A Reason why Farmers should Sow
Wheat.

The Winnemucea FIGURING Mills are
now crushing barley for horsefeed, hav-
ing ground all the wheat that can be
had in the country at this time. Usu-
ally at this season of the year flour
sacked and ready for purchasers has been
piled up high i'll the mill, but now the
case is different. All the -four on hand
has been disposed Of, and orders from
Eureka and other parts Of the State for
-four. can not be filed. Farmers
should make note OF this and sow
plenty of wheat this Spring, as the
demand for flour is certain to continue,
and they will find ready market for
-four in Eureka, Austin and other parts
of the State. None Of the old crop will
be left over this year, and unless the
railroad company give California mil
lers special rates on -four, farmers in
this part of the State viii have at least
two cents per pound freight from Sac
ranento to this place in their favor.
There is a probability that there will
be plenty of water for irrigating pur-
poses this season, and that raising
wheat will pay handsomely.

John Jurgens weighs some three hun
dred pounds avoirdupois, mere or less,
but generally more. He, like all other
large men, is noted for his good nature,
and rarely gets riled. This morning he
went to the Bonanza saloon, as is his
usual custom, and opened up. Two
strangers, whom he suspected of being
tramps, entered the saloon and asked
for the drinks. Mr.. Jurgens said he
was not proprietor and had no authori
ty to give away any drinks. One OF the
tramps. for such they proved to be,
said he had plenty of money, and run
ming his hand in his pocket, pulled out
two twenty dollar pieces and some sill
yer. Bottles and glasses were set out
on the bar, and the tramps took two
good horns, which they refused to pay
for, and as there was no oae else about
the saloon, demanded more whisky.
MIR. Jurgens refused 10 comply win
their request, and they then attempted
to get behind the bar. This aroused
the ire of the gigantic bartender and
scuffie ensued, in which the tramps
were completely vanquished One of
them he held in his vise-like grip, and
the other one ran through an open door
into back room, from which he es-
capped into the street, the most complete
picture of used-up man that has been
seen here for years, while the other one
will not be in condition to ride on the
brake-b beam Of freight car for week
or two.

The day following New Years
Day is Ladies' Day, and the girls
go out in full force to see each other
On the last night of the old year a
good many people sit up to welcome
in the new year, and the bells are
rung, guns fired and whistles blown.
At the stroke Of twelve, clear and
low came the chimes from old Trim
ity's steeple, now high, now low,
in lovely, broken notes; then a
great bell sounded startlingly on
the quiet night, and following it in
quick, clear peals bell after bell,
until it seemed as if a Pandemoni-
um was let loose. A moon, broad
and bright, lay in molten glory
upon the unbroken snow-drifts; the
sky was a luminous pearl, inlaid
with silvery stars. A light, sweet
wind blew in pure draughts to our
faces, and across the grand old river
came the bells, the bells. They
rang out the old year with its joys
and sorrows, the rang in the new
with its unknown cares, but upon
the bosom of a zephyr in it came in
joy and beautiful hope. A greeting
of peace and goodwill to all has it
borne, and a future in which good
deeds may be done, the burdens
lifted from weary hearts, and across
the shadows of life the light of
kind, true words thrown. A long,
a last farewell to the old year, we
have entered upon the new.

The Albany Law Journal calls RI
tention to an Important law relating
to the extra day in leap year, which
business men and OthersshOuldb bear
in mind. The Journal says: GAS leap
year is coming il is well TO know
what the law Of leap year is. The
law, il is said, takes no notice of
parts Of those days, and as the 10Th
of February, il takes no notice of the
whole day. The 2sth and 10Th are
computed as one day, For example:
Suppose note is dated on the 10Th
of February, 1880, payable one day
from date. Ordinarily it would be
payable on the 4th OF March, and so
is in leap year, and not on the Sd.
In Indiana the question has recent
ly come before the Supreme Court,
in respect TO service of process in
1876, the last leap year. The law
there requires ten days previous
service for the entry of Judgment.
In the case before the Court the
judgment was premature, if the 2Sth
and 10Th days of February were 10
be computed as one day. Tho Court
said: at must be regarded as set
tied i'm this State that the 2Sth and
29th days of February i'm every biz
sextile year must be computed and
considered in law as one day."
"The question is set at rest byOur
statute, ] II. S., m. p. 6l0, 5. 4,
which provides that the added day
of leap year and the day immedi-
ately preceding, If they shall occur
i'm amy period so to be computed,
shall be reckoned together as one
day. This embraces statutes, deeds,
verbal or written contracts, and all
public or private instruments"

Far down in the gray, lonely meadow,
Where the tangled grasses grow,
There babbles brook
In that hidden nook,
That forever doth sing and flow.
Fresh MOSES peep over the margin,
AS If craving dewy kiss,
And the waters coy
Leap up in joy,
And give the expected bliss.
The root of the flag tall and stately,
Is drinking the moisture deep;
While the nodding crest
In color dressed,
Is rocking itself to sleep.
A murky sky hanging over
A world of oppression and night,
When across the sky
Did a messenger fly,
With tidings of glorious right.
Just so 'mong the burdened people,
Came the exultant light of the press,
And did constrain
Superstition's reign,
And made their errors less.
With the motto that fright makes might, .
This triumphal flower blooms on,
And glitters anew,
With each centurys dew,
Above all creed and bond.
Aye the press, as q tower of strength,
Shall be known as the pride OF the land,
And a column raise
For the love and praise
OF COlum bias ambitious band.
And a column of f1uted shafts,
All carved by builders bold
By toll bought,
And in beauty wrought,
all time will hold.
And now the humble carrier
OF this costly flower of time,
Begs a simple cheer,
Ofthe passing year,
In this short, but kindly rhyme.

The Lenn-Yenr Pnrtr.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS all are antici-
pating a glowing account from your
pen of the recent leap-year party, ]
send you some observations made
by a ''looker-on." If they can be
introduced in your article, / shall
feel more than repaid for my trouble.
Among many pleasant incidents
of the leap-year party, / observed Il
couple in mask who introduced
themselves to the company as Mr..
and Mrs. Leapyear. When asked
their place of abode, the lady Mrs.
L. replied that "they came out Of
the past century, and, aware that
they were out of date, she feared
their presence was untimely and
out of season, but to prevent a mu-
tual shock to either epochs, past or
present, she deemed it advisable to
don a mask and appear in disguise;
and though she had been in the
house only short time, she was
convinced of its appropriateness, as
she was amazed at the rapid strides
her own sex had made during the
last century. AT every turn she
was introduced to ladies clad in
complete male attire, sporting heavy
boards and moustaches and wearing
No. boots" When urged to press
forward in the crowd and be pre-
sented to the host and hostess, with
a politeness belonging to the past,
this couple declined to disturb the
enjoyment of the dancers and con-
tented themselves with an exchange
of gracious smiles and bows vouch-
safed them by Mrs. III. through the
vestibule windows. When last
seen they were surrounded by a
group of girls and boys, who rather
curiously and unceremoniously
tampered with the old ladies head
dress, and hdeavored to peep be-
hind her mask, which she with
dignity eluded. Nervously striving
to maintain her incognito inviola-
BILE, she hurried her escort through
the crowd and we saw them no
more that night. r. V.

Let.sB BE Honest.
Our Country-Dresden, Tenn.


We do not in this article propose
! to go into the history of the creation
of our State debt, it is sufficient to
say that the bonds were issued by
the authority of the people of Ten
nesee, expressed through their
chosen representatives. Those same
representatives provided courts of
Justice, in which the State might
sue and be sued. Our legislators
have since repealed the law which
provided a forum into which our
creditors could go and seek redress
for the wrongs they claim has been
done them by the failure Of the
State to provide for the interest on
the bonds issued and put upon the
market by her representatives.
There is a large number of the most
intelligent men in the State who in
sist that these bonds are a legal and
binding obligation upon the people
of Tennessee. There is also a large
class of our citizens who insist that
these bonds were issued and sold in
violation of law, and that they are
under no moral or legal obligation
to pay the same, while others insist
that there are equities on either side
of the question, and that a COM
promise shall be effected.
This question is not and should
not be made a political question, but
it is question about which our peO-
Pile feel more interested at this time
than almost any other question that
could be raised, and it will be the is
sue in every future canvass in Ten
nessee until it is finally settled in
some way. The Democratic party
in this State is largely in the majori-
ty over all other parties, and as they
are in power, will be held response
BILE for all time to come for what ev-
er disposition may be made of the
question,
In view of these facts we wonld
suggest that the Democratic party
agree upon some terms of COM
promise upon which every Democrat
in the State can unite, and would
suggest as q basis for this eompro-
mise that the next Democratic plat
form declare in favor of submitting
the questions of law involved in the
creation of our State debt for intern
al improvements to the Supreme
Court of our State. Weare satisfied
that the holders of our bonds would
readily accept such terms Of settle
mept as those. The court will be
composed of IeaneSsee0as, men Sc
lected by the people an account of
their ability and learning. Now we
ask you seriously to reflect upon this
proposition. If the holders of these
bonds are willing to allow you to
select your own court, composed of
your neighbors and friends, to settle
this dispute, does not honesty de-
mand that you should yield this
much.

Who are the NihiIIsls.
London Truth.

The Nihilists are a small but
fanatical section of the Russian COM
munity. All told, they do not pro-
baby number above two or three
thousand persons. But they are
powerful owing to the apathetic in
difference of the middle and upper
classes to attacks upon the Govern
ment. This is not so much because
there is any widespread feeling i'm
favor of constitutional rule, but rath-
er because the Emperor is under the
influence of a clique of friends, who
are thoroughly corrupt themselves,
and who, consequently, are obliged
to wink at corruption in others. In
a country such as Russia, a weak
and gOod-natured despot is a far
worse ruler than firm, determined
man like the late Emperor Nicholas.
Alexander has always been a pup
pet in the hands of his personal en-
tOudge, and this encourage is defest-
ed. If he would break with his per-
sOnal friends, cali to his councils a
few good administrators, and allow
more local self-gOvernment i'm the
provinces, the Nihilists would soon
be hunted down. But so long as
behind the Ministers there is band
of all-powerful favOrites, who in
reality rule, things will go from bad
to worse.
ONE WAY TO DEAL WITH THEM.
Were | the Emperor of Russia /
should lay hands ON some two or
three dozen pers0nsnotOriously con-
nected with the Nihilists, and re-
tain them as hostages. They would
be comfortably looked after I'm
prison, but on any attempt being
made on my life, or on the life Of
any Government employee, should
hang two or three Of them. This
Le.r tdLiOnis would possibly restrain
the ardor of their friends. A plan
somewhat similar to this was adopt
ed by Frederick the Great. When
ever a Catholic Power imprisoned
one of his subjects, or deprived them
of their goods, he sent a Jesuit to
prison, and made him pay for what
had been taken from the Prussian.

NO Chance for sherman,

Let us apply the traditions OF the
fathers to the Sherman boom. IL
seems to be the unwritten law of
the republic that the head of the
Treasury Department shall always
be a candidate for President, but
that he shall never be elected. The
only nomination we can call among
all the candidates Is that Of William
ii. Crawford, of Georgia, who was
Secretary Of the Treasury from 1877
to 1925, under Monroe. He was
nominated by the Democrats i'm
1926, but was defeated i'm the House
by John Quincy Adams. Before
and since his time the Treasury
Department has beer looked upon
as q stepping-stOne TO the Presi-
dehcy, hut 1t has never served In
that capacity. q
