Every one in Carson was startled
and saddened yesterday when it
was talked of about the city that
Miss Henrietta Nevers was dead.
The young lady grew up from child
hood in Carson City, and her bright
intelligence and sunny character
won the hearts of all who knew her.
She was finely educated, and nature
had endowed her with unusual in
tellectual gifts. Although she had
been sick with lung and throat
troubles over two weeks her illness
was not considered dangerous, and
her death was quite unexpected.
1t is sad to see one cut down
where youth has just touched its
prime, and one also whose bright
smile has so long been familiar to
everyone. She leaves an aged
father and mother, and a younger
brother. The funeral will take
place on Sunday.

8 NEW EODGE.
The Ingenious F.anacr IN
Which "a Lawyer Pre-.
soDted Esss Case.

Before the Board OF Pardons al
their last session, Judge 7. e. Hay
don, OF Reno, appeared in behalf oil
several applicants for pardon, and
in presenting the claims of his eli
ents for clemency did so IN rather
novel way. One of his men was
in for burglary for seven years, and
the other for honse-breaking for ten
years. Both went from Washe coun-
ty, and Mr.. Hayden wished to show
the Board that the sentences were
unusually severe and having al
ready served the State more than
the average punishment imposed
by the State courts upon this mis-
guided class of individuals, his cl:-
ents were entitled to discharge. To
show this he made an abstract OF
all the sentences imposed for bur-
glary and housekeeping since the
year 1865 to the present time, with
the number of years each were SEN
fenced, and obtained the following
result: Whole number oil convic-
tons, 1928; aggregate number OF
years sentenced, 297%; average
for each q years. There were 45
house breakers, sentenced for los
years, an average OF y years each.
OF these As house breakers, Is were
sente.ced for SO years, from Wash
oe county, an average of 1928 years
each; While 81 from other coun-
ties were sentenced for As years
or an average OF II years each.
For burglary there was 80 convlc-
tons, with an aggregate sentence
OF III years, an average OF 2 l-I6
years each. OF these two were SER
fenced to ~ years, and 2 for II
years each, and 10 for year each.
Mr.. Hayden succeeded in obtaining
an unconditional pardon for mis- cli-
ents, and whether the figures OBJ
tanned had any weight with the
Board or not is, Of course, not
known, but whether SO or not, the
Judges labor is not lost, inasmuch
as he succeeded In digging up q
good paper item.

SAM sMALL's BROTHER.
why Did God Make % Much Out
doors? Two vYo,Ben's Experieneos.


| "Sam Small, Evangelist!
| The proverbial philosophy of "Old
ST." the venerable plantation darkey,
who gave to the world through the
medium of Small's pen maxims Of
worldly wisdom, clothed in q verbiage
of irresistible humor, has found .
permanent place in humorous Gtera-
ture.
Great surprise was shown when it
was announced that he, having been
! converted under the ministrations of
"San Jones" would become an evan
gelist.
! At first thought, humorist in the
pulpit seems incongruous. Is it
really SO?
Ne doubt the mere bukoon attempt
ing to turn mems hearts to solemn
truths would meet with only con-
tempt. But truth is not. hidden in
gloom. Genuine humor frequently
illustrates and fastens in the mind
bits of wisdom that would otherwise
pass UNDECIDED.
In his euiogy of Henry Ward
Bsecher. Rev. DR.. Parker says:
"WheneveF he came among men, he
brought June sunshine and music,
and made even Responding and surly
men feel that fuller and warmer
summer, the Kingdom of Heaven
itself was 'at hand" That is genial
christianity.
MIR. Small belongs to a witty family.
He has a brother connected with
Annoy Knox's and Fat Contri-
butor's Ieros Siftings, q paper which
has had phenomenal success in the
field of numerous literature. Mr..
Frank A. Small is the present re-
preventative of that popular paper in
England, and, like his distinguished
brother, he takes deep interest in
the welfare Of other people.
Under date of 4S Porten Road,
Kensiagton w. London, Eng, Sept.
q, 1887, he writes "While at Yalding
in Kent yesterday, / met Prof. S.
Williams, Head Master of tho Cleaves
Endowed school. In the course of
conversation about America, Prof.
Williams remarked that Warmers
safe cure had been of great benefit to
his wife, who had been much troubled
with disordered liver. Warmers
safe cure Ian American preparatory
was all she had taken, and she had
experienced none of her old trouble
for some months past.
Mrs. Annie Jenness- Miller, editor
of New York Dress, and a very po-
pular woman in the fashionable world
says in her own magazine for October:
warmers safe cure is the only
medicine l ever take or recommend.
In every instance it gives new energy
and vitality to all my powers"
This distinguished woman also says
that for ladies this great remedy is
peculiarly effective"
sam Small is likely to succeed as a
moral teacher. When we remember
how near together in human nature
lie the fountains OF laughter and of
tears, the deep effect his discourses
must nave OIL the masses can easily
DC imagined.
"Why did God make 30 much out,
doors ?' exclaimed little girl. We
know not. He has made it and we
should CROWN it, broad charitable
and genial, ju iging everything by
merit, not by prejudice.

A Clubhouse CASE.
Tho killing Of Murphy in

Tho Killing OF Murphy II
Aurora.
The case of T. NJ. Keith. sen
fenced to imprisonment for life TO,
the killing OF Murphy in Aurora two
years ago, came up before the BOARD
of Pardons and was refused, the
Governor alone voting for the par
don.
The case was one of the most pc
culiar of Nevada's many homicldes.
Murphy, the man who was killed,
staggered into a house in Aurora on
the morning of January 1st, about
4 o'clock, and said he was shot.
His story was incoherent, as he
was very drunk. Before dying he
said that he met Keith and two
other men, and Keith shot linn
near Cobb's stable. After the shoot
ing no said that he staggered to a
watering trough to get drink, and
leaning over the trough lost his
false teeth in the water.
At first he was positive that Keith
shot him, but just before his death
he was not so positive, but said he
thought he was the man. He could
not identify Keith's companions.
1t was also shown that early in the
evening Keith borrowed a six
shooter and lost it.
In his evidence Keith swore that
he knew nothing of the killing, and
had no luminosity against Murphy.
He had borrowed a revolver and
gone out to relocate a mining claim,
it being the first OF the year. His
companions swore that he fired the
revolver off three times as a signal
to a man on a hill some distance
away. Several witnesses testified to
this. He drank some after he fired
the signals, and lost the revolver.
The owner of the revolver was posi-
tive that it was a Al calibered Colt.
Search was made for Murphy's
false teeth, but they were not found.
No one heard shot that night
where Murphy said he was shot.
Mr.. Bartine appeared in keith's
behalf before the Board, and intto-
duced Maish, the gunsmith, as a
witness. Maish swore that the bull
let extracted by surgeon from
body was never fired
from a Al calibered revolver, as it
was too small, also that it was
never fred IRON Colts revolver,
as a Colt arm has six grooves in the
barrel, whereas the bullet in evil
1ence before the Court had seven
grooves.
This evidence, however, was not
i'm the Aurora trial. The
.wo men whom Murphy said were
With Keith were never produced.
Judge Murphy sentenced the de-
'endant for life. His character had
always been good, and the opinion
n Aurora is that there is some mys-
erious link in the evidence which
when produced will clear Keith.
He was able to prove his where
.bouts all that night, except for
bout three-quarters OF an hour.

A Question of Cleanliness.

Smash the bottlesl That's the latest war
cry. To explain: There is no telling for
what and how soon bottle is to be used
again after being once used. The bottle when
new from the glassworks was filed with
beer, or with medicine, or with wine, or with
oxahc acid, or with tooth powder, OF with
anything else out Of an endless list. Well, it
was used to keep its contents till emptied
That, the reformers contend, ought to de-
finitely end the days of usefulness of that
particular bottle 1t ought to be broken and
crushed into smithereens. But 1t isn't. We
are living in a very utilitarian age, and in
stead of breaking a bottle that has once been
used, it is used over and over again for all
sorts of things, and in all sorts Of houses,
until after, perhaps, years and years of SER
vice, it accidently breaks, and is done with
