Nevada Land.

The Nevada state land Office has
received notification that the pow
ers at Washington have taken up
matter that will greatly help Ne
vada, says the Carson Nea0s.
Parties applied to the state Office
for land belonging to the two mill
ton acre grant and the state on be-
half of these applicants has asked
the authorities at Washington to
make out the necessary papers.
This has been going on for from two
to twenty years and the Office at
Washington has been either too
busy or too tired to attend to it.
About thirty or forty thousand
acres of Nevada land have been ap-
piled for under this act and now
the deeds will soon be issued.

More water Needed.

The fire in Chinatown last week
demonstrated the fact that our els
terms do not hold any too much
water, and that the feed pipes to
them are not large enough to keep
water enough in the cistern to sup
ply the engine. Only one stream
was used last week, and the cistern
was pumped nearly dry in twenty
minutes. If big fire should oc-
cur in the town where two streams
had to be used the water supply
would fall short very soon. The
way to remedy this would be to put
in a feed pipe that would carry the
full volume of water in the main
log. This will cost a little money,
but the citizens should contribute
and have the work done at once.

The KNIGHTS Bail.

The anniversary ball Of Lyon
Lodge No. IL, K. of p, given at
Odeon Hall last Thursday night
was the most enjoyable affair of the
kind that has taken place in Day
ton for some years. The music was
furnished by the Virginia City ju-
venile orchestra, and was decidedly
good. Many people were present
from outside towns, and the con-
gregation was a merry one indeed.
Supper was served at the Occident-
al Hotel at midnight, after which
the dancers returned to the hall and
hoed 'er down until the small hours
of the morning. The Knights are
to be complimented on furnishing
the community with such an enjoy
able entertainment.

They were accompanied by Messrs.

ground they examined. 1t is the
intention of this company to get

MISSIONARIES IN CHINA.
Grave Mistakes Made by inexperienced
Men and Women.


Men and Women.
Nothing is more remarkable than the
extraordinary and needless zeal of the
modern missionary in China, says the
the Philadelphia Times. Regardless of
all dangers, the. young aspirants for
missionary work, needless of former
mishaps, make the long and tedious
voyages into the interior far from any
help. | have seen young married peo-
pie, with child clinging to the breast
of its mother, start out from Shang-
hal for the north, not knowing one
word of the Chine~e language. The
force of folly could no further go. OF
the great Importance of knowing
the Chinese language before at
tempting to preach, and of the pa
thence required in mastering the same,
too much cannot possibly be said. In
the mandarin which is the dialect
used by all the officials in the eighteen
provinces, there are to every sound four
distinct tones. If the young missionary,
after studying for year or more the
common every day phrases and char
acters, starts out an itinerary from the
stations, and during street sermon
does not use the right tone or infection
of his voice with certain sound. he
will convey to his hearers an absolute
ly different meaning from that intend
ed. The four tones in the mandarin"
are: First, an ascending tone, giving
high explosive sound, as when in an
ger; second, a rising infection, as when
making an inquiry; third, curving,
and fourth, a lowering infection. The
language, containing tens of thousands
of words and characters, has only two
or three hundred sounds, which neceS-
states the great tone difficulty. Flu
ropean children, born in China, hear
and reproduce the tones naturally and
unerringly, but the tongues and ears
of the missionary must be trained by
careful and persevering attention. Ser
ious troubles have at times been traced
to plumbers made by slips OF the tongue
and neglect in using the proper tone.
Ignorance in this matter may lead to
speaking disparagingly of old customs
or perhaps an unintentional condemna-
ton of the sacred rites eXpOunded by
Confucius Old and experienced mis-
sionaries assert that it is great mis-
take, and very often the cause of grave
consequences to allow inexperienced
men and women to deal with the Chi
nese, whose passions lie in dormant
state until aroused, when at the slight
est provocation they break forth with
the fury of wild beasts.

Yellow Dog That Crows Like q Rooster
and Also Initiates Several Animals.
A narrator gives an account in the
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat of a trip
through Missouri. in the course of
which he says: IT was the guest OF
the Rev. Frank M. Downing, who lives
in the neighborhood of a small settle
ment called County Line. His fam
ily consists of himself and wife and a
small yellow dog, which | noticed re-
ceiyed an unusual amount of care and
attention AS there was nothing par
ticularly attractive about the dog.
which was only mongrel cur, rather
wondered at their manifest affection,
and one day inquired the reason of it.
Mr. Downing, for answer, called
Bench" and placing him in a chair,
commanded him to Grow" My as
constituent was unbounded when the
dog gave a perfect imitation of
Shanghai rooster, and without further
command followed it with the neigh
Of horse, lowing of cows, grunts and
squeals of pigs, meouwing of cats, and
various noises incident to farm life.
He could give all the yelps of a pack
of hounds in pursuit of fox, and in so
realistic a manner that you could
scarcely help believing that hunt was
in progress.
Mr.. Downing said nobody had
taught the animal, and his peculiar i'm
itatiVe powers were discovered by &C
cident. The summer previous, when
Bench was mere puppy, the Rev. John
Malcolm, the preacher for their circuit,
was i'll at DoWning's house and was
made extremely nervous at night by
a rooster growing at all hours beneath
his window. The people who were at
tending could not discover the rooster,
but one morning Mrs. Downing, in pass
ing the window, was startled by seeing
the puppy throw back his head and
crow. He quickly learned to crow at
command and each day picked up some
new sound. Last November a neigh
bcr of Mr.. Downings carried Bench to
Nashville while the circus was there,
and the manager offered a handsome
price for him, saying that he was con-
WINGED Bench could be taught to talk,
but Mr. Downing refused to give him
up. In appearance Bench is not pre-
possessing, his color being a dirty vel
low, his hair coarse and wiry, his legs
short, and his body rather unWieldy.

FIVE ARRESTS MADE.
Warrants Called For the Body of Each
Victim Served

Warrants Called For the Body of Each
Victim Served.
Justices Slater and Mathews turned
over five warrants to Under Sheriff
Ia7kins this morning for service upon
those whom Street Supervisor Boyle is
alter for failure to clean the snow from
their sidewalks. The warrants we're
civil warrants against the bodies of
the following men: DR.. E. G.. Hazelton.
y. G. Simmons, f. w. Blihn, John
Lindemann and August Kober.
The work of serving the warrants
kept Mr. Harkins busy all the fore
noon. Without an exception the serV-
ice of the papers was a surprise GH each
of the victims. Not one of them eX-
pected that he was connected with
this deal.
The scene at the justice courts this
afternoon when the sorry procession
marched up ln~answer to Mr.. Boyle's
summons was unique. The first to APP
pear on the scene at Justice Slater's
court was E. W. Blinn. He recognized
the Importance of obedience to the law
and at once proceeded to settle his
case. lie was let off for the nominal
sum of ST. and costs, amounting in all
to about So.
Z. G.. Simmons came up next. He
sat down quietly to investigate the
charge and to inquire what was wanted
of him. Mr.. Simmons explained that
he did not remember that the sidewalk
for the failure to clear off which he was
drawn into this net was inside the city
limits When Mr.. Boyle came in he
asked why he had not been notihed
instead of arrested Mr.. Boyle stated
that he had not the time to notify
everybody whose sidewalk was not
cleaned off. The side walk in question
was the one adjoining the old Sc0Lford
works. Mr.. Simmons stated that he
did not see the Justice of the move and
he asked for The privilege of consulting
his attorney before he decided what he
would do Justice Slater granted the
request.
When asked by the NEWS man if he
would fight the matter he said he
could not say, but he would like to see
if fine for such thing was legal and
whether the law would stand the test.
August Kober, the otter man wanted
in this court, was not found.
Justice Mathews court was occupied
first by Dr. E. G.. Hazelton's case. He
at first said that be would fight
the case. Mr.. Boyle at once
ordered the justice to issue subpoenas
for three or four witnesses, but before
they could be made out the doctor de-
cded to pay his fine. He was also as
sessed the nominal 81 and costs.
John Lindemann WAS not found at
press time, but he will have to come up
next.
Com. Boyle says this is only the be-
ginning. He proposes to make the job
complete one, and pull up about
forty more by next Monday. He is
settled on one thing, and that is the
ordinance is to be enforced.

Dimdent Daughters.

It is a painful spectacle in families
where a mother is the drudge, to see
the daughters, elegantly dressed, re-
Ginning at their ease, with their draw
ing, their music, lneir fancy work, and
their reading, beguiling themselves OF
The lapse of hours, days ana weeks,
and never dreaming Of their RESPONSE
bilities, but, as a necessary consequence
of neglect of duty, growing weary OF
their useless lives, laying hold of every
newly invented stimulant to arouse
their dropping energy, and blaming
their fate, when they dare not blame
their God for having placed them where
they are. These individuals will often
tell you, with an air of affected COM
passion-for who can believe it real?-
that poor mamma" is working herself
to death; yet no sooner do you propose
that they should assist her than they
declare that she is quite in her ele-
ment-in short, that she would never be
happy if she had only half as
much to do.
