A PEoPLE's TIcKET.-Elsewhere appears s
Peoples Ticket for municipal officers. 1t was
put into the hands of the APPEAL printers by
a well known DemOcrat-so there is no Rad
ical bulldozing about it. The ticket meets
with our cordial support. We do not believe
there is any man in Carson 50 well fitted for
| the position of Trustee at large as Deacon
| Rice. And that's Just what the aforesaid
| Democrat said The Deacon has had the
| largest kind of an experience in our home
affairs and we are for electing him anyhow
Mr.. Dunning, the gentleman named for the

Opment in front has the timber for making q
most acceptable City Father Mr.. D. A.
Bender is one of the best business men in
this end of Nevada He has been of ex-
cellent service in the Board of Town Trus-
tees. We are for continuing him there, for
we know we cannot do any better. So that's
our ticket, and do not doubt it viii be
elected.
May DAY.-We learn from some of the
little foil hat there is going to be a picnic
of the PIT iic school children this afternoon
They will 90 to some of the fields West of the
city and there set up their May-pole, elect
their Queen, dance their dances, devour their
sandwiches and their cookies, play their
kissing games and do their happiest to cele-
brate the day. Two hundred and odd years
ago when the months were kept by an old
fashioned calender, what is now the First
was then the Tenth of May and it was
doubtless celebrated as the first day of sum-
mer. Hence the joy of the occasion. If
there is any programme for to-days fun we do
not know it.
At the Episcopal Church on Sunday morn
ing Mr.. Foote preached very acceptable
sermon from Iasiah xviii, 10: For precept
must be upon precept, precept upon precept |
line upon line, here little, and there a
little. The preacher applied his text to the |
need of a constant and unvarying discipline |
of religious observance. 1t is to their culture |
and training that they who are educated owe |
their habits of thought and their knowledge |
Of books. The daily life and the habitual |
resort to prayer are indispensable to the |
Christian work and walk With many apt |
and excellent illustrations the preacher EN-
phasized the applicability of his text.

that the judge of the city criminal court is the

AN assault is misdemeanor, and Judge Fer

ask Tor jury trial and the case would be eerti-
