One of the very pleasantest parties of the winter was that given at the National Exchange Hotel Saturday evening in honor of the presence here of Mr. and Mrs. B. K. Finley of Minneapolis and Mrs. M. A. Miller and her son Theodore of Brooklyn, N. Y., who are the guests of their relatives, B. J. and‘G. A. Watson. Nearly if not quite fifty ladies and gefhtlemen assembled by invitation in the parlors of the hotel, and from half-past eight o’clock till the hours oft: Sabbath “arrived enjoyed theinsel ves ! with’ a zest Toopen the entertainment the company was divided into two detachments who entered into a spirited contest at ‘‘bean-board.” The best individual score made by a lady was that of Mrs. H. B. Maxfield who was awarded an elegant card case. A. D. Tower earned thie highest record among the gentlemen and received a beautiful carved paper cutter of antique design in acknowledgment of his skill. . Miss Carrie Naffziger made the lowest count of the ladies, and was rewarded with atoy not unlike a jack-in-the-box. Senator Walrath, who captained the losing side, received a-‘‘musical’’ instrument whose tones were more marked than harmonious. The following program was then given: Instrumental Solo. _Mra’¥. G. Beatty. . Vocal Solo. .. Mrs. H. G. Parsons. Recitation. . Mr. G. A. Watson. Instrumental Solo. Mrs. _L. 8. Calkins. Miss Ida Maltman. Instrumental Sulo. .Miss C. Naffziger. Vocal Solo...Mrs. H. 8. Welch. At the conclusion of the musical and literary exercises, which were of the highest order of artistic merit, the company were invited to the dining room where was served one of those nice collations for which Steward Hyer issofamous. At the festal board there were some impromptu speeches. The supper finished, the party soon came to an end as must all good things. ABSURD CHARGES. A Newspaper Puts Itself in Ridiculous Position. Our readers will remember that a short time ago Pat Mc we was sent from here to the county jail to serve a sentence of 65 days for selling liquor to Indians. His term would. . expire April 1st. Whilein jail it was reported that he was placed in a cell with a lunatic and that the latter attacked Pat and srl him seriously. The new d that it was Pat fot shan named Dunbam who was injured. The following is now peer reported to be the true facts: That it was McNulty who was attacked ~and chewed up and that the Sheriff was to blame therefor; that to save a damage suit Pat’s fine was ‘paid, he was discharged and given money enough to leave the state, which he did. ‘That matter was pretty well hushed up and the newspapers lied when they eaid that it was unham was hurt.’ If this report is true, a very Corrupt state of affairs exist at the county seat. The foregoing, which appeared in the Truckee Republican of Saturday does not contain one statement. that isnot false._.Pat. McNulty is still in jail and will -remain there till the 29th instant unless some friend in the meantime pays the balance due on his fine. Pat had no trouble whatever with a lunatic. A fellow from Truckee named Dunham did, however, but he was not much injured. He bumped his chin against something in scuffling with the crazy man and received a slight flesh wound or two.” He served his term out, was discharged February _ 8th, and is now working on a ranch in Placer county. ‘The most of the published accounts of the affair were exaggerated beyond all reason. The Transcrirt told the plain, unvarnished truth about it. The Republican should retract-the slander on the Sheriff's office that it has given currency to.

The Tidings of Saturday issues a double sheet edition and announces that it will do the same thing oneach Saturday evening hereafter. Four pages are devo'ed entirely to interestingreading matter such as comes under the head of miscellany. The Transcrirt compliments the Tidings on its enterprise and wishes that every paper in the county could be warranted in taking a similar step forward. Bullion From the Dethi. An eleven thousand bar of bullion from the Delhi quartz mine above Columbia Hill came down on Sunday’s stage. It was the result of four days’ crushing with four stamps. The bonanza recently found in the Delhi is proving more extensive than the most glowing reports heretofore pnblished have represented it to be. Resumed Work Yesterday.

Ask Carr aa for it. lye romedy for you For sale by Essentialty of Condensation and Pointedness—An [ilustration. The occasional contributor to, the press has a great advantage over the person regularly engaged in newspaper work. ‘ With one it is a pastime, with the other a task. One chooses a subject and writes upon it at leisure. The other must take up whatever subjects present themselves in the course of the day’s doings, and evolve acertain amount of matter daily regardless of his state of mind or body. His head may ache, pains may rack his limbs or other and foreign things may be harrassing and distracting him. But he must put aside all his personality, forgetting everything but the work befcre liimifhecan. At any rate he must do the work. The inexorabls‘demand of the printers for “more copy” must be responded ‘to. He has no time to round his sentences with graceful periods, or carefully weigh the force and meaning of each word and combination of words. If he does these things at all, it must be’ done on the double-quick. Of course the trick of so doing it comes with brief practice to. some men in the business who have been endowed hy nature and education with the foundation for it, but they are the rare exception. Tothe majority who reach this goal of every earnest, conscientious scribe’s ambition, if comés only with long. years of the hardest and most unremitting labor. Condensation in writing for the. hurriedly-read papers of these rushing times is one of many important requisites in the business. If you try to spread asquare inch of ideas over a Square foot of space the coating is so thin it can’t be seen at a glance, and the average reader surely won’t take time to hunt for it. Peoplein writing for their local papers should not take this as meaning that all -articles.over half.or quarter the length of this one are fit only for the waste basket. But they are luxuries to be indulged in only on rare occasions. Experience teaches that he who can condense with the greatest energy when ‘he has time and a subj-ct, can expand into the most discursive humor, but with con dengation amid the very discursion. When, therefore, y2u write for the press, particularly for that of an energetic county like Nevada, condense. Condense a serious article to the low est point of condensation. Write ‘and re-write; as all have to do to learn this trade, and after trials more or less you will like yourselves and your own writings all the better. Even when yon are discursive, let @very phare of discur sion be condensed to a point, and when that is done your céntributions will be as welcome to an. editor as rains in winter, fruit in summer, fair ladies the year round. As an illustration of condensation, it may be mentioned that the type-setter just came into the sanctum and referring to the foregoing remarks said: ‘“‘We are short of space today. Can’t you boil this down to a seven line ‘Here and There’ by saying: ‘« ‘The editor’s lot is not a happy one. Give him a lift occasionally, kind reader, by sending in a communiction relating ! ie news of your neighborhood. Write to the point and on but one side of the paper.’ ”’ The editor told the printer that such condensation would fill the bill. MEADOW LAKE. A Rumor That the Mines of That District Will Be Re-opened. —_—_— ow Lake mines of Nevada county have long been apparently abandoned, and the tewn formerly known as Excelsior has been given over to the bats and owls, When the excitement over the rich strikes made there was at its height, many people built substantia, houses and furnished them with costly material. When the mines ‘‘petered,”’ that is, when it was found impossitle to work the ore by the method then in vogue, a stax: pede took place, whicl: is-only paralleled in mining history by the exodus from Mineral Park, Arizona, in 1878. Every person left the camp at the earliest opportunity, leav: ing in many cases all their earthly possessions behind them. A substantial mill had been erected there, and. this, too, was allowed to stand atarget for the elements. During the past few years a Baltimore syndicate hasbecome interested in the mines and has had an eminent mining expert and assayer engaged during that time, who has it is claimed finally discovered a process by which the heretofore rebellious ores of that district can be worked expeditiously and profitably. The Gazette has it from what it considers reliable authority dicate to ,resume operations this ceming spring and have placed an order with a San Francisco firm to rehabilitate the mill, and place a thirty-stam) mill in running order as soon as possible. “and hung around here for some time, “The Reno Gazette says: The Mead-. that it is the intention of the synA Swell Swindler Gives His Creditors the Shake: Last year Captain Sydney St. Johns, a very swell young man, came to this city im the guise of a mining expert cutting’a wide swathe. Several loca mining operators saw that he was éntertained in good style, as he gave them to understand that ke was hunting for a quartz minein which to invest some of the numerous thousands belonging to himself and his capital istic friends. From here he went to San Francisco, and from the latter place he has gone the Lord only know where. He was ‘‘late of her Majesty’s Eighth Hussars, stationed in India.” He is also a junior son of an exmember of Parliament, and when he struck Culifornia. his wardrobe was plethoric with white neckties, dress suits, riding breeches, lawn-tennis suits and trowsers well creased back and fore, but he did not come here with paternai blessing. His father had ‘fired’? him from the family roof, but sent him for the first six months thirty pounds sterling a month, His career at San Francisco was short but sweet. The Examiner thus describes it: The Cosmos, Union, Pacific and Bohemian clubs were so many pied-aterre for him. In fact, the Bohemian Club, as the Pacific Carriage Company knows to its sorrow, was his steady address. The members of these various clubs topk kindly to Johns. He was polite, suave and well connected. One of the chief members of. the Cosmos introduced him everywhere and when -H. de Ley Swanton, the heir.to a million pounds, passed through the city two months ago from China on his tour of the world, Sydney, who had been _introduced to him by the Cosmos Club gentleman, levied an assessment of £100 on the traveler—‘‘until the bank opens.’” The Cosmos Club gentleman heard of this later, and before the stranger got. away he made yood the loan Sydney Johns had negotiated on the strength of his introduction. This made exactly $600 the acquaintance of Johns had cost the Cosmos member, who consequently tired of the member of Parliament’s son. These debts were left behind by Johns -when he suddenly quit San Francisco last. Saturday, and are only meationed incidentally. They are but small affuirs compared to his delinquencies at Balfour; Guthrie & Co.’s and other important firms. : Johns did not distribute his favors only in one class. His notes and IO U’s are held especially. at Gobey’s, where he made his headquarters at night, when no ‘other game showed up, and at Pete Dorcey’s, where he sometimes showed a stray Eastern or English tourist the beauties of the city. Johns left last Saturday for Portland, thence to Victoria, B. C., and behind him are left many mourners. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. San Jose to Have the Grand Encampment of the Uniform Rank. "Fomorrow evening the officers-elect of Mountain Division, U.-R. K, of P., will be installed at Pythian Castle and the Sir Knight have been ordered to assemblein fatigue uniform to participate in the exercises. The members are already beginning to look forward with deep interest to the next annual encampment ~of the California Brigade, Brigadier-General Schaffner commanding, which will be, held at San Jose next August.

His wife was when here considered rather. “fly” and recent developments justify the reputation she then bore: “Mrs. Rose Sbockin tired of a yaried marital life last night and took a, heavy dose of arsenic for the purpose of ending it, the design being preventcians at the city receiving hospital. “The woman lived with her husband, Sam Shockin, a_peddler, at 2544g Sixth street, until recently, when she was induced by Braxton Heyden, a painter to transfer her affections and domicile as well. She accordingly went to live with him at 17 Garden street and took her eightyear-old daughter Eva with her. When she also attempted to move the furniture and place te title in her new love her husband objected, and their peculiar family affairs were brought out in the Police Court. “The woman tired of her paramour and he of her. The husband made it lively for him by sundry thréats to shoot him and other dire things, and Hyden took it out on the woman with divers beatings. Life lost its glamor and she got a friend to procure some arsenic, which she swallowed in a draught at 10 o’clock last night.” The poison had been in her possession since Saturday, and the. taking of it last night was brought.about by a fresh quarrel with Hyden. . “He has lately been employed in a mill, and yesterday had a finger torn off in an accident. , He was bronght home, and being down on his luck made itpleasant for Rose_by giving her a good beating with his well hand. He then left the house with the threat of getting drunk, and Mrs, Shockin made up her mind to end it all with the arsenic. “After she had taken it-she called her little daughter Eva and sent her after Shockin. She told the child she had taken poison, and the little one ran. to a neighbor’s instead of going for her father. The neighbor’s came atid sent for the police, wlio took the woman to the city receiving hospital. The vigorous treatment she received there soon got her out of danger, much to die. Her little girl stood by and told the story of her mother’s family papa’ with childish simplicity.” BIGGS BILL.

His growth is now rapid, and he’soon makes his way into the new wood, leaving no visible trace of his work, as he leaves the bark intact. By the fo!lowing autumn he will have excavated u gallery of several square inches, perhaps nearly girdling the tree.

PERSONAL MENTION. . *™ sera to tr TUESDAY, MAROH 6, 1888. os The Reception at the National Hote! Last _ Saturday Evening. One of the very pleasantest parties of the winter was that given at the National Exchange Hotel Saturday evening in honor of the presence here of Mr. and Mrs. B. K. Finley of Minneapolis and Mrs. M. A. Miller and her son Theodore of Brooklyn, N. Y., who are the guests of their relatives, B. J. and‘G. A. Watson. Nearly if not quite fifty ladies and gefhtlemen assembled by invitation in the parlors of the hotel, and from half-past eight o’clock till the hours oft: Sabbath “arrived enjoyed theinsel ves ! with’ a zest Toopen the entertainment the company was divided into two detachments who entered into a spirited contest at ‘‘bean-board.” The best individual score made by a lady was that of Mrs. H. B. Maxfield who was awarded an elegant card case. A. D. Tower earned thie highest record among the gentlemen and received a beautiful carved paper cutter of antique design in acknowledgment of his skill. . Miss Carrie Naffziger made the lowest count of the ladies, and was rewarded with atoy not unlike a jack-in-the-box. Senator Walrath, who captained the losing side, received a-‘‘musical’’ instrument whose tones were more marked than harmonious. The following program was then given: Instrumental Solo. _Mra’¥. G. Beatty. . Vocal Solo. ... Mrs. H. G. Parsons. Recitation.. . Mr. G. A. Watson. Instrumental Solo. Mrs. _L. 8. Calkins. Miss Ida Maltman. Instrumental Sulo. .Miss C. Naffziger. Vocal Solo.....Mrs. H. 8. Welch. At the conclusion of the musical and literary exercises, which were of the highest order of artistic merit, the company were invited to the dining room where was served one of those nice collations for which Steward Hyer issofamous. At the festal board there were some impromptu speeches. The supper finished, the party soon came to an end as must all good things. ABSURD CHARGES. A Newspaper Puts Itself in Ridiculous Position. Our readers will remember that a short time ago Pat Mc we was sent from here to the county jail to serve a sentence of 65 days for selling liquor to Indians. His term would. . expire April 1st. Whilein jail it was reported that he was placed in a cell with a lunatic and that the latter attacked Pat and srl him seriously. The new d that it was Pat fot shan named Dunbam who was injured. The following is now peer reported to be the true facts: That it was McNulty who was attacked ~and chewed up and that the Sheriff was to blame therefor; that to save a damage suit Pat’s fine was ‘paid, he was discharged and given money enough to leave the state, which he did. ‘That matter was pretty well hushed up and the newspapers lied when they eaid that it was unham was hurt.’ If this report is true, a very Corrupt state of affairs exist at the county seat. The foregoing, which appeared in the Truckee Republican of Saturday does not contain one statement. that isnot false._.Pat. McNulty is still in jail and will -remain there till the 29th instant unless some friend in the meantime pays the balance due on his fine. Pat had no trouble whatever with a lunatic. A fellow from Truckee named Dunham did, however, but he was not much injured. He bumped his chin against something in scuffling with the crazy man and received a slight flesh wound or two.” He served his term out, was discharged February _ 8th, and is now working on a ranch in Placer county. ‘The most of the published accounts of the affair were exaggerated beyond all reason. The Transcrirt told the plain, unvarnished truth about it. The Republican should retract-the slander on the Sheriff's office that it has given currency to.

The Tidings of Saturday issues a double sheet edition and announces that it will do the same thing oneach Saturday evening hereafter. Four pages are devo'ed entirely to interestingreading matter such as comes under the head of miscellany. The Transcrirt compliments the Tidings on its enterprise and wishes that every paper in the county could be warranted in taking a similar step forward. Bullion From the Dethi.

Ask Carr aa for it. lye romedy for you For sale by Essentialty of Condensation and Pointedness—An [ilustration. The occasional contributor to, the press has a great advantage over the person regularly engaged in newspaper work. ‘ With one it is a pastime, with the other a task. One chooses a subject and writes upon it at leisure. The other must take up whatever subjects present themselves in the course of the day’s doings, and evolve acertain amount of matter daily regardless of his state of mind or body. His head may ache, pains may rack his limbs or other and foreign things may be harrassing and distracting him. But he must put aside all his personality, forgetting everything but the work befcre liimifhecan. At any rate he must do the work. The inexorabls‘demand of the printers for “more copy” must be responded ‘to. He has no time to round his sentences with graceful periods, or carefully weigh the force and meaning of each word and combination of words. If he does these things at all, it must be’ done on the double-quick. Of course the trick of so doing it comes with brief practice to. some men in the business who have been endowed hy nature and education with the foundation for it, but they are the rare exception. Tothe majority who reach this goal of every earnest, conscientious scribe’s ambition, if comés only with long. years of the hardest and most unremitting labor. Condensation in writing for the. hurriedly-read papers of these rushing times is one of many important requisites in the business. If you try to spread asquare inch of ideas over a Square foot of space the coating is so thin it can’t be seen at a glance, and the average reader surely won’t take time to hunt for it. Peoplein writing for their local papers should not take this as meaning that all -articles.over half.or quarter the length of this one are fit only for the waste basket. But they are luxuries to be indulged in only on rare occasions. Experience teaches that he who can condense with the greatest energy when ‘he has time and a subj-ct, can expand into the most discursive humor, but with con dengation amid the very discursion. When, therefore, y2u write for the press, particularly for that of an energetic county like Nevada, condense. Condense a serious article to the low est point of condensation. Write ‘and re-write; as all have to do to learn this trade, and after trials more or less you will like yourselves and your own writings all the better. Even when yon are discursive, let @very phare of discur sion be condensed to a point, and when that is done your céntributions will be as welcome to an. editor as rains in winter, fruit in summer, fair ladies the year round. As an illustration of condensation, it may be mentioned that the type-setter just came into the sanctum and referring to the foregoing remarks said: ‘“‘We are short of space today. Can’t you boil this down to a seven line ‘Here and There’ by saying: ‘« ‘The editor’s lot is not a happy one. Give him a lift occasionally, kind reader, by sending in a communiction relating ! ie news of your neighborhood. Write to the point and on but one side of the paper.’ ”’ The editor told the printer that such condensation would fill the bill. MEADOW LAKE. A Rumor That the Mines of That District Will Be Re-opened. —_—_— ow Lake mines of Nevada county have long been apparently abandoned, and the tewn formerly known as Excelsior has been given over to the bats and owls, When the excitement over the rich strikes made there was at its height, many people built substantia, houses and furnished them with costly material. When the mines ‘‘petered,”’ that is, when it was found impossitle to work the ore by the method then in vogue, a stax: pede took place, whicl: is-only paralleled in mining history by the exodus from Mineral Park, Arizona, in 1878. Every person left the camp at the earliest opportunity, leav: ing in many cases all their earthly possessions behind them. A substantial mill had been erected there, and. this, too, was allowed to stand atarget for the elements. During the past few years a Baltimore syndicate hasbecome interested in the mines and has had an eminent mining expert and assayer engaged during that time, who has it is claimed finally discovered a process by which the heretofore rebellious ores of that district can be worked expeditiously and profitably. The Gazette has it from what it considers reliable authority dicate to ,resume operations this ceming spring and have placed an order with a San Francisco firm to rehabilitate the mill, and place a thirty-stam) mill in running order as soon as possible. “and hung around here for some time, “The Reno Gazette says: The Mead-. that it is the intention of the synA Swell Swindler Gives His Creditors the Shake: Last year Captain Sydney St. Johns, a very swell young man, came to this city im the guise of a mining expert cutting’a wide swathe. Several loca mining operators saw that he was éntertained in good style, as he gave them to understand that ke was hunting for a quartz minein which to invest some of the numerous thousands belonging to himself and his capital istic friends. From here he went to San Francisco, and from the latter place he has gone the Lord only know where. He was ‘‘late of her Majesty’s Eighth Hussars, stationed in India.” He is also a junior son of an exmember of Parliament, and when he struck Culifornia. his wardrobe was plethoric with white neckties, dress suits, riding breeches, lawn-tennis suits and trowsers well creased back and fore, but he did not come here with paternai blessing. His father had ‘fired’? him from the family roof, but sent him for the first six months thirty pounds sterling a month, His career at San Francisco was short but sweet. The Examiner thus describes it: The Cosmos, Union, Pacific and Bohemian clubs were so many pied-aterre for him. In fact, the Bohemian Club, as the Pacific Carriage Company knows to its sorrow, was his steady address. The members of these various clubs topk kindly to Johns. He was polite, suave and well connected. One of the chief members of. the Cosmos introduced him everywhere and when -H. de Ley Swanton, the heir.to a million pounds, passed through the city two months ago from China on his tour of the world, Sydney, who had been _introduced to him by the Cosmos Club gentleman, levied an assessment of £100 on the traveler—‘‘until the bank opens.’” The Cosmos Club gentleman heard of this later, and before the stranger got. away he made yood the loan Sydney Johns had negotiated on the strength of his introduction. This made exactly $600 the acquaintance of Johns had cost the Cosmos member, who consequently tired of the member of Parliament’s son. These debts were left behind by Johns -when he suddenly quit San Francisco last. Saturday, and are only meationed incidentally. They are but small affuirs compared to his delinquencies at Balfour; Guthrie & Co.’s and other important firms. : Johns did not distribute his favors only in one class. His notes and IO U’s are held especially. at Gobey’s, where he made his headquarters at night, when no ‘other game showed up, and at Pete Dorcey’s, where he sometimes showed a stray Eastern or English tourist the beauties of the city. Johns left last Saturday for Portland, thence to Victoria, B. C., and behind him are left many mourners. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. San Jose to Have the Grand Encampment of the Uniform Rank.

She accordingly went to live with him at 17 Garden street and took her eightyear-old daughter Eva with her. When she also attempted to move the furniture and place te title in her new love her husband objected, and their peculiar family affairs were brought out in the Police Court. “The woman tired of her paramour and he of her. The husband made it lively for him by sundry thréats to shoot him and other dire things, and Hyden took it out on the woman with divers beatings. Life lost its glamor and she got a friend to procure some arsenic, which she swallowed in a draught at 10 o’clock last night.” The poison had been in her possession since Saturday, and the. taking of it last night was brought.about by a fresh quarrel with Hyden. . “He has lately been employed in a mill, and yesterday had a finger torn off in an accident. , He was bronght home, and being down on his luck made itpleasant for Rose_by giving her a good beating with his well hand. He then left the house with the threat of getting drunk, and Mrs, Shockin made up her mind to end it all with the arsenic. “After she had taken it-she called her little daughter Eva and sent her after Shockin. She told the child she had taken poison, and the little one ran. to a neighbor’s instead of going for her father. The neighbor’s came atid sent for the police, wlio took the woman to the city receiving hospital. The vigorous treatment she received there soon got her out of danger, much to die.

His growth is now rapid, and he’soon makes his way into the new wood, leaving no visible trace of his work, as he leaves the bark intact. By the fo!lowing autumn he will have excavated u gallery of several square inches, perhaps nearly girdling the tree. His work is now plainly visible, even to the inexperienced orchardist, who will discover tlie shrunken appearance of that portion of the tree, and the discoloration of the bark.
