of Westtield, Mass. Only the immediate

The bride was very prettly dressed in
white silk and carried a bouquet of brides
roses Fred and Nellie Fem, young
cousins of the bride, stood up with them
during the service Miss Lila Richardson
presided at the piano. The number of
handsome presents received amply testi-

after which the bride and groom took their
departure on the south bound train amid
the usual shower of rice, etc, etc. That
the new life before the young couple may be

The v%irtuous Carsonites are up in arms
against what is known as ''cheek' dan
cling, OF which the News has this to say j:
This dance or rather hoodlumism, con-
sists OF touching cheeks while dancing
the waltz, or, for that matter, any other
round dance. 1t originated on the back
streets and its disciples in some way have
found their way into respectable ball
rooms in Carson and elsewhere. In Il
general way there is no objection to
young people advertising their d~epravity
in public, but, on the other hand, there
are II number of people who find such
IN exhibition simply disgusting.-Car-

AGAINST THE LAW.

While in town a few days ago District
Attorney julien discovered that n Or
two saloons are operating "nickel ma
Chimes" perc, ntage game, or gambling
device which must be operated under q
license. Mr.. Julien requests us to call
the attention OF those who are using
those machines to Sec. 1857 OF the Cen
eral Statues, which reads as follows :
Each and every person who shall *S*
cause to be opened, or who shall con-
duct, either as owner or employee, whith-
eI for him or not, n y n any banking or
percentage game played with cards,
dice, or any other device, whittier the
same are played for money, checks,
credit, or any other valuable thing or
representative OF value, shall be guilty
of a disdemeanor, and on conviction
thereof shall he punished by q fire Il
not less than one thousand nor more
than three thousand dollars, or by i'm
prisonment in the county Jail not less
than three months o more than
one year, or by both such fine and i'm
prisonment." Ii it can be established
that the slot machine returns to the
owner or operator thereof, a percentage
of the money played into it, then it
would seem to clearly come within the
provisions of the Statute above quoted,
and that ''any person who shall deal,
play or carry on the same is liable to be
indicted by the Grand Jury and punisl :
ed as the law direct.

TRIBUTE TO THE PRESS.

Champ Clarke made a great speech in
Congress when the Loud postal bill was
defeated.
The bill was an attempt to cripple the
country press by increased rates of pos
tage.
Speaking of the country editor among
other things he said:
He is the pack horse OF ever commu-
nifty, the promoter OF every laudable
enterprise, the worst underpaid laborer
in the vineyard. Counting his space as
his capital, he gives more to charity,
his means considered, than any other
member of society. He is a power in
politics, a pillow of the church, a leader
in the crusade for better morals. He Is
pre-eminently the friend of humanity.
Line upon line, paragraph upon para
graph, day by day, he is embalming in
cold type the facts from which Herodo-
tus, Tacitus, the Sismondi, or the Ma
caulay OF the future will write the his.

Of cattle i'll this State among the heavi-
est taxpayers in the State, and one
whose beef cattle stand in the front
rank, says: You cannot quote me too
strongly in opposition to the PROPOSE
ton OF the Secretary OF Agriculture to
place us in the infected district. | have
not the language to express my feelings
in regard to the matter and the extent
to which | regard the mere proposition
as an injustice to us. Nevada cattle and
Nevada beef have now and are fast ac-
quiring everywhere q most envlable
reputation for health, primeness and
excellence. 1t has taken our care and
attention and money tor many years to
place our cattle where they now stand
in the markets OF the world and to
do this thing would undo our
work of years. We have worked sue
cessfully to attain a high standard for
our cattle as beef and | see no reason
why we should lose it through no fault
OF our own. To place us under the ban
would be to place US in the sole, selfish
power of the California market makers
and let them become dictators to us. 1t
is too much to ask OF US if they are
actuated by honest motives, it is too I'M
Just to us in view of our labor and ex-
penditures IN the past, it is altogether
wrong and we should all enter our pro-
tests against it to our Senators and Con-
gresham. The argument that it will
benefit hay growers is false, it would be
one of the worst evils that could befall
them in the long iun and they would
o see the pit into which they would
fall. The fair name we have won
through the years for Nevada cattle and
other Nevada products we cannot afford
to lose and we do not propose to lose it.

and so should be every Nevada cattle
man.
X. FL. Cowles was about to step on the
train bound for Reno when the reporter
asked him for his sentiments in regard
to the quarantine matter. Mr.. Cowles
said he was very bitterly opposed to
placing Nevada in the quarantine dis
trict and spelling the market for Nevada
cattle. He hoped every cattleman in the
Stale would fight the proposition.
Hon. VIC. Grimes and Hon. Lem Allen
were called up through the telephone
and asked how the Churchill people felt
about the matter. They were not a bit
backward about expressing their senti-
ments in strong terms of opposition to
placing any such stigma on Nevada cat
tie and it was a job put up by the Calf
ornians to get Nevada into old clutches
once more, and even if such were not
the case bringing Nevada into the quar-
antine district would work perpetual
trouble. They do not want diseased Cal
ifornia cattle to come here and the cattle
are diseased in California because the
government inspectors have been there
and have so reported. They wind up by
saying that no sensible Nevada, cattle
man or rancher, but had his mind made
up against any move to include Nevada
in the quarantine district,
