This Is What He Saws.

Hon. A. G. Cleveland came over
from Carson last night and is spend
ing the day in Reno. Cleve may vet
be candidate for the United States
Senate to succeed Senator Stewart.
He is as yet, non-committal, how
ever, butts evidently Saving wood. F"
lie paid the Gazette Office a pleasant
visit this morning and the Gazette
man asked him the question point
blank if he would be candidate.
His reply was that seat in the
United States Senate was one of
honor and trust and he was tired of
seeing it put up to the highest bid
der and hawked about the State and
if he wanted to run he regarded it
as his privilege. He said he had
lived in the State since 1868 and we
had had hardly a clean Senatorial
contest in all that time, and 81 may
yet conclude to give the boys new
deal and let them decide between a
bonafide resident of the State for
thirty-four years and Senator Stew
art who lives here for convenience
and not for climate. Cleve said
further that if he concluded to make
the fight he would run on home
rule platform, "Nevadans for Ne
vada," and if he was defeated the
people would find him cheerful
loser.

dream Of his life to establish ala oriental
Monte Carlo and catch some OF the
vast amount OF money that flows thith-
er. But the famous breaker OF faro
banks, looking more like a sleek, full
habitel clergyman than ever. isn't very
hopeful He says that so long az Eng

is no more chance of establishing a
public gambling house there than there
is Of opening one on Broadway.
Monte Carlo will never have a rival. ="
said Mr.. Sheedy, gloomily. AS long as
Monte Carlo stands IL win be alone in
the field. In Egypt everything is ripe
for the establishment of such a place,
except English power, and so long as
there is British domination in Egvpt
there can be no open gambling. There
is money unlimited, and the gambling
spirit Is rampant, but the English will
not stand for ii, although there is
a great deal of play in the clubs.

other place ON earth where there
is more gambling than in Egypt; tut
it is all behind closed doors, They are
all hawks and no chickens there, ANA
the man who sallies forth in search Of
soft marks is doomed TO disappoint-
ment.
The Russians are the most desperate
gamblers at Cairo, the Greeks the
shrewdest, the Turks the most daring.
These Cairo gamblers take risks that
would set an American to rubbing his
eyes Anything that is square salts

gambler, but his name is like marbles

PANAcA POINTS.

Some of our best citizens are
threatened with law suit next term
of Court. No names need be mem
toned but "a word TO the wise is
sufficient"
Mrs. w. L. Rich has gone to State
Line to open a boarding house.
Her past experience in that line
insures all patrons satisfaction in
every respect.
Everything is running smoothly
since one of our condemned citizens
told some of the boys where to stop
their foolishness, and you bet they
didn't need the second invitation.
Perhaps tbs better so.
When man comes out openly
and offers to fight the "head' man
of town and all his followers he
ought to have a chance. But if he
gets it, he will have to go to some
other town as he cannot be accom-
modated here.
One OF our young men got out on
his muscle the other night and got
run in. He appeared before the
Court and plead guilty to the charge
OF disturbing the peace, was fined
five dollars and costs which he
promptly paid. He said he would
give ten dollars more to get an
opportunity of telling some people
how far below him they stand. He
didn't only tell them but made them
believe it | should Judge from the
way they looked while he was tell
ing it.
Our town has been somewhat
over-done with missionaries of late,
especially the kind they send from
other parts. We can furnish better
gospel timber at home than can be
produced in Utah, Pine Valley not

Deeds OF Heroism In the Wreck OF the

To the brief announcement from Ans

vices from New Zealand add stirring
particulars.
When the steamer left Auckland on
July % she had on board IS saloon and
5j steerage passengers, including a
number booked through from sydney
The place where the vessel was lost is
on the extreme northern point of III
Mahai peninsula, between Osborne ana
Napier, where fiat rocks, awash at hinb
tide, extend seward mile from tha
shore. In dirty weather and on a dan,
night the steamer, in charge of the
thlrd officer, ran nearer into land than
was consistent with safety. The can
tain, aroused too late, was unable ~
avert the danger, and the vessel strucle
even as the order was given to bring
her head out to sea.
1t is satisfactory to know that all on
board. passengers and crew, exhibited
courage and common sense. There wns
no sign OF panic, aud it was apparently
with good intent, though in appareni
bravado, that one man set himself +,
play the piano in order to keep M tba
Women's spirits. The boats were gat
out quickly and the transfer, despte >

boats made the best of their way Ia

The loss of life occurred in landinp
Inc larger boats, containing nearly all
the passengers, came through safel~
but the dingy, in which were eight me,
turned turtle in the surf and two of tbe
occupants were drowned. The chic
stewards boat is also supposed to have
capsized, and it is feared that its occr.
pants are drowned. Six bodies have
been washed ashore and the loss of life
altogether is put at 10, including tw,
men who persisted in an attempt to
rescue.
An old Maori saw the stewards boat
trying to effect landing at Bow Hair
Dor in a very heavy surf. They an
peared TO have only one oar pullingand

surf, and every man swan to the beach.
