How the Facts Ina VIII Forgery
Case Were Hr0axht Out.
In his capacity as judge Lord Brannps
ton always insisted on the imperative
demand that every case should be In
vestigated, ,in its rninutest details Up
on small points the great issile of q
case depends. AS exemplifying this:
Lord Brampton cites curious case
that came before him ON the western
circuit:
"A solicitor was charged with forgr
ing the will Of a lady, which devised
to him considerable amount OF her
property, but as the case proceeded 1t
became clear to me that the will WIS
signed after the lady'a death and then
with a dry pen held in the hand of the
deceased by the accused himself while
be guided IL over a signature which he
had craftily forged. A, woman was
present When this was. done, and as
she had aItested the execution Of the
will she was necessary witness for
the prisoner, and In examination in
chief she was very clear Indeed that it
WAS " LIE AduO VI tuC uCCcdSGu tAatL Y
the will was signed and that she her.
self had seen the deceased sign. lit.
Suspicion only existed as to what the
real facts We're until this woman went
into the box. and then q scene highly
dramatic occurred in her cross exami,
nation. After getting an admission
that the will was signed IN the bed,
with the prisoner near by. the woman
Was asked
+" Did he put the pen into her hand?'
sssYes.''
sand assist her while she esigned the
will?'
Yes
"'How did he assist her?'
By raising her in the bed and sup
porting her when he had raised her.
Did he guide her hand?'
No.
Did he touch her hand at all?'
81 think he did just touch her hand
When he did touch her hand was
she dead?'
AT this last question the woman
turned terribly pale, was seen to fal-
ter and fell iii a swoon on the ground
and SO revealed the truth. which she
had come to deny. - London Mail.

RICE TABLE.
The Principal Dish at the Midday
Meal In Jaws.

( =
Meal In Java.
In Java, as in most really warm coun-
tries, it is customary to rise early and
to take a cup of tea, or coffee. together
with a biscuit and some fruit, i1nme-
diateiy on leaving ones bed. This is
followed by a more substantial break
fast, but the first really serious meal is
served at half past 12 O'Clock and Is
the equivalent of the French .'dejeuner
la fourchette" or the Anglo Indian
tiffin. This meal is called rice table
.'rystafel from the principal dish, a
very elaborate curry. in the preparation
of which the Malay cooks are especial
4 iy skillful.
The peculiarly OF the rice table con
sists in the number and variety OF
dishes presented. From these dishes
the guest has to select the materials
which, together with the rice upon the
soup plate before him, are to consti-s
tute his curry. 1t Is also as well to
know beforehand that one Is not re-
quired to lunch solely on curry, but
that the rice table Is succeeded by
courses OF ordinary luncheon dishes
1t is ii case. therefore, Of "embarras de
richesses.'' M
The second danger is that of making
up ones curry mot wisely, but too
well, and leaving neither appetite
I nor capacity for the beefsteak sor for
any Of the other solid dishes which
subsequently appear and which under
j these circumstances only produce a
feeling Of mingled horror and conster-
nation. 1t is then that one suddenly
realizes that the rice table is merely as
sort OF tremendous "hors d'oeuvre. I, .s
There are two dangers.t to be avoided.
In the first place, iit is quite possible
/ In spite Of the number Of the dishes
! i presented sing1y to say nothing or an
1 octagonai tray containing d separate
| chutney In each of its nine compart-
/ ments, to get no lunch ut all. for moth

Nevada Sheep Must Go East.

''The tremendous number of sheep
that are being raised in Nevada and
adjoining states convinces me that the
shippers will soon have to begin ship
ment to the eastern markets. said
King johnson, one of the largest buy
ers on the Pacific coast, today. "Un-
less this is done the raisers will suffer
from fall in prices, which is already
being slightly felt on account of the
great quantity of sheep that are being
sent to San Francisco. The markets
are liable to become glutted, for
under present conditions practically
all the sheep raised in this section are
sent below.
''Prices this year are not quite as
good as last said Mr.. Johnson, "but
there are more sheep than in 1903.
Lambs bring from s. TO $3.50 and
wethers are worth from S2.75 to $500"
Mr.. Johnson is here to take care OF
$50, 900 purchase that he made from
p. L. Flanagan recently. Most of the
sheep will be loaded al Smoke Creek

LAND NOW READY.
FOR SETTLEMENT.
Government Approves Work Done by Engineer
Taylor and Vast Area Will be Thrown Open
to hOmeseekerS in Few DAYS.

Engineer l.. II. Taylor of the United
states Reclamation Service in charge
of the Nevada project has received the
official maps of thirty thousand acres
of land which will be ready for irriga-
ton by April /, 1905. The land will
probably be Thrown open to home
seekers this week, and at the most not
later than one week from that date.
The instructions showing in what
manner the land may be taken up have
been mailed from Washington, it is
understood, and are expected here at
almost any day. When these arrive
Mr.. Taylor will place the maps on file
in the land Office at Carson and the
immense area will then be ready for
settlement.
The maps were completed some
months ago and were sent to Washing
ton, where they were thoroughly ex-
amined and their return yesterday
shows that Mr.. Taylor's work has been
approved. The maps show every acre
of land that will be placed under irri-

What Young Men Could Do.

II is a crime to-day to be young; at
,.ast that seems To be the opinion of
come We would like to see the
native Sons of Nevada grow and
aourish so that when such charges are
made. they will be in a position to say
10 the old automatic machines: "You
have served your days of usefulness;
,,onr ways and ideas are antiquated;
s,ep to one side, please, and give place
10 modern men of progress and Neva-
ada youths of energy" We believe the
Native Sons should pry into politics,
we believe that if the order was estab-
lished throughout the State, and the
Native Sons did pry into politics in
countv and State affairs, there would
he less corruption, less bartering,
esver Influenced officers, fewer old
heads at political trickery, more states
saashed. more honor bright in the
land of the sage than at present ex-
ists. and our State would not be dub
he'd a "rotten borough. - Exchange

Capital for Mason Valley.

II appears evident that Charles NJ.
Schwab is not yet through making
mining investments in this state
where he has within the past year ac-
quired large and valuable holdings.
Last evening there arrived II. Z.
Miller, owner of the Bluestone, the
largest copper proposition in Nevada.
The mines are situated in Mason val
ley, near Yerington. Accompanying
him is j. +. Rockwell who is assoei-
ated with Mr.. Schwab in the owner
ship of the famous Minnie Moore mine
in Idaho.
They are going out to look at the
property, which has been idle for some
time, owing to the low price of copper
and the limited reduction facilities at
the mine. Should Messrs. Schwab
and Rockwell, purchase this group it
would doubtless mean the installation
of large smelters and the employment
of large force of miners, something
that Mason Valley people have been
fondly hoping for these many years. -

Hint for the Valley.

California company has been
formed for placing alfalfa meal on the
Pacific Coast market. The product is
obtained simply by grinding alfalfa
plants to a flour. The meal posses
ses many advantages. 1t contains
less water and hence saves money in
transportation and the leaves are all
there. A bucketfull of the meal, mois-
tened slightly, is equal to big feed OF
alfalfa hay. 1t is a splendid food for
chickens and hogs.
Alfalfa is the ideal food for stock
and fowls, containing all the chem
icals necessary to sustain health.
Here is hint for the Carson Valley
alfalfa growers who turn out some of
the best of this popular food plant
grown in the world News.

course of the different laterals is
shown while the allotments are also
made.
The subdivisions it is understood.
are made according to the condition of
the land, the richness of the soil and
the work that will be required to place
it under cultivation. II is divided in
to 10, 80, 100 and l60 acre plots.
Already considerable land has been
filed upon in that section of the State,
the settlers claiming 100 acres under
the old homestead law Under the ir-
rigation act they will be compelled to
take their chances with the balance
and should the ground upon which
they have filed be divided into less
than 100 acres they will be compelled
to forfeit the remainder.
Now that. the official maps have
been approved and returned it will
not be long before the long expected
rush begins and its beginning will

Horses for the Army.

'We will take about 100 horses out

said Hy West, a government horse
buyer, who has been here from San
Francisco purchasing horses. As a
usual rule Nevada has not as high a
grade OF animals as the states farther
east have, but | have been fortunate
in rounding up pretty fair bunch of
them this time. | now have about
80 on hand. About the first of the
month the government inspectors will
be here to look them over and then
they will be shipped below. The
horses will be used in the artillery and
in the cavalry Gazette.
