Lost Men.
\ CARSON MERCHANT

On Sunday afternoon j. II.
Blevins and Robert Chinn dis
appeared from the States Prison
and have not since been heard
of. For some weeks past they
ha ,e been allowed to go out and
drive stock from the ranches to
the prison. They were not very
we'll acquainted with the noun
famous country about Carson,
and it is feared that they have
lost their way in some dark
ravine and are wandering about
in the inclement weather home
less and alone. One was a young
child only IS years, and his COM
panion only 81. These young
sters have had but very little
experience in the world, except
as horse thieves, and are pro-
badly wandering about without
a mariners compass or any kind
hand to cock their meals or
smooth their pillows at night.
Blevins is 81 years Old, weighs
1877 pounds, complexion dark
and swarthy. Chinn is smooth
faced boy of is, light complex
ion, but tanned, right eye blue
left eye light gray. Blevins
had a sprained ankle. Parties
finding the pair are requested
to return them to their Old
home.

Hints on Cow Management.

There are large number Of
people in Carson who allow COWS
to run at large that they may
slip into back yards and forage
off the sWill barrels. Some
people get unduiy excited when
a COW comes into the yard, and
collecting the family, rush out,
with clubs and stones, and drive
the animal at a gallop four times
around the house, ranrpling
down the shrubbery and knock
ing over the terra-cotta statuary.
Some times the cow gets into
the hammock and it is no easy
matter to separate the two.
Much trouble can be avoided if
the COW is treated in a more
friendly manner. Kindness
goes further with a COW than
clubs. Slip quietly up with a
milk pail and while the COW is
eating, quietly extract six or
eight quarts Of milk and then
guide her carefully out of the
back gate. If the swill barrel is
kept we'll supplied the COW will
come regularly every day and
be glad to exchange milk for
grub. A better way still is to
feed the COW on barley and good
alfalfa hay, which insures better
milk. All cows coming into the
writer's yard are certain to be
we'll treated, we'll fed and we'll
MIXED.

THE DRUMMER LAW.
Views of Merchant on a M0dln-
cation Of the Law.

To THE EDITOR OF THE AP-
PEAL: AS you call for the
VI-Ws of the merchants anC
business men on the repeal OF
the drummer law, l take the
liberty of expressing my ideas
upon the subject. Merchants in
certain lines of goods favor a re-
peal of the law, while others do
not. | would not like to see the
law repealed, nor would a ma
jority of business men, but we
would all be willing to have the
law modified. The law was
passed at the instance of bust
ness men who found that the
drumners, instead of attending
to their legitimate business and
selling to the dealers, were re
failing goods, thereby cutting
business from under their pat
rOns. This caused all the
trouble, and SO the drummer
law was passed to keep drum
mers out altogether. Now bust
ness men miss the drummerS
and so do saloon, hotel and liv-
cry men, who reaped consider
able benefit from the drummerS
coming and going. If the law
could be so modified that COM
mercial agents cUuld be allowed
to deal only with stores and
business firms and compelled to
pay heavy license if they did
business | think the merchants
would be glad as a rule to have
the matter so adjusted. How
such a law could be framed |
will leave to men in the bust
ness. Hoping that you can find
space for these hints, l remain,
yours truly,

GAsTRONOMICAL SOCIETY
How the ShOddyites OF sam Fran
cisco Ape the French.

cisco Ape the French.
The society columns of the
San Francisco Argo1aaW keep the
outside barbarians posted as to
the movements of those persons
who are beginning to slop over
into the French district. The
latest method of entertaining
people in San Francisco is by
means of the dejeuuaer. 1t is a
dcj etUe1reOctOcke1' affair thanked
with a recherche menu. The So
ciety paper announces that Mr..
Janin gave one of these at the
Golden Gete Park, and the re-
porter who didn't even get so
much as a smell at the kitchen,
is glad to announce that it was
zone of those charming little
affairs which are really more ell
joyable than a pretentions BAN
quet. Whether this giver of
the dejemer was the man who
helped along the bogus diamond
business some years ago or net,
the society reporter sayeth not.
The Tea spelled with Il capitaD,
is another thing which is the
rage. A tea with a small ''t' is
the vulgar method OF entertain
ing friends in vogue among the
middle classes, but the Tea, with
a big at" is the more recherche
affair. No lady of position who
sits down to tea would care to
have it mentioned, but when
she gets invited 10 big Tea
she will have it announced if it
costs her ten dollars for the
notice. The kettledrum, with ,
a big "k," is also fashionable. |
But why it is not called the B.
flat cornet or the BazoO is not |
set forth. The musicale is con- |
sidered the correct thing. Mrs. |
jones' charming musicale on |
Minna street last evening"" etc.,
means that Miss Jones, who has
just graduated from Mills
Seminary, is anxious to show off
her piano accomplishments and
also give FitZ Simmons, her af-
a chance to yaWp a
stave or two from TrUrut0re. |
The two go through the ,1iserere
scene while the guests sit be
hind them in suppressed con-
WILSON'S of laughter which they
manage to cleverly drown by
LIBERAL applause. It only costs
$50 to get noticed in the so
ciety columns of the CAL now
and So in the 4ygOn0ut, and
the price is getting lower as the
mob come in.

Society Gossip.

| Yesterday Mrs. Annie Peterson
arrived in this city with the
idea of making the capital hel
permanent home. She has
rented rooms at the Batterman
House, that elegant stone man.
sion near the old Warm Springs,
and closed q lease with the State
for II years. She was
chaperoned by Sheriff Thomas
Of Lander county. Mrs. Peter
son comes from Battle Mountain,
and on account of setting fire to
some property was advised by
Judge Mckinney, of the District
Court, to come here and live.
She is a cOlored woman, and the
Austin RereWe gives charm
ing pen picture of her accom-
plishments:
This colored woman now be-
ing sent there is high tenn
pered, vindictive jade, not at
all easy to manage, and she. will
be likely to make things lively
if she does not like the place or
people. The trouble is i'm hav-
ing only one woman there. She
has ts be kept away from the
rest of the prisoners and not al
lowed to eat or work with the
rest. This colored wench, how
ever, is a good cook, and may,
perhaps, be utilized in that way.
Yet the Chinese prisoners con-
fined there are easier utilized as
cooks, and she could not be put
to work with them. 1t is diff
ficult to find a position for her
there that man is not better
fitted for. All will be glad when
she has served her time, or is
pardoned out and got we'll rid of.
Make the Plank strong
" Make the anti-monOpOly
plank as strong as possible"
said a candidate for the Assem-
bly, in the Eastern part Of the
State to some of the committee
on resolutions.
Why, Bill, | thought you
was a sort of friend of the mo-
said one Of the COM
mittee.
:. So | am, and when the peo-
pie pin ME down under a good, |
strong plank, the monOps. have |
to come down heavier with the |
sack to get that weight off me.
If we don't give no pledge they |
think they've got us anyhow.
