"More Haste, Worse Speed"

OF AL the tournaments" ever saw,
one among "dairymaids" at an ugricul-
tural show was perhaps the last to as
sociate itself with that heroic procedure
which such word suggests. There
were about forty of them, armed with
''churEs' and started at the same mo-
ment to make butter against time.
Each came provided with watch, and
the temptation was almost irresistible
to turn the handle Of the machine as
quickly as possible. But no, butter
must be "humored," not driven. The
silent lists were filled with the provok-
ingly deliberate Zip, flop" of forty

The Board Of Equalization.

AHO DOhEu Vi nvublAAatlOu'
The County Commissioners, sitting
as Board of EQUALIZATION, met Sat-
urday morning at 10 o'clock pursuant
to adjournment. The Central Pacific
Company, through it's attorneys,
Baker g. Wines, appeared before the
Board and asked for a reduction in
the valuation Of the road bed from
$4,000 per mile to $4,000. On mo.
ton the Board set the matter for
hearing at 2 o'clock P. NJ. At 2 o.
clock the Board met and iistened 70
an able argument OF Hon. il. Wines
In which ne submitted three PROPOSE
tions for the consideration Of the
Board, as follows:
1st.--Reduce the assessment on the
main track track to $4,000 per mile
leaving the assessment on the side
track, rolling stock and land remain
ing at the Assessors figures and then
mako a horizontal reduction of 20
per cent. on the whole roll, excepting
the property OF the railroad other
than the main track, and raise the
county rate from rs cents to 90 cents
on the 500.
2ud.-Reduce the whole assessment
roll, including all property nf the
railroad company, 20 per cent. and
raise the county rate 20 per cent.
0rl IA, q H.
main track Of the railroad to $4,000
per mile, leaving all other property
stand us originally assessed.
Mr.. Vines was followed by Mr..
harrington who controverted the
statements made by Mr.. Wines, aud
denied the powers Of the Board to
mako a horizontal reduction Of 20
per cont on the assessment roll.
Mr.. Baker followed Harrington and
urged the Board to accept one Of the
propositions made by Mr.. Woes.
At the conclusion Of Bakers argu-
mont the Board took Il recess Till 7 o.
clock. When the Board convened,
aftor the recess, they we're addressed
by Mr.. @. @. Wallace, who assured
them that the attitude OF the railroad
company was not hostile to the inter
ests OF Elko county, but that it
wished to be treated ths same as the
other taxpayers Of tho county. The
Board then took u recess till 8 o.
clock Monday morning.
This morning the Board met and
listened to the complaints of all who
desired &c be heard and then took up
. the matter Of the railroad assessment.
Chairman Rigshy stated that the
Board had unanimously decided to
reject nil the propositions made by
the railroad company and redGce the
assessment on The main track Of the
road from SI4,00O To $4,000 Per mile.
After some desulCory conversation
between the members of the Board
and the attorneys, Com missioner Will
son moved that the ASSESS nent Of the
main track OF the railroad be fixed at
$4,000 per mile. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner McAfee
and unanimously adopted.
This makes reduction OF $l4a,500
in the assessment roll, as turned over
10y The Assessor, and differe nee Of
$2,45O.25 in the amount OF tax collect
cd in Elko county for State and coun
ty purposes.

Mr.. Mitchell joined the Union army as a

1876 and 1876. In 1885 he was president
of the public school board of the city of

MIR. Mitchells debut in national poll

publican opponent, E. G. Spencer. In

The habits of a man who could exult
over a reform" like that must have
been wearing indeed. One who knew

rette in his mouth. When he'was. he
felt miserable. Often when he walked
during the night while he lived in New
York he would light a match and smoke
half dozen cigarettes in bed while WOO

when he left for Samoa one of his lungs

he has shortened his life greatly.

corded. He was student at the Univer-
sity Of Missouri at Columbia, that state,
and there met a young man named Com
stock. They became "chums" and de-
cided to travel together for year in E7l-
rope. Before the journey was begun
young Field accepted an invitation to
make a few weeks visit at the Comstock
home in st. Joseph. His friend had five
sisters of such surprising fairness that
they We're known and are remembered as
"the pretty Comstocl girls"
The second of these young ladies, Julia
Sutherland Colnstc~k, was then only 16
years of age, but Eugene fell in love
with her at once and in earnest, and be-
fore he started for Europe with her
brother had proposed and was accepted.
Before the two had reached the Atlantic
coast young Comstoclz missed his travel
ing companion. Investigation showed
that he had returned to St. Joseph to bid
his sweetheart another and a longer fare
well. The European tour was finally
undertaken six months afterward, but
was cut short because Of the late start
Upon his return from his foreign trip
Mr.. Field insisted on an immediate mar
riage and carried his point.
At,the time of his marriage he was q
young man of considerable wealth, which
had been left to him by his father and
he lived without an occupation. That
happened which was to be expected the
money wasted away and he was pres
emily "broke." It was not until about
this time that he began to climb the lad
der to literary fame. The first rung was
reporters position on an insolvent jour
nal, and the struggle for time was a
hard and well nigh discouraging one.
Later came employment on a news
paper in whose office salaries were paid
with that regularity that cheers the
getter up Of copy, and from that time to
the present Eugene Fields literary prog
ress has been steadily upward. Several
years were passed in Denver, and there
he met Bill Nye, then Of Laramie, and
think, Mark Twain. Itwas while Field
was a member of the staff Of The Rocky
Mountain News that his verses began te
attract notice. Though his work was
from the first such as to command at.
tention, they were then far from being
such finished literary gems as he now
produces. They were mostly humorous
and in fact it is as a humorist that he is
better known to this day, though much
