SHORT DElIAIN

At the Methodist Episcopal parsonage
at Reno, last Tuesday, Edward D. shori
and Alice L. Denning were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. j. A
Brealy.
The groom was supported by his
brother, Will Short, and Miss Daisy
Budien acted as bridesmaid. The cere-
mony was private, the principals steal
ing a march on their many friends who,
while anticipating the marriage, were
taken off guard.
Ed Short has made himself very popu-
lar during his residence here by being
the possessor of an even disposition.
He is a jolly good fellow and views the
world with a sunny light that casts its
influence for the better and brighter up
on those who are to apt to look at the
gloomy side. The man who is blessed
with such attributes is in turn a bless
ing to others.
In the lady he made his wife he will
find q very sweet comparison for life.
She is a thorough lady and OF character
and disposition 80 mild and happy, that
the light Of her presence is felt like a ray
of sunshine.
We can heartily congratulate Ed upon
his conquest and wise choice.
The couple have our best wishes for a
life of happiness and prosperity and
every Joy in the world. We are more
than glad that they will reside at Wads-
worth and be part of our W social life.

SHIPPING EAST.

E. Olinghouse has returned from
Churchill county, where he has been
trying to induce some of the stockown-
ers on the Upper Sink to stand in with
him to make up a trainload of beef cat
tie to be shipped to the East about the
18th OF this month.
He has not received a definite answer
as yet and, If it should be unfavorable
to the proposition, he will make up a
small train OF his own cattle, the first
destination to be Columbus, Nebraska.
At that point he proposes to feed them
corn until they are in tirst-cla.s condi-
ton for the market.
Mr.. Olinghouse made his initial ship
memt to the east last spring, taking his
stock to the Omaha yards. HI Essays that
prior to that shipment, AZ was the top
price offered to him and other stock
owners in this vicinity.
After several shipments had been
made to the east, the buyers here were
not only offering 81 but were looking
for beef cattle.
On his eastern shipments he received
SOL gross and 500 net.
So long as the buyers have plenty of
chances to buy, they bear down the
prices, but when the shipments are
made to the east, the price here adj
vances and it is better for those who do
not ship.
1t looks to MS that if the stock-owners
would pool, some to send east and the
others to keep their cattle here for
awhile after, and all to share around on
the re~alizations here and east, the bus
mess would not always be one-sided and
that on the buyers side.
His experience at Omaha showed him
that corn-fed cattle which were not as
good lockers as his, or larger, weighed
$50 pounds a head more, and brought a
better price.
AT the stock yards in the east, the cat
tie have all the feed and water they want
up to 4 o'clock, at which time the buy
ing and selling is done, while here, as
everybody knows, the buyers want the
sellers to shrink the cattle for twelve
hours.
John Sparks shipped his cattle, Thurs
day, from Reno to Chicago.
Nh. Dorsey tells the Elko Independent
that his hay-fed cattle realized better
prices than the corn-fed cattle. This
may be on account Of the grade OF the
stock, Reference is made elsewhere in
to-aay's DIspATcH oil Mr.. D~orsey's vent.
ure. 1t takes Nevada cattle about three
days to get on their feed with corn.

Married.

Last Wednesday, at Palisade, William
Funk, the ~well-known conductor, was
married to Miss Celia Baum of that
place, and the happy people passed
through Thursday, on their way to San
Francisco, where they will spend their
honeymoon.
The groom has been in railroad service
here for a number OF wears and is highly
esteemed.
The bride is a Nevada-raised girl Of
estimable qualities, and Mr.. Funk is to
be congratulated upon his choice of a
wife. They will take up their residence
at Winnemucca.

the ease more especially in wards
four, five and two.
Being pressed for time, we have
been unable TO visit the colorad
Poor House, it .eing several miles
out of town, but we have made
inquiry Of the officers of tho par
ish, and some of the best citizens.
and find they are properly cared
for, bumancly treated, and their
quarters in u good sanitary condi-
tiOn.
We further find that the public
roads throughout the parish are not
in as good condition that they might
be, and would recommend that the
Overseers thereof be little more
jealous in the discharge of their
duties. We are well aware of the
fact, that considering the season
of the year, all public highways
are necessarily muddy, but there
are some places in some sections
that could be very much improved,
and would caution these Overseers
to see after them st once, and save
trouble before the next Grand Ju-
ry. We refer particularly to some
roads in wards one and ten.
We trust that we may have
season OF prosperity, and with a
Prohibition law well enforced,
decrease IN crime of all kinds
throughout the parish.
There is a certain abuse of the
public ferries throughout the par
ish, which we think demands the
attention of our Police Jury. 1t
is common in some places for par
ties living near public ferry to
keep a boat which the public is al
lowed to use without charge, TO the
serious detriment of the ferryman,
who leases his ferry, and gives
bond for the faithful performance
of certain duties. We call the at
tention of the Police Jury to this
matter, and recommend that they
adjust matters for the better pro-
lection of said ferrymen.
We have given some attention to |
the affairs of the School Board, and |
our investigation justities us in |
saying the financial condition of |
the public schools is quite healthy,
there being some $693 rs in its
treasury to the credit of the School
Fund, with an apportionment of
$3.50 from the State, to be received
soon. We regret to say however,
the public do not take the interest
in the school affairs of the parish
we think the Importance of the
same requires.
rendering our thanks as a Grand
Jury to the Court for cOurtesles
to our able District At
torney for his counsel and atten-
tion, to our worthy Sheriff and
Clerk, for their valuable assistance
in the discharge of our duties and
to Mr.. Black our most excellent
1oor-keeper through a long, cold
session, we now. ask to be dis
charged for the term.
