Nee holds with Dode Paskert one of
the records of the Central League
Last year, with Dayton. he vas the
iead-off batsman, and made the re-
markable record of leading off or
fifteen consecutive days with a safe
hit. The record had only been equaled
once before in the Central League, and
Dode Paskert. the clever outfelder, now
with the Phillies. was the man to do
1t. On the sixteenth day Nee stepped
up to the plate at the start of the gam
prepared to break Paskert's record.
which had been made two years
previous. He met the ball ~squarely.
but his luck had changed: it went
straight at a fielder. Nee says that
he was robbed of several stolen bases
last year by the scorers of the Central
League. For instance, in the case of
the delayed steal with a man on third
and a man on first Nee would steal
second. and no attempt would be made
to nail him in order that the man on
third might o sneak home. The
scorers ruled hat inasmuch as no at
tempt had been made to nail Nee he
was not entitled to a stolen base. Nee
stole third as often as he did second
last year, and appears to be a good
baserunner. His record of thirty-seven
stolen bases last year Is passable any
where.

RATS ARE COSTLY vERMIN
Reports Show They Destroy Food and
Material Worth Over 81, o0o,0o0
Each Year In England.

The reports from various East
Anglican { England) districts Of pro-
posed immediate official action for
the destruction Of rats show that the
danger Of an influx Of the vermin to
the country surrounding the scene
of the original warfare in the Or
well peninsula has been fully real
lied.
From reports which the Inccrpo-
rated Society for the Destruction Of
Vermin collected a little while ago
it was shown that in all parts Of the
country the number of rats was in
creasing and their damage getting
worse.
"By way of the throat of the rat, "
il was stated, "there is a wastage Of
more than $75,0O0,OOO worth of
good food and material per annum."
The conclusion reached was that
nothing short of concerted national
action would ever be able to solve the
rat problem.

EXAMINATION IN FLocoImc.

Quoting from Student Life in
the Middle Ages" a paper recently
read by c. D. Burns Of Bradford,
we learn that in the taking up Of a
degree in grammar at some Of the
universities the prospective school
master had to provide himself with a
birch and boy, and as part Of his
examination he had to administer a
hogging to the boy in public, the
boy being given groat for his serv-
ices. A large part of the education
lay in debate between the boys, under
the supervision of the master, the
method bringing out the boys rea-
isoning powers instead Of merely
ycramming them with facts, as is too
often the method of today.-Uniyer-
lsity Correspondent.

CLEARLY SHOWN.

A story is told Of a simple and
1evout Methodist minister who was
not sufficiently eloquent or business
ike to be approved by the presiding
elder.
Through the influence of the ED
sr he felt sure he was appointed to a
small and widely scattered settle
ment, where there was much hard
work and the results were necessa-
rily meager.
One day he was commenting sadly
IN the narrowness Of his opportun;.
ties to friend, who said gravely
that he ought to pray for light that
he might see the hand Of the Lord
in his appointment.

"sgain and again. But so far" he
added, with a whimsical smile, "I've
only had light enough to see the in

Why Women Prefer it.

When the newsboy comes through
the train with the Chicago papers
watch the married couple across
the aisle. If the man is a well-reg-
ulated husband he will ask his wife
which paper she prefers, and then
you may lay odds that the one
chosen will be the Chicago Record
Herald. There is no myster,
about it. The man knows that ht
will find all the news in the RECORD
Herald. to be sure, but the woman
knows it is the only paper that al
SO gives adequate attention to thu
things in which women are special
ly interested. In every daily issue
she can find bill of fare for the
days three meals, reliable society
news, good book reviews, bright
verses and jokes without vulgarity
a cartoon that anybody can enjoy
and fair share of the news of the
day relating to women. Ever,
Monday there is "Martha's Man
agement, a very helpful column
of culinary topics. In the Sunday
edition whole section is devoted
to women, including Marion Har-
lands famous page, Jeanette
Hopes fashions direct from Paris,
Dame Curtsey's Novelties in En-
tertainment" and many special ar
ticles of timely interest. Then
there is the Sunday Magazine OF
the Record Herald, a real maya
zine, full of good love stories and
beautiful pictures. Do you wond-
er that women prefer the Record
Herald?

LOVE THAT FAILED.

For ten long but blissful years

love; but as yet the lovesick youth
had never mentioned about their
getting married. Courtship is very
charming, but when there does not

OPEN AIR LIBRARY FOR HosoEs.

William Wheeler Fippen, justice
of the peace of Penryn, CAL, has es-
tablished library for hoboes in a
grove Of trees near his place. 1t is
believed that his hobo library is the
only one of its kind in the United
States. Books, magazines and daily
newspapers are supplied.
In addition to having shelves sus-
pended from the limbs of the trees
and cases standing against the large
trunks of the oaks and pines, Ftp
pen has placed long table in the
grove, supplied with two benches
and several armchairs for the read
ers. Fippen has few hoboes to deal
with in his court, because they all
know him and respect him.

better hotel accommodations in the
terminal city and the Mills hotel is
designed to meet the requirements
of the town and travelling public.
The mixed train from Cheyenne
Junction to Faith last evening was
overloaded with passengers as us
ual. Two coaches were used TO-
the accommodation of travellers and
the seating capacity taxed to its
utmost limit and in addition more
than 60 passengers were compelled
to stand up in the aisles all the way
from the junction to this station.
An extra coach was sent out from
the junction over the Isabel line in
stead of being attached 10 the trair
coming this way and the passeng
ers on the Cheyenne branch were
put to much inconvenience and dis
comfort in consequence. The rail
road company collects first-class
fares from the patrons of the .roaC
and it should be compelled to give
them at least seat room for thei1
money. 1t must be we'll known
fact to the railroad officials that in
adequate service is being furnished
on this line and if they continue
negligent in this matter radical act
ion must be taken to compel them
to meet their obligations to the
public.

are at work on the leyees in con-
nection with the dam. Another
force is at work on the big ditch
that is to carry the water to the

of the town of Golconda. This
ditch, which is to be about five
miles in length, however, will not
be completed for some time.
This is another Humboldt county

J, |. WORKMAN

FOR S8I4,OOO.OO
BIG DAMAGE SUIT IS BROUGHT
BY MAMMOTH NATIONAL
MINES COMPANY.

Suit has been instituted in the
Humboldt district court by the Mann
moth National Mines company VS..
J. l.. Workman, Ida c. Workman,
William II. Jordan, Purcell Rowe
and Walter S. Brann. The plain
tiffs ask judgment in a total sum
of $S14,500 upon two causes Of
action. On the first cause of ac-
ton the plaintiff alleges that de-
PENDANTS are indebted to it in the
sum of $67,750 for money which
the defendants have received within
two years past, no part of which has
been paid. On the second cause
of action the plaintiff asks judgment
for $627,000 general damages; for
$6S, 500 expended in mining opera
tons on the Charleston Hill Ma
tional Mining Syndicate property at
National; for $4,000 expended in
litigation arising over said premises
and for $43,250 damages by reason
of plaintiff being prevented from
extracting ores from said premises
This is another case in the maze
of National mining litigation, which
has become so complex and many
sided as to be beyond the compre'
hension of any person but a law
yer. Presumably this heavy damage
suit is the outcome of the recent
trouble at National between J. l.
Workman and the Mammoth Ma
tional Mines company, which ha!
been doing work upon two mining
claims lying alongside the Nationa
Mines company's property. An ape1
suit between the two companies il
now pending in the United State!
court at Carson City. A few weeks
ago Workman partly dispossesseC
the Mammoth National, claiming, i
is understood, that the company haC
failed in it's payments on the prop
erty, and since that time both Work
man and the company have beef
working the property. 1t is pre-
sumed the suit that has just beef

FREIGHT FOR
JARBIDGE GOING
IN On SLE|GHS

To the people lower down in the
scale of altitude the above at this
time of the year sounds rather odd,
but to those in Charleston and Jar
bidge it is a cold fact.
Freight is hauled on wagons from
Deeth, on the railroad, to Charles
ton, distance of 50 miles, and at
this place the wheels are taken off
the wagons and long, broad run
ners are substituted, the remainder
of the journey being splendid sleigh
ing, as the roadbed is now packed
solid and makes an ideal sleigh
road. AS the winter months ap-
proach, the teamsters carry both
the wheels and the runners on the
loads. Here is encountered a bare
spot on the road, where the wind
has blown the snow away, the
wheels are used. Where the snow
is deep and sleighing good, the
driver substitutes the wheels for
runners, and the heavy wagon
trains proceed merrily on their way.
This, the teamsters declare, makes
the easiest freighting imaginable,
and if the road is broken, it is
easier to haul a large load on
runners than on wheels.
The latest report from Jarbidge
is that the Fletcher mill was in
operation four days last week and
the cleanup last Saturday night
hetted over $4,000
The PavIak mill is now in active
operation and are devoting all their
attention to the rich ore that has
been taken out of the mines, the
dump being just above the mill
and all that is necessary is to
shovel the ore into the chute.
The work on the Success group
of claims is still progressing and
the Wine in the upper tunnel has
