Senate on a Local
Measure.

Yesterday Senator Livingstone bill

City Trustees of Carson to put the

receiving four votes.
Senator Livingston in presenting the
bill stated hat it vas purely "a local
measure, of interest only to the people
of Carson and that the people were a

members from other counties, vet he
found that there was a decided OppO-
sition to this measure by the member
of WashOe. who was no way interested
and the member from White Pine,
who lived hundreds of miles from
Ormsby comfy and by other members
who paid no taxes in Ormsby and were
in no way interested.
AS the Senator warmed up to his
work he told how this county had
voted 5000, 600 V. & T. bonds and had
paid interest on the same until it
amounted to $3.50. 600 and did it with.

PRODUCTS OF TREES.


Bread and Butter and Milk and Candles
The bread fruit tree of Ceylon is
very remarkable. Its fruit is baked
and eaten, says Ladies' Home Journal,
as we eat bread, and is equally good
and nutritious. In Barbutu. South
America, is a tree which, by piercing
the trunk. produces milk with which
the inhabitants feed their children. In
the interior of Africa is tree which
produces excellent butter. 1t resem-
bles the American oak, and its fruit,
from which the butter is prepared, is
not unlike the olive. Park, the great
traveller, declared that the butter sur
passed any made in England from
cows milk. At Sierra Lec7e is the
eream-fruit tree, the fruit of which is
quite agreeable in taste. At Table
bay, near the Cape of Good Hope. is a
small tree the berries OF which make
excellent candles. 1t is also found in
the Azores. The vegetable tallow tree
also grows in Sumatra, in Algeria and
in China. In the island of Chusan
large quantities of oil and tallow are
extracted from its fruit. which is gath
cred in November or December, when
the tree has lost all its leaves. The
bark Of tree in China produces a
beautiful soap. Trees Of the sapindus
or soap-berry order also grow in the
north of Africa. They are amazingly
prolific, and their fruit contains about
rs per cent of caponin.

The direct result OF the advent OF
Willis and the declaration of his pur-
pose was the utter decentralization of
those lawless elements that had here
tofore been kept in check by the power
of the government aud fear of pun
ishment. But now we were confront
cd by strange aud disturbing con
dition of affairs.
We, the Liberals, holding the reins
Of government, were at war, 1igura-
lively, with the Royalists on one hand,
aud the United States--the very power
we depended upon to befriend us-on
the other. The Royalists, seeing their
advantage in the presence of friend
ly force, became menacing and bold.
Buildings were burned, fred by mis-
creants at night, and placards left pro-
claiming the supremacy OF royalty.
Whether these outrages were com
mitted by persons of good standing
in the Royalist ranks, or by lawless
people glad to seize upon any pretext
to give free rein to their depredatory
proclivities, l do not know. But it is
certain that under the impetus given
to lawlessness by the strange attitude
assumed by the United States minis
ter, Honolulu was kept in a horrible
condition Of unrest. We Of the Amer
lean League did not know what mo
ment the guns of the United States
ships would open on us.
There was one hitch.
President Cleveland had insisted
that Queen Liliuokalani grant general
amnesty when she became reseated
on her throne. This she refused to
do. She stubbornly insisted that
Dole and all other members Of the
government should be beheaded.
Willis stood appalled, before this
menace, and moved neither backward
nor forward,
And chaos reigned.
A sold ,r was struck down by a
stone, thrown by an adherent of the
queen. Gordon soon brought the
eulprit to justice.
The ladies' of American families
were terror stricken and remained
secluded, as they were continually in
suited if they ventured out.
The true condition of affairs was so
distortedin the minds Of the Royalists,
that the more ignorant among them
thought they would have the protec-
ton Of the United States in any act
directed against the provisional gov
ernment.

SILVER VEIN FOUND.
Years ago the product had been used
for making bad money-Now the
mine will be worked.

The discovery in mountain in
Berkeley county, w. Va. of cavern
containing mining tools, smelling
pots. mods, ETC., brings to light a
hidden silver mine, the facts of which
read like romance.
About the early 40s two men living
in Berkeley county would freoueLtly
absent themselves from the commun-
ity and remain away for days at a
time. Their actions did not excite
suspicion, and whatever were their OPP
erations they were allowed to pursue
them without investigation. 1t was
not long, however, until spurious coin
made its appearance in Cumberland
and the surrounding territory. The
limitations were bad, but contained
good silver. The two men were not
suspected until one of them was ar
rested in this city for passing counter
felt money. The man was tried on
the charge, convicted and sent to the
penitentiary, but the law was unable
to extort confession from him as to
where the coin was made.
Soon after his conviction his COM
panion left the country, but returned
just prior to his death. The secret
would have died with him, had not an
old man, Jacob Horden, called his son
to his side one day and after Impress
ing him TO the deepest secrecy, told
him where the mint was located.
Horden had by accident stumbled up
on the secret, but would not mention
1t for fear the Government would hold
him as an accomplish, so he extracted
promise from his son to retain the
secret until after his death.
The son faithfully adhered to the
promise. About two years ago, after
the death of his father, in company
with two Others sworn to secrecy, he
visited the place and following the
directions found the mint, and the
vein Of silver ore. Still there was fear
that he would be looked upon as an
accomplish, and it was not until
few days ago that the secret became a
source of worry to the man, and he
contided it to prominent citizen who
assured him that he would incur no
trouble in making the place Of the
hidden treasure known, which he has
promised to do.

the 59th year OF her age. She was
born August 28th 1910. Her exact
age was SO years 6 months and Is

She was married to John S. Lemon
June 10th 1858. To this union, six
children were born. Mr. Lemon died,

she was united in Holy matrimony to

was almost an incessant sufferer for
seven weary years when the end came.
On the both day of last January her

MORE SLIDES.
Catawba Again Breaks Loose
with its Real Estate.

Tracks Bloekaded so that Trains Can
not Pass Transfers Being Made.
Same old Slide won't be Good-Trou-
BILE on this Branch this Winter and
Spring Slides and Blizzard Delay
and Embarrass the Railroad people
Great Deal.
The slide at Cataba has again
broken loose ard there is great
amount Of real estate on the tracks
up there. It is not known how long
this will hold the fort or how long
the train will have to transfer but
this was begun this morning and
will be kept up until the track is
clear again. The slide has given a
great deal OF trouble to the railroad
people and It does not seem disposed
to stop its foolishness very soon.
The early morning train was
caught and prevented from getting
down on time Transfers were
started and the people on it were
DELAYED until that could be arrang-
ed.
This branch has suffered great
deal from slides this spring In
fact it has been the worst place on
the entire system but it has not been
alone in its misery. All parts Of the
road have been affected by the move
ments in real estate that have taken
place. What has caused them all is
hard to say but the causes are uni
versal and have given trouble every
where that the road goes.
On the main line in the eastern
part of the state some very large
slides have come in and these have
delayed trains for great lengths of
time At other places similar Difficult
ties have been encountered.
At Little Falls on the local line
the track mas been covered so deep
~ that it has been abandoned and
no efforts will be made to get it into
shape until spring opens in earnest.
A temporary track is at present
built around the slide and the trains
are running on the new track
The roads have suffered more since
Christmas than they have ever had to
in any previous year in the same
length Of time. The blizzard was the
first thing to knock them out and now
they have to contend with the slides.
They hope that things will soon settle
down and stop the funny business
that has resulted In so much delay
and loss.

CONGRATULATE us.
Kingw0od Journal is happy oyer the
free bridge-Other items.

The following items are taken from
the last issue Of the Kingwood Jour
nal:
Charlie Smith is home for a few
days this week He will return to
Morgantown soon.
The next term of court will be Pc
titioned TO authorize Valley district
to vote on bonds for the extension of
the w. V. n. r. r. Until the ma
ture of the order issued by the court
is known, it will be premature to dis
cuss the measure but we would re-
mark Just here that the amount of
aid asked for is very moderate-only
$15, 000-and on terms which strike
us as very fair and liberal.
We congratulate Morgantown on
having secured free bridge across the
Monongahela. The imposing of tolls
on bridge or road is a clumsy. in
equitable and out of date method Of
maintaining the same. The entire
burden falls on only portion of those
who are benefited by the bridge or
road, and as consequence people do
not use it whenever they can avoid
doing so. In the present instance, a
large share of the trade legitimately
belonging to Morgantown has been di-
verified to other points. A free bridge
now annexes the west side of Monon-
gala to the resteof the county, and
will also result in the rapid growth OF
West Morgantown. A very impor-
tant suburb will materialize on that
side of the river.
