Assessment Roll for 1855

The tax list of Lyon county for the veal
1888 has been printed and shows considera.
BILE gain over the list of last year. The
amount of taxable property in the county this
year is over million and half. Dayton
District has $72S939; Mason Valley, 1871.
735; Silver City and Mound House, $500, $780,
Smiths Valley, $45,SS4; Sutro, $S3, I2I; and
Como, $3.50. This brings the Roll consid.
erably above what it was last year after raises
had been made by the Board of Equalization.
There is some personal property in shape Of
mortgages yet to be added to this years Roll,
and while there may be few raises made by
the Board it is not likely that there will be
any reductions made; therefore the Roll will
probably foot up about $r,5Io,ooo. This is
an increase of nearly half million in the
six years that Assessor CARING has been in
office, and shows that property is gradually
increasing in value in the county, and that he
is aware of it.

The discovery by the inhabitants of To-
cality hitherto unvisited by the pestilent
scourge Of fever and ague, that it exists in
their very midst, is decidedly startling. Such
discoveries are made at every season, in every
part of the Union. Subsequently, whenjt is
ascertained, as it invariably is at such times,
through the valuable experience of some one
who has been benefited and cured, that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is a thoroughly efhca.
cious eradicator of the malarial poison, and a
means of certifying the system against it, a
feeling of more security and tranquility
reigns throughout the whole neighborhood.
Besides the febrile forms Of malarial disease
dumb ague and ague cake are removed by the
potent action Of the Bitters, to which science
also gives its sanction as remedy for rheum-
atism, dyspepsia, constipation, liver COM
plant, debility, kidney troubles, and all dis
eases impairing the organs of digestson and
assimilation.

Suicide OF Maud Harkins.

Last Monday afternoon about o'clock
Miss Maud Harkins committed suicide at
her home in Virginia City by taking large
dose OF strychnine. The Harkins family for
many years were residents Of Silver City,
this county, where Dan Harkins, the father
of Maud, carried on the business of black
smithing. The only cause known for the
young lady committing the rash act was
family difficulties. Harkins was at one time
thought to be insane. He was very severe
with his children. Maud had but recently
returned from San Francisco and was about
to resume her labors in the Virginia laundry,
where she had worked before she went be-
low. Miss Harkins worked a short time al
the Union Hotel before she went to Virginia.
She was q bright, comedy girl, ~ years Of
age, and leaves many friends. The family
has the sympathy Of all who know the cir
cumstances.

lightning Strikes Como.

During the thunder shower of last Wed
nesday lightning struck two houses in Como.
A bolt went down the stovepipe in Tom
Hills saloon and wrecked the stove, and
also interrupted card game that was going
on at a table near the stove. Tom Hill had
his arm paralyzed for some time and the
cards were scattered all over the room.
Further down the street cabin owned by
Bill Annis was struck and a stove therein
was completely demolished. The bolt Of
lightning passed down into the cellar and
tore large hole in the stone wall. Marshall
Luttrell left the cabin but a few moments
before the lightning struck. No other dam
age was done. Hill has recovered from his
shock.

THE MORMON TEST OATH.
A Citizen OF Lincoln County Testing
its ConstitutiOnality.

According to the Pioch Record George
Whitney, citizen of the United States, ap
piled for registry in Lincoln county and was
refused by A. NJ Findlay, Registry Agent
at Panaca. The refusal was on the ground
that Whitney is Mormon and declined to
take the oath prescribed in an act of the
Legislature in 1887. Mr.. Whitney applied
to the Supreme Court for a writ of manda-
mus compelling the agent to register his
name and asks that the matter be heard on
the cath instant.
1t is not alleged that Mr. Whitney has
violated any law of the land, but is simply
debarred from exercising the right OF an
American citizen because he is Mormon.
or course there is not, and there cannot be,
but one opinion among those who believe in
freedom of conscience upon this question,
and that is that the Legislature cannot de
