OPIUM FIENDs SENTENCED.

The attention of the justice court
has been occupied the past week in
disposing of the quintette of opium
fiends, who were captured together
with the dope and paraphernalia, in
a raid by officers of a house in the
restricted district, on the morning of
May 81. An unusual feature of the
case, was the demand by the respon-
dents for a jury trial, and Madge Will
son was the first one thus tried, her
case being heard Wednesday. She
was found guilty with a recommends
ton from the jury for extreme leni-
ency, and was subsequently fined
500, with costs taxed at $11.S5 or a
total of $31.S5.
Thursday, j.. E. Coleman and E.
NJ. Lancaster, two other suspects
captured in the raid, simplified the
situation by entering a plea of guilty
to the offense of fr~equenting a re-
sort with the intention of smoking
opium, and were fined $40 and costs,
each, which was paid and the respon-
dents and their bondsmen released.
The case of Charles Hagenback
and Bessie Moore, were continued.
Hagenback had pleaded guilty to
having opium and smoking
les in his possession, and Justice
Cartwright deferred sentence until
later.
Bessie Moore, the first of the cap
ture to be brough before the court,
following the raid, was granted a new
trial on technical grounds.

SENATOR NIXON'S DEATH
A LOSS TO NEVADA

The announcement of the death
of Senator George S. Nixon was a
shock to the citizens of Nevada, al
most overwhelming in suddenness
and import. Word of his critical
Illness and the news within a few
hours of his passing were so closely
associated, that the public mind had
little time to fully realize the situa-
ton, and that the senator's life
work was done. His death is a loss
to the state which at present cannot
be fully comprehended. To be
sure, his affairs are left in such
order that many things in connec-
tion with his large business inter
ests will go on as he had previously
planned, but the guiding influence
of his strong and inspiring living
personality will be lacking.
Senator Nixon was a man worthy
of emulation and his life should
serve as an example and inspiration,
particularly to the young man who
Is starting his career under what
may seem adverse conditions. SEN
ator Nixon started handicapped by
both poverty and the lack of edu-
cation, but he possessed those quail
tiles of character that enabled him
~ nunraonn nhcfoalaC that Athnr
wise would have barred his way to
the goal he eventually attained. His
ideals were of the right sort and his
love for mankind and his enjoyment
of life were not polluted and warp
ed by the greed of personal gain.
When riches came his way it was not
by sacrificing others interests and
rights, and he employed his wealth
in a manne to give enjoyment and
assistance to those about him. Ne
vada has had ample proof of this.
With him integrity vas a militant
characteristic and his public life, de-
voted to the interests of the general
good, was as clean as his private
life. He was not ostentatious in his
methods, but he held the confidence
of all with whom he had dealings,
and his quiet and unassuming nature
became a power that accomplished
results. 1t will be difficult to fill his
place, but the record of his life will
constitute a lasting memorial that
will keep alive good influences, in
state and national affairs.

POINT THAT ATTRACTED HIM
Vegetarian Dinners Had at Least One
Good Idea That He Could
Appreciate.

After steadfastly declining many
invitations to public dinners a man
astonished his friends by attending
three vegetarian dinners.
"Are you convert?" they asked.
Il am not" said the man. II go be-
cause the vegetarians have one GUS
tom that deserves to be encouraged.
Their speechmaking precedes the din
ner. Anyhow, it did at the three din
ners I attended. That is a most CON-
mendable custom. 1t ought to be
adopted at all dinners. Everybody is
in a hurry to begin eating, and they
don't take time to meander through a
lot of dull speeches. ..t..,5 .s
ST don't know why the vegetarians
reversed the usual order. None Of
them that I asked could tell. Person
ally, 1 think it is because they are SO
anxious to get away and order a
square meal somewhere after their ap-
petites have been whetted by their
own little snack that they can't wait
for the speaking. / may be wrong.
But the speeches are put out of the
way first. That is the main thing"

Device for Smoothing Soil Before
Seeding.

that will not exhaust the high fertiI-
fly necessary to onions. Continuous
cropping with onions will cause the
land to become diseased and filled
with insect enemies.
One OF the most important things
In onion-culture is to mix the fertilizer
with the soil well. On land that is not
thoroughly drained, pillow In beds, leay-
ing double furrow between the beds
to carry off surplus water. These
beds may be 10 to $50 feet In width.
The disc-harrow puts the land in
fine condition after 1t has been thor
oughly plowed In the fall. For finish
ing the soil a tool is now made, which
when drawn over the ground will I'LL
and obliterate all tracks, leaving the
surface smooth and even, and in fine
condition for either seed or trans
planting.
The feeding-roots of the onion run
close to the surface, and should not be
disturbed by deep cultivation. After
a rain, break up the surface OF the
soil by means OF a steel rake. AS
soon as the plants are growing well,
the cultivator should be started and
kept going, In order to keep the soil
in good condition, and to prevent
weeds.
The single wheel-hoe is an excellent
tool for this purpose. Some OF the
large growers near Chicago have
adopted hoe stock, consisting Of a
