THE MUDDY VALLEY.

Tint section of Nevada most
closely resembling a paradise IS
certainly the Muddy River valley
says the Wells Herald scribe, Lin-
coin county, for, unquestionaoiy, IL
is the most prolific and beautiful
region of the whole State. No one
who has not been there can baVe
any idea of its grandeur.
Not one in five hundred people OF
this State know that within the bor-
dars of this battle-born land lies
valley that bids fair to eclipse any
section of California in the prod
uction of fruits aud vegetables.
Though the valley has been In
habited for more than thirty-hVe
years, it had been so isolated that
very few people have ever visited IT,
However, the sound OF the
locomotive whistle on the San Pedro
road has disturbed its secltsion and
bought it from retirement.
During all these years COM
paratively no market has been
afforded the farmers for their pro-
duct and they have simply lived IN
hopes of better days ahead.
AT last their foundest dreams are
realized. The bands of steel rails
have been laid almost at the gotes OF

to the great possibilities OF their
favored section, new blood has bee n
Unused into their veins They feel
that they have the most fertile

defy contradiction. Their valley is

The first settlement of the Muddy
was at st. Thomas and the home
ofB,lhng and Seabright has been
standing for 38 years, being the
Oldest in the valley. The earliest
aettlers were Mormons. They sup
posed they were living in Utah,
and for three years paid their taxes
there. One day the Nevada officials
called upon them aud demanded
that they pay the three years, bach

Sermons VS.. Scandals

To the Editor OF the Ocala Banner:
Why do you write sermons and
double-1eaded editorials on events of
big moment? Are you not old enough
to know that that is not the way TO
make your paper popular? DON'T
you know that if you should print
the grandest sermon that ever fell
from human lips that not 20 per cent
OF even the professedly pious will
read it? Print a detailed account of
some female bunco game or a sensa-
tlonal divorce in high life and ninetv-
nine per cent of the very elect will
make dive for the paper before
breakfast, swoop down on it like a
hungry niger on a bowl of crab soup.
devour every word then roll their
eyes heavenward, like a calf with the
collie, and wonder what this wicked
old world Is coming to.
Write dog fights; attend the police
courts; print scandalous and cues
tionable doings, and give those SER
mons and heavy-hitting editorials q
rest. and your paper will be avari-
ciously devoured. x.P.o.

1t is not likely that Mr.. Rockefeller
will be so much disturbed by the
article of our neighbor across the
way as will the students of political
economy, who, in amazement, will OPP
en- their eyes to the realization of the
fact that they have been cropping in
utter darkness for all these years.
How astonished they will be to
learn that kerosene oil is one of the
prime necessities of life and es-
pecially so to the poor of our big
cities. This is at least the statement
of our esteemed contemporary
Natural light. of course, is one Of
the prime necessities, the same as
the air we breathe, for we are de-
pendent on it for heat, and on it, in
turn, for growing crops, but never
before have we been told that mans

As ii matter OF fact gas is cheaper
today in our big cities than kerosene
oil, which in itself destroys the argu
ment of our neighbor about the poor
upon the latter.

that the city of Akron, Ohio, had
entered into a formal contract with a

At forty cents per thousand feet
gas is cheaper than kerosene oil at
twenty cents per gallon.
The reason kerosene oil sold for
two dollars per gallon in Ocala in 1867
is explained by eur esteemed con-
temporary from the fact that Ocala
was at that time wholly inacces-
sible'' But this explanation will
not hold water, for. as matter of
truth, freight rates We're cheaper

The waters had been separated from
the dry land; the darkness was di
yided from the light.
To compare sublime things with
ordinary ones, the house may now
said to have been finished structure,
yet il was without an occupant
There was no one to appreciate its
beauties nor to utilize it to the great
ends tor hich it was intended.
So God created man and made him
the master of the house. He was
given dominion over every animate
and inanimate thing in sea, earth and
air
He stamped his own image on man
and he bears the same relation to the
world that God and the holy angels
bear to the celestial kingdom.
AS the world grows older; as the
sciences make greater forward move
ments; as man puts the physical
forces of the universe more complete
ly under his control and makes them
subservient to his needs; as natures
secrets are more and more revealed,
her mysteries explored and laid bare,
and her laws become better under
stood, the conclusion forces itself up
on the knowledge of the world that
man in his relation to the universe
bears the visible likeness of Cod
that he was created i'm His image and
reflects His divinity.
Having been placed in the world
and given dominion over it, laws
immutable laws-became necessary
for his guidance and government.
Among those emphasized on the
tables of stone and heralded in thun-
der notes from Sinai, was this:
s'Thou shalt not kill!''
How has this command been obey
ed?
The very first child born into the
world violated it.
He was not in turn judiciaiIy muir
dered, but was punished by a brand
being put uDon him and he was
driven forth a fugitive upon the face
of the earth.
And this punishment was SO great
that he cried out in anguish and bit
terness of spirit: My punishment is
greater than | can bear
If we placed a mark upon murder
ers today and sent them forth is fu-
gitives upon the earth instead of VIC
lating the law and killing them. who
is it that does not believe that the
punishment would have a more re-
straining influence and bear more
effectual fruit?
The world grew SO wicked through
the repeated violations of this law
that God felt impelled to destroy it.
At later period he sent his only
begoJten son is an example for right
eousness and propiation for sin.
What is the moving principle, the
great characteristic, the benign bene-
dictiOn of his life?
Peace, good will toward men,
Upon this rock he founded his
church and what has his disciples
substituted for it?
Blackhanded, paralyzing war.
His ministers already publicly pro-
claim that the gates of help have
prevailed against Gods holy law.
Less than a week ago, we heard an
eminent preacher say to crowded
church in Ocala, and which saying
apparently received the approval
of every listener, that this ut
terance of Christ is impossible of
realization and as long as the world
lasts we shall have wars.
We certainly shall as long as the
pulpits breathe the war spirit and
make a hero of the man dressed IN
the flashing uniform of war

B. Alexander and Raymond D. Little; Yale
by the team captain. Karl H Behr. and Co.
lumbia. by the team captain and intercolie-
giate champion of last year. Robt. LIE Roy.
The meeting is the first of the season In
the vicinity of New York to be played on
ton, SO that the men were all able to show
their strokes to good advantage, the only
difficulty experienced being due to the high
wind. Behr, the Yale player, was in fine
form and easily disposed of his opponent.
B. G. Braine, in straight sets by love
score Behr was particularly strong on
his drives for placement, and won the
points In rapid order by passing Rraine
Clearly through the center of his court.
Richard Stevens, the famous base line
player, also won his match with Dudley
Bramhall. The latter tried to check Stew
ems passing by lobbing, but the effort cost
him dearly, as the wind caught the ball in
the high lObbs and caused 1t to fall into
the net in the majority of his attempts.
LIE Roy played his strongest drives with
telling effect against A. Wadsworth. The
latter was unable to make anything like a
fair return against the intercollegiate cham
pion, and in consequence LIE Roy only toyed
with him throughout the two SETS which
he won by the score of &c. 6-1.
Two matches were played In the doubles,

HEAVYWEIGHTS BOX,
It Was Johnson First and Munree No
where,

In the wind-up at the National Athletic
Club. Philadelphia. last night, between a
pair of Jacks-Munroe and Johnson-there
was nothing to 1t but the Johnson part.
Munroe, who achieved considerable distinc-
ton by reason of the fact that he stayed
with Jeffries four rounds once upon a time,
and the fact that he outpointed Sharkey a
year ago. was looked upon by some as
proof conclusive that he had at least a look
in with the best that the pugilistic world
afforded. All of that must have been ex-
ploded last night. There never was an in
terval in tie six-round conversational
with johnson that he showed anything to
justify the belief that he is anything
better than an ordinary husky guy, en-
dowed by nature with large physique, but
up even second-rater among heavyweight
boxers.
In the first place. this displacement was
against him. He was entirely too bulky
around the basement, which resembled
nothing much as mass of DaiDitating
geiatine His feet were in his way. and
there were stages of the bout when you
couldn't tell whether he was coming or
going.
johnson himself did not by his perform
ance demonstrate that he was the finished
article that he has been cracked up to be.
He won all the way. to be sure, and at the
finish had Munroe looking all ways for
rest but at that there were times when.
had he been as good as his touters main
tain, he would have saved great deal OF
