Many people are considerably eX-

for a chance to make money out of
the visit Of The great sloggers to this

to make money would be much bet

the great natural of Ne

land boom that will strike this coun-
try within the e year or two as
surely as water runs down hill

FEBRUARY 21
SUNDAY
ORDER AT THE RING SIDE.

The following is what Martin
sociate at Reno:
There is M thing certain, Corbett
never intends to win this fight on the
square. I have heard from the most
ment on foot on the part Of the other
crowd to pack the riI gside with Il
push" who will break through the
ropes if it becomes necessary to "a Y
Corbett, but you a understand dis
tinctly that they will never do it.
for 1 have taken care to prepare for
just such emergency by sending for a
push" Of my owa and you will find
the toughest lot of citizens from New
Orleans and Texas near FitZsimmons'
corner hat eve landed in this State,
and Corbett's gang will have a lovely
time getting into that ring
The APPEAL a assure both the
hackers Of Fitzsimmons and Corbett
hat the people of Nevada have no
preferences in this contest. they want
to see the best man win and they
want to see a fight on the level. The
United States has been in a turmoil
for some time CT the question of
who is the champ pugilist of the
country, and just ~ has been about
to be decided seve & mes, the police
have stepped it al = -r)pped the pro.
ceedings. Nevada las given legal
protection to the dispute and Carson
provided the battle ground. Any at
tempt by either party to bring hired
fighters to the ringside to bulldoze
anybody at any stage Of the game,
will be met by prompt action on the
part of the authorities of the State,
and if necessary a sagebrush audi
ence will back up the State author
tiles in a way that will be a lesson in
future to all who attempt such sort OF
work.
The State has a reputation for fair
play and it will be preserved at no
matter what cost. There is room at
the race track for a good sized, open
air hospital for outside toughs who
come to the ringside to make trouble.

Provides Punishmentfor
infringement.
Bill to Amend the Military Code
Bittefly Attacked In
the Senate.

ST. PAUL, March 25.-The house put
In busy day yesterday, disposing Of q
large number Of bills. Probably the
most important feature of the days
proceedings was the consideration
given to the bill sent in as a substitute
for the Mcdonald bill III. F. 81, to pro.
vide recodifcation of the law govern
ing banks of discount and deposit. The
various transactions in which q bank
or its officers may participate are dis
tinctly prescribed and limited by the
measure, and failure to comply is de-
fined and penalties therefor fixed with
no indirection.
The substitute measure is much more
brief then the original bill and MAKES
but few alterations in it. These few
changes and one or two additional
amendments occupied considerable
time during the afternoon, and were
discussed at length for the benefit OF
the house, which finally, under a sus-
pension of the rules, gave the bill it's
second and third reading and placed it
ON it's final passage by vote OF 81 to ..
Failed TO Resurrect 1t.

slider the vote by which H. F. 359 was

house, the county option bill must
muster more friends. The temperance
committee reported it unfavorably, but
the house reversed that verdict and
placed it on general orders by vote of

clean victory, at least half dozen
members among those who voted for
the bill expect to be on the other side
of tho fence when it is reached on the
calendar. Some of them said so on the
floor in explaining their votes. There
were 20 absentees. Giving the option
