The Glorious Fourth.

The Fourth OF July, 1905, has come
and gone. Everything was done to
make the celebration successful one.
Many OF our business houses also pri-
vate residences were decorated with
the colors SO dear to the American
heart, the red, white and blue.
On Monday afternoon, July 3rd, a
base bail game took place between two
picked mines and during the game
a great deal OF interest was manifested.
Next in order came the horse racing.
A number of horses were entered
which created much excitement.
Early Tuesday morning our people
were awakened from their peaceful
slumbers by the boom OF the cannon.
A few hours later the bcmblation of
fire crackers started and not until af
ter dusk did the racket cease.
The literary exercises took place in
Lemaire's Hall at 10 o'clock and
were we'll attended. The exercises
were opened by invocation by the Rev.
M. w. Frary. Edith Kendrick and
v. G. Gelcich each favored the assemb
lage with recitation which were very
good and the reading OF the Declara-
tion OF independence by Il. E. Dris-
coll was we'll taken.
Special mention must be made of
Mr.. A. Pate, the orator OF the day.
His oration, though quite short, was
good and very interesting and was full
of patriotism and enthusiasm. Dur
ing the time of delivery not sound
was made and he held the audience
spell bound. At the conclusion the
audience united with the choir in
singing America" after which the
crowd di'persed delighted with the
exercises.
At l:30 the amusenients began and
we believe was enjoyed by all. The
sports consisted off ring tournament.
loot races, potato race, running broad
Jump, putting the shot, and Others.
The afternoon was entirely taken up
with the sports.
The celebration WAS brought to
close by grand ball. AS the time
approached for the grand march the
hall was filled with large crowd oi
happy men and women, ready to join
in the festivities. The merry throng
of dancers occupied the floor until
4 80 in the morning ard all went
home feeling they had spent an enjoy
able evening.
Thus closed the 10th anniversary
of Independence Day i'll Battle Noun.

THE DRAMA.

That the people of Battle Mountain
appreciate the talent of the Dramatic
Club was clearly demonstrated by the
large audience that greeted the COM
pany upon the rise OF the curtain at
the hall last Monday night.
Every reserved seat in the hall was
sold at an early hour in the day and
late corners had to occupy the "amerg.
ency benches" and quite a number
had to stand.
The piece presented "a Woman's
Honor, is drama of four acts, with
three ladies and seven gentlemen in
the cast. The drama has plot of
the most intense and unhagging in
terest. Humor, whit, sentiment and
pathos are most ingeniously inter
woven, and the business and surpris-
ing development of the plot engaged
the interest of the spectators from the
OcBlniiiS 10 the emu.
Miss Maggie Hinman in the charac-
ter of "Olive" acted her part well.
The spectacle of wronged woman
was presented to an appreciative an
dance in all its truth and touching
beauty.
Mrs Ida Weaver as "Sally" took
her part in highly creditable
manner and at no time did she
fall below the requirements of her
task. She deserves the highest praise
for her good work.
Miss Lulu Weaver as "Maria" made
splendid appearance and her acting
was the most pleasing element OF the
faithful picture she presented.
Mr. V. 6. Gelcich rs General Mark
Lester satisfied the most fastidious
present that the leading role was in
safe hands. Difficult, rs il WAS, every
word as well as every gesture was
natural.
PEDRO Mendez" the smuoih man
ncred web weaver WA. nicely handled
by Mr.. A. Z. Ramsdel.
Mr.. l.. NJ Biersmth did fairly well
in the character of Gregory Grimes" "
"Gilbert Hall' by +. Eads was
excellently acted. His part Was ably
and creditably represented.
Robert Glenn" impersonated by
J. R. Arndell was we'll taken.
Clarence Holcomb as "Ebeneze. "
could not be improved upon. His
acting was a truthful portrayal OF the
character to be represented. Clarence
missed his calling and the stage a
good commedian.
"Dr. Galcia was acted by c. s Har-
ris with all accustomed talent and
penetration.
Mr.. E. H. Lemaire, as prompter, WAS
out of slght.
Stanley Woolcock carried trunks
like an old timer.
Sweet music was discoursed be-
tween acts by the Lemaire Ochestra
and was enjoyed by all present.
The proceeds of Monday nights en-
tertainment will go into the Battle

MEDICINE FOR HUNTERS.
Simple Remedies That May Be Found
Useful in Camp.

From Forest and Stream
Did you ever notice how awkward one al
ways is with his hands the first two or three
days on a trip in the woods? Fingers seem
to get in the way of every ak, knife, fire,
splinter or thorns encountered, and the
suit is pair of hands more less dam
aged.
Adhesive plaster is found useful, but I
have found a compound made as follows
most useful and comforting: Equal parts
by weight of Japan wax. mutton tallow and
vaselne. melted together. While warm add
half as much glycerine. Fill metal primer
box with this, and at night rub it well into
the hands. 1t is neither sticky nor unpleas-
ant, and will cure damaged hands or chap
ped lips very quickly. | have never tried to
do so, but if raw linseed oil will mix readily
with this compound it will be found advan-
tageous Rubbing it alone on the hands is
a good plan; but while 1T heals quickly all
surplus must be rubbed off or it will ruin
any fabric with which it comes into con-
tact and can never be removed in any ordi-
nary way.
Tincture grindeIla should never be omit
ted. as it is a rapid and certain cure for ivy
poison and will alleviate the suffering in
duced by the bites of chiggers, sand fieaS
and mosquitoes. | consider it the most val
liable item in ones ditty box for summer

The Kaiser's Eye on Holland.

From the Metropolitan Magazine
One who watches the current of European
diplomatic opinion must be struck with the
fact that every writer on the trend of in
ternational affairs has sounded a note of
warning that the Netherlands must ulti-
mately fall, ripe fruit into Germany's
lap. Indeed. one pan-German organ has
already declared that the years of Hol-
lands independence are numbe red. that the
fall is imminent. This makes startling
news for American ears. which do not re-
ceive the never ceasing whisperings of the
international intrigue of continental courts.
But while the German paper may take an
alarmist view. there is still enough in the
-rumors to make one think o. nights. Any
attempt by the kaiser to gobbIe up Hol-
land means nothing less than a general
European war. That such step would be
bitterly opposed not only by France, but
also by England. is foregone conclusion.
Such a step would make inevitable a close
Anglo-French union, with little Belgium as
the lever and the tneater of war. Austria
would. through jealousy. be alienated from
her German brother, who would surely
draw to Russia in a union that the kaiser
has long desired, but never dared. Mean
while King William and King Edward con-
tinue to do their duty to their respective
peoples by posing as loving brothers. Just
how much this little piece of comedy ac-
complishes it would be difficult to say But
1t is not on record that the English dealers
have become rich through the sale of the
kaiser's photographs

Magnetic Seas.
From the London Telegraph.


In a recent note on the loss of the Norge
on Rockall Island attention was called to
an inquiry started by Professor Krogh of
Copenhagen, whether the compass of the
Danish steamer had been disturbed by
some mysterious magnetic influence. It
was shown that in two other instances the
compasses of steamers in the neighborhood
of Rockall had been DETECTED as much as
ten to twenty degrees. On this subject
Mr.. Arthur Harvey, F. r. S. (Ca.), writes
to from Toronto to say that he inyes.!-
gated the question some time ago. and in
a paper on Terrestrial Magnetism he
quoted a statement that "the influence on
the compass of great of basaitic
rocks can be traced at distance of fifty
miles" This dictum, he says. rested on
high authority, and there are besides 'au-
thenticated instances in many cases of the
influence being felt for twenty miles, Mr..
Harvey was led to ask whether masses of
rock which ordinarily have a Slight effect
on the compass could set it all wrong dur
ing magnetic Storm and whether at such
times submerged reefs derange the needle
He was assisted by the officers of the allan
Line steamers. who reported cases OF eX-
traordinary compass reflections near shores,
one of the worst being the south coasts
of Devonshire and Cornwall. This necu-
iarty, If confirmed. might explain the 9TH
erwise unaccountable strandng of one Of
the American liners on the Manaclas.
piled upon certain parts Of the Island os
Newfoundland especially near Cape Race,
also in the gulf of st. Lawrence and on the
Atlantic coast of southwest Nova Scotia.
The navigators usually ascribe the losses
to erratic currents. but Mr.. Harvey thinks
they may be due TO compass disturbances,
as the rocks and headlands are mostly
primitive basalts. Messrs. Allan and 9TH
ers have urged the Canadian government to
make complete magnetic survey of these
coasts. 1t seems to be certain that there
exist rocks and shoals where there is a
constant detection Of the needle. One such
is the region of Niagara Falls, "around
which the magnetic lines curve respectfully,
and in several places north of the Great
Lakes the compass will scarcely work at
all. Rockall may be a similar spot, the
influence of which is possibly much in
creased during magnetic storms. Our cor
respondent makes the valuable suggestion
that ships approaching such places should
be warned by wireless telegraphy, Mag
netic storm prevailing"

A Key to the Labor Problem.
rom the Engineering Magazine.

From the Engineering Magazine.
1t has become an axiom in the CONNER
cial world that in the long run those trans
actions most promote prosperity which are
advantageous alike to buyer and seller. 1t
is coming to be realized in the industrial
world that the same thing is true regarding
the arrangements between employers and
employees. and that no arrangement is per-
manent that is not regarded as being bene-
fetal to BOTH In other words, the only
healthy industrial condition is that in which
the employer has the best men obtainable
for his work, and the workman feels that
his labor is being sold at the highest mar
ket price.
The employer who insists on more service
than he pays for and the employee who de-
mands excessive wages for his work both
lose in the long run. The former worries
continually about how to manage dissa It's
fled workmen who are continually on the
verge of a strike and in dull times the
latter lives in constant dread that his en-
ployer may no longer be able to continue
business and he may be out of work The
important thing for the average workman
is not that he shall have exceptionally high
wages during times Of great prosperity. but
that he shall have continuous employment
and fair wages at all times.

Ambidexterity.
From Public Opinion.


AS defined by it's secretary the principles
which it is the object of the AmbidextraI
Culture Society of England to maintain
are: 1. That it is possible to do two things
well at the same time, and that every or
dinarily intelligent person is capable of be-
coming an expert in the performance of
two concurrent and unrelated acts as he
can be in the separate accomplishment of
one. 2. That the acts which are thus des-
ignated as concurrent or simultaneous are
so far as the senses can be determined alb
solutely so whatever the refinement of
analysis and science may ultimately de-
clare them to be. For all practical DUR
poses they occur precisely at the same in
slant, though they may be theoretically
nothing more than inconceivabIy rapid al
terations of volition. 3. That certain
amount of simultaneous work, under speci-
fled conditions, is healthy and expedient.
That under other particular conditions
i. is necessary and harmless. 5. That while
1t is both proper and advantageous to pre-
ton of two-handed work, and more es-
pecially of tWo-handed writing. during their
school life, it would be unwise If not per-
nicious, to encourage or prescribe for ar
tisans and others the least amount of ST.
multaneous manual labor over and above
what has hitherto been found requisite for
the effective execution of the work to be
done in the several industries of manu-
featuring life.
Commenting upon this subject 1.-The New
York Medical Record says that there
would seem to be no valid reason why the
left hand should not, at any rate, be put
to far greater use than is at present the
case The comparative lack OF skill in the
left hand Is frequently a source of discom-
fort and even of loss to the individual"

Monkeys as Gay Ways.
From the Lahore Tribune.


Recently a gay monkey got the better Of
the common enemy, the carrion crow, by
fe;gning illness. He was fastened to a
bamboo pole with running ring. When he
was on his perch the crows annoyed him by
stealing from his porringer on the ground
One morning they had been specially dis
agreeable. He closed his eyes and feigned
bad illness. When his days food was
brought him the crows descended upon it,
and he had scarcely strength to defend 1t.
By good acting he managed to capture one
of the crows. To pluck it alive was the
obvious course. Then, instead of pulling it
to pieces, like the king monkey whom Kip
ling and Sir Edward Buck watched enjoy
ing a similar triumph at Simla, this monkey
tossed the crow into the air, where its own
companions fell upon it and killed 1t. Mon
keys certainly have sense of fun. OAR
win used to spend hours watching young
female orang-outang in the geological
gardens, and was sure that she had the
comic sentiment. She delighted to put on
her head, like a cap, a peculiar shaped bowl,
which had droll effect, and she was sensi-
tive to the effect which her joke produced
upon the spectators
