County Official Paper.
THE HUMBOLDT WAITER SUIT.

The citizens of Star Valley have
arranged for meeting next Saturday
to take into consideration the subject
Of the water suit instituted by =. n.
Marker ct al. in Humboldt county.
From what we can gather from
prominent attorneysit is their opinion
that tire people of Elko county have
nothing to fear from the proposed
litigation, and therefore it would not
be prudent to incur any great expense
in the matter. 1t is the opinion of
the best legal talent in the State that
there can be no such thing rs q de-
fault in this kind of case, and that
those who fail to appear at Winnie
mucca on April Ord. can do SO ut any
reasonable time thereafter, which
reasonable time may be years hence.
1t will be observed that the published
notice docs not warn the defendants
that if they fail to appear at the time
specified Judgment will be taken
against them, but that the Court 1ciH
commence to hear and take testimony
on that dag.
It is but reasonable to suppose that
il tho plaintiffs persist in following up
their case they will have to commence
on consumers Of wntor ut Lovelocks
and proceed up the Humboldt river,
and not ut the head of the stream,
and il this be the case it may be years
before they reach Elko county. The
citizens Of Elko county, in the opin-
ion of those who understand the
matter, should avoid needless expense
aud not become excited over tho mat
ter until the time comes for action.
1t would probably be we'll for each
one who has water right recorded
TO file a certified copy OF said record
with the Clerk of Humboldt county,
the expense OF which would be tri-
fling, us IN evidence Of his right and a
proof Of his claim, and calmly await
further results.

Fat Mon Are GullIble.

Eat men," said a well-known physi-
clan, ''are the most gullible creatures on
earth. No end of patent-medicine
sharps have made big fortunes purely
by the manner in which they have
preyed upon the prejudices of men who
convey superffuous flesh around with
them, and there would seem to be abso-
lutely no nostrum too nonsensical or abb
surd for fat man to reject. The merest
tyro in. matters relating to hygiene
knows perfectly we'll that the only
reasonable way for man of abundant
flesh to reduce himself is by exercise,
then, as he grows thinner, his muscles
harden and no increases in strength, but
inordinate fat predisposes man to in
ertia and languor, and so fat men try to
reduce themselves by medicines and
medical remedies Of various sorts. They
succeed in wrocking their digestive
powers, and this is about all. Most of
them are big and strong enough to pro-
tcct themselves in a physical sense, but
they are veritable children when thew
come in contact with quack doctors."-

"'Madam,' said Tao, do not swear

"'Oh, Tao, Tao she sobbed, 'let me
swear, at least, that will not marry

'But Tao said: 'Lu, do not swear sol

''Lu swore great oath, and the good
Tao closed his eyes to open them no

thing that can be imagined. Her eyes
were blind with weeping. Hardly could
we restrain her from tearing her waxcn
cheeks with her little nails. But all
things havo an end, and the torrent Of
her grief at length subsidized. Three
days after Taos death she learned that
one Of his disciples wished to testify his
sympathy for her bereavement, and,
like rational being, she rightly judged
that she ought not to deny him. She
met him, sobbing, He consoled her.
He was very elegant young man, with
handsome face. He talked to her q
little about Tao and a great deal about
herself. Flo told her how charming she
was and how great was his love for her.
She did not silence him, and when he went
away it was with promise to como
again. While expecting his next visit,
Lu, seated where you saw her by Taos
grave, passes the whole day in drying

When tho old woman had finished her
recital the wise Tchung Tsen pondered
inwardly, and this was his conclusions:
Youth is brief and the spur of their
desires pricks on the young. After all,
this Lu is an honest body, since she is
not willing to break her oath"

The Indifference OF Women,

Nobody" said man whose long resi-
dence in New York entities him to tho
distinction Of being deep and old OBJ
server, lis 30 utterly Indifferent to pub
lie opinion as a fashionable woman. She
really does not care a rap one way or the
other what the world thinks of her as
long as she has a chance to exercise her
pot hobbies 1 suppose three of the
most tremendous crusades that have
ever taken place against womankind
were, in the first place, the movement
against wearing corsets; then the agita-
ton about the cruelty Of women using
the dead bodies of beautiful song-birds
as ornaments for their hats; and, thirdly,
the cruelty and injustice of big hats in
thoaters. Yet to-day the women 90
gloriously forth laced to the limit, with
their hats covered with the corpses of
beautiful birds, and wearing hats that
would shame the mainsail Of a down
East schooner. Man is of no account
whatever when he throws himself
against woman's notion of fashion,

Tho Nineteenth Century.

Have you figured it out in your mind
that we are now on tho last decade of
the nineteenth century? Most people
probably have If they have thought of
it at all, but they who think 80 are
wrong. If the first decade of the Chris
tian era began with tho year /, then
each succeeding century must also boz
gin with the year 1, and the nineteenth
century will not be completed until De-
ccmber 81, 1900. Hence the last decade
Of tho nineteenth century does not COM
mcucc until January I, 1901.

A Happy New Yesr-Wrek of December

Pauper-Little Elsie Leslie will make her
first bow to Baltimore audience New Years
week Mt Ford's Grard Opera House, in Mrs
Alhv Sage Richardson's dramatizaton Of
Nnrk Twain's romantic story, 1.-THE Prince
and the Pauper" Several of the foremost
critics of the country haye expressed them
selves in terms highly complimentary ofbo'h
star and play. Mr.. McKenna Of TIE staid and
conservative Philadelphia Ledger, said: "El-
sic Leslie made charming impersona'ion,
and fully earned the applause bestowed up
on her. Child actresses are usually so un'
uRchldlike and siilted, that her naturaness
was most refreshing, by force OF contrast
All that she did was done intelligently, ana
the episodes in which she figured were given
with great sympathetic interest by reason OF
her clever acting" Elsie was the original In
this country, or any other, of Edltha IN
"Elitha's Burglar" and also Americas
original Little Lord Fauntleroy." A we'll
known critic pron0unces 1.-THE Prince and
the Pauper" the sweetest. rarest and prettl-
est of all plays since Little Lord Fauntle-
roy" and says further that dramatically
Mrs. Burnett's stage romance falls far short
of THE Prince and the Pauper." On the
first night of the play, in New York, Mark
Twain was called before the curtain, and
confessed that the play was the realization
of cherished dream" The critic said that
WAS just the way he was impressed with the
play--tha. It appeared as dream, romance

THE FAIR OPENED on Friday night last
and our most sanguine hopes. in the matter
of large and valuable display, have been
fully realized. The attendance has not been
so large as at the fairs previously held here
and this is readily accounted for the new
departure inaugurated by the management
IN the matter Of charge for admission has
caused many to take stand against it, but
with few exceptions they are those who do
not spend money very literally when they
do attend. A very light attendance on Fri
day night showed up $55; deductlng $lS
turned in, on Season and Family tickets left
the actual evenings receipts s37 F.; q free ad-
u,I 49, l,o n, ,ror1J I'm
bly, have been worth $40; on Saturday night
$10088 was reported; deducting $27 for
Family and Season tickets left $73 actual
fair receipts for the evening; we have had
experience of fairs held here during twenty
years and We are prepared to say that free
admission attendance no larger than Satur-
day nights has not averaged $25. Now,
what does this demonstrated This, that
those who do attend this Fair, go, having in
view the liberal support Of the Fair and they
are not crowded and pushed about by people
who go to secure an evenings cheap amuse
ment. The claim is made by some that after
the charge for admission proves that it will
render the Fair failure, that it will be with
drawn and that then they will go: the exper
fence thus far proves that the Fair will be
magnificent financial success, and now that
Family and Season tickets have been sold
and used thus far, to dispense with the charge
will be simply impossible, 80 this class will
wait in vain. Our people are enthusiastic
and II number of friends from the neighboring
towns and country have been with us and
we arc feeling good.
