ANONYMOUS WRITER
DOING SOME WORK
A Contemplate Creatures Dirty,
Under.Hand job.

The most disgusting thing that
crawls is a snake. The most dis
gusting creature that lives and,
hreathes, and speaks the human
language, is the one who attacks
their fellow creatures through
an anonymous letter. Too
cowardly and low to come out in
the open, they sneak behind that
shield of cowardism-tie rna,ay-,
mons letter-not thinking. for a
moment that it is only a question
of time when their identity will
be discovered 1t matters not
who the writer is, for in some
part of their indecent writing
they bring forth some character
istic of speech that is used only
by them, and thus the matter of
laying the blame on the guilty
party is an easy one.
This week one of those crea-
lures living in Ely--God save
our little town from such a curse
sent an anonymous to o
gentlemen, in the fond hope that
it would cause serious trouble
between him and a party entirely,
innocent of wrong doing in the
matter But the party who re
ceived the letter was not long in
making up his mind who wrote
it, and talk with the one he
suspicioned has firmly convinced
him of that party's guilt. The
finger Of scorn will ever be
pointed at the guilty one as long
as they remain in Ely. There is
no punishment too great for the
perpetrator Of such an act
And when you sink beneath
the vile, green scum where you
belong, and your diseased soul
has gone to its dark hereafter,
all hell itself will turn aside lest
its reeking garments be con-
taminated by your touch, and
the words, liar, traducer, skunk,
will be but fulsome praise to
your burning ears
Culver with shame, whoever
you are. Culver as the shades
of night fall, lest some demon of
the dark appears before you,
| and pointing it's bony finger at
you, exclaim: you wrote that
letter!'' Scream with agony as
you dream of the contempt which
the people of Ely hold toward
you-scat, you worthless being

Killed at De Lamar.

Last Wednesday afternoon an
accident occurred at the Bam-
berger-De Lamar mill, whereby
Joseph Testa lost his life. He
was working with the gang that
cleans the tailings out OF the
tanks, and while stepping over
a shaft in the basement, his
blouse caught, whirling him
around and almost pulling his
right arm of. He was AZ years
of age, and has lived in this
country twelve years. He has a
wife and two children in Italy.

SOME MORE
RAILROAD TALK
Surveyors Now in the Field Be.
tween Ely and Eureka.

It seems Chat the long-expected
move that the Eureka & Palisade
Railway has been contemplating
in this direction has made its
initial start. The news concern
ing the operations of that COM
pany comes from a reliable
source, and though meager in
detail, as railroad preliminary
work generally is, enough has
been learned to lead US to the
hope that the toot of the loco
motive may be heard in Ely ere
another year has rolled by. It
will mean much to this place,
and much more to the E. & P.
r. r. in the way of an additional
increase in the freight and pas
senger business, which will
necessarily follow in the settle
ment of the country along the
proposed new route.
A party of surveyors are now
engaged in making preliminary
survey for the extension of the
road from Eureka to Ely, and
last Tuesday were at work in
Jake 8 Valley, near Moorman's,
and on the following night they
made a camp at Round Springs.
The surveyors had previously
been at work in the vicinity of
Ely for the White Pine Copper
Company, of which M. L. Requa
| is the President, and also the
President Of the Eureka & Pali-
sade Railroad. 1t is probably
the extensive preliminary work
that has just been done in de-
veloping the copper mines IN
this section of White Pine county
that convinces the E. & ?. R. r.
of the financial returns to be
gained by coming this way as
soon as they possibly can.
The company has erected an
experimental plant to ascertain
the best and cheapest process OF
reducing the ore, and the ma
chinery is all in place except one
piece, which has not yet arrived
at the works, but is expected to
be in place and the works in full
operation by next week. The
outcome Of the experiments for
which the company as arranged
will determine if the large re-
duction plant, on which the com
pany has agreed, will be built.

SCIENTIFIC
Result Of Dietary Tests.

Result of Dietary Tests.
In paper read before the National
Academy of Sciences at Washington,
April 20, Professor R. H. Chittenden
of the scientific school at Yale gave the
principal conclusions arrived at by his
recent dietary experiments in which a
number Of soldiers, students and pro-
fessors were engaged. His main con-
clusion is that the average healthy man
eats from two to three times as much
as he needs to keep him in perfect
physical and mental health and vigor.
He said that all. of the subjects re-
manned in the best of health during
the test and only a few lost in weight,
while their bodily vigor and strength
were much greater The plan had been
to greatly reduce the amount of meat
and other foods.

Boston Church Statistics.

Boston Church STATISTICS.
The Massachusetts bureau of Stats
tics has made public the results of the
church census of Boston made by the
Massachusetts Sunday School associa-
ton. Only about 40 per cent of the
population gave preference. Of these,
Catholics were most numerous in ev-
cry ward except two, where they were
outnumbered by Jews. Catholics had
1O9,4OO in all. Next come the Baptists,
counting 2O,625; the Congregationalists
almost as many, 2O,319; Of Protestant
Episcopalians there were 1865; Of
Methodists there were 14,O13. The
next in size of the religious bodies
were the Jews, who numbered 1899.
After these came 9,157 Unitarians Of
Lutherans there were 4,437, of Univer-
salists 4,11S and of Presbyterians 4, 1OS.
No other body counted 1000 members.
Notes.
Prominent churchmen in a number
of denominations have organized the
American Bible league to oppose the
higher criticism and to defend the
idea Of Biblical inspiration which we
associate with the reformation.
Rev. D. Hulburt in the Baptist Stand
