ELECTRIC STORMS PLAY HAVOC

seemed like celestial target practice
with every shot scoring a perfect
bulls eye and keeping the pole lines
all mussed up This lasted until 9
p. IN. and accounts for the fact that
Tonopah was in darkness for three
hours Sunday night and that the night
shifts did not go underground In any
of the local mines owing to the un-
certainty of power.
The wires between Silver Peak and
Millers were down al Sunday and
the same situation existed between
Silver Peak and Alkali Yesterday
the power into Millers by direct line
was off and service was maintained
by back current from Tonopah 3
Eight men were kept going all Sun
day night trying to repair damages
and they report they never saw the
like of the country for radius of
forty miles from Tonopah. Lightning
seemed to take a malicious delight in
shooting off insulators and the desert
was strewn with sections of broken
crockery from the immense insula-
tors that weigh 150 pounds each. The
last shooting of the elements required
wagon load of insulators to supply
those which had been shot off the
crossarms.
The Rhyolite line was shot down
in Tule canyon and is still down
after twenty hours. 1t was reported
also that there had been a washout
at Bonnie Claire.
This morning there was severe
electric storm in the White noun
tains when at 7:45 it was reported
the lightning was playing across the
summit and threatening every mo.
ment to get the Nevada line between
the range and Palmetto. The strang-
est part of the whole experience was
that not drop of rain fell during the
electric display The lightning ar
resters all worked beautifully or
Tonopah would have been chief suf-
ferer from the storm. Trouble shoot.

TWO MASKED MEN HOLD UP
PLAYERS IN KENDALL BASEMENT

Masked holdups raided game of
whist in the basement of the Kendall
block last night about 1880 o'clock
and got away with diamond valued
at $30e belonging to one of the play
ers and about $500 in cash taken from
patrons of the game and a small
quantity of watches and jewelry
found in the pockets of the half dozen
men and boys who we're in the
place.
For pay night the attendance was
small and as the night wore around
to twelve o'clock the crowd slowly
diminished until at 1880 there were
but six or seven in the place. The
bandits came downstairs with their
faces covered with pieces of black
cloth and danced into the room with
sort OF Jig step, calling to the bunch
to hold up their hands. The actions
OF the men we're rather amusing and
one OF the crowd thought the hold
up business was only feint and a
laugh was raised until the robbers
called down the man who saw the
funny situation by poking him In the
ribs with a gun. Another one OF IN
gamblers tried TO pass back OF the
holdups and received vigorous kick
that sent him reeling 10 his corner

BETTER THAN TOWN CLOCK
Musicians PunctuaIity Utilized by
Cabman to Assure the Correct
Timing Of His Watch.

The average person is SO indolent
that it is refreshing to read the fol
lowing anecdote Of a man who was
noted for punetuality;
When Rossini, the Italian composer,
was director of the Theater 1talien in
Paris he used to attend the rehearsals
every morning. Precisely as the clock
struck nine he came out of his house
and hailed the nearest cab. Eyentu-
ally a certain cabman noticed it and
was at the masters door each morn
ing. AS soon as Rossini entered the
cab the driver would look at his watch
and then drive off at a good pace.
This proceeding was repeated every
day. Rossini often wondered whether
the driver looked at his watch to seq
how much time he had to get to the
theater.
Finally one day he said: my friend,
why do you always look at your watch
as soon as I enter your cab?"
Monster will pardon me-" replied
the cabman, laughing, but | do it to
see whether my watch is right

Korean MARRIAGES.

Marriages between widows and
bachelors are very much in favor in
Korea because not nearly so much
money is required from the bridegroom
as in the case of his marriage with a
young girl. The i%mpecunious BRIDE
groom is scorned by the parents of the
girl and he is also unable to pay for
the elaborate wedding ceremonies
which must take place. All Of this he
escapes by running off with a widow.
1t happens in Korea, as in other coun-
tries, that the impecunious bachelor
is often more desirable from every
point of view bdt a mercenary one
than the well to do member of the
community. Consequently. the widow
has a way Of attaching a handsome
young husband to herself that might
well be enyied by the young girl

AboIishes Fee system.

Kirksville.-This town is now un-
der the commission form of govern
ment. The new commission, as n
of its first acts, abolished the fee sys-
tenn and placed all city officers on a
salary.
The salary of the police judge was
then fixed at $3.50 a year, that Of the
city marshal at 5000 and city attor-
ney, $1,000. In all these offices the
fees are to be collected as heretofore,
but all of them are to be turned into
the city treasury. The salary of the
marshal was formerly $50 a month be-
sides his fees, that Of the city attor-
ney $16.16 a month and fees, and the
police judge $500 a year besides his
fees.
The old city council, as one of its
last acts, fixed the mayors salary at
$3.50 a year and that Of each com
missioner at 5000.
