State Printer &c kley.

Unlike some of the State officials
who are anxious to succeed them
selves, but are waiting to see how
tina cat jumps before announcing
themselves for reelection, State
Printer Joe Eckley comes cut boldly
and announces himself a candidate
for reelection, subject to the de2is-
ion of the Republican State Conven-
ton, and is content to take his
chances with the voters of Nevada.
y Carson Tribune.
We have known Joe Eckley for a
quarter of a century, and always
found him an honest and upright
man. He is, besides, one Of the best
practical printers on the coast. If a
Republican is to be elected, Joseph
E. Eckley should be the man.

The A. r. U.OiFers Service as Dep
utv U. s. MarshaIs.

The Mediation Committee of the
strikers at Sacramento have made a
formal offer to Governor Markham
and United States Marshal Baldwin
to furnish from 2, 500 to 1900 men,
bers of the A. r. u, to serve as dep
uty United States Marshals for the
purpose ofprotecting union train
men employed by the Southern Pa
cific Company to operate its trains.
The men offer to serve without pay
and make only one condition, that
they shall not be called upon to assist
in any way in the movement of
trains, except to protect property
and men. The strikers say this off +
is made in good faith in the interest
of the farmers and merchants of the
Pacific Coast so that they may move
their products and merchandise, pro
vided the Southern Pacific Company
can find men to man their trains.

Petitions to Governor Colcord.

Petitions signed by every member
of the labor unions in Lyon, Ormsby,
Washoe and Storey county were for
warded to Governor Colcord request
ing him TO call upon the President to
withdraw the Federal troops from
Nevada, no violation of law having
been so far attempted by thestrikers
or their sympathizers.
The Governor says over his sigma
ture that the protests from other
Governors against President Cleve-
land sending Federal troops into the
different States will not only be of
no use, but in his Judgment would be
unwise. as the President has the
right under the law to take such ac-
tion if he believes there are reason
able grounds for so doing.

Silver Star.

Sheriff Stewart returned from 81.

He reports that the Douglass Com
pany have their mill ON the ground.
They have purchased the lumber e
the old Blue Light hosting works
and are removing the same to Sta.
Ed. Brown, Geo, Fottler, Dan Robb,
Tom Pepper and others were Gu
gagged in the work of removal After
hard days work tearing down the
building at the Blue Light the boys
rolled themselves in their blankets
and laid down to sleep. Before re-
firing, Ed. Brown, who objects to
rattIesnakes for bed-fellows, built
fires around tne camp. About mid
night Fottler woke up and found his
feet on fire and reused his sleeping
comrades. George was not much
hurt, but when an inventory was
taken it was found that his boots,
pauts and coat were consumed. He
encased his feet in gunny sacks, Dor
rowed pair of Tom Peppers dr.
uadergarmants and managed to get
home without further accident.
q. LyFord made a political speech
at b. B. What these letters signify
we cannot say, bat that is what the
boys cali the Douglass Camp.
Ed. Browns mine is down over so
feet, and the ore in the bottom is
very high grade and the ledge from
three TO five feet wide a cut sever
al hundred feet away from the main
shaft shows the same ledge, with ore
that goes up in the thousands.
The New Party is an extension Of
Browns mine, and is being worked
by Owen Owens under lease. He
has encountered the same ledge that
Brown has.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inllamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When the tube gets iniamed you have n
rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is en- sirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine casee out of ten are caused
by cattarah. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred dollars for
any ease of deafness(causedb by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure

Not only the artists, but The farm

the awards, diplomas and other ext
deuees of merit were distributed at

State Commissioner James A. Yer

-" don't understand why it was
that the Committee on Awards failed
to examine Nevada's butter until ,
o clock on the afternoon of the day
the Exposition closed. | told them
that tie blockade would prevent our
receiving fresh butter in good condi-
ton at the last hour, but it made no
difference and we were almost for

we have been supplying the EXPOSE
sition with 'he grade butter we
have on exhibition, but they left us
out all the same
"On our wheat, apples and pota-
toes, that took first prize in Chicago
against the world, we got third prize
while they refused to give us even a
diploma on our chemical tests, made
with machinery brought down here
from the State Experiment Station
in Reno, simply because l would not
move it from the Nevada Building to
Horticultural Hall. We paid So, 900
for our pavilion and considered it
a part of the Fair, and felt that we
were entitled to all the advantages
of any other exhibitor.
But that was not the worst To
cap the climax and run things into
the ground they gave third prize on
our natural soap exhibit, the only one
of the kind We had no competitor,

The Washington times., 1894-05-26

This tragic narrative, which the innkeeper
related with the equanimity OF an epic poet.
recurred to me vividly as observed the man
by the stove.
He was middle aged. The story lay fifteen
years behind him, but he had chin which
made me believe the innkeeper an honest
chronicler.
He was stolid and we'll fed. Apparently
life had laid no heavy penalty upon him.
He seemed too vulgar and heavy type of
humanity to invite exceptional treatment of
fate. yet saw him that night in rather a
notable situation.
Just after dark the innkeeper and his
daughter and I set out across the cliff path to
see the river in active operation. We walked
in the winds teeth, with splitting rain in
our faces. 1t was cold and bleak. Then in an
instant the river flashed in sight. Its whole
freshet-swollen current famed with red from
countless fire baskets and lanterns. Long
shafts OF vermilion Stabbed the packed tim
Der in the boom, struck across the climbing
hanks, and made fiery lances Of the pike poles

Men were leaping about on the logs. In q

heinnkeeper's assurance concerningt the ma g.
nitude of the special tide which was in
progress.
''She's booming for all that's in her," de-
clared the innkeeper, an elderly mar, who had
enjoyed during the previous Summer the
happy privilege of being useful to me in many
ways. ''They look for the boom to bust to-
night. Thousands of dollars afloat. You see
that man by the stove? He's one of the big
timber fellers from up north. Just come
down. He'll lose heavy if she busts. Say,
miss. take a good look at that feller! You
remember rne telling you about the boom

he was the man-he was Idy's beau.'
remembered the story. On certain day
in the previous June was standing at the
head OF a mill chute looking down at the
sunken river. Suddenly dugout shot round
the bend. The man in the rude thing seemed
only half human. He was bent and shrunken,
with clay colored skin. matted red hair.
and such woebegcne vacuity Of face as
startled one. The innkeeper had related that
this poor creature lived alone in the BOOM
house. a shed on the river cliff, and that his
duty was to cook for the loggers In time Of
tides.
