Somewhat Of q surpriss.

We learn, says the White Pine
News, that the safe OF the late DIR.
Herrick OF Hamilton has been opened
by the administrator OF the estate,
Archie Beaten, and very little of
value found therein. There was no
will or other documentary evidence to
show that the doctor was possessed of
any money or property in the East or
in California, as was generally sup
posed. About two thousand dollars in
notes, mostly without security, and
considered worthless, was, we are in
formed. about all that was found in the
safe. The doctor had always been
supposed to be possessed of consider
able money, and this post norton
showing is a surprise to everybody.
Neither had he been the crusty old
bachelor he had been taken for for
thirty years, for a wife and daughter
survive him at New Haven, Conn. All
OF which adds another chapter to the
strange sensations Of our neighboring
town during the past decade.

NEVADA IN rms SWIM,

In his younger and more innocent days
the Hon. Charles E. Laughton browsed
for q while on ,he mountain sides and
in the mining camps OF Nevada. He con-
ceived In this way q warmth Of affection
for that rotten borough OF silverdom which
clings TO him like q drst mortgage lien.
Anybody or anything that halls from Ne
vads. or ever lived in Nevada, or can
prove that he or IL, whichever the case
may be. ever stayed over night in Nevada,
can have a%nythlngin the gubernstorial shop.
This free-masopry extends chiefly 70 what
ever plums in the way Of patronage or in
iuenoe dAngle from the Governors official

or grandchildren Of Nevada present they
reach up and pick what they van first.
and If there is anything left OF "the party"
when they are satisfied 1t is turned over TO
the cheap citizens who never lived in Ne
vada.
For instance, there we're a handful Of
people who wanted the judgeship OF Clallam
county under the new judicial bill. Some
we're so Identified with the county that
they actually lived within its limits. The
Governor found, however, when be cast
bis eye over the expectsnt host that 10 con-
tanned a dear old colleague from Nevada.
This was James @. McClinton. He was
for q number OF years on the bench OF Ne
vads and a member Of the Nevada consti-
tutional convention. That settled 10. II
was uselsss for any one else to hold his
hands up. The judgeship was gracefully
passed over TO the Jefferson county states
man, who has bis domicile in Port Town
send. But that cuts no figure. The man
who has ever lived in Nevada cares no
more for county lines than q slight crick
In the neck. He Is at home in Patagonia
or Bangkok " IL there is anything in it,"
The same mantle OF Nevada fellowship
has also fallen over the shoulders OF State
Geolsgist Bethune, another nugget from
the Silver State. He had 9 bill thrust
upon the tender attention OF the legisla-
ture appropriating $50, 900 for q mining
bureau. Somehow IL didn't appeal to the
legislative sense with that force which
Brother Bethune desired. In fact, IL
showed a tendency TO be snubbed on all
occasions and get hopelessly ditched IN the
mire. But one day Mr.. Bethune, like our
old friend Aladdin, rubbed his magical
Nevada lamp and at once the Hon. Laugh
ton rushed to his relief in brotherly haste
and the bill was rsilroAded through by fast
express.
Keep your eye now on the last compton
Gus colleague from Nevada. Gen. Curry,
Of Spokane. There WAS q judgeship for
that thriving bailiwick going around In
search Of q claimant and the General filed
his caveat. 9 Nevada cavest. too, on the

sion TO remark that Its digestion would be
better IL the position went TO somebody
else, but these are not times to consider

After Light.

ED. APPEAL: Do you consider the
Australian Ballot bill as passed by the
last Legislature as absolutely prevent
ing vote buying, N II 1t does not nov
would you frame a bill that would?
PUBLIC ENQUIRER.
No bill a absolutely prevent cor
ruption, but it is the general opinion
that vote purchasing will be reduced
to a minimum under this bill. One of the
surest ways to keep coin and its cor
rupting influence away from the vot-
ers is to place the coin in the hands Of
some " professional sack bearer who
will sink enough of the money to en-
able him to live in clover until the
next campaign. Some of these sack
bearers in Ormsby county have been
so conscientiously opposed to corrupt
ing voters that they have kept nearly
all Of the money themselves.-Carson
Appeal.
There are other counties where the
sack bearers "have kept nearly all
the money themselves"

A Dead Fraud.

An itinerant vender of solder, with a
GLIDE tongue, did " the town of Ely
last Monday. His stock in trade con-
sisted Of small sticks Of solder which
he sold to the good housewife for 25
and so cents a stick, after satisfactor-
lily explaining its modus operandi by
punching holes in tin cans and with
the solder and a lighted candle to melt
it, sealing them up in a gify. The
young man vas in a hurry, and after
"doing" the town lostno time In getting
out. When his panacea for all the ills
that tinware is heir to was tried on
leaky vessels it was found n. &. On
new tin it works all right, but on rusty
pans or burned out pots it's no good.
In other words, it's a dead fraud
