isn't appendicitis.

A good story is told on our genial
neigbbor, A. G. Martin. As he was
about ready to commence planting
corn ne discovered that his planter
headed re pairs. He at once set out
for d, Smet to get them, found what
be wanted, made the purchase, did
some other business, and linked"
for home. When near home it dawn
ed upon his intellect that he had for
Tgotton to put those repairs into his
wagon. One of the important com
mandments couldn't bear the strain
of that moment, it yielded, and like
the planter, was broken. Next time
he goes to town he will doubtless
take his wife with him.

Russia's Ruler Owes This Title to h
slip of n Pen.
The czar of Russia owes n of his
titles to a slip of the pen. The Chinese
character pronounced Hwang, meaning
emperor, was originally compounded OF
t@e elements meaning oneself ami
ruler by which it was intimated that
an emperor or ruler of men should, be-
fore all things. be master Of himself.
In after ages, however, by the omis-
sion of a single stroke, this character
assumed its present corrupted form, in
which the component elements signify
white and ruler" white having tax
en-. the place of the original oneself"

a st. Petersburg correspondent of the
London Times that this had been liter

BLOCKADE RAISED
ON PAPER ONLY
Fully Fifteen Hundred Narrow
Gauge Cars Loaded are
Already Waiting.

The announcement was made on
the 2lst inst that the freight block
ade had been raised, and although
it is a fact that Manager Tripp is in
receipt OF a telegram from Southern
Pacific department head, stating
that the embargo which prevailed
for some time in the matter Of
through freight shipments, consigned
To this district, has been raised, it is
likely to be some time yet before
freight shipped at this date will
reach here.
Inquiry at the railroad offices here
failed to elicit any further iuforma-
tion than that contained in the tee.
gram referred to, but latera railroad
empove whose intimate knowledge
of the freight traffic is beyond ques-
ton, estimated that the freight
now awaiting transfer IS sufficient to
load about fifteen hundred narrow
gauge cars. Tie lifting of the embargo
may be considered much in the light
Of a paper transaction, carrying
with it little more than the hope that
it will become effective in the neal
future.

MINING NEWS OF THE WEEK.
BIG STRIKE WEST END MINE.-L7ERTY is BOOMING
ORE.


The event OF the week, and what
is occupying the center Of the stage
in local mining circils today, is the
reported strike in the West End
mine. The mine had been shut down
for upwards of year, previous to
couple of weeks ago, when work was
resumed Last evening work was
again stopped, but this time it was
Immediately followed by very per-
ceptible rise in the stock, owing to
the statement that strike had been
made. SO far no enthusiastic infoc-
nation concerning the truth or fall
slty of the statement regarding the
strike can be obtained, as everyone
in a position to know, is maintaining
a sphinxlike silence, pending, it is
said, the receipt OF kilograms from
San Francisco. Meantime the de.
mand for the stock is persistent, but
there is none to be had, all holders
declining offers.
