To the Veterans OF '6I IS We take this
occasion to return thanks to the soldiers of the
ate war for the soldierly bearing in which they
conducted themselves on ths reception of the
Veterans OF 1912. They at least imperiled sun
stroke from the intense heat Of the sun, besides
The march through the sulf1catng dust. JAMES
HAYES JOHN FINK aud A. DEGNER, who were
officers, are also entitled to much credit for the
interes: manifested by them in securing large
attendance, also for their willingness to rein-
quish all honors that might be attached IL Office
and dropping back into the ranks as som as it
was sscertained that the companies could not be
raised.
But,what else could we expect from those who
volunteered in '6l to speculate of a generous
Government at eleven dollars per month.

Thunder StOIms. The elements seems To
have let loose in spots during the past four or
I've days. On Sunday a heavy storm visited
this locality which soaked the ground complete
ly, and the lightning, which followed In quick
succession, purified if it did not modify the at
mosphere. The house Of Mrs. KIMMEL, of
Freedom township, was struck by lightning on
that occasion, without any serious results. But
the most singular Circumstance that we have
heard OF, was related to us by DR.. SEWARD. He
was called to visit patient at the residence Of
Mr.. DAVENPORT, about three miles south If thi =
place, and the lady Of the house informed him
that during the storm the door Of the house was
standing open when ball Of fire passed into the
roum and ignited fluid lamp that was standing
on the mantle, without doing any damage what
ever, not even lea ring the smell Of birthstone be-
hind. There was pair of sheep shears hanging
just above The lamp.
A terrific storm also visited Cincinnati on
Wednesday, flooding cellars, streets, alleys, &e.
doing considerable damage, which the Gasstts
SAYS is insignificant, however, when compared
with the benefits derived from the cleansing Of
the city. The Court house and one private res
'denOe was struck by lightning without doing
much damsEs.

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
Second Judicial District, ormsby County


MAhCd Term, lolU.
State of Nevada vs.. George Price
Charge, "wilfull murder J" charge
sustained and true bill of indictmen,
found.
State of Nevada VS.. Arson Johnson
and J. L. Johnson. Charge, "grand

ct ais. Charge, " conspiracy )" charge
ignored.
The last named case grew out of the
recent demonstration at Empire City, in
this county, against the Chinese labor
ers employed by the V. & 7. R. R., and
farmed out to the Mexican Mill Compa-
ny at Empire. 1t appeared in evidence
that an impression prevailed among the
white laborers at Empire that the rail-
road company was disposed to give pre-
ference to Chinese labor, out of which
grew much excitement and a spontaneous
gathering of some seventy five or hun
dred persons that there was an at
tempted organization that certain
parties volunteered to wal. upon
the Cinnamon and request them to
leave that subsequently large con.
course of people went to the grounds
where the Chinese had pitched their
tents that certain persons, none of
whom were identified by the witnesses
before the jury, tore down said tents /;
that no other act of violence was com
mitted that the Chinese we're at work
again on the second day thereafter.
The evidence was very indefinite, such
as, in the opinion of large majority of
the jurors, could not possibly warrant
conviction before the court of trial.
That the trial of cause of this nature
would be attended with great cost to
the county; increase the feeling of
prejudice already existing against the
l. to1 8
the parties charged. Under these cir.
cumstances the jury, while deprecating
any and all acts calculated in the least
to interfere with the rights of employees
and employers, could arrive at no other
conclusion than that of ignoring the
whole matter.
The fact that the Grand Jury, empan-
neled for the December term, 1869, made
the required examinations of county
officials, Jail, &C., and the further fact
that such hasty examinations are of lit
tie real utility, this jury have excused
themselves from acting npon other than
such business as has been brought d.
rectly to their notice.
In this connection they call the atten-
tion of the County Commissioners to
the pernicious practice of depositing
dead animals On vacant lots within the
limits Of Carson City. The vacant
ground directly west of the Race Track
and in the immediate vicinity of the
Acid Works is made q common recep-
ticle for dead animals to the detriment
Of health and great annoyance to those
living in the vicinity. The Grand Jury,
recommend the Commission.
ers to require the removal of all dead
outside the limits OF Carson
City, and to prosecute, under the com.
mon law, all persons creating a nuisance
BY leaving dead animals within the
limits of what is known as Carson City

DscIsIos AGAINST tbs SrArS PRIsT-
Ise ExPsRr.-A decision has been fled
in the Office of the Clerk Of the Supreme
Court adverse to the State Printing Ex'
pert, Mr.. John G. Lewis, who brought
action to compel the State Controller to
issue his warrant on the Treasury for
the sum of - dollars, the same being
charged by said Expert and allowed by
the Board of Examiners as due him un-
der the statute, as pay at eight dollars
per day, for all days, Sundays excepted,
since his appointment. The gist OF the
decision, we believe, is, that the expert
is only entitled to pay for service while
actually in performance of his duties as
one Of the Printing Board.

Reunion of Wisconsin Soldiers and
Sailors.

The proposed reunion OF all the
soldiers and sailors of the late war
from this State is to take place at
Milwaukee, commencing on Tuesday,
September Goth, next. A meeting
was held there on the 9th inst. to
provide for such reunion Of the army
boys in blue, at which Gen. Il. S.
Allen presided. A committee was
appointed. consisting of one soldier
from each county in the State, to
take the matter in charge. Among
the names we notice those of Gen.
Fairchild of Dane, Capt. Thomas of
OF Crawford, Gen. Calls of Grant,
Col, Ginty, of Chippewa, Capt. Jack
son of Green, Col. Bertram Of Jefler-
son, Corporal Schlosser of Richland,
Gen. Cobb of Iowa and Gen. Paine OF
Milwaukee. 1t is thought that this

to twenty thousand of Wisconsin's
heroes. From the encouragement
given to the proposed meeting from
all parts of the State, it will be a
grand affair.

On the Sd inst. the people of
Illinois, by a majority Of one humid
red thousand, adopted the new con-
stitution framed last winter. The

are new and if found wise and oper-
alive will be adopted by other States.
The leading provisions Of this new
constitution, as far as different from
the old, are briefly these: Special
legislation is practically prohibited !;
the power of the Legislature to in
crease the State debt, except for war
purposes, is limited at $25O,OOO q
two-thirds vote is required to over
rule the executive veto; counties
that have adopted the township or
ganization may dispense with the
same by vote Of the people the
for bidding Of the assumption by the
State Of the debt Of any corporation,
or the loaning of its credit to the
same; forbidding the irrevocable
grant Of special privileges the State
officers are hereafter to receive salaries
TO be fixed by law, which are not to
be increased during their term of
office, and all fees, costs and perquis-
ties shall be paid into the State
Treasury; county authorities shall
never levy tax exceeding IS cents
on the 500 of property, except to
pay existing Indebtedness, unless by
vote of the people the State, and
all municipal corporation, are pro-
hibited from levying taxes for or
making donations to any church, or
contributing in any way to sectar-
ian purpose no corporation shall be
created by special laws, or its char
acter extended, changed or amended
all such organizations shall here
after be created by general laws

idato It's stock or franchises with any
Othercorporation owning parallel or
competing line no railroad corpo-
ration shall issue stock or bonds, OK
cept for money received and applied

city, town, township, or other mu-
nicipality shall ever be subscriber to
the capital stock Of any railroad or
private corporations, or make dona-
toin to, or loan It's credit in aid Of

sentation is adopted for the first
time in the history of the republic,

watched by the entire nation.

otherwise, and protested their inno-

conduct. This is just exactly what
the people looked for.

War News.

The London Times has an article
on the Spanish question wherein it
says: at is still possible to look
calmly at the future. Ministers
must seek and impress France with
tho extravaganza of its pretensions
and susceptibilities in the absence of
real danger. Eventual war is only
too probable; yet such iealousies
have passed without collisions. as in
1910 and 1853. The balance of power
is undeserying thought. The real
issue is the possession of the left
bank of the Rhine, and the contest
would last until ode or the other be-
came exhausted. Civilization has
every thing to lose in such a struggle.
France is clearly in the wrong
Prussia denies the responsibility
which France ascribes to her.
France refuses to accept the dis
claimer, How can France object to
an arrangement which Spain consid,
ers within her own competence p
Neutral powers must act instantly,
unitedly and firmly to prevent a
collision"

expressed the opinion that general
Indian war is inevitable and that it
will result in the determination of

similar opinions in letter written

The Poor Indian as Y subject of

creature must pass away. When he

ing engineers, he must be RENTED

no such relaxations."
