HITLER AND YON.

The up-looking observer observes as he
progresses, with head erect and eyes open,
under the porch of the County Building that
the floor of that out rigging has hole i'll its
door-a very dangerous man trap, we should
say. The danger is two fold. There is the
danger of some holder of fat office, State,
County or Federal, crashing through there
and MASKING some unsuspecting fellow citi-
zen passing beneath. And then there is the
other danger of the county having to pay for
the breakage and smashage consequent upon
such downfall AS to the hurt that might
come upon the person who should attempt to
reach the sidewalk by that very direct route,
of course that's his own lookout. Either
mind that fracture, oh county fathers, or
erect ight-ho there.

are conducive to health, no doubt, but they

Among the distinguished visitors to the
Capital yesterday was Judge Belknap of
Virginia and Hon. James Small of Lake

Senator looks not at all shortened of his
towering proportions.
The thirsty wsYfarer still finds waiting for
him the ebullition of uxuriance which down
drawn from a soda water machine wakes the
languid frame to newer and fresher exist
ence And that's what makes him linger SO
fondly within the gurgling sound of Thaxters
pleasant fountain.

TO THE GENOESE.

The MORNING APPEAL sends greeting to
the men and brethren of Genoa Also, we
come among you in the missionary way
spreading light and revealing the ways of
truth 1t is the neighborly thing thus to
address a word OF greeting to those who abide
over against us. We expect to exchange
these greetings with our sister city of the val
lev. We would tell your news to the world
and be your medium of intercc airse with the
outside barbarians of this life. Send us,
then, oh brethren of Genoa, the outlines of
your daily life and We will make place for
your diurnal histories. There are your loves
which should be immortal and immortalized
there are your struggles which should be re-
corded also, your marriages, your births,
your deaths and your goings on i'll the crazy
and criminal way. So the MORNING APPEAL
greets you and exteI- 4 right hand of
neighborship. Here anu u there is ex-
perienced the love which is 81 true that its
course is never smooth. Out of the incidents
and accidents of this small drama of life are
to be framed the warp and wool of such mar
ratives as make men and women assume the
character and attitude of heroes and heroines.
The Genoese have ever been brave and low
ing people 1t would be proud privilege to
be their historian. Let, then, committee
be appointed to select the notablest scribe of
the village and make him the journalistic
medium of your intimacies He shall have
full swing of these modest columns. He
shall command daily space herein, among the
veracities OF the times, if he will. Thus shall
Genoa find an organ-not alone political, nor
vet religious or educational, but social and of
the kinship of letters. And now, if the au-
dience please, we will once more confess that
the MORNING APPEAL is sent by mail to the
yearly subscriber at the merely nominal price
of eight dollars year Ito be paid invariably
in advance). We blush as We make confes-
sion Of this preposterous lowness of figure.
As to six months--pshaw ! it is too absurd
1t is really-well we are too confused 1t is
only, only, only four dollars Also in ad-
v&nce). Did anybody in all this world ever
see, or hear of, anything half so absurd9 And
then, when we turn States evidence against
our own self, as it were, and make the fact
known that we mail the MORNING APPEAL to
our subscribers at the mere nothing of 81 per
quarter Invariably in advance), we seem to
feel choking sensation as after having ex-
posed to the rude gaze of the multitude the
very inner cells of our Utmost nature. 1t is
needless to reiterate with what cheerfulness
we will reproduce any tender lines of descrip-
tive Ganoese poetry; how eager we are to
print the news that cunes waited down
through the valleys and canyons of Douglas
County and how our heart warns toward
he residents of Mottville, of Sheridan, of
Walker River, of Jacks Valley and of all the
'egion round about. Our missionary will
proclaim our desires and purposes. Remem-
Der our terms, inva--but we trust No, |
We do not trust but the kindly Genoese
mind will understand without further ex-
planning.

THE PIONEER PICNIC.

The great posters of the Pioneers Picnic
on next Saturday have already made their
appearance on the walls and deadwalls of our
| houses, barns, saloons and fences. It will be
grand affair. Memory will bring back the
feeling of having seen some of those weather
beaten old hands before. Reunions will take
place awakening long forgotten events and
associations, and then two old Silurians of
the days of diggings and land-locked scurvy,
red flannel shirts and onions at dollar and
half pound, will partake of the flowing
bowl. A story will be told of crevicing on
Ousley's Bar; and then there will be- parSi-
cipation in the genial glass. An anecdote
relating to pack-train on Goodyear Hill will
suggest moments brief worship at the shrine
of Bacchus A tramp over SCOTS Mountain
and a skrmish with the Klamath Indians
will suggest at least two stout horns of the
vintage Of 1902 And SO these old chaps will
60 it, all inspired with the most delightful re-
membranes, and all alive with the most gen.
ial sentiments toward one another and the
rest of mankind 1t will take place at
Bowers Mansion amid the music of sweet
Instruments and the buzz of soft voices the
singing of songs and the patteriug of merry
dancers feet 1t will be good to be there,
and all are invited.

an advance of $50. AS the amount due to
Mau & Co. was only about $50, the agents
swindling request was not complied with, and
he departed. As no money was paid over
by Mr.. Ivancovich, it was impossible to arrest
the rascal.
