\ RonO druggist, two days

| \ Rono druggist, two days
ago, cleaned several Carson
sporting men out of about ST.

him and will probably increase
his stock of drugs with it.
The faro dealers say that this
was the hardest lot Of legesla-
tors that ever met in Carson.
None of them INDUCED in
faro, but they were awful poker
players and it is said took away
more money away from the city
than they left.
Charles Combs, brother of
James f. Combs, the slayer of
John d. Ross, is in the city from
Modesto, Cal, trying to do what
he can for his brother. The I'M
fortunate mans family are grief
stricken, and it is said that his
mother has not slept single
night since her sons fearful act.
\. Y. Ross, the heroic ex-
press messenger, is at Reno. 1t
is to be hoped that he may pay
Carson visit, as he has many
friends here who would like to
see him. The report comes from |
a very good source that Colonel |
Croker presented him with a
S., 600 check.

It is claimed BY parties in this
city that jim Elliott, the prize
fighter recently killed in
Chicago by Damn, once resided
in this city, and in early times
kept a saloon here. If this story
is true it is not a circumstance
which will rebound to the credit
of Carson. For several years
past Elliott has achieved con-
siderhble notoriety by issuing
challenges to leading prize fight
ers and then forgetting to be
around when the stakes were
to lie put up.

Stout Beer.

The amount Of snap that is
found in Sweeney's bottled beer
is being made the groundwork
Of considerable speculation. II
is now claimed that he puts a
dash of Roderer in each bottle
Of beer and that gives it the vim.
In cathedral where there is a
high roof such beer might do,
but in houses where the ceiling
is only twelve feet from the
floor, the flying corks knock a
cnunk out of the plaster every
time. There is one room in the
writer's house that hasn't a
square inch of plaster left, and
now the laths are beginning to
give way. In few weeks you
can study astronomy through

The History OF the Parifi.st.tes.

The APPEAL has received
Vol. ~. of the " History of the
Pacific States" by Hurber1
Bancroft. The book which con-
sists Of over 100 pages is de-
voted to the history of Mexico.
1t begins with the discovery oil
Mexico by the Spaniards in 1916,
and closes with the conquest Of
CorteZ. The historian never be-
fore struck so rich a mine of
romance, war and conquest as
found in Mexico and it lies in
the line of the facts to say that
no historian ever developed that
mine with so much intelligence
and industry. Compared with
the undertaking of Bancroft,
the historians who have pre-
ceded him INDUCED only in
random surface scratching. He
has sunk shaft down into the
depths of the past and sent his
drifts and crosscuts into the very
richest. deposits that time has
left in the ledge OF the New
World. Other historians have
looked upon Mexico as a sort of
enchanted domain of romance,
and in their writings threw a
glamour over the pages which
made them read more as a work
of imaginative fiction than a
recital Of actual events. Ban
croft has taken another course.
At the beginning of the book We
find the names Of 1900 works
which he quotes as authorities.
From this vast repository of
he draws his facts
and there is no statement Of /
fact made in the work that is
not accompanied By a foot note
naming the authority. \ trained
attorney preparing paper for a
Court could not be .
more careful in his compilation.
With all this care in making a
record he has at the
;a,ne time been able to make his
'ecital surprisingly interesting.

fiction or abate ore iOt of q

elf, and there are over thirty

In all the blather and fuss Of Re.
publican journals about the legislature
remaining in session there is one thing
that the people must not for an instant
forget.
The Democrats in the legislature
are standing up manfully and boldly
and determiucdly for the peoples right
Of Equal Representation and are not
governed by partisan spirit or motive.
The twenty.six Republican senators
under the lead Of Boss Cooper say that
the people shall not be accorded their
right of Equal Representation. They
now fatty refuse to pass any appor.
tionment bills at all. They will do
nothing but stay in session halfhour
two days in the week and expect
thirty-6ve dollars a day for doing so.
This is fact that cannot be men.
toned too often and that no fairmind.
ed man in either party should permit

that no registered letter addressed to

very much as if the Postmaster Gen.

We take it for granted, that our

mulate a platform, they are not thcor-
lists but men of practice-and in
their platform we see much that bears
this out. When they cry out against
the revolutionists in the Legislature,
and demand that the work for which
the Governor has called it together
should be done, they show that they
have no respect for nonsense-and in
deed most parts of their public decla-
ration of principles show this same
strong sense of right-and if we differ
from them in any particular, it is not
because we do not have full recogni-
ton of and respect for the honesty of
their intention. But in one respect We
must take issue with the State Grange.
They demand, that the character Of the
management of the State College
should be radically changed and that
it should become an institution entire.
