with all the ca relpssness which
characterized the sensational
Congressional career of Ben.

Secretary Foster and other
Treasury officials a nd the
North German Lloyd Stea m
ship 20. the agents of which
have been in Washington
since the session began for the
purpose Of preventing legis-
lation Tor the suspension of
immigration. He also had
something spicy to say about
the courtesies extended by

The Drunken Father.


Perhaps no greater sha me
can come upon q man than
that of being a drunken faith
ers Boys, whatever your life
may have been, don't marry
to become d drunken father.
1t IL beastly and outrageous:
1t deserves more horrid
things thancontempt. Where
the father is a drunkard there
isno domestic tranquility, no
happy home, no permanent
peace. The light of Joy may
flicker IN the soul for a min
ute, but it goes out, and the
home is dark, miserable and
gloomy. From the outside
world there may come a sooth
ing Influence; the inmates
may feel now and then the
warm pulse throbs of t h e
more fortunate portion ofhu-
manity, but these impress
sions can not last. The drum
ken father comes to cloud the
hour of Joy. The wife a nd
children must be subjected
to his abuse and live in
shame before the world. Moth
ing but the final hour can
blot out the blackened past
and give relief. Only a few
days ago We beheld with dis
gust a drunken father travel
ing on a train in company
with a little son. The poor
little boy was at the mercy
of a wretch who had him a.
way from home and whose
delight it was to tantalize
and abnse him. When the
train stopped the unnatural
iather dragged the boy out
Of the car. 1t was a colo day
and the little fellow stood
shfvering beside the track,
many miles away from home
and without an overcoat.
The little innocent boy could
do nothing although his face
was indicative of embarrass-
merit and distress. The faith
Ar, whose brain and affection
had been seized by the de-
mon of drink, would take the
boy by the shoulders u n d
roughly whirl him around in
Il process Of introducing him
!to the by-standers. The man
with a heart would burn
With Indignation at such d
sight. What hardsliips the
poor boy suffered during that
day, who can tall? 4 grown
person iiiay bear up under
many 4 word of-ahuse. He
has been hardened to life'Stri
als, but the littlechild, whose
heart is young and tender, is
not susceptible ofrough treat
ment. The slightest word OF
Ia
|Abusc sometimes racks ones
heart with pain and teaches
him to hate home and even
lille itaelf. For words said iH
reproof OF wrong there ie
some excuse; but let t b e
harsh sound CRATE ON theear
OF an innocent childan there
comes a pang to the heart
that viii linger as long as the
breath Of life.
If you are a sober boy and
a sober man you will be q So
Iber father, and your home
will be one Of happiness and
peace. Boys, with the begin
ming Of this new year, think
of the life before you and
start out ON lines ofsobrietys
You wilIb better, happier;

A College Professor ON Ingersoll.

A number Of students at

"Dnar Professor: Are not
Ingersolfs arguments unan-
swerable? What are you 60

Students.
The professors reply was
sarcastic and to the point.
We give here his description
Of an amateur intidel which
will repay pernsal. In t h e
course Of a long article in re
ply to the question of the stu
dents, the professor said:
but you say there are 40
many infidels. Boys, you are
mistaken. An infidel is an
abnormal growth. Nature
feels funny once and a while
and creates a freak-the liv-
ing skeleton, the ia woman

THE MlDWlNTER FAIR.
Much Expected of Lincoln County in
Exhibits of Early Fruits and Pro-
duce. Are we to Disappoint
Them?.

All over the State interest in the an.
preaching Midwinter Fair is rapidly in.
creaslng. Exhibits are being prepared,
subscriptions secured. committees ap-
pointed and other like necessary steps
taken to secure for each county a good
showing Of what can be done in agricultural
and mining matters.
Lincoln County, from her geographical
position, and judged by the exhibit made
last summer at Chicago, is expected again to
make showing which will surprise the
majority of those that see it.
Mr.. ]. A. Yerrington, Tho was manager
of Nevsd1s exhibit at Chicago, and who
has been unanimously chosen to represent
the states interests at the Midwinter Fair,
writes citizen here as follows:
81 hoped that | might be able TO visit
your section personally, but owing to the
limited time at my command | will have to
depend entirely upon the citizens to assist
me IN CnlS matter.
II take pleasure in addressing you per-
sonally with a request that you will bring
before the citizens the necessity of their
Immediate action. Lincoln County should
be we'll represented, with her varied re-
sources, and seeing that you are geograph-
ically situated for having the earliest pro-
ductions to be had in this State, and in
be a feather in our cap to place these on
exhibit at as early = date as possible
Much stress was laid upon this matter
when Lncoln's products were received il
Chicago, over six weeks ahead of California
Anything you can do aiding nae you ma,
be sure will bo very much appreciated, ant
will endeavor to see that these exhibit
are properly installed and well represented
s.If few sacks of ore from the differen
gold mines were sent it would be advisable
to advertise freely. And | am making
preparations for doing so, even going to tn
extent of at least having samples crushs'
and horned out before the public. A ful
synopss of each claim should be sent
Other mineral bearing ores from the vsriou
mines can be sent in small quantities, as "
will have no method OF reducing Same. An
We trust that what We lack in quantity W
can make up in quality"

To State Line Pass.

Work on the Nevada Southern 10 actively
resumed. We have it from good authority
that contract Of twenty-five miles of road,
was recently let to Bright and Crandall, the
former contractors on the read 60 pu'''
from the present terminus | State Line
Pass. The work is to be completed within
ninety days This will extend the line some
fifteen miles into Lincoln county, and bring
If TO within fifteen miles of Good Springs.
As there is nothing to stop there Tor, we
may look any day for word that preliminary
work is also going on, this side of State Line
Pass, on what will probably be called 'the
California and Nevada Southern, but never
mind its name so long as it comes at all.
The letter accompanying the map recently
sent to the County Recorder states that the
line of road as thereon indicated is subject
to change. This is good for the reason thai
when everything is understood. the line II

will be directly on the line, or but a YER
short distance from it.

Keep it out of the Paper. :.

Keep it out OF the paper" is the cry
which the newspaper publisher daily hears.
TO oblige often costs considerable. though
the party who makes the request does not
realize it. A newspaper is peculiar piece
of property in the publics eye. The news
gathered is stormed at because he gets hold
of one item, and is abused because he does
not get another. Young men and often
young women, as well as older persons, per-
form acts which become legitimate items for
publication, aud then rush to the newspaper
Office to beg the editor not to notice their
escapades The next day they condemn the
paper for not having published another party
doing the same thing they were guilty of,
forgetting apparently, their late visit to the
printing office. The subscribers expect to
read the news and there is always wonder
when any of these items fail TO appear in
the next issue.
