"Opera is not written nowadays be- cause of the scarcity of prima donnas to sing 1t. They are scarcer than gold mines, but feel that we have a real one herein fact, a great one." Thus spoke a well known musical critic last season after hearing Miss Vera Michelena in the title role of Princess Chic" This sea- son Miss Michena stands in line for even greater enconiums of praise and promise, for with added experience and a maturer are she is now a full-fedged star, in the title role of The Jewel of Asia," the new musical comedy by Frederick Rankon and Ludwig Englander, which scored such a success last season at Dalys and the Criterion theatres, New York.

Chauncey Olcott might have made fortune as a song writer. had he not proved a delightful comedian and singer, that he had no need to write songs for a living. As 1t Is, his pretty bits of mel ody set to tenderly sentimental words, earn him a good income each season. Every year MT Oleott turns out a batch of new songs to sing in a new play. Songs that fit the circumstances of the play and dovetail with the interest of the sto- " enacted. His songs have been sung in homes from the Atlantic to the Pa cifc oceans. and from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico

Progress at Hazen.

A letter to the STANDARD from
Hazen states that matters are
beginning to assume a livelier
air about that section, several
new homesteads having been
taken up during the past week,
and many settlers coming in to
inspect the land, and it begins TO
look as though both the rail
road station and post-ofice
would mateiialize in a short
while.
The two-story building being
erected by H. {. Lawrence on
the north side of the railroad
track is about completed, and
Mr.. Lawrence has already
moved into his new quarters.
Chas. H. Beach is a new set
tier at Hazen, having taken up
a homestead about two miles
from the town.
w. E. Higman has obtained a
lease on a piece of the railroad
company's land and is about to
erect a warehouse 30 60 feet
in dimension. Six carloads of
lumber and large consign nent
of goods are now on the way.
Mr.. Higman will conduct a lum-
Der yard in connection with his
store.
!. G. Acorn was an arrival
from Salt Lake this week. He
proposes to establish a livery
stable at Hazen, having received
a carload of horses, carriages,
etc, with more on the way.

Murderer Confesses.

For some time past it has been
an open secret at the prison that
Albert Linderman, alias Will
liams, sentenced to death as one
of the principals in the killing OF
ack WEIGH, in Humboldt coun-
ty last summer, was about 10
relieve his conscience, says the
Appeal.
From things he dropped now
and then to his guards, they
knew that q confession was
close at hand and Warden Con-
sidine has been ready for it the
last two weeks. Attorney
General Sweeney was appraised
of the fact and he had already
made arrangements to have 1t
brought properly before the Su-
preme Court as part OF the rec
ord. District Attorney Warren,
of Winnemucca. had already
singled out Linderman as the
man who was not a profession
al criminal and the one likely to
confess. Night before last he
wrote the confession and signed
the same.
There were no inducements
held out nor was the slightest
coercion used. The confession
exonei ates Roberts, the young
est of the q%uartette, and it was
rumored that now the COMES
sion of Linderman is out, that
German and Sevenier will follow
suit and exonerate Roberts.
Such a course might possibly
save the young boys neck.

Progressive Indians.

Within a stones throw of Fail
lon is an Indian settlement, the
population of which is anything
ifnot progressive.
The village comprises some
fifty or more substantial wood
EN- cabins, built on either side of
a wide, clean street. Nearly ev-
cry inhabitant has a fair under
standing of English.
The,latest move towards beau
tifying the settlement is the
numbering of the houses. This
work has been in active opera
ton for the past ten days and is
being executed in a most unique
manner. Above the door of the
cabin is painted in black the
street number and just below,
in red, is painted number which
indicates the size of the family
therein.
The writer paid a visit to the
little city one day this week and
was heartily welcomed by the
braves, who spared no efforts to
explain the work in hand On
one door we noticed the design
of bow and arrow printed in
chalk. Inquiry showed that the
Strrk was lowering about this
home, the object of the design
being to inform the other resi-
dents that there was to be a
new arrival in camp. The work
for the most part is being done
by the squaws, iii keeping with
the custom of Tradition.
After the work of numbering
the houses has been completed,
a grand pow-wow will be held
to celebrate the event. At this
gathering there will be chosen
for his honor and integrity, a
Chief who shall act as an arbite
of all difficulties that may arise
among the Indians. He shall
be known as I'm Se-Goo-GoO
and receive compensation for his
services and hold Office during
good behavior. From his de
cision there can he no appeal.
IN consequence of which he will
be looked upon as the greatest
of the great redskins. Already
many candidates are shieing
their castors into the field and
a lively campaign is anticipated
previous to the election.
Surely, these Indians deserve
a world ofcredit for the manner
in which they r. building up
and undermining their town.
The example is worthy of con-
sideration by the whites is all

Insurance men tell US that total alb
stainers live longer than moderate
drinkers. This can hardly be considered
as new discovery. If alcohol acts as a
poisonous agent on the human system
the effects of moderate imbibing must
be cumulative Many little makes q
mickle.' Moderate drinking means an
occasional moderate reduction of the
animal heat. This fact is patent to all.
Therefore, the moderate use of strong
drink interferes moderately with the
chemical action in the CAPT laries. by
which the natural heat of the body is
generated. This means that there is an
occasional moderate draft on the stock
of vital energy of the system. Conse
quently the moderate drinker must
needs wear out sooner than the total
abstainer, other things being equal.

Faithful Unto Death.

The. Pioneer Press, of Minnesota,
prints the following incident which
occurred at Great Falls, Montana.
The victims Of the recent blizzard
that swept over the northern portion
OF that State, killing thousands oil
lambs and a number of cattle are
now being found with the passing OF
the snow. In nearly every case the
victims were sheep herders who
were caught in the storm and frozen
to death before they could reach
shelter. Almost without exception
these sheep herders are men with.
ont connections OF any kind.
Oneof the most pathetic cases that
has come 70 light is that of William
Plumber, an aged man. whose sole
friend, SO far as known. was a hand.
some shepherd dog which he had
raised from puppy. This dog
could do almost everything except
talk. When Shep, as he was called,
dragged himself into the little sheer
town of Shelby, with two of his legs
frozen. the fate of Plumber was
known. Ii was useless 10 prosecute
search for him without the aid oI
the dog, and as the animal was,
apparently, too disabled to make
another move, it was proposed Il
wait several days before searching
for the body of the missing man.
Shep, in spite of his condition,
was ready to lead the party, howev.
er. and although the progress was
slow and painful over the snow-cov-
cred hills and wales, the faithful dog
led the party to the body Of his mas.
ter. Crouching beside the froseu
corpse the the dog. worn almost to
shadow by the hardships he bad
undergone. uttered a long. penetrat.
ing wall, and then, licking the cold
face of his master expired. Plumb.
er and the dog were buried in the
same grave.

Now General Gordon had received
orders to let private property alone
There was to be no burning and pill
lage charged against Confederate
troops in Pennsylvania il it could be
avoided. And so, though the mill
tiamen themselves had started the
work of destruction, General Cor
don assured the people the fire
would be extinguished by his men.
So the brigade stacked arms in the
middle of the long street that formed
the town. Hardware stores were
broken into and dozens OF buckets
secured. Then two long lines were
formed by the men in gray. privates
and officers alike. One line passed
back the empty buckets to the river
and the other passed the buckets
filed with water to their comrades,
who dashed the water on the flames
till the danger was finally over.
