A Cigarette Victim.

A recent number OF the Sacramento
Bee contained the following: A bright
and well-educated young man died in
this city very recently from the effects
Of cigarette smoking. 1t is no specu-
lation that this was the cause of death,
but the boys parents, his physicians
and the patient himself, all knew
that he was a victim of the deadly
cigarette. He contracted the habit
while at school and in time became an
inveterate smoker. There was hardly
a moment, during his waking hours,
that he was not inhaling and drawing
far down into his lungs tie hot and
sitting smoke, and the delicate
respiratory organs we're scorched and
withered by the ~incessant blast. The
lad grew pale and thin, and was
finally stricken down, living only a
few days after being confined to his
bed.

The State officers, whose duty it il
to settle the special election expenses,
fail to make any report to this county,
as to the amount they will pay, or
when they will pay it. The money,
which was honestly earned by citizens
Of the State, is lying idle in the Treas
ury, but through the "cussed" mean
ness of pampered State officials, is be-
ing withheld from its rightful owners,
thereby putting the people to I'M
necessary annoyance and trouble. In
about Is months from now some OF
these arrogant taY-eates will be
around with oily tongues asking for
votes to perpetuate their indolent in
cumbency Of Office another four years.
We greatly mistake the feeling in
White Pine if most of them don't get
the g. b. the next time they ask the
suffrage Of the people. Instead Of
public servants they are arrogant
masters.-W. Z. News.

TuE SUIT.


- our an Honest NAM
The Carson Appeal says: The
Kentuck suit, in which Governor
Stevenson is involved, is again before
the Courts in San Francisco. The
suit Involves several questions Of law
as to the rights of stockholders, and
also invoices the qLestion-of some i'm.
portance TO the people Of this State
as to whether the Governor OF Nevada
is an honest man or not.
In this suit some very damaging
charges have been made affecting the
integrity OF our Governor, which il
behooves him to fully d~isprove.
The Appeal hopes, for the sake Of
the people Of Nevada that the Cover
nor, on behalf Of his constituents,
will clear himself Of these charges and
show a clean record Of his transactions.
II is claimed that he made false
representations OF the condition OF the
kentuck, in order TO secure from the
stockholders the Kentuck securities at
figures much below their value, and
that he managed the affairs OF the
company in such a way as to defraud
the stockholders out Of the Just re-
turns from their investment.
II he is guilty OF these transactions,
he is unworthy to occupy the highest
position in the State, and il these
charges have been made with a view
Of injuring his character, the insti-
gators OF them ought to be brought TO
justice for their acts.
The only thing the people care
about knowing in the matter is the
whole truth.

stayed.

Commenting ON the stay Of execu-
ton Of Josiah and Elizabeth Potts the
Enterprise says: 1.-THE law provides
that before a sentence Of death is put
into execution, the Governor Of the
State. as a member OF the Board OF
Pardons, shall be put in possession OF
the evidence under which a verdict
was found. In the case Of Josiah
Potts and wife, we are informed,
Judge Bigelow merly took running
notes Of the evidence, and he has not
even put that in readable form. 1t
would appear, if this he true, that Mr..
Potts and wife are safe from the halter,
il not OF old age"
The Enterprise is misinformed; for
Judge Bigelow is a first class stenog-
rapher and has all the evidence in the
case, which he is able to produce e r
batim whenever il is desired. This is
the kind Of running notes" which
Judge Bigelow takes in every i'm
portant trial over which he presides.
The Judge does not require the servi-
ces Of a short hand reporter, and that,
perhaps, is what's the matter with the
Enterprise local.-Elko Independent.

The United States has, at a rough
estimate, 1900, 900 square miles of arid
or desert land. But experience in
Arizona, New Mexico and California
proved that such lands, when irrigated,
produce luxuriant crops. Millions Of
acres have thus been made to bud
and blossom, and the time is coming
when such lands do not suffer from
drought, and it is estimated that the
losses from this cause in sections
watered by the clouds will more than
pay the cost of irrigating bitches.
Congress could spend a million in
building great reservoirs in the foot
hills OF the Rocky Mountains and get
all its money back speedily from the
sale of lands.-Inter Ocean.

Weather In Nevada During March.
1850,

In Prof. Friends Weather Service
report for March, the following is the
record: 1.-THE weather was generally
clear and warmer than usual. The
mean temperature for the State, AL,
as deduced from reports received from
20 stations, was l.5 degrees higher
than the average March temperature.
The highest temperature, 95.1, oc-
CURED at III Dorado Canyon, in Lin
coin county, on the Goth, and the low
est temperature, ~ above zero, oc-
Cured at Elko, Elko county, on the
31st, and also at Wellington on the
10th, making the absolute range for
the State 1871 degrees. Unlike the
preceding month, very heavy rains
fell generally throughout the State,
particularly in Douglas, Lyon and
Ormsby counties also in the southern
part Of Washoe, and southeastern part
Of Elko county. The monthly rainfall
at some of the stations in the above
named counties was unusually heavy
for this time of the year. Although
snow fell in Humboldt, Elko, Eureka,
White Pine, Douglas and Lincoln
counties, yet nearly all the precipita-
ton reported occurred as rain"

Repeated CareIessness.

A fire alarm was sounded last Sat ur-
day noon, caused by smoke issuing
from the real of Joe Bankers tailor
shop, in the Jackson House block.
The fire being discovered in time, il
took only a bucket or two OF water to
put it out. This was fortunate, as
everything is getting dry at this season
of the year and a very ~incipient blaze
might spread and imperil the town.
A mere puff and the whole town
might be laid in ashes. Mr.. Barker
has had three fires start about his
premises one from a lamp bursting,
another from a defective stove pipe as
late as two weeks ago, and that last
Saturday from ashes thrown about
some cedar wood that stood against q
wooden fence. Is Mr.. Barker only
careless, or is he not responsible for
his actions? This is a use that re-
quires prompt and thorough investiga'
ton.

Last Tuesday morning a solemn
service Of thanksgiving, with music
and a sermon, took place a 9 O'Clock.
In the evening, the altar being cut of

was a large monogram Of Washington
under a wreath, and between two
shields bearing respectively the dates

the whole was tastefully arranged.
The programme opened with the

lowed Miss Mary Nulty with a poem
on :" Gratitude" A sprightly dialogue
on Americas exhibit at the Paris

address, favorably comparing the hero
OF h day with the greatest men OF
the past as the maker OF u nation,
and concluded with a stirring poem
on the struggles and success OF the lat
ter. The whole performance was
interposed with. choice solos and duets
by some members Of the choir, Mrs.
McNamee, and the Misses Fanny
McGarry and Oracle Jackson, as
sisted by their indefatigable organist,
Miss Annie Lucey. Father Nattini
stated that the entertainment was an
impromptu, and gotten up too late
for any due preparation in the alb
sence Of an expected public action
fitting the occasion. 1t was however
well received and enjoyed by a crowded
and a~ppreciative audience.
