ing and confidence increased. She
looked very we'll this morning. Since
Dominick's return she had looked
haggard and thin. Sometimes she had
seemed to see, showing shadowy
through her reflected face in the mir
ror, the lines and hollows Of that face
when time should have put a stamp on
it that neither massage nor pigments
would efface. A sudden moment of
revelation showed her herself as an
old woman. her nose pointed. her
mouth a thin, tight line. This morn
ing the glass gave her back none of
these disconcerting hints. She was at
her best. and as she dressed carefully
and slowly, she had the satisfaction OF
seeing that each added article OF ap-
parel increased her good looks. When
she finally put on her new hattie

Dominicks return-and over 1t tied a

glass, surveying her back and side
views. and finally lifting her skirt that
she might see the full effect OF her
lilac petticoat as It burst into sight
in an ebullition Of pleats and frills.
Walking up the avenue she was
bridlingly conscious that her brilliant
appearance drew its tribute Of glances.
Many people looked at her, and their
sidelong admiration was an even more
exhilarating tonic than the sunshine.
She walked with a light, elastic step,
spreading perfume on the air, her
progress accompanied by a rich seduc-
tive rustic. Once or twice she passed

o-er their heads. The sound made by
her brushing silk petticoats was graft
fyingly aggressive. She impaired to
them a slight disdainful swing, and
lifted her dress skirt daintily higher,
conscious Of the irnpeccable amplitude
Of her emerging lilac frills.
The habit Of dining with her own
people on Sunday had been one she

his wife's relations appealed to him.
For all his advantages In money and

source of supply in case of emergen-
cy in supplying the table, buying the
groceries and keeping him out of
debt for long intervals.
The farmers flock should be pro-
life without sacrificing other quail
ties. They should be good table fowls.
To satisfy mis- requirement they must
be of good size, plump and of good APP
pearance when dressed. They must
be hardy and good foragers, as there
is much waste food on the farm that
can be converted into cash returns
by the fowls. The hens must be good
sitters and mothers, as many farmers
are not ready to buy incubators-al-
though they should do so at once.
These are questions that are being
studied by the careful, and each in
dividual will have to determine the
matter for himself. An old farmer
who is now off the active list. but sill
lives on the farm and raises poultry
as a diversion says he visited many
poultry shows just to inspect some
of the best birds of the new varieties.
and he says that he has never seen
anything better than the Plymouth
Rock and Wyandotte varieties for real
business stock He said: You can
tell inquirers that these two breeds
are still at the top, and there are
enough varieties of them to please
any sensible person. AS to individual
taste. the old Indian said If men were
all alike they would all want his
sQuaw."
So many varieties of chickens have
been evolved that it seems as il there
should be nothing left to be sought
or desired in the way of beauty or
utility.

Berry was the last Of the line. In
the furry of departure her silence had
passed unnoticed, and that she should
thus lag at the tail of the procession
was not in any way remarkable, as.
at the best of times, she was not much
of a walker and in her high-heeled
Sunday shoes her progress was always
deliberate.
Looking ahead Of her, she saw the
landscape still as a picture under the
slanting, lurid sunlight. 1t seemed to
be painted with unnaturally glazing
tints, to be soaked in color. The grass,
crossed with long shadows. was of the
greenness of an aniline dye, The
massed foliage of tree groups showed
melting richness Of shades, no one

Nevada Northern Cobre
Trains On New Time
Commencing April 3

Thursday April 3. change will
take place on the Nevada Northern
railroad, affecting principally the
main line passenger trains between
Ely and Cobre, and made necessary
by the new time card on the South
ern Pacific. By the change, the
morning traini No. 3, from Ely to
Cobre, will leave at GAO a. m, and
arrive at Cobre at II a. m, making
a close connection with the west
bound mail from Ogden, at 11:05 a.
m. The train for Ely will leave
Cobre at 1880 a. M, and arrive in
Ely at 1858 p. m.
The change practically cuts out the
possibility of travellers from this dis
trict to go to Salt Lake City over the
Southern Pacific, as the only east
bound train that stops at Cobre fol-
lowing the arrival of the Ne
yada Northern train, is at 1888 p
m. Therefore, travellers to Salt Lake
will have to make Western Pacific
connection for that point, at Shafter
The new arrangement will bring the
mail into Ely at an earlier hour, and
also give travelling men an oppor-
tunity to transact considerable busi-
ness in the afternoon following ar
rival here. Westbound travellers will
also be landed in San Francisco
about three hours earlier than for

IL John Magnuson, proprietor of
the Ely Photoplay, was superstitious,
he would be hustling around to find
the dope for eounteracting the ho-

has done some hustling, for as soon
as the mishap, to the mirror in ques-
ton was disclosed, John made tracks
to the telegraph office and ordered
another.
All of the foregoing applies TO the
big mirror screen recently ordered
for the Photoplay, to replace the old
screen of the ordinary kind upon

NOTHING DOING BY HALL
FOR HALL FOR BOXING BOUTS.

Reports have gained circulation
that H. o. Hall, proprietor of the
Northern hotel, was to erect an
arena large enough to seat an au-
dience of 400, and would dedicate
its use to fistie encounters of a ma
ture to attract sports for miles around
to the ring side. Local sports have
pricked up their ears in anticipation,
but the fact is the report is prema-
ture. By the action of the legisla-
ture just ended, ten round boxing
bouts are permitted by law. Mr..
Hall has considered the project of
building an arena for sporting events
of such nature, but stated to rep
representative of the News, that ten
round boxing bouts would not prove
drawing card of sufficient interest
to effset the expense of building and
equipping the arena, and that he was
not planning to go ahead with the
enterprise.

TOrn0dO'S Dire
UOrk in Omaha

The past week has been marked
by two disasters that will be record
ed as among the historic calamities
of the country. The first occurred
at Omaha. Nebraska, Sunday night,
when a tornado cut a wide swath
through the residence section of the
city, killing and injuring many
citizens and did more or less damage
TO the business district.
The second tragedy attributed to
the forces of nature, was the flood in
Ohio, that in point of loss of life
and disaster. as bad as it was, APP
peared insignificant.
A statement given out by the 0m-
aha Commercial league relative to
the property loss states that 642
houses were totally destroyed, 1863
were damaged and 2,179 persons
made homeless. Following the dis
aster, fire broke out, but a dreneh-
| ing rain prevented the spread of the
! flames. Cold weather and snow that
set in after the tornado has added
greatly TO the suffering of those in
jured and left homeless. Martial
/ law was declared, and offers of relief
has been sent to the stricken city
from all parts of the country.
Not entirely without warning did
the tornado strike Omaha. The day
had been one of fitful sunshine and
winds. Immediately before the rush
of the storm the sun sank behind
dark clouds and death-foretelling
stiffness of atmosphere settled over
the city. Darker and darker grew
the afternoon. People in their Gu
riosity, mingled with fear of an APP
preaching storm, went to their front
porches to observe the sky.

hastened homeward. People instinc-
lively sought refuge indoors.

SAID TOBE
RICH IN GUAMO DEPOSIT

AS a result of the recent discovery
in a cave at Osceola, of an immense
deposit of bat guano, the Messrs.
Gunderson and Marriott Brothers of
Osceola, are preparing to make a
shipment of the fertilizer TO San
Francisco, and it is expected a car
lot of about fifteen tons will be sent
away this week. The guano is haul
ed by team to East Ely, and there
transferred to the cars. 1t is said
there are at least fifty ear loads of
the deposit in the cave, and that the
amount may even reach one hundred
car loads. If the experimental ship
ment to the coast results as expected
concerning the commercial value of
the fertilizer, the marketing of the
find will represent fineneial returns

Excursion Rates to Salt Lake.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the advertisement of low
round trip rates to Salt Lake City,
account of the Mormon Conference.
The particular feature of these rates
is that it will not be imperative that
passengers return via the same route
as was used on the going trip, which
is something patrons have never be-
fore been offered. 1t is a material
convenience to those who take ad-
vantage of these rates.
