brought to this place by Postal Inspector

been held for action of the Federal grand
jury in the sum of $2000, on a charge of
robbing the mail. Not being able to fur
nish bonds for his appearance In this
sum, he is now confined in the county
Jail.
The circumstances of the case show
that Uncle Sam's postal servants are
sometimes unprofitable on -rural mall
routes as well as In metropolitan offices.
O'Brien's seasons of unrighteousness- were
brought about by Indulgence in strong
drink. A short time since he. was driv
ing the stage carrying United States mall
between Lamcn and Venator. On his last
trip he carried as passenger an EneliEh
gentleman who believed in the "high
life." They are said to have got drunk,
and, while In this condition, to have
opened and rifled the mall sacks. When
the enormity of their crime dawned upon
them, the driver became greatly alanped
and startedto run away with the stage.
Ho soon abandoned the vehicle, however.
and disappeared.

Clark, who telegraphed descriptions of the
men. together with orders to arrest them,
Sheriff Allen apprehended O'Brien and
arraigned him on the charge of embez
sling United States mail. The where
about of the accomplice, Edward Llncsay
are not definitely known, but It is thought
that he is near Wlnnemucca, Nev. War
rants are out for his arrest, as it Is sup
posed that he is really at the bottom of
the mischief.

No More Hydraulic Mining Leases.
VANCOUVER, B. C Feb. 20. There
will bo no more hydraulic mining leases in
the Yukon. An order in Council has Just
been past rescinding the regulations for
the disposal of mining locations in the
Yukon territory worked by hydraulic min
ing processes. These regulations were
adopted by an order in Council of De
cember, 1SSS, and amended at different
times by subsequent orders. All these or
ders are now rescinded, and mining will
be carried on In tho Yukon under placer
mining regulations. Leases which have
been granted under these regulations are
not lnterefered with, although a number of
parties are in danger of having their loca
tions cancelled through noncompliance
with the obligations they have undertaken.
The fact that the regulations have been
rescinded would go to show that those
who hold leases under these will be ex
pected to fulfill the duties imposed upon
them.

He Joined a. company of friends at his

He. then opened the safe, took out some
warrants, wheeled back to the desiC,
placed a pistol to his temple and -fired.
The pistol fell to the floor. The body re
mained erect, the head falling slightly
back. In this position ho was found by
the County Clerk and later by tho Cor
oner's Jury.
Experts were working on the books and
hod asked to see the contents of the
safe. The lack of system In keeping the
books was such that their condition could
not be ascertained. From bis last mes
sage, an unsigned letter to a friend, which
he left on his desk, this fact led to the
suicide. The letter continues: "Some
warrants I cannot account for, and always
thought I could never survive such a con
dltlon. I always tried to lead an honor
able life and have property enough to
square all my obligations. If anyone
were depending on me, I would light the

one and will no longer be a burden. I
am not afraid of death and will now un

here six years ago from what is now
Wheeler County. His habits were quiet
and he leaves considerable property.
which will probably suffice to pay any
shortage that may exist Only a thor

of this shortage.
There is great excitement and universal
regret at Martin's suicide.

your wonderful medicine. If all women

CUPID'S PLA.CE.
Cupid has no place in a girl's heart
if she is nervous and irritable, feela
dragged down, worn out for no reason
that she can think of. In such cases the
body is not sound. The nervousness and
other symptoms are telegraphed all over
the body by the nerves, which is the
telegraphic system of the human body,
because the weak spot demands atten
tion. The weak tack, dizzy spells and
black circles about the eyes are only
symptoms. Go to the source of the
trouble and correct the irregularity.
The drains on the womanly system and
the other symptoms disappear. This
can be done easily and intelligently.
Mrs. Dora Chilton (General Merchant),
Peggy, Mo., writes : " For five years I suf
fered with womb trouble, but after using
ten bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription I have enjoyed splendid health
and gained twenty pounds. I most heart
ily recommend your ' Favorite Prescrip
tion' to all sufferers from similar troubles.
Many thanks for the Woman's Friend.'
