A BLOT UPON TEE FAIR NAME OF BOLIVAR
A Disgrace TO a Civilized COmmu-
nifty.

The neglected condition of
the old graveyard in the east
ern part Of Bolivar should
mantle the cheek of all who
honor and respect the memo
ry of the dead with the blush
of shame. By request of sew
eral of our citizens, a repre-
sentative of this paper went
over the sacred spot a few
days ago, and to his surprise
and astonishnent, found it to
be nothing more than a COM
mon pasture for cattle. Mon
uments and slabs, upon which
are inscribed the names Of
men and women-pioneer
settlers of this country
whose deeds of valor and acts
of kindness are yet remem-
bered by the living-lie bro
ken and scattered upon the
ground; deep gullies have
washed through the place,
and more than once the bones
of the dead have been expos
ed to view; hogs wallow at
will in ponds of water, accu-
mulated over many of the
sunken graves. No man, un-
less his heart is made of stone,
can stand in that cemetery
and view the desolation and
ruin, without shuddering at
the thought ofneglected duty
on somebody's part.
The citizens of Bolivar in
general, and those who have
relatives buried there in par
ticular, should take steps at
once to put a substantial
fence around the yard, and
have the stones placed in po-
sition.
While it's anything but a
cheerful scene, still in order
to prove that we have not
overdrawn matters, we invite
you to walk down and take a
look-the distance is short,
only a few hundred yards
from the court house.

purchase law was passed.
Shortly before the passage of
that law the treasury held
sly 100000. On the 18th
of July 1890, the Sherman
law was approved by Presi-
dent Harrison, and on Janu-
airy 31st, 1891 the gold had
been reduced from SIT, 900, :
600 to $141, 100000. Janu-
airy 81 1892 the figures were
$119,OO0,O00, and on January
81, 1893 there was only $10S,-
100000. Since that time
Secretary Carlisle has been
compelled to draw from the
reserve fund to meet the de-
mands for gold. Thus it will
be seen that the decrease in
gold in the treasury has con-
tinued since the-enactment of
that law. 1t was also the Re-
publican party that so arrang-
ed the tariff laws as to de-
crease the revenue without
decreasing taxation. These
are the causes which have
brought about the present
condition of the national finan-
ces. The Sherman act was
passed in the interest of own
ers of silver mines and the
Mckinley bill in the interest
of the manufacturers. Truly
a reformation is necessary.

AN important factor essen
tial to success is that Of CO.
operation and Interest in local
enterprises. In this respect
the people of the South have
not kept pace with those of
the North. In fact we are
prone to be careless and in
different towards aiding by
patronage and good will such
undertakings. We are too
much disposed to patronize
those at a distance in prefer
ence to those with US. I'm
der such a policy our towns,
farms, institutions of learning
and raisers of stock will not
attain to that degree of sue
cess as enjoyed by those who
are more interested in the
welfare of their country and
the towns thereof than those
at a distance. Let us follow
their example.

No Causa for Alarm

Incident to the repeated charges
through the press that there have
been grave disse nsions in the cabinet
and the rumored determination on
the part OF Secretary Carlisle to re-
sign, President Cleveland in an inter-
view this evening sets forth in a clear
aud succinct manner his views on
the gold -siiou.
lie says that there has oeen differ
ences between Secretary Carlisle aud
himself over the issuance II bonds 10
replenish the depleFe lraasury gold
reserve, but that those difference
have beea adiastei, aad that no bonts
will, for the preset, at east, be IS
sued.
lie says that The ( III re erve will
be used to meet al! demands made
upon the treasury until the reserve
is reduced to $40, 900 600. ii nece5
sary, and that the issuance of bon Is
will be made only as last resort.
He says that the present condition of
the treasury is due to ''pernicious
legislation, over which the Demo-
cratic party had no control, and that
by careful administration of the
finances the treasury will soon DE on
a sound basis again.
He declares that there is no occasion
for alarm .-Memphis Commercial.

RILEY s BONANZA.

A Chicago Pool Room That Raked In
The Money
William Riley, who some years ago
was we'll known to the sport loving pop
ulation Of Chicago as the 'silver-
tongued" orator OF Gamblers alley, was
in q reminiscent mood one evening. and
chartered about the good old DAYS in
Chicago in q most interesting way says a
correspondent OF Chicago daily. 81
never really dared to tell people how
much money we used to handle in our
pooiroom in those days." he remarked,
''for the reason that, first, they would
not have believed my tale, and secondly,
it was not policy to let people know how
big bonanza we really bad, but tell
you there was never anything like it be-
fore in the country, and doubt ii there
ever will be again, as public policy ia
now against the running of pool rooms.
"We used to handle on the races alone
from $4,000 to $4,000 every day. and half
as much more on baseball and other
sports. How much money did we hold
on the fret Cleveland-Blaine election
Well, sir, we had 81, 1000 in the box,
the largest amount that one firm ever
held in election wagers, and there were
some very funny features connected with
the matter. If man had persistently
bought the short end in that election aa
the odds shifted he could have won
$l00. 900, no matter which way the cleo

event had unusually sheavySa we'll

sitting on that safe over there and keep
ing watch and guard over the money
IL was only kidding, but that night a
funny thing happened. After we had
closed up, and while the scrub women
were putting the place in order, police
man strolled in and sat on the safe in Or
der to keep out of the wet Hardly had he
gotten to his perch before Mr.. Busi-
ness Man peeped in at the window. He
was so tickled at what he saw that he
introduced no less than 10 men to me
the next day. and every one of them put
down good-sized bet.
lit was just an accident that the
policeman happened to be perched on
the safe that night, but it gave the room
wonderful reputation. How | would
like to have the old room back" and
Riley settled back into his chair with a
long drawn sigh. "a pool-room run
right is the biggest sort of bonanza"
he continued. "and the foreign book at
Hawthorne should be worth q mint of
money to Ed Corrigan and his partners,
and l guess it is, from what / am told.'

Soul Communion Day.

The last of the II days set apart by
the Worlds fair management for ''the
parliament Of religions" is monthly
whole world soul communion day and
Che sixth anniversary of its institution
Sept. 81.
The first whole world Observance was
ON the 9th Of September, 1886, when
''there was silence in heaven for the
space of one-half hour" when a greater
or less number of the worshipers of all
the great religious faiths Of the world
united for 80 minutes (time at all points
corresponding with the half hour inter
vening at Salem, Or, between 10 merid-
Ian and 1890 past meridian) in invoking
universal peace and new and higher in
fowings of spiritual light.
OF course the Worlds fair manage
ment did not know in setting apart the
II days between and including Monday
the 11th and Sept. 81 that '<the parlia-
ment of religions" would terminate it's
session ON the anniversary of this tne
most universal religious movement ever
instituted among men, but such is the
fact, and being so 1t is eminently proper
that the brief universal prayer season of
half an hour should on that day be ac-
corded to soul communicates and all
who will unite with them in invoking
with unitic soul impulses peace on earth
and good will among men, Soul com
munionists will ask no more of the fair
management, as they are silent workers
The time of observance in Chicago will
be from 2:20 to 1850 p. m, when there
and then will be gathered worshipers
from all the sllrines of earth, and some
of oil of whom<will have been divinized
by continuous previous observances ia
the most interior spirit of the movement
This is ''the universal prayer gauge, :"
which a distinguished English scientist
some years ago called for, and its proofs
of the efficacy of unity of Thoughts and
aspiration for the common good have
been wonderful and will be more won

pany ia now doing development work on
them.
The Gold Bronze company is shipping
1000 tons of second.grade ore to the
Needles reduction worke.
The end OF the Nevada Southern rail-
road is ten miles from Vanderbilt and
four miles from New York camp.
The company who owns the New York
mines, the railroad and the Needles
reduction works is getting ahead of it's
reduction works in ore. In fact the mill
is in only its experimental stage, and the
ore iH piling in at a rate sufficient to run
40 stamps. The producers are anxious
TO see the mill get down to business
basis and get on it's working clothes,
as ON it depends greatly the future of
Vanderbilt, New FORK and the camps to
the north OF them.
Ed Lonhon and Wyanright have q
good claim at Cosman Springs, IA miles
north of Vanderbilt that is producing
rich silver lead ore.
William Wyllie, formerly resident Of
Mohave county has lucrative and re-
sponsible position as agent for Earl &

the Nevada Southern railroad.
Paddy Dwyer owns the townsite of
Vanderbilt by reason Of the mining loca-

Win Sherman has sold out his town
property in Vanderbilt and gone out to
find another rich camp.
Dan McKinnon, John Hendry, Frank
Jackson and many other Mohave county
old timers, are in various kinds of en-
ployment in and around Vanderbilt and
Purdy..
Much complaint by the travelling pub
lie is made on account of the system
adopted by the officers of the new rail-
road. They claim that the train men are
in ''cohoot" with the hotel and saloon
man at the junction station-GofTa-
and that they wait until they see the
smoke of the A. & P. passenger train
coming, and then pull out, leaving the
passengers to wait over twenty-four
hours at Goff's, and that in returning
the same thing happens. They dilly
daily along the road until the A. & P.
train gets by and then pull into the sta
ton giving the deligh led tourists an
other lay over in the beautiful desert
city of Goff's. This way it usually
takes from three to four days to make
the und trip from Kingman or Needles
to Vanderbilt.
