AT THE
SNAKE ROCK MINE
By Frank II. Sweet

7OYCE KILLIAN was only two
weeks from a select boarding
school in the East, where the
O. young ladies were zealousy
guarded from all contact with tne
rough outside world. Yet this morn
ing she was tearing down Snake-Rock
Canyon upon a mustang, not three
months from a bronco buster, with
gaudy. cumbersome horse trappings
that had been brought up from Mexico
more as a curiosity than for use
But there was no fear nor self
consciousness in her face, and instead
of trying to check the mustang her
hand went out from time to time to
stroke and pat it's neck encouragingly,
as her voice urged it on.
When she left the canyon she struck
a more level country. and here the mus
tang was let out to its full speed. Bed
rock was still ten miles away, and she
must reach it and be back to the mine
before night. 1t was already well on
toward noon
Bedrock was one = street town
which commenced and ended in tents,
with a few unpainted frame buildings
in the center. 1t was an hour after
noon when Joyce slipped from her
horse in front of the office OF Gregg
& Graw, mine brokers and operators.
Both Of the proprietors were in, and
both rose at her entrance. Young
ladies Of Joyce's type were not yet

KERN WON'T RUN
Will Not Be Democratic Candidate

Indianapolis, July 14.-John W.
Kern yesterday made the following
statement:
II shall not be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
You may state that just as positively
as YOU desire.'
In 1900 Mr.. Kern was the Demo
cratic candidate for governor. The
nomination this year would be given
to him without a shadow OF opposl-
ton if he would but say the word. lie
has received many letters from Dem
ocrats throughout the State who had
hoped that if Judge Parker were nom
mated at St. Louis and the national
convention passed off harmonlously
he would consent to become the stan
dard-bearer in Indiana.
Several would-be gubernatorlal can
didates have been waiting to hear
from Mr.. Kern His brief but I,9lnt-
ed statement is an answer to all IN
ouiries. 1t doubtless will cause IN
creased activity in the gubernatorlal
contest.

AN ERRONEOUS REPORT

The story in the local papers last
night about Richmond meat dealers
raising the price on meats one cent on
the pound was erroneous and mis-
leading. No such action has been or
will be taken by Richmond butchers.
They do their own killing here and
are not dependent on Chicago butch
ers for fresh and salt meats.
The Palladium is reliably informed
that meat will not be increased in
price here, if there is any change
from the prevailing prices it will be to
lower them. The butchers in this
city are in position to be independ-
ent, and they will not take advantage
OF misfortune to raise the price of
meats, which they could do if thew
wished to. Richmond butchers have
been treating the people square and
intend to continue to do SO.

For the Face.

Too much soap and water is not good
for the face: 1t has a tendency to coarsen
the skin and to make it rough. 1t should
be thoroughly washed at night before re-
firing to rest with good complexion soap
and warm water. All skins cannot stand
the same soap, so one or two kinds should
be tried. and when a satisfactory make of
soap is found il should be continued to be
used In the morning it will be sufficient
to battle the face in cold water using no
soap whatever. If liked, a little oatmeal
soap may be Used. After the nightly wash a
little emollent may be rubbed into the
skin to prevent roughness. and during the
day to cleanse the face rub it with tho
emollient, which should be removed by rub
