Elh County Republican Platform.

WHEREAS. we, Cne representatives
OF the Republicans of Elko county, in
convention assembled, do recognize
the present perplexing condition Of
party affairs, and
;. 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
dinal doctrines of Republicanism,
therefore he it
RESOLVED, That we, as Republicans
OF the State of Nevada, will cast our
votes for those Presidential electors
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.
ResolUed, That, while we endorse
the administration of President Har-
rison for it's able foreign policy, and
general wise administration Of offairs,
we do at the same time most vigor-
ously denounce his UNMARRIED attitude
of hostility to the cause Of silver, and
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
and Representatives on behalf Of the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver
and appreciate the services Of Francis
G. Newlands both in the cause of
silver and irrigation.
ResoiUed, That we feel keenly the
necessity of having an able. aggressive
ard independent advocate for the
cause Of silver in the Senate. We
therefore endorse VIM. ID. Stewart as
a candidate for the Senate.
Resolued, That we endorse Francis
q. Newlands as a candidate for Rep
resehtative from this State.
RESOLVED, That for the purpose of
irrigating lands now valueless, we
favor practical system of reservoirs
for the storage Of waters now running
to waste.

JAY COULD.


louisville I'ost.l
When Jay Gousd is fined for refusing to
serve on Il jury there is general rejoicing
that the majesty of the law is finally tri-
umphant, even against 4 very rich man.
There was rejoicing last summer when Mr..
Gould was assessed 500 for ;his offence,
but it was premature The court report
ers the other day noted that this fine had
been scratched off the books, and inquiry
Developed the fact that Mr.. Gould had
made affidavit to the effect that lie was
sick at the time he was honOrcd with Il
summons to sit on the jury, and was, on
that account, unable to avail himself Of
the pleasure, he would beg, therefore, to
offer this to the court rs a sufficient reason
for his non compliance with the summons,
and would the court kindly remit the fine
of 1915 in accordance with the statute
governing such cases, and the aiiiant would
ever pray, etc. This is supposed to he the
that he was sick, and wicked " all street
man declares that at the very time the big
specujator was drawn on this jury report
reached "thc street" that he WAS i'll up
town, but it was Indignantly denied By Mr..
Gould, his doctor and All the family. This
incident suggests late story told Of the
little wizard, and illustrates how careful
he is to thwart the bears in Wall street in
their attempts to break prices by sprcainS
false reports Of his illness. Mr. Gould, ac-
cordinG to this storv-teller, was somewhere
cruising on vessel when storm came
up and an unusually rough sea gave him
violent attack of NAL de mer. Mr. Gould
was hanging over the rail, acknowlcdg gins
at the same time his own weakness and the
mightiness Of Neptune, when a fellow voy-
ager accosted him:
"Sorry, MIR. Could, to see you so ILL.,.
Mr. Gould without changing his position
over the rail, and not forgetting his duty
when there is any rumor out affecting his
health, replied
"It's.no such thing, sir; I'm perfccly well

SHE LOVED DUNE BRUTES.
Death of d Little Chicago Girl Who Had q
Heart Beyond Her Years

Little Dorothy Langton, The thirteen
year-old daughter of Mrs. E. A. Lanston,
22l2 Prairie avenue, is dead, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Only month ago there appeared an
account of her brave and kind HEARTED
act in making brutal driver stop heat
ing an overadcn horse that had stopped
in front of her mothers house. That
little girl ran out, bare-hcaded, and en-
treated the driver to let her start the
tired animal He granted her request.
After carcssing the patient brute and
rubbing the ridges made upon his sides
by the heavy lash she took hold Of the
bride, and at her gentle command the
horse settled down to his task and drew
the heavy load along as before-nOt,
however, until he had offered evidence OF
his appreciation of the Kindness shown
by rubbing his big nose against the little
girls face.
But Dorothv's efforts in behalf Of dumb
and helpless animals were about to be
cut of forever Within week she was
taken i'll with fever. For Il fortnight
she fingered between life and death, bear
ing her suffering with fortitudc that
was marvellous, until death came to re-
leve her. The funeral services will be
conducted at her mothers house at 80
p. NJ. to-day and the remains will he in
tered ut Oahwoods Cemetery.
Little Dorothy Lanston had everything
to live for. She was 4 swcet-tcmpered
child. beloved by all her playmates and 4
favoritc in the neiShborhood in which she
lived. She had shown. great ability in
drawing and modelling, and had taken the
first prize in her class at the Art lnsti-
tute. In her other studies she was equal
~ proficient and she filled a high place
in the Sunday School conducted by DR..
Burrows church.
But her principle good quality was her
warm love for dumb animals and her con-
slant efforts in their behalf. Every suf-
icring creature found an asylum at her
house. Stray dogs we're subjects OF her
special care and an abused horse would
always cause her to stop and DO what was
in her power to mitigate its suffcrings.
| 81 am going to care for the poor hard
working horses rs long as | live she
said. But even then she stood ut death S
threshold She had performed her last
work in the generous task she had un
dertakcn and had set an example that,
although she is dead will live.

NO FREE COINAGE.
The Silver Men Begin to S@@ That Their
Case Ii hopeless

WAsnlsaYos, D. c., Jan. l4.-Thc silver
miners in the senate mt least haa@ become
convinced that there will be no free coin
age legislation at this session. One OF
them, Senator Teller, today introduced a
resolution Cor an international Monetary
Conference. Such is the only possible
outcome at this session. Free silver men
in the House refused to accept the situa-
rian. They are rampant because other
people tell them that they might as we'll
submit to the inevitable. They are not
content and will contrive to kick, but the
inevitable will be on hand, nevertheless.
When Mr.. Crisp was elected that election
carried with it nc free coinage, neither did
the organizations of the COMMITTEES.

Tramps Form n Trust.

A remarkable organization, of tramps
and deadbcas has been unearthed in this
city; says Guthrie (Qk.l correspondent
Of the Pittshurg Dispatch. The tramps
and thieves Of the entire Southwest have
organized themselves into secret society
known as "Knights of the Road They
have regularly established circuit ex-
tending from Northern Texas through
Oklahoma and Kansas into Missouri, One
man is located at each town, where he
maintains lodging in some old house
which they rent cheap. One Of their
schemes for raising revenue is TO gel. .
how and blister his hand with fly powders
until the back is puffed up, then send him
out to beg from people about town. Men
and boYs are sent out on crutches, with
their arms in splints, and in other shapes
calculated to excite sympathy, and the
money obtained from the guilib!e citizens
goes into The general fund. The lodging
also serves as a good hiding place for
stolen goods.

NINILIST PLOT
Scheme to Blow Up tho Gears Train

Scheme to Blow Up tho Gears Train
ST.. PETERSBURG, jan lt.--Another con-
spiracv has been discovered against the
life of Czar, and two Nihilsts have been
arrested at Moscow in connection With
the attempt. The authorities received
information Of the plot through al anony-
nous letter, which was sent to an olcial
of tho Government. This letter stated
that mine had been laid near small
station on the Moscow and Riazan rail-
way. which it was intended to explode
when the Cars train should pass over
the place. Upon examination of the spot
indicated il was found that y nomh, con-
tanning high explosives, had been placed
uadcr the rail on each side Of the pcrma-
nent way. These bombs were connected
with an electric wire which led into a
wood near by in which " person could read
ily remain concealed The officials who
made the examination concluded that the
wire would have been used in connection
with small battery to explode the the
bombs at the time desired. The Two prls-
oncrs in custody were arrested on state
ment made Ivy 4 plate layer, who said that
they had stopped at his house for several
DAYS, not far from where the bombs were
discovered, and that they appeared to have
no particular business. The revelation OF
tho conspiracy has cast q great gloom
over the Imperial household, as it is said
dat The Gar is gradually coming to the
conclusion that the Nihilists are deter
mined to kill him rs they did his father.
