To the Foreman and Members of the Grand Jury
Of Lyon County. Nevada
GENTLEMEN:-We, your Committee appointed
at the last meeting of the Grand Jury to exam
Inc and report upon the condition of the books
and accounts of the several County officials,
and from time to time examine the bonds of
the several county officers beg leave to submit
the following:
Owing to the limited time which was allotted
us to examine the accounts and. moreover on
account of the date of the year being such that
taxes have not been paid in full. and the AS
sessment Roll not being in a condition to fig
ure on, we were unable to arrive at any exact
amounts representing the funds of the county
al this date
Upon examination of all accounts in the
Sheriff and Assessors office, and the checking
of the stubs of the receipt books for licenses,
poll taxes, personal property and mining taxes
and fees, we found the same to correspond In
every instance with the sums turned into the
treasury.
In the Office of the County Auditor and Re
corder we found all the accounts correct and
the balances to agree with those of the County
Treasurer.
Upon tracing all the sources of revenue to
the Treaserer's Office we found them properly
presented in the cash book, journal and ledger
and the books all kept in neat and business
like manner. The Clerks fee book was exam
ined and the amounts found to correspond
with the returns made by that officer.
We examined the bonds of the several dif
ferent county officers and came to the concu'
sion that said bonds were good and sufficient
and as reliable, as can be procured in the
county. 80

very center of aristocratic life Of New
York. In each case the passion is without
diShOnOr or unworthy results, and II is In
the arc of both authors in dissecting and
tracing this uncomfortable and yet wholly
controlled love that the charm of the story
is said to be found
The extraordinary feature of these crit-
cismS is the leniency and enthusiasm with
which even religious newspaper and all
the other critics discuss the story of a Las-
sion which ought not to exist and which
results in no evil consequences. 1t is extra
ordinary in view of the fact that thirteen
years ago another novel, treating OF the
same theme, written in a brilliant and at
tractive style, containing an admirable plot
and some vivid character drawing, was pub
liShed, only to be numerically cOndemned
by some of the very critics who are praising
the work of Mrs. Trask and Mr.. Allen.
That earlier story was condemned as I'M
moral; one of the most conspicuous OF Bos-
ton critics devoted a two-column review to
it, claiming that it was story which should
not have been written and which ought not
to be read. The New York Tribune spoke OF
the book as OdiouS, because its theme was
the passion of married woman for an UNI
married man, and it's return without dis.
honor to either of them.
That book is now out of print; the plates
have been destroyed. 1t was published by
toul," and was written by Henry l.. Nelson,
now the editor of Harper'S Weekly. No
critic found fault with its form, its artistic
workmanship, but only with the theme. The
question which arises is whether a theme
which was regarded as immoral and odiouS
fifteen years ago can properly be regarded
as worthy of serious and tender considera-
ton to-day Have we advanced so that We
are able to look with broader tolerance
upon literary conceptions, or have we retro
graded so that the high moral standards OF
1884 are no longer accepted as ideal or OF
consequence to the generation of 1897?

funds were scarce at that time. The OBJ
lection at once met him.
There is no money TO pay them with"
In the mint are 5000 silver dollars not
yet issued" he replied. why not send
those?
Accordingly the silver dollars were
shipped to gladden. the hearts Of the ma
rines. 1t happened that about that time
tribesmen from the interior had come for
aging to the coasts, where they fell in with
our marines These tribesmen II is said
took a violent fancy to the silver dollars.
No other money would they have, but for
these coins they would barter their most
precious possessions. The result was that
the marines sailed away possessed of much
treasure of the Orient while the natives,
wearing clanking chains of 1904 dollars,
danced joyously upon the sands. All these
coins their new possessorS punched to string
as necklaces or Wristbands and took them
back with them into the interior, where
they were lost, buried With their owners or
scattered. This is the theory to which most
of the collectors adhere, and it is hypothet-
ically substantiated by reports that several
years ago two old American dollars with
holes punched where the date had been
turned up in an Algerian village.
Another theory is more romantic. In ll95
there was trouble between .Algiers and this
country, terminating in an agreement on
the part of the United States to pay $500 600
for the freedom of our captured and en-
our ships thereafter. Not until 1904, when
the war with Tripoli was in progress, was
the $4,000, including the entire coinage OF
1904, sent. The frigate Philadelphia, having
the money on board, ran aground and was
captured by the TripolitaDs. The frigate
was subsequently boarded and burned by
the Americans. but the money was gone.
Neither of these theories accounts for a
peculiar feature of the coinage of that time.
Several silver dollars have been discovered
which plainly show 1905 stamped over 1904
In 1906 no silver dollars were issued from
the mintS, nevertheless 321 now known
to be in collections. How they got out OF
the mint where they had been struck off is
not known.

In that room tables are placed, one

placed for each respectively. There they re-
main until Christmas eve, and after the
church services which we all attend on that

the rest of the family, but all are pledged
before retiring not to investigate into any

time been distributed among the various

The pledge has always been religiously OBJ
served, and serves as a good lesson in self
control, too. But next morning all is up

are generally bounced upon.

EDUCATE THE EAST.
Money Lenders Should BE Acquainted
with Conditions in the West.

chicago BONDS ana mortgages.
With the return of normal conditions and
confidence the Eastern press appears to take
special delight in parading before the eyes
of it's readers the recollectionS OF the boom
days in Kansas with its attendant reckless
methods which have swamped millions OF
Eastern money. The New York sun cor
respondent writing from Mcpherson, Kan,
has figured out that $6O,O wv was lnveste9
in Kansas mortgage loans by New England
people in 1886 and 1887, besides $S,OOOVOO con-
tributed by New York and Brooklyn. AT
that time any attractively worded adVer-
tisement of a Western loan agent caught
the Eastern dollars, and the religious papers
particularly teemed with these never-fail-
ing bats, until the State of Kansas was
surfeited with Eastern money which was
literally forced upon the Western farmer,
whether he would borrow or not. Five
sixths of this money was sunk at the rate
of $40 an acre on land that has not been
worth 81 per acre for ten years.
There is not city nor hamlet through
out the New England States where this wild
neriod of speculation has failed to leave it's
Sting, and for many years Western farm
loans (no matter where located) were
tabooed and Stunned like pest
With the recent revival OF business ana its
attendant demand for reliable securities,
many Eastern investors seem to at least
show a disposition to look into the real
cause of their former losses and to realize
that Western farm loans are not as pad
as they have been painted. Only a change
in methods is necessary to transform them
into the very choicest and safest invest
ments, even in the State of Kansas; Form
err conditions will never again prevail. There
is no likelihood of another boom period dur
ing the present generation nor are there
any new worlds to conquer. values are fixed
and the settler who has weathered the
financial storm of recent years is a person
worthy of confidence He cannot be induced
to borrow for anything except the refund
ing of a previous loan at a lower rate of
interest or as part purchase money for new
holdings.
The Eastern lender and Western borrower
are drawing closer together and one is apt
to know the other The campaign of edu-
cation is on. 1t becomes the duty of every
Western loan company or loan agent to ac-
quaint the Eastern lender more fully re-
garding the present status of the West and
il possible induce him to take a trip west
to Investigate fully and thoroughly the ex-
cellent chances now prevailing for the en-
ployment of idle funds in the safe mort
cages of the West. Give the East the full
est opportunity to examine the Western
mortgages of to-day and the savings banks
of the East will soon find their deposits
dwindle to be replaced by prime Western
mortgages, which will stand the test of
time and panics.

DON'T NEGLECT
A COMMON CASE OF PILES.


When people generally understand that
all such fatal diseases as fistula, ulcer OF
the rectum, fissure, etc, almost invariably
begin in a simple case of Piles. they will
learn the wisdom of taking prompt treat
ment for the first appearance of troubles
in this quarter. The Pyramid Pile Cure will
certainly cure every form of piles. itching,
bleeding, protruding or blind piles, and hun
dreds of lives have been saved by using this
cheap but effective remedy right at the
start, because at such a time single pack
age will effect a cure, while in the old
chronic, deep-seated cases, several pack
ages are sometimes necessary before a last
ing cure is effected.
Physicians are using the Pyramid Pile
Cure in preference to surgical operations
and with uniform success. For sale by
