Why Is 1t?

The murcury at Elko Christmas
day went to 30 degrees below zero,
says the Independent.
1t would be interesting to know
just why Elko has the coolest weather
in Nevada. Three years ago the
thermometer reached % below zero,
which is an Arctic temperature. No
other place in Nevada ever reached
such "a low temperature.

A Delightfully."- Frank Young Man.

A GOOD story is going the rounds of bright
but unsophisticated youth from the country
who had influence enough to get him a good
birth in ew York agency, says the Brooklyn
Citizen. The managing partner was much
pleased with the youths manliness, and after
giving him full instructions as to his duties
sent him to canvass in New England.
OF course, said the manager I'VE expect
you to be economical i'll your expenses and to
Keep detailed account of them"
1t WAS not likely that the youth from the
country was going to escape guying by his willy
co-employes.

We'll I'm all right in that respect, said the
youth, lam 1 nots'

another. for, Of course. you'll get a suit of
clothes out of your first trip
The youth accomplished his Journey, and on
his return presented TO the manager an item

over and said:
II don't understand this last item: One suit

On the youths retui from his second trip he
gave the manager a bill of expenses. The man

DR.. Palmer and the Lottery.

The indications are that the political
campaign in Louisiana next fall will be the
bitterest in the history of the state. The
chief issue will be the amendment to the
constitution providing for extending the
charter Of the Louisian a Lottery Company
for twenty-five years. If the amendment
is adopted the lottery company will pay the
state 81 $4,000 year
A few days ago big meeting OF those op-
posed to the lottery was held in New Or
leans. he principal speaker was the Rev.
DIR. Palmer, who is well known throughout
the whole country, and who is. perhaps, the
leading pulpit orator of the south. His
speech, which was strong attack upon the
lottery, is being bitterly criticised by those
OF the New Orleans newspapers which
support the lottery company. Speak
ing of the doctors speech the
Times Democrat says: dropping from
the cool nights of his vocation into the hot
arena Of politics DR.. Palmer delivered a
discourse which, on its ultimate analysis,
is conditional injunction to the shedding
OF blood. He, minister of the gospel
whose all-pervsding doctrine is love, de-
liherately sowed the seeds of animosity and
Of strife. He. who in virtue of his high
Office is the conservator of peace and the
upholder Of organized justice aud of consti-
tutional law, explicitly counseled his fol-
lowers that, if they could not have
their will in the way and by the
means appointed by the constitution
aud the laws, they were authorized
to trample laws and constitutions under
foot, and execute their will by the hand of
force. And against whom is it that he in>
invokes this illegal force! Against the
fathers, sons, brothers and fellow-citizens of
those VINO are thus invoked"
The foregoing is the Interpretation which
the Times Democrat puts upon the doctors
speech. No doubt the doctor spoke his
mind freely about the lottery, but it is
difficult to believe he counseled those on
posed to the lottery to use force to accom-
plish their object if they could not accom-
plsh it by peaceful means. That he favors
using all lawful means to defeat the lot
terry party there is no doubt, but it is
doubtful if he said anything that justifies
the statement that he is an "instigator Of
violence and revolution"
The campaign is going to be a memora-
BILE one in the history of Louisiana. 1t is
certain to be marked by a great deal of
violence. Each party is determine to
carry its point 1t will be impossible to
prevent the use of incorporate language.
and blows will follow hastily spoken words
The character of the campaign is pretty
fairly indicated by DR.. Palmers speech and
the comments upon it.
Its impossible to predict with any degree
of certainty whether the lottery or the
anti-lottery party will win. If it were not
for the money with which the lottery COM
pany is so abundantly supplied the proha-
bilties are that the sntilottery party would
be successful. And it has good chance
for success notwithstanding the lottery COM
pany's money.

Ee Was Ratified.

On Wednesday evening young man with a
pretty woman on his arm entered the Hotel
Boyer, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. At the
door they parted, she remaining in the vesti
bule, where her rustic beauty caused a senss-
ton, while he went up to the desk and regis
tered. He vas evidently nervous, for he nearly
put the wrong end of the pen in the ink, and
finally wrote MIR. and Mrs. Blank and wife, and
forgot to set down the place he came from
The clerk, however, was used to such vagaries
and assigned the newly married couple to a
room. the bridegroom taking the key. still in
state OF fusterment, forgot all about the
bride he had left upon the threshold and hur-
ried upstairs.
When he reached the room of course be re-
membered his life partner, and returned head
long to the office to find her But in the mean.
while the clerk had observed Mrs Blanks
plight and sent bell-boy to take her to her
room. So when the bridegroom landed in the
lobby he found no trace of his better half and
his CONSERVATION was indescribable BY this
time good many people about the lobby had
got wind of the singular comedy that was being
played, and bets were offered as to whether the
bridegroom would throw himself into the Allie
pheny or call for the police. Before any such
tragic ending to the drama could take place.
however the clerk informed the husband where
his wife was, and a reunion of a most affecting
nature was soon brought about in the corridor
above,

Florida's Experimental station.

Florida doesn't appear to be altogether
satisfied with her agricultural experimental
station. A year or two ago, if we are not
mistaken, some dissatisfaction with its
management cropped out. A legislative
committee visited the station during the re-
cent session Of the legislature, and, not find
ing an altogether satisfactory condition of
affairs, made some charges against DR..
James P. DePass, the director, and others
of the officers
The experimental station is maintained
in connection with the agricultural college,
and some of the trustees of that institution
met at the college, in Lake City, on Tues
day, for the purpose Of investigating the
charges, which relate largely to the manner
in which the funds of the station have been
expended.
1t seems to be unde: stood that the inves-
tigation is not formal trial Of the officers,
but only a preliminary examination for
the purpose OF finding out il there is suffi-
cient ground for the charges. II the testi-
mony seems to sustain the charges the
officers will be given notice that they will
have to stand formal trial
Director DePass was examined at con-
siderable length. Nothing in his testimony
showed that he had been guilty of any
wrong doing Of a serious character. tap
peared that his business methods were not
of very commendable kind. The ap-
parent discrepancies which appeared in
the accounts of the station were due, ac-
cording to the testimony, to the practice of
diverting money to objects other than those
for which 1t was originally appropriated,
Unless something more serious should
come to light than anything yet discovered
the trustees of the college will hardly re-
gard more formal investigation necessary.
Apparently some things that have been
done at the station have been made to seem
to have character they did not possess.
However, the investigation will doubtless
have the effec. Of making the officers of the
station a little more careful in the manage
ment OF its affairs.

any strong feeling of loyalty to the British
crown. Such sentiments would not be
