Benevolent Society Sends Help.

Benevolent Society Sends Help.
The colony at Smiths Valley is con
siderably thinned out with the depar-
ture of thirty four of its people yester-
day. Those remaining have secured the
stock OF the corporation, and as the
number is Comparatively few may have
better chance TO dig living out OF
the Wymore lands than larger number
would have
The Eureka Benevolent Society o
San Francisco, Jewish organization,
instructed NJ. Sam Platt of Carson to
see that they received food and trans
portation, and have furnished assistance
in other ways.
The colony has been in hard straights
ever since the defalcation of their funds,
and with hard winter coming ON the
majority concluded to leave for San
Francisco, where they can make living
rather than remain in Nevada and exist
on charity. The results of their work
shows that t ey are energetic, and few
Nevadans would have attempted the
building of the ditch and tunnel they
finished under the most trying circum-
stances.
Mr.. Shepiro, formerly Vice President
of the corporation was engaged in the
butcher business in San Francisco,
which he sold and put bis all in the en-
terprise.
One hundred and fifty dollars ON an
average was invested by the eighteen
members in cash besides their labor, for
which they got nothing When war
rant was wanted for Swartz and Bell the
Dayton officials told them they would
have to get it in Douglas county as their
lands claimed not to belong to Lyon.
An application to the Douglas officials
resulted in about the same answer, and
the colonists began to think they were
being imposed on.
The colony is now re-organized. and
the officers are as iollows: Abe Freid-
man, President; J. Kiemer, Vice Presi-
dent; Ephriam Friedman, Treasurer:
Sam Bergstein, Secretary; A. Blame, A.
]. Wymore, Trustees. One hundred and
fifty acres of sage brush land is now
cleared and broke for cultivation and
a crop will be raised next winter, il the
water supply does not fail.

Mrs. Elizabeth s. Newcomb, who died
recently at her home in Maiden, Mass,
was in many respects remarkable wo-
man. She was one Of the few women
that mastered the intricacies of naviga-
ton and was able to navigate ono OF
the old time clipper ships across the
ocean when her husband was too i'll to
do 10 himself. She made great many
voyages with him, he being one OF the
old line of sea captains that has passed
away with the advent of ocean steam
ers. With him she crossed the Atlantic
IA times and saw greater part OF the
world. Her eldest son, Lieutenant Frank
II. Newcomb of the United States rev.
enue cutter service, was the hero OF the
battle of Cardenas on May II last. lie
was IN command of the Hudson, which
towed tho gunboat Winslow out OF the

batteries, for which signal act of BRAY
cry he has received the thanks of con

As the subject is being agitated that
possibly the president of the United
States will confer some insignia upon
the women nurses who served in the
Spanish American war. it is Of interest
to know that in England there is a
decoration known as the Royal Red
Cross. 1t consists of "a cross of enameled
crimson, edged with gold, having on
the arms the words, Faith, Hope.
Charity with the date of the institu-
tion. On the reverse side are the royal
and imperial cipher and crown. The
cross is attached to dark blue ribbon,
edged red. tied in bow and worn on
the left shoulder. This order is bestowed
by the sovereign on any woman or nurs-
ing sister recommended to her by the
secretary of state for special exertions
and devotion to the sick and wounded
sailors and soldiers.

Says Stewart is Beaten.
Francis G.. Newlands Says He is
Candidate for u s.. Senator.

Francis G. Newlands was interviewed
by the Silver State at Winnemuca as to
the senatorial question. He said:
Il had some idea of Offering myself as
a candidate for senator prior to the
State convention, but before coming TO
a conclusion | proposed going through
the State and ascertain the sentiment
as was unwilling to do anything which
would disrupt the silver organization.
Illness prevented and / concluded in the
in the interest of harmony to run for
Congress and was nominated by the
Silver party on platform which indors.
! Stewart.
"As to the senatorial contest, it was
not conducted on straight party lines.
The political forces divided themselves
into Stewart and anti-Stewart and the
lines were drawn everywhere on this
issne. The Stewart forces were beaten
and Stewart has lost the legislature.
The anti-Stewart forces have not de-
clared themselves in favor of any man
and my name is mentioned as one upon
whom all can unite. The question is
whether / can honorably be a candidate
under the circumstances. My opinion
is that can and l have concluded to
announce myself a. a candidate.
80 far as my duty to support Stewart
was concerned it was fully performed
up to the day Of election. The people
of the State then declared against Stew

reversing their decision.

at the recent election that they consider |

electing an anti-Stewart legislature that
they do not want him to longer repre-

May Lose Their Seats.
Four Members Elect Fail to File
Their Statement In Compile
ance With the Statutes.

The Reno Journal says Flanagan
senator-elect from Washoe county, II
Martin, senator-elect from Douglas, Ged
ney, assemblyman from Elko, and Len
Allen, assemblyman from Churchill, com
pose the quartette of members elect on
the legislative ticket who failed to file
statements of their campaign expenses
within the time specified in the Purity ol
Election law, section of which reads
IF a candidate for public Office refuses
or neglects to file statement prescribed
by Section 3 OF this Act, no certificate ol
election shall be issued to him; neither
shall any official bond presented or offer
ed by him be approved, etc"
Gedney telegraphed his statement from
Elko on tho 23d, but for some reason il
was not filed until the following day.
Martin filed his with the clerk OF his
county, but might as well have filed it
with the justice of the peace of his town
ship. He, as did Lem Allen, filed after
the prescribed date their statements with
the secretary OF state Flanagan has
filed no statement at all.
As to the political complexion Of the
delinquents: Flanagan is Republican;
Martin an Independent; Gedney a
strsightout Democrat and Lem Allen a
Silver Party man. Allen has served sew
eral terms in the Assembly and it is hard
to conceive how he could have been SO
neglectful, with 80 much experience in
that line.
Doubtless each will demand his seat
in the house to which he was elected, and
each will decide upon the claims of the
applicants for admission to its respective
body. As there appears to be no differ
ence in the claims Of the several delin-
quents it seems probable, and certainly
just, that all should be admitted or re-
jected.

with their wings folded closely over

The ranchers below Washoe City are
taking precautions against dry year in
the future. They have force of thirty
men at work digging canal between
Washoe Lake proper and the lower lake
The dam at the lower lake will be closed
as soon as the ditch is finished and the
water will be stored until next Summer
A headgate is being put in at the en-
trance of the canal at the big lake. BY
digging this canal the main lake can be
lowered two feet below the present level
This makes Washoe Lake one of the
largest and best storage reservoirs in the
