A GREAT DISPLAY
OF SUBLIME GALL

The New Nalhalla Theatre was
opened on last Saturday and Sunday
evening with a performance by the
Nevada State Band. The show was
widely advertised and the public Civ
Ell the impression that a most extra
Ordinary and laughable entertainment
would be presented There is not the
slightest doubt in the minds of those
present that it was an extraordinary
entertainment. Extraordinary be-
cause it was entirely lacking in any
thing that might be called entertain
ing and because of the grand display
of sublime gall on the part of the per-
formers in imagining the people of
| this community so easy as to accept
their show as one full of merit. We
may be easy but we are not simpletons
and when any company presumes so
far on our good nature as to consider
us entirely devoid of judgment it is
time that halt be called. The people
of this valley have long submitted TO
like indignities, but their patience like
everything else has limit and that
limit was reached on Saturday and
Sunday evenings. When we are i'm
posed upon in this manner by travel
ing show it is bad enough, but when
people living but a short distance a
way, many of whom are we'll known
in this neighborhood, eoneoet such
a nefarious scheme and thrust it upon
unsuspecting heads, even those among
us who can well be compared with
job of old, murmur.
We have been provided with enter
tainment by talent from Carson on a
number of occasions and in nearly
every instance have nothing but words
of praise for their efforts. Our relations
with the Carson people have always
been the friendliest and it is for this
reason that we feel sore over our
treatment at their hands. There IS
little need of going into detail and ex-
planning wherein the performance
merits such extreme disapproval, but
we cannot refrain from saying just a
word or two concerning Mr.. Ballard
or "Ballardini the Great according
to his own phraseology. He was the
arch conspirator and the king-pin hot
air meraehant of them all. He wa
the proverbial straw that broke the
camel's back. II will be remembered
/ he advertised himself second to none
and the equal TO Herman the Great
and Kellar. 1t now occurs to his
Gardnerville audience that he referred
to his gall 1t has also occurred to
the above audience to lay up goodly
quantity of decomposed vegetables
and stale hen fruit against his reap
pearance.
1t is to be hoped that the good peo-
pie of Carson will diseontinueance any
further repetition of what occurred on
Saturday and Sunday night. The peo-
pile of this Valley have always patro-
nized Carson and her enterprises very
literally and we feel that it is our
due that we receive from them only
such treatment as the principles of
the Golden Rule would dictate.

condemnatory of the present method of register

to prevent fraud and plan that offers the best

give opportunity for more sorts of fraud.

The Edge Drop Planter.

1u0 LUX0 DIOp Z At1AtCTs
A Nebraska correspondent wishes 10
know whether the edge drop planter
is superior to the common round hole
plate planters; and if go. in what re-
spect.
An edge drop planter is very
superior implement in the hands of q
superior man; in the hands of care
less man it is not any better than the
round hole planter The edge drop
planter is so arranged that it picks up
one grain at time, drops that into q
receptacle, and each third drop drops
all three into ground. It therefore
will not plant butts and tips together,
will not plant big grains and small
grains together. Therefore it is of use
only 10 the man who will make very
careful selection Of his seed, plant only
grains of the same size At time, and
change his plates for different sized
grains, whether that difference in size
be in depth or in width.
We knew, for instance, of one farm.
or in our own county who got an edge
drop planter, put in butts and tips,
and went ahead. The planter, of
course. picked out the medium sized
fiat grains and left the large ones in
the box. he was greatly surprised in
the course of time to find that his seed
was holding out surprisingly we'll. On
examination he found that he was not

getting more than one grain to the
hill. If you don't intend to select your
seed corn very carefully both for type
and terminating power and uniform
size of grains let the edge drop planter
alone. But if You want to plant two or
three grains to the hill, which ever you
think your land will stand, and will
select your corn for it, then the edge
drop planter is the thing to buy.
We don't urge every farmer to get
the best tools or the best stock, but the
tools and stock that are adapted 10 bis
stage of advancement. The scrub
farmer should deal with scrub stock;
the grade farmer with grade stock;
the thoroughbred farmer with pure bred
stock. The up. to.dste farmer should
get corn planter that will enable him
to get an even and full stand. The
man who goes by guess work and don't
know what he wants, don't know the
terminating power Of his seed. and
will not take the trouble to grade it
and make coordination between his
brain, the corn, and the planter plate,
had better use the old fashioned round
hole planter and trust to luck.-Wal-
laces Farmer

Why Cereals Lodge.

l..
The following communication has
been received from . subscriber. Mr..
G. g. O'Dell. Of Whiteside county. III !:
I wish you would discuss the cause
and cure for the lodging Of small grain.
especially oats It is tho common
opinion here that when oats lodge It 10
because the land ID too rich. which
causes. . rank growth Of straw which
an ordinary wind will blow over. Now
1t seems to me that land that grows
only from thirty.five to forty bushels Of
corn per acre cannot be 90 rich % 70
cause oats to lodge. It seems to me
ness Of straw must be lacking.
Asa rule. small grain lodges to .
great extent In the corn belt because Of
the fact that there 10 relatively larger
amount Of nitrogen In the. soil than
there IL Of ash constituents, It is .
well-known fact that nitrogen contrib.
utes to rankness in both stem and leaf.
In some instances the application Of ,
potash fertilizer will greatly lessen the
extent to which grains will lodge. For.
merly it was thought that the presence
Of much silica In the soil tended to
stiffen the straw. but it is now consid .
cred that ordinary soils contain plenty
of this element and that success in
cereal growing depends largely upon
the presence of sufficient quantities Of
phosphorio acid and potash.
Sometimes lodging can be prevented
by making the soil firm before seeding.

A Fire and No Water.

The necessity for water mains in tht
southwest part of the city was demon
stra,ed last Sunday evening during the
fire in Tom Wsllace's house to the dis
gust Of several hundred people who
were attracted to the scene of the fire.
It was just six o'clock when the alarm
sounded and it seemed as If half of the
people Of the city were bound to see
what caused that alarm, and they had a
good walk or run as the case suited the
inquisitive A LEADER representative
was on the ground promptly and stood
there among the many disgusted people
watching the gallant dremen fight the
fire with the crude msans at hand.
Fortuna tely there was little wind and
the fire had gained slight headway
when the doors were burst open, other
wise tho house would have been total
loss, because the fire mains were TOO
remote for the amount of hose carried
OF owned by the city. It was about
four blocks to the nearest hydrant and
that was connected with four inch
main which is too small for effective
fire fighting
Tom Wallace and wife we're away In
the country and the origin Of the fire is
. mystery. because they went away in
the morning aud the fire was discovered
about In the evening No great
damage was done, two hundred dollars
will probably cover the loss,
That part Of third ward Is absolutely
without any fire protection. and its an
outrage on the property owners to be
thus put at the mercy of any blaze that
may occur. There is only one four
inch main south of the track in that
part of the city and there are great
many houses south Of the track In the
third ward.
Some adequate fire protection should
be given those property owners. They
pay taxes and are entitled to protection
but they have asked and asked in
vain for years This is matter the
city council must take up at once. It's
an outrage to ask those property owners
to pay taxes and refuse them ordinary
fire protection.
If money is scarce stop building CO.
ment crossings and put the money into
water mains. We have an excellent
fire department but the firemen can't
do much without water Fire protec-
tion is a requisite to the development
and growth Of city tits hoped the
city council will do something to re.
lieve the miserable condition 90 appar.
