The weather.

After blowing great guns for about .
week the wind died away Monday night
and 9 good rsinstorm. which lasted about
five hours. cleared up the atmosphere in
splendid shape. The rain was particularly
welcome. as the fine alkali dust had been
finding It's way through the closest win
dows. and Was becoming exceedingly irri-
tating and dissgreesble. The storm seems
to have been general over the coast, and
was especially heavy in some parts Of Cal

A short History of Inc silver Party
Candidate for state Treasurer.
From the Virginia City Report Of Sept. 2o.l
In selecting Dave Ryan for the position
OF State Treasurer OF Nevada the Silver
Party Convention chose one Of the very
few men In the State who could be de-
pended upon 10 administer that respon-
sible Office efficiently and with credit both
to the State and lite officer. A mans past
record Is the only safe guarantee Of his
future performances and the two terms
which he has filed the Office Of County
CLERK and Treasurer Of Storey give . tes-
timonial Of his honesty and ability that
cannot be improved upon.
Mr.. Ryan was born In New York. but
has resided on the Pacific Coast from boy.
hood up. and received his education In the
public schools and business colleges Of
California. Leaving school he became
city collector and assistant bookkeeper In
the Wholesale grocery house Of MilIiken
Bros. Of San Francisco. Forced by III
health to seek employment elsewhere. he
resigned that position and came to Neva-
do. where he has made his home for the
past twenty years. filling many rsspon.
sibls positions. until he finally engaged In
business for himself in 1886, when he en-
tered the stock brokerage business with
A.. j. Mcdonnell, which business they
still continue both In Virgins City and
San Francisco. Mr.. Ryan is also . mem.
Der OF the merchandise firm Of Ryan 4

owes his business success 10 his own en-
ergy. perseverance, and c~apability.
