blackened mp asa negro, and secreting the
money in old stockings threw them under
some old clothes in the bottom Of one OF the
biggest trunks that his accomplice could per-
chase. At night. when he thought the Wig
lance of the police was somewhat relaxed
under o belief that he was already out OF the
city, Vines confederate sent nm expressman
to their room, and Vines, in his negro dis
guise, helped the expressman load the trunk
on the wagon. Five holes to give air for
breathing, had been bored by the embezzler,
in the back of the trunk near the lid, where
openings would not be noticed. On the
way to the depot Vines told the ex-
pressman that he intended to beat his way
to st. Louis by going in the trunk, being too
poorto pay his railroad fare. The express
man thought it risky, but did not interfere

trunk was put in the baggage room by the
expressman, the check for the trunk was in
the possession of Vines accomplice. Vines
and the trunk went On board the train, and
the embezzler and his $4,000 were treated
over a hundred miles. That was as long as
the embezzler could stand it.. The air was
sitting and he had been tumbled over and
over until he was sore in every joint. On
making an cutlery he wal released by the
baggage a They did not put him of the
train, but sympathizing with his plea of pow

the journey in a passenger car. The trunk
was carelessly closed by the trainmen, and
it's contents left undisturbed. At St. Louis
the trunk could not be obtained by Vines
without the check, and his confederate did
not put in an appearance. Considerable pity
was expressed by the depot men for Vines,
and a small collection was taken up to buy
him a dinner and supper. His strange story
reached the ears of the police and aroused
their suspicious. Vines description had been
received from the Chicago authorities and a
reading of it resulted in the dispatch of an

IRRITATION A. , sILV1Ss.

The fact that silver ha1 never been
as high since the election of Harrison
as it was before, must convince any
fair minded person that the claim of
Of the Republican party thatit is the
especial champion Of the white metal
is false; and that the interests Of
the silver producers are not subserved
by the SUCCESS of this or that
political party. -..... ..
The silver question, and the sub
ject Of irri1 Ltion, are questions in
which the people Of Nevada have
much greater interest than they have
in the success Of any political party.
as neither of these are political
questions in any sense Of the term;
for Notwithstanding that many voters
honestly believed that the future
welfare of the silver interests depend
ed upon the election of Harrison, the
focts prove that silver has decreased
in value, and that it is lower now
than it ever was under the admins
tration of Grover Cleveland. The
proper method to advance the silver
interests is not to appeal to party
prejudice, but to the sound sense Of
the American people and create such
sentiment as will result in placing
silver where it properly belongs, by
giving it free coinage.
On the subject Of irrigation it is
useless to wait for the government to
take hold Of the matter, for it is
law Of physics that "large bodies
move slowly; and if we wait for the
United States to do for us what we
should do for ourselves, the chances
are that the agricultural interests of
Nevada will not be enhanced to an ap-
preoiable extent in the next decade.
There are great facilities for water
storage in the canyons Of the noun
tains which my be, and will be, util-
lied by the expenditure of COM
paratively small amount of capital,
and if the farmers of each neighbor-
hood will combine and go to work the
problem Of successful irrigation will
soon be solved without depending on
the valuable services of the Senate
Committee on Irrigation.
