Iron Market Eirmer.

The pig iron market is flrmer IN tone
than it was during the holidays, but 1t is
not as active as it probably will be before
the end of. the month. Rogers, Brown %
COS Cincinnati report says:
THE year starts off, as anticipated, on
a higher plane of activity than has been
evidenced during the past two weeks.
There are numerous inquiries and the out
look is promising. There is evidently less
effort on the part of furnaces TO make
sales and the range in prices on southern
iron is not as general it has been.
There is a firming up in prices and some
plants have withdrawn minimum figures
of a week ago.

Der would indicate that total or over
263O 900 tons had been reached, which. II

A Word For InstaIlment Houses.

there has been extortion to the point OF
legalized robbery, yet with rare exception
that charge cannot be made here in Biz

In the first place there are many chances
of losses, by rascally buyers, by fire, by
damage of the furniture. happen to
know OF some of these losses and OF
course certain dealers have to count the

employed as a stenographer who has pur-
chased several pieces Of furniture on the
installment plan, beautifying her room.
This is all the money she has actually

THE WAY TO WIN.
The man who delivers the goods is
To stand at the top some day,
Though divers misfortunes may hover
And troubles rise up to dismay.
He's fired with the zeal that's sure to
win,
Whatever mischances befall:
And foemen will find, when attacks they
begin,
He's not to be daunted at an.
In deeds, not in words. he strives to
excel,
And let's his work speak for itself;
He may have to wait--how long can't
tell
But he'll never be laid on the shelf.
ON MARRYING AN ATHLETIC GIRL.
Not long ago a Birmingham. man mar
ried an athletic girl, thinking how fine
It would be to have a wife who would be
able to walt on herself and build the
fires, II necessary, and keep the dust
demon on the jump without bringing on
an acute attack OF nervous prustration.
Said he to himself "a girl who swims
and rows and plays a rafting good game
of tennis, not to speak of her fondness
for walking and driving is sure to be a
domestic jewel. If we happen to be with
out a servant. she can keep the house
hold machinery humming." Somebody
must have told that girl she was mar
rying a man with money. Anyhow,
she hasn't been able to dress herself
without the assistance Of a maid and the
only time she has ever had the broom
in her hands was one day when she
picked it up to hit the cat with. If she'd
clean house for as much as half an hour
she'd have to go away to some fashion

look at her, you wouldn't think she was
so delicate

SILVER'S RISE
IS ARTIFICIAL

Two weeks ago, when silver quo
tations were lowering near the 81
cent mark, the Mining Review ex-
pressed the belief that the advance
was fictitious, being unwarranted by
any improvement in the general
tone of the market. Since then
what we consider the inevitable de-
cline has occurred and it now be-
gins to look as if the quotation
would gradually drop back to the
level from which it rose month
or SO ago.
close study of the situation
seems to suggest that the reason for
the sudden advance may be found
in the efforts of Indian interests led
by the India Specie bank, to corner
the market. If usually reliable au-
thorities in the east are to be given
eredence, these interests have ac-
cumulated about 30,000,O00 ounces
in the belief that favorable crop
prospects in India and the excellent
general outlook in the Orient. would
stimulate the demand fer the metal.

GREAT GATHERING
At The RECEPTION
SENATOR NIXON AND FAMILY
ARE GREETED BY PEOPLE
OF WINNEMUCCA

The reception given by Mr.. and
house Monday evening was the most
largely attended function ever held
in Winnemucca, says the Star. In
fact, the spacious theater was
thronged with people assembled to
greet the senator and his estimable
wife and their son, Bertram E., all
of whom stood in the lobby and
greeted the guests as they entered
the opera house.
Not only was the large auditor
ium crowded with people during the
evening, but the gallery was well
filled as well. At about $50 a
dainty luncheon was served, consist
ing of sandwiches, cake, coffee and
delicious punch, and it was no easy
task for the many ladies who as
sisted in serving the multitude oil
people with the delicacies. After
the luncheon was served the spac
ious floor of the auditorium wa!
cleared and dancing was the ordel
of the evening until the early hours
of the morning. About the mid
night hour Senator Nixon made /;
short address, stating that he ant
his wife and son were greatl,
Al of
people of his old home The senti
ment expressed in the senator
brief address were heartily ap
plauded. After bidding the guest
good night, Senator Nixon and fam
lily departed on the early mornin

no reason to change its opinion
that the only hope for sustained

there is little reason to hope for a

THREE THUGS BEAT
MAN FOR MONEY

w. A. Fisher was in from Nation
al a few days ago with his head
bandaged. an ugly cash across his
nose and beth eyes BACKED. He
told the story that he was attacked
in the night while asleep by three
men, who took what money he had
in his pocket-about Sand tried
to make him tell where the rest
was.
According to Fishers story they
pounded him with their fists and a
gun and he was just on the point
of giving in and telling where he
had some money hidden when the
hold-ups ceased their attack. They
thought he had money hidden, but
when he held out so long without
telling. they probably concluded
that they were mistaken.
The matter was not reported to
the officers in Winnemucca, Fisher
saying the thugs were masked sc
| they could not be recognized, anc
! there was nothing for the officers
to work on.
The last issue of the Nationa
Miner contained no information OF
the alleged assault, which would
cast some doubt on Fishers story
but his appearance certainly bore
out his statements. Silver State.
