County Official Paper
AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.

The Reno Gazette applied to the
Governors Of Wyoming and Wash
ington for copies Of their election
law, based on the Australian ballot
system. r. H. Repsth, Private Secre-
tary to the Governor of Wyoming
writes:
with this mail send you a copy
Of said law and beg to inform you
that as whole our new election law,
under which our first State election
was recently held, is a decided sue
cess. Our first State Legislature is
at present in session, having convened
on the 18th ult., and it is generally
understood that some action will be
taken relative to curing some minor
defects which exist in the law as it at
present stands, but such defects are
unimportant, but whatever legislation
on the matter is accomplished during
the present session / shall be pleased
to furnish you if you will so request"
Lieutenant Governor Charles E..
Laughton, now Acting Governor Of
Washington, writes as follows:
81 am in receipt Of your favor Of the
18th ultimo and it affords me pleasure
to mail you to-day a copy of our cleo
ton law. So far as am advised (the
law having been in operation but
little less than one Year, our election
law has proven most satisfactory. A
further trial of our mode of balloting
may suggest some improvements upon
our present law, but thus far there
has seemed to be no objection. 1t
affords the voter the most ample pro-
lection in his balloting, and, in my
opinion, exercises a most beneficial
tendency towards preserving the pu-
rity of the ballot"

BABY STOPPED CRYING.
How Little Cherub Was Buried In
Sponge-Cake and Silence.


Sponge Cake and Silence.
On an eastbound Erie train there was
baby that made the lives of all its fell
low-passengers miserable. 1t was, says
the New York Tribune, one of those
small, unassuming babies with weak
eyes and freckles, and lungs as power
full as q yachts mainsail.
In vain the fond mother handled and
kneaded her melodious infant, it settled
down into steady weep that seemed to
be measured by the mile. The passen-
gers glared and scowled and all who
could moved away. When Port Jervis
was reached there was temporary lull,
and an exhausted old lady, who sat just
behind the source OF trouble and was too
burdened with boxes and bundles to
move, seized the opportunity to fall
asleep. Again the train started; few
miles were passed in peace, and then
the infant terror of the car leaned its
little speckled countenance far back
over It's mothers shoulder and almost in
the ears OF the old lady shrieked again.
There was an expression of despair on
the old woman's face. She extracted
capacious box from the many boxes and
bundles about her, opened it and took
out slab Of sponge-cake three inches
square. The weeping infants eyes fol-
lowed this proceeding with some in
terest, though not enough to reduce its
lament, and just as its mouth was open
widest to get the best purchase on
sound, in went the sponge-cake as far
and as firmly as moderate push Of the
old lady's hand permitted.
Sound ceased in an instant, and with
eyes popping with horror the baby
was buried in sponge-oake and silence.
Its alarmed mother looked around in
surprise.
How old is your ohildp" inquired the
old woman, with benevolent but sig
nificant look.
"Eleven months, ma'am."
Dear little thingl I've just given 1t a
picco of cake. Children love cake SO
dearly" $500 +. 49,

The Most Profitable Horses.

Speaking Of raising horses, Gays the
Reno Gazette, we believe that the
time has come when breeders should
devote themselves to breeding good
roadsters and let up on the big Nor
mans. A trim-built traveller that
will weigh eleven or twelve hundred
is handy horse to have. They are
quick and active, and big enough for
general farm purposes. They have
Il ready sale in the markets Of the
world, while the overgrown Clydes-
dale, Percheron and Norman are only
hit for show and heavy work. Nearly
every breeder in this State, and, in
fact, every other Pacific Coast State,
has been raising big draught horses
until the markets are full of that class
of stock, with no sale, or, IL sale is
made, it is at very low price. A
good roadster, stylish and compact,
can be sold most any day for one hun
dred or one hundred and twenty-five
dollars, while the big, clumsy CIydes.
dale or Norman, with bad feet, goes
begging even in the San Francisco
market.

FREE COINAGE.

The statement of Senator Vest tn at
Grover Cleveland has been converted
to the doctrine of the fr+e coinage Of
silver by the United States govern
mont while foreign governments do
not recognize the metal, has not been
denied by Mr.. Cleveland up to date
[Carson Appeal.
Well, are we obliged to look to for
eign governments for instructions as
to our action in reference to silver?
According tn the Appeal we must
wait until "foreign governments rec
ognize the metal" before we can take
any action in reference to free coin
age. Is the United States govern
ment, or are we simply dependency
Of foreign powers? The Congress of
the United States should legislate for
the people Of the United States, and
not in the interest of "foreign govern
ments."

How = Young Couple Nearly Lost Their

How Young Couple Nearly Lost Their
Wedding Trip After All.
When young newspaper man was
married short time ago his arrange
ments at the Office were such that it was
impossible for him just then to go away
on the usual bridal tour, says the New
York Tribune. stNeVer mind, dear" he
said to his wife, tive will have our tour
later, and it won't be 30 bad after all,
for we will have all the more money
then to enjoy it with" The young bride
was somewhat disappointed, naturally,
but was happy enough when she had set
tied down to home life with her husband
in coy apartments uptown.
At last the young man got vacation,
and made arrangements for the tour
without having taken which no bride
ever could be supremacy happy. The
trunks were being packed when the hus-
band handed his wallet to his wife, say
ing: ''You had better take care Of that,
dear. All our money is in it, and it will
be safer with you than with me-" The
wife was wonderfully pleased at the
great financial trust reposed in her, and
she determined that no robber should
pick her pocket of the treasure. Her
husband had gone out to arrange for
carriage, and the bride, hoping to do
something that would be regarded es-
pecially prudent, placed the wallet in
the bottom of trunk containing a lot
of dresses and other things. This hap
pened to be trunk that was to go as ex-
cess baggage and was called for in ad-
vance of the rest of the luggage. The
trunk was sent away and later the regu-
lar baggage wagon came around for the
rest of the luggage.
The young couple drove to the sta
ton, where the young man said: LET
me have the wallet and I'll go buy the
tickets" The bride turned pale, then
red, and at last began to cry. II put it
in the extra trunk" she sobbed, $50 no
one could steal it from me-"
'The deucep exclaimed her husband,
who was in a serious dilemma. He
soothed his bride, however, saying it
would come out all right. Hurrying
to the baggage-room he found that the
trunk had gone by an express an hour
before, checked through to Niagara
Falls, rs had been arranged for. The
intention had been to save expense by
sending the extra baggage through to
Niagara Falls, as it was not needed at
once, the couple desiring to spend day
or two at other points not so far away
The young man had only some small
change left. Leaving his wife at the
station he rushed downtown to the
Office and explained affairs to the CASH
Ter, who gave him the money needed to
carry out his plans. The tour began
with a later train, and the wallet was
recovered all right. The cashier thought
the story too good to keep; and when
the young man came back it was always
his turn "to treat" for a week.

Bureau VIII Report 1t.

WASHINGTON, September ia caucus of
Republican Senators was held this morning
for the purpose of agreeing upon the order
of business for the remainder of this session
of Congress. There was a full attendance
of Senators. Senator Edmunds presided. 1t
was decided to limit the programme to the
following bills to be considered in the Or
der named after the report of the conference
committee on the land grant forfeiture bill
is disposed of: The anti-lottery mail bill !;
2, the bill to repeal the timber culture act !;
8, the bill to establish private land claim
courts; 5, the bill for the relief of the Su-
preme Court; 4, the bill for the adjustment
OF claims Of laborers, ETC., under the eight
hour law; 6, the bill making eight hours a
days work for laborers, etc. in government
employ or employed by contractors doing
government work; 7, the bill to transfer the
revenue marine service from the Treasury

of claims arising from Indian depreciation ;
10, the Torrey bankruptcy bill; IL, the bill to

1t was the opinion, so far as expressed,
that until the tariff bill was finally disposed
of, the day for adjournment could not be in

opinion was freely expressed that after the
tariff bill was disposed of, quorum could
be held for only short time.
