Ruby City. He then joined the boom and

ings in specified time of certain dimensions.
He charged nothing fer lots in his town, but
he opened book of record and exacted fee

his lot. In this way Dick made raise of

SwILL MILK IN VIRGINIA CITY - The
Aldermen of Virginia City are still toying with
the swill milk question and act like men who
had some sort of pecuniary interest in the
ranches where the vile stuff comes frem The
solution of the question does not lie with the
Aldermen, who fear the mlkmen. About a
year ago the proprietor of one of the ranches
went through the streets and publicly pro.
claimed that he would let the stomach out Of
any man who interfered with his business.
The Board Of Aldermen are not probably
bought up but are simply governed by sense

THE Reason WHY.--If the County Com
missioners considered the bonds of Messrs.
Cavanaueh. Boske and Parkinson worthless
why didnt they inform those gentlemen, and
allow them to withdraw.-1i16unc.
The Commissioners de not consider any of
the bondsmen bad except E. j. Parkinson.
The above paragraph was simply intended
as a slur upon Mr. Bssko. When the gen
tleman went on the bond he was perfectly
good. Afterwards he became involved in
financial difficulties and Immediately mott
fled the County Commissioners that he was
ready to withdraw if necessary. They re-
piled that if he was unable to fix his af-
fairs by the time he returned from San
Francisco he could withdraw. He returned
from below all right and the Commission
ers informed him that his endorsement was
perfectly good As far as Mr.. Parkinson
is concerned he went on the pond to crafty
weakness he has for mixing up with
sslid men. 1t will be remembered that the
bend was for $50 900, this was 50 600 more
than was necessary and Mr.. Parkinsous
name went down for s., 900 not needed, and
the reason the Commissioners give for say !
ing nothing about it was that they wished |
to 'let him down easy" 1t is plain to
see that the Tribune establishment is hardly
able to make good an endorsement for
81 900 when old claims against the concern
are not worth ten cents on a dollar.

MR.. ELSTNER REPLY TO HILL.

| LLOYD HILL, Shertf-Sir: l have read
yours of this morning i'll the APPEAL and OF
which | herein place copy:
EDITOR APPEAL: l desire to ask MIR.
Elstner through your columns the following
! questions, and hope to receive from him I'M
equvocal and definite answers:
| First, How much money did you, Mr.
Esther, personally receive into the Sheriff
/ office during your deputyship, AMI from what
sources did you receive slch moneys
Second, What disposition did you make
| of the several sums so received by you
| The several amounts of money reaching my
| hands as deputy of yours will be found cor
| rectly recorded in the books in your office.
Collections for county revenues were in every
case either handed to You, MIR. Power or into
the Treasurer's etfice or if the amount was
low as SIG it would be retained in some pigeon
hole until one or the ether of you came ia to
receive Ii the an cunts were above $50 and
neither of you were present 1t was handed
into the Treasurer's office. Latterly | have
avoided as much as possible the issuance of
any county license and therefore paid none
into the Treasurer's office and but seldom t"
either YOU or Mr. Powers. In other cases
all small amounts of fees were charged to
myself on the cash hook, which has during
your entire term of office been before yeur
eyes, and when SO charged handed to nay wife
and children for pocket change. The custom
of settling any debt or bill of mine in
amounts above twenty dollars was for you to
promise ME to go forthwith and pay. This
custom accepted by me because 1t always
appeared that you would rather promise to
pay deb, or bill of S100 than to pay me di
rectly 100 cents.
| believe the questions You have propound-
ed are all answered as well can at pres
ent. | have endeavored to do SO cordially
and 'unequivocal and definite as | possibly
can with that constant attending mirthfulness
produced by the object of the questions which |
object is as clear to me as it is to the person
who wrote the questions for you and the OBJ
iect being for the purpose of dlverting atten-
ton from reality to weakly manufactured
myth. You will excuse the playful mood
that it has given to me on SO serious an ecca-
sion. | regret that you did not ask or say
which would lead from nae other
answer that | have been prepared within the
last few days to answer. However as all
questions and answers will shortly be heard
IN court and probably heard more satisfac-
srily by the public, | will cast aside the re-
sret. Though | will hope that your late adj
iisors will refrain from dipping you further

THE WHY'S AND WHEREFoRE-The I'll
bn,,e of last evening charges the APPEAL with
endeavoring in con junction with the Times
to suspend its publication. Speaking for our
selves we can say that We have simply en-
deavored to publish better paper than the
| Tribune and if the public do not care to pat
ronize journal manfestly behind the times
| it is the fault of the paper that cannst keep
| abreast of its competitors. The emily power
the Tribune ever had came form the terrorism
inspired by its foul and reckless abuse of
decent people. Months ago We took away the
whip it once cracked over the community and
its occupation is necessarily gone. About
this time the Times seeing a chance for
vacancy to occur became an evening paper
1t fills the requirements, and like the APPEAL
takes regular telegraphic dispatches, The
Tribune takes 10 dispatches and for its lack
of enterprise is fast falling to the rear. 1t is
perfectly proper thing that newspaper
built up in fraud, vituperaton and the gross
est ignorance of the profession of journalism
should meet with such fall. 1t can only pre-
vent its crumbling into ruins by publishing
better paper than its rivals. The public want
news, it must give it them. People want
current topics fearlessly discussed; the paper
that would retain patrons must discuss them.
A newspaper to be popular must be fearless,
readable and independent instead of sneaking,
and Sinking. We give the Tribune
these points because it may not yet be too
late to profit by our advice.

BOYS SMOKING.
New York Times.l

New York Times.l
When boys are advised not to smoke
on hygienic grounds they laugh at the
advice, and speak of its givers as old
fogles. But careful experiments, lately
made by a physician of repute, prove
that the practice is very Injurious. He
took for his purpose thirty eight
boys, from nine to fifteen, who. had
been in the habit of smoking, and
examined them closely. In twenty
seven he found obvious hurtful effect;
twenty-five having various disorders of
the circulation and digestion, palpita-
ing for strong drink; twelve of the boys
were bleeding at the nose; ten had dis
turbed sleep, twelve had slightly ulcer
alton of the mucous membrane of the
mouth, which disappeared after discon-
of tobacco for ten or twelve
days. The physician treated them all
for weakness and nervousness, though
with little avail, until they had relin-
lqufshed smoking, when health and
were speedily restored. Even
if it be granted that smoking is not
harmful to adults, there Is no doubt of
its harmfulness to the young. DIR.
Richardson, and others, who have
made special study of the subject, all
agree in declaring that it caused in
| thom impairment of growth, premature
viriiity, and physical degradation.
One of the worst effects is tho prov
ocation of an appetite for liquor, which,
indeed, is not confined to the young,
but which grown persons are better able
to manage. Where boys drink to
excess they are almost invariable
smokers, and it is very rare to find a
man over fond of spirits who is not
addicted to tobacco. Men who want to
give up drinking usually have to give
up smoking ut the same time, for they
say that a cigar or pipe generally
excites u desire for liquor very hard to
control.
