opener and don't you forget it.

MINES NEED DEVELOPMENT
To Show What is In Them. Capital

pect Hole.

That there is mineral in these old
mountains surrounding Leavenworth
has been known for a good many years,
but with the exception of the mines at
Blewett it is not known whether it ex-
lists in paying quantities. Not less than
hundred men are at present engaged
in prospecting in the vicinity of this
town. On Icycle and Negro creeks
considerable work has been done and
on some of the property large amount
OF work has been done and much money
expended. On sundry occasions we
have approached some of the parties
interested in these properties but they
are so mysterious and loath to give out
any information, that we have given up
writing about the mining interests and
prospects. Certainly if they can not
see the benefit OF attracting men with
capital and getting their aid in devel-
oping the prospects we have no cause
for complaint. Recently some parties
who live in town have discovered what
promises to be a mine, and what is of
as much Importance as the mineral it.
self, is the fact that the transportation
problem is solved to begin with, as all
that would have to be done to get the
mineral on the cars would be to build
an ore chute and let it fall into the
cars. 1t would not have to be more
than three or four hundred feet long.
The parties who are engaged in devel-
oping the property are very confident
that they have what will prove pay
ing proposition. A number of samples
have been sent to shelters and assayers
at various points and the returns are
encouraging.

John B. Adams and family returned
last Sunday morning from the east
after an absence of six weeks. They
spent two weeks of the time doing the
fair at st. Louis, and enjoyed every
minute of the time. The last two weeks
were spent at the old home, Eureka,
Kansas, where Mr.. and Mrs. Adams
were raised. Mr.. Adams says it rained
nearly all the time, and electrical storms
were numerous. He also had the priv
ilege of seeing the path made by two
cyclones near his old home in which
much damage was done to property
and several lives were lost. While he
enjoyed the trip Mr.. Adams says he
was glad to get back to Washington
and will be better contented than ever
with this country.
Road Supervisor Stein has this week
been engaged in doing some much
needed repair work on the river road
between the mill and town. Putting in
drains, building bridge across the
hollow, widening and leveling the road
bed and making it more passable than it
was before. While here if he would
open the east end of Front street so as
to connect with the Peshastin road he
would be doing the town service and
receive the approval of those who trav'
ell the road.
The plans for the Smith & Tholin
brick building are being drawn and
work will begin in short time.
it will be thirty-ive foot front and
eighty-fve foot deep,tw story with
basement The second story will be
free from posts or pillars. The ioists
are to be three inches thick by twenty
wide and sixteen inches apart making
floor of sufficient strength to hold
up full house. The town has long
needed public hall of suitable dimen-
sions and undoupted floor strength
| for shows and entertainments of var
ious kinds.
The Fourth of July passed off without
any casualties in this town. There was
more than the usual amount of ear
piercing and nerve racking noise. The
invention of new noise making explo-
sives keep pace with other and useful
ones. Beyond one man getting his
face considerably bruised by being
stamped by another with hobnails in
his shoes, there was no serious fighting,
which is common occurrence as a re-
ult OF indulging in vinous, spirituous
and fermented liquors.
James Morrison who was at work for
Thomas Darling on his Chumstick
ranch helping to harvest his alfalfa
crop met with serious and painful ac-

OF the pulleys and had his hand very
badly lacerated. At present he is
threatened with blood poison.

GOING TO HANG ON.
Nanny Felt Her Responsibility
and Knew What Was Expected
of Her.

Every old negro nanny in the south
wants to live to see the younger gen.
GRAFTON of the family she has served
grow up. Her reason usually is:
Cause young mis- and young marse
ain old ernuff ter hab de bringing up
o de pore lambs" A writer in the
Philadelphia Inquirer tells of one NAM
my who felt her responsibility and
knew her task.
"The pore lambs" were objects of her
most tender and jealous care, even if,
as happens to many a flock on many a
hill of home, some of them turned out
to be black sheep. And she never
rested from her vigilance until her
faithful eyes were closed in the long
slumber.
l have friend who has as nurse for
her children the same black nanny
who cared for her in her babyhood.
The other day she went into the nur,
sery and saw with alarm her six
month-old boy sitting unsupported on
the old woman's knee.

and he came on yet step in his

The girl leaned back against the wall
near which she had seated herself
The young man bent forward, taking
both her hands quietly in his own now
and gazing steadily into her eyes
There was no triumph in his gaze
Perhaps John Law had prescience OF
the future.
ooh. sir, had far liefer had never
seen you" cried Catharine Knollys
bending head from whose eyes there
dropped sudden tears.
"Ah, dear heart, say anything but
that!"
"'Tis a hard way a woman must

that the coming of a lover was a joy

"Ah, now, in the hour of mist can
You not foresee the time of sunshine?
All life is before us, my sweet, all
life. There is much for us to do,
there are so many, many days of love
and happiness"
But now the Lady Catharine Knollys
veered again, with some sudden change
of the inner currents of the feminine
soul.

said she, suddenly disengaging her
hand. "Yet did but give you insight

to depart. Youth-youth, and love, and
fate were in that room; and these
would have their way.
The beseeching gaze of an eye singu-
lar in it's power rested on the girl,
gaze filled with all the strange. half
mandatory pleading of youth and
yearning. Once more there came a
shift in the tidal currents of the wom-
ans heart. The Lady Catharine SLOW
ly became conscious of delicious help
lessness, of sinking and yielding
which she could not resist. Her head
lost power to be erect. 1t slipped for
ward on shoulder waiting as by
right. Her breath came in soft meas
ure, and unconsciously hand was
raised to touch the cheek pressed down
to hers. John Law kissed her once
upon the lips. Suddenly, without plan
in spite of all plan-the seal of a
strange fate was set forever on her
life!
For long moment they stood thus,
until at length she raised a face pale
and sharp, and pushed back against
his breast hand that trembled.
tbs wondrous strange" she whis-
pered.
"Ask nothing" said John Law, fear
nothing. Only believe, as believe"
Neither John Law nor the Lady
Catharine Knollys saw what was pass
ing just without the room. They did
not see the set face which looked down
from the stairway. Through the open
door Mary Connynge could see the
young man as he stepped out Of the
door, could see the conduct of the girl
now left alone In the drawing-room
She saw the Lady Catharine sink down
upon the seat, her head dropped in
thought, her hand lying languidly out
before her. Pale now and distraught
the Lady Catharine, Knollys visit lit
tie of what went on before her. She
had full concern with the tumult which
waged riot in her soul.
Mary Connynge turned, and started
back up the stair unseen She paused,
her yellow eyes gone narrow, her lit
tie hand clutched tight upon the rail.

And there'll be smoke when you have 20

Now take your fathers sage advice
Il fear it's all you'll ever GET
And learn why plans Of men and mice
So often end in vain regret.
Yes, why do we poor mortals weep,
While waves of failure soak US?
Alas! we fail to find and keep

Don't spread your forces and your Wit
Like this pale sunshine that we see,
But weld them in a white-hot bit
And bore hole. though small it be.
You may be weak in mortal spine
And bloodless as a crocus,
Still, you have light enough to shine
Just focus.
This very train of thought explains
Your fathers not too great success;

Oft yield the palm to men of less,
And bumptious billiards strut and crow,
Were wise"-all hocus pocus!
They know their gifts are few, and so
They focus.

evening, when John Law, riding a
trembling and dripping steed, came
upon one side of this little open com

space. He saw standing across from
him carriage, toward which he
dashed. He flung open the carriage
door, crying out, even before he saw
the face within:
"Will! Will Law, l say, come out!''
called he. What mad trick is this ?

He saw indeed the face of Will Law

Will Law. This is no place for you
