assistant chief of police at Sparks
was publicly whipped in front of the

Mrs. Tut said that Wees had told
her husband that she had stayed all
night at a Reno hotel with another
man, and that this had caused her
great anguish so that she determined

reputation"
The whipping affair is said 20 be

Hamilton, Feb. 16-Untiring efforts
on the part Of DIR Ricketts, have been
rewarded by the discovery Of the germ
which causes spotted fever" This
is the announcement made tonight by
physician friends of the eminent sci
enlist of the Chicago university who
has been laboring in the Bitter Root
valley district for year past in an
endeavor to discover the cause of the
malady and a remedy for it, Though
the Doctors work resulted in the dis
covery Ct the method by which the
disease was transmitted from animal
to animal and to man, he has been
unable, until recently, to find and seq
regate the specific bacilli responsible
for the disease. Now that this prob
lem has been solved the doctor be-
lieves he will be able to quickly per-
feet an antitoxin that will destroy
the effect of the germ and even the
bacillus itself.
Though DR. Ricketts, made his i'm
portant discovery severat days ago, 1t
is said, nothing was given out about
the matter until tonight when report
in regard to the discovery gained cir

THREE ARE DISMISSED.

San Francisco, Feb 16.-Three of
the IL Jurors temporarily passed to try
Patrick Calhoun upon charge of
bribery, had been excused or dis
missed when the days session of court
ended and another citizen had un-
expectedly qualified for a place in the
jury box. With two places remaining
to be filled the completion of the jury
appears to be retarded at least a
week, and the fact that peremptory
challenges are still to be exercised in
dicates that the trial will establish a
record for duration over the preceding
series of bribery-graf trials.

occurred in the family of the Haps

of the Emperor Francis /. One day
he was travelling incognita when hi
arrived in a village where he desired
to take a coach for Vienna. He looked
around to hire a carriage. for which
having been obtained, he sought 6
driver. At length a lad was brought
to him.

duke.
Johann, SIR" answered the lad.
The archduke was cute" He had
seen at a glance that this was no boy
before him, but a girl disguised.
What do you call yourself when
you are at home helping your mother
In the kitchen?" he asked, smiling.

what IS your manner
Johann, too; / am an archduke."
II suppose you will say that you
are the Emperor himself next?" she
laughed back at him. Then she drove
his carriage into Vienna.
Here, behold, the people saluted
and she made inquiries. thus finding
out the real facts. But she thought
little more of the matter until o
month later the archduke strobe into
her fathers cottage just at the dinner
hour, and asked permission to join
the family gathering. The girl began
apologies, but the archduke laughed
them aside, and insisted on being
called plain Johann"
The visit was repeated again and
again, and at last the villagers begar
to talk-unkindly. Anna at last asked
