particulars of the lynching OF Adam
.Ober in Genoa, Douglas county,
Tuesday morning. From what we
CLEAN from the different accounts we
have no hesitation. in saying that the
conduct Of this cowardly mob toward
this defenseless man is burning dis
grace to the State Of Nevada and
shame upon the boasted civilization
OF the 18th century.
The men composing this brutal
mob stripped the prisoner naked in
his cell, and dragged him over the
frozen ground, kicked and beat him
and acted more like savage Indians
than civilized white men. His piteous
cries for mercy were answered by the
gag and more brutal treatment. One
account says that Uber's eyes were
punched out. Arriving at the scene
OF execution this cowarGly mob gave
their victim brief respite in which
to say his prayers, then tied his
hands behind him, put the rope
around his neck, pulled him up and
lett him dangling from a limb of
tree. Not satisfied with this they cir
cled around the swinging body and
riddleu it with bullets. Both kid
neys were pierced as we're both
breasts, and the left arm and shout
der were broken. 1t is said that one
of the mob fred no less than seven
bullets from Winchester rifle into
the suspended body. After they had
riddled the body with bullets they
left it banging naked save for the
gag.
The coroner took charge of the
body at 8 o'clock and a jury was at
once impaneDed. Many witnesses
were examined, but none were able
to disclose the identity of the guilty
parties, and the verdict was death
from the hands of unknown parties"
,Uber had a relative in Pittsburg,
Henry Robson, who is millionaire.
He had engaged ALT Chartz to defend
UDer and it is rumored in Carson
that be will now spend plenty of
money to punish the men who lynch
ed Uber.
Governor Sadler has expressed his
Willingness to aid the authorities of
Douglas county in bringing the gull
ty parties to justice. The Carson
News THINKS that when the Governor
learns the full details Of the crime
ne will probably offer reward on the
part OF the Stete independent of
what the county may do.
The lynching Of Uber seems to be
wholly without any justification
whatever. True he had committed a
cruel murder, but he had been ar
rested and held to answer for his
crime and was in fair way to have
justice speedily melted out to him 1.
He would in all probability have
paid the penalty for his crime on the
gallows and the law would have been
indicated.
Douglas county owes it to herself
and the State that every effort be
made by her authorities to arrest and
swiftly punish the men engaged in
this brutal lynching. They should
receive no more mercy at the hands
OF the law than they showed their de-
fenseIess victim on that cold Decem-
Der morning.

City Council.

City council held a meeting last eve
ming to consider matters in connection
with the new electric light plant. A
new ordinance modifying the original on
this matter was given its first reading.
1t provides that in private
residences shall pay for material and
cost OF labor wiring dwellings 1T cost as
b retofore, but shall be given credit for
the amount as an advance payment on
lighting. This is to ~equalize the burden
between such paying fiat
rates where they use many of the lights
for a short time only each evening and
the users of commercial lights who use
all the burners the full time. Either
can now put in meters and economic as
much as they please. Many hesitated
to put in private lighting on the old
terms, but are now disposed to do it on
the new.
The council also did better by the east
side than al at first planned. 1t will put
IN street lights on Washington avenue
from Madison to Lake streets, thus light
ing up the vicinity of the east side
bridges. Also continue the lights south
on same emu from Main street across
railroad tracks and thence west on the
elevator street.
A bill Of $4,000 to the construction
company and other bills of incidental
city expense we're ordered paid. Council
adjourned until tomorrow evening to
take up the appointment of electric light
superintendent.

and players who represent the best in
their art, and who are demonstrating
to us that the simple truth, artistically
presented. finds an eager response in
the hearts Of all classes Of men. With
out trying to name all. only the few
that now occur TO me as having come
within my own experience, l mention
such players as Sol Smith Russell, our
neighbor, who invariably gives to
those who listen elevation in tone and
imagina ton.
Some of us remember Rosina Vokes,
who, in melodrama and farce, strug-
gled to elevate while she amused. And
Mr.. Willard, who has come to US with
his tragedies and his beautiful melo-
drama, 1.-THE Professors Love Story"
and lastly, Mr.. Herne, who is to be
with US tomorrow night in his beauti-
full play, "Shore Acres" drama repre-
senting simple New England life, into
which is wrought a genuine realism;
that is, a realism which manifests the
ideal. This actor and this play are a
demonstration that an appeal to the
best in the human heart will find a re-
spouse in all classes.
In conclusion do we not see the pow
er Of the drama as an instrument for
social elevation? l wonder how many
of us appreciate how far away from
anything that is beautiful and enticing
more than majority OF the people OF
our greatest cities are. No pictures on
the walls of the poorly furnished
room; no touch of art anywhere about.
What wonder that the men go for
cheer to the bar room? What wonder
that husband, wife and the child in
his teens find the way to the cheap and
vulgar theaters which are becoming
SO numerous in our cities? Is 1t not
possible for US to see what could be
done to elevate these people and slim
ulate them to better things if there
We're given to them representations of
life upon the stage which should be
aimed to ennoble and not to degrade,
in which the appeal should be not to
the passions, but to the aspirations? In
London already this work has begun.
I do not know of any like attempt in
America. Would it not be we'll for our
influential church people, instead OF
looking upon the drama, either with a
total condemnation, or with bare
liberation, to give legitimate drama
positive countenance, and to assist by
means and endeavOr in Representing to
the masses, through the combination
of all the arts in action, higher ideals
of life? I understand there is in this
city a theater which has hitherto been
used for a purpose different from this
In time there can be no doubt that that
building will be used again for the
same purpose. 1 ask the question
and altruistic motive could do better
instrument for higher use?
