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

the most BETTING occasion for the
enunciation Of our principles, and the
declaration of our loyalty to the car

therefore he it ....
Resolved, That we, as Republicans
Of the State of Nevada, will cast our
votes for those Presidential ele ,tors
of this State, whom we know to be
unreservedly in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver equally
with gold, and who will cast the cleo
toral vote Of the State of Nevada for
no one, who does not favor the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1. And we therefore
recommend the voters of this county
to cast their ballots for the silver
electoral ticket, nominated at Reno,
June oath, 1892. .
RESOLVED, 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.
RESOLVED, That We fully endorse
the energetic work of our Senators

therefore endorse VIM. VI. Stewart as
candidate for the Senate.

irrigating lands now valueless, we
favor a practical system Of reservoirs
for the storage of waters now running
to waste.
Resolued, That we favor the build.
ing OF competing railway through
this State, and consider this. next to
the free coinage Of silver and irriga

TIE DEACON UNwITrINGLY BE-
COMES A "sHIRT-sLEEVE CHRIS
TIAN.o
1t was Wednesday night-the regular
night for the weekly prayer meeting
and the lecture room was uncOmmonly
full. The pastor had taken for his sub
ject the necessity of Christian work, and
he grew more than usually eloquent over
his theme. He exhorted his hearers to
put the same earnestness and force into
their spiritual labOrs as they did into
their business, says the Youths Com
pdnion.
"Why," he continued, "when come
round to see you in your working hours,
in your offices and shops, or on your
farms, don't find you with kid gloves
on. No, your hands are bare and your
coats are off and sleeves turned well
back out of the way; you're working
then. Now we want the same thing in
the church; we want more shirt-sleeve
Christians
Having reached this climax, the
homely force of which made visible
impression upon his hearers, he called
upon good old Deacon Shepard to lead
in prayer.
The deacon, as usual, sat in the front
row, and his long, spare form rose slowly
and with characteristic dignity. The
Sc at was near the big wood stove, and
the fire was hot one. He thought it
wise, therefore, before beginning his pc
titiOn, which was always of liberal
length, to remove his heavy overcoat.
But as the deacon's overcoat was too
small, while the undercoat was too large,
it was easier to take off the two gar
ments than the outer one alone. The
deacon knew this, and was accustomed
to button the inner coat before removing
the other.
Unfortunately on this occasion he
had neglected the precaution. The con-
gregation was waiting. He gave quick
tug at each sleeve, closed his eyes and
began to pray.
Some irreverent boys whose eyes were
open quickly observed the deacon's
strange conduct, the smiles became
broader and more audible, and presently
the minister himself glanced up aud saw
that the sol crest and most dignified
officer of the church had taken him
literally at his word and was standing up
before the whole house, on cold winter
night, praying in his shirt sleeves.

SERVANTS, is IT.

The newly rich have their trials the
same as other people. The Rilgoys have
recently come into fortune and are am
bilious of social prominence. They have
an Old-fashioned relative of unmistak-
able Irish origin and as genuine as she is
old-fashioned. She has been accustomed
through life to using the basement en-
trance. The recently acquired wealth of
the RilgOys has cast no stigma on that
lower portal in her estimation. There
fore when she visits them she rings the
bell at the area entrance.
The mistress of the mansion heard
her familiar tones in the hall below stairs
the other day and was vexed. Then she
called down:
"Oh, aunt, why do you come in at the
servants entrance ?''
Then came the answer in rich, full
blogue:
Servants, is it? Shure an it's not so

SOME OF THE HARDSHIPS THE
LACK TOWNS HAVE TO MEET.

SOME OF THE HARDSHIPS THE
BACK TOWNS HAVE TO MEET.
The reason why farms are deserted in
the back districts is practically illus
trated, says the Springfield Republican,
every year in the hill towns of Franklin
county. In towns like Rowe, Heath and
Hawley, the agricultural resources of
which are capable of sustaining double
the present lumber of people, the loss of
buildings by fire, the death of the owner
of the farm, etc., are direct blows at the
prosperity of the sparsely settled regions.
Here and there one sees the sites of farm
houses that tell of fire, and the land is
abandoned, as the brush and briars attest,
and perhaps becomes an out pasture lot
for some neighboring farmer. Again the
owner of the farm dies, it may be at
good old age, and his sons and daughters
in the large towns and cities-prefer to
sell the old homestead rather than live
on it, for the buildings are dilapidated
and no business worthy of notice in the
town, and the land is sold by auction to
somebody who wants more grazing
grounds for sheep. In what is called
the Burnt Hill district at Heath there
are only four habitable farm houses oc-
cupied by their owners. Less than 40
years ago the houses were eleven in
number One house was burned and
most of the others are in ruins. The
former inhabitants are dead or in other
and more favored localities as to bust
ness. Yet the land is productive. 1t is
the same old story with Catamount hill,
Coleraine, the Square" at Hawley and
West Center at Rowe. Nearly every hill
town has deserted farms, more or less,
deserted as farms, but utilized to some
extent as pasture and outlet moving
plats. 1t is to be regretted that so much
cheap land, though naturally productive,
should remain in a semi-wild condition,
considering the fact that railway depot
can be reached from the most remote
corner of the towns mentioned in less
than two hours.

A. WOMAN'S CHAT.

1t is really not necessary for the pre-
servation of womanly dignity tc glover
fiercely at everybody who looks at you
on the street or in the cars. 1t is not in
variably intended as an insult. If a wo-
man makes herself as pretty as she
knows how before leaving home, and
what woman does not, is 1t not just bit
unreasonable to be disguised if the result
is appreciated. The disgust would be
more in place, according to some ones
theory, if nobody noticed how we'll you
were looking. 1t may be bit of intense
pleasure to the man or woman opposite
to look at pretty nose or pair of eyes,
and what woman would deny so small a
favor? Then, besides, an impertinent
stare will be much more efficaciously
done away with by simply turning away.
An offended look will only give the cad
the satisfaction of knowing that it is in
his power to annoy you.

If there is anything more coldly I'M
characteristic than type written letter,
please tell me what it is. The little turns
and twists we look for at the end of GER
tain words have degree of individuality
about them that brings the writer before
ones eyes. Sometimes the written lines
run up the page and sometimes they
struggle down, but they always follow
and illustrate the bent of the writer's
mind, and if one has to puzzle while
over an illegible word or two it only
makes the pleasue of reading the letter
last longer. Who living ever tied up a
bundle of type written letters with
blue ribbon and treasured them for
years ? And not the most blindly ador-
ing girl ever filled her ribbon drawer
with missives cliqued off on the noisy
little machine. Howells says: 1.-THE
man of the future will not know how to
write, he will typewrite." If that be
true, the woman of the future won't
keep his letters.

A lot of girls were discussing the other
day the we'll worn question of giving
seats in the 81" cars. One said she
always gave her seat to a gray haired
woman, unless the hair was banged. The
owner of frizzled, heavy locks might
also stand, but smooth, dignifiedly
waved gray hair always had her seat in
an instant. Gray locks that struggle
from under blonde or brown wig also
came in for depreciation and the girls
banded themselves together and vowed
never to regard such with reverence.
And finally one of the party with whom
the world had gone a little hardly said
that her chief reason for joining in the
Governors Thanksgiving proclamation
this year had been because her mother
wore her own soft gray hair, while so
many other girls mothers decorated
Themselves with false fronts.
