FIGHTING FOREST RESERVE
Eureka Live Stock Co. Attacks Right to
Set Aside Grazing Lands

Carson City. Nevada. Sept. 10.-One
of the most important suits filed in
Nevada in years is now being argued in
the Federal court here, the suit attack.
ing the right Of President Roosevelt and
others to set aside timber lands as forest
reservations under an Act Of Congress
making such provision. The suit is that
Of the Eureka Live Stock Company
against President Roosevelt, Secretary
Of Agriculture Wilson. Chief Forester
Pinchot and Forester Barnett. and is the
first suit of the kind ever brought in
the country. The case was argued
yesterday in the Federal court before
Judge Harrington and the argument
will be concluded tomorrow.
The forest reservation involved is
known as the Monitor Forest Reserve
and is mostly located in Eureka Coun-
ty, this State. The plaintiff company
states in its complaint that when the
President and subordinates set the
territory aside as a forest reserve. it.
the company. was grazing 5000 theep
on the land, and that now the forestry
department refuses TO allow them to
continue to do so, threatening to con-
fiscate the sheep if the company per.
sists in such action. The plaintiff
then sets out that the land in question
is more valuable for agricultural and
mineral purposes than for timber land.
and therefore it could not be SO set
aside

ceased, of which | am the administrator.
The News stated that I paid out $1,000.
As Mr.. McDougal was a man who had
not run IN debt for IL years prior to his
death, many people wondered what

is. l paid out but 1880. GA during the IS
months previous to Mrs. McDougal
bringing action iu court. OF this sum
the widow received $433; II. X. Mitchell.
Esq. $269.50; Willie Thomas $33. Sc;
burial tombstone and grave fence $210
The balance of the S1950.64 was used
for court and general expenses in
settling up the estate. The total amount
l collected was $1,000.
l have been asked by many why l Z did
not continue in my effort to be appointed
guardian of the boy, Willie Thomas.
Regarding that will say l did not want
to expose in court the shameful way
Mrs. McDougal had treated the boy.
| did not want the boy personally with
me.

THE ASSASSINATION IN LISBON.

Again the world is shocked by the assassination of a ruler. The killing of King Carlos and the Crown Prince of Portugal was open and bold. Portu- gal has been disturbed for a long time, though her disturbance has not figured largely in the daily news. The murdered King, who mounted the throne in October 1889, was hy some looked on as a usurper and there was immediate and continued opposition to his management by those who were in favor of Republican form of gov ernment and also hy the Socialists and Anarchists His opponents succeeded Tn hamperins him so that he couldn't even get the necessary appropriations made to carry on the government Finally about a year ago he issued a decree suspending the Constitution and proclaimed Joao Ferreira Franco 
 one of the Liberal, though not Repub- lican. factions, dictator of the realm Franco was strong man and has sue ceeded in holding his own and the Kings own until now some of the revolutionaries have assassinated the King.
 What next for poor Portugal? More and sterner repression, or such concessions" as will prevent more murder? "The people" in Portugal ap- pear to be almost as much dissatisfied as the people in Russia arc and with apparently much less reason. But these are days when almost anything can be expected anywhere.

THE NEGRO IN PHILADELPHIA.

As Philadelphia is the City of Brotherly Love, it should not be sur prising that the negro man and broth CT has done and is doing well there. It is revealed that Philadelphia now has a negro population of S5,000. an increase of 20,000 since the census of 1900, larger colored population than many negroes as Baltimore. Washing ton or New Orleans. Eight years ago there were 20.O95 negro voters in Philadelphia. of whom only 2,1a0 were illiterate The number of negro homes was 12206 of which only 1Sa were free of all encumhrances OnN S5,223 of the total negro population
 were engaged in regular labor, and of this number 2,645 were employed in personal and domestic service. There are so coloTed churches in the town. with a total membership of about -S.- 900 The negroes also in Philadelphia have 46 secret society lodges. two reg uarly authorized Grand Army posts. two camps of the Sons of Veterans. four political clubs. all Republican. g6 social, beneficial and industrial spci- cities. foul literary associations.

HONOR FOR \ PROPHET.

As a prophet should not be without honor in his own State, if gives us pleasure to give Prophet Johnson what honor belongs to him on account of the weather performances of Saturday and Saturday night. It may be remem- bered, and if it isn't we will call atten- tion to it, that Prophet Johnson pre- dicted that from the 17th to the 18th of January there would be what should be termed an intermediate dis turbance" The intermediate disturb ance consisted of the most charming weather He further predicted that from the 2ith to the 26th of January there would be "a local disturbance of little account" To put it mildly, his description of what happened then was not recognized as strictly accur- ate. The prediction for the period from the 30th of January to the ith Of February was that there would be "a very general disturbance. Be pre- pared for great winter storm. ' There was pretty large storm Satur- day, and it was in the winter, so per haps Prophet Johnson should be cred ited with it. Tomorrow will he the 4th of February, and something more that can be credited to him may hap pen If it does, we shall he glad to credit it to him.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

4 judge in Toledo named Austin has shown uncommon curiosity. He has sentenced himself to a day in jail Judge Austin will insist that he be treated in every way like common criminal, going to the workhouse Tn the patrol wagon with the other pris- oners, eating the. food and doing the work that they do, and sleeping in an ordinary cell
 Judge Austin thinks this experience will aid him in "dispensing" justice It will, or. at least, it ought to. Many judges who deal with the criminal and the unfortunate know altogether too little about them and about the tails they go to, The result is lot of cruel and ignorant injustice, which might be avoided with more feeling and more knowledge. If Judge Austin's experience in jail doesn't happen to teach him all it ought to we hope 1t will teach him that it isn't real timely wit to make jokes while trying and sentencing the wretches who come be- fore him

Why Tigers Caw't Climb.

The tale is of the Tiger and his Aunt
 who is the Cat: They dwolt among the iungles in the
 shade of Ararat The Cat was very clever but the Tlger,
 he was slow. He couldn't catch the Nilghau or the
 heavy Bufalo His claws were long and pointed, but
 his wit was short and blunt; He begged his wise Relation to instruct
 him how to hunt The Cat on velvet pattens stole along
 the quiet hill. Now this shc whispered Nephew, is
 the way to stalk your kill. The Cat drew up her launches on the
 messy forest couch, And this she said, my Nephew, is
 the proper way to crouch. She hurtled through the shadows like
 missile from a sling; Aud that my loving Nephew, IS the
 only way to spring Oh. hungry was tho Nephew and the
 Aunt was sleek and plump The Tiger at his Teacher made his
 hrst apprentice jump; He did il very ably. but the Fuss. more
 quick than he. Escaped his clutchiug talons and ran
 un q cedar tree To purr upon the Snarlar from tho
 hough on which she sat, How glad am. my Nephew. that l
 didn't teach you that And since that curtailed lesson in the
 rudiments If crime. No enterprisiug Tiger has discovered
