Shall h New Appointee Make His
Home I'm Eureka?
Within . few days Governor Sadler
will appoint . Judge for the Third Judi
cisl District to succeed Hon. A. L. Fitz-
gerald, who takes his place on the So
preme Bench at the first Of the year.
As the time for the announcement Of
the name Of the new Judge draws near,
the people Of this county are showing
great interest in the matter, and the
suggestion Of the possibility that . man
may be selected who will make his home
ct some other town in the district, has
been the means Of stirring up consider
able suppressed excitement.
Eureka. as the most populous county
in the district, has more cases to come
before the Court than both the other
counties. and pays $50 . year more
toward the Judges salary than the other
two combined. This being the case it
would be . serious matter If the District
Judge were 10 be . resident of some
other town. The Governor, Of course,
realizes that Eureka 10 entitled TO the
Office, and the chances are that he will
give this consideration due attention in
making the appointment; but in order
that there may be no doubt &c 10 the in
terest taken in the matter here, it would
seem that . petition asking for the sp-
pointment Of . Eureka man TO the posi-
tion should be circulated without delay
and forwarded TO the Governor at Car.
son. Such . petition would show that
the people Of this place realize the I'D.
vantage Of having q resident Judge, and
il should. and would. be signed by every
man in the county whe would be given
an opportunity.
IL 10 being reported here that within
the past few days Attorney General
Jones has repurchssed his former home
ct Austin, and this is construed by some
to mean that he expects the appoint
ment. Whether or not there is anything
in this rumor to justify the belief that
Mr.. Jones will be made Judge Of this
district. il would seem that the proper
step for the people Of Eureka county to
take is to notify the Governor at once OF
their desire In the matter, and there 10
no doubt that the great majority Of the
people Of Nye county would, if given an
opportunity. endorse the claim Of Eu-
reks. OF late the people Of Nye county
have made arrangements to receive their
supplies from Eureka, and the result
will be that . more friendly feeling will
grow up between the two counties.

TO SOLVE WATER PROBLEn.
Joe slavery Intends Shaking Z
Large we'll.

Joe slavery Intends Stalking .
Large we'll.
Joe Savery, who keeps the Eighteen
Mile Station on the road to Hamilton,
spent several days in Eureka this week.
He lie making arrangements TO sink .
large well ct his place in order that he
may be prepared 10 water large bands Of
sheep in dry seasons like this, and esti-
mates that he has lost between $500 and
$500 this season by not having water
sufficient to supply the demand. For
many miles in ell directions from his
place there are large tracts Of grazing
lands on which there 10 an abundance of
white sage, and Mr.. Savery reasons that
with . known water supply at the
Eighteenth House the sheepmen
would keep their iooks in that vicinity.
and that the revenue derived from the
supply Of water from the wells which he
proposes to put in would amount to .
considerable figure. He now has one
we'll on bis place that is seventy-six feet
in depth, and this be finds supplies q
sufficient amount Of water for the teams
that stop there.
At the present time there are Hooks Of
sheep numbering fully 10000 being held
on Fish Creek, . few miles west Of Mr..
Savery's place, awaiting . snowfall on
the ranges to the south, and until that
snow comes il will be impossible for the
shsepmen to venture in that direction.
10 the meantime the supply Of feed has
been practically exhausted along Fish
Creek, and if Mr.. Savery was prepared
to furnish water in sufficient quantities
the supply Of feed in his vicinity 10 great
enough to maintain all these Hooks fer
weeks.
Three bands OF sheep owned by Mr..
Mahoney. the Elko sheep man, reached
Duck water on Tuesday Of this week, the
feed in the vicinity of Fish Creek. where
they we're ranging. having become so
scarce that they could nj longer remain
there. In moving them to the Winter
feeding grounds the foreman is taking .
desperate chance because Of the lack OF
water on the ranges, but it was the only
alternative left, and it is hoped that q
snowfall will soon solve the problem and
insure the safety Of the Aooks for the re-
mainder Of the Winter.
Sam Wheeler returned to Eureka on
Saturday last and since then has been
busy looking after his sheep. He reports
that ell the Hooks that we're ranging in
the vicinity Of Fish Creek have been
driven into the mountains in various d.
rsoiions, where there 10 sufficient snow
10 furnish the necessary moisture, and
that they will now have feed enough to
last perhaps eight or ten days. But
10 making this move the owners are tax
ing . risk, asa heavy suowstorm in the
mountains would certainly result in great
loss. Unless snow falls on the ranges to
the south within the next ten days it
will be found necessary to drive ell tran
sient Hocks out Of this section Of coun-
try. Mr.. Wheeler will leave for Reno
on Monday TO spend Christmas with his
family. but. unless snow falls 10 the
meantime, he will return immediately Of.
forwards to superintend the removal oil
his Aooks.

The Useful Peanut.

From the plebeian and omnipresent
peanut Is extracted ON oil that Is ADAPT
able for nearly all purposes, including
nutrition, lighting, lubricating anu
blending. When mixed with olive OIL
it is extremely difficult to tell it from
the pure olive oil. The best qualities
of peanut oil are used for table pur-
noses in salad oil and artificial butter
either pure or mixed with olive oil, COT
ton oil or sesame oil. 1t stands almost
ON a level with cottonseed oil. but for
table uses good peanut oil is worth
rather more than cotton oil. AS an
illuminant it gives a soft, white light.
When ncutralized it is regarded hign.
" for lubricating uses. Peanut OIL
soap is said to be the real type OF the
famous Marseilles white soap.
More oil ia extracted from oleagin-
Gus seeds in Marseilles than In any
other trade centre in Europe, and the
crushing of peanuts constitutes one OF
the most important branches OF tile
business. No special machinery OF
process is involved in this business
that is not required for other Oil seeds
Most of the supply Of peanuts comes
from India, and from Mozambique. OF
the east coast Of Africa, and Senegal
on the west coast. America cuts
small figure in the business directly

died suddenly. he did iiot designate
q successor, as is the custom in ChiEd;
where there exists no law of heredi-

causes of the trouble in China, owing to
The fact that tie Empress Dowager
was able to obtain ascendeney over
the young Emperor; SO that OH Sep

issued announcing that the Emperor
had resigned power to the Empress
Dowager, who has since retained the
direction Of affairs and by her dislike
of foreigners has done r,uch to foment
