Last Monday evening Capt. j. S.
Melvin, of Duffields, had n fire kin
died in one of his coal stoves for the
first time this season. During the
night the stove threw out gas in such
quantities as to make the Captain aud
his wife and his two sons Harry and
Will quite i'll, and Mrs. Melvin was
barely able to get up next morning.
Plenty of fresh air relieved them all,
but it was narrow escape from suf-
neutrality-suspicious. Register.

The message of President Harrison

The message of President Harrison
contains nothing very striking. The
tariff law is, of course, approved, and
the usual matters touched upon are
spoken of in way complimentary to
the administrations. Touching the
New Orleans episode, he recommends
that Federal courts be given jurisdic-
ton in offences against treaty rights.
The tone of the message in dealing
with the attack in Valparaiso upon
the sailors of the Baltimore is strong
and aggressive. The change ofmethod
in selecting presidential electors in
Michigan is referred to with some
feeling, and is made the occasion of a
recommendation that Congress should
fix the method of such appointments
so as to be uniform and free from the
gerrYmander. On this score thePhil-
adelPhia Record suggests that the
Michigan scheme is not a gerryman-
der, and is innocence itself beside the
policy.of admitting new States in or
der to defeat the real choice of the
people.

exchange list the paper of the most
sterling worth, we would have no hes

Its editorials are able, its news full,
well classified and generally accurate.
In a word, The Sun is model news
paper, and its popularity in this sec
ton is best attested by large and
constantly increasing circle of appre-
ciatiYe readers.

William Beckman, President of the
Sacramento Peoples Savings Bank,
having recently returned from 40 ex-

fornla and Nevada, was interviewed
by Drury's Ne,cs, and said:
"In this State, it is true, the de-
mand for money is not strong, but
when such is the case we have no
trouble in disposing of our surplus to
good advantage to Our neighbors in
Nevada.
"they are a thriving, pushing lot

Just returned from a jaunt among the
alfalfa fields in the vicinity of Reno
and Lovelocks, and while there saw
farmers blowing without rain and
without irrigation. Since the severe
storms which carried off the cattle of
that State two years ago, the yield OF
hay has been too great for home con-
sumption, and during the past season
over 5000 tons were shipped to San
Francisco, and, it being the best hay
on the market, large quantities of it
were shipped to the Government of
Chill, and Balmaceda's horses sub
sisted upon alfalfa grown in the Sage
brush State.
