Says writer in the Manchester
Guardian: "A lady of my acquaint-
ance who is a proprietress in County
Galway is in the habit of receiving her
own rents. One day. when tenant
farmer had pleaded long and unsuc-
eessfully for an abatement. he exclaim-
ed. as he handed over the money:
F" Well, my lady, all can say is that
if | had my time over again, it's not a
tenant farmer I'd be. I'd follow one of
the learn'd professions
THE proprietress gently replied that
even in the learned professions there
were losses as well as gains, and, per-
haps, he would have found professional
life as precarious as farming.
"tAh, my lady, but how can that be?'
replied the son of ST Patrick. If
you're a lawyer-win or lose, you're
pair. If you're doctor-kill or cure,
you're paid. If you're priest-heaven
or hell, you're paid.

An English traveller, coming TO Ta-
breez. town near the boundary be-
tween Persia and Georgia, had great
difficulty in finding lodging for the
night. A German merchant of the
place came to his help, and it was set
tied that he should take up his abode
with HISTORIAN Christian who had
been employed as dragoman by several
embassies going to Teheran. and who
was said to speak English. The host's
manner of introducing himself was
amusing You come with me, all
right You know me? Lazarus; find

DIED.
MARLETT-At North Fork, Elko
county, Nevada, October 30. 1898,
Miss Emily q. Marlett, a native Of
Canada, aged abont % years.


The people Of the town were sor-
row stricken this morning on learning
that Miss Emily Mnrlctt had died
Sunday at the residence OF her sister,
Mrs. james Holland, on North Fork.
The sad news came rs Il sudden shock
US but few knew that she was not in
good health.
Miss Marlett arrived in Elko about
two years ago from Milwaukee and
shortly after her arrival secured the
position Of stcnOgrapher and type
writer for the T.. II. NJ. Co. She
worked at the store continuously
until abunt ten days no when she
was given II vacation and went to her
sisters At North Fork. Though all.
ing for some time none thought that
the grim messenger wurld so soon
claim her for hie own.
She was taken worse yesterday
morning and Il messenger was sent 10
Mr.. Wcilnnd's and DIR. Drake OF TIL +.
carora was tclcphoned for, bnt before
he could reach her bedside, her pure
spirit had left its tenement OF clay
md was ut rest Oh the other side.
Miss Marlett wns n genial lady and
her u%nassuming ways made her u
host OF friends who arc grief stricken
at her untimely death. Her remains
were Brought to ElkO last night and
will be held for adviccs from her
Eastern home.
The INDEPENDENT extends it's sim
ccrcst sympnthics to the relatives
whose hearts are crushed by tho sad
denth OF their loved n May they
receive consolation from Him who
alone can heal the bruised heart.

Ought to be defeated.

The present management Of tie
Orphans Home has been fruitful
with scandal. In December, 1895,
complaint was made 10 the Board by
the teacher, Miss Moore. that Mr..
Beebe, the Superintendent. was in
citing INSTRUMENTATION in the school
and circulating petitions am ing the
children asking for the discharge OF
the teachers, aud that he had secured
II key to her bedroom, opened her
trunk and taken private letters there
FROM.
An investigation was had und We
are informed by II member q! the
Board that Mr.. Beebe admitted the
latter charge, giving rs his reason for
entering Miss Moore's room and
opening her trunk that he suspected
her Of stealing Il certain article Of hIs
wife's undertaking. Mr.. Beebe did
not find the stolen underclothing IN
Miss Moore's trunk, but he found
some letters, her private property,
which he took and still holds.
Surveyor-General Pratt in u letter
to Mr.. Beebe, dated Jan. 6, 1896. SAYS:
at is my belief that the teachers are
entitled to comfortable quarters, and,
like all ladies, to the privacy of their
bedrooms il they &c desire; and that
any effort Oh your part to gam access
to such rooms without their consent
ID neither proper nor commendable."
Messrs Cutting and Westeriield
found nothing in Mr.. Beebee's con-
duct to censure. The mere act OF his
entering Miss Moore's room and taxi
ing FROM her trunk private letters
should have caused his removal.
Mr.. Cutting, m OF the men respon-
sible for the condition OF affairs at
the Home, is d candidate for re cleo
ton and declares TINT, il successful,
MIR. Beebee will retain his position.
III the voters Of Nevada consider Mr..
Beebee n proper person to conduct
the Orphans Home they should vote
for Mr. Cutting. II they think other.
wise. they should cast their votes for |
Orvia Ring. Mr.. Cutting ought TO be
defeated and a change made in the
management OF the Orphans Home.

STAND by YOUR TICKET.

There is one thing the Democracy
OF Nevada should think about before
casting their ballots ON the 9Th OF
November. The condition OF the
party and the sacrifices that the can
didates on the State ticket have made
to perpetuatc the party and keep the
organization together should receive
the serious consideration OF every
Democrat i'll Nevada and they should
think well before casting their ballots
against any man whose name appears
on that ticket. The candidates for
the more important Offices have spent
their money and given their time to
II cause and they should receive the
solid support of those who believe in
the great principles represented by
Bryan. The other candidates through
Loyalty TO the party have permitted
their rames to be used in order that
a ticket representing Democratic
principles might be presented to the
voters Of this State. They should also
receive their party support. In point
OF ability and integrity, honesty and
a knowledge OF State affairs the can.
didates oil the Democratic State
ticket are the peers of those on the
opposition tickets. From Governor
down they are all bond,Jidc residents
and taxpayers Of the State. There is
not n nonresident or carpetbaggcr
among them.
Democrats should think about
these things, and, laying aside NIL
petty j%calousies md personal spites
should cast their votes for tie men
who represent their principles. These
men did not seek nominations. They
simply answered the call OF their
party in its time of need aud allowed
their IN to he used in order that
the organization might he kept to-
Rciher for the great contest OF 1900
when the Nevada Democracy will
march with unbroken ranks under the
leadership Of the matchless Bryan.
Stand by them, Democrats, and cast
your ballots for them next Tuesday.
Do not be deceived by the silvery
songs OF your adversaries and waste
your strength on local organizations,
but march solidly to the polls and
cast your ballots for tho men who are
fighting for your interests. Uphold
them as they are upholding the prin.
ciplcs of your party.
