communl lstlc Switzerland.
From tbe Printer


 Some people fear to copy the ref erendum because it is Swiss. Such should not forget that it is of New England as well. But don't think that Switzerland, though small re- public, is to be scorned by those who are working for better conditions. Let such make note of these facts: Switzerland has penny postage. Free delivery in rural districts. Telegrams for II cents.
 Telephones at SIS per year. ss The best highways in the world. The cheapest railway fares in Europe, through on the costliest roads.
 More cooperative work than any where else on earth.
 The best opportunities to educate sons and daughters iif the world The Swiss consume five times as much laxaries and comforts as do the Italians.
 whHe re vote for parties and gel principles all jumbled together, tb, Swiss voters get at one thing at time, the only sensible dominant issue known.

These men got into trouble in the southern portion of the Territory some time ago and put up a fine team of horses as surety for their appearance before the District court on an appeal from the sentence of the Justice court on charge of receiving money under false pretenses. This team belonged to Mir. Gowatt, of this city. from whom they had been rented I and from the time they were taken from this city they had not been heard from until the newspapers spoke ot their being gfven up for bail. The last session of the grand jury held in this city found indictments against these men for embedding this team and Sheriff Orme has been watching for them ever since, with the result that this morning White was lodged in jail here.

 s'The problem which puzzles the busy housewives during the summer months" said a prominent citizen to tte Pr8spector reporter today. is how to keep things cool without ice. This can be solved at a very moderate cost and very little work First make light framework four feet high, three feet broad and eighteen inches. wide; of course you will put top and bottom on the frame, and shelves to suit yourselves. On the front put the framework of a double door; now cover the whole with burlap or gunny sacks, tack them on tight; next cut lengthways an empty kerosene can in two, place on top of your safe, fill with water; then take strips of heavy flannel, put one end in the water, let the other end come in contact with the burlap, thus by capillary attrac- tion the burlap will be kept wet all the time keep your cans full-af water 1; place your safe where the wind~cap strike it. I will guarantee that the arrangement will keep things as cool as if stored in an icehouse."

NEVADA Is MAD.
Harsh Criticism by the Eastern Press
Not Liked.

Carson New, Feb. 4.-The legisla-
ture does not propose to stand much
more back talk from the effete east,
and Mr.. Gerard, the author of the bill
that makes the present gathering pos
sible, has engaged several of the New
York newspaper correspondents to COM
pile for him data about the sanguinary
fights held in the New York Athletic
club.
The chances are the legislature will
present an address to the American
people calling attention to the hypoc-
risy of these places which permit men
to be killed under the protection of a
glove contest and still hurl opprobious
epithets at Nevada, which has the
smallest proportion of criminals and
the largest proportion of charitable in
stitutions of any state in the union,
state in which no man is permitted to
ask twice for food and shelter, where
riots are unknown and where life and
property are safer than in the best po-
Iced city in New England. Crimes
against women and children are almost
unknown in Nevada, and the sale of
cigarettes is prohibited in Carson, while
starvation is thing unheard of. why,
then" says Nevada, should a part
of the country with the largest proper
tion of criminals and destitute, possess
ing the most corrupt legislature and
boards of aldermen, governed by the
viIest and most contemplate political
bosses, trouble with Nevada's physical
contest laws till it has taken a few
cords of uncut timber from it's own
eyeS?''

John Graham Brooks Suggests That
Those Who Will Not Work Be
Sent to Farm Colonies.

New York. Feb. 24.-when Mr.. John
Graham Brooks speoke yesterday at
the Lyceum theater on "Tramps and
the Unemployed" he trod, ruthlessly
upon the tenderest sensibilities of many
of his fashionable listeners. In the
course of his dissertation on tramps,
Mr.. Brooks referred to the shelters"
missions @free lodging houses" etc,
as one of the evils of the day You
organize your hypocrisy that way"
said Mr.. Brooks. "Tramps can go to
these places. perhaps give 10 cents for
a bed if they have 1t, or If they haven't
it they are kept without it. They know
it. They flock to these places. 1t is
so easy to be kind and so hard to be
just. This impulsive charity that
gives with no test is easy. People say
they would rather give to half a dozen
undeserving than to miss one who is
deserving. This is the mistaken spirit
that prevails"
The remedy Mr. Brooks suggested
was a registry office primarily to find
out who of the unemployed wanted
work He recommended that those
who could and would not work should
be put under restraint on farm colo

woman, deeply religious. and it had
been her ambition to raise enough money
to build fine church for the congrega-
tion of which she was member.
"Uncle John" thought it all over and
one day gave his whole fortune to the
church trustees and told them to build
as fine an edifice as possible with that
and what they could raise besides. So
the South Broadway Christian church
was built. When it became known that
Mr. Sutton had given his all, the con-
gregation proposed to support him, but
he refused this and only asked to be
made sexton and be allowed to live in
the tower. He has held the position
ever since, and, although he is now 76
years old, is still hale and vigorous.
Mr.. Sutton's earlier life was filed
with varied experiences and exciting in
cidents. From his fathers farm near
Butler, Pa, he went to Pittsburg and
began work on the canal as towboy.
James A. Garfield was his friend and
comrade in those days. Later Sutton
worked in a rolling mill and became an
engineer. For awhile he drove four
horse stage, and then for IA years he
was q locomotive engineer on various
eastern roads. Being disabled by an ac-
cident, he quit railroading and started
a bakery in Alliance, o. Then he went
west and began his successful hunt for
fortune in the nninea

PROFESSOR DAVID STARR JORDAN.
sity. DR.. Jordan's subject was 1.-THE
Sober Mind, " and in the course of his
address he paid his respects to the re-
viva1ists in the following manner:
''Stimulants produce temporary in
sanity and so does revival of religion,
one of those revivals in which men lose
all their reason and self control. This
is simply a form of drunkenness, no
more worthy of respect than the drunk
enness that lies in the cutters. -
Now, it happened that a revival of
some importance was at that very time
under way in Oakland, and, although
the rest of the address was of far diff
ferent tenor, the California divines took
it as personal affront and proceeded to
denounce DR.. Jordan from their pulpits
and through the medium of the press.
They are still at it, and some very scath-
ing replies have been hurled at his head.
This is not the first time that Presi-
dent Jordan has brought down the wrath
of the ecclesiastics. He does not pretend
to be theologian, however, but he is
more than scientist, for in many ways
he has shown himself to possess broad
mind. His scientific career has been a
most brilliant one. He was born at
Gainesville, N. Y, in 1851, and after
graduating at Cornell university became
a professor of biology there. He also
studied under Agassiz, giving special
attention to fish life. He has explored
the waters Of almost every locality in
the Union and is recognized as the lead
ing icthyologist in the country.
After filling various college chairs he
was called to the University of Indiana.
He became president of this institution
and in three years raised it from lower
grade and gave it rank among the first
of state universities. In 1891 he was
made president of the Leland Stanford.

who gave his last cent for the purpose
and who now occupies the humble posi-

tower. He is John G. Sutton, and to all
his numerous acquaintances he is Un-

The story of how he came to invest
his entire fortune in a church is pecu1

mine prospector and struck it rich to
the tune of about 500, 600. Not satisfied
with this, he kept on investing in min
ing property until his bank account had
dwindled to something like $50, 200.
Then his wife died, and he concluded to
stop speculating. She had been good

Otto went to call on her. He had not

the gilded hair he flew into a rage and
Pauline attempted to flee from the room
but the bullet caught her in the back

Otto's name is tattooed on Pauline's

not do it, and she vows she will have
her arm cut off if she ever gets well.
