turaing out tons of ground gypsum
daily from their Empire mill. The
raw product comes from Ex-Governor
Adams mine near the Mound House.
This is the greatest fertilizer for alkali
soils known. Benjamin Franklin was
the first to discover the qualities OF
gypsum as a fertilizer. He chose an
aka fat in Pennsylvania and with
gypsum made in large letters on the
ground the words 1.-THE uses OF gyp-
sum-" For some time these letters
could be seen from . mountain road
for over mile in glazing white. After
the rains they changed to green where
the vegetation sprang up. Last spring
the writer tried some of this fertilizer
on alkali adobe soil which was seeming
~ worthless. The land thus dressed
was planted to wheat. The wheat
grew rankly to height of nearly six
feet, and produced ton to the acre OF
plump and perfect grain without a
drop of irrigation. The portions of
the field not treated produced much
less than where the fertilizer had been
used. There are millions OF acres of
land in Nevada that can be made enor-
mously productive with the gypsum
treatment. Try it and you will never
regret it.

The Proper Credit.

The Report is disposed to give the
credit of the big majority for the Sill
ver- Democratic ticket in Washoe to
the speeches of Sardis Summerfield. 1t
is hardly right to give him all the
credit. Of course, his Republican
speeches helped the Democratic ticket,
but we honestly believe that it would
have won if he had never made a
speech, although possibly by reduced
maJorities. When he used to make
speeches in this county against the Sill
yer ticket, it swept the county clean
and since he left and settled in Washoe
the Silvermen have won, but by con
| sidera oily reduced majorities. The Sill
| yer men tried to get him here to talk
against their county ticket but ne was
too foxey.

Nevada's Population.

s. 1t 10 safe to say. that Nevada has
reached the low water mark in the
past decade in population. There is no
doubt that we have more people now
than we had in the depressing times of
1893, but the census shows falling off
since 1900 of about 3OOO Since the
panic and the stopping of the silver
mines we have been gradually on the
increase and our population today is of
permanent character. There is prom
ise that we will make great gains in
the present decade. 1t will be in the
agricultural districts. The LovelOck
valley alone is capable of sustaining a
population equal to that of the entire
state at the present time. Our resour-

CORRESPONDING UPHELD.
Woman Forced to Pay Commission
which She Alleged Were Unlawful.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 29.-Judge ]. Wes-
ley Booth, of the Clayton Circuit Court,
to-day rendered a decision upholding the
legality of bucket-shop transactions from
the standpoint of common law. The case
was that of Gaylord. Blessing & Co,
against Hannah Duryea. The plaintiffs
asked judgment for $3,479OS which they
alleged was commissions due them from
the defendant for specializing in stocks
for her. Mrs. Duryea contested the claim
on the ground that all the transactions
were gambling ones, and accordingly not
within cognizance of law.
Judge Booth rendered an oral decision.
The transactions, he said, were carried on
in New York. and were consequently under
the laws of that State. the wording of
which he was not familiar with. In the
absence of statutory enactment he said he
would have to rely on common law and
would give verdict for the plaintiffs, as
attempt to knock out the transactions
on the charge of gambling could not be
sustained, because both principal and agent
knew at the time of the transa ction that
there was to be no actual transfer of stock.
The case has attracted much attention
among lawyers on account of the question
that it involved.

OBITUARY.
DIR. w. G. Beres, Father of the White
Mans Game of Lacrosse.

MONTREAL, Dec. 29.-Dr. w. G. Beres,
who is dead here, the father of the
modern game of lacrosse, which, original
ing in Montreal, has spread all over Anglo
Saxondom. When young man he noted
the possibilities in the game which was
then played in rude fashion by the In
dams of the Caughnawagha and st. Regis
reserves, and after reducing it to a-system
with recognized rules and a limited num-
Der of players, he interested young men
of Montreal in it and it sprang into public
favor so rapidly that within a very few
years it was regarded as the distinctive
national game of Canada. He took la
crosse team TO Great Britain and Ireland
in 1876 and introduced the game there,
where it still f1ourishes. The team gave an
exhibition before the Queen at Windsor
castle. DIR. Beers was a well-known con-
tributor on sporting and athletic matters
to various magazines and was at one time
prominently identified with the Canadian
militia.

NEGRO QUESTION DISCUSSED.
Prof. Harris View of the Burning of
CoIOred People ut the Stake.

DETROIT, Mich. Dec. 29.-Papers were
read at to-day's session of the American
Historical Association, which is in session
in the convention hall of the Russell
House here. covering periods in history
in America from 1875 to the negro question.
as it stands at the present time. The first
paper was on 1.-THE Opposition of Parlia-
ment 1765-1775 by Prof. w. c. Abbott of
Dartmouth College. The second was THE
Undoing of the Reconstruction" otherwise
known as 1.-The Negro Question" This pa
per was read by William A. Dunning, of
Columbia University. In brief, Prof. Dun
ming said that the men who had handled
the negro question in the middle of the
century were of strong emotions and mar
row judgment, laboring under the delusion
that the adjustment of slavery meant the
adjustment of every other obstacle inn
mediately.
In the discussion which followed Prof.
Alfred Bushnell Hart, of Harvard Uni
versity, said the removal of the negro from
the South, by colonization elsewhere, would
kill the Southern States. The South, he
said, could not live without the negro. He
deplored the lynching of negroes, but as
serted that If the people of a community
demanded the burning at the stake of
negroes as a penalty for committing hor-
rible crimes, the State should make burn
ing the legal penalty. A number of other
members also discussed the question.
