The Reno Journal has the following
to say regarding some Of the rising
generation OF Reno: The young hood
lums in town were on The rampage
last Friday night. and, from reports,
doubtless committed q number Of dep
relations, and il sufficient evidence
can be procured, they will be sent to
the county jail for some time and pos
sibly TO the Carson p~enitentiary. At
the residence of w. ID. Phillips a social
evening was in progress, at which a
number Of Young folks were in attend
ance. The hoodlums made themselves
so obnoxious that Mrs. Phillips was
compelled TO demonstrate with them,
but was met with jeers and laughter.
She was finally compelled to send for
officers to protect her household and
the guests Of her daughters from insult.
But even while waiting for the officers
a window in the teal of the house was
forced open and a quantity Of edibles
were stolen. These scamps kept the
whole neighborhood in that part Of the
town in commotion for an hour or two.

A Model Love Letter.

the idol OF his heart:
DEAREST SWEETEST: My love for you

COW. Sensations Of exquisite Joy go
through me like cohorts Of ants through

heart like q young goat owe a stable
roof. / feel as il I could lift myself
with my boot straps to the height Of a
church steeple. As a lean pup bankers
after sweet milk, SO I banker after
your presence. AS a gosling swimmeth
in a mud puddle, SO do | swim in a sea
Of delightfulness when you are near
me. Ny heart oscillates like a sieve
in a tanning mill and my eyes stand
open like cellar doors In a country
town; il my love is not reciprocated l
will pine away and die like a poisoned
bedbug and you can catch a cold over
my grave.

A Great Mining Camp.

The Salt Lake Tribune says the in
dications all point to a great mining
camp at Mercur, possibly as great as
any in the world. The majority OF the
solid business men OF this city are do
ing very little to either develop or adj
vertise it's possibilities. Still it is a
plain case that if it should become one
Of the foremost mining districts OF this
or any other country. Salt Lake City
would be the chief beneficiary. In Col
orado such a camp would fill the news
papers every morning, and every man
in Denver would be shouting its
praises. The result would help Dem
yer and Mercur both. Things are
done differently ON this side of the
mountains.

HONEST AND COMPETENT.

No State in the Union ever had three
such picturesque, honest and compe-

time as Nevada. declared an old poll
tician, when l.. X. Bradley, an old cat
tie man and millionaire, was Governor /;
Jerry Schooling, an old blacksmith,
State Treasurer, and Bill Hobart, a
prospector, as Comptroller.
Once, when the Legislature refused
to pass the appropriation bill SO that
IN extra session would have to be
called, Gov. Bradley went to Treasurer
Schooling and asked now much it would
take to run the State Government two
years. He was told hall a million dol
lars. Then" said he, tell those
blamed s%coundrels to go to the devil
with their appropriation bill. I'll run
her myself two years." The bill was
passed.
Once old Jerry Schooling bundled
$500. 900 worth Of State bonds into his
old carpet sack and brought them TO
San Francisco to sell for State purpo-
ses. He stopped at the old Cosmopol-
itsn Hotel, on sansome and Bush
streets, and as he was preparing to
leaye for home he asked the landlord
to loan HIM $40. He knew OF Jerry's
mission and that it had been success

asked. You have a carpet sack full

Suppose l should take $40 OF that and

A story which reveals one Of the hor-
rible phases of slavery as it was one
time practiced in the Southern States
has just come to light at Oglethorpe,
Georgia. John Mimms, a substantial
negro farmer took to himself a wife.
The mi vas much his junior, but
it seemed to be a case Of love at first
sight.
They were married, and there was
happiness in their home until a few
days ago, when he and his wife went
to visit his mother-in-law at Granger
vile. 1t was then that he discovered
that his mother-in-law was one OF his
old-time slavery wives. and that Lizzie
Harmon, the woman to whom he had
been married several months, was his
own daughter. 1t is said that the rev.
citation has so proved on the mind OF
the old man that he will have to be

l assert that il is the duty OF the good
housewife to keep down the appetite Of
her husband, writes the Rev. +. S.
Root in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Particularly is this necessary in the
cases Of well to do professional and
business men. In the families OF me-
chanics earning low wages such a warn
ing is almost wholly unnecessary, but
it may be said Of most men in good
circumstances that they eat too freely
Of rich food. II men would begin care
full and systematic physical culture in
early youth and continue the practice
through life, good health would be the
result.
Beyond the age OF 40-at a period
when so many are physically lazy
the superior value Of exercise is appa-
rent, but ordinarily this is just the time
when the hygiene Of athletics is neg
lected. There is no reason why a
punching bag, rowing machine, pulley
weights and other apparatus should be
relegated to college boys and clerks.
But, having done a good deal Of work
in his time, it is almost impossible to
persuade a business or professional
turning 40 to give any sort of at
tention to physical culture il such train
ing has been previously neglected.
Hence | say il is the duty Of a woman
to keep from her husband all rich COM
pounds that will ultimately ruin his
digestion. High feeding is occasionally
neutralized by hard exercise, but in the
absence OF the latter it is mischievous
in the extreme. II your husband will
stand the treatment, begin by switch
ing off from the heavy breakfast Of
hot rolls, potatoes, etc., and set
before him eggs on toast, oatmeal and
coffee.

PROM CARLIN TO ELKa.

The Wadsworth Dispatch having
given publicity to certain rumors re-
garding the proposed removal OF the
Carlin roundhouse, shops, other build
ings and yards to Elko by the railroad
company there is no longer any reason
why the papers OF Elko should be silent
on the proposition.
For the information OF those who
might be misled by the Dispatch ar
ticle, the Independent will state that
the people Of Elko have from time to
time heard rumors of a contemplated
change by the railroad company Of
their terminal buildings at Carlin to
Elko. Acting upon these rumors the
citizens sent a petition to Manager
Fillmore, through superintendent Ag-
Ter, offering the railroad company a
sum OF money and certain material as
a bonus TO move the shops and other
buildings to Elko. In a fewdays a re-
ply was received from manager Fill
more stating that if the people Of Elko
would subscribe a certain amount Of
money and furnish a certain amount
Of material, he would recommend the
Board Of Directors to make the change.
Several meetings were held and the
matter thoroughly discussed before any
steps were taken. An organization
was perfected and w. T. Smith, Edgar
Reinheart and NJ. II. Miller, three OF
our most prominent business men were
elected trustees to conduct negotiations
with the railroad company. In addi-
ton to the trustees, a committee, con-
sisting Of Thomas Hunter, Frank Fer
maid, James Dewar, +. G. Jones and
A. w. Hesson, was appointed to can
vass the town and surrounding valleys
for subscriptions to this fund.
The committee was appointed at a
meeting held last Friday night. which
was attended by nearly all Of the bust.
ness men Of the town. Subscriptions
to the fund were called for at this meet
ing and $3.50 were pledged in a very
short time by those present. The COM
mittee began work on Saturday, and
met with such success that the indie
pendent has no hesitation in saying
that the amount asked for will be ready
whenever the railroad company calls
for it, and Superintendent Agler has
been notified to that effect.
The railroad shops and other build
ings now at Carlin are very much in
need of repairs and it will cost almost
as much to place them in proper con-
dition as il will to move them to Elko
and erect new buildings. This is the
cause for the move on the part OF the
company. The people Of Elko, believ-
ing the change would greatly benefit
the town, have met the railroad COM
pany in the proper spirit and will leave
nothing undone so far as the money
asked for is concerned. TO accomplish
the removal and maintenance of the
shops at Elko.
This matter has not been mentioned
in the Elko papers before for the reason
that ii was thought best not to give
publicity to it until it was known
whether the amount Of money required
could be raised among our people.
There being no further doubt on that
proposition, the facts are given to the
public.
