The American Vocabulary.

The Americans OF the lowest intel.
lectual class probably use more words
to express their ideas than the similar
class Of any other people; but this
prodigality Of words is partially bal.
anced by the parsimony Of words in
some higher regions. in which a few
phrases Of current slang are made to
do the whole duty Of exchange OF
IDEAS; II that can be called exchange
OF ideas when one intellect flashes
forth to another the remark, concern.
Ing some report that you know how
It Is yourself" and is met by the re-
Spouse Of that's what the matter. I"
and rejoins with the perfectly con
elusive that's So" II requires A high
degree OF culture to use clang with
elegance and effect; and we are yet
very far from Greek attainment

THE WORST DRINK

But chi-chi the chi-chi of
Patagonia! That is the worst drink
in the world" said a naval man.
"The Patagonians gather wild
apples. They dig pits and line them
with horsehides, and in those pits
they leave the the apples to rot and
ferment. When the pits are full
of foamy, hissng juices the Pata,
gonian> warriors gather for their
annual jag, and the women and
children go off and hide in the
woods. No wonder, for chi-chi is
a terrible drink. 1t is a thick gray
foam that hisses. 1t seems to be
alive. 1t is like drinking snakes"

SERIOUS CHARGES

Malfeasanc in office is the charge
brought by the Nye county grand
jury against County Commissioners
Sam F. Lindsay and w. T. Cuddy.
The charge was expected for
rumors have been in evidence for
the last week concerning the report
of the inquisitorial body. How
ever, it was not expected that the
body would report yesterday for it
was given out that Tuesday had
been the day decided upon.
After the grand jury had pre-
sented its report to Judge M. R.
Averill along with the indictments
filed, Foreman Robert L. Prouty
handed District Attorney Cleve H.
Baker four charges, two against
Lindsay and two against Cuddy,
with instructions that the district
attorney investigate and prosecute
the same. Mr.. Baker last evening
had the sheriff's office serve copies
of the char ges against the two
persons involved and named August
as the date when they should
appear before the district court
and make answer. This answer it
is expected will either be a written
denial or a plea of guilty to the
charges.
The accusations as set forth by
the grand jury are practically the
same against each commissioner,
and concern the approving of the
salaries of Sheriff J. ]. Owens and
former county treasurer, Robert F.
Gilbert, while both were indebted
to the county. 1t will be remem-
bered that when the Nye and
Ormsby County bank closed it's
doors the county treasurer had on
deposit a sum of about $66, 0OO
while Sheriff Owens had about
$4,000 of the county's funds on
deposit.-Tonopah Bonanza.

The DAIRY INDUSTRY
OF THE UNITED STATES

According to the last year book
of the Department of Agriculture,
there are FL, 720, 900 mich cows in
the United States, and these are
worth STOP, 945, 900. The magni-
tude of the industry can perhaps
be best understood when it is con-
sided that these cows produced
yearly about 81, 900. 100000 worth
of dairy products.
There is no other branch of
diversified agriculture so important
to the progress of a community.
The fertility of the soil can best be
maintained by the liberal use of
barnyard manure and the dairy
herd not only makes this possible,
but dairying is also more remunera-
tive than other branches of farm
ing when properly carried on.
Dairying has made wonderful
progress since the advent OF the
modern creamery and the consumer
of butter has not only been bene-
flied being furnished more whole
some and palatable article of food,
but the wife in the farm home has
been relieved of the drudgery in
cident to making butter on the
farm. Where formerly the cream
was ripened and churned into
butter under conditions not con-
ductive to fine quality in the
finished product and in the major
ity of cases by unskilled hands,
now the most of the milk or cream
is delivered to modern creamery

There Is But Little Hope That Any
Of the Victims VIII Be

Alive

Trinidad, COL, Feb. IA terrific
explosion occurred at the Primero
coal mine. Three miners were killed
outright and $50 others are believed
to be dead in the mine.
These $50 men were entombed by
the explosion while at work and there
seems hardly chance that any of
them escaped, although. it is possible
that a few may have gotten out on the
other side of the mountain.
information Is Refused.
The Colorado Fuel & Iron Com
pany, which owns and operates the
property, refuses to give out any in
formation regarding the explosion,
claiming that both its telephone and
telegraph wires to Primero are down.
1t is claimed the company purposely
removed the telephone apparatus at
Primero, SO that no news of the acct
dent might leak out without being
censored.
The Coloredo Fuel & Iron Company
ordered special train made up and
rushed to the coal camp Doctors
and nurses left ON this train with a
large supply of medical supplies.
The three men who were killed
were near the mouth of the mine
when the explosion took place.
Explosion Heard Miles Away.
The explosion was heard ten miles
and many thought an earthquake had
occurred.
Primero is located "a miles north
west of Trinidad. Three years ago
disastrous explosion took place In
the property. in which 81 miners were
killed and many injured.
