ment was out. O'Reilly had s300 and the DlalariaI fever. As a certain way of getting rid of both of them he vent over to one of the little Japanese hot springs and lived for a month. Then he started home for Frisco, but the

THE ADVANCE GUARD.
The Prospector the Pioneer of
 Civilization.

The prospector may be said to be the pioneer of civilization. Conquering ar mics may devastate a territory, depop- ulate it or Subdue the inhabitants to a certain extent, but they never civil iZe: the real pioneers of civilization are the men who delve in the mountains for the precious metals: the men who penetrate the widest regions, explore the rugged. uninviting mountains or tramp with scanty rations over the hot arid sands of the desert; who dare 10 tread where the foot of civilized being has never trod before; who sleep for months at night under the arched can opy of heaven after a hard days toil. whose bones are sometimes found bleaching by one of their brethren on the mountain side. in a lonely canon or on the burning desert, whither hope had beckoned him: whose reward is the discovery of mineral, perhaps after years of laborious search, q discovery which. when he gets back to civiliZa tion, exhibits his samples and makes known his find, results in a rush-a new camp-mines being opened, ma chinery being erected, and the noise of the stamps and busy population of the new town soon banishes the desolation which surrounded the prospector when he slept on the ground the night be- fore his discovery.
 Trails are followed by wagon roads later by railroads, and the freight wa gons are supplanted hy the engine and cars; the camp. which perhaps ir time grows to the dimensions of a great city has been connected to the centers of civilization by rail and wire.
 The prospector has perhaps received a sum of money for his claim or claims which makes him independent for the balance of his life and he may rest from his labor; tut away somewhere ahead of the march of civilization ahead of the locomotive, away from the haunts of men, maybe surrounded by hostile natives. there are other pros pectors blazing q trail for the army which is sure to follow. The man with the pick and pan, with his little store of bacon. beans, flour and coffee. with his rife and burro, if fortunate enough 10 afford the luxury, is hunting for min eral, and whether or the desert in the canon or on the hills. the bright star of hope leads him on. until he finds the magnetic metal which attracts man and which builds up cities and empires. or until he gives up the search and lies down to take his last sleep under the blue vault which he gaZed at so many lonely nights and passes over the last great divide" Mining and Engineer ing Review
