The Cars of the Insane Urge Nevada Asylum
The Reno Journal urges building a Nevada Lunatic Asylum at home to avoid sending patients to California. It argues a $150 000 to $200 000 debt might be acceptable if costs equal current California expenses, noting Nevada taxes and products would fund the facility and criticizing the current arrangement with Langdon and Clark.

Bread Reform Meeting Advocates Whole Wheat Bread Use
A Kensington gathering under the Bread Reform League urged universal use of wheat meal bread. Dr B W Richardson quoted as saying white bread rots nourishment, while whole meal supports bones, teeth, and muscle. He claimed a shilling of wheat bread yields far more flesh, heat, and bone material than beef. The talk warned that many deformities could be prevented over generations. The report then notes rail and crime items: rail work at Gage New Mexico and a prospective knife duel in Fort Worth halted by arrests.
