Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1897-10-16

The G Zette If last evening accuses
,he Silver papers of bowling over the
appointment of Spriggs of New York
as Nevada's Indian Agent, The Ga
zette must have forgotten that about
three days ago it howled for a whole
column telling of the outrage. or next
to it, that had been perpetrated Cd
capable men in Nevada by the APP
pointment of this federal pap hunter
from a distant State, and that the En-
terprise and one or two other guiubug
papers have republished the Gazet e's
howl. If any silver papers have been
bowling over the appointment OF
Spriggs it Vas doubtless owing to the
sympathy felt for some of the disap-
pointed ones who sacrificed their own
interest and the interest of State and
their neignbors in the bope of Office
Journal.
1t is said that Mckinley declines te
appoint Nevada Republicans to Office
on the ground that a man who votes
for a single standard in b Silver State
is not to be trusted with office. Nc
Kinley seems to have practical idea:

FIELD, TERRY AND TIE EX-
AkiEER.

In Monday EXGmirer there ap-
peared an article relative to Chief
Justice Field. in which the Terry
matter was Taked up and the state
ment made that Terry over and over
again threatened to shoot Field on
sight. This is untrue. Judge Terry
made no threats against Field at any
time, although the public prints
teemed with threats alleged to have
been made by Terry. The writer at
the time interviewed Judge Terry at
the Cosmopolitan Hotel and in the
interview he said:
Il have never threatened the life Of
Judge Field. The interviews in
which I am represented as having
done so are manufacturer from whole
cloth. They are absolute lies. l
am not in the habit and never have
been in the habit of making threats.
have never said | would challenge
him to a duel. I would not do so
for | know that he would not accept.
Only a coward and bully would Chal-
lenge a man to a duel knowing that
he would not accept"
"Would you accept a challenge
from him?"
He paused a moment before reply
ing and finally said: 1T is hardly
the thing for any man to say he
would accept a challenge which had
not beeu sent, but l will say this, v
and he measured his words slowly
and with emphasis, IF you or any
other man will induce Judge Field to
send me a challenge, l Will gladly
make you a present of my right ann

YONG AMERICANS HAPPY.

Last Wednesday afternoon H. P. Boy son of Palestine took the teacher of Hun tingtown school and his scholars out for sleigh ride It was 8 delightful day and they enjoyed the ride very much. It was nice sleighing until they got to San dy Hook, and ther it was rather thin, but they did not mind it as they had plenty of oranges and candy to eat which MT Boyson had given them. Of course they made a noise, so the people could know that they had 8 little life in them, | and their happiness was responded to in some places by snow balls. They went through Botsford, Botsford Hill and Berkshire, across Bennett's Bridge, up the river, through Sandy Hook and New town, and back to Huntingtown. They arrived at the schoolhouse at 3.30 p. m., and after thanking Mir Boyson for his kindness, went home, talking of nothing but the good time they had had. Three cheers for big-hearted Mir Boyson TX. A. C., One of the Pupils who enjoyed the l Ride.

Local Affairs. Interesting Genealogy.

AND SOME VALUABLE OLD DEEDS.
 Among the aged men of the town is Russell Wheeler, now in his 8Sth year and enjoying a good degree of health. To representative of THE BEE, who dropped in on him the other day. Mir Wheeler gave the interesting fact that six generations of Wheelers had lived in the house he now occupies. So far as MT Wheeler has traced his genealogy he finds that Thomas Wheeler settled in emigrated TO Newtown, but probably never lived in the house now occupied by Russell Wheeler and his son, John B. Wheeler. Obadiah Wheeler's son, Joseph Wheeler, died in 1918 at the age of "A. Joseph Wheeler's son, Joseph Bennett Wheeler, died in 1887 and John B. Wheeler, the latter's son, died Tn 1863 at the age of v. Russell Wheeler, John B. Wheeler and Hervey Wheeler bring the genealogy up to date,
 John B. Wheeler has some interesting old deeds in his possession. One is dated May 2l, 1750 and is deed for land Obadiah Wheeler bought of one Matthew Curtis, and is evidently part of the present farm of John B. Wheeler. This deed is witnessed by Joseph Bristol and Ephraim Peck. Another is deed by which Jeremiah Turner conveyed to Obadiah Wheeler tract of land. It is dated in May, l748, and was acknowledged in the presence of Thomas Tousey, a justice of the peace. Another old deed is signed by John Northrop, town clerk, dated February P, l722. This is signed by Thomas Bennett and Samuel Ferriss as committee.

FAIRFIELD COUNTIES TRADE CENTER.

Bridgeport has long been the great trade center of Western Connecticut, and since the Rowland Dry Goods Go. suc- ceeded W. B. Hall X Co.,, located on the corner of Main and Cannon streets, this ciUy's fame as the location of the most extensive mercantile attractions has gain ed, not waned. What Wanamaker's is to Philadelphia, what the Siegel-Cooper Co. is to New York, the Rowland Dry Goods Co. is to Fairfield county. It would be impossible to house the vast tocks of dry goods, shoes, cloaks, un- derwear, books, stationery, silverware, leather goods, perfumes, corsets, clocks, upholstery, crockery, bicycles, etc., in a building less prententious and roomy than the great Sanford building. The only things ''smalr' about the premises are the prices. The building is big, the stock is immense, the patronage is vast. the qualities are high and the figures are low. We live in an age of progress, and the metropolitan store is brought con veniently accessible to the village dress makers door, and our "country cousins are no longer content co dress in the shop worn and antiquated dress goods of a brings speedily to hand the newest things out, to be ordered by return mail if de. sired, in the safe assurance that the reli- able and painstaking Rowland Dry Goods Co.,, of Bridgeport will fill the same with precision ard promptness, and on ehe same terms allotted to their city patrons Ion the spot.''
 "All under one roof'' is the modern plan, and pleasure it is to do one's trad ing with ''city full' of stores in the group, whether the thermometer is st freezing, at temperate or at blood d-heat- rain or shine. People often express won. der that firm burdened with so many expenses, can exist and sell first class goods at such amazingly low prices. It's the old story over again, of the ''nimble sixpence or the slow shilling" Buying in vast quantities; selling on small mar gin; continuous replenishing of stocks buyers discounts for cash on the nail these are some of the why's and where flores by which great and thoroughly systematized concern, such as the How. land Dry Goods Co.,, is enabled to undersell their imitators and would-be competitors, far and near. And the pur chasing people reap the benefits thereof It Is noticeable fact, to which many a customer will acquiesee, that one or two visits to this bargain producing center of trade suffices to create in one's mind 8 feeling that he is "at home' here-the clerks are 30 attentive, and-well, your money holds out better, too. And that's a mighty comforter in these close-fgur- ing times. This is no place to enumerate goods nor "cast up figures"-you will find tt ose in the advertising columns, but the reader should not fail to note that the first new conceits in dress goods, the lat est novelties in all branches, find their way by the first express train to the shelves and counters of the Rowland Dry Goods Co.,, Bridgeport.
