Up Against It.

Senators Foraker and Dick seem to
be up against it good and hard They
oppose the presidents programme for
railroad rate regulation. Recently an
Ohio Republican was bounced out of a
good fat office and Tennessee Re
publican nominated to succeed him.
Now, it cannot be asserted by me posi-
lively that that was punitive per-
Torrance or retaliatory act on the part
of the president, but l learned long ago
that two plus two makes four. Now, to
rob an Ohio Republican Of any sort of
an office, especially fat one, is to dis
turb all Ohio Republicans from the
Ohio river to the lakes for they have
an unwavering faith that they are all
born to hold Office, so that Senators
Foraker and Dick, who differ on many
things, are agreed to keep that Ohio
officeholder in Office or know the rea-
son why, so they are whetting their
knives, furnishing their swords, load
ing their guns for the fight of their
lives on the administration.

The people of Ohio must have a
queer feeling when they contemplate
their new Democratic governor. It's
the first one of that brand they have
seen since January, 1892, when James
e. Campbell made way in the guber-
material Office to William Mckinley.
Pattison is the fifth Democratic gov
ernor the Buckeyes have elected since
the close of the civil war. The other
four were Rise Up William Allen
old Bill, as he is usually called-R. NJ.
Bishop, George Hoadly and James e.
Campbell. but they have never been
able since the civil war to elect a
Democrat twice hand running. Wheth-
er they will play in better luck this
time remains to be seen.

The senate is going into a thorough
investigation of the isthmian canal af-
fairs and expenditures. This is not
agreeable to certain high and mighty
functionaries, but as the canal is go
ing, in any event, to cost vast amount
of money perhaps 81, ,000, 600. .000-it is
well for all concerned and all the rest
of creation to understand one thing
forever, and that is this-while con-
gress is perfectly willing to appropriate
every dollar necessary to build the ca
nal, congress intends, SO far as in 1t
lies, that every dollar appropriated
shall be economically expended.

Fire Brick Shipped East.

+. A. White, superintendent of the
Versailles Fire Brick and Clay Manu-
featuring Plant informed a represen-
tative of the Democrat this week that
the brick plant is receiving orders
IRON customers who were finding out
that the Versailles product possesses
qualities superior to any brick in the
country.
Supt. White had been filling orders
for a company at C%ofteyville, Kan,
and last week he received an order
for fire brick and fire clay for a
Pennsylvania company to be shipped
direct from Versailles to their works
located at Butler, Pa. This COM
pany manufactures oil and gas well
drilling tools and their furnaces re-
quire a grade OF bricks difficult to
secure. In the Versailles fire brick
they discovered the peculiar qualities
suited to their purposes, hence the
order was given to Supt. White and
the shipment made.
AS an evidence that price is no OBJ
jet when the right kind of product
is found is illustrated in this particu-
lar instance. Supt. White states that
these fire bricks cost the Pennsyl-
vania company four dollars per hun
dred laid down at their works, yet
they filled the bill and the company
was pleased on finding just what they
had been looking for. Another
thing which speaks favorable for our
fire brick and clay is the fact that the
shipment passed through St. Louis.
thence through Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and West Virginia, in which
states the manufacturers OF fire brick
have laid claim to the best product
in the world. The above shipment
proves conclusively that Supt. White
of the Versailles Brick Plant can
deliver ythe goods when necessary

Versailles Graded Schools.

Among other good things which
are coming to the front in Versailles
nothing appeals to the stranger COM
ing into our midst with more favor
than good public schools, and our
Board of Education, composed of
DC. Hardy, ST.. President, DR.. J.
W. Boles, w. l.. Stephens, John
Mechanism, Henry Moser and p.
II. Padgett, have taken the cduca-
tional reins in their hands to place
our schools in the highest rank.
Monday night the Board held a
meeting and the whole situation was
carefully gone over and it was decided
to employ another teacher other than
the corps recently selected and add
one more department to aid in max
ing the necessary changes. New
apparatus will be purchased and all
c~onveniences employed by which our
schools may be able to a~rticulate with
the State University.
While the equipment required to
place the schools Of Versailles on a
level with the frst-class graded
schools of the state President Hardy
states that the funds for the purpose
are now adequate and no pains will
be spared in meeting this demand.
This means a nine months term,
while the adjustment of another de-
partment will admit OF the entry of
pupils outside of this school district
who have been debarred simply be-
cause of a lack of room to accommo-
cate them. The present move means
a better local school system from
every standpoint, and our Board OF
| Education deserve great credit for

mouse got into Warren's house, and played havoc with his shoe
nd the raw-hide strings, hence he composed the lines below and
cad his experience to his classmates. Iii published without the
Dung authors knowledge
The wee little thing that got in my house.
That Burns speaks of, in ''To A Mouse -
1t came right up to my bedroom door,
1t wasn't afraid, Tor it had heard me snore.
I came right in, it was not afraid.
For it had planned this glorious raid.
l have no sympathy for it in the least,
I wouldn't have cared had it got in the yeast.
But it went right by my greasy suit,
And stopped when it came upon my boot;
l suppose it smelt my big boot first,
For if you believe me, it got the worst.
II Old Robert Burns were living now
I'd like to stand and tell him how
The wee COW ring, timorous beaste,
Came right in and made a feastie.
OF those celebrated raw-hide strings,
That l like to wind around in rings.
True, it knew but little of what twas about
But it eat enough to give it the govt.
1t eat a whole string and part of my shoe,
1t eat enough to last a week or two.
1t eat my strings and thought them ''rice,''
1t eat my shoe and thought it nice.
The strings were long, l do admit,
Yet the mouse eat 'em all, bit by bit;
And as for sympathy, l have none,
When gaze upon what it has done.
Burns was Scotch, and Scotch, too,
When a pesky mouse gets after my shoe
The poor little bitsy, cow'ring mouse,
That last night stole into my house.

.Indge Lindsay ON BnIIfrog.

Judge J. B. Lindsay formerly Justice
Of the Peace, of Tonopah, and at pres
ont a capitalist and mining man of the
Rullfrog section, arrived here Sunday
NIGHT to participate in the deliberations
of the grand jury. MI. Lindsay says
the Bullfrog district is looking better
every day and new discoveries are of
almost daily occurrence.
The very latest strike and what prom
ises to be one of the biggest and rich
est mines in the State of Nevada, judg-
mo from the extent of the deposit and
the sensational values of the discovery,
ID the Skookum-Bullfrog about IA
miles from Rhyolite, in a ~southeasterly
direction. The find was made by Edgar
Rolling, a prospector grubstaked by C..
w. McDorman. Mr.. Boiling picked up
som rich float and some pieces of rock
on the surface, which, when ~assayed,
cave the phenomenal returns of 1851
ner ton. He showed the assay certif-
Gates to several parties, among others
Zeb Kendall and Judge L.. O. Ray.
These gentlemen took an option on the
property for a considerable sum Of
money. they made an examination Of
the same, and while on the ground
Shorty Kendall placed a shot in a
cropping exposed about 20 feet from
where the first rock was secured, and
when the cropping was blasted off, over
" feet Of the richest ore ever dis
covered in the State of Nevada was
opened up.
Very much excited, the parties loaded
up with samples and returned to Rhyo-
lite, where the news of the marvellous
discovery soo became known. Assays
of the rock gave returns of from 200 to
1000 ounce in silver with some values
in gold, and from 5 to 10 per cent in
copper. The ledge uncoveredis over two
feet wide with well defined walls and
seems to be increasing in width with
depth, although not enough work has
been done as yet to determine how big
it really is. The groupings are exposed
for several hundred feet, and the ledge
can be traced for a thousand feet, show
ing that it is permanent.
A company was immediatly organized,
known as the Skookum- Bullfrog Mining
company, Incorporated under the laws
of the State of South Dakota with a
capitalization Of 81, 900, 900. The officers
and directors of the organization are as
follows: Zeb Kendall, president; l.. O.
Ray, vice-president; John Beckman,
secretary; 0. O. Kincaid, treasurer; c.
