After the party had waited some
time, II is said, Mr., Norton. the presi-
dents secretary, privately informed
Mr.. Harrison that the president de-
olined to see him. So quietly was this
done that the rest of the party had
sot into Mr.. Nortops room before Mr.
Harrison was missed.
Mr.. Harrison was TO have been the
spokesman of the party, and Mr. hei-
liner appeared much surprised when
called upon by Mr.. Norton TO present

ED TO THE GUARDS WITH
EIREWATER.

TWO Indians, after a night of
carousing, We're hailed into the
Justice court yesterday. Both were
feeling somewhat on the bum and
did not make any lengthy excuses
for imbibing the forbidden white
mans joy juice. Nor did the pris-
oners state the nature of the oc-
casion which caused the celebra-
ton. The pair will sojourn in the
county Jail for some little time to
come, where they will have ample
time to mediate on the error of
falling off the water wagon a week
after New Years. The celebration
should have been held on the first
day of the year and not at time
when the water wagon is crowded
to the limit, and resolutions are
common.

Wheel BREAKS
and FIREMEN DO
Diving stunt
MEMBERS OF PAID FIRE DE-
PARTNIENT HAVE NARROW
ESCAPE FROM INJURY.

While responding to false
alarm of fire yesterday morning,
the department wagon lost a wheel
at the corner of Main street and
Brougher avenue, the sudden tip
ping of the vehicle causing Walter
Agnew and R. Davidson to take a
dive of several yards along the
Snow covered street The accident
occurred in making the turn. Poke
Kelly, who was driving, kept the
horses on the go and the con-
trivance continued down the street
on three legs. The alarm was sent
in from the depot vicinity and nc
fire could be found on the arrival
of the apparatus.
The remaining wheels were tax
en- from the wagon and runners
substituted which will be used a!
long as the snow lasts. Owing t
the extremely heavy going at th'
present, the regular wagon has t.
be abandoned as it is impossible TO
/ the team to make the hills will
such a load.

A suit was fled in the justice
court yesterday by w. F. Acker-
man against Martin Williams to re-

injured fifteen chickens belonging
to Alderman. The fowls were rem
dered useless and died from the in.
juries sustained. The valuation Of
the chickens is placed at $1.50 pei

James Golden New Years night

1t is doubtful if the new locator

COMMISSIONERS
ALLOW RENTAL FOR
JUSTICE COURT
TONOPAH JUSTICE Is ALLOW
ED PRINCELY SUM OF
$3.50 A MONTH.

The board of county commission
ers yesterday decided to allow
Judge H. H. Atkinson the magnifi-
cent sum of $3.50 a month to pay
for the rental of the justice court.
This action was taken after Mr..
Atkinson appeared before the board
and asked what he was going to
do in the future concerning the
rental of his office. Under the
salary act no mention is made for
expenses but is supposed that the
designers of the salary bill thought
that the monthly remuneration
would be sufficient for both wages
and expense.
Judge Atkinson has not decided
whether he will keep his present
quarters. The rental is $25 a
month and he is considering the
advisability of holding court in the
State Bank building for one
month and then for the next
month have his office in some alley
or side street. BY doing this he
can make the $12.5O pay for 81,
months shelter. Or he may decide
to hold an open court in the sum
mer when the $3.50 can accrue
to be used for renting an offic'
during the winter His honor ha
il half dozen schemes under consid
GRAFTON and will decide on the bes
policy before the next meeting 0
the board.

Pavinn the Doctor.

Some American doctors are in favor
of the contract system for medical
service, but they are still a long way
from the Chinese scheme of stopping
the doctors salary when the patient
falls i'll. The writer knows a New
Yorker who says that If ever he is
threatened with an operation he will
ask the surgeon what it is going TO
cost. Then he will hand him the
amount at once with the assurance
that the fee goes whether the operation
comes off or doesn't. He reasons that
the doctor VIII then have no possible
temptation if it comes to a toss up
whether to operate or take a chance.

WHERE ROSES GROW WELL

Success with roses depends on three
things-the climate. soil and location
n the yard. The question OF climate
must be met by selecting only such
varieties as will succeed where we
live, and doing without the beautiful
varieties which do well only in faVora-
bic localities.
AS one approaches and goes south
of tire Ohio river, all roses do well and
even the tender tea roses will winter
with slight protection. Farther north,
In northern Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin,
northern New York and similar lati-
tudes, we have the, hot sun of summer,
long droaths kl midsummer, severe
cold in winter with little snow and
sudden and severe changes in tempera-
tura at all times. These conditions
of course are modified by lake infiu-
erce on the east shore of Lake Michi-
san and the south of Lakes Erie and
Ontario. But they are very unfayora-
ole to the growth of any but the
harder roses.
O.; course careful protection will win
ter many kinds that would otherwise

Atmosphere is the name applied to
the gaseous envelope that surrounds
the globe. 1t consists OF a mechan-
icai union of nitrogen and oxygen in
the ratio OF four to one. together with
a relatively small amount of carbonie
acid gas and little water vapor. Its
thickness is about fifty miles. although
1t probably extends in an attenuated
form as far as 500 miles. This is in
ferred from the observation of lumi-

Of fifteen pounds to the square inch

Each adult inhales one gallon of air

Rabelais, being out of money. once

from Marseilles to Paris on charge
OF treason. He made up some pack

POISON for the royal family" The
officers took Rabelais 700 miles only to
be told at the end of their journey
that it was April and the affair was
a hoax. OF course, as Rabelais was
the privileged wit of the royal family,

THE ANCIENT BOW.

It Varied In Shape With the Different
Nations.
Although universally used by the an
clients, the form of the bow varied
with different nations. The Scythian
bow was in the form of the letter O.
and the bow of the Tartars, descend
ants of the Scythians, still keeps that
shape. The Greek bow was not more
than four feet in length, but so stout
and stiff that 1t required considerable
strength and skill to use It 1t is said
that the first Greek bows were made
from the horns of species OF goat,
the bases being united by means OF
metallic band. Afterward other mate
rial was used in their manufacture,
but they still retained their original
shape These bows were too short to
be of much use, and only small por-
ton of the troops were armed with
them.
The Romans brought the bow to
Britain, where it at once obtained IA
vor and during the middle ages was
extensively used, forming an inpor-
tant weapon of the armies OF that
period The English archers were said
to besthe finest in the world, and their
skill decided the battles of Crecy. Pol
tiers and Agincourt- The bows used
were of two kinds-the longbow and
the arbalest, or crossbow, The arbalest
was made of steel or horn and was of
such strength and stiffness that 1t was
necessary to use some mechanical ap-
pliance to bend 1t and adjust the
string The arbaleSterS carried Quiv-
ers with fifty arrows and were placed
in the van of the battle.-St James
