LOWER FREIGHT RATES
How They Can Best be Secured

The Reno Gazette republishes the APP
PEAL's article on the need of lower
freight rates for Nevada, II says:
The trouble is, neighnor, to get a man
to take the lead and inaugurate a move
ment of the kind. What is everybOdys
business is nobodys business. and the
majority of men had rather stand on the
street corner and cuSS than to take the
bother to do anything that promises re-
suits. What kind of az idea would it be
to call a general mass meeting, say at
Carson or Reno. and invite the merchants
of the other towns to meet and discuss
the proposition and if it is found prac-
ticable appoint a committee to wait on
the Southern Pacific officials in San
Francisco, and see if something cannot he
done. The Gazette thinks if Carson, Nir-
ginia, Reno and Douglas county would
act together that much might be accom-
pli>hed.
The Gazette makes a good suggestion
and if the press would agitate this matter
the APPEAL believes that the Southern
Pacific would nave a representative at
the meeting and talk the matter over
without compelling the committed to
visit San Francisco and sit around the
corroders of the S. p. Office waiting to
see some one, not Knowing exactly who.
The APPEAL does not think that the ).
P. company have paid the proper atten-
ton to the undevelOped of Ne
vada and the vast capabilities of its soil.
Gives us reasonable freight rates and We
can supply the world with apples and
potatoes of a quality unknown outside of
| Nevada.
At the present time we are supplying
California with hay, and can do it every
time their crop is short. If the road will
give the State reasonable rates on fruit,
vegetables and other produce, new enter
terprises can be started in Nevada that
will augment its population and make a
State of it, 1t will pay the road as Well
as the people to i%naugurate this move
ment. 1t is not necessary to antagOniZe
the Southern Pacific in order to do this,
but to convince it that the development
of Nevada means increased business foI
the road.
IfW. H. Mills will come up here and
spend Il week or so in WaShOe. Ormsby
Lyon and Douglas counties, the APPEAL
will guarantee to haul him all over thu
agricultural portion of these four count
les and show him things i'll the way o
what can be done here that he would no
have believed if he did not get it from
personal observation.

A Rate War.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Tho railroad war bid
fair to reach a climax tomorrow, because
the general passenger agents at their
meeting tomorrow are bound to decide Il
definite program. The action OF the
Canadian Pacific has forced the Ameri-
can tranS-cOntinental roads to take u
course that they had hoped to aNnld.
When the Canadian Pacific cut rates and
offered special inducements to travellers
the American roads tried cOaXing, brib-
ing and threatening, and III fact resortad
to every diplomatic dodge in the hope Of
inducing the Canadian Pacific to MAIN
tain regular rates. When it finally tran
spired that the Canadian Pacific was de
termined to get all the business it could
in its own way and without any regard
TO the wishes of the American roads, the
American roads decided on the meeting
which takes place tomorrow.
At this hour, 4 p. H., it is very gener-
ally understood that if the Chicago 4
Northwestern and Union Pacific rail-
road companies will consent to a reduc-
ton the overland rate from Chicago to
San Francisco will be fixed at $40.
OF course, if the rate is fixed at this low
figure the idea of the three interested
companies, that is to say. the Chicago
Northwestern, Union Pacific and the
Central Pacific, will be to make the cam
paign against the Canadian Pacific short
and sweet. With a $40 rate all the East
ern klOndikers will certainly go by way
of San Francisco.

The Governors Skittish Horse

The Reno Journal has the following:
Dur friend Baron RothchildA who has
been very successful in managing men
and dressing them up in the latest Pari-
sian style, has proved a dead failure in
managing horses. The Baron formerly
resided in Eureka and was a strong ad-
herent of Governor Sadler in the days
when the Eureka Consolidated and Rich
mond Mining Companies controlled the
politics of the State. Recently the Baron
concluded that he would venture into
the country and Introduce the latest
styles among the farmers. He ascertain
ed that his old friend Sadler had a horse
and park cart which would suit him in
his expeditions into the farming com =
munities. He could ride and carry his
samples IN the cart. He met the Cover
nor at Reno and arranged with him for
the use of the horse and cart for the
spring and summer campaign in the
country. Last Monday he went to the
Capital by rail and in the afternoon set
GU with the horse, cart and samples for
Reno. Now he writes the Governor from
Washoe City;
FRIEND SADLER:-I am here with q
broken shoulder, dislocated and the side
dislocated, scratched hands and head
mashed. The horse has begun to kick,

ADVERTISEMENTS.

People shudder at the tales of Monte Carlo suicides, but look on with perfect equaninity while friends and loved ones commit just as certain suicide by neglecting their health Trifling disorders of the di- gestion consistently neglected lead to inn purity of the blood, the tissues of the body are imperfectly nourished, and efnacia-. tion and debility follow. Tn the case ot that dread disease, consumption, imperfect ly nouTished tissue Is built mp in the lungs, forming a suitable soil for the germs ot that deadly disease, One-seventh of all the deaths each year are due to consumption. This fearful death rate could be easily avoided if the proper remedy was re- sorted to.
 A sure preventive and cure of consump- ton is found in Dr. Pierce,s Golden Med- ical Discovery. It cures o6 per cent. of all cases. It corrects all disorders of digestion, invigorates the liver, and makes the blood pure and plentiful. It IS the great blood maker, flesh builder, and nerve invigorator. It gets into the blood and acts directly upon the lungs, building up healthy tissue and driving out all impurities and disease gerrns, ! Thousands have testified to its wonderful merits. Druggists sell it.
 .I feel that must write you telling you of the great benefits derived from the use of your 'Golden Medical Discovery" <" writes Miss Laura Pierse1 of East Bethlehem, Washington Co.,, Pa. Last summer my friends thought was surely going into consumption, and having tried doc tors before with no satisfactory results and hear ing your medicine so highly spoken of, took one bottle. My cough left me altogether with all the distressing symptoms, and in fact the cure seemed almost miraculous to all who saw I cannot say enough in praise of the medi- cine. and have done much to induce others to use it."

v
 SU1SUN, Feb. S.-Frank Belew, who confessed that he poisoned his sister and brother. will make a fight to save himself from the gallows. It was his original intention to plead guilty to murder and save the county the ex- pense and trouble of trying him. His attorneys have since advised him that he has technical defense, and with the assurance of his brother, Arthur Belew. that financial aid will be ex- tended to him he has decided to make a fight in court.
 It Is now very clear that, in addition to fighting on technicalities, the plea will be also made that the prisoner is insane. Several friends of the family visited Belew this afternoon, and on leaving the jail said that they were satisfied that one of his mental cogs has gone wrong, and that he was not of sound mind. One of them went SC far as to predict that Belew would within six weeks be in an insane asy- lum.
 When Belew appeared In court this morning Attorney Lamont appeared for him to ask for a continuance.
 T understand" said Attorney La mont, that Reese Clark has been re- tained to defend the prisoner. He is unable to be present to-day and has not had an opportunity to consult his client. Under these circumstances ask that the preliminary hearing be continued until next Friday"
 District Attorney Devlin opposed any continuance on the ground that the de fendant had been informed of his rights and had been given ample time to consult his attorney.
 Justice Maynard said that he did not see where the prosecution would suffer by a continuance, and accordingly granted the motion. Belew was then ordered back into the custody of he Sheriff.
 Belew would undoubtedly have waived examination and gone to trial had it not been for the stand taken by his brother. Arthur Belew says that he will engage counsel to defend his brother
 Frank must have been insane when he committed the crime said he to- night, and l do not think that he should suffer the extreme penalty of the law. He was undoubtedly insane at the time, and I will do everything a brother can do to save him from the gallows."

District Attorney Devlin says r he has a card up his sleeve in the Belew case. It is the testi-
 mony which will be given by John W. Bird to the effect that Frank Belew often made threats ? that he would kill his relatives Speaking of what he would
 ' swear to, Bird said: T had many talks with Frank BeleW concerning his family affairs. He ? and l have been good friends for ? years. He first began to threaten ' murder shortly after the death of his parents. In many convex
 ' sations he repeatedly told me ' he would get revenge, so I have z chain of dates on which he P made statements to the effect ' that he would destroy the lives
 ' of those whom he killed. I am,
 e therefore, fully satisfied that Belew contemplated and planned
 ' this murder almost as soon as ' he discovered that those whom ' he killed had the best of his fathers will"
 ' This evidence will be import ' ant as confirming the ex parte

E. B. WHALEY IN DENVER.
Denver Woman Succeeds in Giving
Him the Worst of It.

Denver Times: e. B. Whaley, an
eastern book agent received an unpleas-
ant surprise in Justice Hunts court. It
prevented him from wreaking his ven
geance upon a defenseless woman. Wha-
ley, who lives in Topeka, Kan, has Off
ces at 2120 Champa street, and for a
long time Mrs. Jennie Hearne, a widow,
has been in his service. She sold books
for him in Iowa and Nebraska before
she came to this city last June. She
received % per cent commission on all
time sales and SO per cent on cash sales.
Mrs. Hearne handles a medical book
and has made quite a success with 1t.
DESTROYS of returning east a. few
days ago, she was informed by Whaley,
to whom she owed a certain sum of
money, that she must first make a set
Element with him. This she could have
done, she had IN her possession a
number of certificates representing
sales she had made, and which were
cOllectable. Whaley admitted to the
court that he assumed charge of these
papers by force and against her wish,
and that he then discharged his solicit
tor. He further took the precautiOn of
locking small closet containing
number of books to which Mrs. Hearne
had access, and ordered the landlady
to demand the room of Mrs. Hearne.
''Whaley was, however, very cleverly
baffied by the woman whom he had
treated so harshly. Consulting an at
tOrney, she was advised that she had
a property interest in the books in the
possession of Whaley, and told her to
return and get them even if she had
to burst open the door with a Ratchet
to attain that end. She did not obey
his instructions literally, but she did
secure books valued at $50 and remov-
ed them to the office of her attorney,
who at once notified Whaley of what
had occurred. The book agent retail
ated by having Mrs. Hearne arrested
on a charge of burglary. His own evil
dence was sufficient to exonerate her,
as she was discharged without being
compelled to testify. The court further
compelled her accuser to pay the costs
of the suit before he left the room"

ABOUT PULLING JOINTS.
Strauss Says he Is Going to Be Sure
Before He Pulls One.

Chief of Police Strauss has arrested six
jointists and has collected strong evidence
against them all. Speaking of this mat
ter he said: q am going to be sure be-
fore I pull a place. There will be those.
perhaps, who will get impatient. But I
am doing my best to make the town free
from joints. If I turned in and made
wholesale arrests I would probably have
several damage suits on my hands. But
I am going to get strong cases against
these places, and then after a few convic-
lions there won't be much trouble. Mr..
Larimer came to me soon after I was APP
pointed and said: Go after them, Strauss.
Just make a wholesale cleaning up and
never mind if the cases aren't strong.
Clean them out Now if I did that,
would plunge the city into damage suits.
and I don't intend to do that. We will
get all these places, and when we get the
cases prepared I don't think there will be
any cause for complaint"
