SENTENCE

The hot-headed often get cold feet.
Convenience often poses as con-
science.
1t doesn't take many bracers to
make a binder.
The honest cask does not fear the
knocker.
Jump at a conclusion and you will
find confusion.
Oily words easily gush from rocky
and barren hearts.
Things are not sanctioned by taking
out their sweetness.
Unless o lay out our work your
work will lay you out.
You cannot prove your grit by throw
ing SAND into the worlds sores.
While sympathy waits for second
thoughts selfishness gets the floor.
The things you look at in private
determine what you like in public.
No man ever made enough money
to build a mausoleum for his guilty
past.
Many a man thinks he is spiritual
because he has forgotten how to be
natural.
You can discount the patriotism that
warns up till the pocketbook is
in danger.
The tears that accompany a choking
up process are not always those of re-
pentance.
Trouble is the only thing that comes
in answer to the prayer for something
to turn up.
If you can keep sweet in a world
where ~selfishness is turning men sour,
you are doing more toward its enrich
ing than all the silver mines of all
ages.-Chicago Tribune.

Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
has divided Wall street into factions,

dreds of stockholders of both concerns
who hung on for years, hoping for

Francisco disaster, saying the road
had received a blow from which it
would take a long time to recover,

NEW MACHINERY FOR
The HURLEY PLACERS.

Perry Collins, the well known farm.
err of Fort Collins, who is now owner
of the old Gus Hurley ~placers, in Lin,
coin gulch, which for years have been
noted as among the richest in the
state, is now on his way to that sec
ton to prepare for the resumption of
work. He has enlisted a large amount
of Colorado capital in the enterprise
and before the season ends a big ma
chinery plant is looked for to be in
stalled there. The Hurley claims have
been worked for years, Mr.. Hurley
having PANIED a large amount of gold
at different times, in fact for more
than twenty years with a small amount
of labor and very crude methods he
took out gold enough to more than de
fray all his expenses. The new com
pany, which in all likelihood will be
formed in the very near future, will
have ample capital and it is expected
to expend about $4,000 for new ma
chinery at once.

Two freight trains on the Union
Pacific collided on the switch tracks
next to the river at the foot of Doug
las street at 10 O'Clock Wednesday
morning, but no one was injured, says
the Omaha Bee. Engine No. 1880 was
backing two empty box cars west and
engine No. 1902 was going east, back
ing a long string of cars. Neither
train was moving fast, but they came
together with such force that two box
cars were completely telescoped and
the engine was thrown off the track
onto the car inspectors office, which
was smashed to splinters. The in
spector had just come from his office
and it was lucky he had, for there was
nothing left of it but kindling wood.
One other car loaded with coffee had
the end knocked off.
