WHEREAS. We, the representatives
Of the Republicans Of Elko county, in
convention assembled, do recognize
the present perplexing condition of

WHEREAS, We deem this time as
the most BETTING occasion for the
enunciation of our principles, and the
declaration of our loyalty to the car

RESOLVED, That we, as Republicans
OF the State Of Nevada, will cast our
votes for those Presidential elestors

June Gath, 1892.
ReSolUed, That, while we endorse
the administration of President Har-
rison for it's able foreign policy, and
general wise administration Of offairs,

therefore to the interest and general
welfare of Nevada, and all laboring
men throughout the United States.

One of the finest displays of large
sized specimens of tropical plants which
will be shown at the exposition will
come from Jamaica. Col G. j. Ward,
the special commissioner from that
country, has been one of the most en-
thusiastic commissioners in the interest
of the fair, and has been unceasing in
his efforts to have his country properly
represented. The flora of the island is
as rich and varied as any of the tropical
islands of the world, and naturally the
plants and fruits will be of first impor-
tance in its exhibits. At an early date
the extensive botanical gardens were
established and put in charge of wen
trained Englishmen, who are not only
experienced botanists, but experts in
the knowledge of propagating and
growing plants. Fortunately for the
department of horticulture, the
plants have had special preparation fol
distant shipment, and Col. Ward has ar
ranged with the steamship companies
to transport them to American port,
this summer.

A GREWSOME ART.
The Strange Revelation Made by
Floating Corpse.
Tattooed Human Skin In GreAt Demand
A. u Curio-Good Prices Paid for
1t by Merchants An
the Orient.

The finding of an unknown man float
ing in the Delaware river at Philadel-
phia finally led to the discovery of
most grewsome trade practiced by one
of the discoverers of the body. The
dead man, says an exchange of that
city, bore upon his arm some perfect
specimens of the tattooer's art, and
Jacob Zizrachi a Syrian, who assisted
in the recovery of the body, applied for
that portion of the cuticle Of the left
arm which bore an admirable repre-
sentation of the crucifxion. In the
representation of this piece of work the
artist showed master hand Every
detail was perfect
This was what most attracted the
attention of Zizrachi, and he begged
and pleaded with the keeper of the
morgue to give him the strip of
cuticle covered by the picture. He even
offered ten dollars for it, and when told
that he could not have it without an
order from the coroner he storlned and
raved, declaring it to be rightfully his,
anyway, because he had assisted in the
recovery of the body. The keeper
finally told him to call at the morgue
again, and that he would in the mean
time speak to the coroner in regard to
| the matter.
nc OcllR Plltu Will duCStlOio as W
what he intended to do with the strip
of tattooed cuticle after he got it,
Zizrachi said that in Morocco, where he
had passed the greater part of his life,
there were many dealers in curios who
would give him from ten to one hun
dred dollars for such things, according
to the artistic finish of the picture. He
had made hundreds of dollars by trad
ing with these merchants, and had
learned the secret of properly prepar-
ing the skin for framing.
The cuticle is first carefully dried and
tanned and is then treated with a pc
culiar solution of poisonous drugs
which has the effect of bringing into
bold relief the pigment used in the
tattooing. 1t is afterward pressed be
tween two plates of glass and is al
lowed to stand for month or so, aftel
which it is framed and placed on sale
Many prominent citizens of the large,
cities of the orient, the Syrian stated
had the walls of their houses decoratet
with these objects.
In some parts of Arabia, according u
his statement, the sheiks of certain
tribes always had their own portrait
, tattooed upon their backs. After tn
death of one them the cuticle bearin
the portrait was carefully cut ava
and prepared according to the usua
process and rcverently carried fror
place to place by the bereaved tribe
/, Zizrachi said that the picture on th
arm of the drowned man at thr morgu
, would be worth fifty to sixty dollars
him.

BEHIND THE TIMES.

In the matter of road building, we
are behind other civilized nations.
Our laws are very lax on this much
neglected question, and if possible,
our practice is still more lax. We
need to be educated on the subject of
road building, and the lessons that
would be given by comprehensive
exhibit at the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position would be means Of instrdc-
ton which is much needed. The
governor Of South Dakota says:
"While South Dakota has the best
natural roads in the world, which
largely accounts for her wonderful
prosperity, their improvement to per-
fection would double the net products
of the state"
If roads would do so much for
Dakota, where nature has done 80
much, what would roads do for
Idaho? We are ashamed to say, but
In many places, where there was no
obstacle to travel in the natural state,
our civilization has made ii extremely
difficult to travel; where roads were
comparatively direct, they have been
fenced up, making them tortuous, and
where they were dry and firm, they
have been flooded by bitches and
made almost impossible for even
light vehicles. The bitches are not
bridged and their crossing is dangsf-
Gus. What we need, especially in
Ada county, is general awakening
on the road question. We are behind
the times, and it is safe to say that
bad roads are the greatest impedi-
ment to our prosperity. -Nampa

A Mans Queer Method of Taking Re
freshment.
The other day young man sauntered
into saloon, says the Savannah (Ga.)
News, and asked for a glass of beer.
The barkeeper, a German, recognizing
in the stranger fellow-countryman
set out glass of the required beverage
for his rejection. Taking the glass in
his hand, the stranger walked to the
end of the bar, opened his coat and pro-
ceeded to pour the beer into funnel.
'sPhat you do with dot beer?" shouted
the astonished bartender. 81 am drink
ing it," replied the stranger, calmly
emptying the last drop into the funnel
and placing the glass on the counter.
The barlzeeper was paralyzed, and moth
ing short of full explanation fully re-
assured him. 1t developed that the
stranger had some time ago swallowed
some carbolic acid by mistake, which
had caused structure of the throat. He
is unable to- swallow even liquids, and
his only means of taking food or drink
is through tube which runs into his
stomach. Through this he drinks and
cats, first chewing his food and then
passing it through the tube into his
stomach. His case was such a rare one
that the barkeeper took him to sec
some of the doctors of the city. He il

suffer much from his strange affiiction
conversing readily, though unable u
swallow anything at all. The tub'
through which he takes his food is re
moved when not in use, and when he il
hungry he places it in position, an'

Governor Wiley sends his thanks

The Commander in Chief desires
to express his thanks to the officers
and enlisted men of Company B. for
their prompt offer of their services
and skillful performance Of their
duties during the recent disturbance
in Shoshone County. Most Of you
were called suddenly from workshop
and offices and from various scenes of
labor and handicraft. You were
hastily and poorly equipped. You
had long journey in prospect. But
in spite of all these difficulties all nv
information concurs that your conduct
during the trying scenes of the
campaign has been worthy of all
commendation There were grave
dangers to face. The affair has not
been one of mere military parade OF
a holidays recreation. The result
shows that the military spirit of the
Idaho National Guard compares mos,
favorably with that of any older state
of long experience. The Colonel
commanding and all the officers il
the field join me in commencing boil
officers and men for their exemplary
conduct and soldierly behavior L
would be presumptous to hope tina
your services may never again be re
quired in the field but should such al

believed that whenever duty calls tn

Political Polnt.rs.

Northern papers don't seem to
want Mcconnell nominated.
The Borah boom for the attorney
geferalship rs steadily growing.
1t is said that P. J. PeHey, of
Boise, will head the Peoples Party
ticket for governor.
Captain Wells evinces disposition
to accept the republican nomination
for governor should McConnell's
boom fail to come to head
The report, which may be true or
not, is afioat that the peoples party
in Ada county has engaged the
Caldwell Tribune to do battle for the
cause.
The Idaho Democrats boom for
Stevenson for governor seems to be
the only real live democratic boom
now extant, unless that of John M.
Burke, Of Shoshone county, can Is
considered as such;
1t wouldn't do at all for Watlington
to run for state treasurer, as limited
at by the Nampa Leader, because the
Idaho Citizen would, as foregone
conclusion, crush him out of
existence.
The peoples party can probably
carry Washington county by strict
party vote, but the man who will hold
party afiiliation above official capacity
in selecting county officers, is entirely
too weak minded to be trusted in any
matter requiring good sane judg-
ment. The idea that the Office Of
county sheriff, or probate judge, OF
, assessor, or any other county Office,
cuts any figure in the carrying out o1
the national principles of party, Il
too utterly ridiculous, and exists
only In the unsound brain.

The patriotic citizen who frequents
the galleries of the Senate and House
to note the progress Of legislation
and to be entertained by spicy debates
on pending measures gets slight com
pensation for his troubles at this
stage of the session. Speech making
is practically at an end, and with few
exceptions the remarks that are made
are short, crisp, and to the point.
With Congress on ''the home stretch
the members are extremely anxious
to escape from their long confinement.
The halls of Congress have been aptly
described by some expert in the use
of words as ''box within a box, =
where each member is serving out the
sentence imposed on him by the peo'
pie. 1t is still very apparent, how
ever, that many of them would be
perfectly willing to receive a 'lif'
