Lake Tahoe Ste0 naer.

Mr.. Henry Burke from Tahoe City was
in Carson yesterday, and gave us a de-
scription of the much talked of lake
steamer which was launched about the
first of December, and the building of
which was begun two years ago last
Summer, but relinquished before COM
pletion for want Of means on the part of
builder and original full owner (Mr.
Burke) to defray the great expense
which the construction of such a large
and elegant vesselinvolved. The steam
sr is now on the beautiful waters of the
lake in the hands of the carpenters who
are engaged constructing the cabin and
state rooms. In the course of a month
or six weeks the work of the carpenters
and of the painters who follow them,
will all be done and the craft complete
and ready for her destined work. Stand
ing high above the water-a three decker
she will appear with hull all white,
relieved by the green and black of her
guards and ratings. She will be manned
by six men exclusive of the cook; three
deck hands, engineer, fireman and the
captain, Mr.. Burke. She is $50 feet in
length and has 81 feet beam. Her length
will keep her steady and comparatively
nnmovea in case of storm. The smaller
steamers on the lake heretofore, the
l,r.est of which-the Governor Biaisdel
measured only 46x22, We're too short
to encounter the rolling of the waves
without violent rocking which has turned
many pleasure seeking party into
scene of horrid sea-sickness and temper
airy distress.
The new steamer contains a roomy
cabin 1Sx26, and 1G elegant double state
rooms with windows looking out on the
water, measuring 8 by feet. On the
forward deck is an open space capable Of
receiving eight or ten buggies or 4 loaded
teams which may be cleared OF baggage
at any moment and given up to the pas
.,engers for dancing. AS to the steamers
capacity for conveying passengers. she
can accommodate, we are assured, from
one hundred to one hundred and twenty
five comfortably.
She is provided with an engine Of sew
enty- five horse power, a boiler sixteen
feet long and 1ifty-four inches i'll diam
eter, and an eighteen inch cylinder. She
is guaranteed to make under ordinary
pressure between Il and IA miles per
hour and may be pressed to Il. Messrs.
burke x Shiverley (the latter Agent for
Wells, Fargo 4 Co. at Truckee) propose
to have the new steamer make the entire
round of the lake and return daily.
Passengers can be taken up and land
ed at any point of the lake shore desired.
The steamer will leave Tahoe City at 8
O'Clock every morning, stopping awhile
at various landings, to wit: the Hot
Springs hotel, Glenbrook, Rowland's
and at Emerald Bay. In order to allow
passengers to enjoy the beautiful scenery
at the latter place the steamer will stop
there one hour; when she will return
over the same route, getting back to
Tahoe at 6 o'clock in the evening, hav-
ing made between 80 and 100 miles, in
Guiding stops, in nine hours.

Does the Clearing of Land Diminish
the Rainfall?

Prof. Daniel Draper, Director of the
Central Park Meteorological Observa-
tory, takes occasion, in his annual re-
port, to correct q false impression very
generally entertained by the public
that the clearing of land diminishes the
fall of rain. Comparing the reports of
rainfalls from the year 1885 to 1872, it
appears that, while during this period
the average rainfull was At. 60 inches,
the average for the last three years of
this period was 47.O6 inches. The re-
suits appear fully to justify Prof. ORA
per's conclusion that the widespread
public impression that the clearing of
land diminishes the volume of rain is
not founded on fact" He adds, fur
thermore, that, although in the last
thirty-six years great changes have been
made in all those portions of the United
States intervening between the Missis-
sippi and the Atlantic Ocean, large sur
faces having been cleared of forests, and
their physical aspect essentially altered,
no corresponding diminution in the
mean amount of water that has fallen
can be traced. This opinion seems also
in accord with that of European me-
teorologists, who assert that the mean
rainfall OH the western portion of that
continent varies little, if at all, when pc
RODS of many years are considered.
These opinions seem deserving of es-
pecial consideration, owing to the fact
that the records upon which they are
based extend back to the year 1877, in
England 1741 in Scotland ; and 1871 in
Ireland while in Paris the annual rain
fall was not found to have altered in
one hundred and thirty years.

Interesting Legal Decision.

An important decision was rendered
recently in the Council Bluffs (Iowa)
District Court, which will be of interest
to the order of Odd Fellows. The case
wa substantially as follows Margaret
HollowayandR. Holloway, her husband,
were members of the Odd Fellows Pro-
tective Association of Council Bluffs.
In April last the wife died. One Kip
pie, of Keokuk, held a judgment against
both husband and wife, and garnisheed
the Association to which they belonged.
The Association made answer hat it
was indebted to Holloway in the sum of
$1,000, but moved to discharge the gar
nishee on the ground that it. was a life
insurance company, and, therefore, that
it came within the statute exempting
policies of life insurance from liability
for the debts of the insured. The suit
was finally carried up to the District
Court, and the Court sustained this view
of the case. In the language of the
decision, ga wife dying whose life was
insured, the creditor of the husband, If
the policy was in favor of the husband,
could not reach the proceeds of the pol
ICY" The las will be carried to the
Supreme Court of the State.

summer pangers.

The summer sunshine that clothes the earth
with luxuriant vegetation evaporates a vast
amount of crude, unwholesome moisture from its
surface, which, mingling with the air in the form
of mephitic gases, produces a variety of febrile
and other diseases. The body being debilitated
by the warmth of the season, and the pores being
wide open, gaping as it were for the seeds of sick
ness, any infectious principle that may exist in
the atmosphere is readily received into the sys-
tenn, when it bears baneful fruit in the shape o
maIarious fever, biliousness, diarrhea, dysentery,
collie, sickness at the stomach, headache, or new
GUS prostration. In order to prevent these vista
tions, put the system in a condition to resist all
morbid influences. Brace the inner man with
Stomach Bitters, the purest invigorant
and the most invincible antagonist Of all causes of
disease, whether present in the air we breathe
the water we drink, or connected with our mamma
of life or the nature Of our pursuits, that science
has yet given to the world. The experience o
twenty-five years has taught an observant people
that this unexceptional and agreeable tonic and
possesses preventive and remedial vir-
tues that are shared by no other medicine of the
present age. 1t has taught them also that while it
is infinitely more efficient than any of the poison
GUS alkaloids prescribed as tonics, it is absolutely
and entirely harmless,

JUST TAKEN HIS BrrrrRs.-We heard

JUST TAKEN HIS BIrTERs.-We heard
a seedy-looking individual with an
alarmingly red nose remark to O brother
soaker that he had "just had his bitters,
but he did not mind taking another
nip" His remark suggested a train of
reflection. How wal it, we asked our
selves, that the word "bitters" had
grown to be a synonym for gin, whisky,
rum, and other alcoholic s~timulants, to
which it was applied Unfortunately.
Bitters, we reasoned, suggested the idea
of a healthful tonic, not of a poisonous
stimulant ; something in~vigorating to
the system, not an alcoholic irritant, full
of fusel oil, producing present ~intoxica-
ton and ultimate insanity, idiocy, or
premature death. Moreover, our idea
of bitters was totally irreconcilable with
s'gin cocktails" "rum punches" and
&c brandy smashes," which, we are in
formed, are sweetened with sugar, and
rendered doubly injurious with essences
colored by means of mineral poison.
This was bitter-sweet with a vengeance.
We mentioned this problem to a friend.
He solved it by exclaiming "Why,
don't you know that most of these Bit
tiers advertised as remedies are only
drama in disguise. Topers know it, if
you do not. must make one excep-
ton, however," he added, and that's

How the Kickapoos Were Surprised.

A San Antonio, Texas, letter says !:
Col. McKenzie's raid over the border
upon the cattle-stealing Kickapoos was
carried out with 100 men of the Tenth
Cavalry. Each man was armed with a
Spencer rifle and O pair of cavalry re-
volvers. No sabers were taken by the
men. On the night of May IT, at about
ten O'Clock, the command crossed the
Rio Grande en- route for Santa Rosa,
distant about sixty miles from the river,
and situated in the district where the
Kickapoo and Lipan Indians, with their
Mexican accomplices, reside. Cautious
y proceeding, the party reached Santa
Rosa at an early hour on the morning of
the 18th. The detachment rushed at full
speed through the old Mexican town,
arousing the sleepers, and passed on to
theo other side, where, about a mile off,
they fell upon the Kickapoo camp.
There were probably a couple of dozen
Indians stirring in the camp as the
cavalry came up, but the surprise, for
tunately for the soldiers, was SO COM
plete that the r~edoubtable warriors, who
had not awakened, were unable to make
more than a feeble resistance. The
fight, such as it was, lasted about ten or
fifteen minutes. In that time two of
the attacking party were killed and two
MORALLY wounded. OF the Kickapoos
twenty-eight were killed and forty-two
were captured, among them women and
children. Many of the Indians escaped
to the mountains which were near by,
and the cavalry reiterated, taking their
prisoners with them. The Kickapoos
were in war-paint and feathers. One of
the warriors shot was a man of gigantic
stature, measuring even feet high.
Heavy silver ornaments were anoticeable
feature of his attire.

more careful investigation of its last annual state
ment, just published, warrants us in submitting
to the readers of the Times some further remarks
upon its rapid progress to popular favor and its
remarkably prosperous condition at the presenf
time.
Let us compare its condition ten years ago with
what it is ut the present time. In the years 1866
and 1868 it issued 1,n7 %policies; its income was
S125,672; dividends, S1,24; losses by death, $685.
COO; assets, $4s7 1888. Here was the business of two
years.
In 1872 it issued 1887 policies; its income was
S3,41S,75a.45; dividends, $685. Al II losses by death,
1881 1852; net assets, Ss.2O9, S25.o7.
This increase of business and assets in the short
period of ten years is worthy of specialnotice. An

Oats as a

A, Kentucky farmer writes: L have
seen frequent inquiries how to reclaim
old and worn lands. A quick and cheap
plan is to SOW the land in oats as early
as you can in the spring ; as soon as
ripe, pillow under, keep off the stock, and
you will have a tremendous fall growth
of oats. Plow them under in October,
or, if South, the first of November, then
sow rye, Craze in the spring and feed
down when ripe pillow under, and you
will see one of the finest rye fields you
ever saw ; or, if you wish, SOW clover ON
the rye the first spring ; it is very effect
ual and cheap. I saw the above tried in
Tennessee when I was a boy the land
was so worn that the oats did not exceed
knee-high; they were plowed under
when ripe, and again in November. The
land was planted in corn the next year
and made a large yield it was before
the days of clover. I have tried it re-
peatedly since with good success.

Care of Horses.

ALI horses must not be fed in the same

tice is self-evident. Yet it is constantly

kind.
