"AdanleSS Eden.r

The ''Adamless Eden" troupe
last evening drew crowded house,
and as soon as the curtain rose the
telescopes Of the audience were
brought to bear upon the stage.
Old b, was there with his long
field glass magnifying 200 dame
tiers, > glass that a man can see a
knot On the pine shingles Of a barn
up in Carson Valley. He never
took the long brass tube from his
eye an instant while the curtain
was up.
Young b, in the front row,
had one of Friends powerful range
glasses, that brought the dashing
dude of the show so close that the
odors OF patchouli we're distinctly
discernable. The display Of en-
chanting, lithe-limbed and voluptu-
GUS beauties was all that could be
desired, the music was light and
catching and everything neat and
trim.

HucEleberry Finn.

The APPEAL is in receipt OF
Twain's new book, "Huckleberry
Finn which has been 50 density
advertised for some months PAST
It is an interesting volume in
Twain's best vein, and profusely
illustrated. The tone Of the vol
ume is indicated in the opening
paragraphs:

.lesdol stock.

Ne7ada farmers are gradually
pay ing some attention to blooded
stock and the cattle strains in Ne
vads have been gradually Improved.
Foremost anenx the cattle breeders
is w. J. Marsh, Who has unceas-
ingly pressed his favsrite short
horns to the front, and demonstrat-
cd beyond a question the perfect
ad.ptabiIity Of this we'll established
stock to the Nevada climate.
The Vail Bros, near Fort
Churchill. are also spending large
sums of money to get the best cat
tie, and are importing fancy breeds
from the East.
A summary Of auction sales of
pedigreed cattle shows that 1900
passed under the hammer In 1884,
in the United States, bringing a to-
tai of 81 $4,000, or, say $3.50 head
for all ages. Short-herns brought
5000 each, Herefords 1876, Polled
Angus $376, Galieways 1912, Hol-
stems 1854, Jerseys $2l4. With
all the breeds, the prices at private
sale were firm during the year, in
spite Of financial depression and
the outbreak of contagious dis
ease. ....
The above sales do not include
anything but pure, recordable stock
and grades of all descriptions are
not counted. The Holsteins are
now being introduced in California
and their milk and butter records
attract wide attention: They have
reached as high as 20 quarts Of
milk a day, and one cow at Smith
& Powell's farm Syracuse, New
York, has scored butter record Of
994 lbs. in 50 days.
Farmers are fast learning that
there is very little money in scrub
cattle, who eat more than thorough
breds and do not yield one-tAird
the revenue.

A Lesson Of Economy,

Twenty years ago a Carson man
who was an inveterate smoker,
swore off on cigars and began to
save ten cents day. At the end
of the year he. had $3I rs, the bank
paying him 5 per cent. He kept
right on saving and only smoking
when somebody gave him one of
Jake Tebriner's cigars and so saved
up 1854 "a, which he bet on
Blaine, and lost every last d6llar
of it.

The Eclipse.

The eclipse came off in this city
yesterday, and was conducted in
good style. Why the eclipse
chose this particular spot to show
off in, is more than we can say.
Probably because the meridian
line passes through here. People
who came up from Reno to see the
affair, were allowed every facility
and expressed themselves we'll sat
isfied with the treatment they re-
ceived. Much edit is due the
able committee of arrangements
who personally conducted the
eclipse.
Jake Klein, John Rcsser and
Dan kitzmeyer gave the signal for
the sun to begin to get obscure and
saw that everybody had all the
smoked glass they wanted. The
moon took no mean advantage Of
the sun when it got its head in
chancery, but did the fair thing.
Several chickens went in to roost
and Doc Benton thinking it was
night started to 90 to bed. Every
thing was conducted during the
eclipse in quiet and orderly man
ner and everybody went home sat
is6ed.

WHEELING, March 13.-There Is
living at Petersburg young lady
Who has in her possession 4 large
aumber Of letters which arc covet-
ed sv the War Department at
Washington, but which she has, so
far, psrsisteatly refused to surrea-
der. They are letters from the un-
fortunate Private Henry of the
Greedy Expedition, one of them
written a few weeks only before
Henry was shot. 1t was brought
to the young lady by an agent of
the department. She was betrothed
to Henry, their acquaintance hav-
ing commenced in 1879, through
the medium of an advertisement
for lady correspondent, inserted
by Henry in the Cincinnati En-
quirer. The girl was then but if
teen years old. She is the daughter
of prominent and we'll to do pa
rents, who were kept IN ignorance
Of her engagement to Henry until
his last visit to hers while on his
way to join the Greedy Expedition.
In one Of his letters Henry says he
will visit the Arctic regions and
write a book that Will make him
rich and flnous, and return to
marry her and settle down.

NEvnDA,a soxA sxIrMENT


Brush state.
The Virgin. Chronicle recently
made the statement that Sa. Fran
cisco dealers were shipping > gssd
many tons Of bones away frsm
Virgins City to be used at the
sugar refsery. No enc can doubt
the refining infuesces Of the Ne
vada ma. when alive, but We were
not prepared for such commercial
recognition Of the value of the
remnants of sage brush ossifcation.
We had supposed that when sage
brusher was gathered to his father
he had struck the last margin OF
his usefulness, but 1t seems not.
In the name Of the illnstrious army
of Nevada's dead We protest
against taking bones away FROM
this State whose owners when bur
led supposed they would rest un-
disturbed until the sound Of Cab
rlel's silver cornet wakes them up
for roll call. If this scribe should
die in this State, as he hopes to, he
should like to see old Claus Spreck-
les make an attempt just once to
freight his skeleton over the blast
ed monopoly railroads, to help
make Bill Sharon's coffee sweet at
the Palace Hotel May the devil
appoint us as Superintendent of the
Mint or hang US up on a nail like a
split mackerel, if we'd have it.
This has always been the way
these greedy Californians have of
spelling our substance. They APP
propriate our brains, eur sweat, our
blood and our time to- make them
selves rich, and why in the deuce
cant they draw the line of appro-
priation at our bones, after they
have picked them clean
The time is not far off when
agents will be up here, iotting down
the names of big bony men, and
hiring doctors to kill EN- off the
sooner, not that they don't kill EN-
fast enough now. We hope We
make ourselves understood. 1t
makes our State pride rise on end
to think of squad of sugar re-
fnery men jumping into a grave
yard in Virginia City and dragging
away bones that have been used to
carry primary elections ever since
thew were buried. 1t would be
rough joke on Col Stone if he has
beer voting Jimmy McGinnis and
Pat Shaugnessy fer four or five
elections and the same two stand
bys of the party mixed up together
in Spreckles sugar refinery all
these years.

Election Of school Trustees,

The Reno. Gazette is of the opin-
ion that the amended school law
contemplates the election of five
new trustees in May. If this is so
it legislates three trustees out of
Office. This does not seem fair to

gest that in Ormsby county the
Convention nominate the three

President Cleveland's plain talk to
the cattlemen shows that he is the kind
of President the people have been
wanting these many years. By means
ofleases, which the cattlemen knew to be
illegal, they had cut away great slices
from the reservation until the four and
a-quarter million of acres set apart for
the Indians has been reduced to about
four hundred thousand. Deprived of
the space and means for getting a liv-
ing, the Indians naturally began to
make trouble. The President took in
the situation, and seeing the injustice
done the red man, he ordered the cat
tlemen to quit the Indian territory in
forty days. They asked an extension
of time. 1t was refused by telegraph.
They then had the audacity to come
to Washington to carry their point by
personal pressure and talk of the
large business interest involved" To
their ingenious augmentation the Pre-
sident returned a distinct no, and be-
sides gave the cattlemen "A lecture on
their waste of time in coming to Wash
ington to get the order changed in
stead of Obeying it.

HIGH LIVING AT THE NEW CAS-
TIE ALMSHOUSE.

1t is high time the tax payers of New
Castle County should call halt on the
Trustees of the Poor, if they do not
wish to see the county bankrupted.
County Treasurer Herbet knows this
better than any other man. Warrants
amounting to $4,000 were drawn by
the Trustees of the Poor at their last
quarterly meeting, while there was
nothing like enough money in the
County Treasury tOpay them. Amongst
the charges was one over 81 300 for
beef alone. The amount furnished by
the enterprising butcher was 1888
pounds for two months, June and
July. As there are only 230 inmates in
the institution, this would allow them
one and third pound of beef day,
besides ratiOns of pork and mutton fur
nished.
/ What becomes of this meat? Does
anybody suppose for an instant that
/ these 230 inmates, many of them so old,
toOthless, weak and diseased, that they
could not cat pound in a week, con-
sumo that much meat How, too, do
these charges sound for an almshOuse :
teaspoons, "a per dozen; tablespoons,
IS per dozen forks, 81 per dozen wal
nut bedroom suits at $50 and $65 per
suite, and wake up, ye tax payers OF
New Castle County, there are eleven
suits of them. Ye men who labor and
toll for IS and 50 a week, and are ground
to the earth to pay taxes on your little
properties, only think of a $24O set o.
parlor furniture for an almshouse, and
an extra set of bedroom furniture fol
$40! Is this an almshOuse, that i!
