FULL OF
Organization for Silver Going For,
ward Rapidly in All States

Washington, D.. C.. March 3, 95.
Hon. Geo. S. Nixon, National Com
m ttppman, Winnemucca, Nevada
Dear Sir: Yours of February 18th
came duly TO hand. The contents Of
your letters are exceedingly encourage
ing and gratifying. In 1892 the State
of Nevada blaZed the way for this
g-eat movement in 1896. Upon such
a platform as was adopted ny our con
ference there is hope Of uniting the
silver men Of the country, who are in
a great majority. But divided be
tween the old parties they were V
able t. secure the nomination of can
Iidat~s in a cord with the opinions
they held.
Tie work of organization is h"i";
>urjrd on rapidly in all Of the States
and reports from II committees are
Of the most encouraging character.
Times are hard and prices are low,
and the people who have been disap-
pointed year after year find their dis
appointment last year greater than
any preceding year. The good times
promised to follow the cessation of
the coinage of silver has failed
t. materialize. The prophets of the
gold standard are being discounted
by the people who are ready for any
change that promises relief. Now
that the Populists have been induced
TO postpone their convention until af-
ter the Republican and Democratic
conventions have been held and the
Silver men have declared for indie
pendent action to meet in the same
city with the Populists, Republican
and Democratic silver men who are
sincere are showing a stronger front
than ever before. The chances that
a break will take place in their con-
ventions has become imminent, in
fact it is being talked among the
politicians and through the papers,
all of which goes a long way towards
helping to bring about that result
While we are satisfied that your State
is all right and can be depended upon,
still the committee will be glad to hear
from you often and keep you informed
on the progress that is being made
here. Very truly yours,
J. J. Mort.
Chairman National Committee Amer
lean Silver Organization.

Thu records show thai it vas remelted
yet in my. opinion it is highly improb-
able thai the uelt was made.
Wa it or was it not made?" asked
General Clark.
'In my opinion it"
I'VE object to opinions said Wood
burn.
The Court sustained the ~Obiecting,
hut Clarke got enough out Cf the wit
ness to show that he did not believe
it was remelted.
The cu~pellation buttons of the melt
on the 18th and oath are exactly alike
on the books. The records Of loss in
remelting is placed at 6 ounces. The
fact that the assays are the same
within half of one five thousands
of an ounce demonstrates to my mind
that the buttons from the same gran
ulatiOns were sent up to the assayer
and he gold not remelted at all. Had
th~re been actually Il remelt the sec
nni assay would have been higher.
It is estimated practically that the
increased ~fineness will make up for al
lie asst half the loss. 1t should have
gone up three thousandths. If the
spurious melt was made between June
10Th and oath, the party making if, i
asked any questions, would say h'
was making melt No. II who" he wa
really making the bo-us melt.
Adjourned until II O'Clock thi

Dentistry Without Pain.

I have ct last solved the problem of
preparing teeth for filing with no
pain. This is done by the recently
discovered electric instrument which
is simple, scientific and painless, and
is applied to the tooth with no dis
comfort to patient, but allows me to
cut out the cavity, or remove the
nerve, without least pain. As you
know, I also extract teeth without
pain.
My Bossier friends and patients
will find me at the same stand.

The tenderest sympathy of this
entire community goes out to the
grieved and sorrowing husband,
mother, brothers, sisters and rela-
tiyes, and hope the little Mamie
Mcares left behind may live and grow
into the likeness of her they have
loved and lost. We mourn with them
that mourn as they gaze on the kindly
eyes now dim and the loving heart
now still, and know they can only
find resignation in the Christian
faith that robs death of its dread and
the grave of its gloom, and know she
has now beheld the unfolding of that
sublime mystery when ''the corrupt
shall put Oh incorruptibility, and the
mortal shall put on Immortality"
May they find comfort and conso-
lation, as they remember and realize
that,
From the Heaven of Heavens God snake with
batcd breath
