The ancient grounding theory was, on

Rudolph Harting was presented with u
grounding last fall. He made for it n
splendid warm house and fed it till it
was fat. When the weather became cold
Mr.. Hog laid himself down and no
amount of coaXing could arouse him.
About three weeks ago Harting, an
ticipating that the animal would get up
on February >, placed under it six hens
eggs. On Wednesday six chickens broke
through the eggShelSl and nestled them
selves about the strange incubator.
Thursday the groundhog awokc and

he laid himself down and is again fast

Clergy Takes a Hand.

Rev. UnswOrth of Reno, paid his
respects to the legislature and its en-
actments on Friday night in Reno.
He discussed the twelve O'Clock law,
the gambling law and the laws in gen
eral.
He stated that the motto of the last
legislature was to get money, get
mon J dry or wet, get money"
DR.. Unsworth maintained that any
measure permitting gambling TO
spread was reprehensible and express.
ed the opinion that if all gambling
was conducted on the ground floor,
without screens, parents would have
better opportunities to watch their
boys.
The amendment of the nickelin-the
slot machine was characterized as
the browning infamy of the session,
on the ground that it allowed "the
cradle Of the city to gamble, and fos-
tered a generation Of parasites AMI
gamblers.
DR.. Ellsworth severely criticised al
editorial in a recent issue of tn cob
server, which had taken the stand thai
the legislators could not afford to be
termed moralists.
Here is a man. said the speaker
who is ashamed of being considered
moralist, in the face of the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt and the men
most honored in the country, are, In
the deepest sense, moralists." He
characterized as absurd the eXpecta
ton that reputable citizens would
maintain a lobby in Carson to OBTAIN
decent legislation.

Points Toward Peace.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-It is
generally believed that peace is being
negotiated in the Great East, as the
Gar is holding meeting with his
diplomats with that end in view. The
results of the war so far, and the
disasters that have waited on the Rus
sian arms, together with the home
troubles are believed to be bringing
about the condition.

battle is imminent, as the two oppos-
ing fleets are known to be close ID

THE STOCK MARKET.
Now II is Considered by the California
Authorities.


The Tonopah- Goldfieldr Bullfrog
stocks are having everything their owe

while the Comstock shares are weak
and absolutely dull. Dealers in the 1
new desert gold mines are actively en-
played, making very aggravaeing
situation fer people who pin their
faith and none yon the future of the
old lode. But what is the use If
talking-money follows money, and go
long as a better chance offers to turn
a dollar or two IN the desert proper
ties, be they of merit or plain, un-
vanished wildcat, thither will trend
the coin of spectators. The Tonopah
list continues to swell with the col
slant addition of new companies,
some good and some bad. Those term
ed INSIDE" generally have something
to offer in the way of proximity to i
mine or recognized worth. Others,
again, lying of in unnamed and I'M
prospected territory, bordering on the
proved mineral zone, are safe to leave
alone on general principals. 1t is time
enough to take hold of wild game
of kind when STRIKE of some va
ue has been made and substantiate1
Reports coming along from Goldfield
tell of some interesting finds. although
not in the least sensational During
the past week, confirmat ton has been
received here of the discovery Of a
ledge of "sugar-quartz'' on the ''Des-
ert Rose" adjoining the Sandstone.
The find is said to hive been abou,
SO feet from the original shaft which
was abandoned. The vein is about
three feet wide, but the gold is found
in an Is inch streak of ore fit to ship
The streak promises to hold OUT,
as it ia said to look good and strong
Some 5000 Gre has been struck on
the Holmshaw lease, which will bear
shipment. Kruger shows good pros
pect but no shipping values. At the
Merchants Exchange Lease" on the
Stimler Traction, the sinking of the
shaft by double shift is attracting
much interest, every bucket of dirl
coming up being PANIED. Some very
high paintings have been obtained, bu
they have pinched out. One ASA!
obtained averaged $104. The Kenda
is pegging along quietly with an i'm
preston prevailing among the share
holders that these mines are yet &C
ing to Guido their already large
yield. In the Tonopan list, price
are generally steady, with, in som
cases,an easier tone. The sale .

An Extraordinary Fight.

On Sunday afternoon on the ex-
treme end of North Mcdowell street,
near the S. A. l.. shops, a fight, under
unusual circumstances, occurred. A
man named Witherspoon of Chaly-
beate Springs, brother-in-law of a..
man whose name is Morris, were the
participants Both men are white.
1t is said that the wife of Morris
complained of the treatment she had
been receiving at the hands of her
husband, and wrote 20 her brother,
asking him to come to her at once.
Witherspoon arrived n Raleigh
Sunday morning, and went directly to
the home Of Morris, who was away.
Late in the afternoon Morris went to
his home and seeing Witherspoon.
greeted him and passed into the dim
ing room. He was followed by his
wife and brother-in-law, the latter
accusing him of something which
Morris denied. 1t is said that a scuf-
fle ensued, in which Witherspoon
struck Morris with a pair of brass
knucks, probably extinguishing one
eye.
Mayor Powell said yesterday that
the case had been taken up by the
county constable, and the city could
not now interfere. No disposition has
been made of 1T as yet
