FROM what we can learn of IL

FROM what we can learn of the
personnel of the incoming Ne
vada Legislature it will be one of
the best bodies that has trans
acted business in Carson for many
years. Heretofore the Legisla-
lures have been composed of quite
a few members who deemed it an
important matter to introduce a
bill, no matter what its import. In
this manner the Statutes have be-
come cluttered up with lot of
laws that are dead letters, or upon
a test of their constitutationality
are worthless. The incoming
Legislature ought to wipe all such
laws off the Statutes, and pass no
new ones that are not strictly
beneficial to the State at large,
Much care will be needed to dc
this work perfectly, but we be-
lieve the incoming Legislature is
capable of performing the work
intelligently.

Under New Management.

The Hotel Yerington was taken
charge of last Monday by c. f. Hol-
land, who has leased the property
tor a term of years. AS before
stated, a number of improvements
are to be made to the property, and
the new management will endeavor
to make this old and well known
hostelry one of the most popular in
this section. The culinary depart
ment will be under the direct SUI
pervision of Mrs. Holland, which in
sures patrons plenty to eat of the
best the market affords. Special at
tention will be given to commercial
men. The bar will be conducted by
A. Bailey, and none but the best. of
liquid refreshments will be served
over it.

THE SEPARATOR PROPOSITION.

1t seems almost useless in the
face of the intense popularity and
success of the hand separator all
over the world to make any argu-
ment in favor of its use. v L real
ize, however, that many farmers
still remain who are not convinced
that it is the best proposition.
There are some farmers in the
world who are still using the old
cradle for their wheat, and who
refuse to get their wives sewing
machines, but they are getting to
be pretty rare. The dairyman
without a hand separator will be
unknown a few years hence.
Many years ago the farmer said,
81 ought to have a harvester"
now he says, II must have har-
vester."
As usual the farmer looks at the
item of expense in the purchase
of separator. The investment
of $1oo looks big, and. the timid
dairyman is afraid to risk the in
vestment. The same farmer, how
ever, will put SIPS into binder
and will run through it in a season
or two, say $500 worth of grain.
The modern dairyman will put
$Ioo into separator and in the
lifetime of the machine will run
through it $1,000 worth of milk.
This is absolute proof that the
hand separator is the cheapest
farm implement ever invented.
But the first cost is by no means
the only advantage in the separa-
tor. 1t begins saving money for
the farmer the first day and keeps
it up as long as it is able to sepa-
rate a pound of milk. 1t saves
the long haul to the skimming sta
ton; it increases the feeding
value of the sklm-milk; it saves
the labor of handling and clean
ing of heavy cans, crooks and
pans; it saves a number of trips
to the creamery; it saves going in
a wagon when a buggy would do
Just as well.
1t saves time and labor in the
care of the small quantity of
cream rather than the large guam
tity of milk. 1t saves dollars by
keeping the butter-fat out of the
swill barrel and raises the value
of your hogs and the danger of
their becoming diseased, by Civ
ing them warm, sweet skim-milk.
The above we selected as one
of the good things found in re-
cent booklet, Separator Sense"
issued by the Continental Cream
erv Company.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. ]. Cheney < Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitution
al cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to
teaspoontul. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

CULTIVATE the MARKET.

A splendid market has been
opened up in the southern mining
country for farm produce, and
Mason Valley is beginning to feel
the beneficial effects of such a
market. Everything that can be
raised in this valley, and the vari-
ETY. of stuff is limitless, can be
sold at good figures in the mining
camps of Tonopah, Goldfeld, Bull
frog, and other camps that are
bound to be established in the
great mineral section of southern
Nevada in the near future. Al
ready Mason Valley has sent to
that section many trainloads of
hay, grain, beef and potatoes.
In view of the benefit to be
derived by this agricultural sec
ton by the development of the
mining section spoken of, it will
stand our producers well in hand
to treat the purchasers from the
south fairly; cultivate their friend
ship and the market by square
dealing, to the end that the mar
ket may be retained. A TIMES
representative has been told that
complaint has been made by our
southern neighbors that some
very poor hay has been shipped
to them from here, also that some
inferior potatoes have been sent
out Of this valley. If such is the
case, the ones engaged in such
business are displaying a very
poor policy. They may "soak"
the buyers once, but that will be
the only time, for the buyers will
not deal with the dishonest pro-
Queer again. Furthermore, the
buyer will tell his friends of the
transaction and this section will
be set down as one inhabited by a
class of bilks. Our people cannot
afford to have such a condion OF
things brought about The finest
of hay, grain, beef, potatoes, etc,
are raised in this valley, and the
best should be shipped to the
buyers. If this is not done they
will look elsewhere for the com
modities which are raised here,
and our valley will soon be passed
by as a place where the southern
buyers consider they are not
treated fairly. Do you want such
a condition to prevail? If not,
treat your customers fairly and
give them a square deal. If you
have number of tons of inferior
hay do not try to shove it off
with your good hay at top prices.
Tell your customer about it, and if
he wants it at little smaller price
give it to him; the same with po-
tatoes. If you sell a carload of
potatoes have them all of the
same grade. Do not put in forty
or fifty sacks of small and in
ferior article. If your customer
wants a second grade of spuds he
will tell you so. But if you agree
to sell him a number one article
deliver it to him, otherw Use the
chances are you will not be able
to deal with him again. Don't be
dishonest.

Tribute to Mckinley

Los Angeles, CAL, May THE Meth
odlst general conference today paid elo-
ouent tribute 10 the memory of the late
President William Mckinley. A resolu
tion, presented by Rev. ]. w. 4. Brown,
colored, candidate for bishop of Chatta.
nooga, Tenn, struck responsive chord
and the conference adopted it by stand
ing vote and referred it to the committee
on Episcopacy, with instructions to pre-
pare a memorial giving appropriate ex-
preston of honor and respect. The res0-
luton dwells upon the loyalty of President
Mckinley to the Methodist church, bic
cherished memory as citizen, and bis
great service to bis country as patriot
and statesman.
DR.. J. r. Cook offered a resolution 10
appoint special committee of seven to
revise the rubrics of the ritual upon the
administration of the sacrament. DIR.
Cook said that the language upon this
important paragraph in the church g dis
cipline was not clear, AMI in discussing it,
wanted to know "how much more proxy
worship is to be introduced into the
church,"
The resolution was referred to the COM
mittee on revivals.

Two Companies Organize

On last Saturday "The Tazewell Street
Railway Company" and "The TazeweIl
Electric Light and Power Company" were
organized. The Directors of the first
named company are: Jos. s. Moss, j. S.
Gillespie, Geo. P. Hall, w. A. Whitley,
J. Ed Peery, Geo. W. Gillespie, G. g.
Long and John E. Jackson. The officers
are: Jos. S. Moss, president; A. j. Tynes,
vice. president; G. G. Long, general man
ager and w. T. Gillespie, secretary and
treasurer.
The directors and officers for the last
named company are the same as the first,
except that G. G. Long is both vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the Light
and Power Company.
1t was first contemplated to organize
only one company and under one charter;
but it was necessary under the law to or
ganize under two charters and to have
two companies.
No time is to be lost in pushing the
work on the electric railway, and to that
end Joseph S. Moss, j. S. Gillespie, Geo.
P. Hall and G. G. Long we're appointed a
committee TO make all necessary prellmi-
nary arrangements for having the work
done.

Woodard Was Executed

Henry Woodard was hung on last Fri
day at about IL o'clock. The execution
ould haYe taken place at an earlier hour;
but the night previous Mr.. d. M. Cosby
received telegram from Governor Mont
ague asking if any further reasons could
be presented for committing the sentence
of the doomed man to life imprisonment.
Mr.. Cosby sent telegram on Friday
morning to the Governor making an ap-
peal for clemency, but could urge no other
reason, except that public sentiment at
this place was largely for mercy. At
about II o'clock on Friday the Governor
sent another telegram stating that he
could not interfere and the death SEN
tence had to be inflicted. Then the Off
GERS of the law proceeded to execute the
sentence without delay.
Contrary to expectation the crowd
which gathered at the scene was not q
large one. Even anticipation Of the awful
occurrence had thrown a pail over the
town. The crowd which assembled near
the scsfold was composed largely of boys
and youths. 1t was pitiful to see those
young persons drawn by curiosity to such
a scene. Only sixteen persons were ad-
mitted in the box which surrounded the
scafod, and most of the crowd dispersed
after Wood ,rd had made his brief re-
marks and while he was being taken back
into the enclosure. The very fact that 80
many wished to retire before the drop
fell was evidence Of an improved condi-
ton in public sentiment with regard to
public hangings. At the next meeting Of
the General Assembly of Virginia an Act
should be passed providing for having all
hangings at the State penitentiary. AS
soon as a man is sentenced to death in the
State he ought to be taken to the peniten.
tiary and kept there until he is executed.
This is the course pursued in West Viz
ginia, New York and many other States Of
the Union.

London, May 10.-The Japanese are

Massacres are Feared

Berlin, Monday.-During the past week
thousands OF Jews have crossed the 'front.'
ier by stealth, having been driven from
Russia by the lamentable conditions that
exist in the Tears domain. The report
that the Jews are responsible for the pres-
ent war, which has been industrially
spread by the anti-semites in connection
with the recent Russian reveFses, has ln=
famed the populace with the result that
the lives of the Jews in the southern part
OF the empire has been made most miser'
able.
Massacres are feared and all who can do
so are fleeing the country. Canada is the
objective point Of most Of the refugees al
certain Hebrew organisations have secur'
ed large grants Of lands there upon which
they can settle.

Ian could have stepped off a train at
Rockaway Beach at noon Thursday, he
would have seen himself banged in ethgy,
while the bells in all the volunteer hre
companies's houses tolled mournfully.
The reason for the demonstration was
the Mayors refusal to sign bill which
had for its object the compensation Of
volunteer fremen in Queens and Rich
mond for fshting fires since consolidation
with the city.

NO Marks OF VIOLENCE VISIBLE

Disappearsnee-FOreSt Fire Had
SeOrched Clothing, But the
Remains Are Easily

Big Stone Gap, Va, May 9.-The body
Of the young millionaire, E. L. Wentz'
who disappeared on the l4th OF last Octo-
ber, was accidentally found last evening
by little boy, hunting COWS In the woods
The body was lying in a position as II
testing, the head resting on the limb OF a
fallen tree, and was within mile OF where
the horse which he was riding on the day
of his disappearance, was found. The
ground has been searched over and over.
Fire in the forest has burned the leaves
away and scOrcbed the clothing, but the
body is easily recognized and there lie posi-
tiyely no doubt as to the identity. No
marks of violence were visible about the
head and face and the mystery OF the
cause lis disappearance only deepens'
It will bo Remembered that on the day
of his disappearance, every one who knew
il. suspected murder, and immense re-
wards have been offered for information
ss to the cause of his disappearance or il
murdered, the identity Of his murderersi
and numbers Of detectives and hundreds
of people fiocked into the vicinity to joir
in the search. The fear that foul play had
been dealt him grew out Of the knowledge
that be was greatly disliked by the miners
of that section, and had been warned or
many occasions that he held his life in biz
own hands.
The disappearance Of the young mar
and the inability to locate bis body or tt
find any trace of him caused the breaking
up of one of the richest homes in this sec
ton, Ted Wentz's family removed tC
Philadelphia to be away from the scene o.
the calamity, as well as to avoid possible
danger to other members Of the Wenti
family, who were the majority stockhold
ers of the Virginia Coal and Iron Com
paLy.
The body is now being guarded b,
armed men, pending an inquest, which
will take place on the arrival OF represen
tatives of the family.
