ssThe Lady Of Lyons.,'

The Dramatic Club have under consider
alton the production Of this sentimental
drama, to be given about the latter part of
the present month. Two OF the principal
characters have already been assigned
Charles Allen as Claude Melnotte and Mrs.
Selden Hetzel as Pauline. Ed. Wander
lieth has also been assigned to a part in
which he can further demonstrate bis use
fulness on tho stage. Some Of the main
roles remain to be awarded, and great
difficulty will be experienced in making
out the cast. Ed. N, Robinson's arrival is
awaited for a prominent part. The noble
Colonel Dumas, however, is hunting for
an i~mpersonator, and his soldierly bearing
is hard to find in these parts. Miss Daisy
Wendell will be in the play, and, we are in
formed, it will be her farewell appearance.
We thope, however, that the young lady's
leaye-taking will be somewhat like Madame
Anna Bishop's-one a month for the bal
ance OF her natural life.

Valentine Day.

Monday next is Valentine Day. Some
idea OF the vastness Of the valentine trade
may be gathered from the fact that one
dealer alone in the city Of New York has
manufactured over 5000. 900 comic valen-
tines. Sending valentines is one Of the
old customs that does not seem to die out.
1t originated with the ancient Romans,
and at the Lupercal the young maids and
maidens received their valentines from
the priests. As time wore on, the form
and beauty Of the valentine were improved
upon, and many Of those OF to day are
marvels Of artistic skill and beauty. But
the so-called comic" valentine is an inno-
walton that might readily be dispensed
with. The majority Of these affairs are
both vulgar and cowardly, and wound the
feelings Of those to whom they are sent. II
is not gratifying, therefore, to learn that
so many are being manufactured, for they
are cruel instruments welded by mean
and cowardly minds.

TRIMMING THEIR SAILS.
Political Warehouses Already i'm
Training.

There have always been two factions il
the Republican party Of Eureka county
each striving for the control of its ma.
chinery, but they have been 30 nearly equaI
in numerical strength that an armed neu,
trality has heretofore been observed. The
one is led by Judge W. w. Bishop !; the
other acknowledges the leadership Of Hon.
Thomas Wren. Pete Caravan has been q
side-show to these two organizations, and
has wavered between each. A truce was
called last Summer between them, the
agreement being that, in consideration Of
the Wren faction supporting Sabin for Su-
preme Judge, no opposition would be
made to Wren's capturing the Legislative
ticket. This programme was adhered to
faithfully and carried out in good faith.
But the success Of one or two parties at
the polls evidently imbued them with the
idea that If they could manage Eureka
County they could capture the State, and
they are now systematically laying their
wires for this purpose. A combination,
showing that politics as well as poverty,
makes strange bedfellows, has been formed,
the central figures being Hobart Doolin
and Charley Wallace. The first is anxious
to succeed Gov. Kinkaid, the second looks
longingly toward the seat now filled by
Mr.. Daggett, n the latter is, or will be
content to be his own successor, such q
strange mixture win excite surprise, and
lead to the remark that the two leading Of
fees cannot come from Eureka County,
and therefore Hobart would not back Doo-
lin when it is apparent that it would be to
his own detriment.
THE MILK IN THE cocoANUT.
Judge Bishop proposes to enter the Gu
bernatorial race, and Hobart knows he is
the toughest Christian that any man need
care to tackle, and so he has set about to
weaken him in every possible amer.
Every sane man knows that if Congress
sional steamers could be had for a dozen
votes each Doolin would not capture a
gangway plank, and none know this better
than Hobart. Doolin's candidacy would
cost him nothing, while his friendship
would secure the supporter Canavan ct al,
although how valuable that support would
prove is open for discussion. The county
delegation would be composed Of men Of
known Hobart proclivities, and the nomi-
nation for Governor being made the junior
Senator would express his regrets at the
"Jedge's" defeat. Charley Wallace wags
the tail end Of this conglomeration, and
does SO because he wants to capture the
Wren-Richmond faction and secure their
support for reelection. He has always
been arrayed against them before, and this
move is a mastery one on the works Of his
old enemy, but if present comments can be
accepted as an indication, it is already ap-
parent that Mr.. Wallace will need some
thing more than can be found in the Re-
publican party before he succeeds in his
purpose.
This is the racket as it stands, and is a
nice little arrangement. 1t is a good turn
out, but by the time Bishop pulls a Inch
pin or W it will be found that it cannot
stand the jolting of a steady trot on the
rough political roads of the Sagebrush
State.

Concert and Ball.

The first anniversary entertainment Of
the Germania Club will take place to-
morrow night at the Opera House. The
society, being composed Of our best Ger
man citizens, who love song and socia-
bility, and who know how to entertain
their friends, promise to make the affair
one Of the most enjoyable Of the season.
The concert programme, to be found in
another column, is an ambitious one, and
contains several numbers which Of them
selves are sufficiently enticing to draw the
lovers OF vocalism and music. The chorus
is made up Of the best voices Of the Club,
and will show how nicely human voices
can be trained in harmony under the
baton Of a competent director. After the
concert the floor will be cleared for
dancing.

We find the following in the Record of
last Saturday son Saturday afternoon
there were circulated about town notices
stating that a meeting would be held the
same evening, and that Henry Rives and
G. W.. Baker would present the merits Of
the Eureka and Colorado R. R. scheme to
the public. Permission was also given for
any person to give his views on the sub
ject. II. Rives called the meeting to or
der; G. H. Fish was elected Chairman and
j. Poujade Secretary. G.. W. Baker OF Eu-
reka and H. Rives addressed the meeting
in behalf Of the proposed railroad corpora
| ton as its Representatives. They stated
| that a bill is now before the Legislature
providing that Lincoln county shall take
| stock to the amount of $500, 900 from the
railroad, giving therefor its bonds bearing
interest at 10 per cent for twenty years.
After stating the merits Of the bill they
asked that a resolution be passed to the ef-
feet that in the sense Of the meeting the
| bill should become a law. A.. 8. Gould
being called upon spoke in favor of the
proposition. Voices calling for ]. Pou-
Jade brought that gentleman to his feet.
He spoke in favor Of railroads in general,
but decidedly against the bill as it stood /;
against subsidies without 8 three-fourths
majority in a popular election against
favoring any bill concerning public money
without long previous deliberation, and
full, free and fair public discussion, and
asked that nc resolution be passed and no
petition signed whatever until the bill had
been circulated, read and pondered over
by all and publicly discussed, in order that
nothing rash be done. He also suggested
that II the bill should receive the approba-
ton Of the people it should not be until
certain amendments should be made, max
ing that portion Of the contract which the
railroad corporation was to fulfill clearer
and better defined. Henry Rives again
took the floor to answer the last speaker,
and after replying to some Of the points
advanced, thanked the audience for their
attention and kept the floor till the people
dispersed, the meeting breaking up with
out any resolution having been passed and
without an adjournment"

i've advantage to White Pine County of the
building of such a road, and the taxpayers
here Endorsed a proposition to give the
railroad 500, 600 in bonds bearing Z per
cent on the completion of rs miles of road
in this county. with the proviso that the
taxes derived by the county from said road
should be placed in a fund to pay for in
terest and principal of said bonds, and
that no other taxes Of any kind should be
levied for such purpose that the taxes due
the State should be paid by the company
to the State that NO taxes should ever be
levied on any other property in the county
for the purpose of paying either interest
or principal Of said bonds. The company
is to issue its full paid stock in exchange
for the bonds. In other words, the county
exchanges its revenue from the road for
stock in the road"
