Tho Wrong Couple.

An Ellnvillc (Ga.) minister of the Cos
pei had Il rather funny bit of experience
not long since, though he did not enjoy
it much at the time. He was called out
in the country to tie n matrimonial
knot When all was ready he stepped
out into the middle of the floor to await
the coming of the bride and groom.
There was no music or extra display.
One couple marched in and took position
on the left, and another followed and
took position by tho side of the first.
Then followed another couple who
halted little to the right. Not being
acquainted with them, the minister,
thinking the last couple were the candi-
dates for matrimony, turned and had
them about half married before the lit
tie lady, who stood blushing, squirming
and choking, exclaimed: 1--WE amt the
marrying ones, it's that other couple

Tho Hour when Dent, Occurs.

From q study of fifteen thousand
cases, extending over a period of twelve
years, DIR. j. T. Burns states in the New
York Medical Journal that death occurs
seemingly without any particular prcdi-
lection for any certain hour and that
the number of deaths for each hour is
very evenly proportional, considering
the large number of cases taken and the
time covered. The only very positive
conclusions the author has formed from
the figures nre ~ that the idea that
more deaths take place in the early
morning hours is an erroneous one; (2)
if stimulants are to be pushed in disease
during these hours the practice must be
justified upon some other ground than
to avert the possibility of danger sup
posed to be very probable Mt this period;
(3) that the vitality of an individual In
disease is not regulated by the same in
fluenccs or subject to the same laws
that govern the vitality Of healthy
human being, the normal equilibrium
maintained in health between the men
tai and physical states being altered.

Moral rcmonstranco is now coming
from Paris, says the New York World
about the Ubiquitous habit of Americans
in regard TO cologne. We owe this to
England. 1t may be remembered that
during the carly days of last summer
some astnte and pawl1y cssayist in Great
Britain discovered that American men
and women had u habit of frequently
indulging i'll what was known as q Co
lognc soak" This dissipation took tho
form of All elaborate consumption of
cologne-soased Jumps of sugar or of
cologne itself straight from the bottle
Of course nobody had ever heard of n
cologne soak" in this country, but the
British reviewer is never nonplussed by
such nero detail as that. After the
British reviewers had ceased writing
scathing things about us they turned
their attention to some other form of
public evil. Meanwhile their articles
drifted into France, and now the French
writer's are moralizing on our habit of
drinking cologne. Apparently news is
scarce across the water

THE RESERVATION.

During the past week the United
States Commission appointed by the
President, has been interviewing the
Walker Lake Indians and trying to
induce them to relinquish their
claim to the valuable lands about
Walker Lake.
The Commission found that even
the most ordinary products-pota-
toes, butter, eggs, ETC., were pur-
chased abroad, and that nothing ex-
cept a small amount of grain for
chicken feed and little hay was
raised by the Indians. There are
no fruit trees, grape vines or garden
stuff cultivated. Only II children
attending the school and that two
teachers are employed. 1t was also
shown to the Commission that i'm
portant mineral belts lie on the Res
ervation. These only want the
prospector's pick to show up some
thing that is valuable to civilized
people, but is no earthly use to the
Indian.
OF course the Commission was
impressed with the outrage of the
idea of few lousy Indians holding
possession of valuable acres of til
liable soil and lodges Of mineral of
prospective wealth, while intelligent
civilized human beings want only
permission to make the Reservation
a community of homes and asource
of riches to the State.
We hope that the Commissions
visit will result in good. We fear,
however, that eastern sentimentality
about the ;4'poor Indian" will pre-
vent the powers that be" from doing
the pioneer white man justice.

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Rodgers, Of Wellington, died at the

I'm TOUCH.


"In touch" is a popular American
ism. Even the cranky Farmers
Alliance urges that the Govern
ment should adopt free postal de-
livery in country villages, as well
as in metropolitan cities, so that
the tillers of the soil may be Gin

gress of the age.
That is just about as much sense
as could be expected of the Farm
ers' Alliance of nincompoops that
want the national government to
become a father to the fatherless
and make every poor man rich at
somebody's else expense.
But this is not the period that is
to be influenced by the tom-foolery

THE State Board of Equalization
has knocked off the individual
raises it made in many of the coun-
ties, but Lyon, it seems, will have
to stand her raises. The horizont-
al raise in this county was lowered
to 10 per cent. and now it is found
that the railroads are also subject
to this raise. This is coming nearer
to giving satisfaction to the people.
At first the Board claimed that the
railroads were not subject to the
horizontal raises made in the differ
ent counties, but chat the rate per
mile that they were assessed covered
everything-rolling stock and all.
The Board evidently found that this
would not give any kind of satisfac-
ton, except probably to the rail
roads. AS the matter now stands
the railroads pay on nearly $4,000
900 more than they did last year,
and the entire valuation of property
in the State is fixed at about $780,
100000. In this county the rate of
taxation has been lowered 20cts on
the hundred dollars and taxpayers
will have to pay no more than they
did last year. The valuation has
Increased and the rate has been low
cred. A few more years of this kind
of work will place Nevada in a bet
ter condition. What we want to
show outsiders is that our property
is valuable and taxes are low.
While the small owner still pays
more taxes in proportion than does
the large owner, it is evident that
the State Board of Equalization
will eventually be good thing if it
is kept in line by the people as it 80
far has been.

AsEET SUGAR BOUXTY-WHO
GETS hTs

|
Gently asked of the american Econ
oniSt:
Does the farmer or the sugar
manufacturer receive the bounty on
beet sugar?
And that journal explains in this
manner: The manufacturer receiv-
es it from the Government and
turns it over to the farmer in pay
ment for his beets. Without a
bounty the manufacturer of beet
sugar could not, at its present stage
of development in this country, be
successfully carried on. The sugar
maker was in condition somewhat
as follows: He found that say 100
pounds of beets would produce 5
pounds Of sugar, which would sell
say for A cents pound, or 20 cents.
He knew it would cost him so much
in interest on capital invested, wear
and tare of machinery, deteriora-
ton of plant, wages and other ex-
penses incident to working the beets
into sugar, that he could not posi-
bly, pay over 10 cents hundred to
the farmer for the beets without
losing money. Farmers could not
grow beets at so low price, and
the consequence was, so long as
these conditions remained unchan-
ged, that no beet sugar would be
produced in this country.
At this point the Mckinley law
steps in and guarantees 2 cents a
pound, in addition to the regular
market price, for all the sugar the
manufacturer can produce. This
amounts to an additional 10 cents
on the sugar produced by 100
pounds of beets, and enables him
to pay the farmer 20 cents a hun
dred, which makes beet growing a
profitable business. tits plain that
the farmer is the one who really
receives the bounty, although it is
first paid to the manufacturer.
If the farmer at any time believes
or discovers that the manufacturer
is not paying all he should for beets,
but is putting the bounty into his
own pocket, all he has to do is to
make his beets into sugar himself
and get the bounty direct If he
has not sufficient capital, the farm
ers of neighborhood or a town
ship can unite and build a joint
factory for the beets of all.
But there is little danger of the
manufacturers making abnormal
profits, for there are millions of cap
ital waiting for a chance of invest
ment, and it's owners are continually
on the watch for some paying in
dustry in which to embark. They
would quickly find it out if the beet
sugar makers were getting rich and
would go into the business them
selves. This would increase the
demand for beets. Sugar maker
Brown would bid against sugar
maker Black for the farmers beets
and their price would advance to
the highest point which the market
price of sugar plus the bounty
would warrant. AS the industry
expands competition will be sure to
adjust all these matters equitably.
In any case, the payment of the
bounty to the farmer directly before
the sugar was extracted from beets
would be manifestly impracticable.
