Judge Mack VS.. the News. ;

Judge Mack has inaugurated pros
ecution for criminal libel against the
publishers of the Carson News. At the
close of a session of the District Court
in Virginia on Friday the Judge, from
the bench, called the attention of Dis
trict Attorney Payne to the fact that
some time ago, in the case of Peters vs..
Jones, the proprietors of the News
published libelous article, defaming
his fair name. He said he was en-
titled to the same protection as any
other citizen, and he called upon Dis
trict Attorney Payne to begin criminal
proceedings against the News.
He further stated, says the Chronicle,
that as soon as the District Attorney
should be ready, he would call ses-
sion of the grand jury. He also said
that if the District Attorney needed
any assistance, he (the Judge) would
provide additional counsel.

THE SHELTER co.
$4,000 Paid Into the Treasul


A harmonious meeting of the stock
holders of the Carson Valley Smelling
q REFINING Co. was held Wednesday
afternoon in Wilder's hall, when the
nrst payment was made on a large
portion of the stock sold to subscrib-
ers. There was large attendance of
stockholders and nearly $4,000 was
paid over to the treasurer on the spot.
The plant has been ordered from
San Francisco and will be ready for
shipment from that city in about two
weeks.
The site selected for the smelling
works is on the sagebrush flat a mile
and half northeast of Rodenbah,s
and about six miles southeast of Gard
nerville. Jesse Allen has been en-
ployed to bore six-inch we'll and will
begin the work Immediately.
Miners and prospectors are engag-
ing teams and starting for the hills to
get out ore. 1t is expected that the
smelter will be ready to start up by
the 1st of April, or the 10Th, at the lat
est, and it will be necessary to have
some rock on the ground. The min.
ers have claimed that there is an
abundance of ore in this vicinity to
keep the smelter running day and
night, and they are preparing to prove
their assertions.
All this is good news and the witch
cry of coming golden returns illumes
the faces of the farmer and the miner
and the average citizen of Gardner
vile is an inch taller than he was a
month ago. All hope that the smelter
will prove big success.

A recent report from WASHINGTON

A recent report from Washington
says that the largest seed distribution
ever made by the government began
on December I'd. Congressman will
distribute 3s, 300, 1884 packages. against
2S,0O0,OOO last year. Besides, the De.
partmenb of Agriculture will send ont
100000 packages of vegetable and
flower seeds to its crop correspondents.
and 100000 packages will be distributed
through the State grange organiza-
lions, experiment stations, weather
bureau observers, etc., will also be sup
Piled. Last year the seeds cost Sl7O.-
600 and weighed 500 tons; this year
they cost S230,000 and will weigh twice
as much, or over 100 tons. Each Con-
gresham gets fifty trees to dispose of.
of different varieties, suited to the Sec
ton he represents. Each Congress-
man distributes 1906 packages OF
seeds, altogether. In rural districts
they are easily disposed of perhaps,
but in urban districts they become a
drug.

The appeal says the State Board of
Assessors adjourned Wednesday with
out making any schedule of valuations
for the coming year. They ascribe as
the cause for their action that the
County Boards of Equalization in sew
eral counties of the State have over
thrown the valuations fixed by the
State Board, and that the changed val
nations have been accepted. They
argue that if this is allowed they can
see no use of any meeting at all, or
wasting time fixing valuations for the
County Boards to overthrow. The
State officials will bring suits to test
the question in the courts. The Dis
trict Attorney of Ormsby county has
been ordered officially to bring suit
against the V. and T. for the difference
in the taxes caused by the County
Board reducing the valuations fixed by
the State Board.

The accident which occurred to the
Sodaville stage was caused by tug
breaking, soaring the horses. AS the
horses started to run passenger on
the front seat grabbed the lines, thus
interfering with the driver and over
turning the stage. The inside of the
vehicle was filled with passengers and
the horses dragged the coach along on
its side for quite distance. One man
had his arm broken and two little girls

Civilization is having it's effect upon
the Indian papoose as we'll as upon the
warrior and medicine man, says The
Delineator for February. In few
years more there will be no more little
full-blood babies, so fast is the ex-
tinction of the red race being accom-
plished. And when the redskin chill
dren are no more, the West will note
the absence of its most stoical little
Americans, the most picturesque of all
babies. In well-illustrated article on
the subject w. R. Draper discusses the
passing of the Indians, of which the
present generation of full-blood babies
will be the last.

The Special Edition

of the Scientific American, devoted
to Transportation of Land and Sea,
cannot fail to attract widespread
interest, both because of the very
handsome manner in which it is
gotten up and on account of the
voluminous amount of information it
that contains. 1t is safe to say that
anyone that reads it carefully
through will find himself thoroughly
posted both as 10 the magnitude
and high quality of our railroads
and shipping. The Scientific
American has its own Characters
tic way of presenting what some
people might call dry statistical
matter in an interesting form, and
the present number is no exception
to the rule. Both artist and Editor
have elaborated to certainly very
good effect, and we believe the
number will meet everywhere with
a hearty reception.

THE BIG BASS DRUM.
Has More Fascination for Small Boys
Than Other Instruments.


When bandsmen at the seaside
have an interval of rest and put down
their instruments, says London Tit
Bits, not one of the latter requires
anything like the amount Of watch
ing and protecting from interference
that the drums do.
And in full band of two score per-
formers you will find that no instru-
ment exercises such fascination
amongst countless little boys and
girls of all classes and kinds as does
the drum. Let the reader as an
amusing experience watch carefully
any pier band, and he will infallibly
see that, whilst the other instrument
talists are left uncrowded, an eager
throng of a dozen or so boys and girls,
in every attitude Of rapt attentive
ness and with ears and eyes and
mouths fully open, presses upon the
man who plays the drum and cymbals
SO that he can hardly perform his
office. However noisy the urchin
five minutes before the sight of a
drummer brings deep, absorbed at
tention and a sort of fascination.
To show how far this extends, it
may be said that there is no bands
man who is ever so universally
spoken to by the Juveniles of a
crowded seaside resort as is the drum
mer, and to him, incredible as it may
seem, all manner of offers of boyish
articles and childish toys, and even
threepenny bits, are extended if he
will only allow the offerers to closely
finger and examine his instrument.
If he will permit the offerer to try
and play, all the better.
81 believe I do more to keep the
children on this pier good and quiet
than all the governesses, nurses and
parents put together" once said the
drummer Of popular band at a great
seaside resort. He pointed to his au-
dience Of the time, and there were
quite a score of healthy small boys
and girls staring at him enraptured.

STRANGE CLASSIC cations.
Mummy Taxed as Fish ana Shirts as
comets in Francs.


Mummy Taxed as Fish ana Shirts as
comets in France.
An Enelishman living in France
recently wrote home for three shirts.
Their value was less than $40, but
he found that he had a duty of one
dollar to pay upon them Thinking
this a great deal, he wrote ito the
authorities at the custom house on
the subject. "The amount is quite
correct" they replied. SHIRTS are
taxed as bonnets, which pay duty
of $50 hindredweight."
Stray Topics records that scien-
fist arrived at Marseilles one day in
1898 with a huge case among his
baggage. He told the customs Off
GERS that it contained a royal Egyp-
tan mummy. The customs man
looked up mummy" in his list, but
could not find it. However, he
could not dream Of passing in SO evil
IDENTIFY valuable an article scot free.
1t occurred to him that there was a
stiff duty on dried fish, So the Pha-
roah was classed as dried fish and
taxed accordingly.
Venison can hardly be called fish
by any stretch of Imagination. Yet
it is fishmongers who sell it in Eng
land, and not butchers. The origin
of this odd classification is that in
old days, when noblemen were too
fine to take any money for their SUI
perAuous venison, they used to send
the bucks to the fshmonger and get
fish in return.
A whole court argued for hours
over the question whether ship was
a dock, while an even more absurd
point of law recently before Mr.. JUS
tice Bigham was whether a barge
could be called a warehouse under
the workmen's compensation act.
It was found that a ship in dry
dock is a dock, but not when float
ing in a wet dock The warehouse
question proved too much for the
court, and time was taken to con-
slider it.
Natural history has its curiosities
in the way Of classification, Who
would imagine, for instance, that the
raven and the pigeon belonged to
the same order of birds?
Cockroaches, again, usually
known as black beetles, are not
beetles at all, but belong to the same
family as the grasshoppers, earwigs
