A WEALTHY STATE.
4 Paradise for People who Desire
to Escape Taxation.

Editor Journal The United
States census for 1890 makes Nevada
the wealthiest State per capita of any
State in the Union, and is nearly
four times The general average. To
be exact the average for the whole
United States is S1,039 per oap'i,
and the average for Nevada is s., 900
per capita. This State IS also
paradise for people who do nos Ike
to pay taxes for, according to this
valuable census, property IN TINS
State is only assessed at one-seventh
of its real value. Another good
showing made by this census is that
Nevada has about the smallest real
estate le5t Of any State III the
Union and only amounts to four and
one-half per cent of the value OF the
real estate. The bondholders have
failed to get IN their work on Ne
vada, and mortgage is almost un-
known. After the census report Is
read there ought to be large emf
grafton from States that are smoth-
cred with mortgages. The Nevada
Board of Trade should scatter this
census broadcast over the land. 1t
would induce everybody who wishes
to escape the assessor to locate here.
Every citizen of Nevada should pro
cure copy of the valuable census
and enjoy to his utmost capacity the
good news, The United States Cen
sus officials are to be congratulated
on the very able and accurate man
ner in which they have complied Ne
vada Statistics. 1t is presumed that
the Assessors of Nevada will send Il
valuable present to the Census De
partment as mark of esteem for the
very able manner in which they ap-
praised the property of Nevada at its
true value. FARMER.

The military editorial writer OF
the Carson New challenges the Sill
yer State to publish anything Mr.
Bartine sever wrote er uttered
which indicates that in his judgment
the tariff is of greater Importance
than the financial issue, Doubt
less the writer did not read Mr..
Bartines labored effort in an even
ing contemporary in answer to the
structures of Mr.. Wren, in which Mr..
Bartine sneeringly said that II we
have to have new party for silver
then there should, with as much rea"
son, be sugar party, a wool party
etc. This would seemingly put the
silver question on or about the same
plane in Mr.. Bartine's estimation as
the tariff on sugar or wool. Journal

THE FLOODS STILL. RISING.
The Damage Done to Property and Life
Only Half Told.

Vancouver, June 5.-All the lowlands
are inundated by tn rising of the Koot-
enay and Columbia rivers. The village
of Donner's Ferry is inundated, and the
water is rapidly rising. Workmen at
Ruby Creek found floating in the river
a small craft, it's cargo being the dead
bodies of a family of five persons. The
worst has n OF been reported. The Carl
bou river waters have not yet come
down in full force. Reports reached
Vancouver yesterday that five bridges
at Three Forks are down, and the mines
are flooded out. At Griffin Lake, three
mudslides obstruct the track, the COM
bined length of which extends a half
mile. At Craigalachi, bridges are swept
away and the water isFfive feet deep. At
thebreaks along the Canadian Pacific,
men are employed. When the train left.
the men had been working five DAYS and
nights, practically without sleep and up
to their waists in water. At Yale Can
yon the sight is apaling, the water be-
ing churned to milky whiteness in the
mad rush through the narrow pass. The
latest reports from Westminster are to
the effect that the Frazer river continues
to increase in volume, and is gradually
eating into the railways. The river has
risen three feet in the past "a hours, and
is still rising. There is good deal of
suffering in the city and provisions are
scarce.

THAT "MANUFACTURER'
Appears Before the Senatorial In
Vestigating Committee,
AND RELATES THE CONVERSION
HE OVERHEARD

Between Members of the Sugar Trust and
terday-FinaI Action Taken for the
Repeal of the State Bank Tax Bill in
the House-Matters in the Senate.
Washington, June 5.--WaIter CASTOR of
Wilkesbarre, Pa, a wire manufacturer, to-
day was before the Senate sugar investiga-
tion committee. He said he came to Wash
ington in connection with the wire schedule
OF. the tariff bill and registered at the
Arlington hotel, and was assigned to room
33, next to rooms occupied by Fl. l.. Terrell
of the the sugar trust. March he retired
early. About ten he was awakened by loud
talking in the next room, one of those
occupied by Mr.. Terrell. The voices were
very loud and he was compelled to overhear
what was said. With little difficulty he
understood the persons engaged in loud
conversation were talking about the sugar
schedule and the conversation was general.
The witness said he heard the names of
several Senators mentioned. The conversa-
tion related entirely to the sugar schedule
and he heard enough to satisfy him the
Wilson tariff bill could not pass the Senate
unless the demands of the sugar trust were
granted.
Cross-examined Mr.. CASTOR asserted he
knew there were several Senators present,
and he heard the names of Messrs. Terrell
and Reed of the sugar trust. Mr.. CASTOR
refused to tell the names of the Congress-
man to whom he spoke about the conference
at the Arlington, and who is the authority
given for the statements in the Mail and
Express special. He said he did not recog-
nize the voice ofsany Senator or any mem
Der of the sugar trust, but took it for
granted that representatives of the trust
were there because it was Terreli's room.
Neither was he able to tell whether any
Senators were in the room. He heard the
names of Senators mentioned, and from the
tone of conversation he thought the persons
in the room were familiar with the work of
the subcommittee of the finance committee
engaged in preparing the sugar schedule. He
was dismissed until tomorrow.

Tarrytown, June 5.-There is unusual
excitement today in and about the home
of the Catholic Sisetrs of Mercy in this
place, n'account of the wholesale poison
ing of the inmates, who are hom eless
children. Drs. Coutant, Fleming and
Camp were hastily summoned to the in
stitution last night to attend about a
dozen boys. whose ages ranged from 5
to IL years, who were suffering with
symptoms of poisoning. The boys COM
planned of violent pains in the stomach,
and some of them vomited freely. In
vestigation showed that during yester-
day afternoon while the boys were out
on the playground of the institution.
they had eaten poisonous herb which
they found growing on the premises.
The doctors worked with the boys all
night, but in spite of their professional
skill, five of the little Sufferers died.
Seven of them are now in critical con-
dition and some of them are likely to
die.
Coroner Apgar of Peekskill was noti-
fed and has ordered an autopsy to be
made in each case The dead are:
James Forrestal, 10years old: John Cal
lahan, 10; Thomas Cassmore, 10; Au-
gustus Powers, IL; John Donnelly, IL.
E The home is situated in Wilson Park,
on the hill back of Tarrytown. There
are 200 children in the home. The boys
were outplaying in the park yesterday
afternoon, when one of them discovered
a pungent root which he declared, af-
ter tasting, was f1agroot. Many refused
to eat any of the stuff. but some of the
boys fairly gorged themselvesswith it.
About dusk one Of the boys
was taken with cramps, and within an
hour all who had eaten of .the poisonous
root were deathly sick. Such simple
remedies as .the sisters knew of were
applied for the relief of the little suffer-
ers, but without avail. The first to
succumb was the little fellow who had
discovered the root. He died shout 8
o. clock.
