NO POLITICIANS.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat in
referring to the selection OF tho com.
znanders Of the volunteer army, gives
che following sage advice:
In selecting officers for important
commands in the militia and volun-
4, teers IN the present war, the govern
ment has several examples which
r .ssrzr9 "a r AID the wars OF the
future will be short, and previous
training for officers will be the
price OF victory. The men chosen
to head regiments, brigades and
1 divisions in the volunteer forces
which are about to be raised should
4 be soldiers end not agitators. politi-
clans or party leaders.
N The United States had sufficient ex-
perience in conducting political" war
IN the struggle between the States. 1t
was a costly experience. too. and the
administration should heed the voice
OF history in this respect at all events
In cases where men will have 50 much
responsibility and so many lives wild
be placed in their care, merit and ability
should be the only considerations.
There are number OF ambitious per
sons who are endowed with sufficiently
enlarged craniums to cause them to
tina CINE they could fiji any Office from
4 colonel up to commander-in-chief with
@eclat and success. Fortunately. how
ever, there are enough OF the veterans
10 fla the important places. These men
I nave been tested. If the callow young
ster,s who have such an excellent opin-
don OF their own qualifications really
banker after high military positions.
sSaet them work their way up from the
ranks II the STUFF Is in them they
seeR;N be given an opportunity to show
s she war lasts as long as many per
4 ink it will.

party was given at the Odeon Hall

considered by the leaders of the 400
the SWEETEST event of the season.
Dancing was INDUCED in, games
played, and a general good time had

attended brought contributions of

Water Needed.

There is nothing, outside of work,
that the people Of Dayton need
quite SO badly as they do better
water system. The way things now
stand the town is short of water in
the Summer because the mills take
it all, and has no water in the Win
ter because the ditch is frozen up.
For the past month there has not
been particle of water in the logs,
and should a fire have broken out
the town would have been swept
away, as the fire could not have been
checked until it burnt itself out.
What is really needed here is a
water-works that has some force to
it; then fire hydrants could be put
in about the town and the engine
done away with. With this kind
of system the fire company would
only have to have a hose cart and
extra hose. Two or more streams
could be put on blaze and it could
be squelched in short order. Our
little town has lost enough property
by fires in the past few years to
have covered the cost of putting up
and maintaining good water
works. There is really so little pro-
lection from fire now that insurance
rates are very high, and much prop
erty is not insured, so that when a
fire does come it means a total loss
to the owner of the property. This
water-works question should be
looked into by our people to see if,
by some means, the town cannot be
supplied regularly with good force
of water. 1t would pay the town to
incorporate, levy water tax and
put up good water-works.

Frozen TO Death.

C. S. kellogg, an old resident of
Churchill county, and about 76
years old, was found frozen to death
Tuesday, short distance from his
cabin, in the Silver Hill range of
mountains, in Churchill county.
The old gentleman had been doing
prospecting work on a claim and
started home, but was overtaken by
a snow-storm and presumably lost
his way and he was, when found,
frozen stiff.
Mr.. Kellog built the first quartz
mill ever put up irf Gold Canyon,
where Silver City now stands, and
could have been living in brown
stone front to-day if he had sold out
years ago He had been offered large
sums for his prospects several times.

1t is the fashionable thing now
for the Nevada papers to daily or
weekly speculate in politics. From
all accounts there are plenty of can
eidates, and good many states
already made up. A slate that can
be made up now and go througH the
convention next Fall, without being
pretty badly disfgured, will be a
dandy, We imagine that all this
newspaper talk about candidates
for this, that and the other position,
is but beating up game. There
is plenty of time to smash dozen
or more states before the Conven-
tons meet.

TIL. Ruined California Grape Crop.

The partial loss OF the grape crep this year,
caused by the heavy rains, is estimated to ex-
coed sl0O0,000. Farmers and vineyards all
over the northern part OF the State have suf-
fered, While this is true, it is equally a fact
that lost and failing strength may be restored
by the persistent, systematic of the great

The Chinatown Fire.

About half past 9 o'clock Tuesday
night there was an alarm of fire,
and those who rushed from their
homes saw at a glance that the fire
was in Chinatown, as huge volume
of smoke was rising to the sky. Get
ting closer to the scene it was found
that the Chinese Joss House was
all in flames on the inside. The hose
boys were promptly on hand and so
was the engine, which was run upon
the ice in the river, and a hole made
in the ice to obtain water But the
engine failed to work; the valves
were frozen, or something was the
matter so that water was not in the
hose until the house had burned to
the ground. A bucket brigade saved
the surrounding sheds, but only the
lot now remains where the Joss
House stood. There is hardly a
doubt that the fire was caused by
an incendiary, as the first one who
gave the alarm says the house was
on fire in ali parts on the inside at
once. Some years ago this old Joss
House was turned around because
the Joss died, and it is now stated
that the house was fired by the
Cinnamon themselves, because their
Joss had failed to bring good times
for them during the past year.
However this may be not China
man in the place seems to care
about the loss, and none of them
worked very hard to put out the
blaze.
