ITS THE WHOLE OF
NEVADA'S FIGHT

Merchants i'll every town in Nevada
should render all possible assistance, to
the merchants of Reno in the effort to
gain terminal railroad rates for the
State of Nevada The cause is just in
principle and if the issue succeeds be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. will mean much for the
material prosperity of the state.
Reno cannot become the Denver of
Nevada in any serious sense SD long
as her merchants are compelled to pay
freight to Sacramento and return over
the Sierras on all merchandise The
people of the interior towns; the con-
sumers who buy their supplies from
the merchants in the interior towns are
the ones on whom this absurd freight
burden ultimately falls. The people
all over Nevada should lend hand in
this fight.
The merchants of San Francisco
have gone into the fight on the side of
the railroad These Coast merchants
admit that Nevada is unjustly dis
eliminated against by the railroad.
They claim however that they will
keep more trade with Nevada by assist
ing the fight for the perpetuation of
this injustice.
What does Nevada say? What does
the Nevada consumers say? What do
the Nevada interior merchant say?
The mere cutting out of excessive
and unfair freight rates is not the sole
benefit that will he drived from the
success of this Reno movement. With
victory for Reno, no doubt there are
wholesale houses in San Francisco and
Sacramento that would open houses in
Reno to hold their present trade with
the southern country. No doubt there
would be wholesale and jobbing firms
from other towns that would locate at
Reno. 1t is certain that present Reno
commercial houses would vastly in
crease their stocks and expand their
opcrationss. This would mean that
Reno would become an inter-mountain
metropolis. This in turn would mean
cheaper living for every family and for
every working man in the state.
But that is not all. Reno would be-
come better market for all the pro-
ducts of Nevada ranchers.
The fight for terminal rates in New
ada Is of Importance to everyone in
the state. -AuStin Reveille.

FORFEITS FOR BURNS FIGHT UP
ROche's BacEers Place $4,000 With
the London Sporting Life.

New York. March 6.-All of the
forfeits have been put up to govern
the fight between Tommy Burns and
Jem Roche at Dublin, March IT.
Roche's hackers have placed $4,000
with the Sporting Life of London,
which will appoint the referee and
timekeepers. Burns is giving odds
that he will knock the alleged Irish
champion out in less than six rounds.
Those who have seen Roche at his
training quarters say that he is one of
those big, beefy fellows who can never
be made fit and that he is lacking in
all the important qualities of a first
class pugilist.
Burns has given UP hope Of Undue
ing Jack johnson to fight him in
England and says that if there is no
chance to fight somebody in Paris for
$4,000 he will sail for this country
on April 1. When he arrives. Burns
declares, he will make a match with
Johnson and will agree to any club
that offers the biggest purse. When
johnson heard this news yesterday he
said that he would wait patiently for
Burns return and would then accept
any reasonable terms

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The Money Was Bright and
Shiny and of 1883 Coinage.
Very Much Resembled the Ones
Recently Circulated in lola.

Humboldt Kan, March 6.-After an
exciting. chase here, a negro, believed
to be the person who passed two coun-
terfeit dollars on clerk in the Cook
sey drug store, escaped and there is
no clue to his VIII ereabouts.
Early in the evening the negro en-
tered the drug store and asked for
five cents worth of capsules. A clerk
put up the order and the negro threw
down a bright silver dollar in pay
ment for the purchase. He was given
the change after which he departed.
Within a few moments the negro
came to the drug store again. This
time he asked for five cents worth of
blue vitriol. The clerk filed the order
and again the negro threw down a
bright silver dollar in payment. This
seemed suspicious TO the cierK; he
knew the negro had the right change
to tender if he so desired and as quick
" as the dusky customer went out the
clerk made an investigation. 1t was
found that the two silver dollars pass
ed by the negro were counterfeit Inc
coins were short weight and that fact
alone served to show that they were
bogus.
The dollars were bright and shining
and were of the coinage of 1883, being
very similar to those passed in lola
several days ago.
When the clerk at the drug store
found that the coins were bogus. he

A TAX WARRANT FOR $4,000.
Cherokee County Gets a Tidy Sum
From the Frisco.

e Columbus, March 6.-The personal
tax warrant issued by the county treas
urer to Sheriff Hatton for serving
against the property of the Frisco rail-
road, in Cherokee county, was the
largest ever issued in the state and
probably the United States.
The amount which the warrant called
for from the company was $44,237.4 Al and
when the warrant was served on Tax
Commissioner Booth, of the Frisco
company, it was paid without prelim-
mary.
Sheriff Hatton did rot find it neces-
sary to attach any of the property al
though this would have probably been
done had it not been paid when 1t was.
A check was issued for the amount,
including some other real estate tax,
which caused the check to be consid-
cradle larger.
If the company had paid its taxes
when due. it would have saved 2,211S0
owing to the fact that it waited too
long to save a rebate of 81, 1858. but
instead, had the same amount added to
the tax, as a penalty. The pickup for
the county was So, 317.79.

THUNDER RAISED THE BODY.
Father of the Kiclxapoo Orphans
Found Floating in the River.

Leavenworth, March Gladly decom-
posed, but with his clothes intact and
holding his watch, the body of Frank
Hill, one of the seven men who were
drowned near Kickapoo the last of jan
uary, while employed by the Kansas
Natural Gas company. was found We'd
nesday afternoon by o. NJ. Thorton and
L. J. Shields. The body was floating in
the river about two miles from where
the men were drowned.
1T is believed the heavy thunder which
took place about noon caused the body
to rise. and working on this theory the
gas company has detailed two men to
search the river between Kickapoo and
Leavenworth in hopes that other bodies
may be found floating. However, should
the bodies be buried in the sand they
would not rise.
The six orphan children Of the Hill
family went to the grave yesterday but
because the launch got fastened on a
sand bar the body was delayed in burial
and the children returned to their homes
before the body reached the grave yard.
The children, ranging in age from five
to fifteen years, are still at the Hill
home and are being supported from a
fund donated by the neighbors.

first baseman in the league. Last
year with the Reds he demonstrated
his ability SO strongly that he was
chosen to lead Cincinnati to the front
this year. Cincinnati has been down
so long that few expect them to win
the pennant this year, but CAMEL
hopes to place the Reds well UP to-
ward the top. No trades have been
made with any big teams this year,
but Rudy Hulswitt has been signed at
shortstop and it is expected Hans

sack. This will materially strengthen
