FROM DAILY

This fine weather is sure to bring
on the spring fever.
The big sale of the Seymour
Jacobs Company began this morn
ing and promises to be a success.
Mrs. Ray Harris returned last
night from Quincy. Illinois. where
she went several weeks ago to
attend the funeral of her mother.
Sheriff Terrell landed Cunning
han in the penitentiary yesterday.
Wonder if one of the prison guards
will visit Cunningham cell at
night and leave the prison doors
unlocked.
Mrs . Fred T. poll entertained a
number of her lady friends last
night. Social games and refresh
ments we're the features of the
evening. Those present voted the
evening a success.
Mrs. j. K. Hardman arrived
yesterday from California, where
she spent the winter. and left for
her home at Gold Creek this
morning.
Mr.. Spitzko. representing the
Carpenter Paper Company of Salt
Lake, is in town today.
If any of EIko county's legisla-
tors returned this morning. they
have not show up on the streets.
So far as we know none of them
did anything very bad as law
makers.
What did the legislature do?"
seems to be the leading question
among Il citizens. When we get
a copy of the new laws a lrief
synopsis of each act will be
printed in these columns. Unit
that time it will be impossible to
give an Intelligent answe to the
question. The general opinion
seems'to bethat the recent lie gis-
lature vas about the average of Ne
vada lie legislatures and the character
Of It's work about the same.
Governor Oddie in his veto of his
pet water bill seems to charg e
Ex-Governor Dickerson with
having something to do with the
refusal of the senate to carry out
his policies. Whether his charges
are groundless Or not we do not
know. hut we believe that. if the
governor will read his Reno speech
carefully he will find good reasons
fJr the sanate's action. He thre "
down the gauntlet in that speech
and the democratic senate took it
up. 1t is a simple story with the
governor in the leading part.
The lie VS. that oil has been found
seeoins owe tn. casing in the we'll
drilled at Wsbuska for the new
smelter, is ne VS. calculated to fill
the heart of the Nevadan with
great cheer. If il IS possible to
secure fuel oil in this state, the
possibilities it will open up are
immense. For years there have
been indi ations that oil existed in
the Mason valley. That it can be
reached and developed will be
news even greater than the
discovery Of a new high grade
mine. journal.
To settle the state capitol
proposition, why not put it on
wheels and let each county have it
for q certain term of weeks.
especially during each legislative
session. Such provision would
prevent sectional jealousy. and the
constant recurrence of a capitol
removal quarrel. And the move
ment from pace to place during
the Legislative sessions would come
as a welcome relief to the over
worked solons and the constant
change Of scenery would act az
mental relief md atimnlue apd

Superstitions of Scalpinu.

Indians believe that scalping Is ami
hilation Of the soul; hence the eager
ness Of the Indian to secure the scalp
of bis enemy and save his own scalp.
Deprived of the scalp the body becomes
mere carbon. not even worthy Of bur.
ial. whether or not its removal an

author Of "Our Wild Indians" 1.-THE
Indian Is yet sure that scalp is strong
medicine and equally sure that Its tax.
ing by him will involve consequences
to him either very good or very bad.
and he does not always know which.
An Indian will never take the scalp Of
q colored soldier, nor does he give any
reason for 1t; all to be got out of him
by way of explanation Is. Buffalo sol
der no good; heap bad medicine
Whatever the special religious opinion
Of each Indian In regard to taking the
scalps Of slain enemies, I have never
yet known single case where the
scalp Of suicide was stripped of, and
In many cases the superstition is so
strong as to prevent the Indians even
from touching the body"

Charles Lambs Excuse.

Leadenhall street. London. was for
many years the scene of the daily la
tOrs of Charles Lamb. That Lamb.
despite his many complaints. appears
to have had a fairly easy time at the
East India house Is evident from a
story told by AlgernOn Black in Mac
millan's Magazine for February. 1879
One morning he was observed TO en-
ter the office hastily and In an ex
cited manner. assumed no doubt for
the occasion, to leave by an opposite
door. He appeared no more that day.
He stated the next morning In expla-
nation that as he was passing through
Leadenhall market on his way to the
Office he accidentally trod on a butch
er's heel. 4 apologized.' said Lamb,
to the butcher. but the latter retort-
ed: "Yes. but your excuses won't cure
my broken heel, and, - me-" said he,
selling his knife. "T'll have It out of
your
Lamb fed from the butcher and. In
dread Of his pursuit. dared not remain
for the rest of the day at the India
house. This story was accepted as o
humorous excuse for taking a holiday
without leave"
