the water stands three feet below the 1850

ing from lodges as distant as the poles,
assembled and took preliminary steps to
organize an Alaskan sovereignty. Agent
Shepherd Of the North American Trading

buttons relative to organization were
adopted and at Fort Get There q pass
word designed to give Masonic protec-

Copies Of the proceedings were ordered

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT.

Carson Appeal : A Nevsds newspaper
doesen't consider itself in il politically
who fails to publish . slate once . week.
There are states and states. but the n
put MP last is the one that stays.
Elko Independent /: Setting down to .
feast where roast turkey is promised and
being served with q dish Of very tough
crow instead would be q sad dissppoint-
ment. This is about the way the Repub'
Iicaus feel over the appointment OF
Spriggs. They expected turkey. but
we're given crow.
Lyon County Times The papers are
agsin after the Superintendent Of the In.
sane Asylum. Some very grave charges
are being made about the manner Of con-
Quoting things in that institution, and .
great many people are beginning to think
that where there is so much smoke there
must be q little fire. The Board Of Di-
rectors should make inquiries and know
to q certainty il the charges made are
true or not. Politics should cut no fig
ure in this matter.
Silver State The estimable Gazette
denies that it was mad when il heard of
the appointment Of Spriggs Of New York
as agent ct the Pyramid Lake Reserva-
tion. 1t extends Spriggs the glad hand,
warns him against the bad Silver party
papers of Nevada and tafies the Major
and Mark as follows
The administration may have had good
and sufficient grounds for the appoint
ment. We believe it had, or it would
not have been made. Past events show
that Major Mckinley is q man of few
mistakes, and so far as Chairman Hanna
goes the Gazette will take his judgment
on matters political before that of the
wisest Silver party paper in Nevada.
That's right, Allen. Say all the nice
things you can, for there are several other
offices to be filled and You may yet stand
q chance. OF course Spriggs is a bitter
pill, but swallow him and look as pleas
ant as possible. Grovel at the feet Of
Mark and Mac, and maybe they'll give
you something, if only 3 richly deserved
kick.

Mrs. Atkinson, the wife Of Governor
Atkinson Of West Virginia, was indicted
for forging her former husbands name
TO documents. She was tried OF Glen
vile this week and the jury failed TO
agree. This for the present relieves the
Governor from an unpleasant dilemma.
He is invested with the %pardoning pow
er. and II his wife was convicted he
would have to let her 60 to prison and
serve her time or pardon her. The ques-
tion Of what he would do II she was con-
victed has been discussed very generally
in the East. . majority expressing the
opinion that her husband would pardon
her and resign his Office. The alleged
forged documents involved the title to
