until such time as relieved. He hadn't
the slightest idea of bestirring himself
as an official, and it never occurred
to him that he would be called upon to
exercise his official authority.
The unexpected was getting ready to
happen, however. Four days after the
departure of the warden his deputy
took a stroll through the woods with
gun upon his shoulder. 1t was simply
a matter of conscience with him, and
he did not intend to tire himself out.
He had heard OF no campers within q
dozen miles, and he was therefore con
siderably surprised at hearing the re-
port OF a rife a quarter of a mile from
where he sat resting upder a tree. He
knew that the hrearm had been dis
charged on the shore Of a pond sur
rounded by thickets and known as the
haunt OF the moose. 1t was more than
likely that, whoever the hunter might
be, he had fired at a moose and vio-
lated the law.
There was a feeling of authority IN
the young mans breast as he started
out to u down the violator. He did
not have much trouble about 1t. As he
neared the lake he heard a wounded
animal thrashing about In the grass
and water. and, getting still nearer, he
could distinguish a person In a canoe.
That. person was holding the discharged
rife across his knees as he sat and
watched the dying struggles of his
game. The canoeist was wearing a
nondescript garb, and 1t was three or
four minutes before young Taylor
made up his mind as to sex and nut
tered to himself:
by lingo, but It's a girl camper, and
she has surely shot a moose! What the
deuce am going TO do about arresting
her and conveying her twenty-five
miles through the woods?"
Two or three minutes later the moose
for 1t was a moose, and a big bull at
~that-ceased his struggles, and the ca
noe was padded to the bank.
That's right-come ashore!' called
Taylor. do you know that you have
killed a moose in the close season and
thereby subjected yourself to a heavy
ine ii not to imprisonment as well2
l am a deputy game warden, and it is
my duty to place you under arrest"

voice ms the canoe was slowly
pushed through the grass to the 1rm
shore.
Yes, and you-you"-
Taylor stood there for the next two
minutes and stared. He had at last

The Great Northern has announc-
ed a reduction on coal rates to go in
to effect in about thirty days. The
freight reduction will reduce the
price of hard coal about ninety cents
and soft coal about sixty-five cents
per ton, Other roads will doubtless
meet the rate. This reduction will
be appreciated by everybody because
everybody uses coal. -Iroquois Chief.
The new tariff schedule has been
filed by the G. q NV. R'y, and will
be effective October 9th. The reduc
ton amounts to about so cents per
ton. The prospects are, however, that
advance in the price of soft coal at
the docks will take effect about that

Submarine Monsters.
There is n passage In one of the an
cient Arab histories to the effect that
the white people come from the other
side OF tie sea-" This statement has
become so distorted among certain
tribes of natives of the Sudan that
they believe that the white men come
from the bottom of the sea. A willy
Arab leader in this district once in
formed his followers that they had
nothing to fear from the white men.
as they could not live away from the
water. The fact that a high official
took his bath daily was further con-
sidered conflrmatory evidence Of the
submarine origin of the white man.
The Arabs. in order to retain their In
hieiice ver tire natives. spread broad
cast the report that the white men
were cannibals. The fact that they did
not eat black men was explained as
doe to their devilish cunning. They
wanted to make themselves strong in
the country before beginning their hor-
rid practices. but a they could not al
together do without this kind Of food

ton had the unfortunate experience of

to believe, and it was only after q con-

.-<AH women work; some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread.
 All are subject to the same physical laws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, A1ickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, tumors, ulceration, falling and displace ments or perhaps irregularity or suppression, causing backache, ner- vousness, irritability and lassitude.

 How distressing to sec a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or per form her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female or ganism.

Reno Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.
 Though it has long been known that gold is plentiful In Humbolt county, 1t was not definitely known that nuggets flow through the water pipes until to- day, when word was brought to Winne- mucca from Spring Valley to this effect.
 Mrs. Slater, a young woman who went to Spring Valley, few weeks ago to teach school, turned on the water faucet yesterday morning when a bright gold nugget rolled out. Several particles of fine gold also accompanied 1t. It is be- leved the metal came from rich placer ground located close to the water supply, and more of the metal is expected.

There Is another reason why we revolt at the idea of annihilation at the grave. In our past career of selfshness and sin we may have evolved quite string Of logical arguments to prove that death doth end all" We may have read many works of a Voltaire a Hume, Boiling broke. a Gibbon or a Paine. We may have even argued ourselves into believ- ing that we were right and that when a man died he simply died and that was the end of him. But some few years ago we had all our annihilation theories knocked endwise. This was the wax IL happened: Death came to you. not as an unknown quantity. but in a terrible form.

Elk City Basin.

The true conditions which eX7
ist in the mining districts of Idaho
county have been but lamely de-
scribed to the public, particularly
the workings and values found
in the tunnels, shafts and cross
cuts that have been developed.
The mines of the Buffalo Hump
district have been developed to
such an extent that there is no
longer any doubt concerning the
great wealth contained in that
district which only awaits the
installation of a proper process
for the milling of the ore where
by the values can be saved.
Possibly the greatest mining
district of Idaho, at present, is
the Elk City camp, where more
than 100 claims have been and
are being developed whose values
have assayed from 81 and as high
as $780, 900 to the ton. This sum-
mer will see more than $3,000,-
900 invested in the camp in mills,
machinery and. underground
workings. Seattle Times.
