Hard Lines For Cutting.

State uperintendent Cutting has
fallen on hard lines. Up to Novem-
Der l, 1895 he had drawn a salary of
5000 Il month. as State Superinten-
dent and ex-of1icio Curator of the
State Museum and ex-officio Secre-
tary of the Orphans Home Board,
but on December LIST, Controller La
Grave refused to draw U;arrant in
his favor for the sum of 5000, salary
due him for 5he month Of December.
Cutting applied to the Supreme
Court for a writ of mandamus to
compel the Controller to draw his
warrant. The case was argued by
Cutting in his own behalf and by At.
torney General Beatty for the Con
troller. The Court rendered it's opin-
ion Monday denying the writ.
The Court holds that Mr.. Cutting
is entitled to a yearly salary of $1,000
as Superintendent of Public Instruc
ton and nothing for his services as
Curator and Secretary of the Orphans
Home Board.
As Mr.. Cutting drew 200 month
UP to November l, 1895, he has over
drawn to the amount of S1lGG.C6
which he will have to make up be-
fore he can draw any more salary
,, Verify, the State Superintendent has

position will compensate him for the

What a Beet Sugar Plant Requires.

WIN" u Deet sugar rant Requires.
The question of establishing beet
sugar plant at Elko was discussed
more or less last year. In order that
our readers may have some idea of
the magnitude Of such an undertak.
ing, we publish below letter receiv-
ed by the Reno Gazette from Claus

answer to the Gazette's request for
information, regarding the require
ments of d plant at Reno:
WESTERN BEET SUGAR COMPANY
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 81, 1896. !
ALLEN @. BRAGG. ESQ, Reno, Ne
vada,-DEAR SIR: In reply to your
letter to Claus Spreckels, he mstructs
me to state that before considering
the question of establishing a beet
factory in any locality he must be
satisfied of two things, viz:
First-That there are 10000 acres
of good available beet land in the
Immediate vicinity of the proposed
factory. This in order that 10000
acres may he planted each year to
beets. The land, after raising beets,
has to be planted to other crops for
two successive years. in order to re.
cuperate.
Second That we must have sam
pies of beets, grown from seed i'm
ported by us, for testing the sacchar,
inc from quarter acre patches here
and there, all over these 10000 acres
so as to convince us that there will
be no lack Of material on which to
work.
L enclose you instructions for rails
ing beets, and will be glad to hear
from you again.
Yours truly,
r.. III. SHELDON, Sec'y.

call dated January 9Th last. The
bonds are redeemable in coin and will
be issued i'll denominations of $50 or

the bidders.
At O'Clock this morning the force
OF clerks in the Loan and Currency
Division began opening and schedul
ing the bids. The clerks were not
allowed to leave the room until the
time for receiving bids had closed, so
that by no chance could any intorma
ton regarding the bids be premature
ly disclosed. The bids were announc-
ed from the schedule already prepar-
ed liz the Secretary's Office, where
large number of bidders and repre-
sentatives of the press were gathered.
Secretary Carlisle entered at II
o'clock. The room was so densely
crowded that it was with much diff.
ficulty he could make his way to a
seat.
The interest manifested to-day at
the Treasury Department in opening
the bids for the present loan far ex-
ceeded that attending either of the
others. AS early as $50 o'clock many
prominent capitalists from New York
and other Eastern cities began to put
In an appearance at the Treasury
AL morning the bond bids came in
rapidly, swelling the already long
string Of bidders. Every mail brought
a list of bonds bids and at IL o'clock
the expectations OF the Treasury Of
ticials were rising and predictions
were freely made that the loan would
be largely Over-subscribed and the
bonds would bring good price. At
ll:3O O'Clock Il large crowd had as
sembled about the Secretary's door
and they were allowed to enter. Soon
all available space was occupied. The
opening and scheduling of bids was
conducted under the direction of AS
sistant Secretary Curtis, by a COM
mittee consisting OF United States
Treasurer, Morgan Comptroller Of
Currency Eckles and Mr.. Hunting
ton, Chief Of the Division of Loans
and Currency. 'e'
The total (corrected) number of the
bids received for the new loan is $40
aggregating S559,569,65O, ranging in
price from par to SIG.
Following are some of the bids:
Joseph Pulitzer bid for S1,OOO,OOO
at STA. In the note accompanying
the bid, he says: "This bid, at the
highest market rate to. day, is in lieu
of the offer of the New York World to
head the list with subscription of
, one million dollars for popular loan
on the basis, which was not adopted,
of an open subscription at a fixed and
equal rate"
j. Pierpont Morgan, Harvey Fisk
81 Son and the Deutchess Bank OF
! Berlin, as syndicate, bid for $780,.
100000 at S1IO. 6S74.
President John A. Stewart of the

@Our bid for the Government bonds
were for 100000 at the fixed price
Of Sl10.075, which nets about 1873 pei
cent. and an additional $40, 100000 at q
lower figure" He says he has re
ceived reliable information from
Washington that no bids below S111
will be accepted.
The bank of California of San Fran
cisco bid S112.78 for 100000.

Go
Dry.

There are three or four young
men in ana about Sequachee who de-
light in going about making both day
and night hideous and flooding the
quivering atmosphere with Sheolic
discords under the impression that
they are singing. Compared with
their musical efforts the wild pas
sionate outburst of a homesick mule
seems like the liquid trill Of a hooking
bird. Ii these youths could be induc-
ed to betake themselves to planning
mill or a boiler factory and study
harmony for three or four years, and
then get some retired clam seller to
give them few hundred lessons in
vocal music, they might, after care
fully lubricating their larynxes with
axle grease, be able to MARBLE few
notes without driving all Of the wild
animals and a large proportion ut the
tame ones out of the country. HUI
man endurance has a limit and when
that limit is reached there will be q
quiet but business like meeting OF
some of our best citizens and few
amateur vocalists will be taken out
and hanged by request.

Here is fruit that nature made

The sugar, the water and all other

the cunning hand of nature and one
cannot gild such refined gold.

It is so near to the humble that it
would be scorned by the high were

the hope to loosen It's hold on their

with stories of cholera and yellow
fever and most of all, with the ague,

KANSAS GERRYMANDERS.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. TO-
The Journal, Republican, print
ing a Topeka special under the
caption, "a Gerrymander Plot"
says: "When the Kansas legis-
lature convenes this winter the
first thing on the program after
the election of a United States
senator to succeed PETER, is to
push the congressional district re-
appOrtiOnment bill through. The
plan of the Democratic-P opulist
members who will control the
Legislature is to divide the state
into eight districts instead of
seven, as at present, and to ar
range the districts so as to make
seven of them safely Populist.
Far-sighted politicians see in this
an opportunity of electing a Pop
ulist senator to succeed United
States Senator Lucian Baker,
thus gaining both members of the
senate and all but one of the
congressman"
