Killed by Fright.

Many an Illness Is caused by i'm
agination, and those Of us who 20
about our work with calmness aud
confidence are much more likely to
escape disease than others who are
filled with apprehension should infec-
ton come within 100 miles of them.
In connection with this, the Arabs
tell the following story: One day a
traveller met the Plague going into
Cairo, and aecosted it thus: e'lfor
what purpose are you entering Cairo7"
ITO kill three thousand people," re-
joined the Plague. Some time af-
ter .the same traveller met the
Plague on its return, aud said,
.'But you killed 30,00oi' "Nay." an
swered the Plague, "I killed but
1900; the rest died of fright"

Competitive showing.

The Carson Appeal Is responsible
for the following:
Steve Gage believes that a man. bas
a right to get as high price as possi-
BILE for goods or services, unless, of
course, there be competition. Sup
pose Mr.. Gage should swallow glass
Of poison, Inistaking 1t for wine, and
should then attempt to purchase an
antipode of druggist.
"IIere, give nae something quick,
or I'm dead man."
"All right, Mr.. Gage; here Is just
the thing you need; price, $500"
"Great heavensi What a TARIFF
"well, you see, have the only
drugstore in town. This Is not a
competitive point, and If You don I
want the article, just say so. OF
course You are not absolutely bound
to take my goods; but this emetic
will afford quick transportation for
the poison. II you don't like the
Idea, LET II take "A slower route"
The probabilities arc that Mr.. Gage
would invest to save or prolong his
life. Nevada is in its commercial
death throes, and must take tho Cen
tral Pacific emetic or starve.

A Compliment.

The London Times. in commenting
on the increase in population of the
United States as shown by the recent
census, says: These eleven and half
millions of people are not poor.
INDECENT and untaught mass, such as
woHld be produced by any European
State by so great and rapid an acces-
sion of population. They are all fed,
clothed, well-to-do. and, as rule,
we'll educated. There is room and TO
spare for them all, and as for as many
more during the next ten years. We
cannot but look with some envy upon
a nation whose easy lot it is to gather
up the good things which fortune
casts to them.

Travelling In Idaho.

The Silver City Avalanche says:
Mrs. j. d. Springer and Mrs. Black
niger, mentioned last week as being
siorm-bound on Reynolds Creek, re-
mained there until Sunday, and AZ
there was little prospect of the roads
being speedily opened, 1t was de-
cided to bring the ladies' to Silver
City by hand; accordingly a kind of
carry-all was improvised, with snow
shoes for runners, and Sunday morn
ing a party of six or eight men started
for Charley Jobnson's, distance of
about twelve miles, which place they
reached in good time. They made
the ladies' as comfortable as possible
in the crude conveyance, threw ON one
OF Wells, Fargo Il Co. 'streasure boxes,
by way of ballast, and hauled their
load into town, reaching there n short
time before dark, and delivering their
precious cargo In like ''good order and
condition." with ony one spill, and
that was after they were inside of the
city limits, but with fifty feet of snow
to fall upon no damage resulted to
the ladies'.

The Monterey Times tells how the
forests disappear TO make shoe-pegs
enough for American use consumes
annually 100, 900 cords of timber, and
to make our matches 800, 900 feet of
the best pine are annually consumed.
Lasts and boot-trees take SOC, 900 cords
Of birch, beech and maple, and the
handles of tools 500, 900. The baking
Of our bricks consume 100000
cords of wood, or what would cover
with forest about so, 900 acres of land.
Telegraph poles already up represent
$4,000 trees, and there annual repair
represents about $4,000. The ties of
the railroads consume annually thirty
years growth of $4,000 acres, and
to fence all our railroads would cost
$46, 200, 900, with a yearly expendi-
fure Of sl5, 900, 900 for repairs.

The resolution concurrent No. e.,
introduced by Assemblyman Condor,
memorializing Congress for the pro-
vision of means to prosecute artesian
borings within the State of Nevada,
has the right ring to it. The neces-
sity for greater water supplies for
irrigating and for stock purposes is
imperative. There are millions of
acres of land in Nevada which have
every inherent characteristic of fer
tility except the moisture to make the
soil available for agricultural and
grazing purposes. It is very true
that the limited water supply which
nature affords is by no means utilized
to such an extent as science will in
the future prove to be practicable;
but 1t Is nevertheless true, as we be-
lieve, that there are almost every
where vast subterranean reservoirs of
water, which await only judicious ex-
perimenting and outlay before spring
ing forth TO gladden. and enrich our
great domain. The general conforma-
ton OF our systems of mountains and
valleys indicate this. The annual
rainfall, which occurs mainly through
the winter, Is by no means slight, or
really inadequate to almost universal
agriculture, were the showers but
precipitated in their proper season.
This water supply is not absorbed by
evaporation. IL sinks into the earth
and rocks. The hills and alternating
valleys are everywhere but great
tanks, that reed but the tapping To
pour forth their stored up-blessings
in the shape of pure sparkling water.
We hope soon to see report from the
Committee on Public Lands upon the
joint resolution. If there is State in
the Union that needs a little substan-
tial recognition, it is Nevada, and this
Is as good direction as any for such
aid.

AN Ohio paper proposes to number

secutively from l to "a, or from mid

oi the proposed new method says

Two IL o'clocks than there Is for hav-
ing two 12-mile posts In a 24-mile

ment of time theatrical managers
would announce "Doors open at 10,

And at 20 o'clock all the good people

A SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL explains in
a long article show thunder storms
come up.n We haven't read the arti-
Gle, but we know how they come up.
They wait until the Sunday-school
picnic reaches the grove and gets
fairly to business at copenhagen,
swinging, Irritation, croquet and
other innocent games, and then they
come up like thunder and lightning.
Il takes the average thunder storm
not more than ten minutes to come
up In the neighborhood of picnic.

The Democratic readers Of the APP
neal all over Tennessee will hail with
Measure the return of at least n of
lis distinguished editors to the old
Democratic Southdown fold on tho
1908 question. When the outside
editor shall have smelt a little more OF
the birthstone Of popular indignation
anon this great villainy, he'll come
right, too. That gentleman, with all
bis dash, enterprise and genius as a
journalist, has committed an egregious
error in attempting to stiAe free
thought and free speech upon this vi
tai question. Does not our talented
contemporary know that this is a ques-
ton that will not down at his bidding,
thatit has been q live issue with nearly
every newspaper in Tennessee ever
since the passage Of the bill, except
the Appeal On that day the Appeal,
having said repeatedly before that the
people never would consent to the
1908 settlement to the surprise of all
had who watched its persistent oppcsi
ton to it, suddenly threw up its hands
and exclaimed. ave hope the DEM
ocracy will agree with us that the debt
question Is settled finally, and
forever.9 The free people Of Tennossee
have determined otherwise. The pas
sag Of that infamous bill did not
settle the question forever. In the
eloquent language Of the Appeal Of thl
10th Of March last: Democrats can
neverb be dragooned into a settlement on
this basis. \ \ The men who have lite
high the Democratic banner, and
whose fidelity and earnestncss in party
service cannot be ~iupeached. will
repudiate the conspiracy by which the
State is transferred to the bondholders.
The settlement is not worth a
pepper corn" These be brave words,
and they thrilled the heart of every
true Tennessean when they were ut
tered. But then, to say afterward
that "the debt question is settled, and
finally and forever"-well, it only
illustrates the mutability Of men and
empires. But it is all right now, and
we have nothing more to say, since
