TOWN MOVED ON FLATBOATS.

The coming week will witness the
removal bodily on aatboats of the
town of Benton, Dawson county, to a
point on the Union Pacific railway
three miles below it's present site. The
project was warmly debated and final
ly overwhelmingly carried at a town
meeting. Benton has lived in hopes
that spur OF the Union Pacific would
eventually be run to it ever since it
was established as an Indian trading
post. It has got along fairly well
without the railroad. Last week, how
ever, it was announced that the Union
Pacific had decided to establish a sta
ton three miles south Of Benton. This
news was interpreted to mean ruin to
Benton. Something had to be done
and as the railroad wouldn't come to
the town the town decided to go to
the railroad. Benton will be in on the
ground floor at Darr, the new station.
The frame buildings of the town will
be raised from their foundations.
wheeled down to the river and there
put on the flatboats that will carry
them to Darr. The railroad people
will supply free lots to Benton at
Darr The only point IN dispute just
now is what shall the new town be
named? The Union Pacific has called
it Darr in honor Of a delegate to the
republican national convention Of
1900, but the people Of Benton sug-
sested as compromise Darben.-Ne-

A Good MANAGER

1t was admitted that the woman was
truly a remarkable one. She succeed
ed better than would seem to be pos
sible on her husbands income.
But how does she do it?" asked the
ignorant one.
shes such a good manager" an
SWered the knowing one.
KNOWS how to make little go a
long way, [ suppose?"
Well, not exactly that, but she
knows how to make him provide prop
erly for the family. You see she
spends the money he gives her for
luXuries, so he just has to provide the
necessities in addition. There's al
ways something needed, and she's
broke, SO that forces him to scrape up
some more cash. In that way they
manage to live really well. Oh, she's
wonderful manager. Not one in a
thousand could do as we'll on the in
come as she has done"
And the RESULT"
ooh, believe something has been
said about his being forced into bank
ruptcy next week, but she managed
splendidly, don't you Think"

Lady Kildonan, who glanced from the
one to the other with a quick percep-
ton of the fact that they had been
talking about her.
We'll, what have you been con-
spring about SO long," she asked as
her husband patted her affectionately
on the shoulder you have been
talking about me, I'm certain, and
will find out what the conspiracy is,
or perish in the attempt. In the mean
time [ have come to ask YOU" and she
turned to DR.. Armathwaite,' if you
will go on to DR. Peele's now with Ned
Crosmont, who has his gig at the
door to go to Branksome, or whether
you will wait an hour till these people
are gone, when l shall be able to drive
you over myself"
Lord Kildonan laughed good-hu-
moredley.
"See, Dr. Armathwaite, you are
more honored than l. Her imperial
majesty would not condescend to drive
me to Plasmere this afternoon"
We'll, 1 wasn't going that way"
she said with a pretty pout.
1T is very good indeed of you,
Lady Kildonan," said Armathwaite.
But l am sorry to say 1 shall not be
able to avail myself of your kind offer
to drive me, as [ really must not de
lay one moment longer. I will ask
Mr.. Cresmont if he will take me-
He added his warm thanks to both,
as they accompanied him to the hall,
where Ned Crosmont was getting
ready to start. The strongest impress
sion left upon Armathwaites mind, as,
after shaking hands with both host
and hostess and receiving their assur-
ances that they expected to see him
again before long, he got into the gig
| beside the agent, was that Lady Kill
DOMAIN was greatly annoyed by his
choosing to go now rather than wait
to be driven by her, and that she
would take some wicked little femin-
inc vengeance upon him for thwarting
her hospitable caprice, if ever she
should have the opportunity.

Take the Grape Cure.

The grape crue is mentioned from
time to time and this is it's plan: TO
begin with two pounds of grapes a
day are sufficient, afterward the
quantity may be gradually increased.
They should never be eaten very
cold and the seeds and skins should

New York Sun. The best fruit is not
always the largest and thin-skinned
grapes are to be preferred to thick
skinned ones. The largest quantity
of the fruit should be consumed be
fore breakfast, the remainder before
lucheon and dinner. During the grape
cure salads, cheese and such in
digesuDle foods should be avoided.

A BIG WATER SUIT;
Farmnrs in This City Securing
Attorneys

That the lawsuit between the
ranchers of the upper Walker river
and Miller & Lux, the big property
holders in Mason valley, will be a
big nut to crack there seems to be no
doubt. Already the preliminary steps
in the case are being taken and when
the case is called, which is billed for
next month in this city, there will be
heavy representation from the two
valleys. Yesterday Messrs Rodgers,
Rivers, Turner, Mann, O'Bagn, Frank
Simpson and Jake Coin arrived in
this city to complete arrangements
with attorneys to fight the case to a
finish. The case will probably occupy
the next twenty years before final
decision and division of the water is
made The farmers from the head
waters know that they are up against
a hard game. Miller & Lux are rated
as millionaires and they will have
plenty of coin at their disposal to
fight the ISSUE The farmers on the
other hand are, as rule in ordinary
circumstances. and the expense of the
big suit will about be their finish.
There is another feature to the
suit that does not appeal to the farm
ers of Smith Valley. Tom Hickey is
also named as respondent and he will
make a fight Should Tom WIN he
will about drain the river above the
ranches. Should Miller & Lux wiz
the suit they will demand about al
the water in Walker river. The farm
ers that are tangled up in the suit
believe that they are between the dew
il and the deep sea, and from a dis
interested point of view it would ap
pear that this is about the case

A broad guage railroad from Soda
Vile to. Tnnopah end q third rail
from Mound House to the former
point is now a strong possibility. The
Southern Pacific company has pre-
scented a proposition to the people of
Tonopah that will result in this rail-
road construction as soon as the re-
quirements are met. Tonopah is ask
ed to put up a bonus of $3.50, 1000. The
improvements contemplated will cost
four times that amount.
If the proposition meets with the
approval of the people of Tonopah the
road will be completed within the
next six months.-Journal
This looks all right ON paper, and
while the Appeal would like to see a
railroad built into Tonopah, it hopes
that the people of that section will
have the good sense to tell the rail-
road to come in as fast as they know
how, but for the bonus of a quarter of
million the railroad should be told
to go to. The railroad will couo i.

was raised so Qu.>.- that even the
