DecozahUe Buttons.

The decorative button craze grows
apace. and many dressmakers are now
making their own buttons, some of them
being exceedingly effective. One fash
ionable dressmaker, says Vogue has
been making very beautiful buttons on
as humble a foundation as the sides and
tops of pastebOard boxes. She has disks
the required size. usually as large as
dimes and nickels and these have a little
piece of cotton batting piled on them
and over the whole Is then drawn the
silk, velvet or fanciful covering, and
the variety OF these covers is almost
Infinite with the clever woman, who Is
natural designer. One of her most
effective buttons has a circle of silk
cut a good deal larger than the size of
the fundation. A little heading is then
gathered up in a circle close 10 the
center and drawn up snugly: the outer
edge of the silk circle is then gathered
and drawn up and caught on the under
side, making A fun gathered cover for
the button with a smart little rosette
in the center
These buttons are first covered plain
with the silk and then have tiny silk
folds crossing them. dividing the button
into quarters. sixths or eighthS, accord
ing to the number of silk folds crossing
the button. Such buttons are used by
the gross en- a gown, being set on at
every possible place as means of orna-
ment.

INDIAN KILLED
BY LIGHTNING

During the severe electrical storm
last Thursday, ."Harveston,n an old
Indian ranch hand employed ON the
Baker farm in Snake valley, was
struck by lightning and instantly
killed while sitting in his wickiup
near the Baker residence, says the
White Pine News a remarkable
circumstance attending the occurance
was that while every bone in the
Indians body appeared to be crushed
to pulp, not the slightest abrasion
was found ON the skin at any place.
Harveston has long been regarded
by the other Indians of the county
with suspicious fear. Some years ago
he became enraged with his squaw for
some trivial act, and seizing an axe, he
chopped off her head, filled it with
load and stuck it upon pole in front
of his teepee, where it remained until
another Indian stole it in the night
and buried it.
Since then the other Indians of his
tribe have religiously avoided him,
aud when the news was told to the
Indians around Ely of the horrible
manner in which he met his death,
they seemed well pleased. One old
fellow, when when told the news

acres in Washoe county and $500
acres in Nye county.

less, if the application called for less
than a quarter. The Government APP
