Nine men in every ten spoken to about
the matter, readily admit that the filthy
condition of the streets, alleys and back
yards of this town ought to be remedied
but only one man in the town went fur
ther and practically sought to bring
about such a result and he was Sheriff
Turner. The only way to reach the
matter was under the town government
law and the RECORD mentioned it several
times and stated what it was proposed to
do but when the petition to the Commits
toner's last Monday was circulated the
objections to it were numerous and show
ed woeful ignorance in some instances

TIE ENrERTAINmENT.

A most enjoyable evening was spent
last Friday at the entertainment given
by Miss May Earle in the Library Hall
in aid of the Library fund. Since the
appointment of Miss Earle as Libra.
rian she has been most assiduous in her
efforts to induce our citizens to become
more Of a reading community. For some
time past the membership has been
gradually decreasing owing in great
measure to many leaving town for other
camps and as a result the funds as
sumed low figure and it was difficult to
carry on the good work. To meet the
exigences of the case Miss Earle gather
ed together our local talent and an enter
tainment as the result was given, which
proved hsttering success financially
and otherwise. A passing notice of a
few Of the leading vocalists would not be
out of place.
Miss Henrietta Werners song was rem.
dered artistically and met with hearty
applause from the audience.
Mr.. John Lynch made quite hit in
his delineation of Irish character which
was well received.
Mrs. R. Nichols, in her recitation,
/ proved conclusively that she is first
class elocutionist.
Mrs. Frank Godbe sang solo, and a
duet accompanied by Mr.. Schaefer, both
of which were beautifully rendered
they are both musicians of no mean or.
der.
The recitations given by several young
ladies were received with favor and
elected applause. The pieces recited
were usually too long and would have
had a better effect had the selections
been shorter so as not to cause monot
ony.
The swinging of clubs and axes b,
Herman Prudential was great sur
prise to the audience. He handled then
with the skill of a veteran and at tn
conclusion of the exercises received quit
an ovation.
The acoustic properties of the Hall ar
not well adapted for vocal and instru

NEVADA LEGISLATURE.


Week.
The mileage claimed by Lineoln's rep.
resentatives caused some kicking. In
the assembly the Mileage Committee re-
ported on Lincoln county mileage. Con-
siderable discussion was had over the
propriety Of adopting the route by way
of Salt Lake, from Phoebe to Carson
which is over 1900 miles. Across
country is much the shorter distance, but
the Lincoln county people travel by the
more convenient and quicker mode of
of travel, by rail. They claim now that
it is the the usual manner and the prac-
ticable way, and that mileage should be
paid upon that distance. 1t was finally
settled that the usual travelled road was
the measure of distance upon which mile
age should be computed.
The Senate however refused to allow
Senator Sawyer mileage via Salt Lake
instead of by the Eureka route and a
democratic exchange says this is because
Sawyer is democrat while Lincoln's
Assemblymen are republicans, but in
this it is partly wrong.
Senator Sawyer's bill to call Consti-
tutional Convention is in the hands of
the Judiciary Committee.
The bill relating to the Sherif's fees
has passed the Senate. 1t allows to his
own use the commissions collected on Ii
censes issued.
On the 2Sth ult. in joint assembly OF
both houses, Hon. J, P. Jones was elect.
ed to succeed himself in the United
States Senate for the fourth time. Every
member of the two houses but voted
for him. The event was duly celebrated
by banquet at the Arlington house
Carson, on the evening of the Goth ult.
Frank Mccullough, without opposi
ton, was elected as Warden of the Stat
Prison.

ALONG TIME AGO.
Reminiscent of The Old Times When
Stages Wore Robbed OF TFeE suTs.

The following reminescence will, be re-
cognized by our old timers as containing
as much fiction as fact.
Chimes amt like they used to be"
said Eureka visitor at a down town
hotel, a few nights since, from the depths
of bar room chair as he aimed at the
cuspidor and settling back, wiped off his
chin, and said, "The days were better
in Phoebe when a stage was robbed every
few nights, and money was plenty, and
the boys walked around town without
much danger of getting hauled ill.,.
Every one moved up a little closer to the
speaker as he continued and said, q
recolleet one night of seeing Jack Harris
come into the barber shop. wearing pair
of long legged cavalry boots, and as the
side walks were good and no mud in the
streets, some one asked him why he wore
such boots. He said they were his rust
lin boots and when he had any rustlin
to do he always went well heeled. Well
sure enough, that night the Hamilton
stage was stopped, coming in, when
about one mile out from Phoebe and re-
lieved of Fargo's box; the driver was
ordered to turn around and 20 back.
He obeyed orders until he thought it safe
to return, and then he wheeled around
and came into Phoebe, arriving about
mid. might, and some hours behind time.
At the Express Office on the sidewalk
were congregated about two hundred
men waiting for letters which usually
came that way The express clerk was
waiting and asked the driver, as he bore
down on the brake and stopped, to pas;
out the express box The driver, answ
cred little crest fallen, that the boy
down the road had it when he last saw
it. The crowd was listening with grea
interest and at this announcement, the,
threw up their hats and gave three will
cheers and began to laugh. The roa
agents got about $l700. and there wa
| big effort made to catch 'em. Th
0 next day Wells Fargo's agent sent ia
9 Niconoro Rodregues who was general
: supposed to know all about it. He wa

morning central over Lake Superior, and
joined to it is an extension of the low
pressure to the south, reaching to Ala
bama. Heavy rains prevail in most of
the districts east of the Mississippi
river, being severe over the lakes, with
an extensive area of low barometer,
reaching south. Heavy rains are likely
to fall in the upper Ohio and Atlantic
states today. The area of high
barometer pressure is moving rapidly
from the northwest, attended with
moderately cold wave. Clearing .condi-
tions will ensue tonight and Sunday,
and displace the clouds and rain, reach
ing to the Allegheny mountains tonight
and the Atlantic coast Sunday, with
cooler weather especially in the upper
Ohio valley.
New YORK, Feb. 2l.-A heavy fog
hangs over the Atlantic coast today.
Telegraphic communication is most
seriously interrupted. Reports from
Sandy Hook state that the fog is so
dense down there that no steamers have
been signalled today, although num-
Der are known to be off the coast wait
ing for better weather before venturing
into the harbor. Dispatches from
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore
show that the same state of affairs ex-
lists in those cities.
CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-The signal service
officials announce cold wave approach
ing, and that the temperature will fall
about to zero by tomorrow morning in
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan.

IN THE OHIO VALLEY.
Ono Flood Following on the Heels OF
the Other.

OhO r1OOO FOLLOWING on the Heels OF
the Other.
PITTsBURG, Feb. 21.-Another flood in
the Ohio valley is expected, as rain has
been falling all day, with no indica-
tions of clearing weather. The Monon-
gahela and Allegheny rivers are again
rising. The damage done by the flood
in this section has not yet been figured
up, but it is safe to say 1t will reach
many hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Late advices tonight from up the
river show that the state Of the weather
is growing colder, and that the rain has
ceased, with consequent fall of the
rivers. At Johnstown, the violent cur
rent has barred five victims of the great
flood, and others have been partially ex-
posed. The greatest damage down the
rivers has been inflicted on the railroads
in the vicinity of Wheeling.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 2l.-The flood situa-
ton tonight looks more serious than
since the beginning of the rise. The
restoration of telegraphic communica-
tion has brought news from the water
shed district of eastern Kentucky, that
heavy rains have caused floods in the
tributaries of the Ohio not hitherto
taken into account, and it is feared the
stage here will reach tifty-eight feet by
Monday or Tuesday. Business men in
the bottoms are busy, preparing gener-
ally for the flood.
Dispatches from points in South
ern Indiana and Northern Kentucky,
tonight, state that the heaviest rain
seen for q long time was falling all day
and tonight. All the streams are out OF
their channels, and rising. At Colum-
bus, Ind, two people were drowned.
