County Official Paper
PAY THE DELEGATES.

Some person has suggested that
delegates to the Constitutional Con-
vention serve without pay. On this
subject the Carson Appeal publishes
a communication from Wells Drury
from which we make the following
extracts:
"A convention composed solely of
delegates who could afford to work
for nothing would not he q repre-
sentative convention, in a true sense
Of the word. It would represent only
the moneyed class. It would be Of
the rich, by the rich and for the rich.
1t would not be Of the people, by the
people and for the people.
"None Of us would like to live under
. government constructed solely by
ono class, whether rich or poor, and
for that reason it is necessary that all
shall have an equal opportunity to be
heard, as in that way alone it is pos
sible to maintain that equilibrium Of
power and influence so necessary to
the we'll being and happiness of the
commonwealth.
IF any are to be favored, those COM
prising the poor or dependent classes
are the ones to receive special advan-
tages. The rich can always take care
of themselves, and they generally do,
oven il constitutions and statutes are
adopted or enacted not entirely to
their liking.
$50 again say, if the good people
Of Nevada want a nav constitution
and expect to have one that will be
founded in wisdom and justice, let
them pay for it like men. Anything
that is not worth paying for is not
worth having. The constitution
should represent the people--the
whole people. Anything short of
that would be usurption-it would be
snarchism."

4 Sleepnng Beauty.

Amboy, H., June 4.-Grace !Girdley a l9-year old daughter of . prominent business man, has been sleeping soundly for nearly two months. She went to oed in her usual gond health on the night of March 10th and could not be arou- sed from sleep the nezt morning. After sleeping about a week she aroused some, getting out of her bed and walking over to a rocking chair where she immediately went to sleep and has not awakened since. Her cheeks are rosy, breathing reg ular, and her sleep is seemingly as natural as that of an infant. All attemps to arouse her are fruitless. She is fed regularly with liquids. Her case is puzzling all the doctors.

How to Get Ria of Prairie Dogs.

MT Ed. T. Kell, writing from Deerfeld, Kansas, says: "During the summer Qf 'a4 destroyed part of ? prairie dog town with strych- nine. I dissolved the strychuine in water and then soak green corn, a little hard for table use, cut from cob, in the water, and threw dozen pr thirty grains near each hole. my bart of the town covered sixty acres pretty thickly-pepulation not stated. The destruction of ths dogs was complete, not enc remain ing. Several applications of the poison were necessary. At this season of the year l would cook or soak dry corn throughly before mix ing with strychnine. Sf the poison stands too long l hardly think the dogs will eat it."

A Sad Accident at Globe.


 A Globe, Arizo a, telegram of a recent date says: "A distressing ac. ,cident happened at Wheat6eld, twelve miles north of Globe, shortly after noon to day, resulting in the death of Jerry Ryan, sheriff of Gila county, and Miss Mary Brush, daughter of Taylor Brush, who were members of a picnicing party from Globe. Miss Frpsh and A. B. Sim mons were boating on Wheatfeld Jake in yrail craft which capsized. Sheriff Ryan and Willis Middleton went to the rescue. Ryan reached Miss Brush, but got entangled in the weeds and both got drowned. Middleton tried hard to save them but was himself pulled under, and reached the shore exhausted. Sim mons clung to the boat until rescued. The bodies were recovered, being in the water only half an hour, and were brought to Globe.
 Ryan is the third sheriff of Gila county to meet death while in nofice. He was a fearless, energetic officer, and was prominently spoken of as the probable democratic canidate for the coming election"

p. LEO SUTHERLAND is AGAIN
WANTED.
On q Charge of FOrgery..-The
Strange Story Of Young Man
Who Started Life Under the
Hanniacf AuSnfooo


Who Started Life Under the
Happiest Auspices.
P. l.. Sutherland is wanted in
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, for forgery.
Chief of Police Hatcher has re-
ceived from the chief of police OF
GAINESVILLE, description of Suth.
land and an offer of S25 reward for
his apprehension.
Switzerland is we'll remembered
as the young drummer VIII figured
in forgery here two or three
years ago, and is the notorious
hero of a wild career ofwickcdness.
He is about twenty-five or thirty
years of age, and the son of a most
respectable and once well,to.do.
farmer of Jefferson county, and
young Sutherland started lie
under the fairest auspices.
But he went wrong. About
two and half years ago be com,
mitted forgeries on j. r. Mercer
d Co, of this city, Dow Law bank,
of Fort Valley, and Heads bank,
Of Forsyth. He skipped out to
Eagle Pass, Texas, where he was
located and brought back to Daw-
son by Chief of Police Hatcher.
The detective received the reward
of 5000 offered by Mercer & Co.,
for his arrest, and turned the
prisoner over to the authorities of
this county. He was placed in jail
on the charge of forgery.
He professed religion while in
Jail, and bee me so thoroughly cons
trite and repentant that he worked
upon the sympathies of the people
OF Dawson. Through the utter
cessions of his father, Mercer &
Go. agreed to a settlement of the
forgery, and after being REIN,
bursed for their losses, agreed not
to prosecute the young criminal.
The cases in Forsyth and Fort
Valley were not pushed, as the
amount Ct the torgeries were small,
and young Sutherland was allowed
to go free, after his family had
paid out large sum to save him.
But he soon got into trouble
again. Ingram & Coles, of Turin,
Ca, were robbed of a lot of goods
some few months later, and the
stolen goods were shipped to Suth>
trland, or, at least, in his name, to
Macon. by the thieves. Detective
Shackelford, ofAtlanta, was called
into requisitlon, and soon located
his man and arrested him.
Sutherland was carried to Griffin
and lodged in Jail. His father
went to work to save hi1, and
finally effected a settlement of the
case and secured his sons release.
The last crime was committed in
GAINESVILLE. Tenn. The forgery
WAS probably q small one, as the
reward offered is so snail. The
description talies exactly with the
young man rs lie was known here,
and Chief Hatcher Iec-
ognized him as an oil acq 1aintance
the moment he received the lett +
from the chief Of police of Clarks>
vile.
The letter states that Sutherland
represented himself MS a tobacco
drummer, and claimed that his
home was in Milledgeville.
