How We Nee Il.

The Carson Appeal advises Nevada's
newspaper publishers to assign their
claims on account of the recent cleo
ton to some individual and bring
suit against the State for their just
claims. We do not agree with the
Appeal in this mode of procedure. We
have no claim against the State. We
did all the advertising and printing
for the late special election in this
county at the instance and request of
the Board of Commissioners, through
their Clerk, and little through the
Sheriff. Our bill was fair and legal
the same as We huve always charged
for such work. The Board allowed
it, and 1t was audited by the Auditor.
1t Is claim against White Pine
county that no juggling set of State
officials can rob Us out of. All the
other claims In this county incurred
in that election stand on the same
footing.
But the county has good cause of ac-
tion against the State, who by special
legislative enactments, assumed the
payment To- the counties Of these claims
mot Ia individuals. The proper thing
is for our Board of Commissioners 10
bring suit against tile State Controller
and compel him to show cause Why
he will not obey tlle law, which Is
plain and explicit, Instead at setting
himself up as constitutional ex-
FOUNDER The Courts have always had
thin latter duty assigned ~ them. Ii
the law is unconstitutional but that il
not a special prerogatiye of the State
Controller to decrcc). then let the
counties pay the just claims of their
citizens, and be duuc with il.
We are willing 10 contribute To the
Board our pro rate of the expense u
institute and maintain such action
against the Controller, whom we be-
licve the proper party IL commence
proceedings against in these Cases.
Our county officers obeyed the law,
noY make the State officers, whose
acts nrc above and outside the law,
carry out their part of its provisions.
II i. dangerous precedent to allow
State officers tn presume what part or
or parts "f Jaw they consider con-
stitutional aud what unconstltutiopa ;
aud what parts they will obey, and
what ignore.

A $40. 90 Fire Ia Eureka.

The Sentinel of last Saturday says:
About 30 O'Clock last Monday even
iny n tire hrnkc out in double
wnoden building on Edwards street,
bclnnging To Mrs. J. Stfaus. One oi
the houses were occupied by her son
and his family. and the either was un-
occupied. Wh.n tlc fire broke out
they were away attending ball. aDd
M nnr WAS known to have been in
either building. The insidrs of both
buildings were 3adly burned and
CHARGED, AMI all the furniture and
bedding WAS 81 much burned rs In he
perfectly valueless. Mrs. Siraus claims
her los to be $l0.000. with an in>ui-
ance NJ about $1,000 She also claims
! thnt SHE had costumes that we've worth
$1,000. upon which there was no in.
surance. The cause of the fire, ac-
cording to Mrs. Straus' theory is, that
her daugh:cr-in-law went down TO q
storeroon in the basement with n
| lighted candle, for the purpose of find
| ing AN umbrella, and IN some manner
must have set the fire. Luckily, there
was binding snowstorm at the time
which WAS instrumental in keeping
the fire from Speeding To the adjacent
buildings Had .he night been cold
and windy, there is no telling how
great the conflagrstion might have
! been.

Pronounced en- Josiah and EIIsab beth

On the 23d instant at Elko. ,Iugde
Bigelow. in pronouncing tie death
sentence on the cruel murderers of
Faucet, said:
1.-THE most painful and solemn dnty that .
Judge car be called upon to perform now de-
wolves upon me, and that 10 to pronounce
the highest pcnalty which the law afixes as
punishment for crime, upon two human be.
ings, and one of them . woman. The mind
naturally recoils with horror at the thought
that any one can become 50 lost to the COM
mon instinct of humanity, which teaches us
rather to relieve than add TO the suferirgs
of others. a. to be guilty Of the deliberate.
premeditated and cruel murder of another.
And yet experience teaches US that sometimes
this Is the case; but seldom indeed do we find
that a woman has been the perpeuator. To
her We look for everything that 10 gontle and
kind and tender, and VIC can scarcely conceive
her capable Of committing the highest crime
known to the law. But that such Is the case
here, it seems to me there can be no reason
able doubt.
ITO be sure no human being except the
defendants, and possibly their son, witnessed
the Death OF Miles Faucet. They alone know
how 1t occurred; and yet the circumstances
surrounding them, together with their swn
admissions, judged by he common expert.

Trcfles Doutro and Alex Doutre were
placed on trial, charged with the muir
der of Thomas Noakes, on July 20,
1888. in Willard county, the kill ng

The Phoebe Record says: Last Sat.
urday morning, at the Yuba mine,
while bois-irg two men and some
tools, the cylinder head of the engine
blew out. Angelo Clark was in charge
and with great presence Of mind,
amid clouds of steam he rushed to the
brake anG succeeded in holding the
bucket stationary in the shaft until
assistance arrived. His prompt action
prevented a fall which must have
proved fatal to the men in the bucket.
No cause for the accident is assigned {.

Hurry Up, the Mills want the water.

AS intimated in late issue of the
News, that the 100000 Water
Storage Act was especially intended
for HE benefit nf the ore mills on the
Carson river, and not for the reclama-
ton Of arid land, the following from
tho Enterprise goes far to prove that
our view of the matter Ii identical
with that of our neighbors of the
West:
It is expected that that those who
have in charge the construction Of the
State storage reservoirs will allow no
heritage to vegitate beneath the pedal
extremities. The work should be
rushed if any water is to be stored this
season. The time will soon be passed
when either snow or rain can be ex-
pected. An effort should be made to
secure sufficient water TO KEEP THE
MILLS GOING. When they stop the
mines stop and all cash business
stops. 1t is bad for the ranchers up
the river TO Lave short crop of al
falfa, but the wages of the miners of
the Ccmstock for one day Is worth
more than all the surplus hay ever
produced in Carson Valley in any
one year.

A Remarkable Record.

Tho last grand jury of Elko county,
impaneled on the 18th dsy February,
1889, found true bills of indictment
against eight persons charged with
crime. Five of these persons have
been tried aud convicted. two of rob-
berry, two of murder in the first degree
and one of incest, and two entered a
plea OF guilty and received their sen.
tcnce. The other case has not been
placed on trial. Thus it appears that
of the eight persons indicted seven
have been convicted. -Elko Independ-

A Child Lost.

The Elko Independent reports a
shocking occurrence from Mound VAL
ley, Elko county. Last Friday morn
ing the two-year-old child of Mr..
Rife, while out playing with his three
other children, suddenly disappeared
and no trace could be found of it. On
Saturday party of thirty citizens
and number of Indians organized a
thorough search by forming in line 20
feet apart, and securing the country
with the utmost care, but without tind-
ing any trace of the object of their
search. Sunday morning the search
was renewed and continued with the
same care, but with 40 better result.
A lynx was seen in the neighborhood
a few days before aud it is feared that
the little one was seized by the brute
and carried into the mountains. The
poor father is distracted with grief.
The mother of the children died just
a week before and neighbor took her
infant child to care for. 1t is sad
case,

If yOu will put a tin of water in the oven
your cake or meat will not burn.

Every thing that can vitiate the air of

the cellar permeates the whole house; and
especially when the windows and doors are

A serious inconvenience often occurs at

Root-Pruning Fruit Trees.

vick's Monthly.
Root-pruning acts like magic sometimes
state. especially when unfruitfulness is
brought about by undue luxuriance. When
trees are making very strong shoots they
are found on examination to be making
roots in proportion. and so long as

fibrOus roots which command the forma-
ton of fruit spurs. and IN some soils there
is difficulty in maintaining a fruitful con-
dition. In gardens where the surface is
is great tendency for the roots to go deep in
search of moisture; especially IT the aspect
is at all open and windy. With soils of this
description mulching is of considerable
value, of no matter what kind so long as it
creates and maintains moisture.
With large trees r~Oot-pruning h0uld not

leaving the remaining half until q subSe-

the work is in hand the ball of roots should
be undermined quite up to the trunk or
main stem, as largo tap-roOts frequently
take q direct downward course, and If
these are not severed the work done will

is danger of its shrinking. which if
the tree was unable to sink with it would
leave a cavity and seriously interfere with
root formation. Should the soil be at all

watered, this serving to fill up c~revices
more etfectually and quickly than when it
is allowed to sink naturally. Moreover, 1t
tends to sustain the tree under its surgical
treatment. 1t is a very good plan, when
trees are operated on at the roots. that the
necessary pruning be done nj the same
time. SO t the demands on the roots may
be corr &fndingly decreased. and there is

Trade Slow, Prices Steady, and an Easy
Money Market Cover the Local Situation.
INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. II.
In all departments trade begins to drag a
little. as usual. with the near approach of
the holidays. In prices there were no inn
portant changes. Sugars are easy at the
reduction of Monday. Coffee and canned
goods carry a firm tone. with q better in-
quiry for the latter. Dry goods men and
boot and ~shoe-dealers report but few buy
ers in. and are spending their time taking
account of stock and footing up the busi-
ness of the year, now so near it's close. The
produce markets present some activity.
Eggs and poultry. as we'll as game, are IN
good supply, and prices ruling easier, but
not quotably lower. Receipts of apples
ave been large the last week. and choice
ones are % to 80 cents a barrel lower than n
week ago. Irish and sweet potatoes and
cranberries are all tirmer, on n better de-
mand and lighter receipts. The iron mer-
chants and dealers in hardware and tin
ners' supplies all report their business as
better than at the corresponding period
last year. which is doubtless due to the
boom i'm the iron markets. The -four mar
ket is active; export demand especially
good. but prices have not advanced with
the increased demand. A good deal of ac-
tiyity is noticeable in the hide market, but
the efforts to advance prices fsil. The pro-
vision market is quiet ut the range of
