SILVER BOW
| Standard Makes its Appearance With
| GiIded Headlines.

The Silver Bow Standard, edited by
Leslie SMALL, formerly of this city,
has again made its appearance. The
paper comes this week under new
order of affairs Aside from the gen.
eral news of the coming camp the
following was taken:
A limited number of this issue of
the Standard had the headline printed
in pure gold dust from the Reed and
Robbie lease This is the first time
in the history of Western Journalism
that such a paper was ever turned off
the press. An effort was made to
print the whole issue in gold, but
close calculations showed that the cost
of the same would amount to a sum
far in excess of the real value OF the
entire plant, editor. force and all. The
dust with which the headline is bronz-
ed assays $4,000 per ton and this
paper will not resent any attempt On
the part Of the outside press to refer
to this number as a yellow journal. .

A THEATRICAL REVIVAL,
Ten Nights in Bar Room More Popu.
lar Than Ever.

John F. Stoves stupendous modern
scenic revival of T. S. Arthur's "Ten
Nights in Bar Room" will be at the
Carson Opera House January 18th.
The big company of players will
appear in gorgeous scenery and SET
comiums from critics in the cities
tings and a confidence begot of en-
where they have already appeared.
Mr.. Stowe will not only afford amuse-
ment lovers opportunity of hearing a
pure, sweet story, but promises a pro-
duction that excells in magnifcence
and correctness al former efforts. A
noted author of several Christian
works is responsible for the version
employed and brighter bit of elabor-
ating should not be desired. He has
not only built an interesting stage
story, but introduced new characters
to such an extent that some twenty
players are required. Where the book
was void Of humor he has sprinkled
his version with comedy. Also he has
cIeverly served his purpose of expos,
ing the danger Of rum by prominently
advancing the more sensational points
of the story by the introduction Of a
gambling hell, a realistic mob scene
the Sickle and Sheaf tragedy and a
heart touching scene between drunk
ard Morgan and his child,

TAPPED THE MACHINE
Burglars Make a Rake Off From Torn
Heidenreich's NickIe-in-the-sIot Box.

The first robbery to be reported in
this city in many moons tooq place
sometime Friday night, when burg
lars wrenched off the back of the
nickle-in-the-slot machine at Tom
Heidenreich's saloon and took the
cash that was in the sack, all quarters,
and left a sack of nickles valued ut
about twent y dollars. In all the rob-
bers secured about forty dollars.
The entrance was effected by the
back door, where a window pane was
broken and the bold slipped back. A
Jimmy was placed in the door on
the back of the machine and it was
wrenched off One feature of the af-
fair was the fact that the thieves for
got to take the cash in the runway
and thereby overlooked about five dol
lars.
While the police department does
not state positively who did the work,
yet they have q suspicion of a couple
of townsmen, whom they have under
their eye. The work was evidently
that Of a novice and someone familiar
with the place. No liquors were
touched and the till was not opened
Before leaving the place the parties
who raided the place pasted a piece
Of paper over the broken glass and the
robbery was not discovered until the
next morning when the day shift
went on.

BEGINNER IN THE COUNTRY.
He Is Advised to Go Slow at First
 to Avoid Failure.

to Avoid n Failure.
 There is no better motto for the be. ginner in amateur farming or poultry raising than Go slow" says American Homes and Gardens. The beginner in these very expressing pursuits is apt to proceed with speed that sometimes approaches that of railroad express train. He begins by purchasing farm. This means that in most cases he pays more for his land than 1t is worth to its preceding owner. It means, prac' tically, permanently locating himself in a new and untried region, to remove from which would entail considerable expense, and which may be an opera tion he will have great difficulty in ac- complaining, especially if he must sell his property before removing from it.. The next step will be the purchase of a quantity of tools and material and then, if he fancies poultry raising, a start on as large scale as his means permit.
 Then the troubles begin. The min
 
 ute directions of the various books and periodicals he has so eagerly studied are found to be difficult of practical application. Unforeseen circumstances arise with disheartening rapidity. The season is bad, his stock sickens and dies, he has no idea what to do and no place where he can obtain the neces- sary information. Like the gentleman of scripture. his second state is worse than his first, and there is no health in it. If he can he withdraws from the operation, a chastened and money less man. If he cant, his soul becomes consumed with hate, hate for his land, his house, his fowls, his trees, his gar. den, his fruits, his vegetables. Too late. he realizes that the more haste the less speed.
 The newcomer to the country must be prepared to find everything different from what one has been accustomed to in the city. It would not be the coun- try were it otherwise. One moves into the country not only for greater space, but for the complete change of life which is one of the inseparable charms of country living. Yet the difference between the two modes of life are apt to be very great.

ONLY SEVEN IN A CENTURY.
Umbrella Improvements Have Not
 Been Frequently Patented.

Umbrella Improvements Have Not
 Been Frequently Patented.
 Up to few years ago, it Is said, by the American Inventor, only seven pat ents on umbrellas had been issued in the United States in one hundred years.
 The ribs and stem of an umbrella are generally made in factories having speciality of these items and are sent thence to the real manufacturer. Here first the man whose work it is to as semble the parts inserts q bit of wire into the small holes at the end of the ribs, draws them together about the main rod and puts on the ferrule.
 In cutting the cloth seventy-five thicknesses or whereabouts are arrang- ed upon splitting table, at which skilled operators work. In another rooms are number of girls who op- crate hemmiDg machines. A thousand yards of hemmed goods is but days work for one of these girls. The ma chimes at which they work have a speed of 5000 revolutions minute.
 After hemming the cloth is cut into triangular pieces with a knife as be- fore, but with a pattern laid upon it. The next operation is the sewing of the triangular pieces together by ma chinery.
 The covers and the frames are now ready to be brought together. In all there are twenty-one places where the cover is attached to the frame in the average umbrella. The handle is next glued on and the umbrella is ready for pressing and inspection.
 The development of the umbrella has been rapid in the last few years. We pick up even cheap one nowa- days, press button and the top spreads itself like an eagle ready for its flight. We are going away and an ordinary umbrella is too long to put in our grip. We find among our as- sortment one that ismeant for just such an emergency, and which, in most ac- commodating manner, folds up to suit the size of our travelling bag. Other new ones lock with key. Some spread their shade over eight or nine feet of territory, and manufacturers aver that these are but few of the improvements which we may expect.
