Governor Sadler Says There viii Be
no Special Session to Consider the
Scheme,

Scneme.
The following press dispatch from Carson
appears in the San Francisco Chronicle:
Carson New, March 2s-The town
was elated this morning when the paper sug-
gesting the establishment Of a lottery in
Nevada arrived. The proposition was die
cussed here two years ago. but met with
opposition from all quarters, as it was never
fully under stood. An effort to pass bill
through tbs Legislature was made but was
not pushed energetically, and the scheme
was retained secret by its promoters until
after the legislature effort failed.
Nay aeople expressed their approba-
tion on the subject to-day, and said they
would exert every power to encourage such
. measure. The report was rife that Gov
ernor Ssdler would call an extra session Of
the Legislature to consider the matter, and
that he had given his promise to Dan A. Stu.
art to do so. The Governor was questioned
this afternoon and said that the affair had
never been mentioned to him.
OHA0 yOu ChAi all CAtTd ocoslUu OF the
Legislature if popular clamor demanded it ?
he was asked.
i should not, he retorted, under any
consideration. could not no so in justice
to the people of my State. The expense
would bean unnecessary burden for them to bear
and the agitation would be simply q mat
tsrot moment to me. If they wish lottery in
Nevada they will have to wait for two years
when the Legislature will meet in regular
session. Personally, know nothing of the
benefits that lottery would bring to New
ada"
IT the Carson correspondent Of the As
sociated Press reflected the sentiment of the
people in the above dispatch, Carson must

Having once tasted the intoxicating delight
OF being the center of sportdom it is little
rough on our sister to fall back into the old
state Of petrifaction. 1t would be quite a
help to have a big lottery with numerous
agents and monthly drawings to locate per.
maDently alongside the capitol building.
Bat we fear this can never be, as the con-
stitution of the State would have to be
amended, and that takes six years and q
vote of the people The people would never
vote for it even il two Legislature should,
and that is likely in view of the storm raised
by the last Legislature in daring to pass up
on question which involves the honor If

IL is not the improvement of laws alone
that is needed, but an Improvement in the
men who execute the laws, says the Philadel,
phia Press. "The worst law can be greatly
mitigated by those who carry it out and the
best law can be neutralized. An Eoglish-
man was visiting a court in one of the Con-
tinsntal States in which examination by
torture had been abolished. He said to the
Judge: why is it that your witnesses
squirm and wriggls SO while they are being
examiner The Judge replied; Well,
since torture was abolished, the witnesses all
lie; when their lies become unbearable l give
a sign with my hand, and an officer runs a
pin into the back of the witness. You have
no idea how much this use Of pin cleariies
the testimoney.' The law Of the Southern
States against murder Of course apply to the
iynching; but to have the law enforced
that is the thing. The law Of Turkey,
though far from models. yet are vastly
better than their execution"

and sledges, waiting the word which
was TO start them on their perilous and
doubtful journey.
Captain Helding, of the Wanderer,
accompanied by his officers, entered
the hut-in high spirits at the pros
pect of a change. Behind them, loung-
ing in slowly by himself, was a dark,
sullen, heavy-browed man. He neither
spoke nor offered his hand to any
body; he was the one person present
who seemed to be perfectly Indifferent
to the fate in store for him. This was
the man whom his brother officers had
nicknamed the Bear of the Expedition.
In other words-Riohard Wardour.
Crawford advanced to welcome Cap
tain Helding. Frank-remembering

the friendly reproof which he had just
received-passed over the other OFF,
GERS of the Wanderer, and made spe-
cial effort to be civil to Crayford's
friend.
Good morning, Mr.. Wardour," he
said. I'VE may congratulate each 9TH
err on the chance of leaving this horri-
BILE place"
You may think it horrible" War
dour retorted. II like it,"
Like it? Good heavens! Why?"
Because there are no women here"
Frank turned to his brother officers
without making any further advances
in the direction of Richard Wardour
The Bear Of the Expedition was more
unapproachable than ever.
In the meantime the hut had become
thronged by the able-bodied officers
and men of the two ships. Captain
Helding, standing in the midst of
them, with Crawford by his side, pro-
ceeded to explain the purpose of the
contemplated expedition to the au-
dience which surrounded him. He be-
gan in these words;
Brother officers and men of the
Wanderer and Sea-Mew, it is my duty
to tell YOU very briefly. the reasons
which have decided Captain Ellsworth
and myself on dispatching an exploring
party in search of help. Without re-
calling all the hardships we have suf-
fered for the last two years-the de-
struction, first of one of our ships, then
of the other; the death of some of our
bravest and best companions; the vain
battles we have been fighting with the
ice and snow ard boundless desolation
of these inhospitable regions-without
dwelling on these things, it is my duty
to remind you that this, the last place
in which we have taken refuge, is far
beyond the track of any previous ex-
petition, and that consequently our
chances of being discovered by any
rescuing parties that may be sent to
look after us is, to say the least of it,
a chahce of the most uncertain kind.
You all agree with me, gentlemen, so
far?"
The officers with the exception of
Wardour, who stood apart in sullen ST.
lence) all agreed, so far
The Captain went on: at is there
fore urgently necessary that we should
make another, and probably a last, eff
fort to eXtricate ourselves. The winter
is not far off, game is getting scarcer
and scarcer, our stock of provisions is
running low, and the sick-especially,
am sorry to say, the sick in the Wan
derers hut-are increasing in number
day by day. We must look to our own
lives, and to the lives of those who
are dependent on lis, and we have no
time to lose
The officers echoed the words cheer
fully.
Right. right! No time to lose"
Captain Helding resumed: 1.-The
plan proposed is, that detachment of
the able-bodied men and officers among
us should set forth this very day and
make another effort to reach the near
est inhabited settlements, from which :
help and provisions may be dispatched
to those who remain here. The new
direction to be taken, and the various
to be adopted, are all
drawn out ready. The only question
now before us is-who is to stop here,
and who is to undertake the journey?"
The officers answered the question
with one accord: Volunteers" The
men echoed their officers-"Aye, aye,

How Big Your Feet Should BE.

1t is quite easy to tell if your feet
are the proper size. Every person, I'M
less deformed, has bone of the exact
normal length of the foot, and by COM
parison the largeness or smallness of
the foot can be seen. The foot in
length should be the length of the ulna
a bone in the forearm, which extends
from the lump in the cater portion Of
the wrist to the elbow.

The result of inquiries that have
been made into the reason of this i'm
munity tends to show that the absence
of sensibility in the auditory nerves is
the occasion of the entire freedom of
deaf mutes from sea sickness. Both
physiological experiment and patholo-
gical observation point to that part of
the inner ear known as the semi-circu-
lar canals as exercising a con-
trolling influence over the main
tenance of the erect posture and the
sense of equilibrium. AS those func-
tons are frequently disturbed on ship
board by the rapidly changing motion
of the ship, it seems probable that this
has much to do with sea sickness, If It
is not the sole cause of it.

A little wine or spirit diluted with
water will frequently succeed in check
ing the vomiting and nausea, and the
same effect has been known to arise
from eating two or three fresh apples,
while any very strong impression made
on the mind by exciting a powerful
influence on the brain is at once cap
able of arresting the progress of sea
sickness, such, for instance, as an
alarm of fire or other risk to which the
vessel may be suddenly exposed 1t
may not be generally known that deaf
mutes never suffer from sea sickness, a
fact which is perfectly we'll understood
by those who have had charge of these
unfortunates.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1897-10-01

There is no doubt that many people
who would otherwise spend their holt
days in visiting foreign countries are
deferred by the fear of sea sickness, an
effective remedy for which does not yet
appear to have been invented. AL
though various means of relief have
obtained a degree of credit in this dis
tressing and severe affection Of the
stomach, still the greatest relief is
usually to be gained by remaining per-
fectly quiet and motionless. and by ex-
posing the body to the fresh air on
deck instead of retiring to the cabin.

The Cuban Message.


President McKinleys' promised
Cuban message, heralded for days
before it's appearance in order to
block legislation on that subject,
fell very flat when it reached con-
gress. The senate promptly took
UP the Morgan resolution.
Resolved, By the senate and
house Of representatives that a con-
dition of public war exists between
the government of Spain and the
government proclaimed and for
some time maintained by force of
arms by the people Of Cuba; and
that the United States Of America
will maintain a strict neutrality be-
tween the contending powers, ac-
cording to each ali the rights Of
belligerents in the ports and terri
tory of the United States.
And passed it by vote of three
to one. OF the presidents smessage
we give the opinion of some Of the
ablest papers, republican and demo-
cratic, in the country:
Chicago Tribune: The message
is feebly and painfully inadequate
if the president is going no further.
New York journal: The logical
sequence of the action taken yester-
day is intervention to end the war.
New Orleans Times-Democrat:
President McKinley's lack of back
bone is very distinctly asserting
itself.
Chicago Record: According to
the best evidence obtainable the
situation in Cuba now is very near
ly that which Mr.. Cleveland de.
fined as marking the limit of our
forbearance.
New York Tribune: There is
not the slightest reference to the
war which has been raging for more
than two years, or to the more re-
cent orders Of General Weyler
which have directly caused the des
tltution complained Of.
New York World: Has the sap
of manhood utterly gone out of us!
Have we abandoned our high mis-
sion? Has the quibble Of the law
yer quieted pulses that once bound
ed in hatred of oppression? Or is
it only that government in this
land of liberty has fallen into hands
palsied with fear and paralyzed by
politics?
The government has held off toe
long. The outrageous conduct of the
Spanish authorities in Cuba shoulc
have been checked months ago
And now we will see if the republi
cans in the house have as mucl
backbone as a majority of theil
party in the senate.
