THE ELKo RAIbRoAD BILL.
The Most Infamous Measure of the
o ,..--y '.'---..- Session. ..--s>tr ,-

Vne blkO ueieSdIion, dILer PdeSluS IIe
Assembly went to the Senate where
it Was referred to the Elko delegation
in that body, was reported favorably
and passed on Wednesday. It, now
only needs the signature of the Gov
ernor to become law, ADD there is no
doubt that he will sign it. The bill
authorizes the Idaho, Nevada and
California Railroad Company to con-
struct railroad, either standard or
narrow gauge, from Carlin TO the
northern boundary of Ellto county, to
be commenced within one year and
completed within five years; and
whenever ten miles Of said road is
completed Ellzo county shall issue
bonds to said company IN the sum of
$4,000 per mile, and at the same rate
for every milo within Elko county.
The said bonds shall bear interest at
the rate of 3 per cent. per annum and
are to run for % years, both interest
and principal to be paid by the
Treasurer Of Elko county.
For the payment of the interest and
principal OF said bonds, a sum of
money equal to the taxes collected
from the entire property of said road,
less the amount collected for State
and school purposes, shall be arnu-
ally set aside which shall be applied,
first, to the payment OF the interest,
and second, to the payment of the
principal of said bonds; and the law
further provides that in no other way
shall the interest and principal Of
snid bonds be paid.
: The road, should it be built, will
ba not less than one hundred miles in
FlEo county, requiring the issuance
of bonds by tho county to the extent
Of 100000. These bonds are to be
issued as a subsidy to the road and
will DO sold in the market, for il they
could not be sold they would he of no
avail to the Company, and Elko
county is pledged for their redemp-
ton. Now let US figure little and
see: how the county would come out
ON tho proposition. Suppose that a
standard gauge road be built and tho
same be assessed ut $4,000 por mile,
the same as the G.. p. is now as
sessed. The taxes in this county
this year, exclusive OF State and
School taxes, is 80 cents on each 500
valuation, and the revenue derived
from each mile OF the road would be
200. The interest on the $1,000 bond
for each mile at per cent. per an
mum would amount to $3.50, hence
the taxes derived from the road
would lack $50 annually of paying
the interest on the bond for each
mile, or $4,000 on LOO miles of road.
III a nnrfow gauge road DO built the
deficit would be still greater. To OBJ
tain y mortal scinch on Elko county,
tho last section Of this infamous
measure provides as follows: >'>'.

Adjustable Engagement Ring.

This story is from Oroville, CAL, by
way of the JclCclcrs' Circular: 1t was q
handsome solitaire, and she evidently
desired the jeweler to know that it was
her engagement ring.
81 would like to have this ring cut
down TO suit my finger" said the hand
soonest heart smasher, as she flourished
the brilliant ring before the eyes Of the
jeweler.
The jeweler took the ring and smiled
he had seen it before.
81 can fix that In minute" he re-
piled. Screwing magnifying glass In
his eye, and taking small sharp-polnt-
ed instrument in his hand, he touched q
minute button on the inside OF the ring
he made it the exact size, saying as he
placed it on her finger, "You see, these
rings are made in this manner for the
reason that they are worn by so many
different people; it Is a great conven-
ience."
The young lady sailed out Of the store
burning with indignation. and the rea-
son she did not fly was because she
didn't have any wings. What did she
think? You know; and it is only neces-
sary to state that she did not wear the
ring.
Another girl has 1t now, but this time
the jeweler was not permitted to touch
the button-the young man did 1t him

The Fashion in Chemises.

Frills and furbelows on chem!ses
have entirely gone out, and they are
most simply ornamented with rare lace
and narrow semis of dots or fleuret-
ties running round the decolletage.
Valenciennes is still the favorite lace,
but Malines and Alencon are coming
along very rapidly for underwear. A
simple and charming way OF ornament
ing chemises Is to have broad bias
fold of very fine cambria open worked
onto the material, with gashes button
hole stitched at the bust.
Through the bias OF broad rib;
bon of satin or morie is run, the
cambria slightly fulled, and q pretty
bow finishes the garment just above the

favorite shape has al enormous Plerrot

THE END.
SILLY MOCK MARRIAGES.
RsY. Dr. Sherwln, of Brooklyn, Gives Some
Sensible Advice.
~ lo3Ss GiObs- Democrat

%. LVGtS U.O0c -Deheyef"t'
Young people never appear to profit
by the experience of others in the mat
ter of sentiment, and they are continu'
ally bringing sorrow upon their own
heads aud upon those of others by their
indiscretionS. This, though, is prompted
by the number of "mock marriages"
which have occurred lately, and the
scandals originating in them. A man
who becomes party to such ceremony
is guilty OF crime, because he con-
spires TO deceive the woman. In most
cases il will be found that the woman
believes she is being married according
TO law, and there is but one way to look
at il. One day about a year ago wom-
an who had been deceived by her lover
into participating into such a marriage,
and who discovered the fraud, came TO
me with her tale of woe and asked my
advice. She was living with the man she
supposed to be her husband, but believed
that he was about to desert her. l
Thought the matter over and told her to
arrange a little party at her home and
invite me as friend, but not as a min
lister OF the Gospel, aud atan opportune
time propose TO her lover that they SNOW
their friends how they were married IN
FINN She was bright little woman,
and carried out my instructions TO the
letter. The people in the house, when
went there, knew Of the existing condl-
tions, and readily entered into the
scheme, prompted by curiosity to see
how ''mock marriage" was performed.
l was pressed into service by the woman
on the plea that 1 had a brother in the
church. took the Bible she provided
and married them fast and made out
the certificate in due form. Then had
an interview with the man. de was
very angry at first, but came around all
rigbt- and he and the little woman are
now living together very happily. Tha,
isn't the way most "mock marriages
end, but it would be good way to dc
il. Two or three prosecutions under the
criminal law might stop them.

Adjusting n Veil.

1t takes talented girl now to adjust
a veil properly. Some one discovered a
few weeks ago that the prettiest woman
in the world would be ruined as to her
looks If they were to attempt to wear
the bordered short, speckled veil which
was then trying to be in fashion. The
alarm quickly spread and how you may
walk the city over, you may traverse
Lenox, you may climb the mountain
steppes and jog along the most fashion
able autumn retreats without finding as
much as a single veil OF that description.
Instead OF the MISUNDERSTANDING sort
women are wearing great pieces OF tulie
Of some shade to either match or har-
monte With the costume. The tulle is
not figured and is put on loosely and
drawn in at the back or top in the most
bewitching way imaginable.

Should the Hair be Washed:

One hairdresser says in the Hdtr-
dresser: Don't wash the hair. / be-
iieve the average young woman browns
the life of her hair by frequent washing
in hot and cold water. We pin our faith
to a good brush, and prefer a short
bristled, narrow brush. We use the
brush not only on the hair but on the
scalp. The first thing to do when the
hair is unpinned is to loosen it by lightly
tossing it about. Instead Of beginning
at the scalp, the first combing should
start at the ends OF the hair. Comb mp
ward to avoid tangling, breaking, and
tearing the hair out. The scalp should
be brushed thoroughly"
When it is possible the hair should be
brushed by another person; II not, a
woman must learn to brush her hair like
this: Divide the hair at the back OF the
head and then brush it gently from each
side. II entapgled, IL should be freed
from knots by beginning little way up
from the ends of the hair and gradually
brushing from above. Care should be
taken not to break the hair, which
should be brushed for twenty minutes
every night and morning.

In the United States there are no less
than 5000 women doctors, OF whom
about five hundred are practicing In New
York. The first one was Miss Black
well, who secured the country over be-

preparing to practice medicine. In Ger
many women may qualify, pass examin-
ations and obtain their diplomas, but
they cannot practice. In Vienna they
are still worse off. because, although
they are allowed" to attend the uni

Spain there are about half dozen wo-

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.


The advice to supply salt where the
COWS can get at it at will is often given
but not universally adopted. But it is
good advice nevertheless.
The man who kicks the liveliest
against the artificial coloring Of butter
is about as sure to select colored but
ter for his own use as anybody else.
WHILE we wouldn't reject COW be-
cause of the color of her hair, yet we
would demand that more of the other
good points should be there. In short,
brindle is scrub color.
DECEMBER, January and February
are the three months when the cows
require the best of seed and care in or
der to get the greatest profit from
them. From now till then we should
do all we can to prepare the cows for
their winters work. And now is the
time to weed out the herd and sell the
poor cows.
ALWAYS be on the lookout for an ex-
ira good cow. There is such vast diff
ference between an extra good COW and
an ordinary good one. Sometimes the
difference is one hundred per cent. but
fifty per cent. gain is common. Some
COWS are good for six months some for
eight and some all the year. 1t is the
ali-the-year cows we want.
