The Post takes occasion, editorially,

is an exceptionally strong actress, and
the play "Dagma" affords full express

fairly rivals the great Clara Morris,
with the additional charm of a ready
versatility not possessed by the latter

Water Works.

Now that the city council has passed
n resolution to increase the bonded
debt to 81 100000, there is but little
fear that the legislature will grant the
request to increase the power OF the
city charter. This being tho case, and
principle object of Increasing TINS
privilege being the perfecting OF the
water system of Dallas, it is now In
order for the wise ones to begin point
ing out the best way to do this work,
and get the most and best water. The
plans heretofore laid down, Of fresh
water reservoirs three miles above the
city is familiar to every reading per-
son in Dallas, and so far is the most
preferable. A prominent water
works man said to your reporter
a day or two ago, that water works
improvements would commence
about the first of January, of course
looking to the amendments of the city
charter. Much money has been expend-
ed. and it will take good many more
thousands to complete it III accordance
with The growth of the city; and there
will be good deal of talk until the
work is definitely laid out and agreed
upon. Dallas is suffering with an in
sufficient Quantity ofwater. The riv-
or water is good for fire purposes; that
is it will put out more fire to the square
yard than any water on earth and
at the same time damage more goods
than the fire, if consumed, if such a
proposition be possible. There must
be grave and patient reasons for in
creasing the bonded debt of this or
any city, and nothing, perhaps, would
bring it about reader than an INSULT
cicnt water supply. The want of water
effects every one--poor and rich-tho
poor more than the rich-the rich suf-
iicient to give their consent to the in
crease. but there is n conservative ele-
ment in Dallas who are anxious that
this privilege shall not be abused and
that the recent system of waterworks
will be so perfected as to be complete.

NEVADA HORSE HREEI'AN"

Ry the expression. horse sense
we take to mean having enough
common intelligence to breed
horses for profit Good horses are
fast becoming scarce and high; and
a man who breeds intelligently and
with some definite object in view
will be certain to make money. The
fact should first be born in mind
that the cost Of feeding blooded,
speedy, mettlescme horse is just
trifle less than trying to keep an
old raw-bonc rack in good condl =
tion.
Nevada is particularly adapted to
horse-breeding and raises hay that
is sent for by the owners OF fast
stock in New York State, because
they recognize that the Nevada
grown grass cured at a high atI-
tude in a dry atmosphere Is not eX-
celled in the world.
With such natural advantages
one would suppose that the farmers
of this State would pay more at
tention to horse raising, but tour
of their ranches generally recalls
the fact that they have fields full
of horses which are in bad cross
between Southern California
bronco and a Mexican plug.
It is a sad commentary upon the
sense of the Nevada farmer to see
him have perhaps drove Of one
hundred and fifty horses whose av-
erage worth is about so head.
This drove of scrub animals repre-
sent many years of breeding, and
they generally wander off in the
hills and are stolen by Indians
without the owner caring two snaps
whether they are ever recovered or
not. Had he started his breeding
with blooded sire and a few good
mares, he would have horses worth
nearer $3.50 head than $lD, and
been as they say out West, well
fixed"
People make mistake in think
ing that horses for ordinary work
must be broken down old plugs.
The life of horse is short and
each year thousands are turned out
to die. More must take their places
to keep the demand supplied and
the demand for good readsters and
draft horses is constantly increas-
ing.

THE SAFE VILLAS I

The scamp who robbed the
county safe after the death OF
James Frazer the County Treasurer

robbed the county of a large sum

Frazer's money, also robbed him
of his good name, a name which

There can be no question as to
the fact that James Frazer left a
sack with $40O in it belonging to
the Red Oak Mining Company IN
the safe. There is a living witness

on an account book, locked the safe

there. There are dozen witnesses

DACGETTS BUSINESS RUINED By a
MULE.

Many years ago down in Idaho
during the gold excitement good
many men went into the country to
make money outside the gold-hunt-
ing industry. Their idea was TO
make the other fellows delye for the
gold, while they appropriated it
afterward. Rollin Daggett, after
ward Nevada's congressman, estab-
lished ferry boat on a small creek,
and named the place Deaths
Ford" at the same time inventing
a musty legend to the effect that it
was thus named because so many
lives had been lost in an attempt to
cross it. The stream was not more
than dozen yards wide, and the
water nowhere more than two feet
deep; but he rugged up fatboat,
and pulled il back and forth by
rope contrivance. Whenever the
prospectors crossed he RECALLED them
with horrible tales of the treachery
of the stream, and the remorselcss
quicksands which had drawn so
many men and mules TO terrible
deaths.
In the night when he ferried peo-
pie over he would caution them not
to get too near the edge of the boat,
as fall overheard was certain
death, By letting the dim old
lantern go out and making slow
time, he frequently impressed the
passengers with the idea that the
stream was half mile wide For
night trips he charged So, but if the
wind was high and the weather bad
he;stuck sanguine prospectors for
much larger sums. In the daytime
81 was his modest charge. lie
went along in this way for several
months, the men who rushed to the
hills looking upon him as II bene-
factor to his race by this conquer
ing of so formidable an obstacle to
travel as Deaths Ford"
One day Charley Stoddard, the
promoter, appeared on the bank
with q mule, and boarded the flat
boat to cross. In the middle of the
stream, just when the ferryman was
telling how dangerous the place was,
the mule grew FESTIVE and fell over
board. One LEG caught on rope,
and he got his head under water,
and, unable TO eXtricate himself,
was drowned. When he was cut
loose he lay there in the middle of
Deaths Ford" half out of the
water, so that all who came along
saw what miserable sham the
ferry was, and that any four"footed
animal could walk across. Daggctt
tried to get the mule away; but he
was too heavy to bulge, and so he
lay there in plain sight for weeks,
until Daggett's business as a ferry
man was ruined'--TCarson Appeal
