Spicy CORRESPONDENCE.
Something About the "Tribune"
and the Lottery.

says:
The only scheme which the AP-
PEAL, under its present manage
ment, ever heartily advocated
which was claimed would benefit
Nevada was the Lottery scheme,
which was repudiated by the peo-
pie by large majority.
The Tribune WAS for some
months loud advocate of this
same scheme, on the grounds that
it would be great benefit to Car
son and cause a large amount Of
money to be circulated here.
On September the 9th, 1888,
the Tribune contained the follow
ing:
It seems to be the general sent
iment that the Constitutional
Amendments relative to State
Lottery, should be unanimously
voted for at the co ming election,
for the reason that in every town
and city of Nevada, thousands of
dollars are monthly sent out of
the State to enrich | ttery specu-
lators in New Orleans, when by all
rights the money ought to and
could be kept here.
Every business man and tax
payer should vote fer the proposed
amendments and give us a lottery
Of our own.
When the Legislature assem-
bled, however, the Tribune changed
front very suddenly on the propo-
sition for the following reasons:
A representative of the Tribune
demanded money on the three sep
drate occasions, from members OF
the Nevada Lottery Company, but
the Company, while willing to
guarantee liberal adver Using pat
ronage, declined to be blackmailed
a cent, and refused to pay.
A CHANGE OF FRONT.
The Tribune then opened the
Walls of it's wrath on the Lottery
Company and fought it up to the
day of election, February IL,
1889.
How much it Influenced the
voters Of Ormsby can be judged
by the fact that the Lottery
Amendment carried in Ormsby
by within few votes Of 400 ma
jority.
Had the Amendment passed,
and the lottery been placed on its
feet with its headquarters in this
city, it would have doubled the
value of real estate and given
Carson better times than ever.
The Tribune, when it fought the
lottery, posed as great moral re-
former. In view of this fact the
following correspondence is re-
specially submitted to the people
Of this city:
SAN Francisco, July 8, 1890.
To the Editor Of the Nevada
Tribune:-DEAR SIR:-Having net
ed the fact that in 1888 you did
good work fighting the Nevada
Lottery Company, I take the lib
erty OF addressing you relative to
similar work this Fall.
The same company will again
endeavor to secure a charter in
Nevada by fair means or foul, and
wish to enlist your services once
more in the anti.lottery phalanx.
I represent parties who pay liber-
ally for work Of this kind.
If the proposal meets with your
views let me know by return mail,
If possible, and tell me what kind
of fight you are willing to make
and the amount in cash you ex-
pect. We will pay one half down
and the balance when the Nevada
Legislature adjourns.
Yours Truly,

In this period there were two great

the greater number of which were years

Evolution in Indian Dress-A Funny Story
Of Chief Bushyhead.

Washingto on Star: Indians who
visit Washington almost invariably
come to have their pictures taken,
said the photo grapher who gets most
of this copper-colored patronage to n
Star reporter. Hanging over there
on the wall you may see a series OF
rather interesting portraits, ilustrat-
ing the evolution of the red man i'm he
matter of habilaments, from his prim-
tive condition to the likeness of the
newest London fashion plate. The
first picture, as you observe, repre-
sents him in aboriginal toys complete.
In the next he has on pair of panta-
looms, always the first white mans
garment adopted by the Indian. He
wears the trousers with his ordinary
tribe costume in other particulars, in
Guiding beads, feathers, etc, until, as
is shown in the third pilot ograph, il
occurs to him to add "a waistcoat and
"biled" shirt. The feathers and beads
disappear at this stage, and Mr.. 10
goes about i'm his shirt sleeves. feeling
very enlightened for some time before
the coat is put on. Then. as you see
in the fourth picture, collar and cuffs
and silk hat are assumed, and Mr.. Lo

Effects of Close Shaving.

Medical Classics: DO you know what
close shave means? | never did I'M
til | looked mt Il face the other day
through a microscope which had been
treated to this luxurious process.
Why, the entire skin resembles a piece
OF raw beef. To make the face per
fectly smooth requires not only the
removal OF the hair, but also a por-
ton OF the cuticle; and a close shave
means the removal of layer OF skin
all around. The blood vessels thus
exposed are not visible to the eve. but
under the microscope each little quiv-
erine mouth holding minute blood
drop protests against such treatment.
The nerve tips are also uncovered and
the pores are left unprotected. which
leaves the skin tender and unhealthy.
This sudden exposure of the inner
layer OF the skin renders n person liable
TO have colds, hoarseness and sore
throat.
