Hobbey ominously, Il trust you will all

But the distressing quarrel was checked
suddenly. The light in Lovekin's kitchen
went out, puff! The little crowd in the
road Struggled together. Bang slammed
the ell door, and they saw a figure

bluff voice of Vets Lovekin that greeted
them. He had stopped beside his ell.

by a vigorous poke from Deacon Hob

in the center of the group.
Lovekin apparently detected menace in
this tone and in the visitation. "Parson
Tutt1e," said he, you can rig your gig
and come aboard alone for parley. The
rest of you stay where you are"
And after a time, the minister, adiured
in mumbling undertone, prodded and even
pinched disengaged himself from the knot
of men and went slowly up the lane,
stumbling in the ruts, his shoulders bowed
and his whole mien apologize and APP
prehensive.
Lovekin met him with clap on the
shoulder and a hearty word, and imme-
diately dragged him around the corner
of the ell.

with snort of relief, "our pastor amt
so pusillyanimous as some folks have
tried to make out!" He turned his back
on Deacon Hobbey and continued:
There are folks in this town that can
always tell their neighbors what to do

but they amt so blamed up-and-comin
about goin ahead themselves when the
pinch comes. These dooryard bosses

Say, Briggs" the deacon rasped, his
recent excitement readily and naturally
lapsing into childish rage, you have been

The minister blinked from one to the

would be quite a tug to get him to the
pond, and | kind O hate to throw even

Scowling at the minister's mystifed

The deacon's ishy gray eye bored the
unhappy clergyman. The parishioners
rose and lined up at the door. There
was no such thing as resisting this
churchly press-gang. With groan that
was audible, and prayer for guidance
Ander his breath, the little minister
passed out into the hallway, quavered
an evasive excuse and good-by to his

rack and led the way into the night,
Deacon Hobbey trudging at his side.
There was one weak glimmer of light

RAILROADS AND aoLDFIELD.

The completion of the broadgauge
railway to Goldfeld which win be an
accomplished fact before the middle
of next month will make Goldield the
big, active city of all of the state OF
Nevada. The Hazen cutoff will reduce
the running time of the passenger
trains to the coast cities by hours.
Tonopah will have to take second place
as the distributing point for freight to
all of the country south of it. Hun
dreds of men engaged in n way or
another in the freighting business will
i'm the future make Goldfeld their
headquarters. This one road will do
wonders in building up the city, but
according to well authenticated stories
other roads will be in course of con-
struction to the camp in the near flu
ture. The Santa Fe has already com
pleted a survey from Ivanpah and a
rough estimate has been made on the
cost of construction. A preliminary
survey has beer made from Los Vegas
on the Clark road. The latest is that
the Gould people who are now en-
gagged in building the Western Pacific
have secured an option on the CONTROL
ing interest in the Virginia and
Truckee road and intend to build a
branch line to Tonopah and Goldfield.
The more competing lines, the better.
For years the people of the state have
been in the clutches of the Southern

every cent possible from the mine own.

 both from a financial and trade and
 an industrial and agricultural stand
 point, remains distinctly favorable,
 says Banker Clews. Railroad earn,
 ings are fully maintaining their recent
 records. and bank clearings, not alone at New York. but throughout the country, are making new records monthly, the July totals showing a gain of ? per cent over July year ago and of 6 per cent over the largest July total heretofore recorded-that of 1902. Another striking feature is the official report of the New York state superintendent of banking, showing for the year ending with June the enormous increase of SS5.S36.OOO in deposits in the savings banks of the state. And our foreign commerce is keeping pace with our internal trade AS noted in these advices last week, the fiscal year ending with June made new records both as to imports and exports of merchandise; and such off cial returns as have been made for the month just ended indicate an active continuance of these favorable condi- tions. The United States appraiser at New York, for instance gives the ap- praised value of merchandise imported in July at S51,00O.00O. which is an in crease of more than S10,00O,0Oo com pairing with the corresponding month of year ago. This growth in import means a corresponding increase ill government revenues-is a matter of considerable moment at this time. and will become increasing. ly important should it continue. as it promises to, until congress meets in
