a WORD FOR sTRoTHER.
CARSON, Oct. 10, 1889.


EEIToR EUREKA LEADER:-Hav-
ing read "Working Woman's' letter
to your paper it reminded me that
mother should also take an interest
in the coming contest for Governor.
We, who realize what the example of
our leading men are upon the rising
generation, should see to it that only
men of thoroughly good principle In
every respect should occupy so ex-
allied position as Governor OF a
State. When we take our sons to
visit the Capitol during the session
of the Legislature, or at other times,
we ought to be certain that the sight
of cards, or the clink of coin from
the Governors office shall not aston
ish the gaze or offend their young
ears, as has been the case in the
Lieutenant Governors office during
The last two terms. II those living
in the Eastern portion OF the State
know the two candidates as thor
oughly as we of Carson and Virginia,
they would not hesitate one moment
az to their choice of men for their
Governor. OF Mr.. Strother, who has
lived in the State twenty years not
one thing detrimental TO his character
can be said. His life needs no de
fender. As an example to the young
his past life will be invaluable, teach
ing them true dignity, thorough
honesty and uprightness In business,
sobriety and retiring medesty. And
only by the past can we judge of the
future, therefore, let no one who
knows both candidates we'll sdmonish
those who have the care of the young
at heart to vote for Mr.. S,rother, for
we can depend that he will never by
his conduct, cause blush of shame
to rise to our cheeks for the example
set the youth of our State, or for the
honor of our States Chief Executive.

the Importance Of the Republicans

event OF Mr. Jones entering the Cab

every Republican do his duty. There
will be no votes to spare.

Independent candidates to beat the

prominent man in the Republican
party could even muster enough
strength to give color to his candi-
dacy, and any one of that stamp will
be wise enough to see that it entirely
destroys all future prospects, while

Let Republicans beware of false pro

C. S. YOUNG.
MOTHER

Charles Sumner Young, the Repub-
lican nominee for Superintendent of
Public Instruction, is Endorsed as be-
ing young man eminently qualified
to fill that important position. The
Butler county, Ohio Democrat, pub
lished at Mr. Young's old home, con
tsins the following:
"Ten years ago a young man left
his fathers farm in Huron county,
Ohio, and entered the Ohio Wesley
an University at Delaware. In due
time he was graduated with honors in
spite of this fact that he was obliged
to teach part of the time in order to
obtain the funds which were needed
to defray his expenses while in school.
For year after he obtained his di
ploma he taught in the Norwalk,
Ohio, high school. The next year he
went to Nevada, where he has risen to
the superintendency of the Gold Hill
schools. A few days ago the Repub.
lican convention nominated him for
State School Superintendent of Ne
vada, and as his party is in the maj
ority, it is quite probable that he
will be elected. Whether he is or is
not successful in the campaign, he is
good example of what talent, indus
try and character will do for ayoung
man in this ccuntry. The name of
this farmers son is Charles Sumner
Young"
Mr.. Young is we'll known in edu-
cational circles in San Francisco, and
receives this kindly notice from the
Pacific School Journal, a magazine
edited by Professor Albert Lyser and
devoted exclusively to educational
matters:
"The Republican State Convention
few days ago placed in nomination
for the State SUPPLEMENTARY g. s.
Young of Gold Hill. the best man in
the State for the position. Mr.. Young
has been Principal of the High School,
City Superintendent, and is an educs-
tor in the broadcast and best sense of
the term. We believe he will be
elected by large majority; we know
he should be. Nevada teachers
should see to it that there is no fail
ure in this matter. If they permit
so good man as Mr.. Young to be
beaten by any political Vaccinations
they deserve to be reduced to salaries
that would buy a sanebrush diet for
the rest of their natural lives"

APEX WORLD,
A New brand of cheap Meal.

At the present time the article OF
cornmeal is an item of interest to our
country neighbors. The valley resi-
dentsare especially friends Of the arti-
Gle. They consume it in vast qusnti-
ties and buy it here OF elsewhere with
wonderful liberality.
Over 10000 bushels Of corn have
been ground into meal in this market
during the past six weeks. Besides
this nearly 1000 barrels of cornmeal
havebeen sold here broughtfrom upper
country markets. The price in round
lots for some time past has ranged
from 1886 to $40 per barrel OF zoe
pounds.
A few days since several merchants
were stirred v e the offer made by
and Indiana miller to supply cornmeal
in any quantity at 1920 per barrel.
An inquiry through the mails elected
the following reply, which business
men regard as rather comieal and at
the same time SO satisfactory that the
market for that meal will be limited
here:
DEAR SIR-We price you to-day
our choice white cornmeal at SS.20
per Dbl on steamer here, 3Oc per Dbl
freight. We receive this meal fresh
ground daily, 175 lbs to Dbl, and is
guaranteed pure, fresh and sweet. by
placing over this amount in a barrel
all the good qualities and sweetness
are crushed out. We sell it all over
the country, and the brand, Apex
World has become famous. Will be
pleased for your orders.
VERY truly, ~.

Mountain Disappearing.
Asbeville, N. G., special.l

hhneflnet Ne Osi tpeclul'l
Information received to day from
Bald Mountain states that yesterday a
sudden and fearful crash was heard in
the neighborhood of Bakersville. The
rumbling noise preceding the crash
was heard for miles, and caused the
frightened inhabitants of these noun
tains to recall the scenes Of four or
five years ago, when Bald Mountain
was seriously threatened with violent
eruptions. An investigation Of the
disturbance ofyesterday developed the
fact that a large portion Of this peak
has suddenly disappeared iD the fertile
and beautiful valley below. A slice a
half-nile square melted away. The
