NEVADA BULLION TAX RETURNS
Neven's Tour Adds Fifty Thousand to
State Revenue

] H. Nevin has returned to his
Headquarters in Reno after a most

mining districts, in connection with
his iuties as state license and bullion
tax agent.
The work of this Office is a. index

county which last year was reduced
from $4S5 to $275. it being found
that this rate would insure a sufficient

The reduction is moro than encou

Yesterday another step was taken

Awful Punishment That Was De-
creed by an Ancient Council.
'Berne has an official collector of
June bugs" writes a correspondent of
the Chicago News from Switzerland.
"This parsonage is appointed by the
city council when the triennial pest of
June bugs occurs, and he is empow-
cred to destroy all the insects that may
be brought to him. Each owner Of a
small estate is obliged to gather five
pounds of bugs, and those who happen
to be the proprietors Of larger pieces
of property must collect proportion
ately more. For each pound that is
missing from this obligatory amount a
line OF 10 cents is imposed, but if more
than the required quota is forthcom-
ing a premium Of 2 cents a pound is
paid. This remuneration is offered
also to others besides the property
owners. A landholder who entirely
neglects to gather any bugs at all is
subject to a fine of from SIS to S1O
School children receive permission to
enter large estates, where they shake
the trees and poke long sticks about in
their endeavors to dislodge as many
bugs as possible.
In. times Of old, the ancient chroni-
clers tell us, it was the custom to at
tempt to rid the country of these I'M
welcome visitors by citing them into
court and by banishing them from the
country, but the willy insects failed to
obey the summons and continued to
fly about in the face Of the law, laying
eggs promiscuously and contrary to
edict. In certain village it was de-
termined to make a terrible and last
Ing example Of all the insects found
within it's borders. With considerable
expenditure Of time and patience guam
titles of bugs were collected and placed
in a huge sack. Deliberation was held
as to the fate of these hard backed
prisoners. Ordinary death was consid-
cred too light punishment for such
offenders. A hideous end must he
theirs.
"A procession of the inhabitants of
the village, advisers and councillors,
wise men and children, wendell it's way
slowly toward the place of execution,
the summit of high peak. This was
laboriously climbed, an executioner
with the bag of buzzing bugs in the
lead. With due regard for the respon-
sibility and business of their act, the
wise men approached the edge of the
precipice. The bugs were to be igno-
mlnlously dashed to pieces on the
rocks thousands of feet below. The
executioner hung over the crag, the
bag, top downward, was opened and
the bugs shaken out to their death.

ignominy, to be subsequently expelled
from his club-poetic justice which
would have been defeated even by a
chairman Of quarter sessions.
The great theoretical and practical
knowledge of law possessed by Charles
| Reade saved him from this error, as
from many others. Yet the famous
trial scene in Hard Cash" would have
been ruthlessly deprived of it's most
dramatic moment by any judge of the
high court. When the hapless Alfred
Hardy, who has been wrongfully i'm
prisoned in an asylum by his wicked
father, comes at last to establish his
sanity before jury his case is closed
by the reading of a letter from his
dead sister. Writing at the point Of
death, she solemnly denies his insanity
and begs him to show her words to his
accusers when she is no more Read
aloud by the judge himself, her letter
reduces a crowded court to tears and
goes far to secure her brother a trium-
plant verdict, with heavy damages.
Hard Cash. is termed "a matter of
fact romance" but, as a matter of fact
and law, no such letter could have been
received in evidence. Knowing that,
under ordinary circumstances, such
testimony would be inadmissible,
Reade is careful to establish that the
writer knew herself to be dying; but
he was unaware that a "dying declara-
ton is only admissible in evidence
upon a charge Of murder or man
slaughter Of the person who has made
1t, and cannot be laid before the iury
in any other case whatever.
Numerous and entertaining are the
trial scenes which adorn the works of
Mrs. Henry Wood, but they hardly pro-
