AN CUB
MESSAGE

Governor Sadler has addressed the
following very important message TO the
Legislature now in session:
State Of Nevada, Executive Dept.
To the Honorable Senate and Assem-
bly,:
Recognizing your efforts to amend.
adjust or revise our Revenue Laws,
aware of the various measures and
bills before you for consideration, with,
SO far as | am informed, no conclusions
reached, and the final adjournment
near at hand. | feel | am justified In
making a few suggestions relative to
the most prominent bills intended and
aimed to remedy the existing defects in
our present Revenue Laws, toWit: AS
sembly Bill No. 1l6 and Senate Bill
No. rs. | desire your consideration of
these bills. | believe no relief can
come through Senate Bill No. rs, as
the said proposed Act through the two
provisions in Section ! thereof, leaves
the equalization Of values exactly as
prescribed in the present law, which
has proven so unsatisfactory, that | fail
to see any advantage the State can de-
rive from the bill as printed. That
there Is not only a universal demand
for a change in the mode Of ~equalizing
values throughout the State. and also
a necessity to prevent discriminating
favoritism in assessments, cannot be
questioned, and | take the liberty of
expressing the opinion that the pro-
visions of Assembly Bill No. ll6 more
nearly meets and overcomes the diff
culties under which our State labors.
and is better calculated to afford re.
lief from unjust Partially in several
classes of assessments than any
measure that has been 50 far brought
forward.
Unless some such law is enacted
am impressed with the fear that the
needs of the State, and justice to the
whole body Of its taxpayers may alb
s~olutely necessitate the calling Of ar
extra session Of your Honorable bodies
at an early day to consider these seri-
Gus problems. REINHoLD SADLER.
Governor.

THE LEGISLATURE.
HOUSE

HOUSE.
SB 81, by joint committee on
ways and Means-General %approprla-
ton bill.
Inc appropriation bill passed with
few amendments, one being that the
appropriation of $1,000 for the State
fair held at Reno 81 ESQ, and $3.50
appropriated to the district fair at Car
son. This was agreed upon by the
two delegations in order to drop the
contention existing between the two
counties.
At the afternoon session Nelson of
Humboldt offered a resolution censur-
ing the board Of control Of the Orphans
Home for not recommending larger
appropriations for that institution to
furnish better accommodations for the
children during the noon meal. AS II
now Is and has been for years past, the
children are supplied with eatables and
drink out of a common receptacle, and
they take their portion and use the
floor or a convenient box or rock in
the yard for seating purposes. After
considerable discussion the resolution
was defeated.

Orphans Home Fond.

The legislative committee appointed
to investigate the disappearance of the
Orphans Home fund have made a re-
port that action be taken to enforce
the payment of the J. E. Jones note.

opinion that the Directors of the Or
phans Home, from the first of January,
1891. to the first of January. 1899,
we're each and all culpably negligent
and guilty of nonfeasance in office"

Seasonable Suggestions.

The weeds and grasses among the
fruit trees and berry bushes have re-
ceived the full benefit of the warm,
growing weather, and in no season
have they required more persistent
work. And as they must be kept
down, as last resort we are forced
to use the scythe in some places.
Burdock, yellow dock, thistles, etc,
abound in out Of the way places, but
if the spud is used and the plants cut
below the surface while in bloom, no
seed will appear to perpetuate the
plant and annoy the cultivator next
year.
Newly set strawberry plants require
more particular care during this
month than the bush berries. IF
weeds and grass are allowed to grow
among the runners it takes time and
hand work to free the bed, and in
pulling weeds we are liable to disturb
the roots of the runners, which gives
the plants a setback from which
they suffer materially. If the old
beds are to be run another year they
should receive attention as soon as
possible after the berries are picked.
Exchange.

Their Opinions.

The civic committee of Boston sub
mitted seven questions to the secre-
taries of all the state boards of agri-
culture, asking whether in their opiu-
ion, the purely legitimate agricultural
fair or the "wide open" fair pays
everyway better in the long run.
Twenty-four secretaries have declared
unanimously against the wide open
fair, and say that intoxicating liquors
should be vigorously excluded, to-
gether with games of chance, vulgar
tent shows, "midways," circus fea-
lures, etc. This is most satisfactory
news. The annual fair has grown, in
many instances to be a center of dan.
ger for attending young people as
we'll as adults, and it is to be hoped
that this body of secretaries may be
able to push their theories to practical
issue.

Pretty Things To Wear.

A graceful trimming is made of
rows of narrow velvet or satin ribbon
put together with herring bone stitch
in heavy silk twist of the same or a
contrasting color.
Hosiery must match the gown, say
the arbiters of fashion, no matter
what the color of the latter. Some
of the green hose are striking, but at
tractive.
Women who have fine amethysts
hidden away in their jewel caskets
may bring them out with a flourish,
as they are to be highly popular this
win ter
Bracelets, too, may be taken out, if
dainty and artistic, as dressy gowns
for the cold weather will continue the
fashion, now prevailing, of having the
sleeve end at the elbow. This neces-
states bracelets when gloves are not
worn.

w. c. T. u. COLUMN.
ANOTHER ITEM OF THE COUNT.

Crimes directly chargeable to the
liquor traffic are of so common occur
renee that the story of them has
almost ceased to specially shock the
public. Like Rome in the days of
Nero, we know that we are in the
hands of a murderer, and have grown
callous to his atrocities. Occasionally
some instance of particular hideous-
ness occurs that by it's unusual fea-
lures challenges public attention.
Such a one was found III the daily
papers recently.
It appears that in the little town of
Beaverton, Mich, there was hotel
proprietor named ArnelI. After sew
eral days of hard drinking he went
into his house, and his little girl, only
six years old, hearing him coming,
and fearing him in his condition, ran
upstairs and hid from him under bed.
He followed her, and, finding her hid
ing place, shot her dead. The mother,
hearing the shot, ran upstairs, and
was met by her husband, who fatally
WOUuO0U u0r WIFI duOlu0r SuOG.
Coming down stairs he caught sight of
his aged mother sitting IN chair, an
invalid from years Of paralysis. He
fired at her, the bullet blowing it's way
along her arm. Coming into the
street he met and fired at two Of his
sisters, wounding neither of them,
however. A little further on he met
his brother and brother law and
wounded the former, when the
brother-i in law fired and wounded him,
after which he was taken prisoner
and hurried to the jail.
This is the story told in the plainest
possible language, without an adjec-
tive or an adverb, the bare, naked
facts The strange thing about it is
that the American people know that
the saloon produces this sort of thing,
have known it for years, and keep the
saloon right on as if they wanted these
things done.

Breaking Sitters.

The ''breaking up" of sitting hens
has been problem, and hundreds of
suggestions have been made in regard
to the best methods. Many of the
proposed remedies are cruel, aud in
fict unnecessary punishment on the
poor hen for simply endeavoring to
satisfy her natural inclination. The
easiest mode is to make a box COM
posed of strips of lath. If lath, which
is cheaper, have the top, sides and
bottom of that material, and place the
box on some kind of support, so that
it will not touch the ground, or sus-
pend it from a hook. There being a
free circulation of air around her, she
will soon become Disguised. Give
her only one meal daily, using no
corn, but plenty of grass, with some
meat, and all the water she can drink.
Place the box under shelter in stormy
weather.

Cooking School AxiOms.


Bread keeps moist longer if you al
low one tablespoonful of shortening
to each cup of liquid.
When making bread in cold weather
first warm the bread pan, the flour
and the kueading board.
When pan broiling chops always
stand them for minute on their ends
that the fat edge may be cooked crisp
and brown instead of remaining pale
and unsightly.
When cooking a small roast first
scar it all over on a hot spider. This
will Immediately drive in the meat
juices and less heat will be required
in the oven.
If corned beef is very red, which
means it is very salt, put it to cook in
cold water. This draws out portion
Of the alt.
In hot weather use no vegetables
in soup stock; it will keep better.
Add the vegetables in making the
soup.
If making a gelatine dessert on a
hot or wet day, add little more
gelatine than the recipe requires, half
as much again if you wish to mold
fruit into the jelly.
An ordinary sized box of pulverized
gelatine holds five tablespoonfuls.
A tough piece of meat can be very
nicely stewed in a double boiler. 1t
will take twice as long, however, as if
cooked directly over the fire.-Good
housekeeping.

DR.. VIM. Elliott Griffis tells us that
to the Dutch we are indebted for the
thimble, that little finger helmetbeing
their invention, and that we must
thank them, too, for the sheet, night
gown, edtick, pocket handkerchief,
tablecloth, napkin and sheets, these
indispensable adjuncts to our modern
comfort originating with the clever

that we were not born too soon.-Er.

OUR FARMERS.
Dairy Dots.

Cream ready to be churned has a
smooth, granular appearance, with a
rather sharp, acid taste. When cream
reaches this state it should either be
| churned at once or cooled down to
about so degrees F. and warmed to So
or so degrees when churned.
Cream should be churned at as low
a temperature as possible, and have
the butter come in from one-half to
one hour Warm cream and rapid
churning mean a large quantity of
butter lost in the buttermilk, as we'll
as soft butter, which is very hard to
handle after it comes.
If the local market calls for colored
butter, the coloring matter should be
put in the cream as soon as the latter
enters the churn. The ideal color tor
butter is produced naturally under
June conditions, where the cows have
an abundance of fresh green grass.
At no time of the year should we at
tempt to give butter any higher color
than this.
To hasten the ripening or to get the
right kind of Tactic acid germs, start
ers are used to advantage. These
may consist either of buttermilk, sour
skim milk or especially prepared COM
mercial starters. Starters on the
farm can doubtless be best procured
by using milk or skim milk. Select
good healthy COW, put her milk into
we'll scalded can and keep at a tenn
perature Of So to 80 degrees until it
becomes clabbered. Then use about
one part of starter to nine parts of
cream. The cream may be kept at
temperature anywhere from 60 de-
grees to rs degrees F., if care be
taken to cool it down as soon as the
right quantity of Tactic acid is devel-
oped.-Dairy and Creamery.

HOUSEHOLD.
A School Day.

A School Day.
Polly's gone to school to- day;
That is why the house is still
Carried smiles and chatter gay
To the schoolhouse on the hill.
Everything is prim and neat
No need now to scold or frown;
Yet I long for little hands
Scattering playthings up and down.
Noah's ark is stranded safe
High upon sand hills crest,
And the animals are all
Taking a much-needed rest;
In their places sit the dolls,
On each face painted smile
AS they wonder why Mamma
Leaves them such long long while.
Mother Goose is on the shelf,
Johnny Warner and Bopeep;
The china dog upon the rug
Has long since fallen fast asleep.
Slow the sun creeps down the west;
Slow the coming Of the night;
What pity baby girls
Needs must learn to read aud write!
When my darling comes from school
With her little stock of lore
Shall chide her childish ways.
AS I've often done before?
In the stiffness have conned
Ger and DER loves golden rule;
Dreamed of life in loves eclipse;
Thus [, too, have been to school.

whitewashing and Dust-baths.

Whitewashing is very important
matter, and one that is frequently
overlooked. All the crevices and
cracks must also be whiteWashed, as
it is not only necessary to keep the
houses thoroughly clean but the fowls
themselves must be attended to.
With laying hens it is very important
that they shall be kept perfectly clean,
for. if they are troubled with insects
then the number of eggs from them
willEbe considerably. reduced. With
growing chickens, too, it is important,
because it will be found that if they
are uuclean they will never thrive.
There should always be supplied to
the birds a suitable dust bath in which
they can dust themselves. It is e
very common sight to see the birds
lying about on the roadway or wher
ever they can find any. dust or dirt,
and thoroughly busting themselves.
When they are kept in ruins it is how
ever, different, as in this case they
are not able to get a natural busting,
hence a busting box must be supplied
them -Erchdnqe.
