E. L. WILLIAMS.

In connection with the Republican
rally that occurred last evening at Music
Hall we noticed among others our next
District Attorney, overconspicuous as to
the welcomes cheerfully extended to him
on all sides. Nr. L. L. Williams is in
every respect an ~unassuming gentlemen
who has proven his fitness for the office
to which he aepires, by serving with
credit to the county of Humboldt In n
like capacity. Some years ago, while at
Winnemucca he earned the enconiuns
from the right thinking and law abiding
community irrespective of party. In
short, his record for his uprightness and
impartialty in the past has been unas-
sailable, and what is more, he commands
the respect of all who know him in
Washoe county for his answering fealty
to the Republican party, justly reason
ing that a change of politics-for Office
only-is not the proper way to catch
votes. From current reports, which we
have no reason to doubt, Mr.. Williams
has already the inside track of Reno
township. We bespeak for him a hearty
support on the parto Of Wadsworth voters.

JUST the Man.

E. T. Lothrop, better known as "Ike"
will be the next Sheriff OF this county
as sure as night follows day. He will
poll nearly a solid vote of Wadsworth,
where he has resided for years. What
better recommendation or endorsement
could be given him than that? He is
honest, cabable and brave, the essential
characteristics which any man should
be possessed of who aspires to be Sheriff
of any county. Vote for Ike Lothrop
and have the satisfaction OF knowing
that you done your duty towards your
self and your neighbor.-Reno Gazette.

Distinguished Visitors.

The distinguished visitors compris-
ing a majority of the Republican candi-
dates for State offices, who made this
town a brief visit, departing on their
westward way this morning deserve
more than a passing notice. First, it
must be said that the members of the
Republican State Convention exercised
rare judgment in the selection of men to
carry the banner. AS citizens, notwith-
standing their adherence to the doctrines
of Republicanism, most everyone of
them has a wide acquaintance through
out the State, and several of them have,
unquestionably, a strong personal follow
ing.-Elko Argonaut.

Halloween.

A large number OF Wadsworth's soci-
ETY. people were present at the Hal
loween party at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. H. Griswold Monday evening.
The residence was thrown entirely open
and the many guests interested them
selves in games, and various other amuse-
ments. The games were veryN amusing
and caused a great deal of laughter.
The refreshments served we're delici-
GUS in the pastry line, with fragrant
Mocho and choice fruit and nuts from
California tropics, and all feasted hearth
ly of the bountiful supply.
The instrumental solos by Mrs. E. A.
Jackman and Miss Susie Treadway were
beautiful selections. The whistling solo
by Miss Pearl Pike was very good indeed.
Miss Pike has considerable talent in the
art of whistling. Mrs. ]. A. Goldie and
Miss Francis Blivan sang solos and
captured very favorable mention. They
have sweet voices. The vocal solos of
Fred Geogg and A. H. Griswold were
we'll rendered and received applause as
did also the cornet solo by Mr.. Girls
void. A few college songs were enjoyed
by all after which they congratulated
the clever host and hostess and departed
for their respective homes.

For County Commissioner.

7. X. Hymers. the Republican candi-
date for County Commissioner, long
term, is a man in every way fitted for
that responsible Office. He has held
that position for along term of years
and knows the business Of the office as
well or better than any man in the
county. A vote for Tom Hymers is a
vote for the economical and just admin
istration of the county's funds, a vote
for good roads and well-kept bridges.
Don't throw your vote away by casting
it for another man, for Tom Hymers is
sure of an election.

\eoLvING THE FUTURE WEI,
FARE OF THE CONTINENT.
This II What Il Now Being Done on
the Fertile Prairies Of
Western Canada.

The rapid progress that is being made
in the settlement of the fertile prairies
Of western Canada is leading to the in
vestigation of it's resources by those
interested in having provision made for
those living in the crowded east, for
those who have been struggling for
years on impoverished farms, for the
renter who is unable any longer to bear
up under the strain imposed by the
landlord, and for the farmer who un.
able to purchase farms for his sons in
his own neighborhood has to look
around for lower priced lands. The in.
vestigation shows that it is impossible
to meet these conditions successfully
outside of western Canada. Already
millions of bushels of wheat are being
grown there each year, while aslmany
as $4,000 head of cattle were shipped
out this year. A representative of the
Germania, Milwaukee, one Of the lead
ing German papers in the United
States, recently made trip through
Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta an6
Saskatchewan, where lie the free gov
eminent lands of western Canada, anc
in future issue will appear extracts
from fiattering letters contributed tc
the Germania and other papers by theil
special correspondents.
AS an inducement for immigrants te
make their homes in Canada, the Cana
dian government offers 100 acres o:
land free of cost to each settler. and in
formation can be had of agents of thu
government.

Cats and Shellfish.

"Did you ever notice the cats about
the oyster stands of the city," asked a
gentleman who takes an interest in
zoology. "They are invariably as fat
as butter. That is because they get
plenty of shellfsh to e., and, by the
way, the fondness of cats for that kind
of diet is mystery which I'd like to
hear some evolutionist explain. A cat
will go crazy over shrimp, and it is all
the same whether it's city cat or a
kayseed cat that never saw any water
except in cistern. It's taste born in
them, like their fear of dogs, and the
question is, how the mischief did they
acquire it? According to the evolution
theory, such traits are inherited and
traceable to conditions away back to-
ward the beginning of things. That
would seem to indicate that the primal
cat was a fisher, but how is one to rec
oncile the idea with their instructive
adherence of the tribe for water?
Their craving for shellfish is so pro-
nouuced that there must be an excel
lent reason behind it, and, altogether, it
is quite pretty problem for SOM sa-
want. 1t is too hard for men. O.

that similarity occurred to me. Mex
my glance wandered to his long finge1
nails, and their grewsome points, ant
Bantinni popped into my head again
Then what should enter my mind but
that it was Kola himself who had Otter
used that foreign idiom, contained in
the letter to Miss Huntington. And now
we know that Kola is a hypnotist of rare
ability, and SO is Bantinni."
An exclamation of wonder escaped
the doctors lips.
"Do you really think Kola and Ban
tinni are identical?"
ooh, no." laughed the detective. III
I did should act at once. The similari
ties are there, but they may mean moth
ing at ALL"
At this juncture the door opened, and
Sergt. Denham entered. His whole
manner was that of a man who had sud.
denly met with great disappointment
Good morning, Capt. Hendricks, u
said he, respectfully, and he made a
careless sign of greeting to DR.. Lamp
kin.
"Oh, it's Capt. Hendricks, eh?" said
the detective, lightly. What has come
over the spirit of your dream, my boy?''
The sergeant sat down awkwardly.
A flush was rising in his cheeks.
II have come to beg for advice" he
said. "As you are not concerned in the
Caruthers affair, thought you might
be willing to give me pointer. You
see, the chief trusted the whole business
to me, and I was so confident of the re-
liability of certain information
had"
"In the shape of a letter from Gle
low?" broke in Hendricks, smiling
broadly.
"Yes,'' admitted the sergeant, in as
tonishment. "How did you know?"
"a letter that every known expert
declared was no forgery"
Eyes"
"Well, go on. I'm listening"
For moment the young officer hung
his head in embarrassment, then he
pulled himself together and concluded:
But in following the letter up we met
with nothing but failure. Mr.. Hen
bricks, am at the end ofmy rope, and it
really looks as if 1 am going to be set
back. Capt. McRae is furious at me-"
''Ah, that would be too bad!" said
Hendricks, with touch of genuine SYM
patty in his voice. "You have the in
gradients of success in your makeup,
and, above all, you have enthusiasm,
which, when IT is well curbed, is the
main thing. Your egotism will rub off.
1 see exactly how the land lies, and I
want to help you. In fact, I will, if you
will join me-"
"I'll do anything in Gods world you
suggest, Mr.. Hendricks" said the SER
geant, warmly, . hopeful note coming
into his voinA.

CHAPTER XVIII.-CONTINUED.

Gielow did not finch as he thrust the
knife blade into his wrist. Compared
to the agony of his whole being, the
slight pricking sensation was nothing.
Then, when the blood had flowed out
and stood in big drop on his left wrist,
he began to write his message with the
knife blade. 1t was difficult work even
for skillful artist, for his hand shook
as if with ague, and his strength was al
most gone. Here is what he wrote,
economizing in words, for his space was
limited:
Innocent. Confined by c. Bantinni I
know not where. Send help. Starving.
Take to police. ARTHUR G1ELOW."
Then, rolling the cuff tightly and
tying it with the thread, he hurriedly
pushed it into the crack. He was
afraid the couple would rise and walk
on. According to his calculations the
roll lodged just beyond the reach of'his
fingers and then he set about to COM
plete his operation.
He tore his handkerchief into shreds
and tying the ends together he made
long string. Then holding pieces of
straw to his hand he tightly wrapped
them with the strings till he had con-
structed rod of straw about four feet
in length. With this, after many fail
ures, he finally pushed the cuff through
the crevice. He saw it fall from the
rock, strike something and leap into the
sunlit space. For an instant it was
lost to sight, and then he saw it roll
into the roadway about 20 feet from the
pair on the bench. They happened to
be gazing into each others eyes and did
not see it. Then a carriage, the driver
of which wore high hat and blue
coat with brass buttons, whirled past.
The hoofs of the horses knocked the
blood-stained messenger out of Gielow's
sight.
His heart sank within him. Trem-
bling1y he took off his remaining cuff,
but the blood drop had become smeared
and dry on his wrist, and his right
hand shook pitifully.
cts no USE" he said, with a groan.
Again he peered through the crevice.
The sun seemed to be going down. The
lovers had risen, and, arm in arm, were
strolling away. For a few moments
Gielow lay motionless on the straw,
then he tried to replace the wedge of
stone to hide the opening from Ban
tinni, but he was SO weak that it fell
from his nerveless fingers.
All at once it grew dark about him.
He felt as if he were being tossed on the
bosom of an angry sea.
Twenty-four hours later there was
hurried step outside. The door opened
and Count Bantinni came in, holding a
lantern over his head. He brought pen,
ink, pad of paper and an envelope.
The darkness outside and the shine of
his lantern prevented his seeing the
crack in the rock.
Putting the lantern down by the ar
fist, he shook him violently.
"Wake up" he said, gruffiy. II want
you to write. Write! Write, say!"
But Gielow did not stir.
The count swore sullenly and lifted
the lantern so that its rays fell across
the prisoners face. He thrust his fin
gers into the bosom OF Gielow's shirt.
Breathing, but that is ALL" he NUT
tered. "Ah!" as his eyes noted the pen
knife and the bloody wrist, che wanted
to puncture a vein and get it over, but
was too cowardly. Well, you are going
fast enough, my boy. can do without
your penmanxhip."
