Doesn't This Jar You?

In last nights News was a very funny
card in which the Legislative nominees
on the Republican ticket announce that
they are against Stewart because he is not
a bona fide resident. He was a bona fde

ticket saw the light of day and has paid
for improvements in Carson than
the whole Republican Legislative ticket
combined.
Their entire ticket pays no realty taxes
and the four men who sign the card pay
on but 500 of personal property in the

EEOuT DAVE RYAN.
A Short History of the Silver
Party Candidate for State
Treasurer,
fSdSurer

In selecting Dave Ryan for the position
of State Treasurer Of Nevada, the Silver
party Contention chose II of the very
few men in the State who could be de-
pended upon to administer that respon-
.sible office efficiently and with credit
both tc the State and its officer. a mans
past record is the only safe guarantee Of
his future performances and the two
terms during which he has filled the Of
flee of County Clerk and Treasurer of
Storey give q testimonial 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
b0yhOod mp, and received his education
in the public schools and business col
leges of California. Leaving school he
became city collector and assistant book
keeper in the Wholesale grocery house of
Milliken Bros. of San Francisco. Forced
by i'll health to seek employment else
where he resigned that position aud came
Nevada. where he has made his home for
the past twenty years, filling many re-
spOnsible positions, until he finally en-
gagged in business for himself in 1896.
when he entered the stock brokerage
business with A. J. Mcdonnell, which
business they still continue both in Viz
ginia City and San Francisco. Mr.. Ryan
is also a member of the merchandise firm
of Ryan & Stenson of Virginia and Ne
vada City. He owes his. business sue
cess to his own energy. perseverance and
capability.
Four years ago he was chosen to fill
the responsible office of County Treasur-
er. a duty he so well performed that he
received a denomination at the hands of
his party two years ago and received a
testimonial of the confidence and regard
Of the public in the shape of a reelection.
During his incumbency of that office he
has done many acts of transformations
charity and has in innumerable cases
paid the Delinquent taxes of unfortunate
hOuSeholders.
Four years ago when not in office he
cashed between $1,000 and $1,000 worth of
county script, issued to pay the judges
and clerks of election, the treasury being
empty. By doing so be Kept some war
rant shaver from making some S400 or
$500, but he rendered a material service
to the men who needed 1t, and to do so
was willing to wait months for the re-
turn of his money when the taxes came
in.
Mr.. Ryan's chief characteristics during
his career in public life have been his
unimpeachable integrity and his I'M
swerving fidelity to his word. His abil-
ity as an expert accountant, which safely
guards him against possible mistakes or
malfeasance or the part of a subordinate
and his own reputation for strict and
unimpeachable honesty, both as a county
official and a business man, should en-
title him to a majority of the votes of the
taxpayers of the State at the November
election for the Office of State Treasurer

woman's room and the other said it was kicked in by the other. A little girl who was present agreed with both women as to the time of night, but she said she heard Officer Molloy refuse to accept money. All three, however, were positive as to the time. Two had noticed the clock and the other had heard it strike. The off, cers had testified that they went to the house to make the arrest about 9 o'clock. Among the witnesses in support of tkis statemunt was little girl who was returning from the s. F. P. & F. depot. She didn't know quite what time it was, but she knew that the northbound train had not gone out yet.
 A half dozen witnesses were brought in who testified to having seen the officers on Washington street and else where from between II and 12 o'clock until the next morning.
 A great deal more testimony was taken than was necessary, but steno- graphic notes of still more will be added today and the whole will be transcribed and presented to the dis trict attorney, who will be asked to direct a warrant for the arrest of Maria Little and Rebecca Wall on charge of perjury. The recorder made statement that at the close of the examination the night before he felt convinced that the accusation had been entirely disproved. It will be remembered that the officers were not really under investigation at all and that the subject came up only upon the statement of Mrs. Little's attor- ney that the city had the money in its possession for the payment of her fine for prostitution to which she had pleaded guilty. The subject was kept in the court, though, at the instance of Officer Molloy after the recorder had announced that there was no need of continuing the matter any further.

NINE PEOPLE RESCUED.
Narrow Escape of Guests From the
 Burning Lewis Hotel.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 9.-Nine people were rescued by the fire de- partment early this morning from the Lewis European hotel at the corner of Fourth and Wells streets.
 Shortly before o'clock fire was discovered on the second floor of the hotel There were only a few guests in the house, which quickly filled with smoke. This frightened the inmates and there was a rush for the windows The smoke and the cries of the in mates frightened George Smith, the barkeeper of the hotel, who was asleep on the third floor, and he jumped and was severely injured.
 Two men and two women who were on the second floor were taken down by the firemen, and John Lewis, the proprietor of the house, and his wife and child, who were on the third floor, were rescued the same way. The other guests escaped by means of a back stairway.
 The total damage done by the fire will not exceed s2,5OO. It is fully cov- cred by insurance.

AN INDIGENOUS CLUE.
One Which Developed Itself Under the
 Watchfulness of Councilman Dyer.

Councilman Dyer has just finished a job of detective work, that Sherlock Holmes or LeCocq would have turned from in despair. Because a detective cannot fine a clue at first he does not necessarily regard the case as hope less, for a clue may be found. But when he has satisfied himself that the clue is non-existeEt, there's no use fooling with the matter any further
 Councilman Dyer has lot of highly prized chickens. One morning he missed several of them. but as there were neither tracks nor feathers any where about, there was plainly no clue. But Councilman Dyer deduced as fol- lows: The chickens were rot taken by an animal, for in that case there would have been squalls and feathers; therefore, the thief must have been human. He evidently did not seal the chickens to put in poultry show, for that would have led to detection. to eat
 Now here is where the coun- cilman's deductive process excelled those of all his predecessors: Those chickens were in such excellent con- dition for the table that MT. Dyer knew that whoever ate them would begin to take on flesh. Since then he has kbpt an eye on several neighbor ing families. He was prepared to pro- claim the thief to be a member of a the earliest. He was singularly han dicapped in his observation by the cir constance that two families began about the same time to develop fat ness in equal degrees. He is conf dent there was no collusion between these households in the raid upon his chicken pen. One was guilty and the other innocent. The fattening of the innocent family just at that particular time was nothing more than unfor- tunate coincidence. The fattening of the guilty family must in the end be more marked and longer continued, and the crime will out.
 So here is a clue when none was left in the mere commission of the crime which has been erroneOusly be- lieved by the earlier detective to be the beginning of clues. Tn 5 clue like Topsy, "just growed." Councilman Dyer, however, should not be given too much credit for the wisdom of his de- duction. He was somewhat aided by experience, for he had previously eaten some of the same kind of chickens and he was aware of their flesh compelling effect.

OFFICERS EXONERATED.
Maria Little and Mrs. Wall Threat
 ened With Arrest for Perjury.

The investigation of Officers Molloy and Doheney, if it may be called an investigation, on a charge made by prostitute of having unlawfully col lected money from her, came to an end in the recorders court yesterday and the officers were fully exonerated. This was one of those peculiar cases which in spite of the bad reputation of the accuser, would have left a stain if her story had been we'll told. But there were so many discrepancies in it and such vital contradictions be- tween her and the woman who under took to corroborate her that their tes- timony alone was a complete disproof of the accusation.
 As was stated yesterday they said the event occurred about midnight of February 21. One of them said that one officer kicked in the door of the

 THEY HAVE SHIPS TO SELL.
 Philadelphia, March 9.-Charles H. Cramp, head of the great shipbuild- ing firm, said yesterday that there is a deliberate attempt under way to frighten the United States into buying ships it does not need and could not use. He said: 'sThis clamor about buying warships abroad is all insti- gated by a syndicate of adventurers who are trying to get big commissions by helping the English and German shipbuilders to unload on the United States number of vessels which they have built on speculation.

HOW TO MEASURE HAY.
4 Question Submitted to the District
 Court for Arbitrament

Suit was begun in district court Goldman The action involves mat ter concerning which until now no question has ever arisen, the style of measurement of hay in the stack in the denomination of the ton. Mr. Berray, formerly superintendent of the Old Dominion mine at Globe. is now a resident of Central, N. M. He is the owner of several farms near Tempe, from which a great deal of hay was cut last season. MT. Goldman bought several stacks estimated to contain about 300 tons. A considerable part of it has been paid for and there is yet according to MT. Berray's view $495 due. MT. Goldman believes that there should be a deduction from the bal- ance of S270 on account of the man ner in which the hay was measured. but he has offered to split the differ ence. MT. Berray does not care par ticularly for the difference, but he wants to have some one kind of meas urement legally established. Mir. Goldman wants to have the same thing done, so that the suit may be said to be a friendly one.
 Hay in the stack was at one time uniformly sold by what is known as the government measure. It con- sisted in throwing a rope over the top of the stack so that each end just touched the ground on opposite sides. The length of the rope was multiplied by the perimeter of the base of the stack, and the product divided by four was believed to be the contents of the stack in tons. MT. Goldman agrees that this method is fair in the case of hay stacked by hand; in fact, the stack would a little more than hold out, but when the hay has been stacked by a machine it will fall short. The hay in this case was machine stacked.

No Immediate Prospect of a Col

Washington March 9.-There were fewer signs of excitement and haste at the war and navy department to- day and the preparations being made towards putting the army and navy into an efficient condition are now go- ing on with more method and less ex- hibition of the feverish spirit of ap- prehension than that which charac- terized the proceedings of the last few days. There is general expression of the belief that for a time at least there is no prospect of hostile col lision and what seemed to be a crisis has safely passed.
