cisco last Wednesday announcing

would prolong her life. Mr.. Cook
went to San Francisco to attend the
funeral 1t is but eight months
since Mr.. and Mrs. Cook were mar
ried, and the bercaved husband has
the sympathy of the community in

Tha Annapolis Cadetship.

Professor ]. E. Bray wrote to Con-
gresham Newlands six weeks ago
relative to the Annapolis cadetship,
suggesting that it be determined by
competitive examination. The final
examinations take place in June and
August, and the State competitive
examination should take place with

Quoted by a commission to be APP
pointed by Mr.. Newlands. 1t is
hoped that Nevada's Congressman
will appoint a commission that will
conduct it fairly and impartially in
the interest of some bona fide Nevada
youth.
Congressman Newlands has the
right to appoint any boy he sees fit,
without holding competitive exam
nation, but it has been the custom
of late years to hold such an examin-
alton and select the brightest appli-
cant for the position, which is GER
tainly the only fair way to do. That
does away with all fayoritism and
gives every boy, whether rich or
poor, chance to compete, and, if
successful, receive the appointment.

Who Dored the Cake?
At the return Leap Year party c

At the return Leap Year party on
Friday night in Carson a disgusting
outrage was perpetrated on the
guests that resulted in tho sudden
sickness of about dozen people. At
midnight supper was served aud a
few minutes after supper quite a
number of ladies aud gentlemen were
Obliged to unceremoniously absent
themselves from the Hall. There is
grove of small trees in the rear of
the place ana the sight of a number
of people leaning up against the
trees and throwing up their suppers
was very ludicrous.
Several of the musicians in the or.
chestra had to drop their instru-
ments in the midst of the waltz and
seek the open air and tree to lean
their shoulders against.
A number of ladies were sitting
about tue bali room as pale as ghosts
wondering what was coming next,
The greatest excitment prevailed
when the extent of the outrage be-
came known. The trouble was sup
posed to lay in an innocent looking
chocolate cake which WAS placed on
the table by nobody knows who, al
though several persons are sus-
pected.
1t is supposed by some that the
cake was doctored for the ReB,o ,a,s
sicians, there having been some feel
ing engendered by the management
of the ball sending to Reno for the,
music. Some of the cake has been
saved and sent to the Reno Univer-
sity to be analysed. Carson Appeal

Silver Peak.

Ed. BULLETIN Silver Peak is still
here, but everything loose at one end
has been blown away by the north
wind which has been tearing down
through the hills for the past week
There are rumors of war here. and
the prospects are bright for fun in
the near future for somebody. We
are all anxious for something to turn
up to relieve the dull monotony of
these times. A camp in which there
is never a fight or foot race, and
where all hands have to go to bed in
self-defense at 8 o'clock in the even
ing it is too slow for Nevada. The
average man works as often as he
can, winch is but seldom, and occu-
pies his mind during his leisure hours
wondering where he will go to find
place where he can earn three dol
lars a year over expenses. News
from Montgomery is discouraging.
No pay-days, no money, and, as to
the future, mo sabe,"
At the Peak there are few men
working on the hill. Tile teaching
works are running and as long as
they continue to work there is a
hope.
The farmers of Fish Lake valley
are anxious for more snow in the
mountains to supply water for next
Summers crop, but the Winter is so
far gone that there will not be much
more fall, probably.
When anything happens of inter
est to your readers l will be glad to
inform you, but there is absolutely
nothing of Importance to write of
now. VOLCANO.

Action in Mr.. Atchison's case was
referred to the District Attorney.
Nearly all of the discrepancy is on
account Of recording benefit notices
in 1894-95 He charged for this
work by the folio, as for other work
in his office, and the experts report
that he should charge one dollar for
each mine taking the benefit, no mat
ter if one man owned so mines and
included them all in one notice No
fraud is charged, but there is diff
ference of opinion as to the eonstruc-
ton of the law.
The main part OF the claim against
Robert Stewart is on account of fees
collected from the State on account
of special election of 1889. Mr..
Stewart claims that he performed
this work for the State and that the
State paid him. The courts may be
called upon to settle the matter.
