Crime in our rural towns is so rare
that when it does occur the city
press make the most of it. If one
were to judge from the dailies' com
ment on the occasional murder trial
in rural counties, the concentrated
essence of crime is to be found on
the plains and in the valleys, while
the city population is pure as the
driven snow But the drinking
hole and cumming place " that Is
allowed in so many villages is Ger
tainly as capable in breeding crimi-
nails as similar dens in cities. A
few idle men, naturally shiftless,
prone to drink, oongregating where
liquor and nasty talk are the only
means of occupying their time, soon
form a hOtbed of iniquity that easily
contaminates. Unless such places
are cleaned out, the moral character
of the community suffers, youth of
both sexes are injured by the exam
pie, if not ruined, and murder of
nameless crimes against "the human
form divine" are apt to be harvest.
In the city, this sort of thing is
spread among so many people from
so many saloons and houses Of in
fanny that the resulting crime does
not shock the public mind so much
as the rarer events of this class
among our rural people. A moral
awakening is needed that will purge
both city and country of these dens
of iniquity. But above all, our chill
dren must be brought up to do right
and to shun evil, however glittering
and enticing the dress IN which
temptation masquerades, A right
eous character is the protection Of
individual or community .-Ameri-

Above all, it is now well known that

plorations show that its vast wealth

and almost every other variety OF useful
mineral. Capital is now seeking Ne
vada. Mr.. Delmar has developed in
southern Nevada a very rich gold min
ing district, probably the richest in the
United States. In northern nevada,
near the Idaho line, an extensive belt OF
placer mines is being developed and in
the development OF the placer mines
vein mines OF gold and silver have been
found in great abundance. Old mines
are being reopened, and the attention OF
the whole mining fraternity OF the
United States is again directed TO the
great state OF Nevada. Nevada, al
though she has been fearfully abused
and sorely afflicted, has weatl,ertd the
storm. Her people, although not rich
have maintained their independence,

that state than in almost any other in
the union. Nevadans are proud OF their
