there Is "a cat in the meal tub" some
where In connection with this affair,
but from what l have seen of Messrs.
McClinton aud Varian, l do not think
they would report favorably on any
proposition which bore the least SEM
blance Of a swindle.
Mr.. Cleveland gave notice Of a bill
to fix the northern boundary OF White
Pine county. and to annex Ruby Val
ley thereto, but If the bill Is ever intro
duced (Which is improbablel Senator
Moore will get on the war path.
Mr.. Wilson of Lincoln, and Mr.. Nc
Beth of White Pine, both gave notices
of bills to locate the State University
ut Panaca IA little Mormon town In
Meadow valley, near Ploche), and at
Treasure City, respectively. These
notices were intended rs a shot at Mr..
McBeth's bill for the removal of the
county seat to, and the location Of the
State University at, Winnemucca.
Mr.. Walter gave notice of a bill to
empower the State Treasurer to EN-.
ploy a deputy. AS Mr.. Schooling has
promised to give me the position, Mr..
Coyle and myself are going to lobby
the bill through.
The bill of Senator Moore to provide
for the government OF the State Pris-
on. was ordered printed. believe Its
provisions propose to take the manage.
ment Of the prison out Of tho hands OF
tho Lieutenant Governor, and confer
1t on the Board of State Prison Com.
missioners, who shall be empowered
to appoint a Warden. Which was
about all the business of any great Inn
portance transacted in the Senate.
In the House, the only business of
moment was the notice of a bill by
Mr.. Wallace, to change the boundary
of Lincoln county.
Both Houses adjourned BY II o'clock
for which | felt very thankful, for the
atmosphere of the legislative chambers
particularly the Senate-is enough
to kill the Oldest man in the country.
They are heated by hot air, the doors
are Kept constantly closed, and there
Is no: the least ventilation except that
which results from the opening and
closing of the doors. 1t soine Senator
would introduce n resolution empow-
ering the Sergeant-at-Arms to employ
a man to put In q giant powder blast
and blow out one OF the windows, he
would prevent the occurrence Of sew
eral funerals, and save the washing OF
a good many pocket-handkerchiefs,
and the purchase Of u large amount OF
bronchial troches." l suggest that
the man so appointed be known as the
Senatorial Blastlhler.
A member of the House has, after
much patient research, discovered an
other office which needs filling. 1t Is
that Of "postage-stamp lickor." Ii
the office Is created, 1t Is proposed to
confer it on some lady addicted to
chewing gum.
That Double
On Toby Green Is not such an extra
ordinary successful one. In stating
what / did, l only stated the truth. l
have no desire to injure the business
Of any one. and wrote as I did more
for the fun OF the thing than anything
else, and while considering 1t a too
tritling matter to ever mention In a
newspaper, since the gentleman has
published his card, l owe 1t to myself
to state the facts, as n bar to any impu-
tation of Justification on my part. The
facts are simply these: I vas engaged
writing In the room Of a guest Of the
house, when the drinks five In ally
were ordered, aud when the boy
brought them lie demanded 90 so in
payment. The bar-keeper now ex-
plains that he Is not In the habit Of
charging double price when drinks are
sent to rooms, but as In this instance
the gentleman ordering, seemed to be
in a hurry, and he was quite busy, he
thought he would make him pay for
his hurry, which Is all | have got to
say, aud I hope you and your readers
will excuse me for occupying your
columns with so unimportant a matter.
Spectators.
Among the lookers-on In Carson are
Surveyor General E. S. Davis, who
shakes hands with all the "boys,"
winks over his left shoulder, and. as is
usual with him, keeps his mouth shut.
Stephen L. Gage. Esq, reputed ''con-
nublator" for the c. P. r. r., who
slides around in an easy manner, with,
/ suppose, an eye single on any little
''caiarrapins" In the way of reduction
of freights and fares. Gen. Thomas
H. Williams was slipping around yes.
and to-day, looking kind OF
sleepy, but with eyes wide open. F.
Harmon, ex-District Attorney Of
Lander county, is also here, and says
the "whlsky's mighty poor, d-n
Mr.. j. E. Rocker, partner of
Governor Bradley, Is here, Interview
ing the Governor as to the propriety Of
holding a grand rodeo In the Capitol
grounds. John II. Dennis. editor of
the Reese River Receiile, and sole pro.
prietor of the castor oil factory on
Hill, arrived this morning.
I believe he comes to Carson to ask the
privilege Of the Legislature of being
allowed to pay the amount Of the
"Rhodes defalcation," and also to en-
deayor to contract for the labor Of the
State Prison In his factory.
Carson Is very quiet. Neither
house has received official notification
Of the signing Of the Legislative Fund
bill. l believe it Is signed and will be
presented tomorrow, when the men,
bers and attaches can draw their nile
age. per diem, ETC.. and then once
again will the faces Of the landlords
be illuminated with radiant smiles,
and the gentle tinkle Of glasses will
