St. Louli Republic. WEIRD TALE OF DEADMAN Indian Maggie Attempts Suicide Because tier John was Untrue Every housewife in Lakeview kr.ows Maggie, the mahala. Maggie ia the chief washerwoman of the town and John gets the money sometimes. Occasionally Maggie plays Piute and toys with the flowing bowl. But she never flirts John does that. John is the degraded husband of Maggie who "is no coquette." John is awful bad that way. And John don't care who he flirts with. He even falls iu love with "his own dear daugh ter," Bonnie, who has been a picturesque figure and a belle of the cam pood a at Deadman canyon for many moons. And this happy penchant for firewater and co quetting ou the part of John was the cause of all of poor Maggie's troubles last Thursday, when she came to realize that life was not worth living without John s love. Upon the occasion men tioned, Maggie attempted to shuffle off the mortal coil via the wild parsnip route, and it was not ber fault that she did not succeed, for it is said she devour ed a hat-full. Unfaithful John 1 Tender hands carried Maggie to the sweat-house from the scene of a melee in the alley in the rear of Hotel Lakeview, and there attempted resuscitation according to the Indian mode, by poking sticks down her throat, tickling ber chin with a feather, ef. Dr. Steiner and Druggist Beall were called finally, after poor Maggie bad al most reached the ?hore where she could look across and see the happy bunting grounds, and when they found her she waa reclining, not peacefully, in the sweat-house wrapped . in all the blankets in Deadmans town, with great hot boulders all about her. The good doctor soon gave her something that brought her from the jaws of death and the outside of a great quanity of poison ous parsnips. The druggist also tried his bkill later on with much good effect. Maggie once more trods the thorny pathway ot life and is doing her regular washing about town and seeking consola tnn in her sorrow from the good house wives. Thus ends another episode in the life of the denizing of Headman town and the end is not yet. f ., If the present good work continues'it is thought that the telephone line will be completed to Paisley in side of a wek or probably two. The first time since Adam exclaimed to Eve: "Hello, youy'e raised Caiu," will Lakeview have the opportunity to say: "Hello, Pauley, you have been discovered, you are now iu the United States, Let us rejoice together."

This will be the new order: From Picard the mail will be carried to Klamath Falls by the Ashland-Klamath Falls stage, thus doing away with the present parallel line over this route- 76126, from Alturas, by Davis Creek and New Pinecreek, to Lakeview, 61 miles and back, seven times a week. Bond required with bid, $5,500. Present contract pay, $2,065; sub-contract, $1,973.33. The time on the present con tract is 12 hours in summer and 18 hours in winter, and the new contract calls for 12 hours winter and summer ; thus it ' will be seen that a much higher bid will be required on thia route. Biddeis should not forget this fact w hen making their bids, as the extra stock required in winter, and the necessity for mora stations will run the expense considerably higher. Klamath River Railroad. (Yreka Journal.) The survey for a railroad up the Klamath river from the vicinity ot Vir ginia ranch, near Klaniathon, to a point north of the Oregon boundary, has been completed, and the work of building will soon be commenced. K. R. ties will be ready on the ground before long, and it is claimed that the grading and buildiug will be completed to Pokegama iu Oregon y next spring, There is a great amount of timber all along the route, of 25 miles or more, to make good business hauling to the S. P. junction, besides other local traffi?, in cluding cattle from Oregon now shipped from other points on the S. P. line.
