ERNEST SILVER MEN.

The Convention at Winnemucca
on Thursday was charactized by an
ernestness and harmony not abserv
BILE in the old party Conventions in
Nevada.
At Winnemucca there was Witness
ed none of the scenes of turbulence,
confusion and childs play which made
the Republican convention at Reno
and the Democratic gathering in this
city, is laughing stock throughout
the State.
The reason of this is that the old
party men are unable to make any
more in politices without first enter
tanning a selfish consideration of how
they are to be personally effected
by the election.
The men who desired in both con
yentions to show their tremendous
devotion to the old parties, rather
than manifest an interest in the
future prosperity of their State, were
in nearly all instances, men who were
making flourish 81 party fealty to
be in line to make a reach for the
spoils of Office IN case the deal comes
their way. 1t IS not spectacle 10
which any one can point with pride,
when one sees Nevadans who have
IN the past stood high in the respect
of their fellows, barterlng away their
State for mess OF pottage and not
particularly sure meas at that.
Were the majority of our popula-
ton composed of such timber the
State would be turned into an aban
doned waste dump with grass grow
ing in our Streets
The men who are now endeayor
ing to lift the State out of the old
rut, where it has been left so long
by machine politicians, are doing it
at personal expense to themselves,
with nc promise of political recogni-
ton or reward and the newspapers
supporting the movement realize
that their course cuts them off from
ever receiving dollar from the
State Central Committees. 1t is a
spontaneous movement of the live
developers and producers of the
State, the men who pillow and reap, |
who delye and toll, who build hoist
ing works, who run bitches, who
clear land, who make grass grow and
who believe in State development
When the destines Of Nevada get out |
of the clutch of the professional pol
itician and is controlled by develop
ers and producers, the prosperous
era of the State will have just be-
gun.

INHABITANTS PANIC STRICKEN
Experience the Most Severe
Shocks---Other News.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Feb. 25.-The earth
quake which visited southern California
just before midnight Tuesday was the
worst San Diego ever experienced, and
seems to have been more severe the
further south it progressed. In this city
a large number of buildings were cracked
and the plaster dislodged, although no
houses were shaken down. In jewelry
store on Fifth street, large ornamental
lamp was thrown from it's case, and,
crashing through showcase, did about
5000 damage. So far as known no one
was hurt. Reports from outside the
city say that the church and schoolhouse
in Paradise Valley, which was built
upon stills, were thrown down and al
most totally demolished. A telephone
message from Campo, on the border of
the desert in the southeast part of the
county says that the first shock, which
occurred at II :2l p. M, was preceded
by loud rumbling like the sound of
distant thunder. Several sharp trem-
blings followed in quick succession. The
rumblings and shocks kept up at inter
walls of twenty minutes or more through
the night until 4 :53 a. M, when fear
full shock, with vibrations lasting twenty
five seconds, and accompanied by loud
rumblings, caused the inhabitants to
rush out of their houses in terror At
Jamul the walls of the stone kilns at the
cement works were cracked and other
damage done. Rumblings have been
heard all day in the hills and the noun
tains thereabouts, and the inhabitants
are panic-stricken. Messages from
Lower California are to the effect that
Ensenada, Alamo and San Quentin ex-
perienced the severest shocks within
the memory of the oldest inhabitant
At Ensenada, buildings swayed to and
fro and the people rushed into the
streets, frightened by the unusual noises
which followed the seismic disturbances
The mining town of Alamo was also
severely shaken, and at San Quentin
the Peninsular railway came in for con-
siderable damage to its roadbed. Re-
ports from the latter place say the
shocks were simply unparalleled, lasting
fully seventy seconds.

Another VIII Contest.

SAN Francisco. Feb. 25.-When the
late DR.. Samuel Merritt, of Oakland,
died, he left So 600, 900 estate to his
sister, Mrs. Garcelon. Two nephews
threatened to contest the will and Mrs.
Garcelon compromised with them for
$5o0,000. Mrs. Garcelon died and lett
numerous legacies, amounting to $780,
900 to eastern relatives. Six-tenths of
the remainder was given in trust to
Boudoin college, Maine, and four-tenths
to the Merritt hospital, Oakland. The
two nephews have engaged council and
threaten to prevent the payment of these
bequests. Today the trustees of Beudoin
college and representatives of the east
ern benefciaries brought suit in the fed
eral court of this city alleging the neph-
ews' claims prevented the trustees from
paying the bequests and asking the court
to enjoin the nephews from setting up
any claims to the estate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-It is believed
by number of democrats, who claim
to be on the inside, that the river and
harbor bill will be from So 900 600 to
100000 less than that passed two
years ago. The cut in all improvements
is said to be very great, and of such
character as to hamper all work now in
progress and to delay the completion of
all waterway Improvements much be-
yond the time generally intended, and
to such an extent as to make future ex-
penditures greater. The idea of economy
in the present house seems to have pre-
vailed in every committee, and even
reached the river and harbor committee,
which usually appropriates more iber-
ally than the others. The greatest cut
is said to be in northern rivers, and
lakes, and the Pacific coast. These sec
tions have been trimmed down with an
unsparing hand, while the South is
pretty well taken care of. Such are the
reports that are given out by leading
democrats whose interests are affected
by the action of the committee.

Deserves to be Lynched.

GRASS VALLEY, Cal Feb. 25.-Yes-
terday evening a man on horseback,
armed with a shotgun, rode up to within
hailing distance of a group of children
on Rocky Bar Hill, two miles south OF
this place. He asked some question
which the children could not answer,
and then he told them that if they did
not respond he would shoot. The child
ren were still silent and the man fired
both barrels of his gun into the group.
The 5-year-old twin sons of Robert Allen
were struck ia the face by the shot, but
owing to the distance, the wounds are
not serious. The man escaped and no
one knows w ho he is.

pragging it. weary Length.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The contest of
Claggett against Dubois continues to
drag its dreary length along until the
people are getting tired of it. The inn
preston has been all along that Dubois
was entitled to the seat, and that the
vote was not valid one in any sense.
It was quite an innovation that the SEN
ate allowed Claggett to speak in his own
behalf. Senator Sanders, of Montana,
who is one of the men supporting Clag-
gett, claims that the newspaper men in
Washington have been against Claggett
and in favor of Dubois. This may be so,
and if the sympathies of the press are
with Dubois it is because it is generally
believed he is entitled to the scat as a
matter of right and equity, and because
of the hard work he has done for the
state in the past four years. The oppo-
sition to Dubois comes mainly from the
Mormons, who in every section of the
west are doing their utmost against him..

Aberdeen,s RAILWAY Ciash.

ABERDEEN, Wash., Feb. 25.-The city
council last night granted franchise to
the Aberdeen and Victoria railroad com
pany through certain streets of this city.
One street, over which franchise was
granted, is now occupied by the North
ern Pacific grade. This is on the face of
the Finch bluff, for which the Northern
has paid out about $4,000 for right of
way, and expended over $50, 900 in grad
ing. 1t turns out that the only available
room for railroad occupies a legal
county road which is now street of the
city of Aberdeen and on which 20
authority has granted right OF way here
tofore. The Northern brought a con-
demnation suit for it against E. G. Finch
over year ago and jury awarded him
s. $50 therefor.

Under Distressing circumstances.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 25.-J. W. Col
Inns, president of the California National
bank of San Diego. has been arrested
for the embezzlement of 100000. A. K.
Burnett, of San Diego, was seen at the
Grand last night and expressed surprise
at learning of President Collins arrest:
s'Collins has been one of our most prom
inent and public-spirited citizens" he
said, "and every one has had implicit
confidence IN his integrity. He is about
45 years OF age, has resided at San Diego
for at least eight years, and by shrewd
investments made good deal of money
during the boom of 1867, when the
bank was founded. Last fall he put a
large sum in a motor road then being
constructed near Seattle or Tacoma,
have forgotten which city, and it was
said that the enterprise would prove un-
profitable, as 1 believe it has. OF late it
has been rumered that he had lost much
of his shrewdness. 1t was Whispered
that he had shown symptoms OF mental
collapse. About two years ago his wife
and children were drowned in the bay
under peculiarly distressing circumstan-
ces, and he has certainly not been the
same man since his bereavement. That
is the most satisfactory explanation
which I can give OF his alleged embezzle.

Tacoma Spreading Herself.

TACOMA, Feb. 25.-The county auditor
has filed plat of Hayden's addition to
Tacoma, situated nineteen mile south of
the city and six miles from Roy. The
platters did not ask the city council to ac-
cept the plat, as required by law, and it
is believe to be a swindle, as there is
already one Hayden's addition to
Tacoma. Also the name of George
Hayden, one of the platters, is not in
the Tacoma directory, nor is he known
at the postoffie.' One lot has been re-
corded as being sold for $3.50 at the new
addition. One of the platters of which,
Mr.. Page, Is believed to be one of the
flers of the Highland Park addition to

Rain Makerss Want Time.

WASHINGTON, Feb. .25.-Secretary Rusk
today, in answer to senate resolution,
communicated to the senate the report
of the special agent of the department of
agriculture upon the rain-making ex-
periments. General Dyrenfurth, who is
in charge of the experiments, in sum-.
ming up their results says: The few
experiments made do not furnish suffi-
cient data from which to form a definite
conclusion, or evidence upon which to
uphold or condemn the theories of the
artificial production or the increase of
rainfall by concussion. What it has
done SO far is altogether preliminary,
but with the benefit of the experience
gained 1 hope the subject will be
pursued.
