THE MORNING STAR.

Captain Isaiah Bray, who was the
first master of the steam missionary
vessel Morning Star, resumed com
mand on the seventh anniversary of
her launching. Capt. Garland has
been given years vacation. The
San Francisco Chronicle has an in
terview with Capt. Bray, who gave a
history of the vessel and said:
after seven years of constant
service it has been found necessary
to bring this vessel here for repairs
l gave up command five years ago,
and Capt. Garland, who went East
lately ON a years vacation, took my
place at that time. The steamer
originally cost $42 600, and it is est
mated that the repairs now will reach
between $4,000 and $4,000. The
hull is good, but the upper works
will have to be remodeled, and by
putting in a marine boiler of power
we may increase the speed of this
vessel to six knots an hour, an in
crease of one over her previous
speed. Estimates are now being
made on her by the contractors, and
| expect repairs will be commenced
within short time"

The new store of Egan & Gum,
on Fort street, was entered last
night by one of the burglar stripe,
presumably "Barefooted Bill. A
sheet of brown cotton had been
placed over the skylight yesterday,
to screen those in the store from the
dazzling rays Of the sun. Entrance
was effected through this skylight, a
pane Of glass having been carefully
broken out and laid OH the adjoining
pane. The brown cotton shade was
torn in strips and tied into rope,
by means of winch the robber slid
down TO the floor. The Office was the
first scene of depreciation. Drawers
were pulled out and the contents
scattered over the floor. Having
satisfied himself that there was
nothing valuable to be got there, the
intruder exploited the main store,
but it was plain to see that Bill was
not looking for dry goods. The object
was doubtless money, and, there
being none lying loose, the fellow
made his exit through the rear door,
Disguised perhaps with the convic-
ton that he was 50 near and yet so

selves suddenly Frustrated. 1t took

nerve enough to grip their pencils
again, since which they have been
venting the most spiteful small per-

just satisfaction to find that its shots
fired at venture have pierced the

Leo have uttered volumes of rage at
the appearance of our article of Sat
urday, but not line of argument to
demonstrate Its unsoundness in any
particular. Such is just what might
be expected of parcel of low-class
politicians, and thus they give clear
proof that they are of no other charac-
ter. They cannot argue, but only
rave, and in their raving utter all
manner of rash and uudgnifed un-
truths. 1t is their nature to do so.

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1891-11-26
HOW THE TITLE WAS EARNED.

The claim made by our contempt
raries that the APPEAL has given
Carson hard name is, perhaps, well
founded.
We disliked very much to let the
outside world know that when lead
ing citizens outrage children in Car
son, there can be found two news
papers out of three venal enough to
be muzzled to hide the crime, but
fidelity to the interests of truth
compelled the publication.
Then when it TRANSFERRED that there
was conspiracy of citizens thereto
fore regarded as leading) to annul
the action of an hone st Grand jury,
it became apparrant to the outside
world, that Carson was tough
place.
The only way to remove the stig-
ina is to remove the cause of the
toughness.

THE TIGER is THERE.

The instant q Democratic victory
rolls over New York, it is the signal
for the Tammany Tiger to stretch
himself and sharpen his claws for a
maraudering expedition.
When the statement was made by
Republican speakers and newspapers
during the recent campaign in New
York that if Tammany Hall sue
ceeded in carrying that State it would
attempt to control the Democratic
national policy, it was pooh-poohed
by many people, including some Re
publicans. Well, the prophecy is
already fulfilled, and the agents of
Tammany Hall are in Washington
demanding that Crisp shall be elected
Speaker of the House, just as next
year they will be at the Democratic
National convention demanding the
nomination of some man who will
promise, if elected, to allow them to
introduce into national affairs the
corrupt methods which have made
the New York City government a
stencil in the nostrils of honest men
everywhere. The Speakership con-
test will be test of the strength of
Tammany Hall in National affairs;
if it can have Crisp elected Speaker
it can dictate the Democratic Presi-
dental nomination next year

The New York Sun says farmers

the uselessness or usefulness of a
pigs tail. One side argues that Is as
useless as the letter p in pneumonia.
The other side asserts that the tail
indicates the exact physical condition
Of the animal. If it hangs loose, it
indicates that the pig is not in con
lition and that it should be changed.
If it be coiled tightly, it indicates
contentment and good health.

LEADER PREMIUMS.
A Variety of Handsome Presents to
be Given to Subscribers This =
Month.
Read the List Over Carefully and
Make Your Choice Before it
is Too Late.

We desire to close out all OF our pre-
miums this month, and in order to do so
offer them as per terms given below.
There are nearly 400 premiums, repre-
scntrng a cash value of about 500. All
Of these premiums are to be given to
subscribers absolutely free. No sub
scriber. however, will be entitled to a
premium except by paying his or her sub
scription in advance the length of time
specified IN the table below. The only
exception to this rule is where subscribers
have taken the trouble to save the pre-
MUM coupons" We make the exception
only because we advertised to give some
OF the premiums for coupons, and we do
as we agree. Twenty-Five coupons from
THE DAILY LEADER or ten from the
WEEKLY will secure any premium that
~Laying one dollar in advance will secure.
If you have no coupons then you must
pay the specified time in advance. These
are our terms and it will be useless to ask
for any others.
As the number OF premiums is a little
less than 400 and the circulation of The
DAILY and WEEKLY LEADER combined
amounts to over | 400 it will be seen that
there are not enough premiums for all
subscribers. IN giving them out we shall
follow the rule of first come fist served.
New subscribers as well as old may take
advantage ofthe opportunity to secure a
handsome book or picture free, Club
raisers who are working tor the prizes to
be awarded Aug. should remember this
and when sending orders state which one
of the premiums is wanted by the sub
scriber. All Of these premiums have
been described in previous issues of The
LEADER and although a page could be
filed with descriptions and testimonials, it
will only be stated that the cash value OF
each is as shown in the table. Anyone
desiring the novels may choose any TWEEN
ty-five from a list OF $50 which will be fur
nished on application. Samples of all the
premiums may be seen at this Office. Sub
scrlbers who have had one or more of the
premiums will not be entitled to the same
premium again, but are entitled to any or
all the other premiums by paying the
proper mount. Following is the list with

WANT TO UNITE.

Minneapolis and St. Paul. bittercst Of
American municipal rivals, are now look
ing lovingly toward each other with a
view to consolidation. To all intents and
purposes they are now one large city,
though under two municipal governments.
The suburbs of one almost insensibly
melt into the suburbs of the other, and no
one devoid OF local knowledge can tell
where the one begins and the other ends,
Unfortunately they are both OF about the
same size and commercial Importance,
the advantage in population, although
very slight in itself, being given to MIN.
neapolis by the last United States census.
Such being the case, it is impossible that
the one should swallow the other. W bile the
leading papers OF both cities are not only
favorably disposed toward consolidation.
but are earnestly advocating it, II diff
Guilty which at present seems insurmOunt-
able Is presented in the selection of an APP
propriate and mutually satisfactory name
for the joint city. Minneapolis would not
consent to have it named St. Paul and
the latter would not permit 1t to be named
Minneapolis. Several combination names
have been presented, such as Minnepaolo,
but all of them are much more creditable
to inventive ingenuity than they arc
satisfactory or strikingly appropriate.
This is a source of annoyance which
Omaha will not experience when in
the course of time it absorbs South
Omaha. Chicago met with no
such experience when it absorbed
the bounding prairie of Northern
Illinois within it radiant and expansive
municipal boundaries. New York is so
completely out of sight in comparison
with the big and little ~neighbors which it
fondly hopes to take under its municipal
wing. tina 10 raise such a question would
simply evoke derision. But with the
northwestern twin cities it is a living issue
and 1t is to be hoped that it will soon be
brought to a perfectly satisfactory concur
sion, so as to add another to the eonstella-
ton OF mammoth American cities,

IA " saw
1t has leaked out that one of the pas,
sengers on the train wrecked had with
him twenty-five pounds of dynamite
enough, had it exploded, to have blown
the whole train into fragments. He
bought the stuff Of a dealer in this city
and TO insure greatest CAP carried the
package in his hands. He was in the
smoking car when the crash came, and
the next few moments were to him the
most terrifying of his life. When the
front end of the car lifted from the
wheels and tilted into the air he expect
ed it would follow the locomotive and
five cars ahead down the embankment
and the crash would explode the dyna-
mite, but he also realized his greatest
safety lay in keeping the dangerous com
pound in his lap.
As quick as the car stopped he made a
dash for the door, holding the package
at arms length. Once on the ground he
holted for the woods, carefully laid the
dynamite on the ground and hurried
away. Then he breathed easier, for even
after the danger of being crushed in the
car was over he feared the locomotive
boiler might explode and the conclusion
explode his burden. Without question
had the smoking car followed the others
into the ravine the dynamite would have
been ignited and not only caused much
loss of life, but added another mysteri-
feature to the affair. Naturally
svery one would have connected the dy-
Mantle with the plans of the men en-
gagged in the act, as the owner of the
stuff would o be alive to tell his story.
