Car Robbers Arrested.

ANDERSON, Dec. 13.-Special.-Herb-
ert Jones, Al Lowe and Charles Harris
were arrested this morning on the
charge of larceny. For some time the
railroads leading into Anderson have
been complaining Of the frequency of
car robberies. Last Saturday a gang of
car thieves which have been operating
for two years were broken up by the
arrest of their leaders. Last night an
other equally formidable and successful
gang was broken up by Chief Welker
searching Herbert Jones's home in the
south part of the city and causing the
arrest of the above-naned men today.
They all made a clean breast of their
guilt today and stated that they had
been operating for some months, but
were in no way connected with the
Clapper gang arrested last week. With
in the past two weeks no less than a
half dozen gangs of robbers have been
broken up by arrests and confessions.

and nourishing Even when the food Is
not varied some advantage may be de-
rived, by way of compensation for oTnis-
sion of certain foods, by the use OF bran
and linseed-meal. Two pounds of bran,
mixed with one pound of linseed-meal
and a pound of ground meat, fed to the
hens once a day, allowing half pint OF
the mixture TO ten hens, will greatly add
to the egg-producing materials. As a
food for chicks, bran should always be
scalded and allowed to stand an hour
or two in order to soften. AS a material
on the floor Of breeders, to absorb the
moisture. it is excellent, and for pack
ing eggs It serves well as protection
against breakage.

This morning about . o'clock at his resi-

comfortable home, J. NJ. Woods put a
revolver TO his right temple and sent a
bullet into his brain. There seems TO

make life desirable, and while he was
some little embarrassed in his business,

When Webster Was Not Thirsty.

When Daniel Webster visited these
parts, says the Boston Globe, for the
purpose of delivering his Bunker Hill
GRAFTON, he was entertained at the
house Of u Charlestown merchant,
This merchant was 80 embarrassed by
the honor that he brought out rot
only ono but several dccanters Of the
best liquor he had in the house.
Mr.. Webster carefully searched out
the brandy, and poured from it a
drink that would be generally termed
"a bath" and drank the liquor in a
few complacent gulps.
The anxiously obliging merchant
inquired Of Mr.. Webster whether he
would not like glass of water. The
Senator looked up calmly, aud in his
most magnificent tones replied ur.
banely: II thank you, sir, but am

WHY Is TAISH

Nevada wheat was awarded first
premium at the New Orleans EXPOSE
ton some years ago. Nevada a ,ur,
made at the Riverside Mills, was
awarded first premium at the Colum.
bian Exposition at Chicago. These
facts Indicate that Nevada produces
wheat superior in quality to that
raised elsewhere in the Union and
that the Riverside Mills have ma
chirery and skilled labor to manu-
facture from that wheat -four supe-
rior TO that made in any other State.
The reasonable deduction from these
facts is that Eevadans use home made
-four from home made wheat, If
enough Of thu article is produced 20
supply the hone demand. That there
Is wheat enough raised in the State
to supply the people with breadstutfs
is evident by the fact that large ship
menLs of wheat are made from this
State to tidewater, and the fact that
-four can be had at all times at the
mills in this State proves that there
is machinery enough in the State to
convert the wheat into flour.
How comes it IN the face of all these
facts that flour is being imported
from California when wheat is being
exported to that State? Only yes
terday an eight horse team loaded
here with flour brought from Califor-
mia for Virginia City merchants.
Last year many carloads of wheat
were shipped from Lovelock to Port
Costa and at The same time every
sack of flour in the stores at Lovelock
bore the brand of some California
mill. There is reason for this; will
somebody who knows, publicly state
what the reason is?
Complaint is made that the rates Of
transportation between Nevada and
tidewaLer are excessive, yet notwith-
standing these high rates wheat ID
transported from that State to this
and taken from the railroad at Reno
by teams to Virginia City though
there is railroad communication be-
tween the two cities.
Much is said and written in favor Of
patroniziug home industries, increas-
ing the acreage of agricultural land,
high rates Of transportation, etc., YET
we export wheat and import flour,
that is, to say the least. no better than
the home product and pay high rates
OF transportation to take tho wheat
out Of the country and bring it back
in flour journal.
