A DEAD CAT
Inventive Spirit Of a Son Used by Him
to Annoy His Parents

to Annoy His Parents
Joe w. Fawkes, jr., of Burbank tried to-
scare his old father and mother some time
ago with fake dynamite bombs made out of
a disused coal oil can and paper wadding.
He had lots of fun at the expense of his
parents. but after he and his wife had
been arrested and put to large amount of
trouble the merriment they had derived
with their Guy Fawkes' plot was easily
balanced. Still the desire to annoy his pro-
genitors was not exhausted and the next
attack was on their sense of smell.
Joe w. Fawkes, ST., reported to County
Health Officer L. T. Holland a couple of
days ago that there was an odor emanating
from the shed which his dutiful son has
erected so near the window of his parents
kitchen that they have to fry their eggs
by candle light. which made him believe
that there was combination Of dead Chi
namen and limburger cheese concealed
there, and he implored the officials to abate
the nuisance.
DR.. Holland went out yesterday to inves-
tigate. He found Joe W. Fawkes. jr.'s
shed tightly locked. but not so tight hut

Fawkes, sr.'s kitchen window big. bloat-

been deader than bucket of mackerels for
several days. Another snifter Of this de-
parted feline chased the doctor out and he
lost no time in speeding back to the city TO
consult with Assistant District Attorney
Williams about this new kind of an out
rage. 1t is probable that Joe w. Fawkes.
jr., will be called up on to explain the pres
ence Of the dead cat in his locked shed in
close proximity to his mas kitchen window
to justice of the peace.

ton that hostilities between this country
and Spain, which imperiled round-the-
Horn shipping from New York, had
caused the inception Of the line, came
from what should be a well-informed
source, and has some reason back of it. II
is not a difficult thing to start a steamship
line, for it can be discontinued If it does not
pay, at little loss to the owners.

TIE QUESTION OF TAXATlON

The APPEAL doubtless holds thai
10 man not a property holder is fit t.
represent the people Of Nevada in the
State Legislature, OF in other words
that no poor~man has any business ii
the Assembly. We don't think that
the majority of citizens coincide with
the APPEAL in this view any more
than we believe that a majority OF the
voters of this State want Stewart III
the United States Senate.-Euter-
prise.
The APPEAL holds nothing OF the
sort but when it sees men get into the
newspapers with cards charging
Stewart with being unfit to represent
the State andtbeing a nonresident it
naturally occur to the APPEAL to III
vestigate the claims Of these people
and see in what way they have con
tributed to the sunp,rt Ct the State
development.
When we find peop'e running for the
Legislature on an anti Stewart who
have just been in the State Just barely
long enough to gain a residence and
who do not pay any taxes personal,
realty or poll, the natural conclusion
is that they have not yet sufficiently
demonstrated their fitness as citizens
to qualify themselves for the position
of lawmakers.
a mans financial standing should
not bar him for a seat in the Legisla-
ture, nor ever has It barred him, but
we do not believe that the Enterprise
will deny that property owners and
taxpayers as a rule had rather see
property owners taXpaye rs, and State
developers frame the laws which will
govern the disposition of property
and the adjustment Of taxes in the
State. On the other hand man who

make its laws.

cursed with too many Legislature:

sacks and light out for Californi;
never again to be seen within the Dor
ders of Nevada.

CHICAGO MARKETS.
Produce.


Chicago. July 16.-Increasing receipts of
the new crop and excellent weather for
harvesting and threshing. together with
disappointing cables, started wheat quiet.
The decline was checked by the strength
in corn during the first Is minutes. Every
time the wheat market attempted to start
downward on Its own account something
would happen in corn to make it forget
tunes of its now lively neighbor. Septem-
Der wheat had worked down to &c about
30 minutes before the close. but just then
corn made its most telling advance and
wheat responded by lzc recovery. The de-
mand for car lots of cash wheat was slow
and prices were shaded.
Chicago received 70 carloads, of which
u were new. To-day's clearances of wheat
and four from Atlantic ports were equal
to 400, 600 bushels. July left off 12c higher
and September &4hc lower.
The bull sentiment in corn was stimu-
lated by the continued dry weather. Prices
started rather easier than at the close
yesterday. There were plenty of buyers,
however, and the demand was satisfac-
tory and prices began to advance. Sep
TENDER gained IadMc on the day.
Oats followed corn but did not display
nearly as much strength as It's leader
There was good buying early, but the
price reacted on realizing, closing b@hC
lower.
Higher prices for hogs at the yards and
a fair cash demand over night started
provisions strong. Realizing caused a Loss
of the early gain. Pork closed 2iod5c low
er and ribs 2kc lower. Lard closed 2laC
higher.
