She loved j. William HOOPER,:
Who in the village meath the hill
Pursued the trade of cooper.
They'd loved each other for year.
nelr love was smoothly running;
And neither had the least idea
Ihat death would come a-gunning.
Twas midnight of Sunday night
me twain had been accounting;
ana squeezing hands. as lovers do,
ana otnerWlSe cavorting.
When William started for his home.
A fond goodnight" a-calling;
And as he called the soft winds sighed,
ana dew like tears was falling.
In climbing DER a six-rail fence.
j. William struck silver;
me SILVER caught his trousers, and
"A saso-a shout-a SILVER.
He called for help. but called in vain.
NO one was near to hear him:
No friendly hand to boost him up-
NO tongue to gladly cheer him
HIS head was down-his heels were up
Alas, the sad position!
NO lover e'er before was placed
IN such a sad condition.
And thus J. William met his doom.
AlQ mus his life was ended;
ana thus they found his body cold
From that ere fence suspended.
oh. lovers take a tip from me
Keep off of six-rail fences;
LOOK out for slivers as you climb,
Or take the consequences.

SkAGGS FLAYS JAMES NEvIN
Says Collector Has a Snap and
the CRATER Should Be
Ousted at Once

III there ever was graft in the
State of Nevada" asserted Speaker
Skaggs on the floor Of the Assembly
last week during the discussion of the
bill to abolish the position of Bullion
Tax Collector. cit is in this soft snap
created for James Nevin. The Board
of Revenue Collectors can gather in the
taxes ON the mines, aud the county
officials can collect the saloon licenses,
which are the duties required and un-
fulfilled by Nevin."
The measure was laid over on a
special order until Wednesday when it
will be fought ont. The speaker con-
tinued.
THE Office holder has no power. He
can enforce no laws made to aid in the
collection of the revenues.
"The job is a graft. The people of
the Stale are crying out against il.
The people of the State are sick Of be-
ing feeced by the salary paid to the
worthless official. The bill creating
the place was one of the most infamous
measures ever passed by the Legislature
Of Nevada. The people of the State
have said this; and the people tell the
truth. Let this Assembly 60 on record
as honest and abolish the position.
There is mine operating in my
o.. roara Navi, Aid not ool
lect the taxes on it. Similar instances
of omission of performance of duty
have been reported from many parts OF
thu State"
Skaggs had hardly ended his speech
before Assemblyman Folsom of Wa.
shoe County was on the floor asking
that the bill to abolish the Office OF
Bullion Tax Collector be reported back
unfavorably.
Sam Davis took the floor to oppose
the Act. and he showed that the re.
venue of the State has been increased
since Nevin was appointed to fill the
place. He showed that Nevin has
acted always with the best intentions.
and has really brought thousands OF
dollars into the treasury.
But the advantage won by Davis for
Nevin was seemingly lost when As
semblyman Duborg took the floor and
asserted that the increased revenue
quoted by Davis was really procured
from the liquor licenses. He said that
the place was useless, and one that
should be abolished by every one who
has the best interests Of the State at
heart.
