Blonde Bcauly in its Waters, Mono lake constitutes one of tbe greatest natural deposits of fcair dye in the known world. A white-haired old Bodie man who went down to the lake this summer was so pleased With the bathiDg to be had.there that ho went in for a bwicn regularly every evening after finishing liis day’s work. He •was down at the lake two weeks, and when hs got back to Bodie hi* friends hardly knew him. He left Bodio a white-haired old man, aud be came back a golden blonde and apparently a man of only middle age. All wtio bathe iu the waters of that lako become blondes, and if the bath ing be persisted in for any length of time they got to be red-headed. A man last spring rented the Lcvining ranch, on the north side of the lake. He has three strapping daughters. As soon as tire water became warm enough the girls daily went bathing iu the lake, takirg for their mermaid gam bols, a time when the men were all out on the ranch at work. When they began taking their dips in the lake, the girla were brown-haired, but they soon found themselves becoming blondes. This so euvaged them that they soon bersme alarmed at the change in their hair. The old man.had noticed the gradn al change in tbe color of the hair of bis daughters, and was much astonish ed thereat, but he had bis suspicions and said botbiag. He kept quiet till the hair of the girls became a fiery red and then be went after the old Woman about it. When he got so bad that be talked about killing a red beaded man who had oace been his neighbor over in California, hi* old woman told him it was only the water of the lake, thattha transioriuitiun was caused by tbe girls- bathing in the l ike. The old nuao raid it might be, but be was nut satisfied. He ordered the obi lady to bathe legularly every day w th tbe girls, saying that if she be came red headed he would think there ■w -I something in it. Soon the hairot tbe old woman was as red as that of her (laughters. The old man still thought there was some trick about the business, so he tried the bathe himself. Now the old man, and all the family are gulden blondes.—[Virginia City [Enterprise. lie Shot His Sweetheart, aud Then Fired Two Bullets at Vis Own Heart. Elizabethtown, Ills., Sept. 9. —For several years John Server has been paying his attentions to Miss Joe Fer rel, daughter of Capt. J. S. Ferrel, a well ltßown and highly respected citi zen of this place. His suit was dis tasteful to the parents of Miss Ferrel, and they Lave done everything in a qniet way to alienate them. A few months ago they sent her te relatives at Metropolis, 111., as a means of sep arating them. She remained until yesterday evening and then returned home. She accepted Server’s com pany last evening and they started for her borne. They got just beyond the town limits when five pietol shots were heard in rapid succession. Hurrying to the spot from whence the shots came, both bodies were found by the road side, each weltering in its own blond. Tho unfortunate girl had bean shot twice, tho first ball taking effect in the back just midway between the shoulders and one in the musole of the left arm. Sbe was suffering terribly, while a few feet away from her lay the body of Server, his eyes closed as uf n death. By his hand lay a 38 calibre Ameri can bnll-dog with which be had just sent two bullets crushing through his body just below his heart. He was conscious, but very weak, and in an swer to a question, stated that he had nothing to say. A few moments after tbe father of the girl came ruling up with a double ba:rel shot-gnn, atod was in the act of emptying its con tents into the helploss body of Servor, when it was wrenched from bis hands. Server wars carried to the residence of hie brother and is now rapidly growing weaker. Ha can not recov er. The young lady was conveyed to her home, and whila the wounds are scions it is thought that there is some chanco of recovery. An old colored man witnessed the tragedy from a distance. He says that when they passed him they were quarreling, and after going a short dis tance further ho saw her start to run and heard her sciearn. A moment lat er he heard tbe shots. Three of them were fired at her, one missing and two taking effect, as above stated. The last two were aimed at bis own heart and missed the mark about one inch. Server is twenty-six years of age, is a clerk aud a quiet young naan, but cool and desperate when aroused. It is prepumed that unrequitted love, as a result of the opposition to their match, led him to commit the terrible deed. A negative answer flow her lips rendered him desperate. Mr. Fish’s Ghost. The mayor yesterday received a letter from Quarantine Inspector FEb, writ ten from the quarantine camp at the six mile crossing. The letter was writ ten in a trembling hand, or else the conveniences for correspondence are poor at that point. It told of Rfange things that are nightly hapflpning np there among the and their guards. Mr F id) haß seen a ghost. A ghoulish, terrible ghost, described as being about eight feet tall and very broad across the shoulders, with ape culiarly modeled head and shoulders. The ghost has been seen twice or three times by both Mr. Fish and his broth er guardsmen and they all substan tiate the 6tory as told by Mr. Fish in this letter to the mayor. The 'matter was laid before the board of health yos terday aud steps were taken to look in to tho matter. Last night Chief of Police Dart held a long consultation with the mayor and then set out to the camp to spend the night there with a companion in order to investigate the case. This is the first ghost story of this sort, in real life, with which the Morning Nows has had to regale its readers, and it is probable that Chief Hart has never had such a one to deal* with in his official capacity either. It is said, however, that there are old legends in unwritten record which accredit such appartitions to that neigh borhood in days long since gone by, but it is only the old-rime inhabitants who are in possession of the facts in the case. Mayor Dunn says he be lieves there are a great many kinds of ghosts, just as there are a great many kinds of snakes, hut he shall see to it that this particular ghost is captured if possible. Mr. Fish has sent in fora double barreled shot gun, aud says ha meanß to try the virtus of a cold lead analysis of the spook and find out its inorganic density if possible.—[Bruns wick, Morning News.

Abram McAdams, one of the wealthiest farmers in fliis county, is making arrangements to enter the ministry. This determination on the part of Mr. Me Adam s was a great sur prise to his friends. There is a queer story in connection with it. Las' Thursday mornirg be started to Blake maa in company with a neighbor named Ira Boyce. When near a place called Harrer’s Draw, about four miles cast of Atwood, they saw a cloud shaped like a balloon and occu pied, apparently, by a woman, arise from the draw and float off toward the northwest. It went but a abort die* taDcc, when it turned and came to ward them. When about 200 yards distant and 100 feet in the air the bal loon suddenly dissolved and left the woman with long, floating hair, which completely covered her shoulders and reaohed to her waist, standing alone. She had one haud oat-6tretcbed toward McAdams as if beckoning him. The ghost like scene suddenly chang ed again, and in place of the woman stood a horse with a large pair of sa d dlebagß across his back, and by its side a man with hair worn rather long, and a black stovopipe hat on his head. He was dressed in clerical garb, and McAdams at once recognized him as the exact counterpart of bis uncle, a v irginia circuit rider. This appartition also turned for a moment towaid the men. Then, re garding McAdams grarely, it beckon ed once, and mounting the horse, gal loped slowly off down the draw When Mr. McAdams called for his mail at Blakeman, he was handed a letter with a-deep black border, post marked at Three Bivers,A% A por tion of it rea^,: ‘Tour Uncle John wr* calledn; me yesterday. He va taken Pin prav ermceting the night previous, and on ly lived a shoit while. He was con scious to the last.
