Tacoma. Wash. Sept. 10, 1889,
To Whom it May Concern;
This is to certify that 1, George A. Burbank
witnessed the exhibition of the Lindgren
chemical engine test to-day, and as have
witnessed great many such chemical tests
IN New York City, Boston, Mass, and other
large cities in the East, hereby state that il
was the quickest and most satisfactory test,
and was also pronounced so by two of our
councilmen and all the citizens present, and
Will also state that the time of applying the
chemical was left entirely to me and did not
give the word until the fire was well started,
for In other tests have witnessed they have
always put the chemical on the minute the
fire was started and water would answer just
as well, as there was nothing but the fame
started and the wood not charred, and take
great pleasure in recommending the Lind
gren" as far superior to any other Chemical
engine on the market.
(Signed) GEORGE A. BURBANK,
Secretary Paid Fire Department,
Director of the Northwestern Fire Associa-
tion.

LOOK OUT FOR FIRE.

To Theater Owners, Managers and Whom it
May Concern
This is to certify that have equipped the
Windsor theater in this city with the Lind
gren stationary chemical fire engines. After
examining all other systems Of fire protection,
and after repeated tests of the Lindgren sta
tionary chemical fire engine, and upon the re-
commendation of the insurance under-writ-
ers. have no hesitation in pronouncing it
the cheapest and most powerful, as well as
perfect, fire protection for theaters ever in
vented. In my opinion every theater ard
opera house in the United States, as we'll as
Europe, should be equipped with these chem
ical fire engines, and thus save the loss of life
and thousands of dollars in property,
Respectfully,

THE INTERSTATE LAW.

The Railway attorneys in Congress
are aSitAting the Question of the repeal
of the Interstate Commerce law. It is
claimed that the law il injurious to the
railway interest. The fact is that the
railway interest is suffering more from
violation of the interstate law by secret
rateAcutting than from any other cause.
AS far as Nevada is concerned the Inter
state Commerce law might almost as
we'll MT exist. The determinations
made against US, under cover of all ap-
parent compliance with tho law, effec-
tdully prevents the development Of even
that part of the State through which
the railway runs. Still the law must
not be repealed. It is at l-nBt for
NAL assertion that the people have
rights which ought to he, even though
they are not respected. # Phoebe Rec

The popular estimation of Nevada
s enatorship reminds us of an incident
that occurred during the White Pine ex-
cltement in 1869. A chep hud sold a
mining location for $4,000. He was
greatly inflated by this sudden acquisi-
ton of wealth and imagined that he
owned controlling interest in the eurth
and mortgage on the shares of the
other small stockholders. He had a
dispute ono day with man in Hamilton
when, after a few spirited words, he
puralyzed his opponent by exclsiming:
"D-n you, if you give me any more of
your jaw I'll kill you and pay for yor."
If man wants a Nevada U. s. Ssna.
torship it il generally believed that all

that II whaling feet is fitting out ut

Never Will Make the Race.
From the Atlanta Constitution

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Here's a good story, fresh from Caroline
county, told about that genial politico-chame-
lion, George Russum. The fact that Mr.. Rus
sum has been a candidate on either one side or
the other for nearly every Office in the county
has been the cause Of no little sport at his ex-
pense. If he were defeated one year upon the
democratic ticket he would next year fall in
line with the republicans, and once or twice,
in times gone by, it is said that he invaded
the ranks OF the Independents.
The late presidential election was drawing
near when Mr.. Russum was one day approached
by substantial old farmer OF the section, who
hailed him thus:
.'See, here. George, what are you running for
this time? I've been supporting you now nigh
twenty years for district attorney. Judge, clerk
OF the court, county commissioner and heaven
knows what else besides. When you Topped /
Topped"
Mr.. Russum smiled pleasantly and exclaimed
as he placed his hand upon his supporters
shoulder: Il thank you, my friend. I'm out
of politics."

Hayseed.
