A regular fire trap is to be found
between the Grand opera house build

six feet between the two walls and
this is filled with large piano boxes

JOHN H. OBERLY,
UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS OF IN
DIAN AFFAIRS.

John H. Oberly's name is familiar
in the list of public servants, as he
was the head of the Civil Service
Commission. He was born at Cincin-
natl, in the year 1888. His father was
a Pennsylvania by birth.
When Oberly was very young the
family removed to Wooster, Ohio,
where at a suitable age he was placed
in printing office. He thoroughly
learned the gentle craft, and in time
gained distinction among those who
follow it. The history of the National
Printers Union shows his name
among its presidents.
Mr.. Oberly was living at Memphis,
Tennessee, at the outbreak of the
war. Not having the art to conceal
his Union sentiments he was driven
out of that city in May 1861, and re-
tu' ned to his native state. In the year
1873 he married and made his resi-
dence in Illinois, of which he is still
Mr.. Oberly takes high position in
the counsels of the democracy of that
state. He has been recognized as a
local leader for nearly twenty years,
and this without the effort on his
part, to push his political fortunes.

A REMARKABLE STORY
About an Attempt to Murder a 10
Year-Old Heir.
From the Philadelphia Record.


A remarkable story was told to the re-
porter this morning by a well-known
lawyer residing in this city, and doing bust
ness here and in New York. The lawyer
has among his clients a colored woman,
who is in charge of male child of white
parentage, now in its 18th year. This child
Is the heir to a large estate, and the lawyer
says that several attempts have been made
to get rid of it, and that he believes that
the murder of the boy has been attempted
The story told by the colored woman, who
is known as Charlotte Polo and lives in
Bridge street, to her lawyer is in substance
as follows:
Fifteen years ago Charlotte Polo lived on
the island of Cuba. Josephine B. Pinto, a
wealthy lady, came to Cuba, whore she
gave birth to child. Charlotte Polo was
the lady's nurse. The lady seemed sur
rounded by a mystery which the negress
could not penetrate After few days the
child was given into the custody of the
nurse and the lady left Cuba. From time
to time Charlotte Polo received sums of
money for the child's support and mainte-
nance but suddenly the payments stopped
Then the nurse and child came to America
and Charlotte found that Josephine B.
Pinto was living in fashionable mansion
on Lexington avenue, New York The
nurse began an action to recover for her
services to the boy and got judgment
against the lady by confession for 81, 223.
That sum was paid over and the nurse and
child came to Brooklyn to live.
Josephine B. Pinto died in her elegant
home in 1888, leaving 100000 behind her.
The nurse began another action against the
estate to recover for her services and for
the support of the boy up to the time of be-
ginning the suit. The action is now on
trial before a referee in New York city.
Now comes the remarkable part of the
story.
Several times when the boy has been
playing outside his home on Bridge street
attempts have been made by unknown
parties to kidnap him. On one occasion he
was spirited away and taken on board an
outgoing ship. At the last moment he was
rescued by his faithful nurse. The night
before last the boy was playing in the
street. Suddenly, his nurse says, he was
struck on the head with some blunt instru-
ment aud severely injured. He was carried
home and physicians summoned. One doc
tor said the boy had had narrow escape
from DEATH. and the case ought TO be re-
ported TO the police. The authorities will
probably be notified Of the assault to-day.
The boy is said TO be one Of the heirs to the
Pinto estate.

TIE LAST To SURRENDER.

In former years the whole Pacific
Coast region West of the Rocky
Mountains scorned the nickel and
copper as too insignificant 10 be

is the only place IN North America
where these small coins do not pass
current for change in the smaller
transactions of the people. In Cali

US. business men will change q
twenty dollar piece to collect the
nimble nickel, and copper cents are
met with everywhere on the
Coast outside of Nevada. There is
nothing in Nevada that can be
bought for nickel, and as for cop

in Nevada, not many years ago
either, when mining was at its
zenith here that quarter OF a dol

honored with a place in our cur
rency. We gradually changed our
business methods with the times
and the influx of people from the
older States, and finally came down

II may not be economical and all
that but to us there is something
broader and nobler in the system
that prevails here than is to be
found elsewhere on the face OF the
globe. 1t distinguishes
the true Nevadan as the most hos
pitabIe, generous and warm-heart-
ed individual in this world. There
is nothing mean nor picayunish in
his composition. As a matter
of fact he stands without a peer in
all the better qualities OF the hu-
man heart. We speak generally of
course, and shall not deny that
there is to be found now and then
in the State the necessary excep-

We beg leave to differ from
our contemporary, The Sacramento
Record Union, when it has: "San
Francisco belongs to the State"
A good deal OF San Francisco fairly
belongs to Nevada. 1t was treasure
dug from Comstock mines that
built the palaces on "Nob Hill;" it
was the taking out of this State OF
wealth that should have been ex-
pended in developing her natural
resources and enabled San Francis
co to become what she Is to-day.

that San Francisco belongs to Cali

Swift Prophecies.

John F. Swift, who was recently
in Washington wrote to ]. r. Fin
layson Of Reno:
1 went about enough in the East
to satisfy myself that Blaine will
be the nominee, whether we like it
or not. Instead of making him
out of the question by the result of
the last election in New York, that
election put his nomination among
the inevitable and natural invinci-
bic necessities. 1t is clear-or at
least it was clear as soon as the
election was over-that If Blaine
could not carry New York against
Cleveland then nobody could, and
we might as well give up the fight.
OF course 1 am speaking of the
state of feeling when the result was
announced-that is, next day after
the election of November last.
Now the whole matter is suddenly
changed. Cleveland's most vel
come letter-or rather message to
Congress-again changed the whole
aspect OF the case. Blaine is now
the st. George of Republicanism,
and comes in triumph to rescue
us from the dungeon OF free trade.
