Henry Watterson, of the Louisville COurierJournal, rises up in a double leaded leader and slams forth mani festo which: "The Conriey-Jouynaz, from this time on, will publish the local news regardless of the appeals of interested persons. Whatever is legitimate matter of news shall be given to the public. Those who get themselves into trouble need not ex pect this paper to suppress its reports, kindly as we may feel toward them personally" It is a little singular says the Virginia Enterprise, at least in journalism-that the editor of the Courfer-J0urndl should find it neces- sary to publish such a proclamation.

TROUBLES OF A PIUTE DOC
TOR.
A Little Learning Is q Dangerous
Thing.

Nearly twenty years ago, while a
resident of Silver City, we taught a
Piute Indian named Nose to write
his name. He was very proud OF
the accomplishment, and at his re-.
quest was given pencil and note
book In order that he might show
off among the members Of his tribe
and such white men as he CHANGED
to meet. He was taught to make
the letters after the fashion Of those
in print, but In defiance of rule
would always turn the letter rs" the
wrong way.
Seeing that Nose could write his
name the people OF his tribe began
TO regard him as man "wise be-
yond his day and generation" and
expected him to distinguish himself
In some way. Nose felt that he
must do something to keep up his
reputation and as 1t was not easy
for him to write anything more than
bis name, he set up rs doctor.
He has been practicing some years
and it would seem with much better
success than the majority of our
white physicians, as he has killed
only three men. But "the pitcher
that goes often to the well is broken
1t last" and at last poor Nose is In
. tight place and is liable to lose his
lifs--to be stoned to death by his
people.-Enterprise.
The Nose referred to Is the medi.
cine man who was tried by his tribe,
In this city, last Sunday, for an al
lodged attempt to poison Captain
Bob, the Piute chief.

A Busy Day at the Postofilce.

Yesterday being st. Valentines
Day, every young miss in town went
to the Postoffice bright and early,
and frequently throughout the day,
to see if there were "any letters" for
her. The air Of importance as
sumed by such as received missive
in reply was enough to make a monk
laugh; while the disappointed ones
fairly boiled over with indignation,
and went so far as to accuse the Post
master of having surreptitiously ex'
tracted them from the mail. Many
ladies-some Of them not so very
young, either--went to the office
every hour. 1t was busy day for

A Stiff Laid Out by SMALLPOX

Indian George, who lives at the
campoodie on the hill west of town,
says that the body found in the Seven
by Eight shaft last Monday after
noon, was that of Piute Chief from
Walker River, who died of smallpox
about year ago, while visiting his
two sisters in this city. If this is
true Messrs. McErlain, Kelly, Der
ham and Harris (who each took one
of the four half-dollars found IN the
right hand Of the corpse) should be
very careful not tn handle the coins
for some time, as some virus might
still remain on them which would
cause an epidemic of the loath-
some disease of which the Indian
died to soon prevail in our midst

AN ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY.
Claus Becker's Saloon Broken In.
to, But Nothing stolen.

About halfpast 1 o'clock last
Thursday morning brace of burg.
lars attempted to break into Claus
Becker's saloon, in this city, by re-
moving a pane of glass from the
window on Second street, but were
probably frightened away by Mr..
Becker. The saloon had been closed
about an hour before, Mr.. Becker re =.
naming in it about half an hour, to
straighten up the chairs, wash the
glasses, and count the cash. After
this was done he sat down to smoke
a cigarette before retiring for the
night. While thus occupied be heard
two men on the sidewalk speaking in
an undertone. He could not hear very
plainly, but finally heard one say
"Tm not fixed, so you must go in
first" This led him to believe that
his place was going to be broken
into, so he went up stairs to arm him
self. He soon returned, but could
then obtain no clue to the burglars.
Sitting down at the foot Of the stairs
for few minutes he soon heard a
scratching which he knew must be
due to extraordinary causes, but he
was unable to locate it. Being de-
termined to find out whence the noise
came he walked out to the front door,
some sixty feet from where he sat,
but before he had reached it he heard
the burglars running away. Coming
back to the window he then saw that
pane Of glass had been removed,
and the lower sash raised about a
foot. He supposes that, although
he was not heard, as he walked very
lightly and in his stockings, the
burglars must have got some suspi-
cion that he was around, and de-
camped just in time to escape cap
ture. As he told TINES reporter OF
the occurrence, Thursday, Mr.. Becker
held in his hand frightful-looking
butchers carving knife, and said, de-
terminedly, "If had only got a
sight at the scoundrels you may BET
your life l would have arrested one
If had been compelled to hack him
to pieces He thinks he knows the
parties. but refuses to give names.

AN OPEN LETTER,
In Which Our Lawmakers Are
Addressed "As Between Man and
Man -

Man,
FELLOW CITIzENs:-Some of you
are honest and incorruptible, some of
you are dishonest and corruptible.
Those Of you who are the former
will do your duty, and, therefore, re-
quire no counsel. Those of you who
are the latter will endeavor to make"
what you can out OF your present
position. If you MUST sell out to
the common enemy, do not sell
cheaply; the railroads are wealthy,
they have earned, and will in spite Of
all law, earn an enormous amount of
money; they can afford to pay you
we'll for your services in their behalf.
And be sure that you get your money
down; don't be put off with prom
Uses or limitations of future reward.
If you are, you will never get
neither money or place, and the rail-
road companies will consider you a
fool. You will therefore have proven
recreant to the trust reposed in you,
and incurred the merited contempt
Of your constituents, without having
received any equivalent; and when
you return home you will be pointed
at as one of those dirty ours who, hav.
ing pledged themselves to relieve the
State of an onerous burden, went to
Carson and betrayed the very men
who had proved your most steadfast
friends.

A FAT OFFICE.
Which is Likely to Become Va.
cant Soon.

A feeling antagonistic to Mr.. Do
vey's retention of the fat office of
Principal Of the preparatory depart
ment of the State University, is
growing up throughout the State.
1t appears that when the Office be-
came vacant by the election of Mr..
Sessions as Superintendent of Public
Instruction, Mr.. Dovcy was one of
the three Regents whose duty it is to
employ the teacher required at that
institution. As such he of course
considered his own application, and
thus, in fact, voted himself into
Office. This is considered as rather
questionable proceeding, and in d.
rect conflict with the spirit of section
4 of the act defining the duties Of
the Board of Regents, which reads
as follows:
No member of said Board shall be
interested, directly or indirectly, as
principal, co-partner, agent, or 9TH
erwise, in any contract or expendi-
ture created by the Board. or in the
profits or results thereof. ANY per-
son violating the provisions Of this
section shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and, upon conviction
thereof, shall be fined in any sum not
exceeding $4,000, to which may be
added imprisonment in the county
Jail for period not exceeding six
months.
The salary attached to the office of
Principal is S2,400 per annum, the
law having named that figure as the
maximum. 1t is very easy posi-
ton, the duties being comparatively
light. Several candidates for the
Office (Which is expected to be soon
made vacant by the resignation Of
Mr.. Dovey) are already in the field,
the chances being in favor Of Miss
Fl. X. Clapp, of Carson.

The Back Ledge Cut Into Yesterday
Reduction Works to be Built.
A fine ledge Of metal bearing
quartz was cut into. in tunnel No.2,
Of the William Pena mine, yester.
day, which promises TO develop into
q body of large proportions. The
ledge has been penetrated about five
feet, the ore improving in quality a.
exposed, and the assays running
from $ls rs to over $500. The lowest
assay next to the $ls rs one is 500.
This is the ledge which the company
have been running for, for some
months past. There is another ledge
called the "front" ledge) in the
William Penn ground the ore In
which is not nearly as rich as in
that just discovered. It is twelve
feet in width, however, and will all
pay for milling. The Superintend-
ent, Mr.. George Langridge, will
leave for San Francisco this evening,
to attend the annual meeting of the
company, and, while there, will en-.
deavor to make arrangements to
erect reduction works in this
city. He is confident that he can
place the mine on a prosperous ba-
sis, with the present showing of ore.
The residents of this city, who
have witnessed the pluck and conf
dence displayed by the company in
continuing at work when the great
majority Of mines in this district
suspended operations because of the
dull times, will be pleased indeed to
see the William Penn made a self.
