WASHINGTON, June 5.-One hun
pred armed confederate veterans
from Tennessee carrying the stars

sion to the United States capitol
until after they had lowered their
flags and disarmed.

before entering the building. FINALLY
this was done and the old soldiers
were shown through the buildi"-.
The delegation was composed Of

UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS
GET SALARY INCREASE

The board of regents of the Ne
nual meeting yesterday, at which the
usual routine business was transacted
TIE two most important matters to
be considered were the passing of the
graduates and increase in the salaries
OF the teachers.
Alter the graduates had been pass
ed upon, this latter consideration
came up and occupied the greater
pat of the session.
1t was decided to raise the salaries
all along the line, making a grading
as follows: professors, from $500
TO $1,000 year; associate professors,
from $1,000 to 1850; assistant pro-
fessors, from $1,000 to $500; instruct
OTs, from 5000 to $1,000. Though this
scale was practically decided upon,
final action viii not be taken until
July at the next meeting Of the board.
Chief Justice Talbot Of the supreme
court; who is president of IT, hon
Orary board Of visitors, has decided
to make a recommendation to the
/ governor to allow this increase in
salaries.
/ When seen last night by Journal
! representative. Judge Talbot said:
During the few last years the wages

creased almost 10 per cent, but the
educators. who have spent years, dur
ing which they were unable to carr
anything in preparing themselves fo
their calling, are being paij the SAINT

GOOD CEMENT WALKS.

1t will not be long before substan-
tial cement walks VIII extend all up
and down Main Street. The moment
a man sees Il sement walk in front Of
his neighbOr's place next door to him
q sort of civic pri le impels him to
get busy and have one Of his own.
George Brown is the contractor
who handles the work and wherever
he has laid down cement walk in
this city it has stood every test. His
work is substantial, artistic, and rea-
sonable in price. No holes appear
in the work after he has finished it.
and the longer it wears the better it
gets.
The old board walks are being
taken up all over town and new
cement walks are taking their place.
In some instances when very old
walk is taken up small silver coins
are found under them that have drop
ped and slipped through the cracks.
The workman who finds a coin sim
ply puts it in his pocket and goes
along about his business, but If the
boys catch him finding money he Is
supposed to treat.

COLLEGE EDITOR
GETS IN TROUBLE

The last issue of ArtemeSia,
paper published at the University at
Reno, contains a cartoon which has
gwen great annoyance to the faculty.
The cartoon covering all of page POS,
shows the paths many students take
when in their waderings-SOme going
to Manzanita Hall to queen; others
to the Lone Pine but the path clearly
marked and most suggestive Of all
leads to the resorts on Commercial
ROW, then down Center Street to Sec
ond and continuing east and south.
The dotted line showing the route on
he return is crCCAed, and hour marks
tell the time the belated pleasure
seekers are made to arrive at LIN
coin Hall.
This cartoon, supposed to be
humorous mostly, is not so regarded
by the University authorities and
there is quite a rumpus over it. IL
young ladies at Manzanita Hail are
up in arms over some things III the
publication and the editor is in al
kinds Of hot water.
The editor of the Appeal can sym
pathize with the Artemesia nfan il
mis- troubles. Many years ago he wa:
the editor of small college, publica
ton in Nebraska and the last issue ht
got out caused the faculty to send ;
written request not TO return to th'
institution of leaning. The plac'
was soon afterward struck by light
ming which showed that a discerning
Providence rebuked those professor
, for their arrogance in trampling @
the press.
A college newspaper has to be live
ly to be in the swim at all and tn
one at the University seems to fl
the bill
1t is stated here that it accuse
President Stubs of losing none
gambling, which the editors say
: merely jokelet and not true. Sue
t misstatements would do credit to
a regular Reno daily.

betting all their property, took off
their clothes and threw them in
pile. Lufkin held Coal Oil Tommy,
thinking it no go, and the mare got
a start on us of fifty or sixty yards.
But the bell hand rung and set sail.
l finally closed the gap and won by
eighty feet. Thousands of dol
lars had been wagered on the number
of feet one would be in front of the
other at different points Of the race,
and while our party won the main
match a good many big bets were
lost through the bad start Coal Oil
Tommy got. After this they wouldn't
race again. Altogether we beat this
mare three times. The freight
wagons at that time were worth al.

60 to Work.

Young man 60 to work! There is
no time to idle now. You must carve
out your own way if it is ever sue
cessfully carved. You must seek
your fortune through industry, perse-
verance and pluck. Labor is honor
able, and the ignoble are those who
will not work. Get you a home.
Fence a field and pillow it and plant it,
and gather around you the comforts
of home. And when you have made
a character for industry and thrift,
ask some young lady to share your
home with you. We would say to
every young lady, mark these men
who are lounging around attempting
to live by their wits, Dr. on the inter-
est of their debts; and when they ask
you to share the lot of an aimless life,
pass them ON, for you cannot afford
to marry a man with out prosperity or
business habits, unless you wish to
sell yourself for a mess of pottage.
Again W e,would ~reiterate, young man
20 to work; while ten men watch for
chances one man makes a chance;
while ten men wait for something to
turn up, one turns something up.
while ten men fail, one succeeds, and
is called the man of luck, the favorite
of fortune. Luck and fortune are the
result of honest endeavor, work and
toll, and if you would win 60 to work.
