LlncoLK's MODEST SENATOR.

Senate Bill No. H.-To Provide Revenue
for the State.-This bill changes the law COM
polling the Assessors to print an assessment
roll enumerating taxable property; and leaves
the law Is il was prior TO the act Of 1901. Bill
passed all.-From report of Legislative pro-
ceedings.
This bill should be defeated as it re-
peals the clause requiring Assessors to
publish q statement enumerating all
properties assessed. That was a wise
clause, as, to a certain extent, ii prevented
the concealment of property, and helped
to prevent tax lodging.
The present law provides that the As
SCISSOR in his published statements shall
enumerate each taxpayers property as
follows:

provements $3.50, work horses 500, saddle
horses $50, mich cows 800, stock horses 1925,

Senator Prudential wants less pub
licity given to the Assessors published
statements, and would prefer that the
statements should read accordingly to
the old law, that form of statement read.

Rlko Independent.
A scheme is being hatched in Carson
to get a bill through the Legislature ex-
tending the terms Of the present county
officers to 1906, two years longer than
they were elected for and to make the
terms of all the county officers four years
after that date. The principal argument
urged in favor OF the scheme is that most
OF the States elect their county officers
every four years and therefore Nevada
should do the same. There may be no
great objection to making the terms of
county officers four years. but no Legisla-
ture should extend or curtail the term for
which any officer was elected. Any at
tempt in that direction should be sat
upon by the Legislature.

Regarding the appointment Of DR.. W.
81. Patterson as Superintendent of the
Asylum for the Insane. the Nevada
State Journal has offered its columns
to the Board of Commissioners, and to
those opposed to the appointment, for
the full discussion of its action, reserv-
ing to itself the right to approve OF
condemn such action, as its judgment
and the facts in the case seem to justify.
This statement is made because the
SENTINEL, before receiving the Journal
containing the above, had stated in an
article on the first page of this issue
that the Journal was silent on the SUBJ

LEGATION clause of the existing bill repealed;
G. d. Van Duzer and Sam 2. Davis ad-
dressed a large audience here last even
ing. Mr.. Van Duzer's reply to Earring
toms remarks on Mr.. Newlands were dig
nifed, and made Newlands many votes.
Just at the close Of Mr.. Van Duzer's
remarks the electric lights in the hall
were turned out. There was great con-
fusion, but Mr.. Davis took the platform
and announced that he would speak as
advertised, lights or no lights. The audi
ence remained in their seats while Mr..
Davis continued speaking until coal oil
lights were provided.
The speaker made a most startling ex-
pose OF the way the DeLamar and April
Fool Companies had swindled the State
and county out of over half a million
dollars in taxes, and he presented an
array Of figures to ~substsntiate his state
ment. He charged Assessors Freuden'
thai and District Attorney McNamee
with having allowed these companies tc
perpetrate a swindle and throw the
county into debt.
His talk was received with hearty dem.
~onstrations by the audience and is the
talk Of the town today. Many republi'
cans admit the truth of his statements
and say they are glad the whole thing
has been made public. Lincoln county
is now safely Fusion for the entire ticket

The Act introduced in the Legislature
by Senator Prudential to amend an
Act requiring Foreign Corporations
doing business in the State of Nevada
to publish annual statements, approved

the publication should be in a daily OF
weekly newspaper published in the
county in which such business is CON
Quoted. The published statement is
required to be fled with each Assessor
of the State. and a fine or penalty OF
500 is imposed for each month the

sort of keynote for the Liberal par
ty during the coming campaign. The
weightiest part of the speech was
that which treated of the relation be-
tween Norway and Sweden. A sep
arate consular service for Norway,
the speaker said, is not merely a
party issue, it is matter which
concerns the whole country, and for
that reason it should not be dropped.
Many are in favor of waving the
foreign service question for the timo
being. It is true that the next storth-
ing will be kept busy settling the
consular service question, and agi-
tation for a separate foreign service
is all that can be expected during
the coming storthing period. Never
theless the Liberal party shall ex-
press it's views on this subject. The
people, through this party, should
frankly state it's wishes, and they
will be more favorably considered by
the Swedes. To the Swedes the
speaker would say: meet our de-
mands with fair-mindedness and q
sense of justice, and you shall always
find Norwegians who are willing to
stand by Sweden in the hour of dan
ger. For the sake of the future OF
Norway and Sweden it is. necessary

While members of the Swedish and
the Norwegian cabinet, in the capa-
city Of a joint committee, were de-
vising plans for establishing a sep
arate consular service for Norway,
the Norwegian sorthing passed re-
solution to the effect that the con.
su1ar service question should be set
tied on it's own merits and without
reference to the diplomatic service.
Now motion has been made in the
Swedish riksdag, that the settlement
must cover the whole union contro-
versey, or, in other words, that the
consular service question and the
foreign service question must be set
tied at once. If the riksdag passes
this motion the two countries will
be at loggerheads as much as ever.
But it is not likely that this body
will run such a dangerous risk.

The Scandinavian church in Berlin
has been sailing through rough wa
ters of late, the difficulty is due to
a very serious friction between the
Swedes on one side and the Norwe-
gians and the Danes on the other.
The Swedes have already organized
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1903-05-20

a church OF their own, and the
Danes and the Norwegians are left
in the old organization. The latter
are more numerous, but the former
are supported by the embassy of
Sweden and Norway at the German
capital. Even at this distance it is
evident that there is more politics
than religion in the trouble. The
chances are that this friction will
start genuine ''boom' in both
churches.

of many kingdoms, for series of

stronger than Bech-Olsen. The audi

the victor did not resort to any
tricks they had to submit to it.

Ling on the Right Side.

When a patient complains Of bad
taste in his mouth every morning on
waking up, says a physician, the first
question ask him is as to the position
he assumes when going to sleep. An
immense number of people sleep on the
left side, and this is the most common
cause Of the unpleasant taste which is
generally attributed to dyspepsia. If a
meal had been taken within two or
three hours Of going to bed, to sleep on
the left side is to give the stomach a
task which it is difficult in the extreme
to perform. The student of anatomy
knows that all food enters and leaves
the stomach on the right side, and
hence sleeping on the left side soon
after eating involves a sort Of pump
ing operation which is anything but
conducive to sound repose. The action
of the heart is also interfered with
considerably, and the lungs are unduly
compressed. 1t is probable that lying
on the back is the most natural posi-
ton, but few men can rest easily so,
and hence it is best to cultivate the
habit of sleeping on the right side. 1t
is very largely a matter Of habit, and
the sooner it is acquired the better.
