victim to do this or that, or call
for water. In fact, it is generally
best not to say word, but to seize
a blanket or any woolen fabric-if
none is at hand, take any woolen
material-hold the corners as far
apart as you can, stretch them out
higher than your head, and run
ming boldly to the person, make Q
motion of clasping in the arms,
mostly about the shoulders. This
instantly smothers the FIRE and
saves the face.

burnt parts in cold water, and all
pain will cease with the rapidity Of
lightning. Next get some -four,
remove from the water, and cover
the burnt parts with IN inch in

the patient in bed, and do all that
is possible to soothe until the ply
sician arrives. Let the -four re-
main until it falls off itself, when .
beautiful new skin can be found.
Unless the burns are deep, no 9TH

dry -four for burns is the most ad.

This is a case presenting the question
whether, under the Nth amendment,
a woman who is citizen of the United
States and of the State, is n voter in
the State Notwithstanding the provi-
sion Of the constitution and laws of that

Berlin, March 20.-The Emperor's
Council has passed n secret ordinance,
strictly forbidding the expectation of
single horse from North Germany
to any place whatever. Our Consul
considers this action as extremely
significant, and this opinion Is shared
by the officials at the State Depart
ment. 1t would appear that either
North Germany is making extensive
arrangements for speedily strengthen
ing the entire cavalry of the Empire
or that the French Government is,
for some purpose, endeavoring to
make extensive purchases of horses in
Germany. The best authorities are of
the opinion that the first is the true
solution, and that it is not a hopeful
sign for the future peace of Europe.

CALLs.-We have been the recipient, during the week, of numerous friendly calls from officers at Fort Whippe, attorneys and others in attendance upon the district court, two ladies seeking to en- list us in another picnic excursion, and last tho not least, three members of the city council. These were not overly friendly however, as they presented themselves in mcnacing attitude with rakes, clubs and slaves in their hands, and in an authoritative and threatening manner de- manded permission to locate depot for hooks and ladders on the MINER grounds. Seeing the apparent specific gravity of our antagonists, and being aware of their power to enact even their most whimsical desires into ordinances, we sue cumbed and acccded to their unreasonable re- quest, so that now in case of fire the apparatus for extinguishing it will be found hung up against the north side Of the MINER office.

The balloon. which was some l2 or 15 feet in hight, rose steadily and rapidly, travelling in north-easterly direction, and was watched by a large crowd, for at least half an hour, until it was lost to sight in the distance.

Nor SATIsFIED.-The farmers and miners con- plain of the change of time for holding the Dis trict Court.

 Formerly when the Court met the Sd Monday in June, it was after the corn was planted, the water in the gulches had failed and the people were at leisure. Now it meets the first Monday in May, when it is the greatest hardship to leave both farms and mines. Planting is neglected, and the water in the mines is allowed to run away to no purpose.

 We have often been asked why and by whom the change was made, and as we don't know, we put the question to those who do, and ask in be- half of the people that it be changed back to June, or even later, so as to accommodate those who are obliged to attend as jurors, witnesses, etcetera.

Jo Knott finds some funny things one or two

 Of which he told us the other day: He loaned his horse and saddle to Abe Prather not long

 ago. and when Abe got done with them he turn. | ed the horse loose in Moeer's field and hid the

 saddle in the willows near the creek where he

 knew Joe could find it when he wanted to take a

 ride. It so happened that another man, whose

 name We have forgotten, had mule tied right

 near where the saddle was deposited, who dis

 covered the saddle and concluded 1t must belong

 to some thief who contemplated stealing his mule ] during the night. Impressed with this belief he

 went to the Sheritf's office and that officer ad-

 vised him to keep watch on the saddle and mule so that in the thief came he could have the drop on him and march him upto the jail.

 Pleased with the idea of protecting his own prop erty and at tn same time rendering the Territory some service, he hurried away and borrowed a double-barrel shotgun from Abe Prather, with which he sat and watched the saddle the live-long night and until Joe went to get his horse next morning. He had removed the saddle to another place, and, seeing Joe searching for it, naturally began to suspect it might be his, and came forth from his hiding place, otherwise he might have been watching yet.

 Another Is, that soon aIttr tnc MeAlc'tu "ouldu was lodged in jail charged with the murder Of Trujillo last week, her friends set to work to try to prove her innocent, and reported that they had discovered the man who did the killing. The officer who had arrested the woman was furnish ed pair Of shackles by the Sheriff and detailed to go out at night and bring him into camp. Be- fore starting on his trip he went home bearing the shackles with him, when his wife became curious to know how they were used. He, to satisfy her curiosity fitted them ou to her ankles. and as they locked with spring he readily showed her exactly how they worked After playing that she was bis prisoner for time, he finally concluded to take them of, when 10 both his and her disappointment he found that be had been furnished with the wrong keys, and as 1t had now grown so late that the Sherifrs office l was locked up he was obliged to let them raman | on until morning, while he sought for the SUD- | posed murderer without his irons.

We know why the animal Graves salt.
and why it ultimately falls into disease If
salt is for time withheld. Upward of half
the saline matter of the blood (51 per cent
consists of common salt; and as this Is
partly discharged every day through the
skin and Kidneys, the necessity Of contin-
ued supplies OF 1t to the body becomes suf-
ficiently obvious. The bile also contains
soda as a special and Indispensable cousti-
tuent. and so do all the cartilages of the

convinced, at least. of the necessity of feed
ing salt to our, ,stock-that it is one of the

of life for man and beast and il should be
profusely provided at short intervals, in

Ifyou cannot raise one crop to an advan-

capable of bringing out all the nobler and
manlier attributes of the human being and
fitting him as companion for holier life.

WHY FARMERS GROW Poor The cause
Of most poor land and bad farming is that
farmers TOO often sell OF all the valu able
parts of the crops and do not return enough
to the soil. Very good farmers sell the
grain and keep the straw to make manure.
But manure made from straw Is OF little
value, either for nitrogen or phosphates
and unless these are supplied the soil must
deteriorate. Clover furnishes nitrogen, but
the phosphates have to come from some
other source, generally by purchasing com
mercial fertilizers.
