A HEAVY FALL OF Snow IN NEVADA.
Percy Morgan, and others, in from
Kingston, says that the snow storm that
visited this section on Friday night and
saturday morning was especially severe
at Kingston canon. 1t showed furiously
all Friday night, and on Saturday morn
ing it was six inches deep at Kingston,
fourteen inches deep at Jesse Daniels
rancho, three and half miles above the
canon, and fully two feet on tie summit
1t melted off very rapidly, however, on
Saturday, so there was comparatively lit
tie to be seen at Kingston, or this side of
there, in crossing the summit. The old
est settlers of Kingston cannon declare
that they never saw snow pour down and
pile up SO fast as it did Friday night and
Saturday morning 1t was like cloud
burst of snow.
FROM THE BACKWooDs.- couple ar
rived in the city from Fort Worth the
other morning on the east-bound train
over the Texas & Pacific Road, and were

straw hat, which was set eff with a red
plume. The bridegroom wore bis pants
in his boots, which were ornamented
with pair of huge spurs, was coatless,
wore blue flannel shirt, and a slouch,
broad -brimmed hat. They munched GIN
ger cake, and appeared TO be chuck full

tor Win lom, of Minnesota; President
White, of Cornell University; DR.. Curry,
administrators of the Peabody fund, and
about 600 ministers and delegates to con-
slider chiefly the educational interests of
the negro and Indian populations. The
American Missionary Associations, whose
thirty-sixth anniversary will be celebrated
Oct "a, % and 26. has performed much
of the education work among the freed
men of the present time, and incited
much of the remainder, and no nobler in.
stitution of benevolence is known in this
country. The census of 1880 showed
that of the 1928 ,451, persons more than
ten years of age in the United States who
cannot read, 3,775,731, are in the four
teen Southern States, fact which speaks
as to the need of educational fa-
cilities for the freedmen As to the In
dams, the nation must choose between
educating them and perpetually fighting
hem.
