Buckeye Deal ON.

The Carson Tribune is sorry to re-
port that the Buckeye deal is off, Joe
Raycraft yesterday being notified by
the syndicate (Lane, Hayward and
Hobart estate) who bonded the prop

paying down $4,000, that they had
concluded to relinquish their rights
to purchase and the cancelled bond
accompanied the notice of forfeiture.
From all the Tribune can CLEAN the
people who bonded to property did
not surrender the bond because they
considered the ground as not of suf
ficient value, but principally on
account Of disgust at the obstacles
placed in the way by Carson and
Douglas county people in jumping
mines included in the deal, locating
everything in sight, selling water
rights belonging to other people, etc
1t Is a hard blow to this section OF
the country. The obstacles placed in
their way by the greed and grasping
propensities of some Of our popula
tion has no doubt disgusted a firm
that is doing more to develop the
mining industries of the Coast than
anybody, and they have resolved that
no more of their coin shall seek in;
Vestment i'll this part of Nevada.
Joe .Raycraft is undismayed ant
prepared to stay with the Buckeye
pot until crowned with success.
Everybody hereabouts is feeling
blue over the surrender and the antic
ipated hopes for booming times in the
Spring have gone ghmmering int
thin air.

Democratic National Committee.

WASHINGTON, January 16.-Ihe
Democratic National Convention will
be held on July 7th. The National
Committee decided to-day ON this
date. The opposition motion favored
June I'd. The vote was 80 to 10 in
favor Of July 7th. 49,.
The resolution of Patrick Collins of
massachusetts,, offered in the conven-
ton of 1892, that the next National
Convention be held behind closed
doors, was reported adversely by the
subcommittee to whom it was re-
ferred, and the report was adopted
unanimously.
1t was decided to give each CITY
thirty minutes to present their claims
this afternoon, but a new departure
was made by the adoption of resolu
ton requiring each city to put it's
guarantee in writing to prevent any
misunderstanding.
Senator Morgan, who held the
proxy OF Clayton of Alabama talked
for some time about the proposition to
change the basis OF representation in
the convention to two delegates for
each Democratic Representative in
Congress and two for each Democratic
Senator, and one for each Repubi.
can Senator and Representative. But
he offered no motion to this effect,
He may bring the question up at the
convention.
1t was decided to allow each Terri.
tory six delegates, after which the
committee took a recess until 9
o'clock.
The committee reconvened at g
o'clock to listen to the claims of rival
cities. Quite number of Democrat.
ic Senators and almost half the
Democratic members of the House
were present.
By direction of Chairman 1Iarrity
the roll of States was called, and the
four cities of Chicago, Cincinnati
New York and st. Louis were placed
in nomination, amid the cheers OF
their representatives.
Each city was allowed thirty min.
utes in which to present it's claims.

Never Grows Old.

@Cncle TOMS Cabin" never grows
old. There runs through 1t a vein of
pathos peculiarly touching and sweet.
Like the kiss of a child, it conquers
by the very innocence Of it's breath.
In the character of Eva it is unique.
Who does not cherish in memory
some sweet angelic child, who seemed
to touch this earth only as transient
visitor, who passed away with the
dew OF childhood's morning, too
good. too pure for us. Was there
ever child like Eva? Yes, but
her name is written upon gravel
stones. This good old play is unique
because it is the only one that por-
trays that character.
The scenery is excellent. In the
river scene one sees the floating cakes
of ice slowly moving down stream.
The plantation scene depicts typic
al Southern home with it's cotton
fields, its mansion and its log cabins.
1t is warm, mellow, beautiful scene.
The last scene in this picturesque
drama has perhaps taxed the skilled
painter and mechanic more than any
other spectacle that the stage can
boast. 1t is not fiattery to say that
"The Beautiful Gates Ajar" as now
depicted by the Cook Sisters Compa-
ny. is one Of the. most enhancing

created a great disturbance in the neighbor-

physician. The physician saw that he
could do nothing. to relieve the young mans
mind and telephoned to the police station,
saying that Foley was not in a fit condition
to be at large. Superintendent Colbert di-
rected Captain Quigley to drive to Foley's
house and take charge of him. The Cap
tain with detective Richards and officer
Scott found Foley very hard to manage.

Foley that if he does not order all the

Increase in Pupils and Decrease in
Augmentation.


The Institution for the Education of the
Deaf and Dumb win open its school year
Sept. 16 with 325 pupils. as against 262 two
years ago and so5 last year. In this in
stitution the pupils are received in the
same manner as in the School for the
Blind. Richard O. Johnson is the su2erin-
tendent and he is assisted by twenty-eight
teachers. This year there will be four in
dustrial classes four kindergarten classes
and six oral classes in addition to the reg
ular literary classes. 1t was started three
years ago, with two classes. and the pupils
showed such aptitude for the study of the
lip movement that the number of classes
IS row increased to six. The course of
study extends over period of ten years
and when pupil is graduated he is
equipped with an education better than
that given by the average nigh school. Last
year there were fifteen graduates and the
class this year will be of the same size The
trustees of this institution are Judge
Samuel a. Bonner, of Greensburg; Charles
z. Haush,, Of Indianapolis, ana Tarvin c.
Grooms, of Greencastle.
Although the number of pupils has in
creased over 20 per cent. since two years
ago, the appropriation for the Institution is
cut down over 10 per cent. as compared
with that year. The appropriation was re-
duced by the last Legislature by $500 and
now amounts to S61, 600 for the year, dis
tributed as follows: For maintenance S54,-

their own way. In such cases the amount
is returned to the State bv the county, but
it goes into the general fund and thus the
institution loses nearly $4,000 a year which
