Sore.

The Silver State is rather sore against
the caucus nominee, and the small vote
given to Nixon. The following is part of an
editorial of that paper:
"While John P. Jones received nearly a
unanimous vote of the Nevada legislative
caucus on Monday night, and while the
members of the legislature are the represent
atives of the people, it does not necessarily
follow that he was by any such degree the
choice of the people Of the State, as his eau.
Gus vote would lead casual observer to be-
lieve. Many OF the members voting for him
did so knowing that they were committing a
crime against the honor of Nevada; but they
were placed in the peculiar position of being
pledged to him prior to election, and they
could not see their way clear to do other
than to complete the farce of once more
electing nonresident to the highest honol
within our State.

The Laws Delay.

Last week Judge Talbot became iuelligi.

he Immediately telegraphed for Judge
Cheney, saying special team would meet
him at Desert station. Judge Cheney left
Reno last Thursday and Salt Lake Friday
night, but misconstruing the message and
familiar with nomenclature of places in south
eastern Utah, he left the rail road at Des-
erett" sometimes called ''Oasis" station
about a. m. last Saturday, from whence
he telegraphed to Judge Talbot here on Sun
day that he was waiting there but no team
had arrived. He was then wired to pro-
station, which he could no do until Tuesday
morning, as no train for Milford leaves Salt
Lake on Sunday evenings. Owing to these
Misunderstanding he did not reach Desert
until Tuesday at 9 p. m.. and owing to bad
roads, only appeared in Phoebe at o'clock
Wednesday. Judge Talbot sent out teams
for relays between here and Desert, aud on
Tuesday morning left for Elko, availing hin
self Of these extra teams until he met .ludk Z
Cheney who used them in a remarkably
rapid trip to this place. These matters
caused delay in the trial of the case from

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
The Condition of Things as Seen by
Our Chief Executive.

The Governors message to the Legislature
commences with q graceful tribute to the
life of the late Governor John E. Jones.
The financial standing of the State is then
reviewed, showing that the State doesn't
owe = dollar except b its own school fund,
aud the interest on that is paid to date, and
suggests that the salaries Of State officials
have been reduced enough. TIE University
asks that its appropriation be increased to
$4,000. The General School fund amounts
to 81. .240, ,2oS.3S. The Orphans home has
$4.55 of its 1895 appropriation on hand. The
State printing office with an appropriation of
sl2, 200 has already run beb i'd $44S. 80. and
did not print the Nevada reports at all for
lack Of funds.
The Governor recommends that the State
library be placed under control Of the Capito
commissioners.
The State prison has expended but $751;,
1892 of its appropriation Of $4,000. The
State Weather service, the Governor thinks,
should not be maintained. 1t now costs the
State $1,000 each year. The Board Of Health
cost $1,000 and the Asylum $6S, ,663.3S.
Under the existing law the State owes the
several military companies $40. so for
rent of armories and owes the V. & 7. R. R.
1881 for transportation of militia to act as
escort duty at the funeral of Governor Jones.
The Purity of Elections law is satlsfact.
ory, but a few slight changes are recon.
mended. The attention of the Legislature
is called to the general demand for a consti
tutional convention, and also to woman
suffrage.
The message concludes with the following
general remarks:
That an appropriation of $500 dollars pei
annum be made for the State Land agent a
Washington. as his services are required
in connection with the selection of lands
under the lands grants:
That the Lieutenant. Governor be mad
ex-officio warden of the State prison at
salary to be fixed by your honorable body.
That the travelling expenses of the severs
district judges, which now paid by til
State be paid by the counties in their re
spective districts.
That all commissions issued to person
who fail to qualify within thirty days fror
the issuance of the commission be declare
null and void by statute.

The waist has a yoke outlined with

was finished with a border of the taffeta.

wAlMs OF WATCHES.
Hang Up Your TinlepIscs At Night II "
Value IL.


Value IL.
To most people the whims and ca
prices of watch are deep mystery. |
One very common cause of the watch |
gaining or losing is the disposition that
is made of it at night. If you wear a
watch next to your body during the
day and put it on a cold marble mantel
piece at night, or in fact anywhere in
cold room, the watch is sure to either
gain or lose.
Everybody knows that the proximity
of dynamo will magnetic the steel
parts of watch and ruin it for the time
being. A watch may be affected by
electricity without the owner having
been. near a dynamo. The amount Of
electricity in some people is SO great
that it can seriously affect the steel
parts of watch. A downtown watch
maker told reporter that he often bad
examined watches which were sery
slightly magnetized. He used to de-
magnetic them and return them, at the
same time cautioning the wearers not
to go near dynamo. When a man has
the same trouble with his watch con-
tinually it is a proof that the static
electricity in his body has affected the
watch.
The matchmaker said that dark peo-
pie are more likely to affect their
watches in this way, and women more
so than men. The amount of electriei-
ty in the body is, Of course, very slight,
but very little is required to affect the
delicate works of O watch. Persons of
high electric organization should wear
a watch with steel case if they hope
TO have an accurate time-piece.
A watch should never be laid hori-
zontally at night, but should always be
hung upon a nail. Change of position
will not affect mechanically perfect
watch. but such a watch is yet to be
made
1t is well known that watch will
stop for some unexpected reason and
go on again all right If it is given q
slight jolt. The same trouble may not
occur again for years. This is an acci
dent TO which all watches are liable
when carried around on the person. II
is due to the hairspring stud or the
regulator pins. The cause is a sudder
iump or quick movement. such as get
ting on moving car. A jolt is given t6
: the balance-wheel and hairspring ant
this renders the catching possible. Tht
