LIVERPOOL "NIGGER"
 IS IN JAIL HERE
Charged With Making Way With Horses fin This and Adjoining Counties--nas Many Aliases.

Eugene Clemings, a negro, who says he was educated in Liverpool, Eng land, was arrested by a negro deputy constable at Sulphur Springs, this county, yesterday and brought to this city to be committed to the county jail on a charge of horse stealing The officers believe they have in him a horse thief who has been operating In Pulaski, Jefferson, Lonoke and other counties in this state. He denies the charges against him. but a negress who came here with Clemings four weeks ago says that he has made way with many horses and cattle Clemings has several aliases. He was committed to jail to await trial on two charges of grand larceny, be- ing unable to give bond. He will ee given preliminary hearing before Justice J. A, Frazier. who issued tho warrant for Clemings' arrest. Prose cutting Attorney w. D. Jones closely questioned the negro yesterday and his statements were conflicting. II Is alleged that Clemings stole horse from John Mover, negro in this city. and a buggy from Fred Mallet, au- other negro who lives in this county. The horse the deputy constable states, was in Clemings possession when he arrested him.
 Clemings does not talk like a southern negro. His accent is sn- tirely different and the h's used by residents of England are made use of frequently by him.

Total Eclipse OF SUI

a total eclipse of the sun is sched-
uled to occur On June II, visible in
all portions of the U. S. except ex.
treme south. The eclipse will begin
Ill this latitude about 700 o'clock in
the evening and will continue until
after sunset. AT the time of the dis
appearance of the sun, the eclipse will
cover about one-half the area of Old
Sol
The last total eclipse of he sun was
witnessed shortly after the close of the
civil war in the year 1869. The
eclipse will be remembered by many
citizens who yet speak of it as u queer
experience and an event which now
figures noticeably in the folk lore of the
south.
The last total eclipse of the sun
darkened the south central states of
America and many are the occasions
which are recalled.
The south, during the later years of
the sixties was poverty stricken from
the ravage of the war, and when
darkness developed the land at noonday
the people of the ignorant classes were
cowed by the effect of the phenomena
and fell to the earth in prayer, think
ing the eve of terrible calamity was
upon them. The chickens went To
roost and cocks crowed. Bats and owls
and other fowl which fly by night ap-
peared and candles and lamps were
lighted in the dwellings,.
The eclipse predicted for June 18th is
to be total and will be reproduction
OF the one in 1860. The occasion will
afford rare experience for residents of
Nevada ana all who ever witnessed a
total eclipse of the sun state that they
can never forget it.-Exchange

Snake In His Eve

Ben Crabb, of Bruneau. has horse
that would prove very valuable as
SIT to man desiring freak attraction
Tor street fairs, county fairs, etc. The
horse is sound in every respect, except
ing small snake that has gotten into
ITS eye. The snake is three or four
inches in length and white in color. It
is very lively and on the move con-
Stantly. 1t moves about over the ball of
the eye, and occasionally out of sight,
hut only for an instant. 1t twists nm
IN coil, then scurrys off, possibly out
OF sight. then back across the eyeball
again. The horse seems to have per.
feet vision in the affected eye and does
not seem to feel any pain whatever. He
has consulted vctcrinarics with a view
OF having an operation but has been nd.
Viscd To let 1t alone. as an operation
would possibly result in the loss of the
oye The snake will live only a few
years when the horse will possibly lose
ITS sight with the death of the little
reptile.
The presence of the snake is not en-
tirely understood The owner seems to
think it is hair snake The horse
carried a small hair through it's nostrils
into its cyc, which in time turned into
the snake. at IN event it is very inter
osting ana an unusual sight to see q
horse with real, live snake in its owe.

Sailing Babies

Sailing" newly born infants, q prac-
tice that dates far back to Bill cal times
still obtains in many parts of the old
world. The Armcnians in the Russian
government of Eriwan cover the whole
surface OF the babes body with fine
salt, special care being taken with the
intersticcs between the fingers and all
depressions, such as the armpit and the
bend of the knee so that no point shall
remain unsalted.
The unhappy infant is left i'll the
salt for three hours or longer and is
then bathed III warm water
The Armenians of some districts,
having abandoned the practice are
called ''unsalted" and are despised by
the others.
The modern Greeks also sprinkle
their babies with salt. If an enlight-
ened mother protests the midwife is
ready with the objection But if it
isn't sailed it will be puny and will
never amount to anything"
If this sailing process is carried on to
excess the poor babes don't stand it at
Ill. The skin becomes as red rs fire,
the irritation is intolerable, and the
child dies in commissions Yet there
- mountain tribe in Asia Minor that
mercilesSly salts it's newborn babes for
twenty-fOur hours, which shows that
the limits Of human endurance are
wide i'll some cases. This ancient
custom is still in vogue in many parts
of Germany, but the rites are merely
SymbOlical, In one district little salt
is rubbed behind the child's ears, in
Others pinch of salt is put on the
tongue or little paper of salt is in
serted under the garment. It gives
understanding, the people say, and
wards off evil spirits
The action of salt in keeping meat
sound no doubt Is the reason that this
strengthening and sustaining power
was tscribrd to it. The usage became
common in eastern countries. and il
was not entirely confined to them. The
prophet Ezekiel, referring to the de-
Sencracy Of Jerusalem says:
Neither vast thou washed i'm water
TO supple thee: thou vast not sailed at
I'LL nor swaddled at all"
To many oriental tribes this means a
grave omission of parental duty.-St

Uncle James Russell an octoa.narian

~S~-SS esSSS$bA
Last Saturday, May Goth Mr.. James
Russell passed his eightieth birthday,
and his new home in West Elko was
made the scene Of festivity and Joy in
honor of the occasion.
1t was planned to surprise the old
gentleman, and things worked admir-
ably to that end. He was allured away
from home by Mr.. Frank Fernald
shortly after noon, and when he was
brought back he was surprised to find
himself surrounded by q number of his
old pioneer friends wishing him many
happy returns of the day.
The afternoon was spent in recitinp
pleasant "reminiscences, music, and the
singing of "Auld Lang Sine" Silver
Threads Among the Cold" 'Swaunee
River" and many other old songs.
Miss Hattie Clark and Miss Agnes
Fernald assisted with the music and
singing. A big dinner was served, dur
ing which many hearty toasts, were
drunk to the health and happiness of
the host and all present, and to those
who, on account of illness, were unable
to be present.
1t was pleasant sight to see those
white crowned pioneers gathered about
festive board, merrymaking in honor
of one of their number who reached the
four score mark, and still retains
physical and mental strength and
energy, yet it was not without touch
of sadness, for it cannot be forgotten
that time is passing swiftly to them
now, and at best it will not be long
before their ranks must again be
broken.
Early in the evening the guests were
conveyed to their respective homes,
after having wished Mr.. Russell MANY
more years of hale and hearty life, and
expressing the hope that they might all
be present at more such birthday cele-
brations
Mr. RusselPs life has been one full of
experience and adventure, such as few
men experience. In early boyhood he
took to the ssea, which he followed for
seven years. In Forty-nine he sailed
around the Horn to California, and for
more than twenty years thereafter fol-
lowed all the great mining excitements
and is pioneer of California, Australia,
Montana Fraser River, Virginia City,
Austin, Eureka and many other great
Old mining camps. - He has had his ups
and downs, and no one Can tell of more
exciting and interesting experiences,
The INDEPENDENT joins with Mr..
Russelrs many friends in wishing him
many more years of life, filled to the
brim with comfort and happiness.
