I notice that the newspapers of Ne.
vada have abbreviated the word ''Sen-
ator" to "Sen." l believe there is
greater reason and more provoeation
to abbreviate the word Assembly
man." "Sen." for SENATOR is not
euphonius; "Ass." for "Assemblyman"
is. For instance: "John Brown, the
Hon. ASS. from Washoe county is
visiting relatives on the Comstock,"
seems to set off the proposition about
right. There is sort of tout ensemble
about it which is utterly wanting in
the abbreviation of the word Senator,
but only in the fact that the abbrevia-
ton 'Sen.n stands for Senator instead
of senility.

Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: Let us see how
the thing reads, and how it sounds
when you read it;
II. f. Dangberg and IVm. Dang6e'y
Debtor to
Wna. johnson, Joe Pete
Ian Indian d. Co.,
To reward of two hundred dollars tc
any person who will arrest and deliver
to the officers the Indian who killed
Will Dangberg, 5000.
The bill calls upon II. r. Dangberg
and VIM Dangberg to pay 5000 to VIM.
Johnson, Joe Pete & Co., |. g., to pay
to Joe Pete such part of the reward as
VIM. Johnson, Joe Pete & Co. may
have arranged amongst themselves as
shall be the share of Joe Pete-in the re-
ward; and to explain further, to pay
to Joe Pete such share in said reward
as he may be entitled to under his
combination with VIM. johnson, Joe
Pete & Co., for his delivery and sur
render, when charged with having
murdered VIM. Dangberg, anephew of
H. F. and VIM. Dangberg.
It was argued before the Board of
State Examiners, which allowed a
similar biiL that it made no difference
what Johnson did with his reward
money-that he could throw it into. a
spittoon or into the sea. don't think
it would make any difference whether
he threw it into spittoon or into the
sea, but / believe it makes great
moral difference if he gives it to Joe
Pete, or to his indefinite and underlined
Go. believe it makes the same diff
ference as it does to man whether he
has his own hands in his pocket, or is
in bed with his wife, or whether some
one else is intruding on his reserves.
Did VIM. Dangberg and H. F. Dang
berg offer reward of 5000 to any cap
tor of Joe Pete, who would divide with
Joe Pete, which money would be used
for his defense? Of course, there was
nothing said in the reward as to how
the money was to be used. But if II.
F. and VIM. Dangberg meant by their
reward that Joe Pete should have any
part of it for his benefit, they could
have offered him 500 for his surrender,
and no middle man would have been
needed. But would the Dangbergs
have offered any reward, any part of
which should be used for Joe Pete's
benefit? Would they not have said,
1--WE are taxpayers in this county, and
we call upon the county to protect us
in our lives and propertyg' 1t would
seem to be plain that the reward offered
by H. F. and VIM. Dangberg did not
contemplate thatJoe Pete should share
In any part of it. Anyhow, l would |
have to cultivate my cheek for some |
time before | would present the bill.

GENERAL MOVEMENT
BY the British Is Apparently Taking
Place In South Africa


Place In South Africa.
London. Feb. S-The British col
umns are putting themselves in mo-
ton in all parts of the South African
war field A combined attack upon
the Beers appears to be in progress.
Gen Butler has gained a footing on
the plateau north of the Tugela, after
two days Of hard fighting.
On the far western border Lord Me-
against the Boer right, while Gen.
Macdonald threatens the Boer flank,
thus relieving the pressure on Lord
MethuenS front.
Lord Roberts, who, according TO an
informant in close touch with the war
office. is In the middle of the theater
of war, has begun the march on
Bloemfontein.
The Beers have taken the initiative
against Gen. Gatacre. attacking two
of his positions at Sterkstroom.
1t really looks as though the general
forward movement, so long talked of,
were in progress Gen. Buffers third
attempt At relieving Ladysmith alb
serbs attention.
Telegrams from 100 and 200 words
from a dozen correspondents have
been passed by the censor who has
apparently redated mesSag ges wrlcten
Monday or Tuesday to Wednesday at
o. N. From these it is clear that
Gen. Butler, up TO Tuesday evening
had taken one hill, had repulsed a
Boer counter attack and was holding
the position against an enfflading fire
from Spion kop and Doorm kloof
His losses, as maintained by one cor
respondent. are go.
The only telegrams from Boel
sources assert that one of Gen. Bul
ler's attempts 70 seize NE fords
failed. but they admit that he has
lodged forces on one kopje.

The matter has been taken up with a

1t will be seen from the table that
in sum of rankings Ellis and kenney
tied. Counting Der cents, however,
Mr.. Kenney was several points
ahead.
The close race was understood at
first to be between Eggemeyer and
Kenney, and SO it proved to the last.
While Mr. Kenney led his chief oppo-
nent on thought and composition,
the brilliant delivery of the latter
won the Judges and carried the deci-
sion. The audience was much divided
in its opinion as to who would win,
and it is regarded as the closest
and best oratorical contest on
record. The orations of kenney and
Eggemeyer are declared the best
ever delivered in the Richmond High
school, and the others were SO close
in pursuit as to cause considerable
difference OF opinion as TO the win
| ner.
1t is believed that in the state
contest Mr. Eggemeyer will senC
somebody along at lively clip fol

tion of either first or second in las
night 5 contest ranks up with colleg,
orations and either would have stoot
a good chance of winning the bigge

The third speaker of the evening
was Walter Eggemeyer of the junior
class. His subject was Charles
theme, both in composition and de
livery, was most admirable. He took
up the history of this country at she
point where the fugitive slave law
was passed, and where Charles Sum
ner took up the championship OF the
slaves. From that point the oration
of Mr.. Eggemeyer was a cyclone of
polished eloquence. His voice was
strong, full. and deep, his enuncia-
tion was clear, his gestures appro-
pirate and natural, his. thought clear,
vigorous, logical, his peroration beau
tiful- He was given an enthusiastic
reception by the audience, not for
his personal popularity, which Is
great, but on the sheer merit of his
oratiQn and his presentation of it.
He was immediately picked out as a
winner by large portion of the
audience.
'ANGLO-sAXoN SUPREMACY.
Joseph Kenney was the next
speaker Mr.. kenney is member OF

tant. His subject, Anglo Saxon
Supremacy, was one that required

tion showed in every line and period.
The thought was strong and coura-
geous, and its expression contained
not a single ambiguous phrase. The
delivery was forcible, characterized
by a strong, full voice, careful enun-
citation ansi earnestness. The ges-
lures were few but appropriate, Wig
orous and comprehensive The ar
