The MeKauIass Performances.

Last Saturday evening the McKan-
lass colored troupe played to a large and
appreciative audience. The Professor is a
whole show in himself, and his perform
ances on separate banjos and other
similar feats, showed him to be a great
musical genius. His violin and cornet
performances were masterpieces rendered
in inimitable style. He is the only colored
graduate of the CINCINNATI Musical
College, and has, since receiving his d.
ploma, successfully devoted himself to
musical novelties, mainly the playing OF
several different instruments at the
same time. Little Adelaine and Master
Willie, respectively four and seven years
old, are musical prodigies, and their per.
formances elected frequent and prolonged
applause. Miss Griffin sang "Rock Me
in The Cradle Deep" in B fat, a peculiar
man.woman tone Of voice, and was en-.
cored. Other performances by the sew
eral members Of the troupe completed a
most pleasant evenings entertainment.

ILLINOIS FOR GRESHAM.

Several months ago the SENTINEL be.
gan to speculate about Judge Gresham
as a probable Republican candidate for
the Presidency. We said in one article
that the sensible thing for the Republi-
cans to do, was to nominate Gresham OF
Indiana and Hswley of Connecticut, for
first and second place, and abandon all
hope Of carrying New York. They had
an easier fight the other way, as we main.
tanned. 1t begins to look a good deal
like we had named their ticket for them
or they may take a New York man for
second place. The Gresham boom is bob.
ing up serenely all over the country.
There is scarcely a State in which he does
not have a pronounced following, and
Illinois has just selected a solid Gresham
delegation. Little Ben Harrison imag.
ines that he is running for President, but
he win not have a delegate outside OF In-
diana, while there, it was simply the
machine that gave him the inside track.
Allison, Alger, Depew and the rest are
in the same boat with Little Ben-with-
ont support outside Of their respective
States. If there are ten ballots in deter.
mining the choice OF a candidate in the
Chicago Convention, Gresham will "get
there all the same" and walk off with
the baggage. 1t doesn't require the sew
enth son of a seventh son, but any son
of a gun, may readily discern what is most
likely to transpire in the Republican DO.
litical world within the next forty days.

Profits I'm Buying Bonds.

The San Francisco Post y During
the week ending to-day the Secretary
Of the Treasury has purchased 81, l9S,.
100 of bonds-all, we believe, of the As
Of 1907. AT the average price of l26, he
has paid for the same IS, 200, 900. By
maturity these bonds would have cost
the United States. in prin cipal and inter.
est. Sass, 767. The purchase of the
bonds, therefore, shows a net profit to
the Government of some S2,99S, 900.
which is o good practicalshowingin favor
Of the policy of buying and canceling in.
terest- bearing bonds.
Last weeks purchases were $780,
500, an increase Of over $500, 900 for the
week.
The fear that no bonds would be of.
fered at a reasonable price proves ground
less. The offerings for the present week
amount to Sc, 9S5, $50 against Sc, BIS, 500
for last week. and few Of the offerings
rise above l27 for the As Of 1907, or
above los for the AIS of 1891.
At the present rate the bonds pur.
chased would absorb several times the es-
timated surplus for the next year.

again in the fight for the Presidency, and
will make an aggressive onslaught for
the nomination. The story is related

dorses it as emanating from a very high
and trustworthy source. For our W
part we do not believe a word Of it. We
regard Mr.. Blaine as entirely too shrewd
a man to be guilty Of all this backing and
filing and circumlocution in the matter
Of his candidacy. II he wanted the nom.
~ination all he had TO do in the first place
was to keep bis mouth shut, and il would
have come TO him naturally. To say now
that he is q candidate is TO assume that
his original letter was a trick meant to
deceive somebody. This would place
Mr.. Blaine in an unworthy light before
the country. He has hold enough on his
party and the hearts Of a sufficient num-
Der Of the American people to impel him
to entire frankness in all matters touch.
ing his relations with them. Least Of all
can he afford any monkey business with
the people without serious detriment to
his personal standing as a man of open
and direct methods. He would be han.
dicapped by his letter Of d~eclination all
the way through should he consent to re-
enter the race. We don't believe that he
will be nominated at Chicago.

FEDERAL BUILDINGS ron NE
ADA.


We note that Senator Stewart has in.
troduced a bill to provide for a couple Of
additional Federal buildings in Nevada
one st Virginia and the other at Reno.
For the 6rst he asks an appropriation Of
$50, 900. and for the latter 100000.
We hope that both bills may be passed.
While so much money is being voted for
public buildings, Nevada deserves her
share Of the chicken pie" Senator
Stewart may be able to get his new bill
through the Senate, as hat body is quite
liberal, but it will be hard to pass it in
the House. Randall and Holman, and
some other cheese parers" sit down on
every appropriation Tor public improve
ments Of this character, unless it can be
clearly demonstrated that the Govern.
ment can save money by the operation.
| They usually draw the line at q Federal
| courthouse; where a Federal court is held
they will not object seriously to provid-
ing a building to hold it in. As Nevada
has but one Federal court, and that at
| Carson, Senator Stewards bill is quite
likely to encounter their determined OPP
position. There is a United States Land
| Department and Postoffice at Reno, which
| should be housed in a decent building

q first.class Postofice building should be
provided by the Government, instead OF
allowing the citizens to "chip in" and
pay the rent of q building as is usually
the case. For our own part we believe
the Government ought to W a model
Postofice building in every considerable
sized town in America, from which the
American flag should proudly float on all
occasions. But this achievement is some
distance in the future, il it's ever adopted
as a policy. In the meantime the Stew

1t may not be generally known, but it

going on in the Republican party in this

tie for the nomination, but we hardly
expect to see him succeed for a third
term. The people of this State are
against the third term rule, at least the
third term has always cut an important
figure in our politics. This will msteri-
ally aid the friends Of the other candi-
dates 10 disposing Of the claims Of Judge
Leonard, who, under other circumstan-
ces, it would be difficult to set aside in
the convention. Personally, we would
as soon see him receive the nomination as
any other of the as~pirants; but we are
not rejecting our personal preference in
this article, rather we are specializing as
to what is likely to happen. We believe.
therefore, that the contest will narrow
down at the finish between Murphy and
Mckinney, with their chances Of success
about equal. They ought to sell even in
the pools. This nomination, whoever
gets it on the Republican side. is going
to leave heartburnings. If the Demo-
Gratis put up an acceptable man they will

Bankers Daughter Forms Partner.
 chip with Her Fathers Hostler.
 SHELBYv1LLE, Ills, Feb. 3.-An event which causes a decided sensation occurred here late Wednesday night, in the marriage of Hattie Barnes the only daughter of A. G. Barnes, a wealthy banker of Taylorville, and her fathers horse trainer, George l.. Banks.
 Banks has been engaged for a year past in speeding the fine trotters of the banker. Dur .ng that time, unknown to his parents, the young man developed strong attachment for the girl Hattie reciprocated the feeling no less ardently.
 The father was enjoying visit to Hot Springs when lost note found by the mother revealed the situation. On account of the dis parity in their social stations the mother was bitterly opposed to the match, and immedi- ately took measures to prevent it. The banker was telegraphed to, and she had planned in a few days to send the daughter away on a visit and dispense with Banks services.
 The young people learned of the scheme and resolved upon prompt action. Leaving home secretly, they were driven to Pana, came thence by rail, reaching here at g o'clock at night. Their absence was discov- cred shortly after, and messages were sent broadcast over the country to intercept them and arrest the girl, but the chief of police nere received the telegram too late, as the couple had already secured license from the county clerk and the knot had been tied

After leaving the court the party proceeded to the city hall, where large crowd had collected, and as the general appeared he was loudly cheered. Mayor O'Brien, assisted by the members of the city council, received the distinguished party. At 12 o'clock the party withdrew, and, with Mayor O'Brien, proceeded to Faneuil hall to attend the public reception rendered to Gen. Sheridan. Enthusiastic cheers greeted his advent from the dense throng that filled the building The general, accompanied by the members of his staff, Mayor O'Brien and the city officials, took a place in the center of the hall, lowing his acknowledgements to those in front, and then began the arduous work of hankshaking. Cheer after cheer greeted the party as they left the hall Carriages were then taken to the Vendome in the interval remaining be- fore going on the special train to Salem.
