waycross, Ca, April This being an
Off week from the courts, Judge Sweat and
the members of the bar are spending the
week in town The judge says Capt. Tur-
ner will be renominated by the democrats
for congress, with but little opposition
and will defeat Capt. Millikin. the prob
able populist nominee, at the election, by
large majority; that this section will
be practically unit for Mr. duBignon for
senator and that with Whitney and
Morrison, or Stevenson and Gordon, as
the democratic presidential nominees, on
a sound money platform, their chances Of
success at the national election would be
good. He deprecates but one primary for
all purposes including an expression on
the sena torial question, as manifestly I'M
fair to candidates and the people. and as
savoring too much of snap-judgment, his
idea being to limit the early primary to
the selection of delegates to the state con-
vention, which convention should restrict
its work to the nomination of a state
ticket on a platform of state issues; the
nomination of presidential electors, and
selection of delegates to the national con-
Vention, with recommendations merely a
to national questions. And he favors Hon.
w. G. Brantley of Brunswick, and Col
r. T. S. Denmark Of Valdosta as national
delegates from the Eleventh district.
Judge Sweat, in referring to the con-
gressional race in the Eleventh district
did not recognize Col. Burch of Eastman,
who is free silver candidate, as being In
the race at all. Mr.. Burch has published
a list of his appointments for the district

MRS BOULTER WINS.
The Case of Esteb VS.. Boulter Decided
After a Long Trial.

The long drawn out case of r. Z.
Collingwood Boulter. wherein Esteb
sues to recover $5.02l for alleged pro-
fessional services in defending Boultes
in his recent trouble. was decided to,
day by Judge Scott, after a trial of two
days, says the S~un-I.eader.
Although judgment was entered
against Collinwood Boulter for 81, O2l
Mrs. Boulter was discharged from re,
sponsibility in the premises.
Esteb did not expect to get anything
from C~ollingwood Boulter, but en-,
deavored to fasten the case upon Mrs.
Boulter. who he knew owned property.
Esteb has lost his case so far as re,
endorsement for professional services
are concerned. for C%ollingwood Boult>
er has no property.
The case was n that has been free,

even failed to show up at the final
trial, sending instead his deposition
from Richmond, Va.
The case in which Esteb claims re-
enumeration is well known to the peo-
pie Of Cheyenne. Collingwood Boult-
er, as will be recalled. in a row with
the Mcneil boys, shot Tom Mcneil
to death and wounded Mike Mcneil
on the morning Of November %, 1894.
Esteb appeared in the case for Nc
Neili, but without authority it Is
claimed. In n event, those who are
best informed say ~Collingwood Boulter
would not o be serving out a sem
tence of six years or any portion Of it

Tended.

GATES ON PASSENGER CARS.

The gates on the passenger cars OF
the Chicago and Alton evidently must
be looked upon as a we~ll-settled insti-
tuition, though petty criticism contin-
ues to be heard now and then from a
few drummers and others persons
whose railroad rides seem to be cost
ing them more than formerly. A criti-
cism of this kind appeared recently in
a southern paper, stating that a Ger.
tain large road, acting On the lesson OF
the alleged unsatisfactory experience
of the Alton, regarded the gates as un,
popular, and would M adopt them.
Officers of the Alton, in regard to the
truth of this, reply that their satisfac,
ton with the gates is greater than
ever. They have not only put gates on
every passenger train, but have them
as well on passenger cars attached to
freight trains. The primary object in
using the gates was to put a more eff
cient check on the collection OF tickets;
and to make careless passengers buy
tickets; but the longer the gates are
used the more thoroughly do the Off
GERS believe in them. simply as a pre-
ventive of accident. The statistics OF
accidents happening to passengers
while getting on and off cars in motion
show a marked diminution in number
since the gates were put on. On the

DISTINGUISHED PARTY.
THE GOVERNOR, SECRETARY OF
STATE AND TREASURER GONE
TO RAWLINS.
These Gentlemen Constitute the State
Board of Charities and vii Make
an Examination of the New Build
ing and Receive 1t From the Con-
tractors.

There was a distinguished party on
board No. 3 this morning, bound for
Rawlins. 1t consisted of Governor W.
A. Richards, Secretary OF State Charles
W. Burdick. Treasurer Henry G. Hay
and Engineer A. S. johnson. They are
going to Rawlins for the purpose OF
making an examination of the new
penitentiary and receiving the work
from the contractors.
The state board of charities held a
meeting Monday. but no action was
taken looking to the future conduct OF
the state prison, and it is not yet
state government. Indeed, it is a very
hard matter to decide. Past experience
has shown that under competent man.
agement the contract system is the
more profitable to the state, and from
an economical standpoint this system
is favored by a large number of those
who have given the matter serious on,
sideratinn. On the other hand. many
contend that the state should have di-
rect charge of all her public ~institu>
tons. But 1t is just as possible for the
institution to get into the hands of bad
politicians as bad contractors. so there
you have it.
The most serious question which
confronts the state board OF charities
ne 4 h. ,t.n-r ~ t;,, n l., thn ~, n ttA,. Nf ri,r
ing employment to the prisoners. To
permit them to lie in idleness is not a
matter of benefit to the state and is a
serious injury to the prisoners. for the
reason that years of enforced Incidence
absolutely unfit the convicts for useful
avocations in life.
Recently" said Gov. Richards this
morning. the contract system has
worked all right. and the states inter,
ests and the welfare of the prisoners
have been taken care of in a proper
manner. | know that the prisoners
have received proper. treatment because
those who have been released invari-
ably told me the same story, and after
they have regained their freedom they
would have no object in classifying mat
ters.
There is n very peculiar thing"
said the governor, and that is the fact
that nearly every man who is released
has some particular friend whom he
believes is entitled to executive clem>
ency. The last man let out interceded
for the release of a Chinaman."
1t does not necessarily follow that
because the Rawlins building is COM
pleted at this time the prisoners will
be removed to that institution. 1t yet
remains for the state to furnish and
equip the building for the reception Of
the convicts, which will require the
expenditure of a large sum Of money.
And then the question OF what shall be
done with the building here has not
yet been solved.
Verify, the path Of the coming legis-
lator will not be strewn with flowers.

Typhoid in Duluth.

The typhoid epidemic in Duluth is
abating rapidly. For the benefit of
the travelling men who have for the
last month been bringing the harrow
ing tales of from Is to 20 hearses
loaded with human freight passing
their abode almost every night, we
will give a few figures of typhoid
deaths in that city during the month
of January, and will also say that all
the hearses Duluth can boast OF, are
embodied in the figure I. In Deem
Der there were $50 cases reported and
in January 400. During January
there were 81 deaths from typhoid, 81
of the deaths occurring during the
first two weeks of fine month. This
is a good showing considering the
number of cases. There were also
100 births in Duluth during January.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1896-02-05

In last weeks issue of the MINER,
we made the statement that much
grumbling was heard on the tax rate
in this city. 1t is true that taxes are
a little voluminous for all small
towns, nevertheless the rate this year
in Ely is 20 per cent less than last.
While taxes are high, the citizens
should remember that Ely has made
improvements which few cities can
boast of. The new school house was
a material factor in keeping the per-
centage up. No levy. in any amount.
was made to meet indebtedness for
the city of Ely. The probable amount.
or rate, for 1895. would from a close
estimate, have been about forty per-
