Marriages Less Polite Then.

number of 265 were taken out at
the city hall on the last day of May.
Even the hard-headed, unromantic
Romans set down June as the best
month of the year in which to get
married. Neither the Middle Ages
nor modern times have meddled with
the belief that June marriages are
the happiest. We have, however,
thrown overheard the love-philters.
invocations, mummeries and horse
play that made the marriage cere-
mony of old anything buta decorous
occasion for principals or guests.
The matrimonial contract today is a
thousand times more polite. 1t has
lost the engaging frankness of its
medieval originals.
In the good old days, when the
bride was taken for fairer, for
fouler, for better, for worse" and
promised TO be buxom and bonny"
to her husband, her father gave the
bridegroom one of the brides shoes
as a token of the transfer of au-
thority. The bride was made to feel
the change by a blow on the head
administered with the shoe. How
much more significant and eloquent
a use of the article than our re-
fined" custom of throwing it after
the carriage! The husband took oath
to treat his wife well, in failure OF
which she might leave him. AS a
point of honor, however, he was al
lowed to bestow on his wife and
apprentices moderate castigation."
An old Welsh law lays it down that
three blows with a broomstick on
any part of the person except the
head is fair allowance" while an
other provides that the stick be
not longer than the husbands arm
nor thicker than his middle finger"
The bride, however. had her priv
ileges. In certain countries it was
her accepted right, the morning af-
ter the wedding day, to ask for any
sum of money or any estate that she
pleased. and her husband could not
in honor refuse. A man had to be
pretty sure of his brides "inten-
tions'' to run such a risk.
These old-time marriages were
often hard-driven bargains, which
unblushingly displayed a good deal
of unlovely human selfshness. Yet
the rough June knots that were tied
a thousand years ago held faster
than many of the be-ribboned and
be-jeweled bonds we so genteelly ad-
lust to-day.-New York World.

As It Is Arranged

idea to get over as much OF the town
in one day as possible and do it right.
Those having teams to donate are
asked to leave their names at head
quarters. as the committee is anxious
to have the refuse and dirt hauled
away as fast as possible.
1t is hoped by this plan to do away
with the complaints that came about
last year when number of residents
were overlooked by the teamsters. 1t
was not the particular fault of any one
but seemed to be an oversight and the
dirt was finally removed by private
individuals.
The fact that the town is to make
it a holiday is something. This spare
time will do as much good as full
day of business, as it will make Car
son take on cleaner and better ap-
pearance. The example followed the
past two years is worth the effort
Other Nevada towns are in the line
of such work and i'll several cases the
statement has been made that it has
diminished the number of flies amaz-
ingly and that epidemics, where town
cleanings are held, are almost un-
known. Dig out the old corners to-
morrow and see that the rubbish hits
the trash pile.
On account of the lack of rains and
floods this season, the two open sew
ers which run through the city. one
down Telegraph Street and the other
on Third Street, have not been flushed
and it would be an excellent idea if
possible. to turn good head of water
down these open sewers during the
day and thoroughly flush thenr They
certainly need it.

Beet Sugar Man Here
To Discuss The Tariff
Presents His Side of the Question
And Has Some Good Argument

tops were excellent fodder and they
are using this refuse, which is waste
in sections where the farmers are not
educated up to the uses OF the ma
terial Mr. Brock stated that he spent
the most OF last summer in the Cen
trail states endeavoring to show the
farmers the benefits of the pulps and
tops from the factories and only met
with partial success.
His contention is that Spreckle>
and the cane sugar men who are tav-
oring free sugar simply wish to fatten
their own pockets, drive out the beet
men and the people will get no benefit
under the program. He further in
sists that the managers of the Fallon
factory want and need the protection.
Mr. Brock states that he is employ
ed by the Palmer people, who repre-
sent the beet men. and that he is here
to interest the people i'll an industry
that needs protection.
Since the Appeal has advocated free
sugar, free wool. free beef and no
duty on any commodity that the peo-
pie use and need, the gentleman has
asked that he be treated fair on his
side of the question. AS first stated
he has a good, clean argument and is
entitled to be heard on the subject.
He will spend several days in this
city where he can talk over the matter
with people who are believed to have
some influence with the Senators from
this State He is a student in the
business and has figures at his
tongues tip, and statistics by the yard.
We are in hopes he will meet Sam
Belford and the two will undoubtedly
spend about a week telling what they
know OF the tariff

POPULAR COUPLE
ARE Welded

This morning at o'clock at the
home of Mr. and Mrs n Wylie, Miss
Laura F. Wyie became the wife of
Frank S. Cliff, one of Carson's pros
porous business men, Rev. Hornaday
performing the ceremony. Only the
relatives and a few intimate friends
attended the event.
Both parties are we'll known Car
sonites. The bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. \. Wylie and has prac-
tically spent her life in this city.
Friends are counted by the score for
this young woman. Mr. Cliff, who has
been in business in this city for many
years and is regarded as one of the
substantial citizens.
The happy couple left this morning
on the motor for Reno where they
will take a train for California, where
several weeks will be spent before re-
turning to the Cliff home where they
will take up their permanent resi-
dence. The Appeal joins with the
many friends in extending congratu-
lations

That the Democratic agitation on
free sugar has caused some people to
take notice is apparent when Mr.. }.
A. Brock, a representative OF the I'm
tied State Beet Growers Association,
comes to town to talk over the situa-
ton with the newspaperman and the
layman. Mr.. Brock is here in the in
terests of the beet growing side of the
sugar question. He has long and
good line of argument for his side of
the question, against free sugar with
the threeyear limit.
He is carrying with him the work of
the sugar beet men, who object TO be
put on a competitive line with the cane
men, and his argument to the layman
carries some weight He insists that
should sugar go on the free list the
Cuban product would in a large meas
ure drive the beet manufacturing
plants out OF business. lie further
states that this comes about for two
reasons First that the competition
in labor as between the Islanders and
the American wont stand, as the Is
landers work for less, and that cane is
more productive at less expense than
bects. That the Cuban section can
produce far more In quantity than at
present and the opening OF a free mar
ket or no tariff would put some of
the beet plants out of business.
In regard to the Nevada plant at
Fallon he believes that the State
needs the assistance of protection. He
admits and states that the Nevada
plant can afford to pay more per ton
for beets than most of the other
plants, as the SUGAR contained in the
bcets is far in excess OF other sec
tions. The farmers of Nevada were
quick to realize that the pulp and

, looked up to the sky and saw the
tleecy clouds through which the sun
shine of a perfect day filtered down
. upon the scene.
He then looked the spectators over
and must have noticed that some Of
the friends and relatives OF the man
he stabbed to death just a year ago
to-day. were there to see him die.
Presently a voice called out from
the shed in slow and measured tones ::
Make ready. Take aim!" There
was 4 few seconds pause and again
the voice rang out:
"One. Two, Three-Fire!'
There was a muflled report and the
man in the chair, on whom all eyes
were fastened. lowered his chin a
trifle as his head nodded to the shed,
and then throwing it backward it loll-
ed from side to side. due TO muscular
reaction. He then sank back like a
man wearied and seekinosan ca sier po-
sition.
The execution was over and the
first man TO meet his death in Nevada
by legal shooting had paid the pen
atty as adjudged.
The Warden stepped to the front
and announced that the execution had
taken place according to law.
The spectators were then asked to
leave the enclosure.
The bullets had passed through the
body and into the back OF the wooden
chair. DR.. Maclean. the Prison ply
sician states that death took place
instantly and that the movements OF
the head were due 10 muscular reac-
ton. The body was laid cut in the
adjoining shed where it was prepared
for burial. which will take place in
the prison burial grounds.
The spot where the man died was
at the bottom of excavations, where.
according to scientists, our prehistoric
ancestors roamed 100000 years ago.
Considering these deductions As facts
of scientific history it is not impos-
sible that i'll the dim past OF the pleo-
Zonic period other executions may
have taken place in the same vicinity
After the body was placed in its cof-
fin some flowers were brought in from
some sympathetic source. They were
spring blossoms and some white flow
crs and green ferns in the form OF a
cross. They were placed on the dead

he had been very much exercised by

he should not have been convicted of

pressed the idea that two years in

This morning at Ills Andriza Mir
covich, the murderer OF John Grego-
vich, was shot to death at the Nevada
Penitcntiary. The execution by rifle
fire was the hrst OF the kind i'll this
state, as the law now allows con-
demned man to choose either hanging
or shooting.
Preparations had been made and an
automatic device was purchased by
the state some time ago. The new
devise worked as anticipated and the
condemned man met practically in
slant death when the shots rang out.
The Execution
The law requires that twelve men
witness an execution. When the Wis
itors filed into the yard they were
directed into a corner where a high
board fence forms two sides OF an en-
closure about one hundred feet
square. The quarry excavation form
ed the other two where the natural
walls rise about forty feet. The
death chair was placed against the
southern wall and provided with
straps to fasten the condemned man
firmly in place.
At little before II o'clock seven
teen men were gathered in the enclos-
urc where they waited about fifteen
minutes 70 the guards to bring in
the condemned man.
They were enjoincd TO refrain from
loud talking About thirty yards from
the south. which was occupied by
three guards who fired the shots.

walked unaided with perfectly hrm
step. without coat or vest and head
uncovered. As he passed the shed
where his executioners were waiting
he gave it passing glance and strobe
to the death chair. Here he seated
himself and placed his arms III posi-
ton to receive the straps. The work
OF strapping him firmly to the chair
began and to one of the guards who
seemed to use unnecessary force the
Warden sounded a note OF admoni-
ton in a low voice to treat the man
more gently.

that he might be allowed to face his
