Keeping q Man.

Within the past three months siA-
gular wedding service was read 10 a
couple in this city, both of whom are
well known. The lady had a consider
able fortune, which was 30 settled upon
herself that her husband could not
touch it. The gentleman, however, was
not aware of this. The lady arranged
the marriage service to suit herself, and
when it was pronounced the gentleman
swore to love, honor and CHERISH" but
did not add the words about endowing
her with all his worldly goods" The
lady swore she would love, honor, obey
and keep" her husband, and thus the
difficulty was solved. This reminds us
of the wise saying of the Danbury NeDs
man, Girls, never marry until ycu can
support husband. "-Pittsbtsrgh Tele-

claws tearing loose any coils that may
be thrown around his body. He has al

THE BULLION TAX BILL AGAIN.

Commenting upon the remarks Qately re-
produced by the MORNING APPEAL) by the
SiIver State on the result of the recent cleo
tions az having reference to the bullion tax
bill, the Sentinel says:
Humboldt is no exception in this matter.
The same thing prevailed throughout the
State. Those who opposed the compromise
bill of two years ago were generally defeated.
Bradley himself is notable example. In
Lander General Rocker was shamefully beaten
by MIR. Farrell. Tom Rockhill lost in White
Pine and 7 J. Bell in Nye. George Shop
herd managed to pull through in Elko, but
ran far behind his ticket In almost every
instance q record in favor of modification
of the Bullion Tax law seems to have been
beneficial to the candidate. The truth is
that the intelligence and honesty of Nevada
are favorable to reasonable overhauling of
the law. The position of the Democratic
party on this question in the late canvass lost
us hundreds of votes. 1t is true that both
parties were equally committed, but it will be
remembered that the Republican speakers sell
dom alluded to the bullion tax business,
while the Democratic stumpers forced it as
the paramount issue. The result shows that
the people regarded the blather of the latter
as the voice of rampant demagoguery.

THE LEADERS.

The Eureka Leader in a most lust and
thoughtful article upon the existing political
situation says:
A notable thing of the victorious campaign
just concluded is the fact that the men who
have been its acknowledged leaders were the
Republicans of the stalwart, uucOmpromising
order. The men who were active in the trade
and dicker of the presidential count, who
were members of Southern Commissions, and
who we've advocates of the treachery to
Southern Republicans, have not been the
men in the forefront of the recent conflict
Mr.. Bristow's voice has not been heard. Mr..
Wayne McVeagh has been strangely silent.
Mr.. George William Curtis eloquent tongue
has been mute, and Mr.. Stanley Matthews
efforts have been few and ftful. These gen
tlemen were all earnest and active few
months ago to make michel, but they had
little time or inclination a few weeks ago to
repair it. The real leaders have been the
Blaines, and Coaklings, and Logans, and
Joneses, and Chambers, and Howes All
the hostility of the Administration, open or
covert, has not displaced them from the party
craftsmanship. The fact is patent that the
party has not Endorsed the new departure of
the President The hope of his adherents,
that a new leadership would spring up to the
exclusion of that under which the party has
won its past victories, has proved quite as
delusive as that other vain and foolish hope,
that the Southern grave yards would give up
their dead and therefrom would issue forth a
sepulchral array of old Wings to conquer an
Endorsement of his Southern policy
War means blood and wounds and hair
breadth escapes and-possibly- upon
the battlefield. But the venture is worth
the taking to him who looks to the glory and
the gratefulness of victory and the splendid
fruits of triumph. Hayes policy would have
killed the party but for the courage and war
rior-like blood of these valiant chieftans.
They have not so much resented the personal
Sights put upon them by the Administration
as they have the assaults leveled at theil
grand and glorious party by the policy and
personal demeanor of the present Executive
Moreover, the party has recovered from the
shock put upon itself by the surprising mani
festations made immediately upon his in
auguration The Northern heart has been
touched; and the patriot souls who have stood
so grandly by the old flag have let it be known
that they are ready to stand by it again, fol-
lowing their leaders and shouting the battle
cries of old

TRAMP kILLED.-Says the Reno Gazette of
Tuesday
A tramp while counting the railroad ties
from C!arks tc Wadsworth came upon the
body of a man lying on the railroad track.
The corpse was frightfully cut up, showing
that the wheels of a train had passed over it.
The man pulled the body off the track and on
reaching Wadsworth informed the authori-
ties, Coroner Hsslund was telegraphed for.
1t is probable that the deceased was stealing
a ride the bumpers or brakebeam of
freight train and fell from his perch to his
death. He was q middle aged man, short,
thickset, with dark complexion and black
beard An inquest was to have been held at

The Colt Race--The Improvements Being
Made at the Grounds.

The Colt Race--The Improvements Being
Made at the Grounds.
There will be no event among the multi
tude at the forthcoming State fair that will
attract greater attention than the race for the
Minnesota breeders colt stakes. The simple
fact is that the occasion will inaugurate
series of trials likely to become as famous as
the local races in Kentucky. The same
stock is here, and the same results may be
fairly expected as to speed and endurance
upon the trotting track. The entries for
this race have already been noted,
but the purse was finally concluded
upon yesterday. The sum of $500,
a most liberal offer, is hung up, to be divid-
ed in four prizes of $4OO, 5000, 1926 and
S75. The race will occur on the 4th prox,
and has already awakened vast amount of
interest outside the State.
A visit to the State fair grounds yesterday
developed the fact that the new horse stables
are about completed, and are now being
painted. The yards are being mown and
otherwise trimmed. Work upon the en-
largement of the amphitheatre is being pros
ecuted vigorously, and it will be one of the
finest and magnificent structures of it's class
in the country when completed. The
entries pouring in for space in the
general exhibition buildings are becoming
SO vast and unprecedented that the immedi-
ate enlargement of the structures has been
entered upon. Among other improvements
may be noted the fact that the railroad track
to the grounds IS guaranteed to be in first
class order week before the fair takes place,
and in this connection it may be stated that
the highroads leading to the grounds will be
laid IN apple-pie order.
The racing posters were received yester-
day, and are the most unique of their class
ever seen in this section.
