UNION DISTRICT July -.
Editor .ir9us:
The weather having somewhat cooled
down, 1 will venture few items at least
W hilst the heat, during last week, was
almost beyond human endurance oven
in this high latitude, we had no cases of
suustroke. We do not remember hay
ing experienced such intense heat for
many years. However. one great no D..
deeming quality on this chain of noun
tains are the pleasant nights. which are
appreciated, not only 10y our sturdy
mountainous, but by those who re-
treat from the heated cities, and seek
the pure invigorating mountain air.
HARD TIMES.
The cry of hsrd times still comes up
from every nook and corner. Our PEG
pie begin to wear long faces, and "mut-
tered cusses" arc becoming audible;
even some of our good Republican
brethren twist and squirm and make
wry faces at the prospect in the near
future
mon TAXKs.
The wonderful incI ease i'm rate Of tax
alton in Preston astounds our people.
The county levy having been increased
from 37I cents TO 50 cents on orch one
hundred dollars Of taxable property, and
the Door tax raised TO % cents, are un-
welcome facts TO an oppressed and bur
dened people. The comments of our
hard working tax payers are not COM
plimcntary to 1.-THE powers that be-"
They can not clearly comprehend the
meaning of tho wonderful increase. It
appears that the harder the times. the
hig the taxes, Certainly one-halr of
the people of Union district will not DO
able to pay tho enormous taxes of the
present year.
THE DoG TAX
is regarded by many as most wanton
outrage. The idea Of imposing dog tax
which will perhaps aggregate several
thousand dollars To reimburse loss sus
tanned for sheep killed by dogs, which
perhaps, does not amount to fifty doll
lars year, Is regarded by not few as
mons trous. The indications are that
when an attempt. is made to enforce tho
'dog law i'm Union district. that there'l
DC music I'm the air. a similar law was
introduced two years ago in certain
counties i'm Virginia, and 10 is needless
10 say that it proved n miserable failure
and was forth with repealed.
HARVEST.
The work of the harvest fell still goes
ON. Crops generally promise better
than was anticipated. For once there
will be no occasion TO import grain from
abroad, 1t is fortunate that such IL
the fact, as our people h.vo not the
"wherewith" to import any thing.

ATTENTION LADIES.

We desire to call the particular attention of
our lady readers to the new advertisement IN
der the head of Nevada State Fair. Mrs.
Temple, of Reno, is the sole agent in this
State for the celebrated Union Under Flannel
for ladies and children. These garments are
fast gaining in popularity, and only need to
be seen to be adopted by every lady who con-
suits her real comfort. She also has full
line of underwear and infants wardrobes;
likewise all sorts of furnishing goods desired.
Ladies attending the Fair will do well to call
and examine her stock, which is direct from
the East Printed circulars descriptive of the
Union Flannel and of the Dress Reform Cor
set Waist, sent by mail upon application to
Mrs. S. A. Temple, Virginia st. Reno New.

MORNING APPEAL
DISSOLUTION OF FRIENDSHIPS TIES.


About noon on Sunday two walters who
had been temporarily employed at the Orms-
by House created little sensation in that
locality. 1t appears that these men had for a
long time been the thickest of friends; in fact
their friendship for each other was so strong
that they jointly used one little valise in
which they kept their shirts, socks, collars,
&c. They were dismissed from their situa-
tions early Sunday morning, and immedl-
ately after receiving their congo they set about
''ginning up" to an unlimited extent. At IL
o'clock they graVitated toward the Ormsby
House, and then and there dispute arose
between them. Waiter No. l abused waiter
No. 2 fearfully. No did not resent the in
suits heaped upon him, but quietly picked up
the Joint valise and walked across the street
in the direction of Rails corner. No L fol-
lowed and snatched the valise from the
other, commencing, without ceremony, to
scatter the others linen all over the side
walk and street, accompanying each grab of
linen with strongly emphasized language.
This proceeding soon attracted large crowd,
who denounced the conduct of waiter No. L.
This drew out some more insulting language
from the infuriated waiter, when gentle
man to whom the fellows remarks were par
ticularly directed, planted solid blow upon
tho side of the formers head. This for the
time being cooled the ardor of the belligerent
waiter. Soon thereafter, however, he walked
over to the front door of the Ormsby House
and reassumed his fighting attitude, when
the gigantic stature of Phil. Holman, the
clerk of the house, doomed up and ordered the
fellow away This mandate not being obeyed
With the much wished for alacrity, Holman
placed his strong hands firmly in the small Of
the back of the drunken waiter and started
him off on double quick towards the Cap
toll grounds This was the last seen of him.
At late hour on Sunday night Constable
Sterne was making anxious inquiries for him,
which leaves us to believe that the drunken
fellow committed some other breach of the
peace

DEMOCRATIC RATIFICATION MEET
ING.

The alluring strains of the Carson Brass
Band, the drawing properties of cheerful
bonfire, and curiosity to hear what could be
said in justification for being Democrat, called
forth fair attendance last night at the Car
son Opera House. Were the MORNING AP-
PEAL a reckless Democratic organ instead of
being veracious Republican journal priced
in every happy household as Blessing with
capital b, we might say that the Opera
House was filed in every part, but anchored
on the Rock of Truth, as we are, we state
as fact that the theater was comfortably
filed Republicans always turn out to polit-
icaI meetings, and this was no exception to
the Republican rule. Hon. o. K. Stampley
presided, and the usual platform statuary was
on the stage in the shape of the sometimes
Barrister Deal dragged through a dry and
wearying lot of Democratic platitudes, re-
minding us of an old-fashioned fint-lock
musket, slow in discharge and harmless and
scattering in effect. His speech was a
labored effort throughout, and furnished
proof, were any wanting, of his untitness for
the high position he seeks. Genl. Kittrell
Everybody hereabout has heard of or about

the old story, first heard among the crags of
White Pine, and repeated four years ago with
minor variations. Kits posturing and his
American Speaker attitudes are familiar

excuse us for not describing them. His effort |
was simply frothy. After Kittrell came

APAINFUL ACCIDENT.
peace.

Yesterday morning on his way out of the
Mint building, Stephen Sancho began scuf-
flo with one of the watchmen, in a friendly
way, and in his endeavor to disengage him
self from his antagonist, he tripped and fell
down the stone steps of the building, fractur
ing the elbow joint of his right arm. The
injured man is suffering great pain. This is
another serious lesson against the all too
prevalent practice of skylarking among men.
This practice has been productive of more
bad blood, unhappiness and enmities than any
other we can think of at this moment, and
should be discontinued by intelligent men.
The temporary amusement that skylarklng
bout affords does not compensate the partlcl-
Dants for the chances they take to create a
life long enmity or permanent bodily injury.
DEPARTURE OF HoRsEMEN. Among the
horsemen who left here on Sunday evening
for the Reno races were Charles Douglas, w.
H. Overton, o. P. Reyes and George Treat
These gentlemen are all from San Francisco,
and made many lasting friends in this city by
their genial and pleasant ways. May their
lines always fall in pleasant places.
We learn from the very best of authority
that E. J. Qucky) Baldwin has purchased
Yanks place at Lake Tahoe, and that he will
make it the most attractive place of resort for
tourists on the lake shore He contemplates
erecting new hotel on the place, and the
weather permitting, will begin operations at
once.
FROM MONTANA. DR. Click, sonin-law of
Judge Wellington Stuart, arrived here few
DAYS since. We are pleased to note that the
Doctor is looking well, and that he will spend
the winter with us. He says that Dr. Grind
ley, former resident of Carson, is still at
Helena and very much taken with the place
The Carson Brass Band was nsed last night
to entice those who had nothing else to do
into the Opera House to hear "the nation, as
it is called" discussed by that eminent British
Columbian, Hon. J. r. Kittrell and other
members of the Lost Cause" flock.
YoM KIPPUR, or the jewish day of atone
ment, was observed yesterday by most OF the
Jews of Carson. All the business houses OF
our Jewish fellow citizens we're closed
VERY few Carsonites have so far attended
the Reno fair. We suppose that our citizens
have had a surfeit of horse racing-enough to
last them year.

THE STATE FAIR.

The first days attendance at the State Fair
over at Reno, as We learned from Carsonite
who returned last evening, was rather slim,
But as the week advances, and as the depart
ments fill, the number of visitors will I'M
doubtedly show an increase over the opening
day. The races of course were the principal
attraction, and our informant assures us that
they were as good as could have been de-
sired. Lottery" won two in three race,
mile heats, over mare (name fOrgotten)
from the Lucky Baldwin stables. Another
mile and repeat race between emma Skaggs
and "Bill Hazel" our veteran, was won by
the former One of the heats was run in
:47b, Emma winning by only a neck.
Pretty good time for old "Hazel." The two
mile dash between ''Lottery' and Carrie
D" was won by the latter in 3;4O5. Lottery
was the favorite in the pools, and the theory
of his defeat was that he had tired out in the
former race.

why IT SHOULD BECOME A LAW.

-
The Washington Star gives the fol-
lowing Is its reasons why the Silver
Bill should become n law:
We have reason to know that some
of our most cautious and astute fnan-
ciers, bankers, and dealers in govern
ment and other securities, are of the
opinion that the silver ILL in the shape
in which it passed Congress, is. OH the
whole, a pretty safe, practical bill. For
one thing, it will settle the prevailing
uncertainty which has been so depress-
ing to all business operations. 1t will,
also, it is believed, have a tendency to
arrest the steady depreciation Of values
which has had the effect to depress bus
mess, as business operators have never
felt safe in purchasing while prices
were still going down. Under the re-
strictions made by the Senate amend
ments, the amount of silver coined
yearly will be absorbed readily without
making any glut; certainly not for
some years. The present stock of sill.
e in the country is abont thirty-eight
millions. The amount coined yearly
under this bill will be about thirty-six
million. The customs will absorb one
hundred million annually. The only
quarter from which surplus silver may
be thrown upon us is Germany, which
has about seventy million to dispose of:
but this amount will he taken by India
in the course of a year, Judging
from the present demand. The coun'
try can readily hold one hundred mil
lion in circulation; especially should
Congress pass a bill retiring small cir
culating notes and gold coin under the
value of five dollars.
The danger has been that if Il meas
ure remonetizing silver had failed thi:
session, the movement in its behall
would have acquired such momentum
throughout the country that it would
have been impracticable to obtain any
thoughtful, practical legislation upor
the subject next session.
