into 'The Girl / Left Behind Me-" and
the regiment was of to Mobile to wat
there for further orders sending them
to the front.
The Second Battalion commander
rode a horse that had been in Clusters
last battle, but escaped massacre. Like
his rider, also an old Indian fighter.
the horse was getting old and gray
now, but there was good deal Of fire
in his old frame yet. and he danced
of friskily as though longing for battle
once more.
They had to march eight miles to the
railroad which was to transport them
from the Western post, and an order
was called through the ranks for
route step,' which made every man
fall into his own gait, and broke the
straight lines into ragged curves. The
order was indicative Of the difference
between dress parade, when to be out
of step was nothing short of breach
OF regulations, and actual service, when
thoughtful officers saved their men un-
necessary work out of action.

ished their handkerchiefs vigorously in
a noble endeavor that the final glimpse
the officers had of home should not be
associated with fearful women, and as
the last company swung out of the post
to the inspiring strains Of the band,
the sweethearts and wives separated to
their different quarters, now SO desert
ed, and had 1t out alone. AS a picture
of desolation, Goldsmith's Deserted
Village" isn't patch on garrison
after the troops have gone!
But the regiment recks not Of that,
but says, 1T is war;" and takes to the
field like ducks to water. though there
are many youngsters in the service
who have never been IN camp except
for practice, and not few men who
have not seen action even among the
Indians, who have been rather subdued
these past years. And they are living
the routine life impatiently, waiting
the orders that will make them see ac-
tual service and will bring more VIC
fame Of its old record. In thte mean
time they drill and police the camp and
sing about their campfires as the sea-
soned veterans tell tales of the battles
they have seen.
The camp of regiment is laid out
like little village and is model of
neatness and order. Not scrap Of pa

The men in camp usually smuggle IN

now with his regiment in Mobile car

especially on moist or seepy land. The
nuts should be planted where the trees
are to grow, as it is not an easy thing
to transplant it and make it live.
Every farmer should plant somewhere
on his farm grove of black walnut,
and although he may not live to derive
direct profit from it yet it will be q
permanent and valuable improvement
and someone will eventually rise up
and call him blessed. When once well
started it grows quite rapidly and in
six or eight years from the seed will
begin to bear nuts. which generally
sell readily for fifty cents bushel, and
about the only work in harvesting Il
to pick them up from the ground In
the fall. The white walnut. or butter
nut, has a better and more valuable
nut, but the timber is not SO good or
valuable as the black walnut.

It is SO easy to be at least half way

people deliberately set out to pattern

Last week a young fellow was arrested
in Usage City for theft. and on search

were found on his person, aside from
a sum of money. He will probably get
into the reform school, which will be
no new experience for him, as he has
been out but eight months. after serv-
ing q term of five years, for stealing a
horse and buggy. He had the distinc-
ton of being the youngest horse thief
in Kansas and is naturally bad case.

SENATOR CHANDLER says McKin-
ley is still in favor of bimetallism.
He is, like the old woman kept
tavern. Mckinley sent commits
sion abroad recently to see what
could be done in the way of an in
ternational agreement, and at the
first intimation that some good
might be accomplished he sent
a message to the other countries
that the policy of this government
was being misrepresented the COM
mission. Mckinley cannot play
the great American game of "draw"
a little Bit Every bluff he makes
is called, and he has now made SO
many that any common player
can read his hand like an open
book. He will find it hard work
to get suckers to play with him
much longer, and Chandler had
better pass his hand, or betters till,
stay out of the game.

MARK HANNA succeeded in pur-
chasing seat in the United States
Senate this week from the Ohio
Legislature, but it was very close
game for the boss. On the joint
ballot of both Houses he secured
70 votes, the anti Hanna candidate
received 70 votes, one scattered and
one was absent, so Hanna was re-
ally elected by one vote. Few ex-
pected that he would be defeated
so there is not much disappoint-
ment. But the fight has shown up
a great falling off of supporters of
latter day Republican methods, and
the victory is very lame one for
the party, and by the time for
another Presidential election there
will only be "a remnant of the party
left in Ohio, thanks to Hanna.

BY our exchanges it is noticed
that several mail contracts have
been let for Nevada routes to people
in the eastern and southern States.
These contracts are taken by people
who never travelled over the route,
and probably never set foot in
Nevada, and at price that will not
more than quarter pay for the work.
To serve these foreign contractors
right not a person in Nevada should
touch the work except at remu-
lucrative rates; this would make the
outside contractors lose money on
the deal, aud they would not be so
anxious to underbid everybody in
the future.

SENATOR STEWART.

people OF the state OF Nevada Will
be called upon to designate their
choice for a United States Senator.
So far as the TINES has heard there
is but one avowed candidate in the
field for the position, and he is the
present incumbent, Hon. VIM. M.
Stewart. There have been others
mentioned as possible candidates,
but they have not yet declared
themselves as wanting the position,
and according to our notion never
will 80 declare themselves. They
know that in all honor Stewart
should be reelected to continue his
warfare against the gold men of the
East and for the cause that is so
near and dear to the people of Ne
vada-the free coinage of silver.
Senator Stewart has now served
two terms IN the Senate, nearly,
and from the time he set foot in the
Senate chamber at Washington he
has battled continually for free coin
age in session of Congress and ont.
At the time the Senator was first
elected the silver question was not
being agitated much. Things were
drifting along quietly and the gold
bugs--Republicans--were promising
at every election to edo something
for silver" Senator Stewart intro
duced free coinage bill and passed
it, and he continued to introduce
such measure and have it pass
the Senate at nearly every session
of Congress. The measure could
not be passed in the lower House,
however, and no straight-out free
coinage measure could be made
law All this time Senator Stewart
was working within the lines of the
Republican party. When he found
that it was useless to depend on
their promises further he dropped
the party and went to work on in
dependent lines, and to him more
than any other one individual, is
due the credit of making the silver
question the paramount issue of the
day. He has spent time and money
in the work OF educating the people
on the silver question, and he is
looked upon by the foremost silver
advocates in the land as leader in
the cause and wise counsellor on
all matters pertaining to finances.
The hatred that is borne him by
Republicans and gold bugs of the
country is proof that his work for
free coinage has caused them much
disturbance and uneasiness, and
his defeat would be heralded to the
world as great victory for single
standard gold shylocks of the East.
These men have elected Mark Han
ma to fill the place of John Sher-
man, whom Stewart fiayed alive as
a traitor to his country for the un-
derhanded methods he used to de-
monetize silver, and the people of
Nevada should not fail to keep
Stewart in the Senate to tend to
Mark. He can do it to suit the
taste of the best American on earth,
for he has been in harness long
enough to know the tricks of all
kinds of gold bugs, and if he cannot
head them off no one can, In our
humble opinion the people will
make a great mistake if they fail
to return Stewart to the Senate. 1t
will be interpreted by the gold men
that the people of Nevada. have
given up the fight for free coinage,
and this we cannot afford to have
said when the victory for Bryan
and free coinage is so near at hand.
