How tender was the love between father and children, and, in help ing him bear his burden, it helped us to delelop se!f-reliance and to be self-sacri- f1cing.

There are many changes going on in to another on the ground of economy. In California COWS can be fed at half the cost they can be at the cast anywhere, and so the Elgin creamery, the largest in the country, is to be transferred -te that state. Cotton seed meal, now so largely employed at the north in feeding cattle. haa lad tn thn l,re ot hulls and meals at ths south for the anna purpose. where cattle can be fattsned cheaper than buy ing them from the west, and this business of fattening cattle promises to add ma terially to the prosperity of the south. Corn is now raised in sufficient quantity to supply the needs of the people in that section, and they are rapidly increasing their own supply of pork. Cotton manu- facture is becoming general at the south, where labor and power is much cheaper than at the north. The coarser fabrics are now extensively made, but the finer will soon follow, as matter of course. Every new industry of this character will lead the southern people to realize the benefits of protection.

Gov. Coffins message is lengthy, as it had to be in treating on the various mat ters he was expected to take up and deal with. In all these respects he gives no uncertain opinion; he proposes to deal radically with certain abuses that have long existed in legislation. The lobby, he declares, ''have humiliated our people, and the good name of our state has suf- fered at home and abroad" He cannot go too far in this direction, for as he says, "a hot spirit of inquiry has been devel- oped among the people," "Never have our people been so deeply stirred in their desire, amounting to an imperative de- mand, for high standards of legislative and executive action" Our representa- tives who propose to trade off the rights Of the people in legislative ..deals ,, will wi44 do we'll to keep in mind the fate of the recreant New York officials, as the spirit of the Lexow committee in the hearts of the people will search them out. IF
 The governor also desires substantial legislative enactments, and says: "The time is ripe, the opportunity unprecedent- ed, for great service to our justly beloved state"
 | In allusion to grade crossings he says the law should be at once so amended as absolutely to prohibit the crossing of steam and electric lines at grades.
 Governor Coffin does not urge the abol- ishing the office of county commission CTS, although he recognizes the existing ''strong sentiment in favor of abolishing the office of county commissioner. He advises, however, that the trading in li- censes, that have been so disgracefully carried on, should be summarily termi- mated by fixing the amount of licenre fees and the number to be granted.
 He favors good roads, and in that he expresses the general public feeling.
 He thinks the expenditures for the sup port of the state militia are eXtravagant- ly high.
 His recommendations about savings banks and insurance interests are to be read in full to get his views. The message, in it's entirety, will give much satisfaction. Now let us look to the legislature to see what will come out of it..

From the Hartford Times report of the inaugural ball in Hartford:

inaugural ball in Hartford:
 Governor Coffin occupied his booth with the members of the party during the greater part of the evening. He was ac- cessible to every one, and his face beam- ed with happiness when some new face was pres nted to him. He and Governor Cady, who led the forlorn hope against him last November, hobnobbed, together during the evening, and seemed to take a particular delightin each others company. Sometimes Governor Coffin would put his arm in an affectionate way on the shoul- der of his defeated opponent, while they chatted confidentially, both exhibiting the cardinal trait of the character of the Am erican gentleman in not allowing person al friendships to be impaired or affected | by political differences. During the eve ming Governor Coffin and Governor Nor ris came together few times, when both could spare moment from their friends, who crowded their booths, and the happy smile that would light up the grave cOun- tenance of the retiring governor showed that his laying down of the cares of state was relief to him, and that he could en- joy without the slightest alloy of regret thegenial companionship of his successor !

Contrary traryto the general impression, higher average price per pound was paid fol Sumatra tobacco as far back as 1873 thar has ever been paid since. The SumatIa method is to plant virgin suil until few crops of tobacco have partially exhausted it, and then to allow the lands to return to forest.

A Reno Mystery.

parties III Reno who deserve to swing

made an effort to ascertain further
particulars in Reno, but without avail
as there seemed to be no one who
knew anything about the matter:
"a young man about 80 years of
age was brought to the Comstock on
last evenings local in most pitable
condition. He was evidently suffer
ing from the effects of some patent
poison. He was partly paralyzed,
and while his limbs we're shaky like
those of a man with palsy.

of his neck and throat, and was almost
speechless. Some of his friends had
brought him to the train and put
him in charge of Conductor Bray,
saying that he had friends in Virginia
who would care for him on his ar
rival.
"The people who brought the suf-
fering man to the train did not give
his name, but SAID he was a butcher
by trade. They told the conductor
the following story of how he came to
be in this condition. He went into a
little saloon kept by an Italian late
Wednesday night and ordered glass
of beer.
after drinking the beer he went
to the back Of the place and that was
the last thing he knew until morning.
When he Weakened from his stupor it
was daylight and he was lying in the
street in front of the saloon. When
he entered the saloon the night be-
fore he had on his person a watch
and valuable gold chain, besides a
quantity of money. These were gone,
and it dawned upon him that he had
been drugged and robbed. He call

Death Of Mrs Annie Reckhart.

The people of Elko were shocked
this morning as the news spread over
the town Of the death of Mrs. Annie
Reckhart, wife of Frank j. Reckhart.
Only few days ago Mrs. Reckhart
was on the streets, now she lies in the
cold embrace of death. She sleeps
where no cares or sufferings disturb
her. While her dear ones are sorrow
ing, she is sweetly resting in that
beautiful home where the tear Will
never more dim the eye, and where
parting will never be known. Fare
well, wife and mother; we shall miss
thee, but we shall think Of thee and
Of the pure and gentle life thou didst
live with us. We shall endeavor to
initiate thy virtues and will meet thee
IN the land beyond.
Mrs. Reckhart was an active mem

Elko, and also Treasurer of the La

and jealous worker in the cause she
loved so well. She will be greatly
missed by the Church and Aid So.
ciety. The Church and Society ex-
tend to the bereaved family their
sympathy and will ever pray Gods
blessing to rest upon them.
The deceased leaves husband, two
daughters, Minnie J. and Lena A.,
aged ID and IL years respectively, and
relatives in New York, Brooklyn and
Jersey City to mourn her loss.
Human words Of sympathy and con-
ISOLATION fall far short OF assuaging
the sorrow for the loved and lost.
They can not bind up the broken
heart or cure the sorrowing soul.
This can only be done by Him who
died that the race might live beyond
the tomb. To Him, we point the
sorrowing husband and children for
consolation.
May the bright, unselhsh example
or their lost ono's life be a beacon
light in the great Beyond to guide
them safely over LIES rugged path
to that beautiful home where the wife
and mother sleeps.
The funeral will take place from
the Presbyterian church tomorrow
afternoon Mt o'clock. The remains
will be LAID away in the Odd Fellows
cemetery.
