A WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

The sun came slowly climbing up the
Humboldt range of hills that formed the
eastern boundary of the Big Meadows
valley. The sky had heralded pleas
ant morning, but the partially clouded
face that pushed up over the hills gave
the contradiction to its joyful procama-
tion. Long streaks of sunlight shot be-
tween the hill tops and finally the black
curtain OF night gradually yielded to the
half visible face that was struggling for
supremacy, struggling even against It's
own will.
The features OF the valley over which
this conqueror gazed were more repel-
liant than attractive. Dry rolling hills
covered with rabbit and sagebrush
alkah plains whose particles glittered
| like diamond dust, as the long finger
like CLEANS OF sunlight crept over them
| lingering here and there on the hideous
graveyards of emigrants (victims of the
red man in early days) whose occupants
had never known burial, but whose
bones, after the ravages OF the coyote.
had been abandoned to the bleaching
| elements OF the plains. Here the sun
| light hurried on as If endeavoring to es-
crpe so much horror by climbing the
rough barriers of Trinity range on the
opposite side. 1t glanced back once over
the valley as if with a fairy wand be-
slowing blessing upon the earth like
the smiles OF its Creator, and with that
smile Transforming a portion of the
wilderness into one Of the most produce
tive garden spots of the Sagebrush state.
Herein the beautiful portion Of the
valley centered by the village OF Love-
lock, possessing every natural ati-
vantage, where all its wonderful possi-
bilities were only awaiting the proper
developments to turn them to account
lived the Hon. Peter Anker, one OF the
stalwart SOUS OF Denmark.
| The aspect of the country did not in
the least discourage him. He knew
Witt land, with .oil, water and sun
tsnine,could do. He had perfect conf
dencein his ability. His life has shown
him what honest work could accom- plish.
The excellent agricultural advantages OF
the'country became more and more APP
parent to him the longer he studied
hem,, and imbued with spirit OF am
nition he bought few hundred acres
n land and set to work building "A home.
He knew also that we have scriptu-
raj authority that it is not good Tor man
to be alone. There were many Lovelock
bellies, whose fascinating wiles came
nearly disturbing his well balanced mind,
and who claim even now that They
could have had him if they had wanted
him." But much to their chagrin he
became enamored with Miss Julia Faas
of Missouri, the accomplished sister of
Mrs. Henry Thies. and ere long he was
Whispering into her not unwilling ear the

GERLACH GAN Do 1T.
Need Not Appoint Another Superin-
tendent of Buildings.

Mayor Doran has been informed that
the suggestion Of the school board to
nave George Gerlach, supervisor of
pulIUngs and repairs, appointed as
superintendent of the new school build
1ngs would be all right so far as the
law is concerned. The president Of the
scnool board recommended that Mr.
Gerlach be selected for the position, for
the reason that it would save the pay
ment of nearly $1,000, which would
have to be paid some one else. On re-
celpt or the communication from the
BOARD, Mayor DOran Immediately asked
the corporation attorney, if under the
law, Mr. Gerlach could be legally ap-
pointed to the place.
The letter of Corporation Attorney
Markham sent to the mayor, yesterday
afternoon states that under the law
the request Of the school board Is all
right. The opinion of Citv Attorney
Markham is as follows:
Dear Sir: Replying to your communica-
ton of the 18th inst, transmitting letter to
you from the president Of the board of school
inspectors, calling attention to a resolution
passed by the board, recommending that you
appoint the supervisor of buildings of the
board as inspector Of such new school build
lngs as may be constructed during the cur
rent year and the opinion of this depart
ment is asked as to whether 1t is legal or
proper for you to make such appointment.
II is my opinion tnat the supervisor OF
buildings and REPAIRS" referred to in the
communication of the president of the board
OF school inspectors, is merely an employee of
that board, appointed under a resolution or
bylaw heretofore adopted, and has, under
the direction of the board the general charge
and supervision of all repairs on the various
school buildings. He is not in any sense an
officer of the city but is merely an employe
Of the board of school inspectors. l know of
no provision of law or reason why, if he is
properly qualified, the additional duties of the
building inspector, provided for by the pro
vision of the charter above mentioned, may
not in your discretion, be imposed upon him.
He is not, in my opinion by any provision of
the charter, disqualified for such appoint
ment.

BUYING UP SUGAR.
Millions of Dollars Expended by
Boston Importers.

DOSAOh importers.
BOSTON, Mass. March 16-The
wholesale sugar market in this CITY
mas entered upon an interesting phase
In anticipation of the new tariff bill
which is expected to go into effect on
May l, imposing duty of one cent and
upwards per pound on all sugars i'm
ported into the United States. the SUI
gar importers are actively engaged in
buying up all available sugar, both In
markets of Germany and Cuba. for
prompt shipment to this country, in an
e11ort to get the commodity into the
market without paying to the govern
ment the new tax.
The comparatively small sugar out
put OF Cuba, owing to the unsettled
condition of the island, and the In
ability of the planters to grind. has
made 1t necessary to depend largely on
Java and Germany for the products.
and large percentage of the article
imported here during the past year has
come from these two countries
There is now stored in Hamburg for
Shipment to this city alone more than
$4,000 tons of raw sugar, and steamers
are being sent for as rapidly as thew
can be chartered and loaded -Four
large steamers are now due here from
Hamburg and six large vessels from
West Indian ports. The vaIua ton or
the sugar on the way and booked for
shipment to Boston alone, will reach in
to the millions, and the money saved on
duty, provided the sugar reaches here
before the new tariff goes into effect
will be enormous

All of these companies should have
made a statement to the state insur-
ance commissioner before March 1.
Failing to do SO they are barred from
doing business in the state henceforth.
The fact that they failed to make the
statement however, only means that
they have decided not to try to do busl-
ness in Minnesota this year, and not
that they are unable to meet the re-
quirements.

PUT UP A FIGHT.
James Taylor Landed After Strong
Iy Resisting Arrest.

1y Resisting Arrest.
James Taylor, a man with a bad
police record, resisted arrest at the
hands of Officers Miller and Ahern,
shortly before o'clock last evening,
and gave the policemen a hard fight
before he and Charles Egan, a COM
panion, could be landed at the patrol
box. AS the wagon was leaving the
box Taylor struck a vicious blow at
Officer Ahern's face which glanced and
only slightly cut his cheek. At the
central station Taylor was violent and
abusive. The charges against him are
drunkenness, disorderly conduct and
resisting an officer. Egan is accused
of disorderly conduct.
The trouble leading to the arrest
took place in Tankenoffs saloon at
Eighth and robert streets, where TaY-
lOr had been elected for striking George
Hart. He insisted on going back into
the place, and when the officers placed
him under arrest refused to go with
them at once beginning vicious fight,
in which Egan took a small part,
which continued to Seventh and Jack
son streets. A large crowd followed
the officers and their prisoners, greatly
Interfering with the handling of the
men. Several times Officer Ahern and
Taylor were rolling about in the mud
and water, but or each occasion the
officer proved the better man by pre-
venting the prisoners escape AT the box
Sergeant Mccarthy came to the aid of
Officers Miller and Ahern, and assisted
in holding the men until the arrival
of the wagon.
