Thelbert Troxler had the misfor-
tune of breaking his leg yesterday
afternoon. In company with several
of his young friends he was looking
over the new city water works and
electric light buildings, and stepped
on an insecure pile of lumber. The
lumber began falling and before he
could get out of the way his leg was
caught under several large pieces. His
friends succeeded in getting the tim
bers moved, but not until the leg had
been broken just above the ankle. He
was moved to the home of his parents
Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Troxler on South
Sanchez street, where two physicians
dressed the limb. Though his wound
is a painful one and will necessitate
lying up for month or more, it is
not thought that he will suffer per-
manent injury from it.

TWAIN MADE PAPER FAMOUS
Virginia City Enterprise, Now Defunct,
Printed Some of the Best Work
of Great Humorist.

To only the old or middle-aged wiz
there be anything significant in the
announcement that the Enterprise
newspaper at Virginia City, Nevada,
has passed away. The Enterprise was
not potent as a molder of public opin-
ion. It's circulation was not notable,
and outside of the state few people
knew of its existence. But it had once
one member of the staff who made 1t
famous in his day and who himself
later became famous.
1t was the Enterprise ON which Mark
Twain first used that name which af-
terward became household word.
He had contributed articles from min
ing camps under the pseudonym Of
"Josh," but when he joined the staff
he adopted as sobriquet "Mark
Twain" a Renaissance of his pilot
days. As new strikes" were made the
newspaper Office was moved first from
Genoa to Carson and later to Virginia
City.
One can visualize Mark in the En-
terprise Office of the '60s, his long legs
twisted about the tilted chair, the old
hat on his great brush Of hair, writ
ing some such matter as "Mr. Bloke's
Item,'' swapping stories with Dan de
guile, or listening to the quaint ver-
nacular of visiting miners or prospec-
tors. 1t was there he began the first
of those experiences which were TO en-
rich the literature of the country and
to teach tired world how to laugh.
The Enterprise is gone, but so are the
OIL City Derrick, the Laramie Boom
erang, and the Danbury News, at least
no one now hears Of them since the
humorists who made the regulations
of those journals have passed away.

Gasliaht In Oil Lamp.

A war time substitute for the kero-
sene oil light has been provided in
Germany in the form of a carbide
candle which supplies the old lamp
with acetylene gas, the Columbia State
notes. The candle is a cylinder having
a suitable gas burner at the top and a
removable cover at the bottom, and
holding two or three ounces of cal
cium carbide. 1t Is set into the lamp
after the oil burner has been removed.
In operation the font of the lamp is
about half filed with water and the
carbide filed candle is placed in it,
when the moisture reaching the car
bide causes the generation of acety-
lene for considerable time. The rate
of emission of gas is regulated by vary
ing the amount of water. A chalky
residue is left on the exhaustion of
the carbide, but this is easily removed
when dry or with suitable care, while
still wet and in this state giving off a
small amount of infammable gas. The
average cost of the carbide used is
stated to be about quarter of cent
an hour.

When Cows Sold at sis.

How the increase in the cost of hv-
ing has progressed in the last thirty
or forty years was discussed by Gov.
J. B. Kendrick of Wyoming, an old
stockman, who has watched the march
of events Today chicken is worth
more than a turkey was a few years
ago; turkey more than hog; hog
more than a cow used to be worth, and
COW more than horse. This illus
trates the increase in the price of
food stock.
sIn March, 1879, I went down TO
Texas to look over two thousand head
of steers in Matagorda county, south
ern Texas Governor Kendrick said,
according to the Washington Post.
''While I was down looking over the
young cattle I was asked by the man
ager of the ranch If / cared to buy
some older steers. The owner, was
told, had q number of six-year-old
steers that he would sell. although he
was not anxious. He was going to
hold them until he got his price, he
declared. The manager impressed
upon me, however, that I need not
| hope to buy unless I was willing TIC
pay the owners price.
81 asked the price, and was told
that he wanted fifteen dollars head
Think of Fifteen dollars head fol
six-year-o1ds, and today calves are
bringing eighty-five dollars"

AK. Of k.v feared Drowning.

Lord Kitchener had sort of fore
boding of an accident at sea. So
much was this the case that he never
crossed from Dover to Calais without
wearing a lifebelt waistcoat, one that
he had specially made for him in
Egypt before he made his famous adj
vance to Khartum.
Though SO often on the sea and an
excellent sailor, he detested sea trips,
and never felt comfortable on board
ship. He complained that the sea
affected his sight.
Another curious point was that while
he always acquired curios In any part
of the world in which he might be,
he took care never to allow his pur-
chase to be on the vessel on which he
was a passenger.
