,aOh Savo and aOh Said"

On Say ana MI Odlo
 There once lived in Carson City, Ne. vada, teamster known to the old com munity as "Oh Say" He was not a Chinaman, az one might think, but a German, and secured his name from circulating "Oh, Say" whenever he spoke to person.
 When the mines of the Comstock lode were opened, "Oh Say" drove a mule team from the shaft down to the crushing mill, and later on his mules were bought by the owners of the mines and used for some years thereafter. "Oh Say'' got other mules, but al ways had deep regard for the first mules he ever owned, which went down into that mine to drag cars from the facing.
 They were named "Oh Say" and "Oh Said," and for forty years they dragged ore on the lower level of the Comstock mine, never coming to the surface, nor issuing in the open air.
 But every holiday "Oh Say," the man, went through the Sutro tunnel to visit his old mules in the bowels of the earth.
 He carried them carrots and other delicacies for a mules palate, and re- turned with curious stories of their af fectionate recognition.
 In the long interval the teamster had become a freighter, and from that had drifted into the most important busi- ness of the state. Only his most in, timate friends recalled him as "Oh Say" but others spoke of him as the "Hon. William Keyser," and MT. heyser never forgot. his mules down on the last level of the Comstock mine, where they dragged ore through the long, dripping covert, called "Sutro tunnel" The managers of Comstock mine finally introduced machinery to haul out to the dumps, and the twenty or thirty mules were out of the job.
 The Hon. Wm. Keyser promptly bought his mules, "Oh Say" and "Oh Said" and brought them to the surface of the earth, where they met sunlight for the first time in nearly half cen tury. He turned them into the rich pasturage which formed the lawn about his fine home iu Carson City.
 There they lived in clover the short period of two weeks, and there they were both found dead one morning, cradled in the alfalfa, which had at once been a great joy to them, but from eating too much had caused their death.
 The Hon. William Keyser buried them where they died, and reared over their tomb carved stone which bears this inscription:
 "'Oa SAY AND 'OH SAID 1.-Two Mules Who Contributed More to
 the Prosperity of Nevada Than
 the Silver King
 "They worked in the Comstock for forty years. They never took dollar out of the state, but moved millions of the values of it's treasures. This stone is raised by their old friend, who seeks no higher reward than to rest be- side them."-Our Dumb Animals.

The time of the Faulkner circuit
court since yesterday noon has been
taken up mainly with the disposition

few days, even if he had to go to st.
Louis after it, so the board adjourned
to meet with him later. The state
claims Raleigh is indebted to it $751;
900 for convict labor. He claims
rebate for days not worked in No
vember, amounting to about $500,
and will probably ask for further
reduction for a portion of the 22 days
he had the men in December, very lit
tie of which time they were worked.
Raleigh has bond of $4,000 for the
faithful performance of his contract
with the state.

FOR 4 WASHINGTON MEMORIAL
MEETING HELD TO FORMULATE
PLANS FOR ITS ERECTION.
A Building to Cost 100000 With
Maintenance Fund Of 100000
is Suggested.

Washington, Feb. 19.--The plan Z
erect memorial building to Wash
inston in this city received impetus
today at meeting held under the
luspices of the George Washington
Memorial association. 1t was pre-
;!ded over by Justice Harlan of the
supreme court and among the speak
ers who urged that the plan be car
riel out speedily were President Taft
and Senators Lodge and Hepburn.
The plans of the association require
that fund of $2.500,000 be raised /;
100000 of which will be devoted tc
the erection of the building and the
remaining 100000 to its mainten'
ance. Certain sections Of the build.
ing will be turned over, free OF
charge, to societies of patriotic, sci
entihc or educational character for
their national and international CON
ventions. The Washington Academy
OF Sciences and its affiliated societies,
and the National Academy of Sciences
are to have their permanent headQuar.
ters in this building, and probably a
number Of the larger patriotic
societies.
