Prof. Essen eIames the State for Not
Caring for the Great Find.
Professor Gustave Eisen, in pr
vate letter to the editor of the Appeal

discoveries at the State prison as one
of the most marvellous scientific dis
coveries in the world. It is very rare

The evidence in the formation un-
earthed at the prison are so conclusive
that no one can dispute it. The bot
tom of the valley here was once a
lake and the footprints of men and
animals left in the mud were covered
up with a sand storm and layer after

and preserved them for posterity to
investigate.

THE RENO EXCURSION.
A Large Crowd Went Over to Takel
Advantage Of the Cheap Rate.

The fact that people could go to
Reno and back for so cents attracted
large crowd of excursionists to Rem,
yesterday. There was also a large
contingent from the Comstock.
Some went to buy goods in Reno
but the majority went to have good
time and see the football game.
The Appeal does not believe tina:
such excursions will become popular.
Already a good deal Of feeling has
been engendered against the PROPOSE
ton and it would not be bad idea
e<sor the railroad in future to decline
to give rates on excursions which are
gotten up for the purpose. of taking
people away from one town in order 10
have them go to the next town 10
spend their money.
There is no need of anyone in either
Carson or Virginia to go to Reno 10
buy goods. Our home merchants have
them just as cheap and of just as good
quality. The home merchant owns
his own real estate here and pays
taxes. They are also liberal freight
patrons of the w. & T. R. r. who
should help protect their interests.
Most of the people who came back
from Reno last evening were not at
all enthusiastic over the promised re.
duction of prices supposed to mater
ialize in the Reno business houses.
They had a cheap trip and a goOd
time but in the future most of thess
people will patronize Carson me-
chants.
Both the merchants of Virginia Cit
and Carson are a unit in denouncin;
the proposition of so called 'Marke
down excursions to Reno.
The feeling is SO pronounced Il
Virginia City that there is talk c
establishing freight line over tn
Geiger Grade. If the v. & T. allow
the continuance of these excursions t
take trade to Reno it will in the en-
be the greatest loser of anybody.
means less freight coming to CarsO
and Virginia City. 1t certainly doe
not pay the local road to have tn
freight for this section of the coul
try stop in Reno.

TURN CAPITAL INTO FARMLAND
Magnificent Ball, Fireworks and Lights
inaugural Night.

Washington, d. c., March 4.-Turn-
ing from the pageant of the inaugural
events of the day, the doubled popula-
ton of the city disposed itself for the
three imposing spectacles of the night,
the promenade at the pension office,
misnamed a ball; the fireworks on the
White House lot and the dazzling
street decorations in honor of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The attendance at the
ball was limited to 10000 or $4,000.
The street decorations were viewed by
solid marching column filing the
wide pavements of the avenue and the
street itself and reaching for two miles
and half.
No such brilliant scheme Of decora-
ton and illumination was ever wit
messed before in this country or any
other. The dome of the capitol stood
white against the darkness, the illu-
limitations of searchlights in the \top
of Washington monument being visi-
BILE for many miles. The fireworks
exceeded all previous displays. There
were no ordinary pieces.
The decorations of the ballroom sue
cessfully conformed to the agreement
that every Inauguration should exceed
all previous efforts. All was accom-
plished that could be effected by eX-
tended masses of color, spreading all
about and over the immense room and
it's galleries, with miles of evergreen
vines. cart loads of cut flowers, flags
in artistic combination, electric lights
by the thousands upon thousands, and
electric pieces large and small, of I'M
rivalled proportions, carrying 5000 var
led colored lights woven into a most
beautiful design.
Instrumental music and the trained
chorus of 500 voices filled the vast
building to it's remotest recesses with
the perfection Of musical attainment
In Difference to Sunday all ceremonies
stopped at midnight but it was well
toward morning before the lights were
turned down on the most brilliant
spectacle that Washington had seen in
its long line of notable occasions. Til
long after midnight the gathered thou
sands walked, wandered and enthusec
on Pennsylvania avenue, through Ions
reaches of fairyland.
With the wee small hours the lights
faded and the citizens rested aftel
their months of labor.
Grandly had the District of Colum
bia entertained the nation.

consisted Of 10 armored and protected

Russian right has been completely
shattered and the troops of the car

thousands of dead and wounded and

The blow was well delivered and
within an hour the entire Russian

demoralized. Hundreds of Russians
threw away their guns in order to be
able to more quickly retreat, and the
entire route was lined with abandoned
accoutrements.
Several Russian field pieces were
