TIiciv U a movement on foot to cre-
ate a new county out of the west half
of Ik-aver county. The |M?oplc of this
section are unanimous for the new
county, chiefly bocau*) of the great dis-
tance to the present county seat. Those
who travel the road say it l« 150 mile*
from here to Beaver, and most of the
road Is across a high prairie where few
ranches are to be found, In winter
time danger of being caught in storms,
bewildered and frozen, is greater than
at flrst believed. Rather than make the
trip many neglect their business with
county offlccr*, ot, where it can be done
employ someone to attend to it for him
At this distance from tlie county seat
taxpayers know little of what is going
on in tho management of county affairs
No railroad, no telegraph, no telephone,
aud a 150 miles to the county seat. One
lav 't iu the Co. court would serve to
break an ordinary mau up, on account
of mileage. A witness or a juror must
lose 8 or 10 days in going to and from
the county seat, beside the discomfort
aud danger from storms. Little relief
would be gained by pulling the county
seat 20 or 30 miles west. To do that
would only be a hardship on the peo-
ple on the eastern line of the county.
The fact of the matter is Beaver coun-
ty is too large Tiie laws in so large a
county cannot be successfully enforced,
and hence are of little benefit to the
citizens. If the laws could be, and were
properly enforced, the expense would
ruin tho taxpayers. Tho west end
should have a county, liayu a county
for economy's sake, if for nothing else.
A. S. Palmer has taken a contract

Horace Easley has matched his 2:40
pacer against It. W. Wagnei's Grey-
Track Jumper. The Easley horse is to
pace a quarter as quick as the groy runs

It takes three days to go to John
Labries ranch and back, from the
raging Carrizoso via. of John Pawleys,
especially if you are after cabbage and
apples, and a blizzard prevails. Mrs.
Smart and Mrs. Messenger of the
Carrizoso can give you full particulars.
Horace EaUey has sold his improve-
ment on the Carrizoso, to Jas. Pylos,
who, we understand, will open a saloon
about Jany. 1st. Mr. Easley will have
a new residence built on the quarter-
section proper that lie Intends to prove
up. The present improvement is said
to bo a fractional part ot* a forty acre
tract.
Henry Drew went hunting Tuesday,
for quail. Dick Thorp went along to
carry the game. At sight of the birds
Henry became nervous and muttered
"Dick! Dick! take tiie g n!" No, no,
Henry, shoot, quick!'" says Dick. "I
can't, the gun shakes-" Dick killed a
bag of game, and Henry was telling
up town what a sportsman he was.

tial houses iu Beaver county are found

Tlie Nicaraugua canal bill is to be
considered by the Sanate Monday,
thanks to the persistency of Senator
Morgan. As one of the Hawaiian Com-
missioner* appointed by the President,
and having long been an advocate of
the caual and the annexation of Hawaii,
Senator Morgan may be considered one
of the strong supporters of the adminis-
tration in its expansion policy, notwith-
standing his staunch Democracy. His
position affords an interesting evidence
of the breaking up of party lines on
the new questions that are now before
the country.—Kansas City Star.

Attempt at Suicide.
it Might Have Been Prevented.
[From the Boston Post.]
While the walks in the Public Garden
were crowded yesterday afternoon about
4.30 o'clock, people near the entrance gates
at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
we e horrified to see a man suddenly plnng*
a knife repeatedly into hi* throat and fall to
the ground.
W bile wai'vng for a conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who wa*
about 50 years of age, as to his name, address,
and reason l'or wishing to end his life, bi:t
lite man steadfastly refused to give any infor-
mation regarding himself. He was taken to
the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable he
will recover. About 9 o'clock last night a
hospital attendant got a little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D , and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
bit head hat felt queer, and he has been wan-
dering about the city, not knowing which way
to turn. What impelled him to commit his
rash act he was unable to Bajr.
The above is the familiar hut terrible
story of the results of mental derangement
caused by overstrain of the nervons system.
People who have disines*, headache or bat k-
arhe, or who are troubled with melancholy or
dapo-vient feelings, are already well on the
road which leads to insanity and #tcieide.
"Dr. Miles Medical Co.: I cannot find
language in which to express my appreci

When life became a burden I would use the

t >calm my exhausted and irritable braiu."
