WHAT THE FATHERS SAY.

When you ask the Winnemucca girls
father for his daughters hand in mar
riage he looks surprised and says !:
"What are your prospects for the fu-
ture?"
The Carson girls father has different
role to play. He looks surprised, but
pleased, and says: ''You astonish me,
l must have time to consider |" and as
his future son-in-aw leaves the room,
says: "Thank God, there is another one
one Of the girls off of my hands must
hurry up the marriage. before they
quarrel and break off!
The Reno man, as he looks at his pros
pective son-in-law over the rim of his
gold-bowed spectacles, says: "It has
come at last!" and as the young man
leaves his presence he adds: "Now I'll
have to foot another immense bill Can't
help it any way that I see! Girls are
bound to get married sooner or later
If there are any young men to catch !"
But the father in Lovelock says, as he
lays his hand on the young mans
shoulder: II have been expecting this
for some time-sort of bashful were you
not, or you would have asked sooner?
Yes, you can have her my boy, and also
the fifty acres of land in the southwest
corner of my section that has the house
on" and as the young man goes out the
father says to himself: II will reserve
the greater portion for divorce expenses
for my daughter in the sweet bye-and-
bye." Bob.

there were various things which made
the witnesses appear unreliable. IN
order to force him to confession, he
was ten times taken to the scatfold be-

Al to the Mayorship.

The Republicans Of this city want
nothing that does not belong fairly to
them. IfMr. Folk Is elected no one
will give him hsartier allegiance than
will the Republicans and the kE-
rLEcroR. He is, we believe, a big
enough man to be mayor OF all the
city and not Of any faction. But IL
he has not a majority Of all the legal
ballots cast he ought not to be mayor
and. we believe, be is big enough
man not to desire the office under
such conditions.
On the face Of the unofficial returns
Mr.. Folk appears to have a majority
Of one vote out Of q total Of about 100.
1t Is well known that in the hurry OF
election night election boards fire.
quently make mistakes in passing
upon ballots which are not marked in
accordance with the law. There are
several challenged Folk votes includ-
ed in bis total. The fair thing, the
honorable thing to do lis to have an
impartial recount Of all the ballots
cast for mayor and all agree to abide
by this decision. 1t will save court
costs and be no expense to anyone.
II Mr.. Folk is legally elected all
right; il Mr.. Murphy, he should have
the office. II Mr.. Folks friends
believe he has fair majority of the
ballots they will not object to this. 1t
is mere matter Of honesty.
II Mr.. Folks friends will not agree
to such recount the Republicans
have but one honorable recourse-to
bring contest suit in the courts and
probe the thing to the bottom
Let the man who is legally elected
be our mayor but let no doubt rest on
the mayors title to cause hard feel
ings in the future.
The man who received a majority
Of the legal votes OF this town should
be mayor and nobody else.

Exception is often taken to the use OF
the word pedagogue instead OF school
master, when q teacher is to be men
toned. What if one called the place
where teaching is done apedagogue?l 1t
would sound odd enough now, but the
word was formerly used in that sense.

For some time past the nine-year-old
son Of DR.. Darnum, Of Manila, Ind, has
been addicted to an excessive use Of
chewing gum. The habit brought on
appendicitis. An opinion was pre-
formed on the child for the relief Of the
trouble. Two hours after the operation
the boy died. The operation revealed
the fact that the case had been properly
diagnosed, as the gum had impacted in
the parts in such condition that death
would have resulted in a short time.

The statistics of crime in 1896 do not
improve the reputation Of the past
year as a rather dark period in our
history, though the record is not alto
gether unfa,orable by comparison with
previous years. There we're 122 legal
executions during the year and 13l
lynchings, which is a rather startling
commentary on the methods by which
the law is executed and defed In this
country. That neither lynchings nor
legal executions serve to check the
crime OF murder is shown by the state
ment that there we're no less than TO-
$50 mu tlers committed during the year.

The Leap Year Crop.

Although the year which has Just
passed away was leap year, reports
show that in many large cities through
out the country there were fewer mar
riage licenses issued than there were in
the previous year. This leads the Phil
adelphia Inquirer to say: There must
be something wrong about this. Here
was the new woman given an oppor-
tunity to exercise prerogative which
tradition has 80 long accorded to her,
and yet she does not seem to have
availed herself Of it. Hundreds Of men
we're living in alternate hope and fear
that the great question would be pro-
pounded to them, and il was never
asked. II cannot be that she was afraid
the answer would be No. for none OF
her sex was ever known to make that
reply when the right man came around,
and surely there are thousands OF good
men in the world who would have made
excellent helpmeets. 1t may be that
the reasoned and disenthralled young
woman deemed it beneath her dignity
TO assume the old-time privilege, and
If this he so she will have ample time
TO repent before another leap year rolls
ground. Eight years is long time to
wait"

the Legislative Investigating committee.
c. W. Beal, member of the committee,
assisted in compiling the report. The

recovery of that amount is recon-
mcndcd.
The accountant says he e~ndcavorcd
to at the construction of the

able to do so for reason that many Of
the duplicate vouchers and bills which

that portions of the records and papers
of the office were burned when the
Office was removed from the rooms
now occupied by the Acknowledgement

1873.
Unnecessary and unwarranted ex.
penditures are listed at $685., s71. 81.
This amount comprises s49o, 467.7 ~ pro-

These latter expenses were incurred
when the state board and Warden Lei
