A PROSPEROUS COUNTY.
AMEN.

Under the avove. head this mornings
Free Press prints . lengthy article in
which it il very justly stated that "the
splendid financial condition of Exc
county is undoubtedly due, in u great
measure, to our efficient corps of county
officials" .
Anyone who has even q slight knowl =
edge of the ways and means by which
the financial prosperity Of q county is
secured Is aware that TO An efficient
County Assessor, more, perhaps, than
to any other single county officer, due
credit should be given for this state of
affairs; and while we do not wish to de-
tract one jot or title from the need of
praise justly bestowed upon OF: county
officials by the Free Press, yet any fair
minded person who reads the article in
question, be he Demo crat Or Rspubli-
can, cannot fail to notice the studied
care with which the name of A. w.
Hesson, Assessor of Elko county, is
omitted from the list of 'our efficient
corps of county officials" This omis-
sion we can account for on no other
hypothesis than the fuot that Mr.. Hes
son is Democrat, and which omission
we consider an exhibition of political
prejudice anything but commendable
In county newspaper. "Houor to
whom honor il due" should be be-
slowed upon every efficient public Of
hcer without regard TO his political pref
erences or opinions, and we, in common
with the people OF the county generally,
believe that the financial prosperity OF
Eiko county is due pri ncipally to IL
faithful. honest and competent Board of
County Commissioners, a careful and
Conscientious Sheriff. together with an
efficient County Assessor without whose
hearty cooperation the present healthy
state of our financial affairs could not
exist.

The IeomssmOSf faint.

1t is recalled now that Bismarck,
who was already the chief man in
Prussia in 1858, strenuously opposed
the marriage of the Crown Prince with
the English Princess, saying that he
was against any "blood alliance with
those scrofulous Guelphs." The ex-
listing situation is a strange retributive
comment on that utterance. Scrofula,
or that worse allied disease with
which so many royal strains of blood
are contaminated, lays heavy hand
on the Hohenzolerns at San Reno
and Berlin alike, but the taint has not
come from England. A fact which has
been privately known here for some
months may now properly be men
toned. The present aged Empress OF
Germany, mother of the Crown
Prince, has been victim to heredit-
ary scorfula, or cognate malady, for
many years. She got it from her
mother, Marie Paulowna, who was a
daughter of the crazy Gar Paul, one
of the most thoroughly diseased men
of his generation. All OF Paul's
daughters transmitted the taint to their
UtSCGuudutSs OllS VI bilCll, AuAC
Paulowna, was mother Of the present
King of Holland, and the recent death
of both his sons and the extinction OF
his male line was attributed to this
In the male Romanof line the same
malady caused the death OF the Czare-
witch, who was the elder brother of
tho present Gear, and now renders
it very doubtful ii the present youth
full Czarevitch will ever reach
manhood. In the Hohenzollern
case, not only the Grown Prince is
suffering from this hereditary taint,
but his son William, who in few
weeks or months will be Emperor, is
hereditarily deaf, and was born with
a mere shapeless ball of flesh where
the right hand ought to be. The
Crown Princes only sister is the
Grand Duchess OF Baden, and of her
two sons one died last month, and
the other is ill at Cannes and not ex-
pected to recover, both from scrofu-
fous developments. The malady
can, in truth, be traced all through
the Almanack Gotha among descend
ants of the Czar Paul. The disease
only showed itself in the Empress
Augusta when she had advanced in
life, since when she has worn high
dresses, and frequently was not visi-
BILE to the public for months at time.

Effects of Plants Upon sleep.

The question is a very important
one to the banker, the student, the
typewriter, the hack driver, the cow
boy, the burglar and to the members
of all other learned professions, and
more especially to the policeman who
sleeps in the open air. When the
question, "Are flowers perilous in a
sleeping-room ?" has been disposed OF
the next problem that should engage
the attention o; the scientists should
be, "What effect on the plants does
it have to keep them over night in the
sleeping-room il the inmate has used
whisky for the purpose of changing
his breath ?" Perhaps putting plants,
cereals, etc., in the room Of sleeper
will cause them to expand, as they
were supposed to do under blue glass.
We fatter ourselves that we can
assist the scientists in their wild
search for truth.
In Texas, farmers who raise water.
melons in the vicinity of a negro
camp-meeting have noticed that
sleeping in watermelon patch with
shotgun causes the melons to ripen
much sooner than they otherwise
would. On the other hand when
nobody sleeps in a watermelon patch
the fruit dwindles away over night, sc
that the melons are not visible in the
morning. Unless somebody sleeps il
the melon patch they are never liable
to ripen at all. The same phenomen
ON has been observed in a peact
orchard located near a boarding
school. The fruit never natures un
less somebody sleeps in the orchard
with dog or gun.

THE RATS OF PARIS.
Means Taken to Rid the French
Capital of Rodents.

There are two species of rats in
Paris, a black sort which infests gar
rets and old houses, and gray kind
that is found in cellars and swarms in
all the sewers. This sewer kind is the
most voracious and dangerous, and
its ravages cost the city large sum
annually. Wherever there is under
ground shelter there is family of
these rats, and they multiply with
astonishing rapidity. Cellars, sewers,
catacombs are their abodes. They
dig passageways through thick walls,
undermine foundations and do a
great deal of damage. Many at
tempts have been made to ex-
terminate them il the sewers, but
always without success. Poisens
.of all kinds, PHOSPHORUS, arsenic,
prussic acid and strychnine have been
set for them, but they wont touch the
bait. One inventor thought he had
hit on the very thing when he pro.
posed to fry pieces of sponge in lard
and scatter them about, under the ex-
pectation that the rats would eat
them and that the expansion OF the
SpOuSGS III tiltlT StOuldCuS WOulu
prove fatal. His theory was all right
except on one point--the rats declined
to eat the pieces of sponge. AS for
the traps they would perhaps answer
if it were possible to set enough to
catch all the rats in the sewers with
out bankrupting the city in their pur-
chase.
The plan which works the best is to
hunt the pests with dogs trained for
rat-killing. Every now and then
gangs of men go down into the sewers,
and, by following several converging
galleries, manage to drive whole ar
mics of rats toward a single point,
where these dogs are let loose,
and great slaughter follows. The
men who keep these rat-dogs arc
paid one cent for every rodent de-
stroyed. Another class OF rat catchers
operate on the streets after nightfall,
but their aim is to capture the animal
alive, SO as to sell it to the owners of
terriers. These fellows receive 10
cents q dozen for live rats, and are
permitted to keep the dead bodies,
which have a market value OF from 8
to cents, the skins being excellent
for kid gloves, while the bones can be
made up into tooth-picks and ear
cleaners. Paris Cor. New Orleans

| by the active girl She played with
him, plagued him and tortured him
as cat would mouse-until at last
bleeding and sore, and completely ex-
hausted with fatigue and pain, the
animal would fight no more.
Three wild bulls were worn out in
this way by the fair Castilian, and
then, wearied as she must have been
came the climax in the fulfillment of
her advertised obligation to kill bull
| with a sword scarcely two feet long,
while standing on stills directly in
front of him. The animal selected
for this deadly contest was beautiful
specimen of his race, black, agile,
savage and wild, and he was no sooner
in the arena than ready for battle.
After he had been permitted two
or three charges to warm him for his
work, the Governor of the district,
who presided on the occasion, gave a
signal, and the bugle sounded the
death CALL" Even the habitues Of
the bull ribg turned pale, and the ST.
lence of the grave reigned throughout
the vast amphitheatre. The slight
young girl, with stills securely
fastened to her limbs, received the
short sword, saluted the Governor, and
turned toward her enemy with a
little shout OF defiance, waving her
scarlet cloak to excite his anger.
at this moment the distance between
them was about two hundred feet.
The toro, quivering with excitement
and paving the earth in the fierceness
OF his rage, needed no second invita-
ton. With cleaning eyes and head
lowered to the ground he started at
full speed for the object of his hate.
She calmly waited until he was within
twenty feet, when bracing herself
firmly on her short stills, she held the
little sword at shoulder-height, ready
for his coming. Whatever may have
been her thoughts in that supreme
moment it was fearful time for the
spectators. When the huge brute was
within four feet she threw herself sud-
denly for ward, gave one quick thrust
with the sword, and without waiting
to note the effect of the blow, swung
around on her stills and again saluted
the Governor. In the twinkling Of
an eye she turned to face the
bull, and just as she did SO he
dropped dead-so close to her that,
without moving from her position, she
placed one foot upon the neck of her
now PROSTATE foe. The sharp blade
directed by the skilliul hand of this
wonderfully self possessed girl had
severed the spinal cord and death was
instantaneous. For moment the
great audience sat hreathless, as if
paralyzed, and then such shower OF
gold and silver coins fell around the
victorious toreadora as must have en-
riched her for life.

strange Story of a soldier-For 90
Years Did Not Know who He

strange story of a Soldier-For go
Years Did Not Know who He
Was.
The strange case of Hugh Thomp-
son has Just passed through the Pen
sion Office. It is remarkable story.
THOMPSON left home boy of Is to
march with the Union forces. At the
battle of Chickamauga he was
wounded in the head, and from that
time until 1872 his life is blank to
him and his friends.
The army record shows that he was
at the battle of Chickamauga. After
that he was reported missing and un
til a few months ago his family
mourned him as dead. Under this
impression his father applied for a
pension in 1875, but was refused be-
.cause he was not dependent at the
time of the supposed death OF his son.
From the battle OF Chickamauga un-
iii he was restored to his friends
Hugh Thompson did not know his
own nance. Until 1872 he had no
consciousness whatever. Where he
snent the interval he does not know.
In that wear he was walking near
the little town of Cleveland.
IN Illinois. when the memories
OF the war returned. He did not
know his name. He was clad in old
soldier clothes, with a blue soldier
overcoat. He dimly recalled great
battle in which his comrades were
hard pressed, and that was all. 10
his mind the battle was just over.
From that time until last year he was
a ceaseless wanderer. He had intel
lioence enough to care for horses and
de odd chores. but his name, his
family and his regiment were all a
blank. In his wanderings he made
his home in Michigan, Wiscon-
sin Illinois, Iowa and Kansas, pick
ing up three wives, all OF whom
are dead. His misfortunes Appealed
to the old soldierso They cared Tor
him and made many efforts to learn
his history. Among them ne was
known as "Shorty," cold Reliable" F"
and the "Nameless Soldier" In a
little Testament to which he clung
through all his misfortunes was writ
ten the name OF Thompson, and this
was supposed to be his name. Some
time last year he was at soldiers
meeting in Michigan.
His story was printed in loca
naner. This found it's way to Var
Vert county, Ohio, where the elder
Thompson lived. Hope was reviyet
in the old man, who had mourned hi
son as dead for twenty-five years. ~

A SKILLFUL MEXICAN LADY
Scnorita Hernandez, the Fam Ous
Female Bull Fighter.

Female Bull k1EhIers
Speaking of bull fights one soon be-
comes hardened to that sort of thing
in Mexico, and even to relish the ex-
element, but when the promoter of
the cruel sport is woman, as is not
unfrequently the case, there is some
thing so revoltingly unnatural about
it that the most sophistical American
turns away in disgust. 1t was my
fortune, some time ago, to see Sef1-
orita Hernandez, the most famous fe-
male bull fighter in the world. So
fearfully exciting was the So
called "sport" that the 5000 people
in the Plaza de Toros were upon their
feet in state of widest confusion,
men yelled themselves hoarse, and
women fainted-all because a slender
young girl had nerve enough to throw
herself in the path of a fierce bull and
kill him by a single thrust. 1t was
her farewell performance, and the
strongest and fiercest toros in the
country had been advertised for. To
make the novelty greater it was
announced that Sehorita Herman
dez would fight upon sti,ts,
armed with only short sword, and
with none OF the usual defenses and
loopholes OF escape-so that in every
case it was victory or death to the
brave girl. The animals provided
were small, active and wholly un-
tanned, and the horns of each were
trimmed and polished till the points
were bright as needles and almost as
sharp.
Never did veteran picador perform
more expert work than was coolly ex
ecuted by the youthful seiiorita. Al
the bull, mad with rage, woule
make his furious charge, sh,
stood perfectly still until he had ap
preached within three feet, when
suddenly springing aside as the ami
