Losses.

A horsethief is at work in the north
ern part of the county. Word has been
received in Winnemucca that Mrs. Sol
Schubener has recently lost valuable

Oregon He says if the people there
will petition to the commissioners as
they have been advis d to do for a JUS

inuuence in intimidating the thieves.

Governor Sparks may be a true

for woman's suffrage herself, but to
circulate the paner and get 800 sigma

The Melancholy Cuckoo.

The American cuckoo belongs to the
woodpecker tribe and is only sum-
mer visitor, coming about the 1st of
June and leaving early in the fall for
Florida Unlike the English cuckoo,
ours builds its own nest and raises its
young, to whom 1t is most devoted
parent We have two species In this
country-the yellow bill and the black
bill, the latter being best known in
Pennsylvania. Both are smaller than
the old world species and differ from II
in color, being greenish olive above
and blush white beneath, while the
European bird Is black winged. The
American cuckoo has tail longer.t than
its body, which gives 1t a hawklike' ap-
pearance, and the plumage Is soft and
silky, like that Of the owl, which ena-
bles II to dy without making any
noise, SO that we often hear Its call
without being able to see the bird.
Burroughs says, This call of the cuck-

if the bird were alone In the world and
called on the fates to witness his des-
olatlon" He has never heard the call
answered. nor has he ever seen two

Burt Anderson was working in the

of the highway when he caught the
pounding of hoofs and the rattle Of

Milton driving by. He dropped his hoe

looking down the village road. His

Why there should be hardworking
poor men and idle rich men in the same
community Is question which no one
has answered and no one can answer
satisfactorily. That Is why the opin-
ion is so prevalent that the world,
economically considered, Is SO very
much out of joint. But although there
is so much unanimity in the opinion
that wealth ought not to be distributed
as ii now is, there Is still wide di-
yersity of opinion where there Is any
definite opinion at all as to how 1t real
~ ought TO be distributed. These opin-
ions may, however, be reduced to three
fundamentally distinct theories, which
| shall call the aristocratic, the social
istic and the democratic, or llberalistic,
theories. The aristocratlc theory Is
that the good things of the world be-
long more particularly to certain
groups or classes than to others by vir-
tue of some circumstance connected
birth or heredity and iQde-
pendently Of their iE6vluual achieve
ments. The socialistic theory is that
wealth ought to be distributed accord
ing to needs or according to some SIM
liar plan arranged beforehand and IN
dependently OF the individual ability
to acquire wealth In the rough and
ready struggle OF life. The democratic,
or liberalistic, theory Is that wealth
ought to be distributed according to
productivity, usefulness or worth.-T.

Brydone saw the collection, and the
prince maintained n regiment OF sculp-
tors who were rewarded proportion
ately to their success in designing new
and unparalleled combinations. The
effect upon superstitious peasantry
may be imagined. So serious wassthe
agitation that the government OF Sicily
threatened TO demollsh the wonderful
array several times. but prince of
Yalguanera was not to be offended-in
those days without the gravest cause.
Matrons of Palermo would not take
their drives in that direction, fearing
dire results. The inside of the house
was eccentric. in another fashion.
Here the madman diverted himself
with columns and arches and pyramids
OF cups and saucers, teapots and the
like cemented together. One column,
for instance, started from great por
celain vase of shape familiar in bed
rooms, but not elsewhere. The shaft
was teapots, with the spouts protrud-
ing. graduated In size up to capital
of fiowerpots. The openings Of win
dows were incrusted in this manner,
the chimney pieces were loaded up to
the ceiling, and the magnificent rooms
of the palace were divided by fantas-
tic arches of the same construction.
China was rare and fine in Sicily at
that day, and most of the pieces thus
treated had great value. The princes
bedroom was chamber of supreme
horrors. Reptiles awful beyond con-
ception had their home there, inter
mixed with pleasing busts and statues
which, If turned, showed skeleton or
a hideous representation of decrepi-
tude We have never observed an al
lusion TO these things In a modern
work of travel Perhaps the govern
ment destroyed them at the princes

The Zambezi river. carrying huge
volume of water two miles in width, as
1t reaches the western borders OF Rho

Gus gorge and thus traverses the north
ern plains of the country.
This great drop in the river has pro-
duced "the most beautiful gem of the
earth's scenery" the Victoria falls. AL
most twice as broad as Niagara and
two and a half times as high, an i'm
mense mass OF water rolls over its edge
to precipitate itself in magnificent
splendor 400 sheer feet into the narrow
canyon below.
Undeterred, the Rhodesian engineers,
without detractlng from the natural
beauty of the surroundings, threw
across the canyon a splendid $50 foot
cantaleyer bridge and thus opened the
way to Tanganyika, to Uganda to
Cairo.
This bridge, the greatest railway en-
glneering triumph of Africa, deserves
more than passing notice. 1t consists
of n central span weighing approx
mately 1000 tons, 500 feet in length
and 80 feet wide. The steel work is of
rolled steel weighing 400 pounds TO the
cubic foot The end posts Of the bridge
are over 100 feet long. The pull on the
anchorage apparatus Is about 400 tons.
The contract for the construction was
obtained by an English firm Of bridge
builders-the contract time fifty-hye
weeks The work Of erection was car
ried on from both banks, the material
being taken across the river by means
of an aerial electric railway. The cleo
trical conyeyor OF this cable way was
capable of dealing with ten ton load
at lifting speed OF twenty feet per
minute and traversing speed Of 300
feet a minute.
An initial difficulty in the construc-
ton OF the bridge was the securing
of firm foundation, and owing to the
crumbling nature of the bank n much
greater quantity OF concrete was neces-
sary than estimated.
The construction was happily unat-
tended by accidents of u serious nature,
though few slight accidents to body
work and the replacing from England
of one piece of steel work were record
ed. In spite of these delays the bridge
was linked up at n. m. on April i,
