The New York Financier reports
that on Dec. 8, 1898, the banks held
$76,565, 100 Sin excess of reserve'''-
excess, mind you, against $5,509,600
on the corresponding day Of 1892. In
December, 1892, the "silver scare
was incipient, and the banks prudently
had gathered about five and a half
millions in ''excess of reserve" But
now that the scare is over, now that
the legal reserve of $123,200,575
would be sufficient for the mainte--
nance Of confidence, they are carrying
a reserve Of very nearly S20O,000,O
And they are carrying it because they
cannot loan it on safe ventures. Bus
mess is SO dull that manufacturers do
not need to borrow money. r:
Money is very plentiful in the
banks. On the 9th day Of this month
the specie in bank was nearly double
what it was on the corresponding day
of last year. The legal tender in
bank was more than double. s.=
"Just at the present time, = says the
Financier, athe banks could loan $50
100000 and still be in very sound
condition They cannot loan on
safe ventures, for tariff agitation has
made all manufacturing unsafe.
Meanwhile our Populist friends
and the other folks who believe that
more money in circulation" is the
cure Of all commercial evils, are in
vited to contemplate the fact Of very
nearly s77, 100000 sin excess Of re-
serve" and to mediate upon their
share Of responsibility in driving it
out Of circulation and into the banks

Drowned i'm a Water Tank.

A Virginia City dispatch of July
9th says: Claud, the 12-year-old son
of j. I'll. Hitchcock, was drowned this
afternoon in a water tank near the
Pioneer laundry, on the Greiger grade.
The drowned lad, with a younger
brother, was on raft floating in the
tank and fell into the water, sinking
Immediately. His brother notified
the employees at the laundry. AS the
tank is located on a steep hill, quar-
ter of mile above the laundry, the
body had been under water nearly
half an hour before it was recovered,
and all efforts to restore respiration
proved unavailing.

called the Silver State Excursion is
now being organized by Ira G.. Hoag
of Beowawe, Nevada, to run direct
from Reno, Nevada, to the Worlds
Fair on September 9th. Special ar
rangements have been made to accom-
modate the party with first-class and
tourist sleeping cars, and every ar
rangement will be made to make it a
pleasant trip. This is the only excur-
sion train that will run direct from Ne
vada to Chicago and it promises to be
a grand affair. 1t will be largely pat
ronized by the citizens of this State
who desire to help celebrate our natal
day in Chicago on September 18th.

Wage Reduction Considered.

At the regular meeting of the Vir-
ginia City Miners Union, held on the
evening of July 28th, the proposition
for reduction of wages from the pres
ent standard of Sd to $3 day, sub
mitted by the management of the vari-
GUS Comstock mining companies was
considered. A motion was made to
return the document without action,
as the miners wages cut less than one
sixtieth per cent of the present cost
of operating the mines. An amend
ment to refer the matter to a commit
tee to report at some future meeting
was unanimously adopted.
The attendance was unusually large
at the meeting, over 500 members be-
ing present, including representatives
from the Gold Hill and Silver City
unions. The latter had no voice in
the proceedings, but those unions are
known to be fully in accord with the
action of the Virginia union. That
the proposition to reduce wages will
not be accepted is foregone con-
clusion.
There was rumor on the street
that J. w. Mackay had telegraphed
from New York to-day that he was
opposed to reduction of the present
rate of miners wages in the mines un-
der his control, but the rumor proved
unfounded. The proposition to the
Comstock Mechanics Union to accept
cut of % per cent below the present
rate has not yet been considered, but
will undoubtedly meet the same fate
as that made to the miners.

AS the time of the grain harvest is

Central and Eastern Nye county will

The farmers of those sections of our
county have cut large quantities of

orchardists feel confident that delicious
fruit will be produced in large quanti-
ties in Eastern and Southern Nye.
It is gratifying to note that the agri-
cultural and horticultural Industries
are making splendid progress in Ne
vada. Belmont Courier.

Was It Charley BOAlkOs

A gentleman who recently returned
from San Francisco told Reno Ga
zette reporter good joke on a certain
husband who is well known in Reno,
but whose family is now living in the
Bay city, and, whether true or not, it
is good enough to publish. He is a
bold, bad travelling man by profession
and is off on the road many months
in the year, SO that he gets very little
chance to be in the bosom of his family.
Being loving husband and the father
of five very interesting children, it is
only natural that he should long for a
chance to have frolic with them.
Now, as the story goes, he happened
to strike town very unexpectedly on
a certain afternoon, and Immediately
started for home to give his family a
surprise. Much to his disappointment
he found his wife and children were
out. This was very discouraging, and
in order to keep up his spirits he got
out his old brier and stood at the front
door for smoke.
Imagine, then, his pleasure upon
beholding his two youngest children
playing in front of the house next
door. He called the little ones to him
and was wondering what he could do
to amuse them, when it occurred to him
that his wife was in the habit of Civ
ing them bath about this time every
evening and putting them to bed
It also occurred to him that it would
be good plan for him to take time
by the forelock and give the children
their bath, thus relieving his wife and
giving her chance to visit with him
on her return. A short time later he
had the babies put in the nursery and
in spite of their protestations removed
their garments and gave them as good,
washing as child ever had. He
was giving them third coat of lather
and having high old time with the
struggling darlings, when his wife
came into the room and nearly had a
fit.
"Why, Charlie, she exclaimed, de-
lightedly, when did you Gomez"
"This afternoon" he replied as he
released her from his grasp, and gazed
proudly upon his work.
s'Bnt what does this mean" she
asked, pointing to the shivering young
sters.
"Why,' he replied, "you always
gave them bath in the evenings
and-I-though would relieve you
of the bother for once, that's all. "
During the next few moments she
could not speak for laughing, but
when she finally came round she turn.
ed to her bewildered husband with the
startling announcement: "These are
not our children, Charlie; they belong
to the people next door,"
It is safe to say that when Charlie
again tackles washing the babies he
will get some one to identify them.

 | This is what the new reporter handed in after the festivities were over:
 '' It is the custom of some newspapers in giving accounts of local weddings, to speak of the bride as beautiful, even Ii she is as ugly as mud fence. The Geni- us of liberty scorns such fiattery,, how ever. If a woman is beautiful, we hesi- tate not to say so, but if she is not, it is not our fault. We proclaim the fact. We wish we could say that Miss Melinda Dumsquizzle, who. became Mrs. Dennis Skimgullet at noon to-day, was lovely in form and feature, but we cannot. While we have seen uglier girls. it .mnst -aso con- ceded by all impartial observers that brick dust hair and a multitude of freck- les do not look well on a bride. How ever, she did the best she could under the circumstances in wearing a tolerably thick veil, and rigged out as she was, in a dress of cream satin, looked quite pre- sentable at a distance Hardly so much can be said of her husband, who walked with limp, and whose sparsely settled chin whisker of pale dun-color would have improved his appearance if they had been shaved off. We ascertained by care full iuquiry that Skimgullet is old enough to be his wife's father, and has, in point of fact, committed the offence of matri- mony twice before. Some say that both his former wives were starved to death .
