Therodore Durrant has secured
another stay. The Supreme court of

We published two weeks ago that
White Pine County had offered re-
ward for the capture of the two des-
peradoes who shot Griswold, the
sheep man there last month. Our
information was based on private
letter. The announcement seems to
have been made prematurelp. The
White Pine News says that the Com
missioners discussed the matter of
offering a reward, but the matter
ended with that, though the offer of
$500 by Griswold himself appears
to hold good.

is failure. From loss of water in
the new ditch, or from some
other cause, sufficient power
cannot be generated to operate the
machinery and boilers will be put in
at once. The last White Pine News
says:
The Chairman Mining Co., has
purchased the boilers in the old
Argus mill and to-day has force of
men getting them out ready to be
moved to the Company's mill at
Lane City. There they will be set
up at once and, as every thing is in
readiness for the power, the prospects
are that the stamps will be dropping
inside of two weeks. The air com
pressor, of which so much was ex-
pected, has failed as yet to generate
enough power to run the whole mill.
Work ON the boiler will be pushed
day and night.

have brought cargo of rapid-fre

Pay Your Poll Tax or Don't Vote.
The late law requiring all citizens
over q and under go years of age to
pay poll taxes as prerequisite to
voting is causing considerable dis
cussion throughout the State, as this
is the tax collecting period. The
opinion of the Attorney General has
been asked on the matter and he
expresses the following opinion
tFrom an examination of the
language of the Act am of the
opinion that any person subject to
the payment of such poll tax for the
present year, or who neglects or is
unable to pay same during this year
may pay the amount thereof next |
year, and upon such payment, to-
gether with his poll tax for next
year, will, if in all other respects
qualified, be entitled to vote next
year

suicidal for Mckinley to put such
power in Foraker's hands, and the
friends of the president elect ssy he
will do nothing OF the kind Sher
man will remain in ;he senate, and,
although Foraker may object to the
appointment made by the new pres
ident, his opposition will be power
less to prevent the confirmation.
The statement that Mckinley in
tends to make up a new cabinet
with Sherman and Alger left out
comes from a prominent Ohio repub-
lican, who is as close to the presi.
dent elect as any man in the country
except possibly, Mark Hama. There
will be come sympathy expressed
for Alger, but it will probably be
better for him in the end if his nom
ination of secretary of war is not
sent to the senate. The opposition
to his confirmation is very pronounc
ed and is growing daily. A demo
cratic senator who served in tho
confederate army said to day that
he had been asked by a republican
senator who served in the federal
army to vote against Alger in case
he is nominated for secretary of war.
II told the gentleman who made
this request" said The democrat,
'that if the ex soldiers on the repub
lican eide of the senate desired it I
would join with them in the move
ment to prevent Alger's confrma
ton. I regard his proposed appoint
ment as an insult to the army and l
do not believe that any ex soldier in
the senate will feel like voting for
his confirmation
It ie probable that the changes in
the cabinet which have been sug
eested would not be made should
Governor Bushnell agree to appoint
Hanna to succeed Sherman in the
senate. The possibility that Bush
nell will do this is so remote, how
ever, that it is hardly worth taking
into consideration.

Jefferson Park was born in Hamp-
shire county, West Virginia, April
Goth, 1921; married Miss Barbara
Davis, of Highland county, Virginia,
Nov. 2, 1S4S. To this union were 8
children, boys and 4 girls, two girls
died, one boy was killed two years
ago. He died Feb. 1, 1897, aged 70
years, 8 months and II days. He sold
his farm in Hampshire county, Va,
in 1857. He was raised nine miles
east of Romney, near the pike; he
was 36 years old when he left Nir-
ginia, he staid in Crawford county,
Ohio, the winter of 81. In the spring
of SO he and his brother Washington
moved to Bates county, and each
bought farm of Mr. Fisher, which
he owned at his death. He was q
man with a strong mind and loved
to debate on moral and political
questions; his physical power was

he was able to hold to his subject
and always left an impression on his
opponents mind. If they tried to
laugh it off they never got rid of it.
During the war he had to leave his
farm and move to Kansas. While in
Kansas his mother died. During the
war his property was destroyed in
Bates county. AT the commence
1f To-
ing home from Butler at the Ruble
ford he met several of his neighbors;
one of them drew his gun to kill him
but some of the others interfered and
he was permitted to go home. He
had to pass through many severe
trials during the war. 1t was our
privilegeto be with him from Fri

that time he took us back So years

men have passed through the trials
that he has. In November his
strength began to fail him, gradually
going down all the time, till death
came. He always expressed a viii
lingness to go, for he had been per
