MILITARY TROUBLES.
War Clouds All Along the Line

War CLOUDS All Along the Alhe O..
The military difficulties between
Lieutenant Governor Laughton,
ex- President of the Senate, ex-Of-
fcio State Librarian, Acting Gov
ernor and Adjutant General,
ex-senator Hub Parker, ex-Pro
TEN President Of the Senate and
Generalissimo of the wood train,
and ex-Fish Commissioner, have
reached serious turn.
\ few days ago General Parker
was asked to resign by Gen. Laugh
ton, his superior officer, but refuses
to do it.
This is the first time in the his
tory Of the battle-acc0uched State
that subordinate officer has re-
fused to obey the documentary
edict Of the more elevated in com
.land.
Hub for shorO is studying up a
new work on tactics in the field
and of, and until he finds exactly
where he sits, will not obey,
Charlie (for shorO Is girding on
his good sword and viii call out
the troops to compel obedience.
Hub has telegraphed to Capt.
Lord for his battery, which, we be-
lleve is Battery A. for assistance,
and Charlie has ordered the reserve
battalion to be in readiness for
immediate action.
4 few days ago Il mysterious dis
patch came over the wires, that
Uncle Sam was massing his troops
in the West, and it is, no doubt to
prevent an outbreak among the Ne
vada men-atarms.
Governor Adams, who is the
Grand General Mogul OF the whole
blasted works. is coming up to take
a hand. He don't like Laughton
and has no love for Parker, and
doubtless for once will allow his
sense of duty to dictate, or if mat
ters get too complicated will shirk
the grave responsibility as usual.
Never in the history Of the battle
birthed State has their been 50
grave military complication as
now confronts the public.

YxEE NEW HOSE.
rs the City Being Sw5ndled On
Its Contract

A few weeks ago the City Trus-
tees contracted to purchase 800 feet
of Eureka hose, for the use Of the
FIRE department.
E. B. Rail is the agent Of the
Eureka which arrived few days ago
and the Trustees were Of the opin-
ion that it was inferior in quality
to the sample.
An item in the last number of
the Fireman Herald, a journai
published in New York, and de-
voted to all things connected with
fire matters and fremens outfits,
contains each week list of sales of
different makes Of hose, and in a
paragraph states that r. I. Whelp-
ley, at 131 Lake street, Chicago,
has made a sale of 600 feet of Eu-
1eka hose to Cheyenne, and 500
feet of Paragon to Carson City, Ne
vada.
Under the existing state of af-
fairs an explanation is due either
from r. 7. Whelpley & Co. or E.
B. Rail. If the city contracted for
Eureka hose and are getting Para
gon, a hose both inferior in make
and cheaper IN price, the hose now
on hand ought not to be accepted.
In case of fire, the fire companies
depending upon the hose to stand a
certain pressure, might burst infe-
rior hose and thereby endanger life
and property. The city can not af-
ford to be hoodwinked in this mat
ter and the Trustees should see that
the agent of the Eureka hose in
this city furnish the kind agreed
upon and nothing else.

In the preface the author states

The book contains $500 lines Of

much poetry as that.
The book contains poetry, how

mr.. Bandmann as Hamlet.

The attendance at the Opera House last
evening was better than that OF the cpen-
inl night, and the rendition Of Hamlet,
by Mr.. Bandmann and his company, was
II possible even better than on the pre-
vious evening. Those who failed to at
Tend missed rich treat. This evening
he will appear rs Shylock, in the " Mer-
chant OF Venice" in which he is said to
even excel his matchless impersonation OF
fhe Prince of Denmark. The character
of Shylock is more in harmony with his
physique, and he portrays the jew not so
much as an avaricious monster, but rather
as human being smarting under
wrongs, that even the most orthodox
Christian could scarcely refrain from re-
sisting.
In his delineation of this character,
Bandmann is forgotten, and the audience
see only the Jew, anxious that the terms
of his bond may be fulfilled and he receive
his pound of flesh. The character oi
Portia is sustained by Miss Louise Beau
Diet, who has established her claim AS q
careful, pains taking actress, by heI
matchless impersonation OF Ophelia on
Monday and last evenings.
The Merchant OF Venice is justly
considered one of the masterpieces of tn,

but It will draw a crowded house.

Bright outlook In Florida.

Mr.. John p. Varnum, secretary of
the Board of Trade of Jacksonville,
Fla, in n recent report, takes hopeful
view of the condition and prospects Of
trade in this city, as well as of the
future o the State. Mr.. Varnum says
there is an enormus immigration pour
ing into Florida. bringing money to
pay for new houses, tools, teams and
sustenance. Most of the immigrants
are from the East, who have been
driven out by the industrial depression
there. Travel TO Florida, according to
the reports of the superintendents of
the var GUS transportation lines, was
never 30 great as it now is The in
Vulnerable hotels and boarding houses
In jacksonville are we'll filled, and new
buildings are being erected in all direc-
tions. AS result the dry goods,
groceries and boot and shoe trades are
particularly prosperous and growing
rapidly. Altogether, Mr.. Varnum
thinks the outlook in Florida was never
brighter than at present.

Give w ater 10 In fan II.

A physician of the New York Nur.
sery and Child Hospital believes,
from his practice, that infants general
ly, whether brought up at the breast
or artificially, are not supplied with
sufficient water, the fluid portion of
their food being quickly taken up,
and leaving the solid too thick to be
easily digested. In warm, dry weather
healthy babies will take water every
hour with advantage, and their frequent
fretfulness and rise of temperature is
often directly due to their not having
it. A free supply of water, and restrict
ing the frequency of nursing, has been
found at the nursery to be most effectu-
al check in case of incipient fever,
a diminished rate of mortality and
marked reduction in the number of
gastric and intestinal complaints being
attributed to this cause. In teeth. cut
ting water soothes the gums, and fire.

They Struck Wood.

Various attempts have been made from
time to time to obtain supplies of pure
water by means of artesian wells on the
arid plains of the West. In some cases
success has followed the experiments,
while In others no water fit for use has
been found. Snch u well is now under
the drill at White Plains, New, on what
is called the forty-mile desert, in the
neighborhood OF the sink of the Hum
boldt The only supply of water obtain
able is from the Truckee river, thirty five
miles distant whence 1t is hauled in
tank cars for engine and household
purposes. The well now drilling has
reached a depth Of 2,1O0 feet, and no
water has been found other than stream
of salt water at the depth of thirty eight
feet, and hot water at the depth of 6S5
feet.
A strange find was that of a stratum OF
wood ~ the depth OF | ,6l5 feet, VIII ich vas
nine feet in thickness. IL Is doubtful II
such quantity of wood has ever before
been found at such depth. How 1t
came there, under great masses ofvarious
kinds of stone, sand and gravel, may be
ex planned by geologists. As some parts
OF the superintendent mass showed indis-
putable evidences of volcanic action, the
presence OF the wood may be accounted
for as the result of some great CONFUSION
