A TARIFF COMMISSION.
Cabinet officer Says President Roosc-
welt VIII Favor Plan in
His Coming Message.

Milwaukee, Oct. 15.-That President
Roosevelt will recommend in his forth
coming message to congress the crea-
ton of a tariff commission is the belief
of Postmaster General Payne, as ex-
pressed here Tuesday. Mr.. Payne said
further:
"The president will probably favor
reduction of import duties upon prod
ucts which no longer need protection.
He is also inclined to favor the crea-
ton of permanent tariff commission,
which can at all times receive testi-
mony subject to expert consideration
on the varying interests of production
and trade, submitting it's reports and
recommendations to congress, as
other departments of the national
government. This will insure the
thorough and careful compilation of
all information accessible, and will
save to congressional committees q
vast amount of labor.
"This was the policy outlined by the
president in his speech at Logansport,
Ind, which he had prepared for deliv-
cry at Milwaukee, and which, it is safe
to predict, will be embodied in his an
nual message to congress. He is
strongly in earnest in these views, as
we'll as in those in relation to reci
procity as a feature of our CONNER
cial intercourse with foreign nations.
"Since the adjournment of congress
overwhelming manifestations that the
people favor reciprocity with Cuba in
dictate that the opposition to that
measure has faded away and that con-
gress will at an early day redeem the
pledge made by President Mckinley
for reciprocal trade relations with the
Young republico

CRUSHED HIS FOOT.

Young Man Badly Injured Near Reno.
James French, young man who
has been working on the steam shovel
for the railroad company several miles
east of Reno, met with an acciden:
Yesterday morning that will lay him
up for some time, if indeed it does
not cripple him for life. He was en-
gagged in removing some heavy ties
when in some way one of them fell OF
his right foot, crushing that member
in sad manner. He was brought to
Reno and later taken to the railroad
hospital at Sacramento. It is not
known just how badly he was hurt
but he said to the Journal reporter
that all of the bones had been crush
ed. II this is SO it will probably be
necessary to amputate the foot just
above the ankle. He is a young man,
scarcely twenty-five years of age and
has been in the employ of the com.
pany or some time-Journal.

A Very Poor SHOT to be in

Considerable excitement was Gre
ated Tuesday night by the attempted
suicide of young fellow named Ma
rivan Curtis He had been working
for some time on the Hickey ranch
Topaz, and Monday drifted into this
burg. The same afternoon he pur-
chased from A. Harris a suit of clothes
and a box of "A revolver cartridges,
claiming he intended striking out for
Reno the next day. Tuesday he got
into poker game at the Oberon, and
soon lost all he had, which was only
a few dollars. About half past six
in the evening he asked for sheet
of paper, and pencil, and requested
Ed Rice to follow him to his room
After sitting on the bed for few min
utes, Curtis reached under the pillow
and pulled a huge Colts revolver,
which he pointed at Rices head. The
latter grabbed Curtis, and throwing
him on the bed jumped through the
window and out onto the porch. Cur
tbs fired one shot at him and then turn
ed the gun on himself and in rapid
succession fired four shots One made
a scalp wound and another tore away
part of his ear By this time several
had arrived on the scene and he was
taken down stairs and an attempt
made to dress his wounds. But he re-
fused all such treatment, and said he
wanted to die. When it was suggest

TONOPAH
EXCITEMENT
THREE STRIKES MADE IN
48 HOURS
Exceedingly Rich Ore Found in
Company Ground

TONOPAH, New, Dec. 13-Intense
excitement prevails in this place over
the developments during the last
forty-eight hours. Three of the rich
est strikes in the history of the camp
have been made. The Montana-Tono-
pah has opened a splendid vein, which
shows the same character of ore that
has been found in the Fraction and
other recent finds At Gold Mountain
the Coluhan claim has developed SEN
satiOnal ore, which has caused renew
ed activity in that district. Probably
the richest strike yet made has been
uncovered in the Mizpah on the 400
level. big body of ore, two-thirds
gold, has been found. Assays show
1920 ounces in silver.
The latest finds place Tonopah as the
greatest camp now in existence, con-
sidering the short time that the vein
has been uncovered. Outside of the
town the news has been received with
a degree of surprise, as it was hardly
expected that the GOLD values would
run as high. With what has transpired
during the past twenty-four hours,
and the renewed activity that has
gone on since that time, there is nc
telling what will happen in the way
of sensational discoveries
The above telegram, which was re
ceived by the Appeal last evening
is surely good piece of news. Con
siderable of the stock in a number o.
the claims are held in this city, ant
it means that Carson with the minins
town, will receive big share Of thu

A SIMPLE REMEDY.
White Wash a Sure Cure for Insects
on Orchard Trees.

on Orchard Trees.
Experiments were made in this city
last spring with common white wash
as a cure for insect infected trees,
and from what can be observed, the
experiment has proved cure for all
the pests that have bothered number
of orchardistS. At the Moodey place
some OF the finest fruit ever grown in
the town is shown and the apples are
absolutely free from worms. Other
years the fruit was nearly ruined by
insects. At Frank McCulloughs the
same experiment was tried with equal
ly good results.
The white wash is made from CON-
mon lime; considerable salt is added
and small hardfr,. CT sulphur The
trees ara painted lrCm the ground to
the fret ranches. 1t is very simple
to apply and does not make a bad ap.
pearance. 1t is worth the experiment
and those who cultivate a small or
chard, will do well to give the expe
riment a seasons try.
