All Going to the Circus.

Everybody is talking about Ringing
Bros famous big circus, which is to
exhibit in Reno, Saturday August II
Many people will go from this vicinity
and all should make an especial effort
to arrive in time to see the new free
street carnival which preeedes the ex-
Utilization in the morning at 10 O'Clock.
The procession is divided into thirty
enormous sections, each of which is a
complete parade, and presents in its
entirety a bewilderingly magnificent
two-mile carnival of pageantry. such
as the world has never seen. In this
gorgeous display are shown over 100
beautiful dens and cages of wild ami
mails, 800 horses, 80 elephants and
nearly thousand people, and the cos
tune throughout are of the finest silks,
satins, and cloth of gold. The per-
Torrance that follows is the most
magnificent arenic display ever pre-
sented by any circus in America.

The Ball Game.

The light that glowed like frigate's
glim upon the Gardnerville baseball
team, since their victory at Sheridan a
short time ago, is reduced to the glow
worms spark. Soft and sad as a
boarding house pie do we announce
that the Sheridan team came over last
Sunday and did up the home nine for
all the coin in town.
Sheridan, 35; Gardnerville, 80.
That is the whole melancholy story
in one line. Drat the details!
But hold on. In glancing over the
score, we notice that one of the Sheri-
dan boys made an excellent record.
His name is Smith, and of course, he's
all right. Sure! Any of our readers
knowing a man by that name will dc
we'll to pass him the fruit. Guess we'll
publish that score, after all. We want
to give Smith credit, see?

A Model Taxpayer.

John Sparks of Reno, the cattle man,
is not satisfied with the rate put on
JnorougnDred cattle by che State Board
of Assessors. When he was assessed
in Washoe few days ago he said that
$50 a head was too low for his cattle
and he rated them at $40 and put all in
at that as thoroughbreds. The 800
rate on thoroughbred bulls he also said
was too low for his stock and put them
in at $500 piece.
81 have no hundred dollar bulls, y
he said, "and l want to pay taxes on
something near the value of these an
imals."
His action ought to make some men
blush with shame and the Appeal COM
mends this item to some of the tax
dodgers who try to make an assessor
think that nothing they have is worth
giving away when it comes to be
valued by the tax collector.
John Sparks thoroughbred cattle
are owned by thoroughbred man.

SNAPPER CAUGHT HIM

The pickpocket who tried to "pineh" a likely-looking mans pocket recently and found his fingers in tie grasp of two snapping turtles was Japanese. A native traveller in Japan had bought the turtles. and, being afraid that he would be charged heavily for their transportation as live animals on the train, he placed them in q small port able trunk which he carried. When he got on the train he held the trunk so carefully under his arm that a thief who was in the crowd was sure the man had something valuable i'll the box. So he got into the same car, and took an adjoining seat. Taking his first opportunity, he cut small hole in the trunk with a sharp knife and slipped in his hand. About this time the turtles concluded that there was something doing. and they took hold of his fingers in a hearty way. Grit ting his teeth, the thief tried to with draw his hand, but he couldn't. Then he howled, and the owner of the trunk seized him and turned him over to the train people, who at the next station gave him to a policeman. The inci- dent, however, wasn't closed until the traveller was punished for violation of the railway regulations.-New York Press.

A Bridgeport Opinion of Her Appear
 ance in Supreme Court.
 Last evenings Bridgeport Post had the following about Miss O'Neilrs ap- 3pearance ill the superior court in that city yesterday: For the first time in the sittings of supreme court of the state in this county woman appeared before it to argue this morning. The honor fell to Miss Susan c. O'Neill of Waterbury, who appeared with her father, John O'Neill, as counsel for the defendants in the action brought by J. E. Soper Ss Co. of Boston against Will liam M. Tyler of Waterbury,. When the case was called the five august and learned gentlemen who composed the court glanced simultaneously over their respective glasses at the bright young woman in front of them who was to face their honofs for Sthe first time in her life. There was. just the least bit of 9 tremor in Miss O'Neil1's voice as she started, but she soon had herself together in fine style and was rolling out legal conclusions with. the ease of a promoter booming mining stocks. Miss O'Neill made a nice lit- tie fifteen minute argument along this line and the judges listened to her with respectful attention. After she sat down Attorney T. L. Seery argued briefly for the appellee, and then Miss O'sNeilrs papa wound up with few interesting remarks in support of his daughters claim. He had the court in good humor, but whether he and his fair associate convinced it is another story Jas Kipling would say.

1RvINGs CRUSHING SORROW.

When a young man, rising to fame as an author, Washington Irving fell in love with Mathilda Hoffman. To his eye she was such an image of deli cac yand purity that his love for her grew into an idolatry. In the midst of his dreams of future happiness there came an overwhelming blow from which he never fully recovered. Ma thilda was taken sick with cold: 1t rapidly turned into consumption, and 1t was his agony to see her fade away in single winter, but in his sight beautiful and more beautiful to the last. During the three days and nights of her final sufferings he did not leave her house and scarcely slept. He was at her bedside when she died; his was the last face that she looked upon, and when the grave closed over her the world became blank to him in his distraction. In the nights of his first anguish after AIathilda's death he would carry to his bed her Bible and prayer book and place them tenderly under his pillow. Ever afterward he kept them with him in all of his many wanderings and travels. When he died at Sunnyside he had reached his three-score-and-ten, and his celibacy was still unbroken. There was then found little repository of which he had always kept the key. It was opened and there lay faded memor- andum which told the story of his sor- row. q miniature a braid of fair hair and slip of paper on which he had written "Mathilda Hoffman.

Died at the Almshouse To-day

Died at the Almshouse To-day-Inmate
 for Thirty five Years.
 John Duff, aged 80 years, died rather suddenly at the almshouse this after noon of heart failure. The old gentle man had been at the institution for the past thirty five years and made hiIn- self useful about the place so that 1t might truthfully be said of him that he earned his living up to the day he was called away He used to assist in the kitchen and performed his usual functions there at, noon to-day after which he went into the smoking room and lighted his pipe and started to en- joy a smoke. It is thought that he felt himself getting weak and in order to get q little better air moved his chair into the hallway where he was in the act of seating himself when, he swooned and never rallied. Mir Moran and his wife did all they could to as- sfst him, but their efforts were of no avail. Death had been slow in calling upon him, but when 1t showed up there was no way of saving it's victim. MT Duff was born in Ireland in 1921 and came to the United States in 'black, Ils AAC " tlA GARlO3 SQ 1OI SGYGItll years at Benedict 6s Burnham's and later at some of the other factories. About thirty-fve years ago he became too feeble to compete with the younger element in the labor market and asked for place in the town house where he remained ever since. Iuff could tell some narrowing trials which he encountered during the passage to this country and also about what the peo- pie in his neighborhood had to bear up under when famine stalked through the land and carried away thousands of people, young and old, inside of. a twelyemonth. The day he started for this country he passed by the bodies of three men on the roadside who had died of starvation Two of them had withered branches of trees in their hands which they had been trying to eat and the other had pieces of grass clutched tightly in his hands. "Oh," said the old fellow to reporter of the Democrat not long ago. T hate to think of these days, but much as I try to prevent such things from com ing into my head they crowd in upon me once in . while in spite Of my self"
