ROBERTS WAS A BAD ONE.


Fred Reidt, alias Fred Roberts, one
brought in from Winnemucca yester-
day, operated in this city along in
July last, for a very brief period, says
yesterdays Carson Mes.
He passed under the name of Rob
erts in this city, and was profess
sional beggar. He had great sores
upon his arms and limbs with one
apparently about to come out on his
neck. These he claimed were due to
scrofula and he was seeking assist
ance to enable him to go to a celebrat-
ed sanitarium for treatment.
Deputy Sheriff Knoblock, however,
tagged him early in his career in this
city and took him to Jail. Knoblock
was of the opinion that couple or
days confinement would cure him Of
his alleged scrofula, believing that
the sores were produced simply by the
use of acids, or other poisonous drugs.
AS the fellow had as yet received
no money no crime could be lodged
against him, and he was allowed to
go with the understanding that he
leave the city at once, which he did.
The correctness Of Doctor Knob
locks diagnosis has since been dem
onstrated as the wounds healed in a
very few days after his confinement In
the Jail in Winnemucca. 1t is not
likely that Providence will frown up
on the execution of a man with such
criminal instincts as Roberts pos
sesses.

Upton and the Gourd,


At the dinner given Sir Thomas Lip
ton at Chicago a joke was told by
James Hamilton Lewis illustra ting the
disdain in which colored people down
South held Sir Thomas efforts to win
the cup The ex-congressman said:
Upon my return from Europe last
month l visited my home in Georgia,
where there is an old family servant
who now lives IN the country. This
old woman cultivates gOurd vines
along the water banks, which are sold
to be used as cups and dippers. She
had been hearing the talk all the sum-
mer around her about Sir Thomas
boat trying for the cup, and failing
often, so she said: What dat Irishman
gwine ter do now? Say, eff he want
ter git sumpin' why doan he Civ up
tryin' fer er cup an fetch his boat
down here on de creek and run it agin
er goad vine, an eff dat boat Ell his kin
git ter de end oh de goad vine fo' de
goad gifts ripe an drops outen his
reach, den Civ him de goad. In dat
way he got some chance in dis country
ter git some sort err cup"
Sir Thomas enjoyed the joke hugely,
but regarded the reflection upon the
speed of the Shamrock from the 'cul-
lud'' folks as the worst he had heard.

ne Stream.
There's a stream | know, with babblinS
flow,
That winds the woods away,
Where the leaves are red in their au.
tumn bed,
And skies reflect their gray.
And it sings along with it's ripping song,
While echoes answer back:
By the serried field and the harvest yield
All snug in crib and stack!
In the sunlight bright, or the moons soft
light,
1t laughs in rhythmic fun
Would that man could see such philos-
ophy
In work that must be done.
For there's woodland bright and the moon
by night
IN life, for everyone
There's but small alloy would the heart
enjoy
The starlight and the sun.

Where the waving fields of corn
Skirt the roadside sere and dun,
Where the river winds along
In a rhythmic, droning run,
Where the listless, floating hawk
In the azure blue is high,
Where the clouds are phantomS white
On the winds that buoy them by
There my heart is free
AS a heart can be,
And my soul is in tune with Thee!
Where the soughing winds are crisp
In the autumn time of red,
Where the apples wild are tossed
To their matted, grassy bed,
Where the limpid waters sweet
Lie asleep upon the sand,
Where the leaves float to and fro
To their haven on the strand
There my heart is free
AS a heart can be,
And my soul is in tune with Thee
Where the people live content
With the joys of humber birth,
Where the plowman and his sons
Are the kings of a fertile earth,
Where the sympathetic hand
Is the clasp of brotherhood,
Where a mans a man for that,
And the heart is understood
There my heart is free
AS a heart can be.
Ard my soul is in tune with Thee.

of the medicine that saves even at

There are some places about town
that are badly in need of cleaning
up. Our city fathers should take
the matter in hand, before sickness
results from such unsanitary con-
ditions. The city ordinances against
keeping pigs in town should be
strictly enforced during the hot
weather. A sanitary inspector
should be appointed to make a
house to house inspection, and see
that no filthy stock pens, or closets,
or other unsanitary conditions are
permitted. The late rains have
caused bad odors to arise in various
parts of town, and in some alleys
where trash has accumulated and
water is standing from the rain,
the stencil is both unpleasant and
unhealthful. Vigorous measures
should be taken at once, to prevent
sickness in the town.
