ENGLAND'S VICTORY.

We certainly ought to be dis
gusted with and ashamed of our
shortsightedness and bad manage
ment when we think of the horrors
our poor soldiers have had to con-
tend with, dying of neglect and
starvation, as compared with the
excellent condition of the British
soldiers after their late conquest of
Soudan. These men, under strict
discipline, have marched and fought
every inch of the way across thou
sands of miles, under a blazing
tropical sun, their antagonists men
whose very religion is the sword,
coming out victorious over the most
skilled cavalrymen in the world,
and, marvellous to relate, leaving a
railroad laid and built behind them !!
This is certainly the acme of skilled
generalship. Not a man died of
disease during the whole time. Per-
haps our conceited young officers,
and old ones, too, might learn
few practical lessons from officers
such as these. There is an old
Latin proverb which says, "It is
allowable to learn from our enc
miles,. 1t would not hurt anybody
to consider the matter. Something
is terribly deficient among officers
and War Department officials. This
elusive something" should be dis
covered and laid hold of at once,
that new horrors and new miseries
may be averted. Now that we are
to have an increased standing army,
do we not need to learn all that we
can to save our men? There is no
glory in dying for sheer want of
care, or starving to death in a land
of plenty. through criminal supine-
ness of conceited officers.

ENLARGED QUARTERS.
Mike Dougherty, One of Our
Oldest Boot and Shoe Men,
in His New Store.

We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement of Mr.. Mike Dougherty,
in another column. For the past twenty
five years Mr.. Dougherty has been en-
gagged in the boot and shoe trade in this
city, and during that time he has acquired
a most thorough knowledge of the bust
ness. He is an excellent judge of stock,
and his customers always find his goods
to be as represented. Recently he moved
into his present commodious store, which
he has stocked with fine line of boots,
shoes and rubbers for men, women and
children, and, as his prices are as low as
possible for frst-class goods, we commend
him to our readers.

constitution and bylaws of the order,
the Kentucky Council has made the fol-
lowing recommendations to be presented
by its delegates to the Supreme Council:
First-That certain amount of assess
ment per annum be made at the beginning
of the year, to be paid monthly; and if it
be found that more is required to meet a
deficiency, the extra amount should be
paid out of the sinking fund.
Second-If member should pay his
assessment for twenty years, and, through
unavoidable misfortune, be unable to meet
his assessments after that period, that the
order should set a certain sum aside for
such member, so that when he dies his
family may reap some benefit from the
he has put into the order.
Third-That the Secretary and Treas
urer should be compelled to reside in the
same city or town, and the same building
while holding these Offices, so that the
expense will be unnecessary and delays
in mails be avoided.

AFTER THE POLE.

There is a lively race now in
progress to discover the South Pole.
1t is between a British and Bel
gian expedition. The English
party, under c. E. Borchgrevink,
has just started from London, while
the Belgian company went a year
ago.
1t is ostensibly a purely scientific
expedition, but there is every reason
to show that it is an immense land
grabbing scheme, Matched by the
loyal subjects of Queen Victoria to
add to her territory. In the hold
of Borchgrevink' ship, the South
ern Cross, there were slowed away
FIVE hundred Union Jacks, which
were there for no other purpose
than to plant on new islands or
headlands in that region, to be
taken in the name of England's
sovereign. Then all their resources,
minerals, fisheries and guano de-
posits will be under the control of
Great Britain.
The Belgian expedition started
out a year ago, and nothing has
been heard of it since. Borchgre-
wink goes better prepared, and,
above all, with a correct idea and
extensive knowledge of the land he
is about to visit. He has already
been on the Antarctic continent, in
1894 and %, whittier he went as a
whaler, and landed on Victoria
Land. He claims that be is the
first white man that ever set foot

Henry Havemeyer, the aggressive
head of the Sugar Trust, and John
Arbuckle, the controller-in-chief of

the participants. The old tradi-

the battle of might against might,
of millions against millions, of brute
force against force. The working
mans coffee cup is the only winner

GRAND-STAND NOTES.

pNfh-O oAAAND NOAA~o
John Kilker done the best he could.
Enthusiasm and good nature ran riot.
The game was greatly enjoyed by the
ladies.
Bob O'Connor took what came his way
nothing.
Jim Donohue at third and at bat-well,
well, some other day.
A. Gies pitched good game and made
the star play of the day.
Larry O'Hara was all right at short
until he connected with Kelly.
Shelly in left field played game that
would be credit to Fred Clarke.
Jim Wolfe gave satisfaction as umpire.
There was no fault-fnding or kicking.
Yenner pitched good game, and with
proper support might have won victory.
Will Holly made one of the finest
catches of the game. Nothing got away
from him.
Pat Flynn's stealing of bases was one
of the features, and he had his eye on the
ball at all times.
Frank Cunningham labored zealously
to win the game, but the lead was too
great to be overcome.
Frank Kelly went up in the air in the
first. He came down in the second, and
later got out altogether.
+. Curran's two-base hit was corker,
and the speed exhibited by the little fat
man was a surprise to all.
Robert Milligan at first and Ed Mackey
on third played well, and should have
been so placed before play was called.
Schneider at short and Cuneo behind
the bat took care of everything that came
their way. They were greatly elated
over the result.
Gus Weber says the two teams contain
material that would make a first-class
team, and had he a franchise he would
sign no others.
The large crowd was evenly divided
between the opposing teams, and the
roofing" surpassed Anything witnessed
at the ball park this season.
The grand staud contained many of
the handsomest young ladies in the city,
and that is the real reason why some of
the young men could not get an eye on
the ball.
Al Schrieber would be good man for
big team. His fielding was faultless
and base running fast, but his bag cutting
resulted in an out and the loss of run to
the Mackin Club.
Ryan on first and Weber on third
felded their positions admirably. Their
throwing across the diamond, however,
resulted in helping their opponents to
increase their score.
Johnny Gleason, of the Associated
Press, took turn behind the bat for the
Mackins, as did also Theo Weddens.
Nothing could get past Johnny. He said
it was fine opportunity to develop some
of the reserve men on his side.

The friends of Mr.. Lawrence WEIGH, of
this city, who went to Port Rico with the
First Regiment, Kentucky Volunteers,
have for some time been very anxious
concerning him. They had heard moth
ing from him only that he was very sick,
and had been shipped back to this coun-

the time of his arrival and condition, but
all in vain. All trace of him was lost,
and many came to the conclusion that he
had died while en- route home and had
been buried or filled a watery grave
Mr.. Martin Minogue, his brother-in-law,
has been unceasing in his efforts 10 ascer-
tain the fate of Mr.. WEIGH, and his labors
were pleasantly rewarded last Wednesday

HELP THE SOLDIER BOYS.

Elsewhere will be found notice of
a meeting Mt the courthouse tonight
for the purpose OF organizing
branch Of the Red Cross Society In
Elko. Other towns of the State have
taken this work inahanG and Elxo
should not lag behind. The boys
who have gone from our midst are in
need of articles Of comfort that the
government does not supply. Band
ages for use in the hospitals and on
the field. buttons, needles and hun
dred other things are needed that
must be supplied by the loving
hands at homo. All these aid the
soldier OF the tented field to while
away the time and nerve his arms to
strike heavier blow in defense of
the honor and dignity OF the flag.
They will nerve him to deeds of valor
on the bloody field and stimulate his
efforts to drive from the western hem
isphere the naughty Spanish foe.
they will also convince him that low
ing hearts and willing hands are pro-
vidIng for him in his time of need.
Thus far Elko county has sent to
the front thirty eight of its bravest
and best young mer. They have
gone forth, il need be, to offer their
lives on the altar of their country
that down trndden, oppressed peo-
pie might enjoy the blessings of that
liberty they breathed with their first
breath.
Everyone of these boys is some
mothers son, but not all of them can
now claim d mothers love and pray
ers. While the mothers of some of
them will provide all things neces.
! sary for their boys.others will be neg
lected and suffer unless an organ
lied effort is made to supply their
needs. 1t is for this purpose that the
good ladies of Elko have called this
meeting tonight.
Branches of the Red Cross should
not only be organized in Elko, but in
Tuscarora, Wells, Deeth and in every
section Of the State and county where
soldier boy claims his home. The
people Of Elko county will not surely
see the life blood of one of our boys
slowly ooze out on the field of bat
tie for the want Of bandage with
which to bind up his wounds. Will
ing hands will ply the needle aud
loving hearts will cheer the work il
the means are provided.
The people of Elko should I'LL the
courthouse tonight and show by their
presence that their hearts are with
the ladies upon whom this work must
fall. They need your cooperation
and small measure Of your means
in this noble work, Give OF both
cheerfully and perhaps some Of our
soldier boys, bleeding and dying on
the battlefield, may be restored to
life by the application Of bandage
and come home to bless you for the
little you have done.
