DEATH OF JACOB WEBER.

Highly Respected Resident Dies Very
Suddenly.
Jacob Weber. one Of Carson's most
highly respected citizens. passed away
yesterday morning about half past
five at his home in the southern part
of this city. While the health of Mr..
Weber has not been the best for a
number of years, his death was not
looked for and the sad news cast a
gloom over the entire community.
Death was probably due to heart
disease. At an early hour yesterday
morning, Mrs. Weber was awakened
by sounds her husband was making, as
il he we're choking. She spoke to him
but he did not answer and she tried
to relieve him. Finding her task un-
availing, she ran to the home of
neighbor and summoned help. When
she returned her husband had passed
to the great beyond.
For Twenty-Five years Jacob Weber
has enjoyed the respect and esteem
Of the people of Carson. A man of
exemplary habits. a true friend and
honest citizen, his death will be keen
ly felt
Mr.. Weber came to this city from
Brooklyn, N. Y, where he was born
So years and nine months ago and
has been engaged in various enter
prises which, be it said, were always
successful. For twenty-five years he
was connected with the Carson Brew
cry, as a partner with the late Jacob
Klein. For the past three years he
has been conducting the Arlington he
tel as partner of John Hill, and many
we're the friends he made on account
of his genial disposition and courteous
treatment
Besides a loving and devoted wife
he leaves to morn his sad taking away

ter, Mrs. O'Brien, of Gold Hill and an
other sister, Mrs. Boysen and a low
ing mother. the two latter of Der
key. The funeral will probably take
place from his late residence on Sun
Day afternoon.

CURVES AND

TON WORK
The Penitentiary Rapidly Fill
ina With Criminals

When the Southern Pacific start
ed to take the kinks out of it's road,
the counties that were to be identified
hailed the advent with delight They
looked forward to the expenditure of
great money in their midst and pro-
badly this has happened. On
the other hand the criminal courts
should be looked over There is not
a county where the work has gone on
in that the courts have not been &C.
cupied with malefactOrs of some
classes. When the counties figure
up the court costs and the cost to the
8tate, it is questionable as to the pro-
hts.
1t has become such a common thing
for q row to occur in one If the con-
stfuction camps, that it only receivse
passing notice, while the robberies
and other minor crimes have filed
columns of the State papers. There
hardly a Gay passes but that some
man who has been sentenced in the
other counties, that was in some way
Connected with the construction camps,
is not brought to the penitentiary.
II the railroad continues to take the
crooks and grades out of the road
it will be necessary to enlarge the
prisons and increase the guard. There
seems to be only one way out of it;

and thus help maintain the trouble
that they have brought us. While

PROBABLE
TRANSFER
SALE OF ADAMS ELECTRIC
PLANT PENDING
New Company to Have 4 Clear
Field

1t was rumored on the street yes
terday that Ex-Governor Adams had
sold his electric light plant to the Flo
riston people, the company that Is
coming into this city, and who have
their sub-station under course of con-
struction.
The Governor. on being asked If the
deal has been consumated, stated that
it was not yet closed, but that it was
pending, with all likelihood of 1t go
ing through. From what little could
be learned, the new company will take
charge Of the old plant and conduct it
in connection with the new apparatus
that is to be installed.
For a time it seemed that Carson
was to be supplied with two light
plants. and it was a foregone conclu-
sion that one or the other would have
to eventually shut up shop, as there
is not room in this city for two enter
prises to conduct that line of business.
The present deal will leave the field
clear for the new people. who are COM
ing in and as they are placing an up
to-date plant here, Carson can be as
sured Of service equal to any on the
coast.
One thing should be remembered,
that it was Governor Adams who had
the tact and nerve to reconstruct the
electric light service in this city. The
former company left the city in dark.
ness and Mr. Adams took hold when
the town did not seem to warrant
the outlay. He inaugurated the incan
descent system and, while it has fail
ed occasionally, yet the service has
been equal to many cities on the coast
To him belongs the credit Of an en-
terprise that this city would have
gone without but for his energy. Com
parsons can be made later, when the
new people take the helm in hand.

A NEEDED
INDUSTRY
! FLOUR MILL WOULD BE
PROFITABLE
Many Tons Used in This City
Monthly

Some time ago Mr., Beck, of Reno,
informed the Appeal that he intended
moving his -four mill in Douglas coun-
ty to this city. This fact was publish
ed, but no move has been made to
erect the plant and the important bu-
siness matter seems to have dropped
out of sight.
In looking over the field and a
short talk with the merchants OF this
city, it seems that q -four mill sit
uated here would be a paying invest
ment and big thing for the city. In
the first place most Of the wheat
that Is ground up the valley and in
Reno has to be shipped in. In the
case of the valley mill, the grain is
shipped to this point and then hauled
over twenty miles and then hauled
back again in the form Of -four and
other products. This seems a round
about course, but is the one that is
taken.
In this city alone. according to a
rough estimate furnished by a town
merchant, between twenty-five and
thirty tons of -four are consumed ev-
cry month in this city. AS the ne
cessity is selling at 50 per hundred,
it is readily figured that Carson pays
out over $500 per month for it's
bread product This item should stay
at home, as it would furnish employ
ment for additional men and lead to
other manufactured articles. The
! sale of -four is not the only item from
a mill. Bran and middlings bring q
good price and tons are disposed Of
every month in this city-all imported
There is no reason why Carson can
not keep mill running and there is
a good field In every direction for the
i. miller to work on. We are closer te
the railroad than a number of mills
that are working and the freight witt
the teaming deducted, will maintain
a plant here at less figures than IL
some other quarters. If Carson eve
wants to take on new life, it mus
take on new business, and if Mr.. Becl
has decided to cut this town of tn
list, it will be a good investment 70
some enterprising man to start mil
without delay.

PERILS OF ALASKAN TRAVEL
Letter Carriers Heroism
In an Interesting Letter.

Letter Carriers Heroism Described
In an Interesting Letter.
A letter telling of the perils and
hardships of travel in Alaska has been
received by Mr.. Henry Rechtin, dis
bursting clerk of the department Of
Justice, from A. r. Heilig, who is the
clerk of the United States district
court for the district Of Alaska, says
the Washington Post. Mr.. Heilig is
stationed at Eagle, Alaska. The COM
munication was dated at hat place
Nov. 80, 1901. The letter 1nclosed the
voucher for MI. Heilig's salary for the
month Of November.
81 received the check for my salary
for August on Nov. 15," Mr.. Heilig
said. 'This is the last received, by
reason Of the slowness of the mails on
account Of the difficulty in travel this
time of the year. The mail carrier
going down stream was fastened in
the ice and obliged to float with it ten
miles beyond his destination before he
could be extricated from his danger
GUS position by men on shore. The
carrier coming up stream broke
through the ice and sank twice, but
managed to roll over on a cake of ice
on coming up the second time and
scrambled to shore. The mails, being
on a dog sled, were not injured, as
when he felt the ice breaking under

but finding this unayailing and being
in imminent danger of losing his feet
or legs he ran back to the river, broke
a hole in the ice and stood in the wa

turned.
"When he arrived at Eagle, all his
toes were black as coal and both feet

and in two days we heard by wire Of

deal OF good. I was SO well satisfied
that T purchased another bottle and fol-

A large per cent Of those who are
afflicted with this epidemic, instead of
getting well as they ought to, will have
chronic catarrh as the result. This is
almost invariably the case unless Pc
runa Is taken as 500 as possible after
the grip begins.
Every one who has observed the effect
of Peruna during the last three epidem-
les Of la grippe positively knows that
this remedy will cure it permanently.
The fact is, however, that a great null
titude of people will not take Peruna,
and a foundation for chronic catarrh
will be laid.
Even in cases where chronic catarrh
has affected the lungs, and the early
stages Of catarrhal consumption ave
been developed, Peruna can be relied
upon as a prompt and lasting cure. La
