SHEEPMEN ARE FACING
VERY SERIOUS LOSSES

j. II. Tognoni, prominent rancher
and farmer of the Duckwater country,
in Nye county, was an Ely visitor dur
ing the week. Mr.. Tognoni states that
the continued dry weather and lack of
snow has produced very serious
situation for the transient sheepmen
who are now wintering their herds in
that section He estimates that there
are now about 100000 head of tran
scent sheep in that section, and as no
snow has fallen up to the present
time, it has been necessary to confin1
the range of sheep to within a few
miles of watering places, and as a
consequence the ranges have been
practically denuded of all feed, and
the sheep are now in poor condition
Unless snow comes soon the losses
in that section will be very heavy

THE GOOD OLD WINTER TIME

love the good old winter time;
/ love to shovel snow
And fuss around the furnace fire
To try and make her 90.
The biting winds, they just suit me,
They cannot blow too cold.
When | confront my coal bin, !
Am hopeful quite, and bold.
like the good old snappy night
When water pipes all crack.
love to call the plumber in
The morning to my shack.
do not fear the plumbers bills,
But pay 'em with good grace;
meet him at my front door with
A smile upon my fare.
| dearly love to slip and slide
And fall upon my ear
When | walk downtown every morn
That's crisp and bright and clear
| love to hear upon the snow
The heavy wagon squeak
love to wrap my head up so
will not freeze my beak.
love the good old winter time,
OF it ! never tire;
But still, think that | can hear
You softly whisper; "Liar!"

ask for peace. but the seven angels
who precede the three animals, de-
| tenders of the Lamb, have declared
that victory shall only be accorded on
the condition that the Antichrist be
crushed, like straw on the threshing
floor.
Executors Of the Lambs justice,
these three animals cannot stop fight
ing as long as any soldiers remain
to the Antichrist.
"The reason the justice of the Lamb
is so implacable is that the Antichrist
has pretended to be a Christian and
to be acting in His name, so that if
he did not perish, the fruit of the Re
demption would be lost, and the gates
of hell would prevail against the Sa
vior.
at will be seen that it is not a hui
man combat which will be waged
where the Antichrist FORCES his arms.
| The three animals, defenders of the
Lamb, will exterminate the Anti
christ's last army; but the battlefield
will become as an altar of sacrifice,
larger than the greatest of cities, and
the corpses will have changed its
shape by rising in it chains of mounds.
"The Antichrist will lose his crown,
and will die demented and alone. His
empire will be divided into twenty
two states, but none will have either
royal house, an army or vassals.
"The White Eagle, by Michaels
order, will drive the crescent from
Europe, where only Christians will
remain; it will occupy Constantinople.
"Then an era of peace and prosper
ity will commence for all the universe,
and there will be no more war, each
nation being governed according to
its wish and living in justice.
"There will be no more Lutherians
or schismatics. The Lamb will reign,
and the joys of humanity will COM
mence. Happy they who, escaping
from the perils of this prodigiou
time, can taste its fruit, which will
be the reign of the Eternal Spirit and
the sanctification of humanity, only
to be achieved by the defeat of the
Antichrist."
Such is the prophesy of Brother
Johannes. No matter who wrote it
or when, it is sufficiently startling to
make ones flesh creep, be supersti-
tious or not. The allusion to the
kaiser's withered arm, to the use of
aircraft in fighting, to the dropping
of bombs, to the election of Pope
Benedict, and to the death of Fran
els Joseph, are simply astounding.
Some points in the prophesy have been
! fulfilled even since its publication in
English two and half years ago.
The reference to the White Eagle is
interesting because, if the manuscript
really dates from the sixteenth or
seventeenth century, this would, in
the mind of the monk, apply to Po-
land whose arms include the white
eagle. But, above all, what holds the
attention is the prediction, already
fulfilled, of "a combat of dimensions
in armies employed, of losses in
Cured of atrocities INDUCED in by
the Germans, that few years ago
would have marked the author for a
padded cell in an asylum for the in
sane.

At the mass meeting which will be

Kaiser Wilhelm He comes of reg

respectable, thrifty and we'll behaved
individual The name has been Civ
en- him somewhat in jest and no in
dignity to the pig is intended. He
now weighs about 60 pounds and is
said to be growing at the rate OF
seven pounds a day. At the pre-
vailing price of pork this would make
his daily increase in value something
like $3.50. Good judges say that a
pig never grew at this rate and that
there must be some error in the stat
istics. There are no guarantees on
the point OF the daily increase in
weight The pig will be brought on
the stage in full view of the audience
The successful bidder, should he de-
sire, will be permitted to come to the
platform and carry him off but will
not be required to do so. Pork is
high and is going higher Come to
the meeting prepared to offer hand
some figure for Kaiser Wilhelm. In
years to come people will read the

interest the name of the patriot who
