Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1873-08-19

CHA:1PIoNsHIP.- After the swim, Sun
day before last, there was to have been
a general free fight between the Carson
and Empire gamins. But it was deter
mined as of old among the Romans, to
decide the quarrel of the opposed COM
munities by champions selected from
either side. Young Dutch Nick took
the ring for Empire and Albert Jones for
Carson. They fought and Jones got
away with his antagonist. His victory,
however, did not amount to much in the
way of glory, for young Dutch Nick's
sister pitched into him and drove him, at
a lively gait, beyond the town away off
into the sagebrush towards Carson.

DoNATIoN.-The owners of the wood
which was partly consumed in the late
fire at the Yerington hume, yesterday,
gave to each of the fire companies here
$50. There was some comment on the
street, as to the amount of the donation,
especially among the Warrens, whose
engine was considerably damaged at the
fire 1t was taken into consideration
by the more thoughtful, however, that
the wood men have lost heavily; or else
they might have donated more literally.

men of the cactus plant which he keeps
in an earthen flower pot and has not wa
tered since last February. Strange
plant, surely, that can grow and flower
luxurianly in this atmosphere without
water Yet, they say that the best way
to treat the cactus, after its Towering
season is over, is to take it out of soil
altogether and expose it for awhile,
roots and all, under the blazing sun on

EXPENSES OF THE CARSON PUBLIC
ScHooL.-A little statistical information
- this subject may not be out OF order,
or uninteresting to the public. The sal
ary of the Principal is 50, 900 per annum;
and of each Of the four subordinate
teachers 500 monthly, for ten months
in the year. The ianitor is paid $500
wear: and one of the Board of Trustees
gets SO a month, or Sl20 a year. for
keeping the books of said Board. This
foots up monthly cost of $685., exclu-
sive of incidental expenses for books,
and for fuel in the cold season, which
will be an additional heavy expense ow-
ing to the probable high price of wood

Winters supply now, at 81 a cord, rather
than wait and be forced. maybe, to buy
at double that price? There are about
500 in the treasury, out of which to
pay the expenses of the school for two
months of the incoming season, from
September till November, when the
school taxes will be gathered and ready

drag, but the temporary embarrassment
will be obviated without trouble. |
Whether. under the present regime, the |
tax receipts (Which promise to be larger |

APoLoGY.-In referring to the first
appearance OF horse fly nets, Sunday,
we went astray in saying that one of the
articles appeared on one of Doc Benton
mustangs in the ice cart. We should
have made our observations with more
astu.eness. 1t was not an ice cart but a

CONCEALED water. The horses were two
American bays that feel their oats and
had to be held violently in check by

for purchasers. Each of the irrepressib!e
bays had on an ornamental skin preserv-

IAx1M Gas Enthusiastically after

NAx1M Gas WoEEs.-Testerday after
noon between FIVE and six o'clock, IN
der escort CT the engineer III chief OF
these works Dick Mills), We went to see
what they look like and to solve the
seeming mystery of the operation fo1
those Of our readers who may wonder.
perhaps, how the gas is manufactured
and distributed. The process is exceed
ingly simple, and may be described in a
few sentences. There is q tank having
the capacity to hold two hundred and
fifty gallons, kept underground and
nearly full of gasoline. Upon this body
CT crude petroleum (another name for
gasoiine1 is pumped an air pressure Of
twenty-five pounds to the square inch.
The gasoline is thus forced through a
pipe into three hot retJrts from which,
converted by the heat into gas, il is re-
ceived into a reservoir, and thence
passed, for use, into the outleadins
pipes. The Maxim Company's machine
can supply two thousand burners; but
they have orders for only between three
and four hundred. The gas generated
lately burns beautifully, which is due in
great measure to the skill and almost
tender care OF Dick Mills. who spends
an hour at the works every day to keep
the machinery oily and bright. The ex-
pertinent of manufacturing gas from gas
oline in Gold Hill has proved a failure
and has been abandoned. In Carson in
every respect a success, better now than
ever, and the company deserve to be
materially encouraged in their enter
prise.

entering rather back of the apex Of the
crown. He was seen to throw up his
| hand after the first shot as he fell to his
knees, and heard to exclaim, "Don't kin
me !" when the second shot put an end
to his life. He died without a struggle,
and peaceful smile was on his lips, as
though he was but asleep.
In stripping him his wallet, containing
fifty dollars, fell out of a pocket and was
not observed by the Indians. 1t was
found by Sergeant A. Rise, Battery K,
Fourth Artillery, together with his keys,
and was handed over to DR.. Eldery,
medical director of the expedition.
Schonchin was the one who attacked
Meacham, who, it seems, made like the
Doctor, futile effort to escape. The first
shot crashed through his arm and dis
abled it, and probably knocked him down
when another bullet shaved away the
eyebrow and cut the ridge of the nose,
wounding the cartilage and bone very
seriously. Another ball struck him at
the lower lobe of the left ear, gancing
along the skull and emerging some three
inches above. An attempt was made to
scalp him, but further than cutting long
and ugly cash partly around his head, the
fiends did not succeed. He was taken to
the hospital, where every attention was
paid him, and at the time of writing,
(midnight) there is hope that he will sur
vive. Aside from the injuries stated, the
left hand was badly hurt, bullet having
shattered the torefnger.
We now turn to the living, and consid-
er the almost miraculous escape of Mr..
Dyar. AS | before stated, he was stand
ing by his horse when the first cap ex-
ploded. Seeing the treachery, he sprang
like deer for the rocks, in the direction
Of the camp, closely followed by Hooka
Jim, who fired two shots at him. Dyar
turned and presented his derringor at
the savage, who bounded away in the
opposite direction and Dyar resumed his
run for camp, which he reached in safety,
falling once on his way and exploding
one charge Of his weapon.
Riddle and wife ran for their lives and
escaped unhurt, with the exception Of the
woman, who was knocked down and
bruised by her people. They were too
busy in securing the Commission at first,
and thus they escaped. Stretchers were
at once sent for and the bodies Of the dead
and living brought into camp.
The very latest news from the Lava
Bed is to be found in the Sacramento
Record of April 10th, and is to the fol-
lowing effect:
The Modoc intelligence is to the effect
that the army was to move against Cap
tain Jack in his lava bed fortress. The
klamath reservation and other Indians
are watching the result with intense in
terest, and it is understood that if the
Modocs are again victorious all the In
dians will join them in general war.
They have already threatened to this ef-
feet.
Dispatches received by General Scho-
field from General Gillem yesterday an
nounce that he should close around the
Modocs to-day, and if possible destroy
every one of them. These dispatches al
so announce that Lieutenant Sherwood
died of his wounds at / o'clock yesterday

TIE BACK PAY.
1t is reported that Senator Schurz may
gress who positively refused to receive
the back pay. Mr.. Schurz stated that
he regarded the pay of Congressman as
insufficient, and would have been willing
to favor he prospective increase if he
had thought it would have the effect to
put an end to corruption. He does not
refuse the increase, and in view Of his re-
ceiving $500 each for patriotic political
speeches the submission to clumor for the
sake Of asking capital is rather thin de-
vice. OF the Maryland Senators Vickers
who voted for the conference report, has
received his back pay. OF the Maryland
representatives in the House, Mr. Mer-
rick as is known has refused to accept it.
Messrs. Archer, Richie and Hambleton
have drawn their money. Senator Ham
ilton and Representative Swami have not,
it is believed, indicated their purpose.
The term of service of Senator Vickers
and Representatives Hambleton, Richie
and Merrick expired with the last Con-

is alleged that he resigned because the
rules were-not carried out in accordance
with his views, and the n. Y. Tribune is
violent in its denunciation of the Presi-
dent. This is rather ungrateful on the
part of the civil reformers, for it is a well
known fact that the President has incur
red the opposition of numbers of Repub-
licans for adhering firmly to the theories
Of Mr. Curtis regarding competitive ex-
aminations, etc. 1t will soon transpire
beyond all question that Mr.. Curtis does
not retire from the Board because the
business is not done to his liking, but
that failing health and the absolute neces-
sity for his abstainiug from all mental
exertion is the true cause of his resigna-
ton. Your correspondent can speak
from certain knowledge in saying that
ill health is the cause of his resignation,
as it has been the cause of his breaking
all his lecturing engagements for the sea-
son at a great sacrifice of money and the
growing fame of one of the first lecturers

CRUEL NURSERY LESSONS.

We have sometimes wondered to see a
helpless kitten or puppy given up to be tor
tured in nursery, without even an attempt
to explain to the children the pain they are
inhicting, and the duties they owe to
the helpless. Thus, what might form the
most beautiful trait in child's character is
changed to deformity. Instead Of learn
lug from the kitten generous consideration
for weakness and helplessness, the little one
receives in the nursery the first lesson of
brutal tyranny.
No parents ought to allow a child the pos
session of any living creatures with whose
comfort and welfare they do not charge
themselves. Children are not naturally cru
ell; they arc only ignorant and inconsiderate
They have no conception Of the pain they
often inhict, even by their loving caresses.
A boy, too, has in him sort of wild, uncul-
tured love Of domination and sense of power,
which are no sins, but may be made the
foundations of great virtue, if he be early
taught that his strength and power of con-
troll are given him for the protection of weak
ness, and not for the oppression of it. A boy
can use the same faculties in defending and
helping poor animals that he can in oppress-
ing them; and the pets of the nursery are
valuable for teaching that very lesson.-MrS
II. B. Stope.
