The editor of the Carson Appeal,
who. by the way, is recognized
authority on matters of this kind,
offers the following criticism on the
artistic productions Of the day:
"The May number of the Ladies
Home Journal has on its title page
q picture of a man nearly in state
of nudity. He has nothing more
than barley sack about his loins
This is exclusively ladies' maga-
zine. The other monthly magazines
intended for the perusal OF mer
mostly, have their pages ornamented
with female figures with little
cheese cloth about their waists
Everything seems to be running tt
the nude in art. and probably WI
will have to drift along with the
crowd"
We fear the Appeal editor has de-
voted large share of his time to {
close scrutiny of those pictures. ant
the fact that he is enabled to decide
upon the texture OF the draperiel
suggests the use of Q magnifyinl
glass. We blush for him.

DEATH OF SELDOM o WELLS.
He Passed Away at Reno on the
Morning OF May 10.

Seldom o. Wells. who for several
years was a resident of Eureka, died
at Reno on Thursday morning, May
10, the immediate cause of his death
being pneumonia, although he had
been in poor health for long time.
During his residence here Mr.. Wells
was engaged in the sheep business.
He bnilt the house now occupied by
Attorney Breen, where he resided
for some time, and enjoyed the re.
spect and esteem of all who knew
him.
Regarding his death the Reno
Gazette of May 10 said:
Early risers were shocked this
morning to hear Of the death of S. O.
Wells, q prominent business man and
a resident of Reno since 1886. Mr..
Wells was taken down with pneumonia
last Sunday afternoon and passed away
this morning at 5o'clock, at his home
on Sierra street.
Sheldon o. Wells, came to Reno
from Eureka late in 1886. He had been
extensively engaged in sheep raising
previous to coming here from Eureka
and had accumulated considerable
money, which he brought to Reno.
Some time in 1887 he formed a copart-
nership with L. d. Folsom. and the
firm OF Folsom & Wells did a thriving
businessin the Masonic building, at the
corner of Commercial Row and Sierra
street, until 1892, when they dissolved,
and Mr.. Wells opened general mer-
camille business in the two-story brick
building at the corner Of Plaza and
North Virginia street. He did large
and constantly increasing business
there, but owing to failing health he
disposed Of his business last year to the
j. X. Bradley Co., and since that time
has devoted himself to an outdoor life,
looking after the Steamboat irrigating
ditch, which he owned, and his wood
yard. He was energetic and very indus
trious often taking hard trips when a
person with less energy would have
been in bed doctoring ii they had been
in as poor health as Mr.. Wells was.
Mr.. Wells was pioneer Of Nevada,
locating in Austin at an early date, later
participating in the White Pine mining
excitement in the COS. He was
member OF Reno Lodge No. 7, +. q A.
NJ, under whose auspices the funeral
will be held. He was also member OF
Beatifc Lodge No. Z, X. Of p, Of
Eureka.
Mr.. Wells was a native OF Canada
and was 54 years OF age on November
18th, OF last year. He leaves widow
and daughter, Mrs. Sam Wheeler,
and large circle OF friends both in this
State and California, to mourn his
daath
