BEWARE ow CHE ENEMY.

We underst md through Mr.. Rus
esll that reports are in circula ion in
the northern part. of the county that
he is gold-bugeand opposed to the
free coinage Of silver: These reports
have not the least foundation to rest
upon and are circulated for the pur-
pose of injuring HIM on election day.
In order to prove the utter ground
lessuess If these reports it is only.
necessary for thsavoters to recall the
attitude OF Mr.. Russell in the cam
paigu Of 1892 and his position since
in reference to the free coinage of
silver. .@'. -.... -,fs-|
In 1892, Mr.. Russell was the chair.
man Of the committee on resolutions
and platform i'll the Democratic
county convention. He as chairman
of that COMMITTEE reported plat
form, Of which the following are
planks:
@Resoiued, That we con le n n
Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Har-
rison for their hostility to. silver. and
the action of tue Democratic nlaiority
Of the Sind Congress in refusing to
pass free coinage bill. and I'VE: as
Democrats, true to-the INFER ssts of
our State and the fundamental prin-
ciples of our purity, demand 81 the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
present ratio OF 16 to /.
@Resolped, That it}is The duty Of
every citizen of Nevada, regardless of
party, to support James b. Weaver
Of Iowa, for, President and james g.
Field OF Virginia for Vice President
OF the United States"
There is certainly not much gold
bugism in the resolutions above quot
ed. Upon that platform Mr.. Russell
accepted nomination sor the Assem-
bly, and was elected. This scribe
canvassed the county with him and
he stood squarely on the platform and
30 announced himself wherever he
went. -.,...t---s.. ~
Since then Mr.. Russell has been
consistent Democrat true to the plat
form upon which he ran in 1892 and
has never faltered in his fealty to the
silver cause. He is strong Bryan
man and believes in the cause he adj
vocates. If elected, he win cast his
vote in accordance with the platform
upon which he stands. He has never
yet deceived the people and will not
prove a traitor to them now. Let no
Bryan man be deceived by false re-
ports into casting his vote against
him. Beware Of all reports circulat-
ed by the enemies of free coinage.

WATCHES.
Some Facts ConcernlnG tho 9tYles-Tho
Great Number or Watches Used.

Some Facts ,Concernlne the 9tyies-Tho
Great Number OF Watches Used.
In this country almost everybody carries Q
watch. Probably nine-tenths Of the men. and
great numbers of women. and many young
people carry watches. In the best trade of the
city many more watches of gold are sold than
of silver; Of all the watches sold throughout
the country about 25 per cent. are Of gold. Tho
percentage Of gold watches is increasing.
The fashionable watch OF the day Is open
faced. The sale Of open faced watches is iu-
creasing. especially in fine watches, but II is
increasing also in watches OF other grades OF
fine gold watches SOLD In the city probably two
thirds are now made open faced. or all the
watches sold in tho United States, gold and
silver. probably from quarter to q third are
now mado open faced.
The modern watch has for ono OF its charac-
teristics thnness. A mans watch, which Is
now made more especially to wear with even.
Ing dress and is all the time growing in favor.
Is a plain. thin. open-faced gold watch which
takes up but little room in the pocket. Per-
feet In It's simplicity. this watch is at the same
time Of fne workmanship and great beauty
1t sells at e1eo. A gold watch not 20 thin
nor so finely finished. but q very handsome
modern watch and an excellent timekeeper, by
tho same makers and bearing their name can
be bought In open face. the case of 10 carat
gold. 'or 800; in double case for $40.
But gold watches and good watches. too. can
be bought for very much less than these prices
In fact there never was time when watches
generally were made in euch tasteful shapes,
or whom they were so good for the money. or so
cheap now.
Taking all tho grades together. the American
the importation Of watches amounts TO about
the same number. One might at first wonder
number are taken up annually, by the new buy
ers coming into the market for the first time
out Of the constant and large In ,rease in the
population. Great as the percentage Of watch
owners now Is in this country, that also Is in
creasing. Many immigrants buy watches as
more than one watch; watches wear out. or
their owners lay them aside for q better watch
or for one of newer style; watches are lost and
destroyed: and when one comes to take all these
things into consideration 1t will be seen that
the great production OF watches may be In
large measure easily accounted for.

Truthful Mr.. TIno.sou.s Gaudsr.


TIrusvILLE, juno l6.-Amos Tillotson. who
has large farm near here, Is an enthusias.
tic fisherman, and also makes a speciality OF
raising hne geese. lie has one old gander
which is acquiring wide reputation as a
freak, because OF what Mr.. Tillotson tells OF It.
And he is a truthful man.
He noticed recently that ths gander was
falling of IN weight and was in GENERALLY
bird. The next time It was fed Mr.. Tillotson
learned why II had been losing. weight Tho
bird carefully saved almost all of its food
and carried i ~ TO pond near BY. IN which arc
water, and fairly chortlcd with satirfaction
as the fish rose and took II. The bird had
conceived, such devoted affection for
the fish that he was starving himself 10 death
TO feed them.
Farmef Tlllotson went to the pond to catch
ssompsss mess of ash the other day. and the gandsr
and taken of the hook the old bird would
pick 1t up and throw IL back into the water
the gander on the head with his pole to stop
this performance.
He got tho fish he wanted. but since then
Mr.. Tillotson anC tho gander. have hardly
been on speaking terms. Tho bird distinctly
disapproyes ofhim.
