In the case of the Valley Land and Irri-
cation Company vs. Schone ct al, from
Grant county; the supreme court sustained
a motion to dismiss the appeal on the
ground that notice of appeal was notserved
on the clerk of courts, only being filed in
his office, and because the abstract in the
case contains no intinlation or suggestion
that an appeal was ever taken or attempted
to be taken. The decision is important to
attorneys practicing in the state.

Seeking Homes in This State.

A Swede by the name of John
F. Benson from Paramount, Martin
county, Minnesota, who owns a
farm within two and a half miles
of the line of the Chicago, st. Paul
and Milwaukee railroad is out here
seeking new home. He says he
has lost $4,000 in the past four
years trying to make living on a
piece of land in that country. He
is obliged to sell oats for 123 cents
a bushel, butter for 8 cents pound,
potatoes for SIS a ton, eggs 5 cents
a dozen, wheat for 1 cent pound,
and work IS hours a day at that.
When the farmers here are dis
couraged and think their lot is a
hard one, they will do we'll to read
this item. Mr.. Benson says if you
want to borrow any money in his
State, that the interest is taken out
in advance. That is to say, if you
want to borrow 800, you give your
note for 800 and get $50 for a
years time. He says that several
of his neighbors are very much dis
satisfied with their lot and would
gladly come to Nevada if they
could get land at a fair price. He
has two daughters, good, steady
and capable girls, who are at work
for 81 and 81 so per week. 1t is
hoped that Mr.. Benson may be in
duced to make his home some
where in Nevada, and if he finds a
place to suit him, his neighbors
will follow.-Reno Gezette.

Illus Dreyfus, last employed as a
drummer for HI. Lebaron Smith, a
clothier of San Francisco, commit
ted suicide this morning by shooting
himself with a 44-caliber British

some Light.

A correspondent last week asked
why it was that the indigents be-
ing kept at Dayton cost the county
$50 per month each, while it costs
S15 month to keep them in
Mason Valley. There are several
reasons for this state of affairs. The
people on the county here are indi-
gents in every sense of the word.
They require nursing and waiting
on more or less all the time, and
if the party who has the care of
indigents in the valley had been
bidding to take care of them we do
not believe he would have taken
them for cent less than 81 day.
Those being taken care of in the
valley, we are informed, could be
earning fair wages if they were not
lucky enough to have the county
support them.

Pigeons.

Unless pigeons are quite young,
they are better praised, or stewed in
broth, than in any other manner.
Tie them in shape; place slices of
bacon at the bottom of the stewpan;
lay in the pigeons side by side, all
their breasts uppermost; add an
onion with Glove stuck in, tea
spoonful of sugar, and some pars-
ley, and pour over enough stock to
cover them. If you have no stock,
use boiling water. Now put some
thin slices of bacon over the tops
of the pigeons, cover them as closely
as possible, adding water or stock
when necessary. Let them simmer
until they are very tender. Serve
each pigeon on a thin piece of but
tered toast with border of spinach,
or make little nests of spinach on
pieces of toast, putting a pigeon in
to each nest.

High Water.

Last Saturday and Sunday it
rained quite heavily here and the
surrounding hills being covered
with snow, a regular torrent of
water came down Gold Canyon and
Fl Dorado Canyon. The Gold
Canyon flood did not cause any
serious damage, but the water COM
Ing down Ell Dorado washed out
several hundred feet of the C. & C.
track on the other side of the river.
It also washed a lot of sand and
debris into the river below the
bridge and formed a bar that
backed the water in the river up
considerably. No damage was
done except to the railroad track,
and that was not great.

Deafness CAME he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inf1am-
ed you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by cat
arrh. which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

wHATLYON WANTS.
Assembly bill x7 Nor Its Substitute
seems TO Suit.

Some weeks ago Assemblyman
Gignoux introduced a bill to con-
solidate several county offices in
Lyon and also reduce the salaries
of some Of the officers. This bill,
although good in many respects,
gave some of our county officers
uneasiness, and substitute for it
was introduced in the Senate by
Gallagher. The substitute did not
seem to suit any better though than
the original bill, and it is possible
that no measure looking toward re-
trenehment for this county will be-
come law.
What Lyon county really wants
is law that will not cut the sala-
ries of the officers down to such a
figure that no responsible man will
care to take the position. The bill
now before the Legislature reduces
the expenses of the county Govern
ment "a, 400. Of course this looks
like big saving, and really would
be to the people in one way, but we
think that the people would be per-
fectly satisfied to pay good and
capable man a fair salary to trans
act the business required in the Of
flee to which he is elected.
The Recorder in this county has
considerable work to attend to, and
his office is responsible one. His
salary, $1,000 a year, is not too
much.
The salaries of the County Com
missioners, $50 per month, is not
too much to pay good men who have
the county's welfare at heart, and
our Commissioners have these quail
tiles, and Commissioners hereafter
elected will also, no doubt, have
them.
The offices of Assessor and Sher-
iff should be consolidated and the
salary of the Sheriff, as Sheriff and
-officio Assessor, should be $1,000
per year, and the fees now allowed
the Sheriff. The Sheriff should be
allowed to appoint his own deputies,
and fix their salaries. This would
save 5000 a year.
The office of Clerk and Treasurer
should be consolidated and the sal
airy of the Clerk, as Clerk and ex-
officio Treasurer, should be $1,000
per year and the Clerk should re-
ceive the fees now allowed by law.
This would make saving of $500
a year.
The office of District Attorney
should really be abolished, and if
Assemblyman Harrington's bill be-
comes law, will be. Should the
bill fail to become a law the Chair
man of the Board of Commission
ers could perform the duties now
required by law to be performed by
the District Attorney, 5000 a year,
would be ample compensation for
the work. This would make saw
ing Of 81 300 year, or total saw
ing OF SZ,4OU.
This we think would be ample.
1t has been seen that such radical
changes as are proposed will not
give satisfaction all around, and if
the changes were made it would
only necessitate the amendment of
the law at the next session of the
Legislature.
We have talked with a great
many about these changes, and
think that the ones suggested, as
above, would come nearer suiting
the majority than any yet proposed.
A fair compensation would be al
lowed, SO that capable men would
seek the positions, and the people
would be saving $1,000 each year
in the cost of running the county
