very lovely they are. yet the richer
their beauty the ranker their taste.
The purple emperor. one Of the finest
butterflies, likes nothing for dinner rs
well as dead cat--a cat five or six
days dead.
'Other beautiful butterflies subsist
upon spoiled fruit. Fresh fruit they
won't look at 1t must be falling
to pieces with rottenness.
Even in their drink some of the
loveliest butterflies have perverted
taste. Turning scornfully from dewy
rose petals and from crystal springs,
they seek out. the West foulest pud-

ENTOMBED men
STILL HELD
PRISONERS

ELY, New, Dec. 22.-The 500-foot
level of the Alpha shaft was reached
by the rescuing party today, as the
indications point to the probability
that the ground from there down
is standing solid, it is expected that
the work will progress very rapidly IN
the next few days. The ground where
the run occurred is still settling, how
ever, and from time to time it will be
necessary to fill in the space with cord
wood. The entombed miners stated
today that they have enough provi-
sions on hand to last them for three
weeks. Owing to the frequent runs Of
earth that have occurred the past three
days it will probably be two weeks be
fore the men are rescued. The air
confined for weeks in the manway last
night Kissed through an opening made
by a miner. proving that the time when
the rescue of the men can be effected
is not so far in the future as was at
first thought. One danger above all
others stares the rescuers in the face.
A cave below the piled-up muck and
timbers on which they are working
will render them helpless to cope with
the existing danger and to guard
against the workers being thrown to
the bottom of the shaft, each man
works with a rope tied around his body
and secured from above. If no cave
in occurs on the lower level it is be
lieved the men will be Released with
in two weeks.

MINERS BATTLE
TO SAVE CLAIMS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.-The
hearing before United States Commits
sioner Heacoek of a suit brought by
the government against the Central
Pacific road to set aside patent to min
eral ground claimed by the company
under the alternate section grant act
went on again yesterday afternoon.
and will probably be concluded at 10
o'clock this morning.
Several miners and p%rospectors gave
testimony in support of the govern
ment g contention that the ground is
heavily mineralized, according to their
statements, the veins ou%tcropping ev-
cry hundred feet or so and from a
width of five to fifty feet. 1t was
stated that on an average the lodges
would assay at least $40 to the ton,
running all the way from So to $500 a
ton, and in many cases of a free mill
ing character.
The disputed section is near Cisco,
in Nevada county, Cal, and in addi-
tion to the quartz mill which was con
structed several years ago, there is
another just constructed, which will
begin dropping 40 stamps within two
weeks, with ore enough blocked out te
keep it busy for years. As the clash
comes over this particular property
its success is dependent on the prov.
ing of the section mineral, which will
take it out of the railroad company :
hands.

THE RICHEST BANK
IN THE WORLD

A Chicago banker, when censured
by his fellows for having invested in
western mines, arose in a directors
meeting and thus defended his action:
Throughout the Rocky mountain
ranges age gone, God built stronger
vaults in His granite banks than ours.
He filed these vaults with gold, silver
and copper. He gave the prospector
insight and guided him on hins way
to the door of the bank vault. The
federal government handed him his
title to 'all herein 1t is no crime,
but virtue, to enter.
"With blast, pick and spade, this
poor man broke the combination lock
and entered. But for him our notes of
issue would be as the stump and tail
currency of 1857. But for him this
government would be bankrupt. Mines
will be producing 800, 100000 in gold
and copper on that future day when
national banks are unknown. Remem-
Der, a mine is simply a crop al
ready raised and deposited in the
bank. You check it out at your
pleasure

The Nevada Hills company of Fair
view paid a regular dividend of 10
cents per share on its issued capital
stock, December Goth.
The amount distributed among the
stockholders was $4,000, which brings
the total dividends paid by this com
pany up to $4,000.
The Nevada Hills is Incorporated for
a million shares of a par value of 81
each, 100000 of which have been issued
and the remainder are still in the
treasury. Thus it will be seen that
the dividends paid to date amount to
80 per cent of the par value of the
capital stock.
Besides paying regular dividends,
the company has been doing extern
sive development, opening up immense
ore bodies Appropriated in value at
seven and one-half million dollars. 1t
has also furnished the mine with com
plete equipment, built roads and made
many valuable improvements.

The ladies who have used Newbro's
Herpicide speak of it in the highest
terms, for it's quick effect in cleansing
the scalp Of dandruff and also for its ex-
cellence as a general hair-dressing. 1t

that itching which dandruff will cause.
Newbro's Herpicide effectively cures
dandruf, as it destroys the germ that
causes it. The same germ causes hair to
fall out. and later badness; in killing 1t.
Herpicide stops falling hair and prevents
badness. 1t is also an ideal hair dress

DR.. j. P. McFerrin of st. Luke's

dressed last evening by far one of the
largest and most appreciative audi
enees ever assembled in the First
Methodist church here. DR.. McFerrin's
visit to Americas was for the Y. M. G.

results. His address last night was up
pom the great and beneficial work ac-
complished by this order and proved
forceful, logical and eloquent through
out. DR.. McFerrin is regarded one of
the most gifted and eloquent speakers
in the South Georgia Conference, and
the hundreds who listened last night to
his choice diction, his flights of elo-
quent Oratory and, moreover, the
masterful manner in which his argu-
ments were presented, conceded him
one of the finest pulpit orators ever
heardin Americas. The address was
indeed an OratOrical treat, a verltable
feast of reason, and the Americas Y.
M. G. A. is fortunate in having enlisted
DIR. McFerrin in it's behalf in the effort
to arouse interest and erect the propos-
ed building here.

Titbits That Were Relished In Am

Drawn was originally Roman dish

and calf's foot jellies were likewise
dainties with Romes upper ten in the
time Of the Caesars. One would hardly
suppose that black puddings were so
old as the reign of Tiberius, but this is
the fact. They were made of pigs
blood, with little cubes of fat inter
spersed in the compound, and were the
invention of a gentleman who rejoiced
in the name of acknowledgements. 1t
was he who invented all kinds of sau-
sages-that is, meat stuffed into skins,

so to speak, of a sausage.
This gentleman also wrote learned
treatise on the fattening of dormice for
the table, for at one period dorrnice
were a craze. There were dormouse
soup, dormouse sausage, dormouse
Drawn, dormouse cooked in every
conceivable way, and the demand for
this delicacy in prize sizes was SO great
that there was room for book on tho
subject, though unfortunately this
book is lost to posterity, and the only
knowledge which we have of the fat
tening of dormice in Rome is from
Petronius Arbiter, who tells us that
they became fat by sleeping
He also tells us that the best sauce
to eat with dormouse Is a mixture of
poppy seed and honey, mixture which
probably had the merit Of inducing
sleep after meal.

EFFECT OF The FOOD Law.
DriVir 6 Ma Worthless Catarrh Medi-
c.nes Out of Existence

The Pure Food and Drug Law, which
went into effect the first of January,
has already shown the good that will
follow it's enforcement.
Many worthless remedies, that have
been advertised for the cure of catarrh
disease that is universally prevail
ent, have been driven out of existence
by the Pure FoodlLaw.
The effect of this is to increase the
sale of remedies that are valuable and
that fulfill the provisions of the law
Hyomei, for example, is meeting with
a larger sale than ever before, and
Dodson Drug Store is still selling it
under a guarantee that it will cure
catarrah or the money will be refunded.
HyOmei is a scientific treatment that is
recommended by the best physicians.
It cures catarrh without stomach dos
ing, through inhaling medication that
go right to the affected spots,
By breathing Hyomei three or four
times daily through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit,
its medicated, healing air peuetrates to
the most remote parts of the nose,
throat and lungs, searches out and
kills all catarrhal germs, and sOothes
and heals any irritation in the mucous
membrane.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
$1.0O, extra bottles if needed, soc, and
is sold by Dodson Drug Store under
the guarantee that it will cure or cost
nothing.

"ROok of Mormon =

The Book of Mormon" has been
proved to be literary plagiarism, be-
ing a free paraphrase of a romance
written by the Rev. Solomon Spalding
in 1916, the manuscript of which came
into the possession of Joseph Smith,
and he, sitting behind curtain, die
tated it to Oliver Cowdery, who, seat
ed out of sight OF the reader, wrote
the matter as it was given him. Smith
pretended that the book was discov-
cred to him by revelation and dug up
from the side of hill not far from
Palmyra, in the county of Ontario, n.
Y. The claim was made by Smith that
the writing on the plates was engraved
in reformed Egyptian" which he was
unable to read until magic spectacles,
which he called his Urim and Thum-
MIN, were given to him, enabling him
both to read and translate into Eng
lish. The spectacles and the metal
plates have disappeared, and the story
of the dictation makes tolerably clear
the manner in which the "Book of
Mormon" had its nzs;su'
