he Manhattan end of the Brooklyn
bridge recently was picked out by
two lemon pool men as likely vic
tim. They got to talking to him and
wound up By suggesting a drink. Then
they suggested a game of pool, The
little fellow said he didn't know much
about pool, but to be obliging he
would play a few games. To make
the games interesting they bet dol
lar on one ball, better known as the
lemon ball. One of the lemon men
won the lemon ball, but they saw to it
that the little fellow got the game
The second, third and fourth games
were won by the little fellow, but
either one of the lemon men was sure
to get the balls. The fifth game play.
ed, the little fellow apparently grew
desperate and offered to bet SIS. To
give their new-found friend chance
to get his money back, the two agreed
to plunge. The little fellow got the
lemon ball pushed into the pocket BY
men thought it was an accident, and
the sixth game found them offering
TO bet S25 on the lemon. They were
taken up, and to their surprise the
little fellow got it again. The sew
enth, eighth, and ninth games saw the
lemon ball pushed into the uocket by
the little fellow. The proprietor or
the billiard parlor, who is on the
square, held the stakes, and when the
lemon men cried quits more than $3.50

After several years Of enforced re.
tirement, Major" Taylor, the famous
negro cycle racer, may again be seen
on the big tracks, and it is reported
that he will soon be riding in Paris.
1t will be recalled that Taylor stock
dropped when he refused to meet Ma

The report comes from Paris sport
detail predicting great work for Tay.
lor in a round-the-world tour via Aus
tralia. Unfortunately for the French
paper, Major himself denies the
story. OF late years Taylor has been
regarded as one of the solid citizens
of Worcester, Mass, where he has
been living easily on his income from
wellinvested earnings. Some corrob-
orative evidence for the French state

cablegram from Taylor in the adver-
Using of a French manufacturer Of
bicycles, in which the American
states positively that he is returning

THE SELECTION OF SCHOOL
BOOKS

\ textbook commission composed
OF Governor Sparks, DR.. J. E. Stubbs,
President OF the Nevada University,
State Superintendent Orvis Ring,
Principal c. ShOer of TonOpah, Prin-
cipal George Anderson of ElkO, Prin-
cipal Edward Winfrey of Reno and
Principal Templeton of Carson were
called to meet last week in Carson
to select textbooks for use in the
schools of Nevada.
The power of this commission to
make contracts with textbook COM
panies is somewhat uncertain, but it
has the power to refuse any book
which will cost more in the State Of
Nevada than the same book sells for
for in the most favored states in the
Union, and in that way if in no other,
this commission can give to our State
a series of books which will be in
keeping with the educational move
ments in other states. There is no
reason why the people of this state
should be obliged to continue to pay
more than double the amount that is
being paid In other states for the
same books, and if the commission
does not give the matter the atten-
ton it deserves, its members should
be given to understand that their
action is null and of no effect, and
another commission should be ,ap-
pointed to do the selecting.
The time is ripe for action, and nj
further delay should be tolerated b!
the people of the State of Nevads
in bringing about the reduction II
;, the exorbitant prices now being paiC
for school books.-Sentinel

Some wees ago young lady or

PROTECTING MINING INVEST
ORS
Arazona Passed Bill With That
Object, But Nevada has Failed
To Do So

The legislature of Arizona has
protection of investors in mining
shares, and legitimate mining will be
greatly encouraged thereby. Ari-
zona has heretofore been fruitful
field for the mining swindler and the
bogus promoter, who has. sold his
worthless share certificates for mil
lions of dollars. Arizona is not the
only mining field that has been work
ed extensively along these lines, but
she is among the first to make an
effort to protect the legitimate pro-
punishment Of the swindler. The
value of mining claim is indefinite.
1t may prove to be bonanza, or it
may be absolutely valuesless. Where
parties are honestly attempting to
develop a property along legitimate
lines they should be encouraged, but
when their chief endeavor is to dis
pose of lot of worthless certificates
they should be prosecuted to the
limit
Mining men owe it to themselves
TO protect the business in which they
are engaged form the wolves who are
! continually fleeing the public. Ne
! yada should be made too hot for the
man whose only object in engaging
in mining is to rob the public by fake
companies and washed sales.-
Phoebe Record
Nevada made an attempt to pass a
! law at the last session 1t provided
that every corporation doing business
in this state with stock for sale,
should advertise an annual statement
in some newspaper published in the
state and said statement should dis
close what amount of money was re-
ceived from sale of shares and how
; much of it had been used in develop
ment. The wildcat mining men mar
shalled their forces and beat the bill
) by raising the cry that it was a news
paper graft. The defeat of that bill
was a notice to the world that Ne
vada would not protect mining in
vestors. When the Appeal has a lit.
: tie more leisure it will secure the
, roll call on that bill and let the peo.
, pie see who betrayed their interests.

,NOWN HAVE HARD JOB IN HAND

The Churchill Standard is labOrIng
to induce the Reno Journal to retract
some Ease statements made about
land matters in Churchill county
Although it shows that these
charges of land fraud are erroneous
the Journal will not do Churchill
county the justice to admit its mis-
take.
Unfortunately the Journal editor
belongs to that class of newspape'
men who never retract anything
however false it may be.
The Journal editors never had any
real newspaper training and do not
know the ordinary ethics of the pro
feSsiOn.
When they unload a false sta e
ment on the public it is there policy
TO stick to it.
Bull headed, opinionated and un
lSaooHdUit thSs uouAoSl dlOlS SSe',
teriig their miscellaneous aSsOrt
ment of misinfOrmation all over tbs
state and they glory in the fact tha
they never acknowledge they are
wrong.
They are the eXponentS OF sensa
tional journalism in Nevada and would
like TO be known as yellow journ
alists" if they but had the talent tha
goes with that variety.
Aside from raking in all the douSl
they can lay their hands on the.
have no pride in their profession.
They run the paper from the bus
ness office solely.
Any one who objects to their metz
DDS is smothered in abuse and chea
billingsgate.
A favorite scheme of theirs is t
! put some absurd utterance in tn
mouths of their opponents and the
proceed to lambaste the utteranc
: which originated with themselve
! They build man of straw and the
proceed to demolish it. This gam
: however. in an intelligent cOmmunl,

How he Nipped the Seeds from
Campaign Watermelon.

The boys in Mason Valley are tell
ing rather good story on Assembly
man Barney Remus.
Barney takes great pains with his
watermelons and boasts that ne
raises the finest in all the valley.
Last fall he was in San Francisco
and was entertained by some high
rollers The desert partly consisted
of a watermelon from Lodi. Just be-
fore dinner the host had taken the
plug out and poured a quart bottle
of champaign in the hole. BY the
time it had been in the refrigerator
an hour it was about ready to eat.
When Barney got slice of that
fruit his eyes bulged at the flavor,
but he made no comment excep to re-
mark that he raised just as good
melons in Nevada and of as good
favor.
He kept his eye on the remains OF
the melon, howeved, and after dinner
ne SklpDeu Out WHcIS IuC SoON " e~A
and gave him a dollar for the seeds
He has saved them carefully and
arranging to grow a large crop OF
those champaign melons this sum-
mer.

that Barney may not spend too much
