Marvelous Experience.

Mike Lane, the man who saw the
bnrro commit suicide not long ago ON
Ladd mountain, which circumstance
alone establishes his reputation for
truth and veracity, tells another, an
equally marvellous experience.
He says that once while prospect
ing in the Paaamints, he noticed that
his rear huro had stopped stock still
in his tracks. He yelled at the ami
NAL. and while it appeared to be max
ing an attempt to obey his instruc-
tions, he was fast to the ground. He
went back to investigate the peculiar
phenomenon, and found that it was
standing on an immense ledge of
magnetic iron, and that the attrac-
ton between the shoes on the burro
and the ore WAS 50 great that it was
impossible for it to move. Mr.. Lane
tried in various ways to get the burro
off, hut failed IN each attempt. He
was obliged to go away and leave the
poor creature to it's fate. Several
years after he returned aud found the
skeleton still upaight and rooted to
the same spot.-Bullfrog. Miner.

To More O. S. L. for This State.

The Southern Pacific and the I'm
ion Pacific roads have taken over
their lines between Ogden and Sparks
and between Ogden and Green River,
Wyoming, and as far as Nevada is
concerned the reign of the Oregon
Short Line is ended.
The Oregon Short Line held the
roads of the Union Pacific from Green
River to Ogden, Utah, and the road
of the Southern Pacific between Ogden
aad Sparks owned by the Southern
Pacific. Now the two respective ow-
ners, the Union Pacific and the south
ern Pacific have taken o~er the roads.
This means n closer concentration OF
the Hartman lines in the west aud
it's transcontinental lines.

Lively Battle at Hazen.

The citizens OF Hazen got their
backs up Saturday night and made n
raid on the lawless element of the
town. The cause OF the raid was the
shooting of the night Waterman by
four thieves, whom he saw entering a
box car. The shooting aroused the
citizens and a regular battle ersued.
The thieves ~retreated to the Denver
Club saloon and put up another fight
The citizens finally entered the saloon
and caught fifteen men and marched
them to the lookup. They then
started cut to round up every hard
character in the town. More fighting
ensued, but the citizens stuck to their
work until they caught another lot OF
toughs. In the morning the citizens
took ten OF the men out OF the lookup
and escorted them to the limits OF the
town and told them TO hit the trail
and never come back. The battle
lasted from 6 o'clock Saturday night
until after midnight, but in all skir-
misbes the night Waterman was the
only man among the law abiding
fighters that received a serious wound.
He was shot through the right arm,
Several of the men arrested were
held in the Hazen Jail and will be
taken to Failon and charged with at

Her Astral Spouse.

An unmarried woman was drawing
dangerously near the threshold of that
age where the minated must abandon
every matrimonial hope. Belonging,
as she did, to that large contingent Of
women to whom marriage represents
the only possible career, her anxiety
as she saw her chances of achieving 1t
dwindling to the vanishing point be-
came keen, and in her distress she be-
gan to seek for comforting reassur-
ances among that fraternity who for a
suitable consideration obigingly offer
to reveal the secrets Of the future.
In the course of an interview with
one Of these "wise women" she was
told, "My dear, you already are mar
ried on the astral plane, and it is your
astral husband who Is keeping the
earth men away from you.'

THE LIFE PLANT.
It's Curious Leaves and How They Die
and Bloom Again.


Visitors to Bermuda often bring back
to this country as Il souvenir of their
trip the leaves Of an interesting plant
Of the house leek family. 1t is known
as the life plant, and when the leaves
begin to shrivel and fade they send
out little shoots which In turn bear
leaves that continue to grow and re-
main fresh and green for months. The
leaves are about four inches long. rich
green in color and of a smooth waxen
texture. If you take one of the leaves
and pin 1t to the wall indoors. it will
begin to sprout within three or four
days, be it winter or summer. At first
the top portion of the leaf will begin
to wither and shrivel up, and this IS
likely to continue until the upper half
has lost its green color Then tiny
white roots will sprout from the edges,
and in time diininutive green leaves
will appear on these. These little Off
shoots will sometimes grow to be an
inch long and contain several pairs Of
leaves. The limit of their existence
seems to depend upon the amount Of
heat and light they can obtain.-St.
Louis GlobeDemocrat.

A gang OF safe blowers have been
operating for some time at points
out along the B. a o. and they have
been having more or less success.
Word was received here Saturday
morning that some time Thursday
night burglars forced an entrance In
to the postofice at Cairo, and the
doors 0 fthe safe were blown on
with powerful explosive. IL
While the safe was pretty badly
wrecked. the burglars were foiied in
getting any booty. for the reason
that the inner doors OF the safe were
blown inward. making 1t impossible
to get into the drawers OF the safe
unless these doors were blown OF,
and TO do this would practically de-
stroy the contents. The burglars
must have realized this or probably
they were afraid Of being captured.
as the explosion was OF sufficient
force to awaken parties near the post
once. The robbers made their es-
cape. s s III

$500 in cash and 5000 worth OF
stamps. all of which were found In
tact. The o. s. officers were mott

President Roosevelt today sent To

the Brownsville incident. which
gives additional evidence collected by
Assistant General rurdy and Major
Blocksom. who were sent to Texas
by the President to- investigate the
AFFAIR.
The President submitted with the
message various exhibits bearing on
the affair. The President declares
the evidence is POSITIVE that the out
RACES August 1s were committed by
some of the colored trdops who were
dismissed and that some or sill mem
hers of the three companies of the
Twenty-Fifth infantry acknowledged
the deed and pleaded the guilty ohes.
The negro troops arc referred to
by the President as "mtdnigh. as
sassins." and he declares very few
II any of the soldiers dismissed
without honor could have been ig-
norant OF what occurred.
That part of the order which bars
he soldiers from all civil employ
ment under the government is revok-
ed by the President. This clause.
the President says, is lacking valid
ity.
The discharged troops, however,
will be forever barred from re-erl:st-
ing in the army or navy apd rs to
this the President says that There is
no. doubt of my constitutional and
legal power.
