Independent Candidate for District
Attorney.

To my friends, irrespective of Parties,
hereby announce myself an independent
candidate for the office of District Attorney,
of Lyon County, Nevada, subject TO the de
cision at the polls, and propose to stand
upon the following platform. which was
adopted by the overwhelming majority o.
ONE.
am utterly opposed TO "Trusts," that is,
mstrusts in political affairs by men in high
places.
l believe Lyon County ha, citizens who
are interested in her welfare, who are cap
able Of managing her affairs without the aid
Of "Carpet baggers."
All criminals should be punished, but nc
person should be prosecuted under color OIL
law.
believe a District Attorney sould re.
ceivc no assistance to be paid for out of the
county's fund.
As Superintendent, of Schools the District
Attorney should take great interest, and
look with Jealous care 10 the wants Of the
little ones. II elected this propose TO do
yes, and look out for the school mans too
for
"Tis education forms the common mind
ust as the twig is bent, the trees inclined. ,
To prove that education shall be attend,c
100 faithfully, if elected, will donate s.:
per month 10 the Public School fund of saiu
county.
I do not believe in pledges to the public
unless for the pubic good, therefore, il
elected, pledge myself never TO cost Lyon
County one cent for outside help or advice,
and will give bonds to that effect.
Therefore, ask every tax payer to con
slider the above, and every parent or guar
dian to give me their support.
Very truly your fellow citizen

Advice TO Mothers.

Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should
always be used when cutting teeth. 1t re-
lieves the little sufferer at once; it produces
natural. quiet sleep by relieving the child
from pain, and the little cherub awakes as
s.bsight as a button" 1t is very pleasant
to taste. 1t soothes the child, softens the
gems, allays all pain, relieves wind. regu,
lates the bowels. and is the best known
remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from
teething or other causes. twenty-five cents

The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga:
Centlemen-Seven years ago contracted
an exceedingly bad case Of blood poison. l
tried physician, the best at command. but
secured no benefit. My throat began to
get sore, and my body covered with sores
and ulcers. Going from bad to worse, l
felt that my grave must be reached in the
near future. l gave up the doctors treat
ment, and with despairing hope COM
menced taking your medicine. l began to
improve from the first bottle, and in short
time the ulcers healed, and my skin cleared
of and was entirely well.
One year ago a case of cataTh developed
in my system. The physician did his best,
but could not cure me; but two bottles OF
Sw;ft's Specific gave me permanent relief.

inside the car, where he remained during the
trouble The robbers boarded the engine and
commanded the engineer, Bob Rue. and Fireman
Ed Hacknett 10 hold up their hands. Hacknett
was just In the act OF putting shovel OF coal In
the nre6ox, and supposng u was one OF the train

composed OF men residing IN Hickman County,
many OF them not even wearing masks OF any
description Many OF tine avengers, however, wore
handkerchiefs over their faces. The doors OF the
jail were broken assunder with but little confu-
sion, and the nooses were slipped under the ears

denly into the air, where their struggles soon
ceased
About three months ago Sam Price was arrested
near his home In Clinton by sheriff Henry Winter
fOf some violation OF the law. Asking for permits

clothing he suddenly reappeared at the door with
rifle and shot the sheriff In his tracks The deed
was applauded by the mother, who was on the
spot, and who was undoubtedly largely tnstru-
mental In causing the murder. After a long CHASE

Some Balloons Of the Future.
From the Hartford Times.


DR.. Arthur Debausset, Frenchman by birth
and president Of the Transcontinental Aerial Nav
igation Co., has contracted with the nrm OF Miller.
Metcalf Parkn, OF Pittsburg, for the steel to be
used In the manufacture OF mammoth air.ships.
Each Of these ships will be 654 feet long, IA fest
In diameter. cone-shaped, OF steel, and will cost
$4,000 each. The frame work and minor parts
OF the balloon will be made at Jones Laughlin's
American iron works DR.. Debausset stated that
Instead OF gas partial vacuum wouh be en-
ployed, making the aerial plane lighter than II
hydrogen gas were used The steel plates OF the
ships will be LA OF an inch think. Sample steel
plates have been tested and found TO stand the
great atmospheric pressure. "The weight OF the
steel" said Dr. Debausset, Twill be eight and one
half pounds TO the square yard. The total weight
will be 100000 pounds. This does not Include the
car ara, and !, other apparatus The weight Of air
within 1t would be 10000 pounds or 100000
pounds greater than the weight OF the vessel
With only ole-half the air exhausted from the
chamber, the weight removed would be 36O, 900
pounds or 10l 600 pounds In excess OF the weight
OF the shell, giving, therefore, an ascenstOnal
force OF nifty tons. I intend TO let this monster
loose In the armament with car attached TO It,
and that car loaded with passengers, mail and
express matter"

A Story Of John Rrighf.

London Letter to tn e Liverpool Post
have just come across an excellent story Of Mr.
John Bright, which believe has never been told
In print. When that gentleman, in the prime OF
his career accepted the Office OF president or the
board OF trade, he began thus: He called together
the permanent chiefs OF the department, and, ad
dressing them collectively and laconically, said
"Weil, gentlemen suppose you have all got SUM-
cent work to dor And they all OF one accord re-
piled: "We have" The next query Was: "DO you
And the answer came with the saWe unanimity as
before, 1--WE do not" "Well, then, gentlemen
said Mr.. Bright, 81 think will not give you much
trouble during my term OF ONCE" And he was as
good as his word.
