Should Organize a Band.

The Fourth of July will soon be here
and Gardnerville should have a band.
Everything necessary to produce one
can be brought together on short
notice. We have. the talent, the ex-
perience, the instruments and the
leader right here. Why not have q
band? Nothing can prevent except a
lack of energy or interest in our home
town. Why send away for music on
the Fourth and pay an enormous price
for the same when, with few weeks
practice, we could bring home talent
band together that would make Carson
Valley fairly ring echoing the har-
monious strains of marching Through
Georgia. on that glorious day?
There is nothing more beneficiary to
the interests of town than a well
organized band. Each citizen should
do all in his power to start the ball
rolling and then do all in his power to
keep it rolling. Talk the matter over
among your friends and try to help a
good thing along. Let us have band
on the Fourth fits only bass drum
and a jewsharp!

Officer Meflley tool. him into custody
and conducted him to the police sta

Cobb drank eagerly, after which he
told his story.
"My name is Frank Cobb, and | am
on my way from Mono county to San

One of the men said he would go with

A New Sermon.

Some morning before breakfast when
! have time = intend to revise the
Bible. 1t is high time sobebody trans
lated that book into twentieth century
vernacular. To give you an idea how
it will read have written a new SER
mon, though am not a preacher nor
the son of a prophet. Here it is:
Woe unto the poor in spirit, for they
shall be crowded into the ditch and
spit upon.
Woe unto the meek, for they shall
be taken for hay seeds, for suckers,
and asked to buy gold bricks, and bet
on shell games.
Blessed are they which do banker to
be humbugged, for they shall not
banker long.
Blessed are the peacemakers, but
their occupation is a little tough on
lawyers.
Whosoever shall say unto his brother
thou fool, shall be called another.
Agree with thine adversary quickly,
provided you are sure you cannot lick
him.
Let your conversation be yea, yea
and nay, nay, for whatsoever CAB is
more than these cometh through your
hat
Whosoever shall smite thee on thy
right cheek, paste him one on the left
for luck and make the smiter feel like
as if he had been struck by thunder
bolt.
And if any man will sue thee at the
law and take away thy cloak, give a
lawyer thy coat and vest to appeal the
case to the court of last resort.
And whatsoever shall compel thee to
go mile, go with him to the lookup,
for he is policeman.
Give to him that asketh of thee, but
make him saw wood for his breakfast,
and from him that would borrow OF
thee, take a Judgment note and cut
throat mortgage for security.
You have heard it said thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself, but l say
unto you that you cannot do it.
Love your enemies if you can. Bless
them. that curse you-if you feel like
it-but don't act the hypocrite.
Take heed that you do your almf
before men, for then your name and
donation will be printed in the news
papers.
But when we rob the widows and or
phans, let not your left hand know
what your right doeth.
Lay up for yourself, your children
and their lawyers, treasures on earth
Invest in gilt-edged securities and keel
your cash in a burglar proof safe ant
lose no sleep on account of rust, moth
and thieves.
But if we take no thought for you
life, what we shall eat, nor what "
shall drink, nor yet for your body
what we shall put on, ye shall go hung
ry, thirsty and naked.
If you take no thought of tomorrow
be not deceived, ye shall be arrested
for vagrancy and sent to the rock pile
If there is a mote in thy brothers
eye, let it alone. If you can stand The
beam in thine own eye, he ought t.
endure the mote.
Verify, l say unto you, if man stea
a chicken, he shall be branded as {
thief and sent to Jail, but if he steals {
bank or railroad, he shall be called q
great finapcier, and sent to Congress

BURGLAR PROOF CARS.
Paymaster of Pennsylvania Will
Travel in Bullet-Proof Box.

Burglar proof pay cars is an innovation
in railway equipment soon to be intro
duced by the PENNSYLVANIA system. The
company is now building at the Colu aF bus
paymaster. which is said to be as near
burglar proof as it is possible to make
them. and if the car proves successful 1t
will be adopted as the standard style on
the PENNSYLVANIA system. Frequently
thousands of dollars are carried on these
cars and while there are few. If any in
stances where highwaymen attempted to
hold up the pay car the officials are anx-
ious to replace the present style with cars
of more substantial build. The general
use of steel in the construction Of railway
cars and the various other devices made
so prominent in late years has made it
possible for the railroad company to
greatly improve the pay car IN the matter
of safety.
The first burglar proof car will be turned
out of the Panhandle shops at CoIum1ons
especially designed by the officials of the
road and provides necessary precaution
over the road on pay day The car is COW

ADVANCE TOURIST RATES.
Pullman Company to Charge More
for It's Berths.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Tourist sleeping
car rates from Chicago to the Pacific
coast are to be advanced December 1.
The Pullman company has issued cir
cular to this effect, in which it is stated
that on and after the date named the
rate in tourist cars will be 81 instead of
IS. New schedules showing the advance
were issued today.
While the Pullman company itself
gives no reason for it's action, passenger
officials say that the advance is occa-
stoned by the increase in the cost Of
running the cars. Wages have been ad-
vanced by the Pullman company and
the cost of building and equipping the
s1eepers has greatly increased during
the last three years.
Another reason for the increase, ac
cording to passenger men, is the excel
lence of the tourist car service. 1t al
most equals the service of the standard
cars, while the fare has been less than
one-half of that charged for acconmo-
dation in the standard sleepers. 1t is
now the purpose of the Pullman COM
pany to readjust the tourist car rate
of fare so that it will equal half the
tariff charged for the standard sleeper
1t is not known what action the Great
Northern will take regarding the adj
vance. That line owns its own sleeping
car equipment and is not subject to
rules of the Pullman company How
ever, it is likely that the Great North
ern's tourist car fare will also be in
creased

ONLY ONE STOP.
Wabash Will Run Fast Train Be-
tween Chicago and St. Louis.

The Wabash railroad is going to make
bid for the lions share of the world S
fair traffic between Chicago and ST. Louis
by inaugurating the fastest long distance
train in the United States. Official an
nouncement was made yesterday that dur
ing the fair the company would operate
trainl between the cities with only sin
gle stop at Decatur. 1t was not stated
what time would be made, but it was not
denied that the schedule would call for the
run of 2S6 miles in five hours and thirty
minutes including the stop, or at the rate
of SIG miles per hour.
The Wabash has been making careful
preparation for the accomplishment of
this feat, and trial runs have demonstrate
ed the ability TO make the time. The fair
trains will be drawn by twelve huge en-
gines, each weighing 10000 pounds, or $50
tons.
The first of the new engines, whose total
cost was S1S0000, was put in service yester-
day on the daylight Chicago-St. Louis
run. The machines have SO inch drive
wheels sustaining weight of $1,000 pounds
and a trailing wheel sustaining a weight
of 80, 900 pounds. The tank holds 5000 gall
Ions of water and twelve tons of coal.
The manufacturers of the locomotives
have guaranteed their ability to make
eighty miles hour when hauling ten
car trains and trial trips have demonstrate
ed they can meet the guarantee.
