A FEW days ago a dog on the ranch
of George Noble, of Hollister, Cal,
freed a wildcat. Mrs. Noble went out
with a rifle and succeeded in wounding
the animal, bringing it to the ground.
Then the dog took a hand, and in the
scufie dog and cat rolled into the Los
Muertos Greek. Mrs. Noble was
anxious to convince her husband that
she had killed a wildcat. end leaned
over the bank of the creek to secure
the carcass. While so doing the bank
caved in and Mrs. Noble was precipi-
tated into the stream. She pluckily
struck out, however, finally landing the
animal and triumphantly exhibited the
carcass to Mr.. Noble upon his return
home.

a lemon in half and apply the cut sur

also a remedy for rheumatism and for
the so-called biliousness of spring. In
the latter case, take the juice of a lemon
before breakfast; the pulp may also be
eaten, avoiding every particle of skin.
Lemon juice with sugar mixed very

POPULATIONS OF NEVADA.

George L. Lammon, Supervisor
o. the oensus for Nevada, esti-
mates the population of the State
at $4,000. As complete returns
hail not been received from the
en- lmeratoIs, the official returns
may vary "a few hundred from this
estimate. In 1880 the population
of this State was 62,266, which,
assuming the Supervisors esti-
mate to be correct, would Indicate
a loss OF 1900 in population in
the last decade. This loss is
wholly attrib utable to the aban-
donlnent Of mining camps by rea-
son OF the decline in the price OF
silver by the characterization act Of
1873.
The Silcer State for years has
been directing attention to the
fact that the population OF Ne
vada was steadily decreasing, and
that it was farcial for its few
thousand Inhabitants to attempt
maintain State government mod
eled after th..t of States with mil
lions of people. 1t is now appar-
ent to every intelligent person
that change must be made and
made soon, to save the State from
bankruptcy, as the game of plac-
ing irr> deemable bonds for gold
coin in an irreduceable school fund
is nearly played out. State and
county offices must be consolidat-
ed and the Legislature reduced
from sixty to twenty, or at most,
twenty-five members.
Let the people argue and differ
as mach as they please on Nation
al politics, but unite in electing
men to the Executive and Legis-
lative Departments of the State
government who will endeavor to
reduce expenses rather than adj
vance party interests by creating
places for spoilsmen.-SaUer State.

GIFTS TO THE PRESIDENT.

A good deal of newspaper dis
cussion is being evoked pro and
con because Mrs. Harrison accept
ed the gift of a cottage from Mr..
Childs.
These things may be all right,
yet if the President and his family
refuse all such overtures of
friendship it will place him higher
in the regard of the people.
A person in high position who
accepts gifts is bound to provoke
unpleasant gossip. Grant called
down no end of adverse criticism
for gift taking, and Queen
Victoria has been the butt of the
European press for tho same
thing.
A President who wants to go
through his term with as little
criticism as possible will do well
to avoid the gift-giver, no matter
In what shape he comes.
