A man in Sand Beach committed sui
eide few days ago from melancholy
conviction that he was his own grand
father. He left this singular letter:
Il married widow who had a grown
up daughter. My father visited our
hoGsefvery often, fell in love with my
step-daughter, and married her. My
father became my son-in-law and my
step-daughter my mother. Some time
afterward my wife had a son, he is my
fathers brother-in-law and my uncle,
for be is the brother of my step-mother.
My fathers wife, that is my daughter,
and also son, he is, of course, my
brother, and in meantime, my grand
child, for he is the son OF my daughter.
My wife is my grandmother because
she is my mothers mother. / am my
wife's husband and grandchild at the
same time. And, as the husband OF a
PERSONS grandmother is the grand
father. FAREWELL" Logic is logic, but
when its devotee gets stuck so full OF
it that he has convinced himself that
he is his own grandfather, the hour OF
his translation should not be needlessly
postponed.
The final decisive action Of the House
Of Representative against the" junket'
SO called, has received the favorable
comment from the press and people oil
the state, which is certainly deserved.
The vote of last Friday showed only
five members who voted for the ten
days adjournment to visit state institu-
tions, the balance OF the House voting
solidly against it. The Senate has
done no business this week having sent
out all its visiting committees to state
institutions, thus practically adjourn
ing for ten days. Their action has con-
siderably retarded the work of the
House and in turn the Senate has re-
ceived deserved censure. 1t is certain
that the opinion OF the voters of the
state was almost unanimous against a
special adjournment at this time and
this should have dictated the action OF
both Senate and House.-Carson City
Gazette.
A bill has been introduced in the
House by Representative Chamberlain
against the manufacture and sale OF
cigarettes in this state that is radical
enough to satisfy the most fanatical
reformer. 1t prohl bits the sale of any
kind Of cigarette or cigarette paper,
and also prohibits anyone bringing
them into the state or having them in
his possession. Violation OF the law is
made felony, d the person who has
the cigarettes in his possession is just
as liable to punishment as the one who
imports them into the state. We
would suggest this amendment: That
any person caught smoking one out
side Of II tannery or a glue factory be
electrocuted on conviction.

Shocking Crimes.
Bond $1,000 in Vincent Case and
$4,000 In Percatore Case.

The most revolving story ever heard in
the sixth district court was that of little
Flora Nincenti, IL years old, who said that
for fonr years, John Mckerns, "a years old,
had taken liberties with her, which at last
resulted i'm the old man having carnal
knowledge of the child. The girl said sho

amount exceed 10 cents. Flora story was

she had also been assaulted by Mckenna.
Both OF the children are bright and
seemed TO tell a straightforward story.
