A JEWS SAD PLIGHT.

The Wayfarer learns Of a rather cruel
practical joke which was played on
Moritz Weiss yesterday afternoon at
fresh meat place on Tatnall street
above Second.
Weiss is a young Jew who peddles
apples, oranges and other good things
for living. He reached the front door
of the meat establishment and asked a
young man If he wished to purchase
any Of his fruit

Colored people, as a class, are not dis
tinguished for a provident spirit, but
some OF them can see through a mill

the following example from the Atlanta

his colored constituents, "and l want

A DIsPATCHER,s OI1TFIT.

One of the car-dispatchers in the SER
vice Of the Wilmington City Railway
Company must be as cOld-blOOded as a
snake. In Winter and moderately cold
weather, so the Wayfarer is told, he
wears two overcoats, an undercoat, two
knit woOlen jackets, a vest, two shirts
two undershirts, pair of heavy trous-
ers, two pairs of woOlen trouserettes
three pairs of stockings, one pair OF
overshoes, pulse warmers, two pairs OF
gloves, ear-warmers, a heavy hat ol
cap, muffler two liver pads. an elec-
trio belt, a cold look and a dissatisfied
expression. He has laid off his gloves
and one overcoat, now, but occasionally
he regrets It.

wIrs1L AND DOUGHERTY.


John Dougherty, the murderer who
escaped from New Castle Jail on Sat
urday evening, entertains feeling OF
hatred for State Detective Walter Wit
sill. who was instrumental in his appre-
hcnsion and conviction for 50 cruelty
numbering a Swede with a coupling
pin, the motive being robbery and the
amount of booty secured in exchange
for a human life and a life-term in Jail
being but sixty cents.
He has repeatedly sworn that he
would kill Detective Witsil for his Of
fetal diligence il he ever got out of
jail.
On the day that sentence was i'm
posed upon Dougherty in the Court of
oyer and Terminer, Witsil was stand
ing near the reporters table when
Dougherty was led out TO begin what
promised to be a term of incarceration
ending only with DEATH The Wayfarer
was present, and not far from Detec-
tive Witsil. AS DoTgherty passed he
glared savagely at Witsil and cursed
him most vehemently. Witsll smiled
at the impotent rage of the guilty man
felicitating himself with the belief that
the desperate would soon be where he
could not harm anyone. AFTER Dough-
erty reached New Castle Jail he often
spoke OF Witsil and made threats as to
what he would do il he ever got a
chance. These threats OF course came
to the ears of the detective, but he
paid little heed to them.
Now that Dougherty is at large all
these things have assumed a more Sc
rious character In the eyes of the de-
tective. Knowing the desperate nature
OF the man he does not propose to take
any chances.
"If I run. across Daugherty and ne
even so much as looks menacingly at
me. propose to shoot him down" eaid
the detective shortly after he heard OF
the escape II don't propose TO give
him the slightest opportunity to shoot
me-"
Quite a number OF his friends have
advised him to be on his guard against
Dougherty at all times, as he Is a bad
man.
The detective "a, not afraid Of him,
but he does not.propose TO be taken un-
awares by the escaped convict,

The Great Wallace Shows which
will exhibit in Reno Tuesday Oct.
4th, was called "The Greatest Show"
in an editorial mentioned by the
Post of Washington, d. G. In part
the Post said:
The Great Wallace Show repre-
sents all that there is of the legiti-
mate worth in the circus business.
1t is in charge of men who aspire
to elevate the tone and purify the
atmosphere of the calling, and we
believe the thousands who have at
tended the performances during the
past two days will certify they have
succeeded. Not only was the per-
Torrance up to the highest profess
sional and artistic standard, the
menagerie large and varied, and the
trained animals of the best, but
there was not in connection with
the Wallace Show a single one of
those discreditable and demoraliz-
ing features which have done so
much to give the circus bad name
and to discourage the true friends
of that otherwise wholesome form
of amusement.

Under the proper heading in this
issue will be found the announce
ment of |. A. Strosnider, the regular
Silver Party nominee for the AS
sembly. Mr.. Strosnider is well
known in Mason Valley and will be
better known in this end of the
county before he is through his
canvass, and wherever he is known
he is liked and respected. He is a
young man of exemplary habits, is
engaged in ranching and mining in
Mason Valley, and knows just what
the people want in the way of legis-
lation. He is an ardent Silver
Party man and will support Sena-
tor Stewart for reelection to the
United States Senate. Furthermore,
if there is a chance to do anything
to further a scheme for water stor-
age he will have hand in that as
he is not cheap man under any
consideration.

For County Com missioner.

Byron Gates, of this place, an
nounces himself in this issue of the
TIMES as candidate for County
Commissioner The people of Lyon
county can go great way before
they will find better man for this
position than Mr.. Gates. He has
been resident of this county for a
good many years and has shown
his business ability by making a
few dollars while others have lost
money. Such a man would do to
trust to do business for the county.
Another thing to be taken into con-
sideration this year is that Dayton,
the county seat, has been without a
Commissioner (resident) for the
past two years. This year the peo-
Pile here think they are entitled to
Commissioner, and hope that the
people in the valley will help them
out in their request. No mistake
will be made in electing Mr.. Gates.

Opinion OF AN Eminent Jur,st.

Ballot reform in New York was necessary,
says an eminent jurist, because mere polite
ians by trade, who had no interest in govern
ment or politics except to enrich and aegran-
die themselves. sought control. There are
other excellent reforms besides that of the
ballot. Conspicuous among them is the reform
in disordered physical system by Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. which counteracts tendencies
to serious disease bred by deficiency of vital
stamina irregularity of the bowels. stomach.
liver or kidneys. and inquietude of the nerves.
This sterling medicine, which has for nearly
half century won popular favor. not only for
its excellent qualities in a remedial capacity.
but also for its serviceable properties as med
icinal stimulant.

Cutting ARRAY.

Last Saturday night, after the
speaking, some of the Silver City
boys who were down here got into
a row with some Italians in the
Union Holel saloon. After a row
of words for some time Alex Arm
strong struck one of the Italians
and a general row was on in a min
ute. Charlie Pollock knocked down
about dozen men, but the Italian
who engaged Armstrong in combat
drew knife and cut Armstrong
severely in several places. When
peace was regained the Italian who
did the cutting was not to be found.
Armstrong; wounds are not dan
gerous but are quite painful, and
he had several stitches taken in two
of them. He preferred no charge
against anyone as he considered he
and his friends were to blame for
the trouble as much as anybody.

j. d. Torreyson announces him.
self in this issue of the TIMES as a
candidate for District Judge of the
First Judicial District, comprising
the counties of Ormsby, Storey,
Lyon, Esmeralda and Douglas. Mr..
Torreyson is considered one of the
most able lawyers in the State, and
his practice has been so extensive
that he is familiar with the law in
every detail. Such being the case,
there is no reason why he would
not make an excellent Judge should
he be elected, and the TINES be-
speaks for him at least the earnest
consideration of his candidacy by
the voters of Lyon county.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
1t to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and 1t has never since returned"
WILLIAM BARTz, 418 South Williams St.,

You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
