PUT RENDERS ON STREET CARS

The city governme has always treated
the street car companies with a remarka-
BILE amount of consideration, IN all ways,
but particularly in the refraining from
enforcing the use of even the most urdl-
nary safeguards for the p-otsction of the
public.
The most fragrant case of this kind Is
evidenced by the cross town street rail-
way com pany. Their cars are so large as
TO be in the nature OF street distractions !;
they are operated at entirely too high a
rate Of speed for slfety, especially at the
crossings OF streets, and with criminally
selfish disregard OF the safety of pedes-
tfians. thesa cars are in NJ wise provided
with Tenders. The other street car COM
panies make some sittle show Of Il decent

ably be the case, fatal accident occurs,
and will be morally responsible for what
ever killing or manning these fenderless
cars may do. The council has the power
to make the company put on all possible
safeguards to protect life and limb. 1t is
nonsense for the company to try to evade
the matter by claims that there are no
effective appliances; there are plenty of
them so efficacious as to render it abso-
lutely impossible for a car even to Sc
riously injure, much less kill, person
whom it might strike. If the councilmen
wish to avoid the possibility of being ex-
ecrated as particlating causes in ANY
slaughter that may happen. they will at
once do their duty in this most important
matter.

of great financier; he has large interests
here, being the president of certain bank,
holding a large ownership in the city
water company, besides innumerable

Lost for Ages

In Turkestan, on the right bank of the
Amou Dlara. in chain of rocky hills,
hear the Bokharan town of karkai, are a
number OF large caves which. upon ex-
animation, were found to lead to an un-
derground city. built apparently long be-
fore the Christian era. According to
e!figes, inscriptions and designs upon
the gold ana silver money unearthed
from among the ruins the existence of
the town dates back to some two centur-
les before the birth of Christ.
The underground Bokharan city is
ABOUT two versts long and is composed of
an enormous labyrinth of corridors,
streets and squares, surrounded by houses
and other buildings two or three stories
high. The cdiices contain all kinds Of
domestic utensils. pols. urns, vases and
so forth. In some Of the streets falls OF
earth and rock have obstructed the pas
sages, but generally the visitor can walk
about freely without lowering his head.
The high degree of civilization attained
by the Inhabitants of the city is shown
BY the fact that they built in several
stories, by the symmetry of the streets
and squares ana by the beauty OF the
city and metal utensils and of the orna-
ments and coins. .-Infoi nation.

Sheboyagan means stream that comes from the ground. - Journal Miner
 It means nothing of the kind. Everyone from Wisconsin will in- form you that Sheboyagan takes it's name from the disgustful expression of an old Indian whose wigwam stood on the site of the present city at the time the surveyors were laying out the town. He had wigwam full Of children, but not one of them was Of the warrior sex. Fondly he hoped that one then expected would be a leader of the braves. This fond hope he had expressed to the engineer in charge of the survey, who somewhat sympathized with him. The antici- pated event occurred, and when the sex of the child was announced the old Indian went straight way to his friend, the engineer, and electrified him with the explosive Itterance: "she-boy-agen." And Sheb0yagan the surveyor named the town he platted.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Thursday the people of the United States, with one accord, devoted themselves to the beautiful annual ceremony of remembrance of the dead which had it's inception among the surviving vlctorS of the great war for preservation of the union. While the custom thus established has reached wider practice, and the graves of all are now annually decorated, still the occasion is fraught with lessons of patriotic impulse by which all are protited
 The significance of the day lies in the fact that it recalls to mind that the great mass of Americans believe their country worth fighting for, and that in time Of need it found hun dreds of thousands of heroic sons who willingly died that their country might live. The spontaneous observ- ance of the day is further reminder that in the generation now in active life the old patriotic spirit is still up permost, and that in the hour of need the nation shall not want for gallant defenders.

A Fine orchard.


 Immediately adjoining the site of the town of Nogales on the northwest is the thrifty and handsome orchard of Captain ]. j. Noon. Nestled in a nook in the hills, it is admirably sheltered, and the young and vigorous trees of four years growth, present beautiful sight.
 The house and outbuildings rest or the crest of a commanding elevation. from which is given beautiful view of the northern part of the town, and the orchard below. Near the house is the reservoir, cut into the rock, and cementcd. It will hold 23,O00 gallons. and with present pumping facilities can be readily filled In two days. giy- ing all the water needed for present purposes. Should more water be need ed larger pump would iill the reser- voir in q single day, doubling the sup ply. The windmill in use is of ample power to run larger pump should one be put in The water is conducted to the trees in pipes. A single pipe is used, the joints screwed together. 1t is heightened or shortened at will, and easily taken up and relaid any where over the surface of tue ground. In use. the pipe has a rubber hose at the end, and through this hose each tree is supplied in it's turn. First a circular trench about eighteen inches wide and a foot deep is dug around the tree, some two or three feet away from the butt, where lie the root suck CTS. The end of the hose is put into the trench and it is quickly filled with water, which sinks to the roots. The trench filled with water it is at once covered over with loose dirt and the hose carried on to the next tsse, the pipe being heightened as the distance increases. In this way every drop Of water is utilized, and there Is not the slightest waste.
 The orchard includes some eight acres, and contains two hundred ap- pie trees, three hundred peach, forty apricots, thirty-two nectarines, thir- ty-two pears, thirty plums and prunes two hundred cherrytrees and about three hundred grape vines. The cap tain has been unfortunate this season losing everything by frost, except about one-fourth of the peaches and apples. The grape vines alone will yield a good crop. Last year there was a good crop on all the trees, and it is only exceptional seasons when there is a failure. In this Captain Noon can sympathize with the fruit raisers in New York and other eastern states, who have, in the past weeks, lost everything from the severe fgosts prevailing.

GarbIed and Erroneous Reports.

Editor Journal :--On my return from

directed to what purported TO he re-
port of my evidence in the Mint inves-
tication as published in to- nights
Carson Tribune. and / would like TO
saw in Justice 10 myself that some OF
the statements regarding what L said
are radically incorrect. In the hrst
place / did not say that "Heney
brought gold amalgam to the Keno
Reduction Works on August %. 1898.
or at any other time. What l did
state was that he brought the gold
bullion. Second did not say that
sthe amalgam resembled the gold
examinations in the Mint. Gold am
alram could not resemble gold gran
ulations any more than cow could
resemble a grindstone In the next
place | did ret testify that Heney was
2 tall Irishman. What / said was
that thought he was young Irish
man. and in answer to question
answered that I thought he was about
nv own height or about five feetelgh
inches tall. There are some other er-
rors in the Tribune report but OF no
less moment. I do not think the III
bune intended to misrepresent me,
but it is a satisfaction TO me to make
an early correction. H. ID. Beck.
Reno, April 80. 1895.
II Mr.. Beck did not testify that He
ney brought gold amalgam 70 his
place. he did not testify to the whole
truth y Now we do not for moment
assume that Mr. Beck would hold
back any portion OF the truth when
under oath. He must then be igno-
rant of what gold amalgam is.
Heney brought gold bullion to Beck
and also something which Beck in his
testimony constantly alluded to as
stuff" 1t was really gold amalgam,
but Mr.. Beck did not seem to be aware
Of tbe fact. A man who runs re-
duction works ught to know what
gold amalgam is and not designate it
merely as stuff on the witness
stand.
Mr.. Beck in reading this may know
for the first time that the stuff he tes-
tilted to was really gold amalgam.

arrested and charged with the theft.
The examination Of the accused is be-
ing conducted with closed doors. The
people have been robbed by some per
son or persons who took oath to pro
tect their property and receive pay for
doing so One of those accused OF be-
ing false to his trust is on trial and
the people are not permitted to Know
what foundation, if any, except that
he was EMPLOYED at the Mint. there Is
for the charge that he is a thief. Ihey
are kept in ignorance Of what tran
spiras at the examination. Inc
learned counsel in the case stipulate
that the public shall not know how
the case is being conducted. The
local newspapers publish what is pur-
ported to be report OF the testimony
and proceedings at the examination
but what one asserts as having tram
spired another as emphatically de
MES: so the public doubt, and with
good reason, the correctness of each
and all of the reports.
The people of the United States, who
have been robbed by those sworn and
paid to protect their property. are the
plaintiffs in the Mint case. The pros
ecution is conducted in their name,
and the attorney for the people says
the prosecution has nothing to conceal
in the matter. 1t may then be asked
WHY the doors of the halls of justice,
where the examination is being held
are closed against the people? Has

The APPEAL will state on the author

need of closed doors. and that no man
is bound to secrecy regarding thetesti
mony and that the Court cannot com
nit anyone for contempt. who dis
closes what transpires in the Cour
