NEVADA SCHOOL FUND.

ing interest.

ing interest.
Editor GAZETTE: Nevada has 3
the present tins $305, 044 belongin
to the school fund lying idle in tia
Treasury vaults awaiting invest
mant. So the casual observer tin
does not mean much, but to tb'
| School Trustees and the teacher j
means she, tened terms and reduced
/ salaries. 1t means that the school;
OF the State are deprived of from
50, 900, t. $40, 900 year, or from 81
to 81 for every census child. This
amount would go far towards max
ing up Storey cauuty's less OF coo
school census children IN the last
year, and would materially add to
the school fund Of every county in
the State.
The coming January apporticn-
ment OF the State School fund will
probably be nearly IS 80 per CEN
sus child. Would it not look bet
ter to lave 1t 81 or even So, as it
would undoubtedly be i the money
now lying idle were out at interest.
Who is responsible Tor this State
of affairs? The State Board Of
education naturally comes in for
full share of the blame, but this is
wholly undeserved when we consi-
der the circumstances.
The law enacted in accordance
with the amendment to the consti-
tuition of the State Board of Edu-
tation to invest the school fund in
bonds of other States, was declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court In January. 1887.
The last Legislature, as an evil
dence of its friendship for the public
schools, submitted to the voters of
the State at the special election
held FEBRUARY IL, 1889, an amend
ment providing for the investment
of the school fund in "Unlted States
bonds, or the bonds of this State,
or the bonds of other States of the
Union" We were told that this
special election was called for the
express purpose of submitting this
and that the lottery
was merely an incl
dental one. The school amend
ment was adopted by vote of the
people, and although it contained
tie express words "The Legislature
shall provide for the investment OF
all proceeds derived from any OF the
above mentioned sources, in United
States bonds, or bonds of this State
or the bonds of other States in the
Umon," the Legislature utterly
failed to introduce or pass any act
whatever to carry the provisions
Of this amendment into effect. Yet,
the investment of the school fund
was the proposed object, the esten-
slble reason for calling the special
election ef February IL, 1889.
Thus it appears that the State
Board is restricted to U. S. bonds
md Nevada bonds in an investment /
If tue surplus fund. The more
profitable bonds of other States are
excluded from the available list
he U. s.. bonds, purchased at IA
premium and bearing low rates of
interest, are not inviting and Ne
ada State bonds are practically out
+ the question.
This blunder Of the legislators in
llewing the money to lie idle in
ne treasury is q nasre costly one by
ar to the schools and school children
( the State than the special cleo
ion was. The interest on the sum
ow tied up in the treasury can
ever be made up, 1t is simply a
cad loss, and all throug h neglect.

proficient in the manly art. This ex-

health of the young ladies', but
many predict that it will also still

Is the test of fortitude among the Indian
tribes. But we defy any Cherokee, Sioux
or Comanche to endure the twinges OF
rheumatism without wincIng. These, in,
deed, are slight at first, but grow in in,
tensity until they become unbearable. Nc
maladY is more obstinate in its maturity
than that which gives rise to them. The
more need. then, OF attacking it at the
outset. Foremost among remedies for it
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, safer and
infinitely more effective than colchicum,
veratrum and u vomica, sll remedies
which might prove destructive of life in a
single excessive dose. Mineral depurents
also, when not positively mischievous, are
far inferior in remedial power to this sal,
utary botanic medicine. 1t entirely expels
from the blood the acrid impurities which
originate the disease, and enriches as well
as cleanses it. Constipation, liver com
plant, dyspepsia and other ailments also
give way to it.

A Harmless Yarn About Sweetheart
Annie RooueY.

Little Annie Rooney is at the AuditO
rum hotel, says the Chicago Tribune;
not she of the winning smile whom the
popular song tells of, but Miss Rooney of
Wyoming. On the top page in the new
register are these names: M. b.
Rooney, Miss A. Rooney, Wyoming"
MIR. Rooney Is a wealthy stock raiser
and comes to Chicago once e year. lie
says life is a burden to his daughter now
that every one is talking and singing of
Annie Rooney"
we don't mind it out west" he said,
although it bothered us for a while.
When the song reached Cheyenne about
three weeks ago, every one thought
Little Annie Rooney was our Annie
Rooney. | jok.aSly told some Of the
men that a friend of ours down east was
so pleased with my daughter that he
wrote that song about her. Some fresh
boy who writes for the PAPER put my re
mark in a Cheyenne daily, and from
that time Annie was too popular. She
was pointed out as Little Annie Rooney, >
with her lovely smile, etc, and people
hocked to the house to see her. One
day there were more than two dozen
callers-all strangers, too-to get a look
at her. So much attention was paid to
us that | thouG ht | would take a little
trip to Chicago. Even the elevator boy
was cumming that song when we went
up to dinner last night. 1t won't last
long. for McGlnty died early"

Those who we're not at Snalps opera
house last night and took in A Social
Session missed a big treat. It's the finest
thing we have seen on that stage since the
opera house was built, The orchestra is
as good as the play itself. Considering
the number, it beats Liberati's band.
One could do nothing but laugh and roar,
and yet all their funny business is clean
and smooth. Nothing coarse or vulgar.
Every musician and every actor is an ar
fist, and when a troupe like that comes
along, it deserves a packed house.

A Formidable Weapon.

Extreme low water in the Mississippi
recently unearthed an historical relic at
the ferry landing at Columbus, Ky, in
the shape of a huge, old fashioned col
umbiad, which did duty during the late
wal in the hands of the C~onfederates.
Those familiar with the history of the
formidable weapon state that it played a
conspicuous part in the battle of Bel
mont, Mo-, in the fall of 1861. and that
from its lofty perch on the bluffs above
Columbus it sent many a huge shell
screaming across the river into Grants
army, and that it had more to do with
keeping the gunboats at bay than all
others at the fort. The gun is the only
remaining relic of the Confederate forth
fications erected at Columbus, KY, thir-
ty years ago.-Chicago Times.
