jabber gave way for Q few hours Monday
morning. and even Fitzsimmons' dog Va
rum wasforgotten in the sll-absorbing news
Of the prize fght-I mean Indian war
down in Mason Valley. Governor Ssdler
was unduly wskened from dreams OF State
prosperity. and given 9 message announc-
ing the fact that the Piutes had broken
out In Mason Valley and had declared war
on the whites I; asking for soldiers and
arms OF once. The Governor Immediately
set TO work sscertaining the cause Of the
trouble. and Adjutsnt General Gslushs
was dispatched to Y~erington. Armed to
the teeth with his biennial report and the
reports Of other State officers, the gallant
Galusha sailed forth. There was 9 lot OF
telegrsphing about overcosts. haversacks.
meat cans, companies Of soldiers. and some
one said cards and ~orib.boards, but I think
this last is . yarn. The upshot Of the mat
ter is that Galusha has returned and peace
reigns without the firing Of . single can
non. The cause Of the trouble is the kill
ing Of IN Indian by q couple Of whites and
the seeming indifference Of the whites to
bringing the men who did the killing be-
fore the bar OF justice. The men have
been arrested and taken to ~Yerington,
where they will be tried.
The Eureka delegation. prompted by the
spirit Of economy, I wrote you Of the other
day, introduced in the Assembly to-day
two bills affecting Eureks's public ser.
wants slightly. No. 90 requires the County
Assessor 70 pay his own deputy from and
after the passage Of the act. No. 81 fixes
the salary Of the Assessor ct 81 500 . year;
and the salary Of the District Attorney 81
5000 q year. together with fees now allow
ed by law. leaving ell other officers Of the
county high and dry and unaffected. save
by the sympathy they will Of course feel
for their brethren In the service Of the
dear people. This latter act goes into ef-
feet in 1899. Another act Of interest to
Eureka and some other counties was start
cd in the Assembly yesterday by Allen OF
Eureka. providing for the release Of Coun.
ty Assessors from the heavy burden Of per.
forming their arduous duties for as long q
period as four years. II the bill passes
both bouses and is graced with the sigma
turo Of the Governor. Assessors will. like
most other county officers, only have to
labor for term OF two years, beginning
in 1899.
Aliens Income Tax bill was laid to rest
this afternoon. receiving . vote OF . in the
Affirmative. 10 In the negative, absent 2.
Poor plank Of several parties, how unkind-
ly IL IL treated. The other day the Income
Tax bill OF last session was knocked on the
head. apologetically. it is true, but never
theless knocked-and because Of the fact
that there were several Objectionable fea-
lures about ii. The bill killed to-day was
prepared with . view 70 meeting sone OF
the objections, and the ~introducer ear
nestly requested the members to make
such amendments TO ID themselves as might
make 10 agreeable to their own ideas OF an
income tax. but not being very we'll up in
chemistry they oouldn't very well sugar
,his pill so % to make 10 taxable and SIM
ply buried IL. A long, low wall from the
platforms OF two or three political parties
was heard. but passed UNDECIDED. and l
hardly think it will be q cause OF sleepless
nights to many members Of the present
House.
In view OF the fact that ii lie stated with
some authority that the railroad compsn-
les intend to run in about 800 Pullman
cars and diners during the fighting days
OF March, Ii would seem that Assembly
bill No. 81, by Allen Of Eureka, might
have . good chance for life, as 1t provides
for licensing buffet cars ss hotels (; but il
too has gone to rest, having been indef-
nitely postponed by q vote Of IS 10 9. The
railroad company has . whole library OF
sworn statements showing that they are
running their dining cars att most fearful
loss. but OF course their deep love for the
dear people prevents their closing these
cors, and the company prefers self-sacri.
fee to causing the public any %inconveni-
ence.
Neither House was In session on Mon
day. The Senate honored the memory OF
the Daddy OF his country by having the
farewell address read. and also listened
with pleasure TO the ~eloquence OF Senator
Denton. and Summerneld Of Washoe, and
Assemblymen Norcross and Oliver. The
State officers we're represented by Mr.. La
Grave.
The town is plum full Of newspaper
men. and heaqusrters Of nearly all the
great metropolitan dailies are already es-
tablishsd. The Carson girls are dressing
and looking their pretsiest, in the fear that
some Of the many kodak snap shooters may
pop At 'em for their papers. The snaT
shooters are looking for . representative
Nevada girl. and Of course the Carson
girls all want 10 be her." CAB.
