KNOWS A GOOD THING.
a CalifOrnian's Opinion Of Nevada
Resources.

Col. HOLSTER, dairyman of San
Luis Obispo county, CAL, has been
for some time in this section looking
for al investment. He wants a ranch
| capable of feeding at least 500 cows
and near creamery.
In conversation with the writer
he said: 1.-The climate of Nevada is
much better adapted to dairying than
California. You have much better
feed here and the cool nights are a
great factor. In California by the
middle of Summer the feed is exhaus-
ted, the sultry nights effect the cattle
and there are many drawbacks. L
find in Nevada the ranches have
splendid feed all Summer and then
after cutting tue third crop of alfalfa
they turn the cattle on these fields
and get magnificent Fall pasturage.
The cool nights are refreshing to the
cows and they glue big milkEyield.
The grass up here, the dry climate
and elevation, all combine to make
gilt edged butter. My atten ton was
first attracted to Nevada butter by
seeing that it had taken first premium
at the Worlds Fair. 1t deserved it
for | never saw better butter. The
splendid showing your creamery in
dustry is making is attracting the at
tention of California dairymen, and
the industry will grow from this on.

Serious Mistake OF a Father.

San Antonio, Texas, August 80, -
Last night DR.. Anderson O'Mally, a
young New York physician, shot his
three-yesr-old son accidently and then
killed him to put him out of pain.
His wife and himself have been very
nervous about burglars and have
Bookkeeping awake several nights
They heard the door in the child's
room creak. The father went in with
a cooked pistol. He saw no one.
He poked his little nephew and his
own son with the pistol to cause
them to turn over, the pistol went off
shooting the child III the side and the
father then put his pistol to its head
and killed 1t to relieve it of its mis-
cry as be said he knew the wound
was fatal. He is now under arrest
and is almost insane.

In the early days George Cowing,
now a crack shot of the company,
was occasionally wild shooter.
Here is one of his 900 yard targets
shot from a rest, in 1887. History
does not say the sort of rest, but it
must have been an empty gallon
demiiohn that rolled with the recoil.
1t may be considered rather q bad
target for a man of Cowing's reputa-

In order to give the average militia

THIRD DAY In CAMP.
The Sun Comes out in Great
Force.

Force.
Yesterday was the hottest day the
boys in camp have experienced.
The threatened thunder storm did
not come off and the day broke clear
and hot. Thunder storms are play
ing all about the horizon but they
all seem to avoid Carson.
Col. Lord ordered an extra salute
in hopes that the artillery would
bring rain as it did after the battle of
Waterloo. Over S75 worth If pow
der was burned but no rain.
The heat was sWeltering all day
and so hot in the pavilion that the
meat got an extra fry on it after IT
reached the table.
The soldiers all speak highly of
their rations which have been first
class, Friday chicken dinner will
be served.
At night there are wild scenes
along the tented streets and it is
hard to sleep. The hilarity is noisy
but good humored and nothing move
serious than little fun has cropped
out.
Yesterday Billy Pratt organized a
bogus Court Martial and charged

tending to picket duty. He was
condemned to three hours with

sentence clearing up the litter of the

comrades with soldiers fortitude.

Heavy Fruit Shipments q.

The Central Pacific has leased
eight heavy locomotives with full
crews from the Union Pacific, and 1t
is expected it will keep them in ser
vice for three months to come be-
cause of the unprecedented crowding
of freight over the Central Pacific.
That freight is mostly fruit, and peo-
pie who have been out on the line of
the Central Pacific say that the
amount of fruit being shipped east
over that line is something most ex-
traordinary. The strike crippled the
early fruit trade exceedingly, but
nowadays it is being made up, and
the wonder of those who watch the
endless procession Of fruit trains is
where there can people enough be
found to absorb al that fruit.

TO ADOPT THE GOLD STANDARD

CHICAGO. Nov. 19-The Post pub
fishes the following from Washington:
There Is good reason to believe that
the president. in his forthcoming mes
sage to congress. will take firm stand
IN favor of the single gold standard. II
Is certain that the free silver people
who have had hopes that he would fav
or their cause will be disappOin, ed
There has been much written since the
last election that the president would
realize the necessity for cOnciliating
the free silver element of the democrat
&c party. The truth is. the president
does not recognize anything of the sul E.
He will not take step in the direction
of free silver coinage. On the contra
ry. 1t is almost certain that he Will en-
dorse the single gold standard about as
forcibly as 1t is possible for any man to
do.
1t is singular fact that nearly ev-
erybody IN the treasury who has had
to do with the financial departments ~
now, no matter what he was when he
entered the treasury, an advocate of
the single gold standard This is true
even of Secretary Carlisle. A promi-
nent member of the administration. IN
conversation with Secretary Carlisle on
the recent election, said a few days
ago:
lone thing, Mr.. Secretary. settled
definitely bv this election is that the
democratic party must now adopt the
single gold standard of value and stick
to It."

a Clever Little Arrangement by Which
He Deceived Ills Friends.
The Baron, who was a man of society, and
devoted to his youth, discovered that his
hair WAS growing gray and somewhat thin.
Could the Baron de z. consent to put on
those signs of agel Not at all But his hair
generally continued to decrease, and the
gray hair TO increase in proportion to the
rest.
He thought the matter over until he was
In danger OF losing what hair he had, and at
last lit upon happy thought. He went to
wig maker and ordered no fewer than
eight wigs, all made of the same hair, and
all closely resembling the color of his own
just little more youthful, perhaps, and
certainly more copious.
The wlg-maker was astonished at such an
order, and still more astonished when the
Baron de x. ordered him to have the hair of
one wig left pretty long, for the prevailing
fashion; the hair of the next wig just lit
tie shorter than that; and so on, by q very
gradual reduction, down to one which was
quite short
Then the Baron de x. put on the wig with
the shortest hair for we K; next week he
aut on the with the next longer head of
air; the third week, thu third wig: and
10 the eight week; and then some one

MORE BONDS,


Latest advices from headquarters
are to the effect that S5O,OOo,O 900 of
bonds willsurely be issued in a few
days This will make = total "f SIOn
OO0, 900 of interest bearing bonds issued
within the last year, by far the largest
issue since the war. This is not a
surprise TO the American people at
large; they have been expecting 1t, and
their expectations are now being realiz-
ed in the worst form. Where is this
obnoxious financial system leading us
to? The public debt increasing at the
rate of Sl0O, 900, 900 annually, millions
of people, half-clad and homeless,
tramping the highways in search Of
employment, poverty, crime and lnfa-
my reeking in the atmosphere until the
safety and perpetuity of the republic
itself Is threatened-all on account of
a conscienceless gang of conspirators
who are in measure, the self appoint
ed masters of the American people.
1t is high time to teach our public off,
Gals that they are servants and not
masters, it is time that the people
themselves examine into the cause and
effect problem and raise their voice In
protest and queIl the pernicious, cor.
rupting influences that are dominating
our public halls. There is cause for
serious alarm; with our financial sys-
tenn unchanged, there is no telling
where this Wall street supremacy will
end. 1t is true that there will be a
change of men in the next congress but
the people have reason to expect no
change in the financial policy of the
nation. The bond scheme is strictly
republican policy which has been
taken up and put in force by demo
cratic minority. 1t was fathered by
John Sherman and endorsed by all
other leading republicans. Hence we
say the people can expect no remedial
legislation from the next congress on
this important topic. The only sal
walton of the nation is the conservative
judgment and discreet forethought Of
the American people, the highest au-
thority of the land If the people can be
induced to employ their reasoning
faculties and lay party pride on the
shelf-then we will be living in land
of prosperity and plenty, but not un-

ut would be idle for me to affect
gayety in our defeat / confess nv
disappointment; we are all disappolnt-
ed. but none of us discouraged. This
reform has come to stay, and we are
only defeated this year because it was
a republican landslide all oyer the
country. The people rose to rebuke
the democratic party and Kansas could
not escape. One cause of regret to me
is that the victors will claim that it
was rebuke to the populist admins
tration now about to go out. That
charge was heard during the campaign
| want TO say that it is unjust. The
affairs Of Kansas have never been more
faithfully and ably administered. To
be sure, we have had some bad men in
the subordinate departments. hut no
more than republican administrations
have gwen to the state. I denv that
the administration has been either IN
competent or dishonest AS I said
this reform has come to stav. 1t NAV

"There 10 not so much bartering in prices
nowadays as there was when first went
into business for myself" said q merchant
to Utica Observer man the other day.
1.-THE time was when Q merchant expected
that every piece Of goods that he offered for
sale would be cut down in price by the per
sistcncy of his customers. It was expected
and looked for, and we often named . higher
price for the goods than we really asked for
them SO we might drop to suit the whim Of
the bartering buyer. do not know where
the custom came from. only know that II
existed and was very annoying. People
would barter for hours over q small article,
and often 60 out and in short time return
and say they could buy IL at Browns OF
Smiths for so much less, and try and beat
you down to the figure they named. Some
men and women were noted for their bar.

used to barter for hours at time over com.

hard listed customer came the Binghamton
boy dropped . pleasant customer so he
might get chance to wait on him. Rick.
ory shifting was asked for, and the CLERK
charged him thirty-five cents . yard. The
customer held forth about ten minutes,
when the clerk excused himself, and, step
ping back to the eface, opened an envelope
lying on the desk. Rushing back to his
customer. who was rubbing the goods be
tween his thumb and finger, the clerk said
''Excuse me, but We have just received .
telegram from our Eastern correspondent,
and these goods have raised ten cents
yard IN the market; 1t will cost you forty.
i've cents now" The old man looked
dumfounded for . moment and offered
thirty-hve cents. The clerk walked back to
the desk, looked At the envelope again,
picked up paper and pretended to glance
1T the markets, conversed In q low tone
with one Of the book-keepers, and went
back to his customer with the statement
that the goods were rising very rapidly in
the market, and a. we had only q few pieces
we could not think Of selling it less than
nifty cents yard, and the next customer
that came would have to pay hfty-five cents
or sixty cents. The astounded farmer of.
fered forty-five cents, which the clerk &C
cepted after extorting . pledge that the
buyer should not tell how cheap he got it.n
