It was evening and several callers were chatting in the parlor, when a batter of little feet was heard at the head of the stairs. Mrs. K. raised her hand for silence. Hush, the children are going to deliver their goodnight message" she said soft ly. Tt always gives me a feeling of reverence to hear them. They are so much nearer the Creator than we are, and they speak the love that is in their little hearts never so fully as when the lark has come. Listen!" There wsa moment of tense silence Then Mama" came the message in shrill whisper, Willie found a bedbug."

nearly as sentiment can be weighed
the legislature will adjourn sine die
next Thursday-probably at midnight.
1t may remain midnight (by the
clock) for several hours on that night.
There is some uncertainty, but prob
abilities are for adjournment. Never,
say old Carsonites. has a legislative
session passed with so little excite
ment. politically and socially.
BY a majority of one the Senate
voted to remove Judge Langan from
office, but that majority was not suf-
ficient, two-thirds vote being re-
quired. 1t was not known whether
Senator Sheehan would vote after the

TO SURVEY OWYHEE PROJECT

Mayor Brandon today received
telegram from Assemblyman Thos.
Defenbaugh stating a favorable re-
port had been gained from the assem-
bly, committee on irrigation, on the
bill introduced to survey the Owyhee
river soldiers irrigation project. This
Is the project proposed by the Hum
boldt County Chamber of Commerce
at recent meeting. Defenbaugh's
telegram further states that an
amendment to. refund the proposed
appropriation to the state was un-
necessary. but that the survey appro-
priation was cut to $2500. In that
form, which is practically the same
as the bill drawn up by Judge Gala
han and Attorney Langwith, except
that the appropriation is cut from
$4,000 to $2500, Defenbaugh believes.
the bill will go through.

be learned he has no relatives, unless
a brother in Chicago from whom no
word has been received. The tele-

be received from there. No arrange

stable of this township to also be

fused to name Moore as chief, and

Moore with nothing to police. though
still clothed with authority to make
arrests and serve court papers.
A provision of the bill introduced
provides that the salary Of IS per
year shall be paid in monthly in
stallments, which would make Con-
stable Moore's pay check forty-one
cents land fraction) per month.

as follows:
Section l. The constable of Union
township of the county of Humboldt.
State of Nevada, shall receive a sal
ary Of FIVE dollars $50 per annum.

pensation for all services performed
by said constable of Union township.

section l OF this act shall be payable
monthly In twelve equal installments.
