THE expression "watered stock"
which describes so we'll the ex-
pansion of the stock of company
beyond the value of the property,
originated, it is said, in connection
with Daniel Drew, who was once
the wealthiest and most unique
manipulation on Wall Street. He
had been a drover in his younger
days, and it was said of him that
before selling his cattle in the
market he would first give them
large quantities of salt to make
them thirsty, and then provide
them with all the water they could
drink. In this way their weight
was greatly increased and the pur-
chaser was actually buying water
ed stock"

Towns, as we'll as merchants,
must advertise in order to prosper.
When a village is allowed to go
out of public notice through lack
of energy and enterprise, the de-
cadence of that village has begun,
and nothing but we'll directed adj
vertising, backed by an infusion
of new life, can restore that place
to its original standing. Thus we
find that the town which has the
caunty fair each year, and inn
proves it annually, becomes we'll
known through that medium. The
town, district or county which
builds good roads and then keeps
them in good repair propagates an
interest for itself among all who
visit it.-Pt1nter'S Ink.

WHEN are the people of this
valley going to organize an I'm
provement Club? There are many
things which such a club could
take in hand and carry to a sue
cessful and beneficial termination.
Among these things, W h i c h
are particularly needed, and which
would be of especial benefit, are
good roads and artesian wells.
There is no excuse for our not
having both roads and wells, ex-
cept the complaint of that tired
feeling which seems to have been
prevalent in this valley for some
years past. Let's shake it off.

YERLNG TON, NEVADA.
SATURDAY NOVEMBER ~, 1902.

A FEW weeks ago the United
States Attorney General for Cali
fornia brough suit against the
single trust of the Pacific Coast
on the ground that the trust was
doing an illegitimate business. AS
a result of the suit the trust is all
split up and out of business. A
suit against the salt trust which
was formed some months ago on
this coast has also been decided
against the trust and that great
combination has been dissolved.
The Attorney General is now
closely watching movements which
are being made towards the for
nation of a -four trust on this
coast. Should such a concern get
to dong business beyond the. linn
its of the Sherman law it will, no
doubt, find its cake is all dough.
The Attorney. General is acting
under instructions from the Presi-
dent in these matters, and if the
same action were to be taken in
East to enforce the Sherman law
the trust evil would soon be rene
died.

THE Tonopah district has been
expecting a favorable decision
from the Central Pacific railroad
as to the building of branch line
which would enable the district to
ship its low grade ores. The pres
ent indications are that the district
will be disappointed, as it is re-
ported that Mr.. John Hays Ham
mond (who recently visited the
district has stated "that it is too
early to prophesy whether Tono-
pah is to be a permanent camp
capable of making a branch rail
road paying investment" There
are a number of mines in the
district producing good values, and
if the production is maintained
railroad facilities can only be a
question of time.-Nining Reporter.

Farming is speculation reduced to science
farming is the triumph Of man
over nature.
Few men take more chances in their bust
ness than the farmer. He invests his capital
and applies his labor without any assurance
that his land will yield him paying harvest.
When we take into account the divers fun
gous diseases, and the various insect pests, he
has to contend with-besides an untoward
season or a glutted market-we must allow
that he earns ali he makes, and that if he
achieve prosperity ct ali, tits simply reward
for eternal vigilance and continual painstak-
ing.
Such being the conditions OF a farmers life
under ordinary circumstances, what must be
the troubles OF new settler, who farms on
unknown soil in climate different nom
what he has been used to Whether he has
farmed 1t before, or just stepped out Of city
workshop, he is certain TO make mistakes
He either knows too much or two little.
Now, my experienced friend, don't stand
back and laugh at him and report the poor
fellow errors all over town. Gently give
him atip. Whether he listens or not, YOU
have done your duty; you have acted the part
OF a good Samaritan.

The jury in the case Of John r. Mills
John Bennett, Jacob G. Wilson, and
Wilbur E. Mills for assault upon Be
thuel w. Hall, brought in a verdict of
"guilty' with a recommendation for
mercy. AS the defendants were ordered
to stand up for sentence the terrible
shock was apparent on the face Of each
man.
Mr. Ridgely said:
"May 1t please the court, these are good, sub
stantial citizens OF Milford men Of property
and families. They have never been law
breakers, and they have never been accused
Of wrong doing before"
Chief Justice Lore said There's was a
brutal offeHse, and although the jury recon-
mends mercy upon the part Of the court, we
are compelled, in the interest Of justice, to
pronounce as the sentence the payment Of
the costs OF prosecution and six months i'm
prisonmnet. Because OF the recommenda-
ton OF mercy the court will remit a fine.
All of the men were visibly affected
when placed in the Sherffs charge,
Their attorneys, Henry Ridgley and
Ex-senator Kenney made a vigorous
argument in their behalf, which waf
said to have been the best made in
Kent County for many terms. The
remarks of Mr.. Ridgley almost moved
the jury to tears.
The Attorney General in his ples
said
"Why should we hold poor colored man
or poor white trash, II l may use that term
accountable 10 the Law, and allow well dressed
men and men of education and property t.
go scot free, when there is such an infractioI
OF the law as this, and such a wounding 0

"Ifthere Is to be respect OF persons in tn

Bombay Hook Road.

The Levy Court Of Kent County has deter
mined to complete the work upon the Bonn
bay Hook roads, even at a high cost, In order
to restore inland communication with Wood
land Beach, popular Delaware Bay resort,
which was formerly a mecca for the young
folks and farmers families during the heated
term, but which was practically cut off by a
break in the banks and the subsequent in
undation Of the entire causeway.
The road, thus flooded began to crumble
away, and the Levy Court expended several
thousand dollars and worried with two dredg-
ing companies to get the necessary repairs
The second company to undertake the work
finally threw up the job before winter set in
The commissioners then feared that the work
thus done would all have to be done ovei
again, but on a visit in a body to the place
this week, found that the winter had LEFT tn,
repaired sections good as new. Much graft
! fed by their finding, and concluding tina
there only remained the work Of putting il
sluice gates and filling in. For this remain
ing work Of repair they have advertised 70

The Collins Murder Case.

For three weeks the sensational stories
sent out from Laurel and other points about
the murder Of Mrs Alma Collins, have only
served to mystify the public; but there is
general opinion crystalizing that the hus
band committed the horrible crime, and the
motive for which points TO one source
Mr.. Collins and his frinds have had detec-
tives working on every possible clew, and an
attempt was made to fasten the crime on
half-witted negro named William Pratt Waite
who was lodged in jail: but the people Of
Smyrna were able to prove that he was in
that town at the time the murder was done
A confession was got from him but he after
wards denied all knowledge Of the affair; but
the effort to fasten the crime on the negro
was continued up to this week, and last Fri
day to the supposed demented negro was
taken from Georgetown Jail to the scene OF
the crime, and renewed the search for the $50
which the colored man IN his confession said
he had buried. Collins took an active inter-
est in the proceedings. When the party re.
turned to Georgetown It was stated that the
missing money had not been uneaIthed.
Further investigation at Smyrna appears
to establish an abb for Waite. A number OF
well-known persons there are ready to swear

he was well known.

POLICE NEws.-Last Saturday even
ing was marked by row among the
people that inhabit that part Of North
Milford known as the "tenderloin" dis
trict. The trouble originated between
d Mrs. Hamilton and a woman known
rs Mary Noyse. and the Hamilton
woman threw a pail of chamber slops
over the new clothes of the other wO-
man; who promptly pulled a knife out
,f her stocking and cut her assailant
across the forehead, and followed this
mp with a blow from a stick, which put
her assailant out of business. Then
The next move, of course. was the arrest
Of Mary and arraignment before Esq.
'Truitt, who imposed fine and costs
amounting to $3.50 on her for cutting
The woman. This amount was soon
collected by the other women of her
,lass, and Mary promptly released.
Then Mary countered on Mrs. Hamil-
ton by swearing out warrant for her
arrest, charging her with an assault and
iIsking damages for her clothes. Trial
was postponed until Monday last, when
Esq. Truitt fined Mrs. Hamilton S4 so.
