NEVADA brags about the apples
that she raises, but we do not man
ufacture cider, dried apples or apple
butter, all of which have a ready
sale in the markets of the coast at
good prices. Let our fruit growers
devote a little time to making cider
and apple butter, and they will find
that it pays. Sun-dried apples are
the best and demand good price,
and if more attention was paid to
the production Of little things by
the farmers of this State they would
find that it would pay them hand
some profit. -Reno Gazette.

RuNoRs Of another railroad across
Nevada are again being heard. A
bill has passed the Legislature en-
couraging the building Of another
road, the full text Of which is pub
lished ON our local page. The most
likely route will Be from the termi-
nus of the road that now reaches
Phoebe, in Lincoln county, up
through Churchill county to Wads-
worth or Reno, thence up through
the Beckwith Pass, seventy-five
miles north Of the c. P. pass in the
Sierras. If this route 10 not chosen
Tim the road will run further south,
TO Ncjave, probably. In either case
Nevada will be greatly benefited

THERE are a few Americans left

THERE are few Americans left
in this country yet, and some OF
them reside in New Orleans, as was
shown last week by their shooting
nine and hanging two of the Ital-
ians who were implicated in the
assassination of Chief of Police
Hennesy, of that place some months
ago. The killing of Hennesy was
q cold-blooded murder, which was
traced to several Italians and Sic
ilians who belong to society called
the Malta. The cut-throats were
!. given trial by jury and the mis-
cradle sneaks on that jury acquitted
the murderers for a few pieces Of
silver. The Italian members of the
Malta were jubilant over the verdict
and hoisted the Italian colors over
the Stars and Stripes. The Ameri-
cans made up their minds that JUS
tice shoulddbe done in spite Of the
law, and an organized mob went
to the Jail and shot the murderers.
It is to be regretted that the mob
did not continue its good work and
eradicate the jurymen who voted
for acquittal and the jury briber
O'Malley. Lynch law is not good
way to adjust matters generally,
but in cases where the judicial sys-
tenn has become corrupt and the
law fails to do justice, it is the
speediest and most decisive way in
the world to settle all difficulties of
the nature of that in New Orleans.
Naturally Italian residents in this
country are much excited over the
affair, but the better class have no
sympathy with the Malta murder
ers. Had they been of any other
nationality, even Americans, they
would have been treated the same
under the same conditions.
As for the buster being made in
Italy about the matter and their
sending a war vessel over here to
demand satisfaction, it is all nom
sense. The deed has been done,
land it was q good job. However,
We do not know but . little, war
would be a good thing, to show the
people Of this country what they
may expect in a few years from now
unless they put q check upon for
eign immigration. g.. ~,

after the growth has been fairly started
the troubles of the young plant begin
1t has to be as carefully watched as the
youngest baby of the household, and the
planter must of necessity be most
patient nurse. 1t has to be defended
from late frosts and that arch enemy, the
worm. This ever present worm is the
only living thing of the insect or animal
kingdom, with the single exception of
man, that Telishes the seductive weed,
Frequently they destroy entire fields three
or r.times, and the planter host of the
writer told him of an instance where a
field in his plantation had to be reset
half dozen times. The Virginia worm is
long, round and green, with smooth
skin, protruding eyes and numerous legs,
1t keeps pace in its growth with the
plant. When the latter is small 50 is the
enemy, and as it grows so does the worm,
until it reaches length of three or four
inches and the thickness of the index
finger. When the plant is small and
tender the delight Of the worm is to eat
through the stalk, bringing it to the
ground, but after it reaches any size it
contents itself with eating great holes in
the leaves.
| 1t is the chief work Of tho picEaninnies
(children) of the plantation to keep the
plants free from worms Two or three
times week they go up one row and
down another, carefully looking under
every leaf in the hunt. Now and then
you will hear joyous "ki-y' come from
the direction of some woolly headed
worker, and you may know that it sounds
the death knell of an unusually large pest.
In slavery days, as now, the hunt was
carried on with the greatest vigor and the
punishment visited on the unfortunate
youngster who failed to capture every
worm in his allotted district was to make
him bite the repulsive reptile in two.
This Is a tradition, however, and must be
relegated to the Uncle Tom period Of our
literature. But the pickaninny also had
his reward. The miller" large white
moth, is responsible for the tobacco worm.
1t is exceedingly prolific and sometimes
deposits as many as O hundred eggs in q
single night. The planter gives a reward
of five cents for every miller captured,
and on bright moonlight nights, when
they are most numerous, you can see the
young darkies moving stealthily about
the fields on still hunt for scalps. --R

TRUTH AT LAST,
The identity Of the "Man In the
Iron Maskn Heing ntabIIsIled.


1t Is said that an officer of the garri.
son OF Nantes Earis, has received to
trHnscribe some dispatches of Louis
XIV, and of Louvois In which there
are statements upon the "Iron Mask
These dispatches are but succession
of sentences interrupted and divided
by dashes, and which have never been
transcribed before, 1t Is impossible
to get the exact text as that has not
been communicated, but 1t is to all
accounts of great interest, and throws
much light upon the obscure points of
the campaigns of Piedmont in 1901 and
1852.
II says that Gen, dc Bulonde, having
raised the siege Of Conf without neces-
sity and against the orders Of Catinat,
and in this manner compromised the
success OF the campaign, was impris-
oned in the castle ut Pignerol, and the
dispatches which ordered his arrest
contained also an order to allow him
the liberty to walk on the ramparts
during the day with a mask
Gen de Bulopde was the man of the
IRON mask, anu hll lleXpialnSitself. lhlS
general had betrayed his country.
Louis &lA, for motives unknown, did
not want to have him executed. He
had him imprisoned and accorded him
his life, on the condition that no per-
son ever again see his face. The sad
ness and silence of the prisoner, upon
which point all authors agree, was
probably caused by repentance.
The Man in the Iron Mask -Masque
de Eer--was state prisoner who went
by the name of LFstang. In 1862 he
was confined in the Chateau
Pignerol In 1886 he was
removed to the Isle Saint Mar
guerite and in 1898 to the Bastile,
where he died in 1908. He was state
prisoner more than forty years. lie
was buried under the name of
Marchiale
There have been scores of hypotheses
concerning his identity. Voltaire said
4s,he was twin brother Of the king.
