eoI-TH IS UNWILLING TO BE
BURDENED FOR FRAUDS
OTHERS COMMIT.
Farmer Would Pay Endless Tax

-, Cotton Trade Journal Says
southern Trade Has Shown In
o,iration to Cooperate With Eu-
,onean Merchants to Provide
.aainst Losses, But Does Not Feel
called Upon to Pay Endless Tax
,ftar Railroads and Bankers Have
Refused to Be COllared.
Tt is particularly unfortunate
.bo+ the efforts to provide against
- imaginary evil in the cotton bus
;,oss has at last taken turn which
,ooms to be manifestly unjust to the
.binners. exporters and farmers, who
NAV be called on to pay penalties
for corduct for which they are alb
soIutely not accountable" said Ju-
line A Nelson editor of the Cotton
Trade Journal to reporter for the
Savannah News.
"The proposed action to collect
foes for the certification or guaran-
tnaing of cotton bills of lading
which would amount to a direct tax
against every person in the south
who handle cotton, will not GER
tainly be assumed willingly. with tie
general trade feeling an entire lack
of responsibility for certain losses of
foreign firms who paid drafts IN
fraudulent ladings.
"While not yet requested to do
50. the southern cotton trade has
shown an inclination to cooperate
with European merchants to provide
against loses of any description. but
they will not feel, because a firm
at Decatur and another at Cornith
failed. that the whole South is to
be loaded with a punitive tax for all
time.
Modified General Willingness.
1T is probable that the present
proposed guarantee tax against the
south has modified the general will
ingness and desire in all states to
cooperate for the success of any
broad movement to prevent frauds
of any description, because those
who have to this time had in charge
the finding and application of a pen
atty appear willing to impose such
penalty on victims wherever found
who may lack courage to resist.
Efforts were first made to collar
the railroad, then overtures follow
ed to the banks for guarantees of
the integrity of all cotton ladings
handled by them. and while the rail
roads and the banks have not as
sumed such responsibility the plan
now appears to be straight pass for
the pockets of the farmers, for the
money paid to a guarantee COM
pany would be figured from the
price paid the farmer.
While the farmer is not re-
spOnsible for losses incurred in
handling cotton after it leaves his
hands, he nevertheless may be called
on to pay an endless tax because
frauds were committed by others.
The premises appear to be that two
firms in the cotton business comit-
ted frauds, that farmers grow cot
ton, and that therefore all cotton
farmers in the United States shall
be heavily taxed. And as to the
Shippers and exporters in all states
II might be reasoned that two of
their number committed wrongs,
mat others happened to be engaged
IN the same line of business and,
therefore, being so engaged, all

KILLED Their STOLEN Hl1SES

Shelf Clark has received letter
from Deputy Sheriff Grimm at
Contact stating that he was in
formed several days ago that 25
horses had been killed and buried
in ravine near San Jacinto, near
where the Indians killed the white
boy several weeks ago, and that
he had been to the place and found
the report true. 1t is Mr.. Grimm's
opinion that after the Indians killed
the boy they drove the stolen
horses they had in the corral when
discovered to this rayine and shot
them and covered them with
shallow layer Of dirt. Also that the
Indian who was shot at the time was
killed and buried with the horses.
The stencil from the dead horses
was so great that Mr.. Grimm could
net get near enough to make
thorough investigation. He also
wrote that nothing had been heard
from the Indians who killed the
boy and made their escape.

WIRELESS FGR mining CAMPS

A. G. Raycraft, president of the
Dexter company, arrived in camp
on Wednesday and is stopping at
hisquarters in the Dexter building.
While in Manhattan this time Mr..
Raycraft will perfect the install
lation of the apparatusfor his wire
less telegraph station, and it is
likely that in very short time
messages will be flashing between
here and the station at Tonopah.
At the latter camp the instruments
have been installed and the staff
erected, and messages sent out with
the hope of getting in communities
ton with some of the wireless
stations ON the coast. At Tonopah
Mr.. Raycraft encountered con-
siderable trouble with an arc at
the sub-station of the power COM
pany, near his home, and it is
believed that the dispatches were
arrested there. After an investi-
cation is made and this proves to
be the case, the Tonopah station will
be removed to some remote part of
the town. In Manhattan the ap-
paratus and staff have been in
place for several months, but no
messages were dispatched, as the
station at Tonopah was not in
readiness to receive messages.
Mr.. Raycraft believes that his
instruments are capable of trans
hitting messages to the coast,
distance of 500 miles, and states
that messages sent from the coast
cab be picked up here. The local
office of the wireless is in the
Dexter building on the second floor.
Mr.. Raycraft is an old-time
telegrapher and is quite handy with
the kys.-Manhattan Mail.

SIX DRINKS

A Chicago physician has, by
careful experiments shown that six
ordinary drinks of whiskey, taken
atinterva's during the day, produce
the same sense of fatigue as
days hard labor. This IS important
as showing the folly of the notion
entertained by some that whiskey
can help them to achievement.
But the physician might have gone
further, says the Atchison Globe,
and shown the damage done by the
whiskey is not as quickly overcome
by a good nights rest as the fatigue
resulting from days work. The
man who depends on Uhiskey to
help him on his way will find
the six drinks must be increased 10
seven, eight to ten if the desire d
stimulant is to be obtained, and in
the end he takes too much, and
goes to the devil and to Jail. The
man who simply works must get
tired, but he gets over it, gets
stronger, and becomes a better
workman. And incidentally, he
saves the price of the six drinks, or
seven, or ten, for better invest
ment.

BANK RECEIVER IS
SUING DIRECTORS

The trial of one of the most
interesting and important law suits
in the history of the state was
begun this in the district court at
Carson City before Judge Langan.
The action was brought by Frank
Wildes, receiver of the State Bank
and Trust company, against the
directors of the defunct institution,
Messrs. T. B. Hickey, C. T. Bender
George Mapes, j. P. Woodbury.,
George Meyers, DR.. S. L. Lee, P.
H. Peterson and Wilson Brougher.
Receiver Wildes asked for an &C.
counting for about 81, 100000 of
the assets of the bank, the loss of
which is alleged to have caused the
suspension of the institution.
The complaint filed by Receiver
Wildes charges the directors with
both misfeasance and malfeasance
in office, charging specifically
violations of the bylaws of the
corporation and of the banking laws
of the state, also trading in accounts
AM irregular transfers of securities,
making loans in careless and un
business like fashion and the erection
of 100000 banking building in
Tonopah, when one costing $4,000
would have sufficed. Receiver
Wildes alleges that at least four
dividends were lost to depositors
through these actions by the
directors-Gazette.

THIS IS WORTH KNOWING

Here is recipe which is worth
knowing. This summer when YOU
have a surplus of cucumbers or
when they are cheap, lay down a
half bushel or so for the winter
and you will have cuclmbers all
winter nearly as good as those
picked frc1h from the vines. Pear
the cucumbers and slice them up
the same as you would for table use.
In a good sized crock put first a
layer of salt an inch or so in
thickness, and then a layer of
cucumbers, and continue this until
the crock is filled or until you have
as many put down as you think you
need. Do not-put in any water as
the cucumbers will make their own
brine. When you want to use some
of the cucumbers for the table or
salads, take out the required amount
and freshen for two or three hours.
The writer put down a crockful in
this way last fall and used the last
of them last week.-Exchange.

A GAME OF BILL

Nothing has set America so high
in the estimation of foreign nations,
says Ellis Parker Butler in Success
Magazine, as the adoption of base
ball as the national sport. If a
foreign spy Wanders into Ameri ca
seeking to fathom our real inward
ness and sees a game of baseball
any feeling of contempt for our
newness gives way instantly to
a awetruck admiration. At his first
glance baseball is to him a mystery,
and it remains mystery to him.
He sees 10000 men and women
suffering the tortures of the lower
regions on hot grand stands. He
sees a man pick up a small white
ball as hard as a pine knot. Facing
him is another who holds a smooth
but deadly club in his hands.
Behind this second man is third
man whose face is hidden by a
birdcage. Suddenly the man with
the ball raises one foot in the air
and shows the man with the bat
the sole of his shoe. The man at
the bat sees that there are spikes IN
he sole of the shoe, and it Anglers
him, and he raises his bat to throw
it at the man with the ball. But
an, hal the man with the ball is
too quick for him. He throws the
hard, white ball at theman with the
bat with all his strength. The man
with the bat waves defiance by
swinging the bat in the air. The
ball proceeds. The batsman never
finches! Will the ball kill the man
or will the impact crush the ball?
But, see! The ball is panic stricken:
the ball lodges around the man;
the ball is lost, buried in the huge
leather chair cushion that covers
the hand of the birdcage man behind
the batsman! "Strike one" says
the umpire. Thirty thousand
cheers! Why?

SENATORIAL COURTESY

In a debate on an amendment to
the railroad rate bill, offered by
Senator La Toilette the other day,
the following hot passage at arms
took place beween him and Senator
Sutherland of Yah:
Mr.. La Toilette. I assume, and
think / have a right to assume, that
this courtwill not act without it
being determined by the court that
upon the showing made the
property of the shipper or the pro-
Queer is subject to a rate which
amounts to a confiscation of that
property.
Mr.. Sutherland. But the point
| make is that the court will have
to take evidence upon that subject.
Mr.La Toilette. The court will
not make a decision until it has
taken the evidence.
Mr.. Sutherland. Certainly not.
Mr.. La Toilette. And it will not
act unadvisedly; and simply want
the public to have an opportunity
to get into this court, which it has
to pay for, and not have it made
entirely, as some Senators here
seem to desire, a court for the
railroads.
Mr.. Sutherland. I do not know
what the Senator means by that.
Mr.. La Toilette. My language
is plain enough.
Mr.. Sutherland. If the Senator
means that / desire that this court
of commerce shall be made court
only for the railroads, the Senator
is mistaken; that is all.
Mr.. La Toilette l leave the
Senator to his record on that.
Mr.. Sutherland. Yes; and the
Senator will defend his record
wherever it may be attacked.
Mr.. La Toilette. He will have
an opportunity, l have no doubt.
Mr.. Sutherland. The Senator
has had the opportunity.

very we'll responded to.

welcome. l am perfectly willin &

ABOUT THE HAIR.

Are American women going tu keep on demanding more and more hair to pile on their heads until they looI, like the women of Borneo? It is not uncomfortable in cool weather to wear twice or three times as much hair as nature gave. but what about the hot days? There are many dainty ways of arranging the hair. but women fear to adopt them. even for comfort s sake. for fear it will appear out of style and that their hair will look queer" It seems natural that q wom- an with scanty locks should wish to add to her slender stock but the or 'namcntal cultures of such tremendous proportions do not represent good taste and the discomfort is realiZed by all.
