N.v,d, M,a Pensions ssu,u

Apropos of a story appearing i'll this
paper not many days ago, in which was
told Of the pensioning of Maggie, the
of Panamint Joe, by the well
known mining man. Bob Montgomery,
now of Los Angeles, Mr. Busch stated
yesterday that he acted i'll the capacity
of guardian t. Maggie. and just before
leaving home had sent the first check
from Mr.. Montgomery to be paid to his
self-appointed ward. In forwarding
the check tn Mr.. Bufch. Mr.. Montgomery
wrote feelingly of the incident which
won his deep regard for the simple
child of the desert. and referred to the
pleasure he felt in being able in some
way to show his personal appreciation.
Maggie is a Shoshone squaw, about
sixty years of age, and now lives in the
vicinity of Rhyolite. with 4 colony Of
her tribe. Her noble work in saving
the lives of members of the party which
her husband had contracted to guide
safely through the shifting sands of
Death Valley, and who gave up his w
life i'll the attempt, ranks equally rs
high in the annals of self sacrifice rs
does any of the achievements of those
whose stories have been told i'll song
and story, not considering the fact that
Maggie does not feel the thrill which
comes with the plaudits of the hero
loving world. Hers is to sit calmly.
indifferently, stoically, and await the
call of the Great Spirit which will take
her to her chieftain whose bones have
been tossed in the restless sands Of the
valley for many years. But henceforth,
the hands of Bob Montgomery,
Maggie will receive each month a sum
of money which to her means affiuence,
and in her declining years she will
know no want.-Goldfield Tribune.

Lord Pauncefote suffered greatly
from rheumatic govt In his latter days,
and he walked stillly and sometimes
had to use two canes lie went one
afternoon to make call, and he re-
mained quite a long time, so long that
the horses got FESTIVE. and the groom
walked them up and down the street.
When Lord Pauncefote left the house
the carriage was not In front. and,
thinking there was some mistake In
his orders, he started to walk TO the
embassy, which was only square or
two. But he had twlnges OF his old
enemy. and the pavements were icy,
He was large, heavily built man,
and he feared a fall While he was
bordering over his dilemma along

Election Day in Omaha.

Omaha, May 4.-With bright sun
shine, the weather not too warm and
the general interest stimulated by
vigorous campaigning, the promise is
for heavy vote at today's election in
Omaha. The liquor question, while
not directly at issue, has figured prom.
inently in the campaign. The leading
issue aside from party politics is that
of voting bonds for the purchase by
the city of the plant of the local water
company.
The returns of today's election will
be later than usual as the voting ma
chimes heretofore employed had to be
discarded on account of the large
number of candidates.
The democratic ticket is headed by
j. c. Dahlman, widely known as the
cowboy mayor" and the republican
ticket by John p. Breen, leading at
torney.
The Omaha water works situation is
the most marvellous municipal-political
puzzle with which a western city has
ever been confronted. The people
voted to buy the plant and thought
they could get it for 100000. The
appraisers said 1t was worth $6,500,-
900. The water board refused to buy
it at any such figure. The water COM
pany went to the courts to force the
city to buy. The case is in the SUI
preme court of the United States, with
hopes of decision next October.
In the meantime the water board is
asking the $6,50O,OOO bond issue that
it may have money in the bank If the
court says buy the plant"
In the meantime the city can get no
extensions. Real estate dealers who
have new additions must lay mains
to them if they want water. The water
company won't-the city can't force
the enlargement of the plant.
If the bonds are voted 1t is believed
citizens will at once get an injunc.
tion, claiming the city has no right
to vote bonds to buy water plant in
South Omaha, Dundee, Albright and
other suburbs which are separate cor
porations from Omaha.

An Imaginative Statesman.

Imagination is the greatest moving
force in the world. In saying this
am merely repeating a remark Of Dis
raeli's, and to prove the strength Of
his conviction will repeat a story Mr..
Lowell told me when he was minister
to England. 1t is the custom of the
Royal Academy Of Painters to hold a
private view of their pictures before
the public exhibition. Disraeli, walk
Ing arm In arm with Browning
through the galleries, said, what
strikes me most forcibly here is the
lack Of imagination" and he proceeded
to enlarge upon the power Of imagina-
ton, declaring 1t to be the greatest
force in the world. In responding to
a toast at the banquet which followed
the private exhibition he dwelt upon
the wealth of imagination in evidence
on the walls about him and again ex-
pressed his conviction that imagina-
ton is the moving force In the world.
Browning repeated Disraeli's first re-
mark TO. Gladstone. who sat beside
him, and he muttered, "The devilg'-
