A Sign Of Southern Growth.

An interesting indication OF the rap
id increase in Southern centres ofpop-
ulation is found in the number Of new
postofiices established in this section.
According to government statistics, as
given in the United States Officinl
Postal Guide, the number Of postoE-
fees in 1890 was G2, 03T. and in 1894
69,OOI, an increase Of 500. OF this
increase the South is credited with
1896, and all the other States with
2l7i. OF the increase the South has
50 per ceut. and the North35 per cent

chaos in the insurgent ranks and lib

no real war. On Saturday the Cuban

A NEW COTTON PEST.
A Wcavil Appears in the Cotton Belt
OF Texas Threatening Great
Harm.

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington has just issued a circular
to cotton planters relative ts a new
and very destructive insect that has
been brought across the Rio Grande
from Mexico into the cotton belt of
Texas, and which, during 1894, SER
iously injured the cotton crop, over 8
territory of about 5000 square miles.
II is wcevil which attacks the cotton
bolls. 1t punctures the boil with it's
beak and lays eggs in the hole thus
made. The grubs hatch and ruin both
the seed and fiber, thus destroying
simultaneously both products of the
cotton plant.
The Texas Legislature, at the rec-
ommendation of the Agricultural De-
partment, is seriously considering the
question Of quarantining cotton from
the insect infected, district. and of
protective legislation, as well as the
enforcement of remedial work by act
of law. Inasmuch as the insect is new
to American cotton planters. there is
much yet to be learned about it's hab-
its before practical remedies can be
suggested This insect is new in Texas
and threatens to spread to other cotton
States, and the entire South is there
fore interested in the problem now
confronting the Texas Legislature.

HIS SALARY TAXED.
HERE'S AN INCOME TAX CUES
TlON FOR GROVER:
Will He have to Pay 1920 on His $50
900 Salary?

WASHINGTON, D. C.-President
Cleveland filled out his income tax
blank. In his return he included his
salary of $50, 900 as chief executive, on
which the tx will be 1920, deciding to
leave it to the proper officers to de-
termine whether the payment of the
2 per cent. assessment viii he in viola
ton of the provision of the federal
constitution which says that the COM
pensstion of the president shall not be
increased nor diminished for the term
for which he shall have been elected.
AS to the payment Of the tax, Mr..
Cleveland has until the lst of July to
make it, and as the constitutional
question affecting his salary will un-
doubtedly have been passed upon be-
fore that time, the president will wait
for the disposition of the matter. Tho
tariff law directs that the income tax
shall be paid by individuals .'to tho
collector or deputy collector of the
district in which they reside" 1t is
said that Mr.. Cleveland is uncertain as
to whether he should claim Buz2nrd's
Bay or New York city as his place Of
residence and that for this reason it is
not unlikely that he will send his re-
turn to the deputy collector in Wash
iuCton.

Horrible Murder.

On Wednesday afternoon, be-
tween / and A o'clock, Mrs. Sars-
man, an old lady living near Cra-
dlebaugh's bridge, about IA miles
from Carson, was brutally murder
ed, supposedly by a tramp. Her
husband was working in field,
and when he came home, about 4
o'clock, he found smoke issuing
from the bed room of the house.
Going into the room he found the
bed on fire. He put the fire out
with a few buckets of water, but
could not find his wife. He finally
discovered blood in another room
and traced it to the bed room. He
now found the body of his wife
among the charred bed clothes on
the bed. Her head had been
crushed by blows from hatchet
and the lower part of her body was
charred and blistered. He imme-
diately alarmed the neighbors and
the officers of Douglas county and
search for the murderer began.
A tramp who was seen in the vicin-
ity the day before, is supposed to
be the guilty man, and if he is
caught he will probably be lynched.
Mrs. Sarsman was 81 years of age
and had resided on the ranch
where she was murdered for the
past ten years. It is hard to con-
ceive what the object Of the murder
was, as nothing was stolen.

Type-Setting Machines.

The Record Union announces that
it will introduce type-setting ma,
chimes in its office as soon as they
can be received from the manufac-
tory. 1t is understood that all the
San Francisco newspaper publish
ers have ordered machines and will
be using them within a few months.
The Post and German Demokrat are
already using them. The Bee has
already announced to its employees
its intention of putting in machines
in the near future-in fact, an en-
terprising newspaper cannot afford
to be without them any more than
it can be without fast printing
press. 1t is believed that in Sacra-
mento such an adjustment of the
machine question can be had as will
allow the old employees to learn to
operate the machines, and thus rob
the change of any anticipated in
jury to the craft.

Hugh Davis, who can make any
thing out of iron, has made device
for shutting water off from the
wheels which drive the screening
machinery and concentrating plant
of the c. r. P. M. & D. Co. Occas-
ionally chain or piece of gearing
would break and before the water
could be turned off with a hand
screw, it would tear things to pieces.
The device Davis has invented is a
cutoff that will turn the water from
striking the cups on the wheels, by
simply pulling lever. If there is
no patent yet on device of this
kind Davis has struck an idea that
may be valuable to him.

About irrigation.

Mr.. Smythe, of the Irrigation Age,
published in Chicago, is in the State
looking up irrigation and agricult-
ural statistics and lecturing on
those subjects. He is very favorably
impressed with our soil and climate,
and will endeavor to induce emil
grafton from the East to investigate
Nevada's resources before locating
elsewhere. We have lots of land
and can have plenty of water with
no great expense. Nevada soil will
raise the best of anything that
grows in the temperate belt, but
different class Of people will have to
settle here to build up the State
on agricultural lines Those men
who have made millions out of
Nevada mines, have taken the
money elsewhere to invest it and
take no interest in what may be-
come of the State after they have
squeezed it for all the gold they
could get. The right kind of people
put into our fertile valleys would
soon build up prosperous commu-
mites, but it must be class differ
ent from the prospecting ranchers
who predominant in the State now.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Smythe
will visit Carson, Mason and Smith
vallies in this county before he
leaves the State.

Pain is always terrible visitant. and often
domiciles itself with one for life This intiic.
tion is preventible, in cases of rheumatism. by
timely resort to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which checks the encroachments of this obsti'
nate and dangerous malady at the outset. The
term Dangerous" is used advisedly. for rheu,
matism is always liable to attack the vital or
gans and terminate life. No testimony is more
conclusive and concurrent than that of physic-
ians who testify to the excellent effect OF the
Bitters in this disease. Persons incur wet
ting in rainy or snowy weather, and who are
exposed to draughts, should use the Bitters as
a preventive of i'll effects. Malaria, dyspepsia.
liver and kidney trouble, nervousness and de-
hility are also among the ailments to which
this popular medicine is adapted. For the in

Must Do Assessment work.

The last Congress did not pass
a law releasing mine-owners from
assessment work, and it is not like
ly that the next one will. This
ought to open up many idle claims
for relocation to people who will do
some real work on them, and in
other cases give employment to
miners by people who think their
claims worth holding on to. Ii a
mine is worth anything at all it
ought to be worth 800 a year in
