mansion to the senate chamber, crowd
from his seat the president pro tenn
and preside himself, declare the vote a
tie, giving his vote in the affirmative
securing the passage Of the bill, and
then return to the executive mansion
and sign the bill and make II a law?
Chandler passed to the senators slips
containing the question and invited a
reply to Ii.
AT this point lively colloquy oc-
CURED on taking up the resolution for
senate inquiry into the recent bond
issues. PETER called attention to a
unanimous agreement that his bond
resolutions should be taken up at 2:15
O'Clock to-day. Chandler desired to go
on and Gray said he wished to follow.
Cullom also pointed out that appropri-
alton bills were pressing.
Stewart protested against side
tracking the bond Investigation. 'It is
more important to know whether II is
to be the policy to go on issuing bonds
without limit than IL is to pass appro-
priation bills" eclared Stewart IF
all this money IL to be raised by bonds,
then you must get rid of 1t some way
by appropriations" Stewart said he
would ask before long how much
money was on hand to meet these ap-
preparations. He added that If there
was any disposition to crowd out this
bond investigation then he would OBJ
Ject now, even to the discourtesy of
the senator on the floor (Chandler).
PETER said he was willing to wait un-
til Chandler finished his speech, but
Gray objected to an arrangement on
this basis unless he was included.
Morrill, thereupon made a point of
order that the Dupont case was a ques-
tion of the highest privilege and that
senator speaking on IL could not be
taken off the floor. The vice president
promptly sustained the point of order
Wolcott intervened with the sugges-
tion that the senator's had given unani-
nous consent to take up the bond reso-
luton at 2:15 O'Clock and an unanimous
agreement was not open to a point of
order.
Peffer, in the same lines, said he had
never before heard of a unanimous
consent being broken. This bond reso-
luton had been put off with one ex-
cuse or another until he was tired
Mitchell proposed a compromise that
the bond resolution come up immedi-
ately after Chandler and Gray closed
their speeches. Peffer assented and
unanimous consent to this effect was
given.
Gray took the floor to speak I'm oppo-
sition to Dupont, but at his own re-
quest he was permitted to defer his
remarks until tomorrow. The senate
then, at O'Clock p. m, adjourned.

Dealer III Furniture and ReddiDS

This Well-knOWn furniture house was
established in 1870. Geo. w. Kitzmeyer.
the founder, came to Nevada in 1868 from
saddle and harness business with his
brother, d. G. kitzmeyer, i'll 1864, but
from 1870 to the present time his bust
ness life has been devoted to the furni-
ture trade in which he has made a credit
able success from a financial point of
view as well as a reputation for fair and
honorable dealing.
The stock of goods carried by this
house during the palmy days of Nevada
would have done credit to a furniture
store OF an Eastern city, and the stock
now carried is one of the largest in the
State. 1t Is noticeable, however, that
while the artistic furniture for the man
SION is still carried in stock. the palmer
and more serviceable kinds used by the
people are in greater demand and are
kept in greater supply and variety.
Mr. hltzmeyer's ground floor sales
room, fronting on Carson street, is one of
the largest in the city. Add to this the
second floor and a basement. each 5OxIM
feet, all occupied by the stock and the
cabinet and upholstery shops, and we
have the largest floor space as well as two
OF the largest furniture salesreoms i'm
Nevada.
Geo. w. Kitzmeyer is deservedly pop
ular in business circles and commanding,
as he does, an ample capital and an un,
limited credit, and buying in carload lots
on most advantageous terms and direct
from manufacturers, he possesses advan-
tages in prices which, in a considerable
measure, are shared with patrons. His
local business is still important, despite
the general business depression, and his
country trade is the largest of any furni-
ture house in Nevada.
Mr.. KitZmeyer was born in Germany,
but having been in the United States
since childhood, is thoroughly Ameri-
canized. He occupies his own business
property, and is recognized as one of the
leading merchants Of Carson and Of the
State.

Millinery and beaEer in Fancy
Goods. EmbrGider! silks. Draper
les. Dress Goods, Art Materials.
Etc. opposite the Depot.

Mrs H. s. Wells began business in Car
son in February of h present year with
a very complete line of fancy goods,
dress goods. draperies, fashionable TRIM
mings, ETC., alsoa very complete line of
art goods, designs and patterns. Later
there was added to the stock a line of
fashionable millinery.
In point of business education and fit
ness for the head of such an enterprise as
this, there is but one opinion among
dealers and others who NOW of Mrs.
Wells artistic taste and education. She
had fifteen years experience in a fash
ionable millinery establishment in Bns-
ton, Mass, and having had three years
residence in Carson, and being also as
sisted by a skilled trimmer of fashion
able hats and b%Onncts, is able to furnish
her patrons with the latest and best of
everything in millinery and the other
special lines mentioned.
Mrs. Wells is also local agent for the
| celebrated Singer Sewing Machine and
keeps a fuk line of sewing machine sup
plies. II is proper to state in this con-
nection that Mrs. Wells is prepared to
sell machines upon the most favorable
terms both as to price and as to terms of
payment.
Mrs. Wells carries nc siaoddy goods of
any kind. Besides her town patrons she
has an excellent trade in the country. a
very careful attention is given TO mail
orders, and ladies in the interior wanting
millinery or other goods may be assured
their orders will be filled with the same
regard for style and fitness as though
they were present i'll person.
Mrs. Wells is so well-known in Carson
and has so wide a circle of friends and
patrons that she needs no word Of com
mendation from the writer; but he may
add that her noble sympathy for the poor
and her open hand i'll giving to all de-
serving charities attest that the refined
instincts of noble wOmanhood have not
been marred by the sterner realities of
business.

Hi BRIGGS HOUSE.
Gilbert Briggs. Proprietor.

The Briggs House was built by George
Tufley in the latter sixties and was pur-
chased by Gilbert Briggs, the present
owner, in 1880. The building is a three
story brick structure, eligibly located in
the heart of the business center of Car
son. There are forty-eight guest rooms,
all well furnished and arranged in UGH
! a manner that each room may be heated
separately. The office and reading and
writing rooms are on the ground floor.
the parlor, which is elegantly furnished,
on the second floor and the dining ROOM.
one OF the finest in the State, is ON the
first floor. The cuisine is unexcelled by
any moderate priced hotel in the State,
and the attendants, porters and walters
are obliging and courteous.
The Briggs, while giving such excep-
tional Accommodations, extends very
reasonable rates, and is pre-eminently
the peoples house of Carson. 1t is
lighted with gas and electricity, has all
modern conveniences and is in all re-
spects first-class. A bus meets all in
coming and outgoing trains and every
!. induducement is extended to secure the
patronage of the public. The Briggs
, House is only less well-known through

than is its proprietor and namesake.
5 Gilbert Briggs was born in the State OF
Michigan, but has been a resident of Ne,
vada twenty-one years. He has beer
twelve years in the hotel business and is

MRS. BESSIE VIVIAN MURPHY
Millinery Emporium.

In every city of any importance in the
civilized world there is one place, above
all others, recognized by the votaries of
fashion as headquarters for some par
tlcular line OF lines pertaining to tie
wardrobe. In no instance is this fact
more conspicuous than in the preference
evidenced by the fair sex for the thor
Oughly cosmopolitan millinery estab-
lishment.
The millinery parlOrs which form the
subject of this sketch, though so receptly
established, the doors having been opened
for business in September of the present
year, have become recognized as the bon
ton establishment of the kind in Carson,
and its location, i'll the Arlington House
block, is alike eligible to ladies visiting
the Capitol City and to our own residents.
The stock carried is as diverse as are
the tastes of a community, and comprises
a very complete line of fashionable mil
linery, including a well selected stock of
trimmed and untrimmed hats, bonnets
and caps of everydescriptiOn.
Mrs. Murphy does all trimming her
self, and all order work is lone in such a
as to please the most refined and
Institutions taste. She employs. in the
busy season., skilled assistants, but all
work done is at all times under her SUI
pervision and direction.
Mrs. NJ urphy is a IN of superior
taste and culture, and she takes a just
pride in being thoroughly abreast of the
eastern styles and in being able to sup.
ply from her own stock the demands OF
all patrons. She gives her personal at
tention to every detail of her business,
and the large patronage that has already
been accorded her amply attests the es
'eem in which she is held by both the
fair and tn e brave.

This is the pioneer steam laundry of

present proprietor.
The perfect modern iaundy may be
SAID to have had its birth in Troy, n. y
1t was ia that city that the first modern
laundry machinery was made and the
first laundry operated. 1t is worthy of
note that ia American Steam Laundry
IS equipped throughout with Troy ma

Tor the work to be done. 1t is significant
500 that some of the finer work is still
done by hand. While doing all kinds of
work in the very best manner the
specially of this laundry is fine family
and gentlemen's work. Respecting the
class of work lone we may say that it is
uniform in excellence and approaches

the most competent experts.

CARSON SODA WORKS.
a. Wood, Proprietor. Corner Car
son and bird Streets.

This is the pioneer soda works of Car
on. The business and plant We're our
chased in 1891 by Henry Wood. the pres
ent owner, and has since been success
fully conducted by him. Mr.. Wood is a
skilled and experienced manufacturer of
cordials, elders, ginger ale, sedas, mineral
waters and other esrbonated beverages,
AMI has gained quite a large and ex-
tended trade for the products of the Car
son-Soda works
Besides supplying a large local trade
with sodaS of all desired fayors, cream
soda orange cider, ginger ale and other
soft'drinks, Mr. Wood ships his goods to
Mason Valley, GlenbrOok, Hawthorne
bridgeport, Wellington, Lundy and 70
other points.
Manufacturing in Carson must, for
reasons plainly apparent, be confined to
products for home consumption and for
shipment only to nearby places. Mr.
Wood appears not only to have found
one OF tie few manufacturing opportuni-
ties having the requirements named as
necessary to success, but to be also, by
reason OF his skill, exceptionally able to
make a continued success OfbiS business
1t is interesting in this connection to
st"oc oLdt oiIiS 10 lle HedteSI ana most
cleanly soda works the writer has aver
seen. In explanation of this fact it is
SUFFICIENT to say that both M. and Mrs.
WOOD give their own attention to the
manufacturing department.
henry a WOOD is a native OF the State
of Ohio lie has been for sixteen years
a resident of Nevada, and having given
especial attention to chemistry and tC
compromising beverages, has become one
OF the most successful manufacturers al
his specialties in the State. He runs q
wagon for the free delivery of goods to
city patrons and makes shipments to ont.
side points and commands the very hes
trade OF the State for his goods.
