Reno The Gaming Center.

The editor of the Carson Appeal in
passing on his Invitation to take part in
the opening of the Monte Carlo at Reno
says in part:
At first blush we thought there might
be some mistake in the locality. Reno,
we had always looked upon as a place
unalterably opposed TO gambling. The
main opposition to a Nevada lottery
came from the newspapers of Reno who
announced over and over again that
they were opposed to the sinful pastime
of making money by chance, ''as a
matter of principle" and that they
would never allow anything SO repre-.
hensIble to obtain a foothold in the
State of Nevada, much less the virtu.
Gus precincts of Reno. the home of all
law. abiding people and the sacred State
University.
We have not noticed, however, any
pronounced protest filed against the
establishment of a Monte Carlo in
Reno, on the part of any of the mo
rality newspapers of that immaculate
city. Instead Of editorial thunders
against the evils of gambling in the
columns Of these pious sheets, we see
full page advertisements of the grand
opening. We never figured out what
kept the pious newspapers of Reno off
the opening Of this great gambling
palace until we turned to the advertis-
ing pages and scanned the big page n
nouncements of the opening.
The Appeal warn the people who
run these palaces of chance not to for
get to keep on advertising. If they
take their advertisements out of the
papers. some Of the truly pious editors
down there may conclude 10 read some
sermons against gambling on moral
grounds" as they did when they sup
posed there was q chance for a State
lottery to be established whose head.
quarters might be in Carson instead of
Reno.

LADIES' NIGHT IN
A GAMBLING DEN.

NEVADA SOCIETY WOMEN ATTEND AN
AFFAIR AT WHICH FARO DEALERS.
CRoUPIERs AND ROULETTE MANIPU.
LAToRs ARE THE Hosts.
Reno, Nevada. March 21.-To-night
the Palace, a gambling den fitted out in
an old building at. a cost of $780, OO,
gave its first Ladies' Night. Invitations
had been sent to the leading families of
Reno, Carson City, Virginia City and
every other Nevada town. At least 200
were accepted.
The strange sight was witnessed of
women whose husbands are worth
great fortunes touching elbows with
Chinese, Mexicans and ne'er-do-wells
of every nationality in eager quest OF
the fortune that the little roulette ball
seldom brings. Others crowded the
blase regulars from their places about
faro tables. Still others threw craps
and guessed Klondike.
For the most part the women were
accompanied by sweethearts or hus-
bands, and their brothers escorted a
few. 1t was a gala night for the Pal
ace. A really excellent orchestra, i'm
ported from San Francisco for the oc-
c~asion, made it easy to lose by playing
the intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusti.
cana" ''Bedelia'' and "My Evening

Hundreds of gamblers are here.

true.
The Gazette here cites as to what was
to have been, as taken from the adver-
tised announcements of the opening Of
the gambling resort and for Ladies'
Night, and adds:
Whether any parties of ladies and
gentlemen visited the place as a sort of
Summing expedition the Gazette has
no means of knowing. But that any
ladies of Reno who, beguiled by
the announcement, visited the place,
did do any Of the things specifically
mentioned in the article, the Gazette
denies on general principles.
The editor of the Gazette CALAMITY
defends the women Of Reno and places
them on a standard of public morals as
high as may be found anywhere. After
dwelling upon the cosmopolitan popu-
latioa of Reno. he concludes:
II is, therefore, a libel upon this city.
calculated to do us much wrong aud in
jury, since SANDER travels faster than
its contradiction. to send forth such de-
based statements as those in question.
Just now Reno is trying to perfect her
title to a good name as a place for
parents to send their children for an
education. and a city of good promise.
1t is a shame thus to scandalize Us and
thus to bring evil tongues to wagging
about us as a city where license and i'm
propriety are tolerated by the best people,
where the leading women gamole and
drink at a public bar and where boys
with their s~weethearts take part unfor-
hidden in the primary lessons of indie
cency. 1t will do Us more harm in a
thousand ways than we dream of. And
above all it is not so.

Stock Raisers to Crush Beef Monopoly

Stock Raisers to Crush Beef Monopoly
Washington, March 20.-That the
days of the Beef Trust are numbered is
the opinion of John G. Oxley of Chey.
enne, Wyo., who says there is a move
ment to crush out the Trust by compe-
tent competition. Mr.. Oxley is a WELL
known cattleman and he is enthusiastic
over the scheme. He said:
1.-THE Beef Trust monopoly has had
both the producers and the consumers
of beef in its grasp for 10, these
many years, but it cannot pursue its
piratical course much longer if the plans
of the biggest and wealthiest stock rails
ers of the United States are carried
out. as they probably will be.
"The Independent Company will
have a capital of $4,000, 900 and will
build competing packing houses in
Chicago. Kansas City. Omaha and Fort
Worth, where the combine is now oper.
ating its plants. In all the cattle States
owners are subscribing literally to the
new company and there will be no
trouble in raising all the money needed.
Under the present condition there is
practically but n buyer Of beef in the
United States, for the members of the
combine will not bid against one an
other and the first price offered is also
the last price. With competition the
men who raise steers for market will be
freed from the tyranny of the big
Four and unless this does come about
the ranchmen of the West will be re.
duced to a state of poverty"

UP GOES THE PRICE OF BEEF.
Trust Causes Consumers to Pay From
2to3 Cents More a Pound for Food.

Trust Causes Consumers to Pay From
2to3 Cents More Pound for FOOD.
New York, March 2O.-Determined
on still another increase in its enormous
profits in the sale Of dressed beef, the
Beef Trust has made an arbitrary adj
vance of 1 cent a pound on its product.
The advance goes into effect tomorrow.
1t means an increase of 2 or 8 cents a
pound to the consumer. 1t is estimated
that the Beef Trust will increase Its
profits more than $3.50. 900 a month by
the new price schedule. The advance
is arbitrary and absolutely without
justification from the conditions OF the
livestock market.
The rise in price is said to be the in
direct result of the war that has been
waged for months by the Beef Trust in
an effort to crush the Cudahy Packing
Company. its great rival. The Beef
Trust found that the Cudahy interests
were able to meet every cut with a
greater one. Refreshments by the
Trust followed and prices have been
steadily advancing for several months.
The present increase affects not only
this city. but every other city through
ont the country. 1t adds TO the heavy
burden under which the poor are al
ready suffering-the increased cost of
all necessaries of life.

Carson News.
The other day the Lieutenant Gov
ernor of California visited this city. A
friend escorted him to the State Capital
building and sought to introduce him
to Nevada's officials. To his chagrin. OF
all the high officials on the first floor,
ranging from Governor to Surveyor
General, the latter was the only n IN
the building or in the city for that
matter. Of course the Carsonite ex-
planned the circumstance by saying that
some sort of a meeting of State import
ance was being held in another city;
and equally of curse he considers the
lie justified. This was no unusual cir
cumstance. Instead it is the custom
ary condition, and if the machinery OF
the State is running smoothly. it is
only because it runs itself, or because
the deputy officials are very capable
people, as they undoubtedly are.
A State officers constant presence at
the Capitol is not mandatory, nor is it
necessary, but he certainly should
spend at least a majority of his time
there. If he is so situated that he
finds it impossible so to do, he has the
ready alternative of resigning. and a
proper appreciation Of the eternal fit
ness of things certainly should inspire
some examples along this line.

One gallon OF alcohol, two gallons of

g~lycerine. Boil the prunes and
squeeze the juice out, and the same
with the tobacco, and thoroughly
mix. ''This," he says, proudly,

it in kerosene cans to avoid suspicion.
