A PIoNEER GoNE.-On Monday last
wv. W.. Rice, an old resident of this
CITY, died at the ranch of Senator
Crawford, on Walker river. He had
been sick about a week. and the COM
plant which caused his death is not
known. He came here in 1889, and
for a long time run the livery stable on
Carson street, now owned by Doc.
Benton. He was formerly a resident
OF Forest City, Cal, and, like many
early settlers, experienced many
changes OF fortune-was a genial gen.
tle,man, and had many friends. Poor
Bill! he has gone where no troubles
will assail or changes aff1ict him. .
IMPRovEMENrs.- Colonel Rosser,
having made his son in law Johnny
Meder, a present of the building for
meriy occupied by him as a meat
market, the building is being repaired
and refitIed. Mr.. Meder has rented
part of it to a fruit merchant, the re-
mainder he intends fitting up as a
meat market and will shortly open it
in that business. Johnny is a good
steady young man and will no dOubt
do we'll in business. King street Is
beginning to look up. The removal
of the Justices Court may be set
down as the reason for the improve
ment.
SMoKE.-On Sunday night between
2 and 3 O'Clock, Constable Hodgkin-
son discovered the Magnolia Saloon
to be full of smoke, and rushed fran
tically to the quarters of Charley May
to procure the key. Charley turned
out, went to the saloon, searched all
around but failed to find any ire, and
is of the opinion that it was a ruse OF
Sans to get a cocktail. The room
was certainly full of smoke, but that
might have been blown into the key
hole by sam. and his companion.
Charley will, i'm the future. leave a
little bottle outside for the use of the
watch on deck.

the thermometer stood at IS degrees,
in the sun it was at 100 to 80 degrees
for two hours from that time. Shade
trees. whether standing or cut down,
were eagerly sought after. The skinny
ones had a grin on their faces AS the
obese members of the community
passed them, pointing ioyiully to the
pearly drops falling from their nasal
protuberances.
THE OTHER MAN.-Bob Fulstone
saws he wishes he did not look 80
much like the man who wanted to
and cOuldn't-foiks bother him so by
asking him the price OF the certificate.
He begs leave to request the other
man, who resembles him 81 much, to
change the style of his whiskers, to
straighten his hair and curl his teeth,
and not to keep on to come for to go
10 palm his shortcomings OFT onto a
fellow what is hinnOcent. 1t Is very
