ANOTHER "HOT SHOT"
FOR THE SENATOR.

The power of the press is great
and Senator Patterson of this dis
trict is AFT aid of the powers there
of. He has a bill before the legis-
lature or will present one soon to
the effect that all papers run by
party or parties not possessing
sufficient amount of "thiS world S
goods" that damages might not be
collected in case of a judgement,
be required to give a gilt edge
bond. One of the papers of the
district thruthfully states that the
average country newspaper man is
lucky if he is able to get his week
ly edition out of the express office
much less make a bond to the
"would be politician" of the state,
that he will keep his mouth shut
when the peoples rights are being
tempered with. We wonder what
the senator has done that he is
afraid that the people will find out7
We wonder if he thinks that the
newspapers of this district will
find out something on him that
will be unpleasant to him to be re-
peated? We really think that Mr..
Patterson could place his time in a
way that would be more satisfac-
tory to his constituents. He knows,
and every one else knows, that
whenever a newspaper opens its
"chops" about man in public
life, especially one of Mr.. Patter-
sons caliber, that it has good and
sufficient grounds for so doing.
Perhaps Mr.. Patterson is afraid to
attempt the stunt he played on a
former editor OF the McCrory
News-that of taking a horsewhip
land we have heard some people
say pistol) and using it in very
strenuous way. Perhaps he thinks
that every editor will not take it,
and he is right too. So he thinks
that he Will put some of them out
of business by requiring them to
give a gilt edge bond that they
will keep quit. He might present
a bill to create a public censor and
place the papers of Arkansas on
plane with those of Russia. AS it
is we have free country, but we
would not if we mad a few more
senator's like he in the legislature
halls. -WYNNE (CRoss COUNTY,

THE ORDINARY WOMAN,

We have noticed, that among
the many prizes given by Andrew
Carnegie as a reward for bravery
and heroism, none have been
awarded to women. Say nothing
of the "ordinary woman" Are
women less brave than men? True,
the ordinary woman may be afraid
of a mouse, but her record for true
heroism and bravery will compare
favorably with man.
She may not jump in front of a
runaway team to stop it or rescue
a friend from the fifth story of a
burning building, but we have
women right in this community
who have exhibited more true hero
ism than any man wearing the
Carnegie badge of honor for
bravery.

Several Servants Of Household IsoIat'
ed on Upper Floor.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-It was re-
ported at Bellevue that diphtheria had
developed in the home Of Colonel John
Jacob Astor, $40 Fifth avenue, and the
rumor had IL that the Astor children

who answered the door bell, denied
that any member of the family was i'll.
but admitted that two or three" Of the
kitchen maids had contracted a con-
tagious disease and were isolated on
the top floor.
The man would not name the dis
ease. When asked II it was diphtheria
he answered that he was not permitted
to answer questions He would nei-
ther admit nor deny that the house
had been fumigated.

When a healthy man or woman be-

the kidneys for the cause of it all. Keep
the kidneys well and they will keep

Mrs. Fennimore wastroubled for some
time with pains, lameness and soreness

him and It was hard for him to
straighten. Colds settled in his back
and aggravated the trouble On occa-
sions when he has been away at work
his back has become so painful that
he has had to lay off and give up work
for a time. About two years ago he
was induced 10 get a box Of Doan's

Mines

GALENA, Kas.-A number Of Michi-
gan capitalists who are extensively in
terested in copper mining in the Lake
Superior district have introduced an
innovation in their operations on one
of their lead and zinc leases near Ca
lena which promises to revolutionize
mining methods in this part of the
country. An inclined shaft 10x12 feet
in the clear has been started down
and will be sunk to a depth of 45O feet
the purpose being TO open up an ex-
tensive vein of zinc ore at the 250-font
level. This will be the only inclined
shaft in the Kansas district AS showa
by drilling, the lower vein Of ore is Of
a higher grade and enormously greater
extent than anything hitherto found
in the upper levels. This fact is Civ
ing special satisfaction in view of the
prevailing high record prices for botl.
lead and zinc.

output valued at nearly S1,000,0OO is
the record for Summit county for the
year 1906. This is an increase Of $780,
600 over the previous years record,
yet there is good prospect of a doub-
ling Of the increase during the coming
year. The district is coming constant
" into more favorable notice with in
vestors. owing to the increase in the

GOLDFELD, Nev-The largest
shipment Of rich ore yet recorded from
any mining camp has just been sent
under heavy guard in three express
cars to be conveyed to the Selby smell
ter for treatment It is valued at up
wards of 100000 The nearest ap-
proach to this record was the famous
shipment from the Isabella mine in the
Cripple Creek district, about eight
years ago. when a carload of q tons,
valued at s219,6O0 was sent out. This
latest shipment contained about 35
tons, averaging from $4,000 to $4,000
to the ton. 1t has been closely watch
ed by armed guards both night and
day.
It is expected that other leases will
send out enormous quantities OF ore
within the next few days. 1t is these
large shipments that furnish the most
conclusive answer 10 the adverse crit
licisms that have recently been handed
out so freely regarding one Of the
worlds richest gold camps.

OF immense proportions is the next
most urgent need of the Goldheld min
/ ing interests, according 10 lhe opinion

soon as the mines Of the district
cease to be free milling from such a
smelter will be required; and it is gem
