The Living and the Dead.

The body of a dead man was found at
Piute a week ago Sunday evening and
the coroner went from Austin the fol-
lowing Wednesday to Battle Mountain
to hold the inquest, a delay for which
the DISPATCH ,r.licized the officer, hav-
ing the right to opine that he could have
done better in the interest of Justice, de-
cency and humanity. The Reveille
thinks We were not only unkind and
juggled the facts, but that our remarks
were tinged with malice and slande i,
that the coroner acted as promptly as
conditions permitted: There is no
night operator in the telegraph office in
Austin, and that the telegram Informs g
the coroner of the death was not received
until 8 O'Clock Monday morning and it
was at least 8 80 before the message was
delivered. The train for Battle Noun
tain departed at :15, which was 45 min
utes before the message was received,
which accounts for the officer o being
in Battle Mountain Monday. He could
not have arrived in Battle Mountain
sooner than he did. unless he had char
tered a special t%rain."
The DEsrATcHwill not knowinglywrong
any man or any officer, and so far as that
coroner is concerned, weare not acquain-
ted with him personally or otherwise
and could have no malice against him
and no desire TO Islander him. Inas-
much as an explanation has been made
as to the cause of the delay, and the ex-
PLANTATION was certainly in order, tie
object OF the criticism has beel accom- :
plished. The newspaper has a very
wide province and is not con In ell t,
happenings within its own town or
county. Conditions or circumstances
causing neglect OF and disrespect to the
dead are not sanctioned by the living
and a remedy should he found. The
living will soon be dead.

Board of Arbitration.

The Elmore Bulletin, Idaho, says:
The State Board OF Arbitration is now a

ployer Of labor, one member OF some
labor organization and a third man

the governor In event of failure to agree.
The term o. membership will be six
years, excepting that two of those first
appointed shall serve two and Jour years
respectively. The board is to employ q
clerk who shall be paid 81 a day Tor time
actually employed.

be paid 90 cents for each attendance and
% cents for each hour'oi attendance in
excess of two hours, and . cents mileage
each way. Members OF the board will

A Sunday Trip.

j. f. Crosby, Il. l.. Fuller, II. II. For
in the clovis through whirh the sun
shone Sunday morning, and drove to
tne Pyramid Lake reservation.
The S, hools and dorinitories were Wis
tied aud everything found to be in first
class shape. The employees were o
teous in showing the visitors everything
very favorable impressions.
The church in charge of Miss Taylor,
Episcopal missionary, is a c~ommodions
building, Yet its seating capacity is taxed
AZ the services held. The lace work
d one by the squaws under Miss Taylor's
teaching is remarkable and q surprise to
at the State fair and gives employment
to IL number OF Indian womsn who are
not able to do other work.
1t is a time-honored custom at the
reservation to name the young Piutes
after prominent citizens, and Jones,
Fair, Sharon, Gibson, Hank Monk and
other lights in Nevada history have
namesakes there. The officials have in
mind a young papoose who will one OF
these days grace the name of Forney, and
this will make Sundays trip memorable.
The visitors were very Hospitality
entertained at the coy home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Jones.
The ride home could not have been
more pleasant had it been taken from
Alaska to Siberia, and it makes us shiver
to write about it.

Dangers Of The Grin.

The greatest danger from La Grippe is
of its resulting in pneumonia. If rea-
sonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe, we have yet to
learn OF a single case resulting in pneu-
monia, which shows conclusively that
this remedy is a certain preventive OF
that dread disease. 1t will effect a per-
manent cure in less time thar any other
treatment. The 25 and 30 cent sizes for

He replied that he had long ago ceased

The amount paid to the three Com
missioners were for sundry bills con-
tracted for expenses in attending meet
ings. The 800 for Edwards was for his
services as secretary the $43.33 to Rich
ard was paid to him as State Treasurer
for interest on the bonds, the balance
500, 1857 was turned into the State
Treasury. With the handling of this
large amount OF money at their disposal
these three men decided that it a a
useless expense and that the end did not
justify the means and they decided to
close the accounts and let the money re-
vert to the State. The record shows
that they are honest men with an hon
esty far above the average ami with an
insinuation trailing about the press that
they were thieves, they have made no
reply. The Appeal takes pleasure in
d gging up these facts and hopes that
every paper in the State will republish

The weight of cattle can be ascertain
ed by measurement The girth close be-
hind the shoulder and the length from
the fore part OF shoulder blade along
the back to the bone at the tail, which
is a vertical line with the bullock,
should be measured in feet. Multiply
the square of the girth, expressed in
feet, by five times the length and divide
the product by u. The quotient is
nearly the weight of the forequarters in
imperial stones OF II pounds ayordupois.
In very fat cattle the fore quarters will
be about one twentieth more and in
very lean animals about the same pro-
portion less than the weight obtained
by the rule. The lore quarters are little
more than half the weight OF the living
animal the skin weighing about the
eighteenth part and the tallow about
the twelfth part OF the whole.
The rapid increase in the size OF rail-
road cars and locomotives would lead one
to believe that within 20 years we shall
witness cars OF 100 tons capacity and To-
comotives OF 200 tons weight. In 1873
the railroad freight car had a capacity Of
10 tons only, which had been increased
to 40 tons, and the locomotive weighed
45 tons, which has been increased to 100
tons. In the days of lotion cars and As
ton engines the steel track was also light,
as small as 38-pound iron rails being
used. To-day 70-pound steel rails are
common, and on some roads 90-pound
steel rails are used. This tendency to-
ward largeness and mammoth construc-
ton as the ECONOMY of concentration
is going on in every industry. The Great
Eastern was condemned years ago be-
cause it was thought it was too big to
ever be serviceable in competition with
lighter vessels, yet a contract has just
been let for the building OF a vessel for
one OF thepassenger lines which calls for
a boat 7O5 feet long or 25 feet longer than
the Great Eastern.

FEAR A CABINET CRISIS.
Spanish Political and Religious Authori-
ties Disagree.

MADRID, Sept. 20-Fears are ex-
pressed in well informed circles that a
cabinet crisis may result from the con.
tumacy of the bishop of Majorica,
Balearic islands, who, in defiance of the
order of the archbishop, has persisted in
his accommodation of Senor j.
Reverter, the Spanish minister OF
finance, for taking possession Of the
church in his diocese.
The decree of communication was
read with all formality Sunday in all
the churches of the diocese. Several
influential prelates approve the course
of the bishop. Their attitude, which
is absolutely opposed to that of all the
members of the cabinet, who have ap.
pealed to the pope against the decree,
through the papal nuncio, has raised a
complicated issue between the ecclesias-
tical and political authorities.
The cabinet relies upon the dictum of
the nuncio that the bishop has no juris.
diction over the minister, and upon his
further assurance that the pope will un.
doubtedly censure the bishop.
The notorious sympatl,ies Of the
bishop with the Carlist movement also
aggravate the situation,
