A Land Boom Hustled.

Several months ago. says the Carson
Appeal, several people in this City made
extensive purchases Of land In Nye
county.
They took up several thousand acres
and paid rs cents down.
The land however was not approved
by the Government and the parties who
made the entries were waiting for the
Government approval that they might
pay the balance.
The Nye county assessor assessed the
land at 81 25 an acre.
The parties who had made the entries
did not care TO pay taxes On land that
they had no title to or even q guarantee
that they could get a title, and so they
6led a protest with the Board Of Equal.
cation. The Board sustained the Assessor
and several parties threw up the land
rather than pay for what they considered
an unjust tax.
They were proposing to invest in more
Nye county land but owing to the action
Of the Board have determined to let that
section alone in the future. A land boom
was under way until the Board rendered
the decision and the boom may now be
considered q collapsed proposition.

A CHINE
Arrest of n Woman for the Murder

Early in December, 1887, q man Civ.

their home was In 9 constant state oil

one morning when.ithe wife ran to a
~neighbor's, crying that her husband had
taken q dose Of morphine and was dy-
ing. Doctors we're called, but they were
too late to ave the mans life.
The Coroner took possession OF the
body, and passed over the case lightly,
as all the evidence secured pointed
to an ordinary case Of suicide, and
after q few days the rumors started at
the time subsidized, and the public forgot
the case entirely. and soon afterward the
widow left for Oregon.
Some ten days since, however. Prose-
cutting Attorney Ronald received q letter
from Sheriff Cowles OF Walla Wslla in
quiring about Sommeryille and his death.
Later q second letter was received from
Sheriff Bowles stating that for months
past he had had q clew leading to the
fact that Sommerville had been poisoned
as the result Of q sudden fit Of jealousy,
and word was received to-day that this

A Few Good Reasons Why all should
Consult Reputable Physicians.
"If when q person feels Ill he should
60 at once 10 q physician, instead OF pois-
oning his system with the hundred and
one remedies which friends are only too
eager to recommend, he would saw a lot
Of money and run no risk Of endangering
his health"
This bit Of good advice was given to q
reporter the other day by q well-known
medical man. He instsnced the case of
a friend who suffered unspeakable agony
for weeks with 9 earbuncle on his hand
before he sought skilled advice. There
were 30 many things recommended to
him that he had difficulty to make q
choice between them. One oficious
friend told him to take the heart Of an
onion and make q poultice Of it. After
using up nearly q bushel OF onions he
found no relief, when another friend sug.
gested to him that IL he tried q plaster Of
soft soap and salt mixed it would cure
him 10 one night. He tried it, and
thought he would die before morning.
At the break Of the next day he thought
his hand would be burned off from bath.
ing the member in boiling milk. the
remedy presented by some n else. An.
other told him to try q poultice Of witch
hazel, but he found no relief. The last
"home remedy" he tried wss recon-
mended by an old lady whose husband,
she said, had a carbuncle just like his,
and this cured him. II was to place the
inside skin of an egg on the carbuncle
and hold it in place until dry. He tried
il. but Ii nearly unbalanced his mind.
At last he sought q doctor, who, upon O
close examination, said IL ought TO have
been lanced a week before. and, suiting
the action to the word, cut II open. He
felt immediate relief, and that night he
enjoyed a sound sleep for the first time
in nearly three weeks.

II is asserted that tobacco WAS IN use
in China from the earliest times, but we
have no certain knowledge that such was
the case. Ii it was so the knowledge Of
the plant and its uses mus, have been
carefully guarded BY the Chinesc' Tor u
vas not introduced into any other orien-
tai nation until after the discovery Of
America. When Columbus first landed
on the island Of San Domingo, in the
West Indies, be found tobacco 10 use
among the natives .here, who smoked ~
when made into small Cylindrical rolls
and wrapped in maize leaf. The Indians
ON the continent smoked in q pipe, and
among all the tribes, from Peru to upper
Canada, the first discoveries found the
plant to be in use, aud to have known to
them from so early a period that the
time Of it's first discovery was now
The smoking of tobacco with the Indians
psrtook largely Of the nature of . rellg-
ious rite. The seeds Of tobacco plant
were first brought to Europe by Gonzalo
Hernandez de 0viedo, who introduced II
into Spain, where it was first cultivated
As an ornamental plant till a traveller who
had noted it's use among the American
Indians called attention to its narcotic
properties. The name is said to have
been taken from Tabacco, a province oil
Yucstan, though others derive it from
Tobago, an island in the Caribbean sea,
yet Others from Tobasco. in the gulf OF
Florida. The practice Of smoking the
dried leaf Of the plant became general IN
Spain, and it's manufacture into snuff
followed soon after. II was introduced
into Italy in 1860, and about the same
time into France. The first to bring the
plant into the latter country was jean
Nicot, the French Ambassador to Portu'
gal, in whose honor tobacco received its
botanical name nicotiano, whence the
name nicotine, applied to a poisonous ex'
trat from the plant. Tobacco is said &c
have been first introduced into
England by Sir Walter Raleigh.
From these beginnings the use OF the
the weed spread over the entire
eastern continent. II did not become
known In Asia until the seventeenth
| century; but was taken up by the Orien
| tai nations with great eagerness, and
| they are now the greatest smokers in the
world.-New York Graphic.

cheese Making I'm Nevada.

The Reno Gazette gives the following
example Of what may be done In cheese
making in this State: From 260 cows on
the old Ohpir ranch in Washoe Valley,
Hon. Theodore Winters makes q tons of
cheese . month. for which he finds ready
sale at q fair profit. He thinks Truckee
Meadows would be as good q place for
making cheese as there is In America,
aud il would have a steady market at a
price which high freight rates would do
much to protect. Milk right from the
cow would cost II cents . pound, or 10
trade 10 pounds Of milk would be worth
n pound Of cheese. With seven milk.
ers al so q month in Summer, and So
in Winter, and one cheese maker at SIS
a month, 260 COWS will pay q steady
profit. Mr.. Winters says he would start
a cheese factory in Reno if he could buy
milk.

RESULT OF TuE ELECTION rs
NEVADA.

This State has gone as il usually goes
when the Republicans make an effort to
carry il. Nevada is, and has always
been, q Republican State. 1t is doubly
sure for that party whenever the sack is
introduced. as ii was very generally
throughout the State, in the contest just
closed. The Democratic State Central
Committee hadn't sufficient money to pay
for their printing. On the political is
sues, Cassidy, the Democratic candidate
for Congress, was the only man who
ssumped the State for the Democrats.
There were u or ii Republican stumpers
out against him, including the two
United States Senators Of that party.
The reshls is what we have expected for
three weeks it would be. Harrison has
carried the State by about l, 400; Cassidy
is defeated for Congress by 500 or 900
while Seawell probably shares a like fate
by from 800 10 coo. The Republican
party wa never better organized moi
party lines closer drawn in this State
than they were in the election oil last
Tuesday. The Democrats as a rule stood
manfully by their colors, though at al
points struggling against superior mum
bers. to say nothing Of the corporation
and money power Of the State. Nevads
is not a good place for the relaxation Of
Democratic hopes. MIR. Cassidy, speak
ing for himself, extends his sinceresl
thanks TO all friends who stood by him IL
the race, and would have it understood
that he accepts the result and the situs-
ton with all becoming grace.

ROW FOE THE BOOM.

orators in this State in the late contest
are to come true things are to hum in
every mining camp in Nevada before many
months shall have passed. Silver is to
90 to 81. 20 at q bound, lead to 6 cents a
pound and all Of the idle mills and mines
and furnaces are to be set in motion at
once. Miners wages will be restored to
81 a day and coal burners to 50. We
shall petition President-elect Harrison
to kindly put a bonanza in u old Pew
terinctum mine with the greatest posi-
bic alacrity. We need il in our BUSH
ness. Cause and effect, natural resources
and the immutable law Of supply and de-
mand must all stand back in the presence
Of Republican prophecy. The gullibility oil
the great public is something wonderful
even in this enlightened period in the
worlds history. But We shall all see the
right and wrong Of things before the

Foolish California Democrats. They
sought to make the Chinese question the
paramount issue, whereas the tariff was
the real big thing. If there had been no
tariff in the contest, handsome political
dividends might have been gotten out Of

ridiculous to have expected John to pay

Providence, r. l., Nov. l.-Jsmes NJ.
Eddy, who has been digging for Captain
Kidd's treasure and who turned up an
iron kettle full Of Spanish silver coins on
the beach adjoining his farm opposite the
Summer resort, Wessport, arrived at his
home in Johnston yesterday with his
wealth. He denies that his grandfather
ever had anything to do with pirates, or
that his father ever told him Of the buried
treasure. He said that two years ago be
became the possessOr Of a piece Of parch.
ment that apparently had served IS .
drum-heAd, and which had been con.
verted into a chart purporting to describe
the location Of three lots Of buried gold,
silver and other v~aluables, cached by q
pirate many years ago. The lines were
drawn as though with q sharpened stick.
On the chart were three points designat-
ing the burial places OF the wealth.
The starting place was Q rock on Horse
Neck Point, q wild piece OF land. Nhen
this parchment was found Eddy was con-
fdent il was q valuable document. tie
determined that no ono should know OF
his plans, and without imparting . hint
Of what he was about he began opera
tions at the place indicated. He readily
| found the rock, bat his lsbors during the
Summer Of 1857 were not rewarded.
During the past Summer he continued his
labors. He proceeded cautiously and
patiently, and worked his way in the
course directed, and last Monday made
the discovery. He declares that it viii
be an easy matter to find the remainder
| Of the wealth.
One of the two undiscovered treasures
is stated in the chart TO be gold coin and
| the other diamonds or jewelry. un.
earthed treasure, Mr.. Eddy says, will
stay where ID is until he gets ready &c
| dig ID up. The dates on the silver range
from 1881 to 1851, showing that it is moi
q part Of Captain Kids long-sough'

ported last week. but that he has gone
East. The Carson Tribune is reliably in.
formed that Mrs. Dickey a few days ago
discovered $50 in greenbacks In q toy
bank belonging to her little boy, and it Is
almost certain that Mr. Dickey put the
there before leaving home. 1t is
also stated that Dickey's boat was not
