Ring the Boys to Bed.

1t would not be u bad idea to ring a bell
for about a score Of boys in Eureka who
prowl around saloons at night. The cur
few works to q charm in Carson and
Austin, and it would do no harm to try a
tintinsbulator on the proving boys Of the
Base Range. The Reveille tells about the
workings Of the curfew in Austin thus:
"Our curfew law has now been in force
long enough to show that it is q success.
The crowds Of unruly, boisterous boys who
used to be troublesome have now disap-
peared from our streets. When s o'clock
arrives and the eight taps of the fire bell
announces that the time has arrived for
Juveniles to be at home, there is a scamper-
ing by all boys who are out at that time.
The boys have exercised good sense in
this. Instead OF waiting to be arrested
and jailed, they acted like good ,~law-abiding
boys, and observed the law like men
would have done. They deserve credit for
their part in the matter, and all hands are
to be congratulated.

In THE PRESENCE OF DEATH.

Touching Farewell Kiss Of Man
and Wife ON the Steamer Column
bus Wreck.
Among the confused mass who were
struggling and screaming was noticed q
middle-aged man and his wife. Their
conduct was in marked contrast with that
OF the other passengers. The panic which
had seized the others was o shared by
them, but their blanched faces told that
they realized the peril which surrounded
them. The only movement Of muscles or
nerves was that produced by the chilling
atmosphere. They stood close together,
their hands clasped to each other, as if
about to contemplate suicide together. and
thus fulfill the marital vow Of standing
by each other in the varying tide of life's
fortunes and misfortunes. AS the wreck
careened with the gale from n side to the
other, and while the spray and waves were
drenching them at every moment, the hus-
band turned and imprinted a kiss upon
the companion Of his life, and while thus
embraced, q heavy sea broke over the
wreck and both were washed away and not
seen afterward. Mr.. Cook says the scene
was one which will remain inGeliby i'm
pressed upon his memory until his dying
day.

ElkO Lases.

The prosecution of r. G. 0'Neil has
proved a burden to Elko as we'll as to
White Pine county. The Free Press says
the entire cost Of the trial to the two coun-
ties will be something of 50. 200. This
amount will be paid by Elko County cash
up. But the 5000 already paid out for
witnesses will be returned to the Elko
courty treasury by White Pine, If there is
much more money in her treasury. The
balance, twelve or thirteen hundred dol
lars, will be paid to Elko county in White
Pine scrip, which Is now selling for 40 or
40 cents on the dollar. The cost OF this
trial will probably cause it to drop 10 or 10
cents. The 0'Neil case will therefore cost
Eiko county, directly or indirectly, about

difference between White Pine and Elko
scrip: This amount may be swelled to

Mrs. Martin OF Omaha didn't scream
when she unlocked her room and saw a
burglar. On the contrary, she marched
him to the police station. The Omaha
Bee sketches the scene: "a big. strapp-
ing fellow, fully six feet high, with broad
shoulders and heaving frame, came march
ing up the street with his head hanging,
and looking decidedly sheepish. Right
behind him walked q little woman, Of
average height and slim built, but in her
eye was a determined look. and what looked
more determined was a fve-sbooter re-
v%olver, which she carried in her right
hand, with the muzzle in a direct line
with the big fellows head. The pistol was
cooked, and the prisoner knew from the
look in her eye that q misstep meant
leaden pills for him. After the lady had
turned her man over to an officer she put
away the pistol.

PROBABLE Change of Time.

We learn by telegram from San Fran
cisco last evening that the Clearance
House Association Of that city has pre-
sented a memorial to the Central Pacific
Railroad Company, requesting that trains
be dispatched at 5 P. NJ. instead Of $3.50
P. NJ. as by the present schedule. II the
Central Pacific makes this concession. the
east-bound train will arrive at Palisade an
hour and a half later than now, 30 that the
train for Eureka conld moi leave Palisade
until Z o'clock. This would bring the
eastern and western overland trains to
Palisade at nearly the same time, and
would probably enable Supt. Gilman, Of
the Eureka 4 Pslisade Railroad, to make
such arrangements as to bring up the pas
sengers from the east and west on his train
every night as formerly.

THE AUDITOR,s Il II
A Constitutional Question Affecting
the commissioners SALARY.

A constitutional Question Affecting
In commissioners salary.
1t has been known for the last two
weeks that Auditor D. H. Hall intended to
veto the salary bills of the County Com
missioners. He has nov done so and we
presume that his veto will result in a suit
to test the validity Of the law Of 1881, I'M
der which each member of the Board, ex-
cept Mr.. Baily, who took Office under the
statute Of 1883, has been getting for his
services 500 per month. The law affects
only Commissioners Smith and Arlington,
Mr.. Baily receiving only $75 per month
under the law last referred to, about the
constitutionality of which, as far as the item
OF salary is concerned, we believe there is
no question. In case the Law is proved
unconstitutional q previous law will be
revived under which the two Commission
ers named will be entitled to draw only
$50 each per month. Mr.. Hall is of the
opinion that the former law, that Of 1881,
is unconstitutional and interposes his veto
in order to have the question judicially de-
termined. He claims that this law is in
valid because it involves special legisla-
ton which is prohibited by the Constitu-
ton Of the State. Some iend has taken
off our statutes OF 81, and we are not
able, at present, to refer to the text; but
the ground taken is that the law was
made to apply to Eureka county alone,
not in general terms even, but by special
and exclusive mention Of the said county.
Senator w. W. Hobart introduced
the bill, and it was through his
efforts that it became q law. Mr.. Hobart
is not a lawyer, but he is old In the public
service as a county and State officer, and
shrewd enough not to have made so serious
and glazing an error as that which is said to
invalidate the law under discussion. The
obstacle of especial legislation" is gener-
ally removed by the ingenious method of
indirectly describing the county intended
to be affected as one having $50 many
votes or over at the last election" This
is IN old dodge. Why he did not resort
to it, supposing his bill to have been badly
framed, is q conundrum. The Commits
sioners are the center figures in this
county, and everything that affects them
makes an interesting topic of conversation.
We shall doubtless hear from the District
Court in the premises during this term.

in the piece now running. He has just re-
turned to this country, I've days ago, and
says that Miss Anderson is drawing three
or four hundred pounds a night. No seats
are to be had for about six weeks in ad-
vance. One effect of this extraordinary
vogue Of the American actress is that she
will probably remain abroad much longer
than she expected to. She would be quite
right in returning the compliment which
several English stars have paid this coun-
try, and making as much money in En-
gland as she can.

Adolph Guiol. bsrkeeper at the Bruins
wick Billiard Hall. The Chinaman fire.
quently made himself obnoxious by play
ing billiards. Yesterday the balls were
taken from him, and be went outside and
secured a Ratchet. He returned, telling
Guiol the proprietor wanted to see him.
AS Guiol passed gu. Of the door the Chi
naman raised the Ratchet and made a des-
perate blow at Guilo's head. The latter
had just time to raise his left arm, which
received the blow, making a severe wound.
Guiol's escape from instant death was al
most miraculous, as the Chinaman seemed
crazed either by opium or liquor. To-day
he was held in $500 bail, on q charge of
assault to murder, and was remanded to
Jail for further examination.
