Officers Are Now Busy
With the Case

WELLINGTON, Nevada, July 27.-
An inquest was held over the body OF
the unknown man who was murdered
here yesterday and a verdict of muir
der by unknown parties was rendered.
Upon an examination of the body
nothing was found that would throw
any light upon the identity of the IN
known man or from whence ne came.
If he had any papers or money upon
his person they evidently had been
taken by the party or parties respon-
sible for this mans death. The body
was buried this afternoon in the
Smith Valley cemetery.
The officers Of Lyon have only one
clue to work upon. On the day pre-.

Report of Honorary
Visitors to University

In the main seems sufficient to meet
any urgent present needs.
While influences in the city of
Reno exist which are rot desll-
able for students, they are not less Ia
vorable than those adjacent to other
universities, and the standard and
morals of the students generally at
our university compare well with
those in other states. During the past
year three have been dismissed for
improper conduct and this, under the
circumstances, we consider low per-
centage, being only about one tor
management of the university is to
be commended for having already
taken action toward guarding against
these influences and our desire and
recommendation is that even more
gent regulations be imposed agains.
the freedom of the city and the
ing on or off the campus, and es-
pecially the younger ones not in the
advanced classes and whose charac-
ters are not SO well formed, meets
with the approval of the regents and

Not only should the scholars be well

The honorary board of visitors Of
the state university yesterday sub

The report is one of the most inter-
esting ever given by the board and
covers in thorough manner the
conditions, ETC., at the state instltu-
ton of learning. Following Is the
report in full:
Acting under Sections 1406 and
1408 of the compiled laws, the hon

of the university, and hereby report
to the governor, the people and the
next legislature OF the state:
We find much to commend and
only few things to suggest. Con-
sidering the number Of our popu'l-
ton and the length of time the uni
growth and advancement has been
rapid, and it has already reached that
Stage aud condition that it is a cred

pride Of its citizens. The outlook for
the future is even more encouraging
than the progress OF the past, and
with continued careful management
We may safely predict that the advan-
tages and sphere of usefulness Of the
institution will be largely increased
during the next few years.
Not only may we assume that the
I'M iverSity will continue to receive
material and liberal aid from the
state, but its rapid growth and al
ready advanced condition have at
tracted the attention of generous men
of wealth who are anxious to do

education. The muniicent gifts OF

discovered that the man was missing.
A further search revealed the fact
that q horse belonging to Mr.. Nash

that it was he who took the horse to

Watching the Year Out.

Throughout the world the practice Of
watching the old year out and the
new come in has been a common OBJ
servance for many centuries. In the
monasteries and converts of various
religious orders it has always pres
vailed, and several Protestant denoml
nations observe 1t as q beneficial in.
stitution, promoting, as it does, piety
and the formation Of good resolutions.
Resolves for the future are not limited
to our own time, for nearly 1000 years
ago Pliny, the scrapbook maker, noted
in his quaint fashion the return Of the
Saturnalia; made a memorandum that
during the coming year he must make
sacrifices to certain gods whom he, had
neglected and that in other ways he
must amend his life There is no rec
ord that he did. so his New Year
resolutions were probably forgotten
as quickly aus those made nowadays

A DUTCH NEW YEAR,
Old Time Hospitality In the Mo-
hawk Valley.
CAKES BY BUSHEL BASKET.

Honest Graft For the Matutinal Milk
nan-Rum Toddy the Official Drink.
Festive Day For the Faithful Farm
Hand-open House Everywhere.
There was no day of the year so gen.
orally. particularly and joyously cele-
brated In the Mohawk valley by the
early Dutch settlers and by their de-
scendants as New Years, and when
Jan and Barent met Bjbertje and En-
gletie early on bright, frosty New
Years morning the religious and some
what formal greeting was when put
into English:
Il wish you a happy New Year.
Long may You live. Much may you
give and happy may you die and in
herit the Kingdom Of heaven by and
by"
The preparations for the New Years
hospitalities were begun by the moth
ers and their daughters frequently as
soon as the first frost and snow made
their appearance. for there was much
to be done to be ready on the joyous
day. New Years cakes, rich and de-
licious (some Of the descendants of
the early Dutch housekeepers make
them now. using the same recipe and
the same ancient dies and stamps that
their t-grandmothers used and
about tie size and shape of mans
hand and less than half as thick, were
made by the bushel basketful-literal-
ly. 1t was not unusual for the hos
pitable Dutch housewife to give from
five to six hundred cakes to the chill
dren who called before the noon hour.
The early rising by the boys and girls,
which proper observance Of the day
demanded, is equaled in our day by the
early rising on the Fourth of July.
There was one old mansion in the
Mohawk valley that was particularly
notable for its hospitality (not only on
New Years day, but upon all occa-
sions) and good times. 1t stood and is
still standing on the estate of Alexan-
der Lindsey Glen and was named by
him In 1859 Scotia in memory of the
land of his birth. The children started
on their rounds at sunrise and went
from house to house Justify pounding
with the great iron or brass knockers.
The littlest ones shouted, Happy New
Year for a cakew but the older ones
refrained from so far giving them
selves away by leaving off the last
three words. 1t was not at all an un-
usual occurrence for three or four
hundred cakes to be given to the boys
and girls before breakfast from the
Glen mansion.
Coming down to more recent days
In the Mohawk valley, the custom of
giving cakes was extended to the milk
men. Each milkman always purchas-
ed new bushel basket to carry about
on New Years morning in his wagon

for holding the supply Of cakes and
the other dainties which were some
times added Each house where milk
was left helped fill the bushel basket.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning
the men began to make their calls aft
er making the most elaborate toilet Of
the year. A previous acquaintance
was not necessary for one to make
calls. 1t was the one day of the year
when every home was open to every
body without regard to birth or posi-
ton. The last day Of the old year
was spent by the women Of the family
in preparing dainty confections, solid,
rich cake, and in the morning the
choicest old wine was brought up from
the cellar, and hot rum toddy was
made, rum toddy being the official New
Years drink in the Mohawk valley.
The Dutch partook sparingly of the
wine and toddy at each house, and, al
though nearly all the men were incl
low" by the time the festivities ended
at midnight. no one was drunk. There
was one exception to this rule. The
farm hands were usually dead to the
world by noon and so out Of the way
of their betters.
But all this charming hospitality and
the delightful customs were made i'm
possible generation or more ago by
the outsiders of other nationalities than
Dutch. who f1ocked to the larger towns
of the valley and turned the day Of
hospitality into day Of drunkenness.

the fact that the custom has been

Why We Call Il january.

The Romans called the first month OF
the(year January in honor of the god
Janus. At dawn of the year the people,
robed in white, sacrificed elaborate Of
ferings to their gods, especially to
janus. Fraternal greetings, benevolent
gifts and exchanges of costly presents
marked the day. All evil speaking,
quarrels or excesses were for one day
laid aside, and the ideals Of nobler
future were brought to mind by j ra-
bles enacted In public places. The SOL
dIers renewed their vows of loyalty to
Caesar and put on new uniforms.

THE cHILDREN's HOLIDAY.
In China New Years Is the Little
Ones Great Festival.

Except at the Chinese New Year,
which comes in February, it is very
hard to catch glimpse of children in
China. Little beggars will run beside
you for miles to earn cash, a
copper coin with square hole in the
middle of it, worth the twentieth of a
cent, but children who have parents
to care for them seem to be kept in
doors all the time or only allowed to
play in walled yards and gardens. We
used to say to each other: "Why, where
are the children? Haven't they got
anyg' But at New Years we found
out that they had. This is the great
holiday of all the year in China, when
everybody hangs out flags and colored
lanterns and sets off firecrackers. (We
borrowed our custom of frecrackers
for the Fourth of July from China's
New Year's.) All the people put on
their best clothes and the children the
best of all, jackets and trousers of
bright blue or green or yellow or pur-
pie, the boys and the girls so much
alike that you can only tell them apart
by their hair. The boys of course is
braided in pigtail, and the girls is
done up on her head with silver pins
or, If she's a very grand little girl, with
gold or jade. Thus decked out, the
children go walking with their proud
papas and mammas and often gos to
the theater, which is rare treat{ for
them.
Perhaps Chinese children have romp-
ing plays together, but they always
look as If they were born grown up
