MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.

The trial of Ferd Falkner for mur
der which has been on trial for sew
eral days in the district court was
concluded yesterday. The evidence
was all in early in the afternoon and
Hon. L. G. Fort, for the prosecution,
made speech that is said to be the
best ever known here, and that was a
surprise even to his friends. Itwas an
able and unanswerable argument and
depicted the murder in such terms
that the prisoner jumped to his feet
unable to stand the manner in which
his crime was pictured. The case
was such that the attorneys for the
defense, j. Leahy and Miguel Sala-
Ear, were unable to say much. The
jury retired and in about two hours
sent for Judge O'Brien and brought
in their verdict of murder in the
first degree. The prisoners attor-
neys were not present, but the pris-
oner took it very coolly and asked to
have the jury polled, which was
done. He then stated that as his at
t)rneys were absent he would make a
motion himself for new trial.
Throughout the entire trial he has
been very defiant and claimed he
would never be hung, and even last
night when taken to his cell swore
vengence on the judge, prosecuting
attorney and jury. 1t is very evident
he is an old offender and expects
even now to get free in some man
ner. The universal opinion is that ii
was one Of the worst and most un-
provoked murders even known and
we have not yet heard Il word of
sympathy for the prisoner.
Many persons are of the opinion
that 4 murderer has to be executed
in the county where the murder oc-
Cured This is not the case. The
only execution since we have been
here was the case of Baker, about
five years ago, from Colfax county,the
same as now, and he was hung in the
Jail yard here. If Falkner hangs,
which he undoubtedly will, it will be
here in Las Vegas
The time Of the court this morning
was taken up by the case Of the
United States VS.. Diego Trujillo, for
violation of the Edmunds law. Hon.
E. A. Fiske, L. S. attorney, for the
government, and g. Noise and N. Sc.
gura for the defense. When we left,
the attorneys were arguing the case.

HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT.
The saiI which Col. Pope says Will
come from Giving Proper Atten-
ton to This Important Matter.

Col. Albert A Pope, IN contempors
AIRY article in prominent review, touches
strong argument in urging road i'm
provement as valuable factor OF gems
eral financial prosperity. BE argues that
all over this country the small towns have
been range in lines which are coincident
with the lines of railroad that traverse the
land. In much the same manner the
rural popu alton. especially in new re-
gions, IS ranged in lines not far from the
railroads on both sides Of thtm. In other
words the advantages that the rail-
roads AFFORD in way of transportation
facilities attract to them the populs-
ton of the country. This easy means
of transit also enables cities to increase
enormously in size and number. Pursu>
Jag this argument he contends that fine
country highways will be practically co e.
equal with the extension OF the cities out
into the country along these highways.
Instead of living in large house on s
piece of ground $50 feet square, where
the ground alone is worth q large farm 1T
ruling prices few miles from the city, the
same people will buy many times the
same amount of land two or three miles
out in the country, on one of the fine
highways leading out from the city. and
place the fine house on it. There they
will live with greater freedom and all the
advantages Of the city. The roads ide
all the way along the course TO town
for miles will be filed with dwellings,
and the roals will practically become
avenues of q suburban character. The
price of land will be e1hsn need and the
taxable value OF the country will be
largely increased without any great
lessening of that OF the city. Cities will
then cease 10 grow s, the expense of the
country surroun ding them, as is now the
case, and too rue here in our counties.
Country and city alike will share the
advantages o. the improvement, and
population viii largely increase as the
consequence OF this Improvement.
There is good deal of cogent reason
ing in what Col. Pope says: He has
made longer and deeper and more de-
teImined study of the economic and
practical sides of the highway question
than any other man in the country.

Sunny Yellow, Translucent Blue Rose,
Mahogany and Other Hues.
1t is astonishing in these days of decora-
ton and home beautifying that so little is
known about stains says the Kansas City
Architect and Builder, which proceeds to
give the following hints to the ignorant:
In the first place all of the transparent col
ors and some of what are called Opaque
eolOrs can be used as stains if sufficiently
rhinned by the use of ttirPcntine Raw
sienna is one of the most useful, and if
mixed very thin viii give, when vanished,
the sunny yellow Of yellow pine; and as it
does not show dust or footmarls is most
useful in a summer cottage.
Prussian blue makes a beautiful stain if
mixed very thin with turpentiue-when
vanished it has all the translucent effect
OF water. K must be Prussian blue-no
other blue will do and with very large
proportion Of turpcntine. In fact, it can
hardly be mixed too thin. One cannot lay
too great stress on the thinning of stains,
for that is the great secret of staining
that, and to apply il evenly with the brush
and with due modesty let the writer say
that these stains have been pronounced
very good 10y professional decorators.
There is one lovely floor in a certain
country house of crimson lake; diluted it
makes Il beautiful rose; deepen it and You
have a crimson Burnt sienna makes al
most perfect mahogany and matches ones
old Chippendale pieces admirably. Raw
lumber makes very good stain if greatly
diluted, and very thin Nandyke brown on
Georgia pine has Il particularly good effect.
On white pine the lumber is best The va
Ration in color Of stain should depend
simply on It's dilution with turpentine; it
should never be mixed.
The walls OF one room in Il country cot
tage which was ceiled wifi Georgia pine
are stained with simple diluted white.
The delicate blue and pink colors of the
wood show through the white with an
opalescent effect which is lovely. The in
ventor of this decoration has been much
amused by people asking how such a result
could be produced; it was so very simple
Only the floors should be vanished; the
stain on n wall is pretter and softer with
out. For vGrnish, hard oil finished is as
satisfactory as anything, and is the cheap
est. Put it on just as it comes prepared,
and a day and night will dry it.

How to Keep the Carving Knife Sharp

\ carving knife needs to have different
kind of an edge from a razor The steel
which ordinarily accompanies a carving
knife and fork is very well to give finish

milestone, such as a reaper uses for his
scytbe or sickle, is the most useful nipple
ment the carver can keep at hand. One or

ing touches from the steel and the knife is

Review of Reyiews for July


The Review OF Reviews, always timely
in the subject matter it presents, is espec-
tally SO in the July number Although the
month covered by this issue expired less
than five days after the Republican candi-
date for President was nominated, il con-
tains prehaps the most complete and in
telligent character sketch OF Benjamin
Harrison that ever has been written In
the text of the article appears portrait
of President Harrison at his desk, taken
on the 10th OF June--four days after Tie
Minneapolis Convention adjourned.
10 addition TO this sketch of tho nomi-
nee of the Republican Convention there
are reviewed aud discussed, in the depart
ment "The progress Of the World" the
work aud proceedings of the Convention
itself. With this account are presented
portraits OF tbs most conspicuous figures
in that great political assembly: Govern
or Mckinley, Chauncey NJ. Depew, Sena-
tor Wolcott, General John C. New, Ex-
Senator Ingalls, Ex-Speaker Reed and
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster There is besides
these a striking portrait OF Hon Wbitelaw
Reid, the Republican nominee for Vice
President. The mind of the American
public has been so engaged with home
politics during the last month that it has
given little attention 10 foreign affairs.
In '.The Progress OF the World" of this
number are discussed, as well, the politi-
cal and social movements most prominent
in other countries of the world, particu-
larly the political situation in Great Britain.
The reader who has likewise allowed the
general news TO escape his attention will
find 10 The department, "Record of Cur
rent Events full summary OF the
worlds happenings during the month.
The Department of 'sLeading Articles
includes larger number of topics than
usual. Mr. W. G. Edgar, who has had
in charge the distribution Of the Russian
relief cargo OF the steamer Missouri, con-
tributes to the July number an exceeding
~ interesting paper on "Russia's Conflict
with Hunger" The article contains por-
traits ofCount Voronstoif Daskoff, Execu-
tive Head Of the Czarewich's Relief Com
mitiee, and of the Grand Duchess Eliza
beth, at the head of the relief committee In
Moscow, and scenes from the famine dis
trict.

While naturally friendly and appreciative,
the article is yet discriminating. The Re.

Zine, and publishes this sketch Of the Re-
publican nominee now on account of it's
timelness, for the same reason that il
