Sold by the Sheriff.

Sheriff Campbell sold the property
OF the Gold Creek Nevada Mining
Company at noon today to satisfy the
judgement obtained against it by the
Corey Bros. Company of Ogden on
the fourth day of March, 1897. At
torney L. R. Rogers bid in the prop
erty for the plaintiff for the sum of
SIT ,061.35, the full amount of the
judgement, uosts and interests to
date, 1t will be remembered that
the Corey Bros. took the contract to
built the reservoir and bitches. for the
mining company and that the COM
pany failed to pay the contract price.
In order to protect themselves the
Corey Bros. company filed lien and
the case was exclusively tried before
Judge Talbot who gave the plaintiff
judgment for Sl4.615 30 and costs,
OF suit. amounting to $500 05, with
interest on the judgment at the legal
rate until paid. In the meantime the
mining company had reorganized and
the new management applied to
Judge Hawley OF the U. S Circuit
Court to have receiver appointed
for the property. This was done and
the Corey Bros. were unable to COL
lect their judgment or sell the prop
erty covered by their lien under the
decree given to them by Judge Tai
bot. The property remained tied up
until July 10th of this year when
Judge Hawley, on petition OF the
Corey Bros. ordered that the receiver
have until August 18th to pay the
Judgment and in default thereof that
the property be sold by the petitioner
to satisfy the judgment. Under this
order the property was sold today by
Sheriff Campbell.
Attorney Rogers told the reporter
this afternoon that the Gold Creek
Mining Company, if it ever did bust
ness in Nevada again, would have to
pay the full amount of the judgment,
cost and interest to date of settle
ment. He is naturally elated over
the outcome Of the litigation, but
does not think his clients have a bo-
nanZa on their hands.

Committee OH Education Meet.

The committee which has for its
purpose the adoption OF new text
books and the systemIzing Of the
general work Of public schools
throughout the State, met yesterday
in the brick school. There were
eleven members present: State Supt
Ring. Prof E E Caine of Wadsworth;
j e Bray and Mrs. Doten OF Reno,
Monroe OF Dayton; Gwartney Of Eu-
reka, Baugh of Gold Hill, Averin Of
Virginia, Howe of Carson, Winfrey of
Winnemucca, and Cushman Of the
University of Nevada.
Yesterday the committee took up
the discussion Of new books and their
relative merit. Baldwin's series Of
readers was adopeted in preference
to Swinton's. Rational system Of
phonetics we're adopted as prelimln- E
airy. Natural Geogral,y was adopted
in preference to either Fry or Harp
er.
The object OF the committee is 20
do away with the great diversity Of
text books used and place in the
schools throughout the state one sys-
tenn and only one. This will DO away
with the great expense that parents
are put to when changing from one
school to another,-Gazette.

Complications may Result.

over one month ago Indian Frank
the self confessed murderer OF Mrs.
VIM. Del Crosse and infant IN Lander
county. was sentenced to be hanged
by Judge Fitzgerald OF That county.
The law provides that the death sen.
tence must be carried ont within six
ty days Of the time OF the RAISING of
the sentence. 1t also provides that
the court in passing the sentence
must subsequently transmit papers
connected with the case to the Cover.
nor Of the State.
A call at the Governors office this
morning revealed the fact that our
Governor has received no such papers
without which Franks execution will
be illegal.
A rumor is current here that dur
ing the progress Of the trial the mur-
derer's confession was relied upon al
most exclusively and that he was in
no other way connected with the
crime by tho officers OF the law. and
that at the last moment his attorneys
will appear before the Governor with
request for reprieye, which under
the circumstances will have to be
granted, unless the Lander county
officials send on the proper papers.
1t might make an interesting case
and be rather expensive to the coun.
ty in any event. Carson News.I

A Pretty Spectacle.

The region about the Sugar Loaf
yesterday afternoon presented a
pretty spectacle. A dense, white fog.

table, lung over the mountains with
the exception Of Sugar Loaf which
loomed up like lonely island in a
sea of white. The blue sky in the

picture, and every passer by from the
crest of the divide to Silver street
stopped to admire the beauty of the
spectacle. There may be finer climes

effect few can surpass the Comstock.

mence?
An authoritative answer to that all
absorbing question when the new
century begins has just been given
by M. Camille Flammarion, the dis
tinguished astronomer and author.
An authoritative answer his statement
may well be styled. since this is a
subject on which he is particularly
fitted to speak with authority. Ch1o.
nology and astronomy are closely
allied and beng an adept astronomer
M. Elammarion is necessarily also
specially well qualified to grapple
with any problem the solution of
which depends on right understand
ing Of chronology.
From his statement, which covers
the ground thoroughly, the following
is taken:
eff we look back at the past, we
find documents of the years 1899, 1899
and 1899 in which this subject was
discussed, and century hence, In
1899 our descendants will be discus
ing the same old subject. A century
ago the discussions were unusually
lively, and extended even to the the
ater. In 1900 play appeared with
the title Dear God, in what Century
are we Living" This very question
we OF today are again asking.
@Francisque Sarcey,the distinguish
ed critic, says the year 1900 will be
the dawn OF the twentieth century.
He is mistaken. The dawn of the
twentieth century will not come in
1900, even though we constantly hear
that the Exposition Of 1900 will com.
memorate the irth of the new CEN
fury. On the contrary it will CON-
memorate the end Of century. The
year 1900 will be the evening before
the new century, and the dawn will
not begin until after midnight.
"Th1s seemingly difficult problem
Is really very easy OF solution. A
dozen consists of IL units. The num-
Der IL is part of the dozen. One
hundred consists of 100 units and the
number 100 is a part thereof. Now
it is clear that there never was year
0 In the Christian chronology. The
first year was No. 1, and the tenth
year was No. 10, and the hundredth
year of the first century was the year
100.
"What has probably led many per-
sons astray was the change of the
first two figures Of the year rs we see
in the case of 1799-18OO. A similar
change is made however when the
figure 9 becomes 10, or when 80 be-
comes 100. If any one gives me 100
cents ha We a dollar, but the hun.
dredth cent is just as necessary to
make my first dollar as the ninetieth.
My hundred and first cent is the be-
ginning Of my second dollar. The
hundredth is, in fact,a necessary FOR
ton of the dollar.
"In like manner the hundredth
year belongs to the century that is
dying. Exactly, therefore, at mid
night Of December 3lst, 1900, will the
hour glass Of the nineteenth century
run out and at that moment the
twentieth century will start on it's
career"

HAD HEARD DIVINE PATTI
why Sherman Did Mt Care to Hear

Blanche Roosevelt Sing.
An actor at one of the local theaters
tells a story of how blunt old General
Sherman declined to hear Blanche
Roosevelt sing. The generals kind
heart and helpful nature led him to
stretch out the hand of encouragement
to many a struggling aspirant for ORA
matte and musical honors. But his
proteges sometimes were not selected
capabilities. Among others, he be-
slowed his friendly interest upon Miss
Roosevelt, who, fifteen years ago or
more went to New York to sing in
light opera. She instituted a weekly
musicale at her hotel, preceding her
appearance. One of these General
Sherman was expected to attend az
the guest of highest honor. The hours
went by and the hostess was In des-
pair, for the general did not arrive.
Lethargy fell upon the a~ssemblage.
which the playing and singing OF
mediocre people could not dissipate.
After midnight the grim old warrior,
wrapped in a long military cape. ap-
peared on the scene, and Joy beamed
on Miss Roosevelt's handsome face.
"Oh, general" she said impulsively,
'Tve refused to sing until you came.
What would you like?" Nothing"
he answered laconically. The lady's
face fell. you see," he continued,
Il have been down at the Academy this
evening listening to Patti as Marguer-
ite, and l don't want the memory dis
turbed before l go to my dreams"
1t was rather tough, but Miss Roose-
welt took it good-humoredly, for she
knew that the old general had no
thought OF being ungallant when he
said just what he meant in his own

Fertile Lands of Colorado,

The traveller who visits Colorado for che
first time is surprised and impressed with
the opportunities the state affords in agri-
cultural pursuits. The mineral wealth of
the state, with its many famous mines,
seems to have become ixed in the minds OF
strangers, crowding out all knowledge of
her wonderfully fertile soil. Little thought
is ever given to the 2,C0c miles of irriga-
CATION canals that have been constructed,
and the 2 1000, 600 acres of land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, ont
out of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eighty-one special premiums
were awarded. covering all kinds of fruit
and produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union.
The fruit industry has reached "a, goo, 900 q
year and is yet in it's infancy. Sugar beet
culture is a profitable industry. The min
eral wealth of the state, which leads all
other states in the Union in the output of
gold and silver, does not compare with her
agricultural wealth. A handsome and pro-
iusely illustrated pamphlet, entitled The
Fertile Lands of Colorado" has just been
issued by the passenger department of the
Denver g. Rio Grande railway, and gives
detailed information of the lands and their
location, and may be had upon application

Nearly a quarter Of a century ago,

women of the north organized a move
nSnt against the saloons, which as
sumed large proportions and took the
form of a veritable crusade. 1t invad-
ed almost every city and large town,

from saloon to saloon praying and
singing in every place where they could
secure permission. While the crusade
of the praying sisters was at its
height that stanch old rebel, Jubal A.
Early, visited Richmond, Va, for the
first time since the close of the civil
war. "In the hotel" said he to tho
