A Good Story, Worth Reading.

In our business We
meet many queer custo-
mers and some very
1aughable things occur.
A very amusing thing
happened in our store
last Thursday, and as
it is too good to.keep
from the public, will
take you into our con-
f idence. The story
goes as follows:
On the date above
ment Toned a gent leman
called, and the polite
salesman who wal ted
upon him put the usual
query, esWhat is it
you wish, STRIP to
which the gentleman
responded, CT want a
suit OF clothes. -
The salesman took
the usual measurements
and acting upon his
own Judgment as to
what he considered
would be becoming, ex-
hibi ted plain and styl-
ish clothing. emo, -
said the customer, CT
want some thing in
plaid. 80 - The polite
salesman promptly laid
before him p1aids in
small designs. emo,
repeated the customer,
CT want large check
goods, whereupon he
was shown suits in
large pattern che cks,
at SIS. ssThis is just
what I want said
the customer, esand as
you advertise to make
necessary alterations
free Of charge, I will
take it. - Upon trial,
the suit fit to per-
lection, but the GUS
toner said he desired
some alterations, as
he had his own ideas
concerning his cloth
ing. Said he, CT want
each check numbered
consecutively, Begin
ming wi tn 1. To this
our salesman agreed,
and went for a sign
painter, and had the
suit artistically num-
bered as you see it
above.
The next day the Gus
toner called, wi tn his
wife, and the sales
man being inquisitive,
said: ssNow, Mr.. C--n,
what is your idea in
having the suit ar
ranged as you have it?,'
The gentleman re-
piled that as he now
had a patent on the
scheme, he would give
his reasons, viii oh
briefly stated are as
follows:
tsYou see I am very
much troubled with

live, and by the use

STATE BOARD OF ASSESSORS,

The State Board OF Assessors and
Equalization have issued n circular
addressed to the Chairman OF the
Beard Of County Commissioners dir
recting attention to Section l OF tho
Act relating to levying and assessing
taxes for State and county purposes,
approved March IL, 1891. The section
referred to provides that taxes shall
be levied on or before the first Mon.
day Of March OF each year, but il ii
shall appear that tho levy for county
purposes will result in the collection
OF n volume in excess OF the require.
ments OF n county for tho current
year, tho Board Of County Commits,
sioners shall haye power and il is
made the duty OF such Board to imme.
diatoly meet and reduce tho ratio OF

POLITICAL INFLUENCES IN TIE
.A : NAVY.

Secretary Tracy, OF tho Navy, an
nounoed . week or two ago at a Bos-
ton banquet that he WINS gong to
reform the Navy, which wasconducted
moro in the interest OF politicians
than for the benefit OF the public
who pay for it Since then he has
experienced a change OF heart, in fact
turned u complete somersault, 30 to
speak, and 70 please the politicians
has made himself the laughing stock
OF those who have watched his course
in naval afairs. Last January he
publicly denounced Commander
Reiter, OF tho United States Man OF
War, Ranger, as q poltroon and a
coward for permitting the assassina.
ton Of General Barundin, OF Guate-
mala, on the American steamer Aca-
pulco, on which he sought protection.
The Secretary then said in IN official
letter reprimanding Reiter:
ut ID beloved that few cases have
occurred in the history Of the United
States Navy where the commanding
officer, so. completely abandoned the
responsibility OF his position az, &c
cording to your own showing, you did
upon this critical occasion. An officer
who SO abdicates his authority and
that OF tho Nation no represents, and
surrenders it TO others, has q lesson
t, learn before he can safely DO in
trusted with the command Of n ship
Of war. Whenever any passenger,
whether American or foreigner, is ro-
ceiyed on Board an American steamer,
he comes underneath the American
flag and is entitled to the protection
and security OF which that flag is a
guarantee. II was within your legiti-
mate power, as it was your imperative
duty, 10 execute by every
legally ut your command the guaran-
tee OF protection which the United
States gives to all vessels under tho
flag" 'i- .'
Now Commander Reiter, who the
Secretary said had much to learn be-
fore he can safely be intrusted with
tho command Of II ship Of war, has
been assigned by that self same Secre-
tary to the command Of tho United
States mar of-war Thetis, one Of tho
most desirable ships in the navy. The
commander learned that the WY to
acquire eminence and promotion in
the navy was not by defending those
who seek protection under the .Ameri-
can flag, but by bringing political in
tluonce TO bear on m administration
thlt is using the whole machinery OF
the Government to secure the 70
nomination of President Harrison

A False Prophet.

alse than making prophesies az to the
result Of silver legislntion!" In his
recent letter to the State Treasurer Of
Missouri he says: ri'" g..
"When the law was passed for. the
coinage OF two millions OF silver dol
lars monthly l feared the result, for
I thought it would prove an Injury
to the business interests OF the coun-
try, for n time, Mt least. However, the
law proved n benefit, for, contrary to
my opinion, tho country was ready
for the change. When tho present
law providing for the coinuge OF ei,-
10000 a month passed I thought the
measure too radical and that it might
haze the effect Of driving guild out OF
tho country, but; in this / was mis-.
taken" ..t-:,. -,. -

THE sRExFoGLE NINE.
A slSry OF tho Arabian Night.
Order.

Tho story Of tho Breyfogle mine
and its rediscovery, briefly told, is as
follows: In the early tifties u party
Of which Bfeytogle was a member,
set out from tho Missouri river for
California. The party had beon out
about four mouths, and was journey
ing across Southern Nevada, when
Breyfo9le became separated from his
companions on q prospecting trip.
He was something Of a miner, and
found o place where no could literally
dig great nuggets OF gold out OF do!
composed quartz, or cement as he
called It, with his knife. He returned
to camp, but the travellers were short
Of water and grub apd would not
consent to remain and return with
him to tho scene Of tho discovery.
Breyfogle, after reaching Los Angeles,
spent tho remainder Of his life trying
to find this mine in the desert, but he
and several parties whom he furniehed
with mnps failed; and many lost their
lives. Two months ago u man named
Montgomery discovered. in the rugged
mountains southeast Of Death Valley,
n location which answered BreSfeSle's
description. When ho prospccted he
found q ledge eighty feet wide, aud
traced it 5000 feet. In decomposed
surface rock the gold is like plums in
a.puddinG. Pieces OF quartz are from
n quartertd half bright yellow gold,
while with a hand morter tho lucky
discoveret pounded out in n short
time a yehstpowder can full Of mug
gets Of various sizes. All along tho
ledge free. gold is found in quantities
that astonish tho Oldest ~prospectors,
and which seem hardly credible. His
discovery has already induced many
adventurous spirits to strike for the
new FL Dorado, where the placer
claims arc said to be as rich rs tho
quartz. The prospect is that these
old desert mines, which have lured
many men to death, will now make
others rich.-lChloride Belt.

Another Witness Testiflcs.

Ed. INDEPENDENT:-I SEQ the growl-
ers arc out in full force; will you
please pormit- me to face in line?
"Peck's Bad Boy" makes tho assertion
that the Republican, party pledged
themselves to u: reduction OF salaries
us soon as possible; and hat the
present incumbents were subject to
the reduction. q AS: far rs tho reduc-
tion Of salaries is concerned it is all
right; but inasmuch rs the present
incumbents. couldn't have had any
idea what the reduction would be,
they would hardly subjugate them
selves to so binding a proposition us
to serve q term on IN uncertainty.
Now the reduction proposed by the
party wds I'M uncertainty; mregg mn
hatched; is it possible those gentle.
mon would pledge themselves TO
stand by a bond Of this kind what
ovor it might Btes? Mr.. "Bad Boy" I
don't believe it. I know all these
gentlemen and when 1 say gentle
men" l mean tho term in the strictest
sense Of tho word. L don't, nor can
/ believe they are such a servile set
rs you try to mako them out. II they
are prove il; it is nothing moro than
right that all tho taxpayers in the
county should know 1t. 1t is my be-
lief Elko county!elected these gentle
men under the old salaries and you
have no right to reduce it.; but the
next set OF officers must accept tho
reduction.
The bad Boy" wants to form a
Malta to punish all bad jurymen.
Please allow me to mako n milder
suggestion, in which thero will DO
no need OF taking life. 1t is this:
Tint tho Judge keep track OF all nice,
clean, %virtuous, honest men Of tho
county, and form them into u stand
ing jury for all such cases as he
speaks OF, and thon you will DO coz
versant with the results, for you will
have boon In the jury room and know

under the pseudonym of ''Owen Meredith"

dramatist, Bulwer Lytton, removes not merely
British diplomatist OF high rank, but one who

of the British legation in Washington, and his
death. therefore, is personally regretted by
some Of our older citizens as well as By many
Of the younger who have been charmed by his
