WARD ITEMS.
From the Weekly "Refex.'


Sheriff Kaum is now and has been for
some time absent from our county, and as
the terms of all his deputies have expired
by operation of law. we are at present
without a sheriff or any legal deputy in the
county. We understand that some legal
business Of considerable Importance has
accumulated, which can alone be trans
acted by Sheriff Raum or a legal deputy of
his. 1t is undoubtedly an oversight in
Ed, and the matter will be attended to as
soon as he is apprised Of ~litigants' d.
lemma.
Not to be outdone by Eureka, a Good
Templars Lodge is now in embryo in Ward.
We are not appraised of the leaders OF the
movement, but are informed that the in
fluence of this order is needed to supple
ment the good resolutions of January first,
and thereby add strength to those who are
staggering under the weight Of total abb
stinence.
A late arrival from Phoebe saws the Belle
Douglas troupe lost the road between this
place and Bristol-switched off toward
Pony Springs between Sidehill and Bristol.
They will doubtless strike the old Phoebe
road and get their bearings again after ar
irving in the metropolis of Southeastern
Nevada.
On Thursday some SIX or seven old resi-
dents left this place, pointed for San Fran
cisco District and Silver Reef, Utah. They
will stop at the first named place and see
what the prospects are. If favorably I'M
pressed, the whole party intend stopping
and grow up with the country, otherwise
Silver Reef will be their objective point.
John Ferris, of whom mention was made
in our last issue as having had his feet and
hands badly frozen, and was taken to
Hamilton for treatment, died at that place
Sunday morning last, at 2 O'Clock. A
short time after reaching Robinson he be-
came unconscious and remained in that
condition until he died.
A ton or more of trout from Sewer river,
Utah, arrived in Ward on Thursday. The
brethren did not find very ready sale for
their catch at rs cents per pound, and
probably took much less before the day
was over.
The mail service between Phoebe and
Mineral Park, we learn from the Record"
has been increased from a weekly to a tri-
weekly, and that between Phoebe and Hike
from a weekly to a semi-weekly mail.
Since our last issue the Martin White
Company has shipped ten bars of bullion.

There is a larger quantity of ice stored
along the Truckcc river than there has
ever been before.
During the year 1878 the Coroner OF
Storey county held ifty-one inquests. OF
these twenty-four were the result Of mining
accidents.
Ground, where not exposed freely to the
sun, at Gold Hill, has been frozen three
feet in depth. This is unprecedented of late
years ON the Comstock.
The Bodie Standard announced the other
day that brandy was a sure cure for pneu-
monia, and inside of six hour every able
bodied citizen was stricken down by the
terrible malady.
A man from the country got on a tear in
Sacramento Saturday, and for security
gave some one $500 to keep for him. After
the spree was over the man forgot to whom
he gave the money, and is busy looking
for it.
The Piute Chief, Natchez, accompanied
by two of his warriors, has returned to this
State. He talks freely on the situation as
regards the Indian tribes in California,
Nevada and Oregon, and expresses the be-
lief that there is no danger OF another war.
Storey county has S17,s32 80 surplus
money in the railroad, interest and sink

transfer it to the school fund. Assembly
man Prisk has introduced a bill authoriz-
ing them to do so.
About one-third Of the children of the

ton festival in Miners Union Hall. Some
children were there who had the measels.

On County Offices.

The Carson Tribune" says a we'll
known old citizen and member Of the pres
ent Legislature advocates a change in the
terms of State and county officials. He
proposes to make the term Of State officials
six years, and with Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, Controller, and in fact all
but Supreme Judges, no one to succeed
himself. The proposition is TO lergshen
the terms Of county official positions to
four years, with no second term. The first
named hold their Offices by Constitutional
limit, but relative to county Offices, a sim
pie Act Of the Legislature is all-sufiicient to
change the length OF the term. A County
Assessor seldom acquires a knowledge
Of his business the first year, and
not often during the second, but when
once competent, it is to the interest Of
the taxpayers that he be retained; the same
applies to the Office Of Sheriff, and in fact
every county official. We hope that such
a bill may pass both Houses. OF course it
could not apply to the present incumbents
Of county Offices, for the reason that no
law can be made retroactive, but by all
means let a serious consideration of this
very necessary reform be had,

THE INCORPORATION BILL.


EDIroR SENTINEL: From the reading of
the report of the own meeting held last
night, it might be presumed that / had
run off with the bill for incorporation
drawn by the Committee. Such was not
the case; / was at the Odd Fellows Lodge.
The Committee of which I was Chairman
reported a bill to the meeting held Mon
day evening, and after it was read, with
ont receiving it, or passing upon ii by
sections, or. as in courteous duty bound,
discharging the Committee. A rambling
debate began, some for one thing and some
for another, when some one-I think, Mr..
Davenport-moved to lay the bill on the
table, which was declared carried. Soon
thereafter an effort was made to take it up
to be read by sections, and when the vote
was taken, it being a bare majority, at my
suggestion, the Chair (Mr. Campbell),
ruled that it took a two-thirds vote to take
it from the table. Finding that they had
tied their own hands, a motion was made
to adjourn until Thursday evening.
The bill which the Committee had drawn
up was left on the table in the Court
house, and as it had not been received i
understood it to be the property Of the
Committee, and took charge of it; and
not feeling inclined to attend any more
meetings gotten up and controlled by those
opposed to any kind Of town government,
l concluded not to have anything more to
do with it in town meetings.
The evening paper says it is probable
something nearly like the charter passed at
the last session will be enacted.
The bill we drew is almost a literal copy,
about the only changes being the charging
Of boundaries, making all the officers cleo
tive, and the Recorder, Marshal and Clerk
salaried officers; requiring the Trustees to
act without pay. and only giving a salary
when it was thought the fees would be
larger. We fixed a limit to any indebted
ness, over 500 0 the same as the old bill,
and 4 limit to the taxes of one-half Of one
per cent. These are about the only changes
Of any Importance. A. ID. Rock.

Mnf,am Anderson.

Suppose she has walked 2,700 quarter
miles in as many quarter hours, what of
it? Who is the better forit?" These ques-
ions are asked by a practical reader who
has been pursuing the story of Madam An
derson's remarkable achievement. Madam
Anderson, for one, is the better for ito
the extent of several thousands of dollars.
We say nothing about her satisfaction of
having successfully accomplished what all
the wiseacres had pronounced in advance
an impossible feat, and what probably
would have been impossible to any other
woman now living; because our practical
reader would brush this aside as mere SEN
timental rubbish. But the dollars are a
tangible fact, and they speak for them
selves. She needed money, and she found
she could earn it a great deal faster in this
way than in any other that was open to
her. Who could be more practical That
is not all, however. The extraordinary
interest taken in her and her great walk by
the fashionable women of Brooklyn has
been shared, though of course in a less de-
gree, by the many thousands of women all
over the country, who have only read
about her and it in the newspapers. Few,
perhaps none, of these women will turn
professional pedestrians and seek to emu
late her exploits; but a large percentage
will do a great deal more open air walking
than they would otherwise have done, and
will be healthier and happier women for it.

Election for Acknowledgment.

The Phoebe "Record" is opposed to hold
ing a special election to fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the death of Mr.. Wash, aud
says: 1.-The County Commissioners re-
ceived the order last Tuesday, calling the
election on the 4th day OF March, 1879. BY
the time the returns would be made and
everything completed the Legislature will
have adjourned, and there is a useless ex-
pense Of perhaps nearly So, 900 for nothing.
1t appears to be the general desire Of the
citizens Of this county that no election
should be held, because, in the first place,
there is 10 political contest; second, a
member would not have time to arrive in
Carson and take his seat before the adj
%journnent Of the Legislature; aud, third,
the immense expense to the county with
on. any practical good resulting from it.

George Meeks was sick abed at Boone's
Landing, KY, when the recent very cold
weather began. There was hardly any
food in the house, and it became necessary
for Mrs. Meeks to go to a store several
miles distant for provisions. She started
out on foot. The snow was deep and the
cold intense. The husband became alarmed
when she did not return within a reason
able time, and went to search for her, not
outstanding his illness. He found her
frozen to death not far from home, with a
bag full Of flour beside her. Another sad
death by the cold was that of a negro
woman near Evansville, Ind. She was
very old Love a hundred, according to
her own belief. She lived alone in a
miserable cabin. In an efforr to keep
warm she piled a large quantity of light,
dry wood in the fireplace, and the flames
spread to the hut. She was slightly burned
in escaping, and then she froze TO death.

A Trying Ordeal.

We enjoyed ourselves hugely yesterday
watching a lady and a Chinaman endeavor-
ing to shake the dust from some article OF
wearing apparel, at one of our hotels. We
wouldn't have been in Johns place for any
consideration, and the poor fellow looked
as if he wished himself in any other local
ity under the sun. 1t tries ones temper to
shake dusty clothes, and when that temper
is none Of the best, it is mo healthy to be

An accident occurred on Ruby Hin yes
terday, by which the three-months old
child of II. Radclif was badly scalded.
Mrs. Radcliff was holding the boy in her
arms, when their eldest daughter entered
with a cup Of tea. Mrs. Radcliff turning
suddenly, struck the girls arm, and the
contents OF the cup were emptied on the
face, neck and shoulders of the child. DR..
Rockman was sent for and afforded such
relief to the little sufferer as was possible.

The Legislature, says the Typo Sun,
did a wise thing when it passed the me-
mortal instructing our Senators to vote for
the bill now pending in Congress forbid
ding discrimination in fares and freights
ON the railroads. The Legislature could
only afford partial relief to our people in
the premises, but Congress has the power
to cure the evil radically. This is a step
in the right direction, and one hat will
eventually lead to good results. Now let
the Legislature finish the work it has so
nobly begun, and pass an act regulating
fares and freights on our local railroads.

A KIentomnniac.

Mrs. Emma J.. Parsons was caught steal
ing in a Rochester dry goods store. She
was wealthy. The Justice before whom
she was taken was asked to promise that, if
she would plead guilty, he would not in
fiict any punishment; but he refused to
make any pledge, and the case was tried
before a jury. Mrs. Parsons was defended
as a kleptomaniac. Her brother swore
that her strongest characteristic was Gu
pidity, although he would not admit that
she had ever before stolen anything. The
lawyers argument to the jury was that
Mrs. Parsons, being so rich that she had
no need to steal, and so respectable that
crime was abhorrent to her, she could not
have intended to do wrong,.and must have
been actuated by a mani that made her
morally irresponsible. Pie jury's verdict
was: 1--WE acquit the prisoner of any in
tention to steal" This case should not
embolden wealthy women to indulge in
shoplifting, for few juries could be depend
ed on 10 FOLEY the Rochester example and
as for poor women, the plea of kleptomania
would be of no avail for them.
