THAT RAILROAD.

Hon. G. S. Nixon says in the Reno
Gazette:
"An eastern company has taken hold
OF the iron mines situated near Love-
lock and from present indications it looks
az if they would soon be operating them
on large scale, parties interested
claiming that the property promises to
yield wonderful results"
Mr.. Nixon is well informed, live
citizen and sound business man. His
words are encouraging in a matter in
which Churchill county and Wadsworth
have life-sized interest. The company
will have to build railroad to connect
sith the Central Pacific, the Union
Iron Works of San Francisco being
largely interested in the deal Church.
ill county wants that raiload to run
through its thousands of acres OF fertile
land, by its stock ranges where feed a
million cattle, and to tap an inexhausti-
BILE mineral belt. Wadsworth wants
that railroad to make its junction point
here. Churchill county we are informed
by Hon. W. d. Epperson, Hon. |. Ii.
Kent and others. wants that railroad so
much that every citizen there is in favor
of il, longs for il, and is willing to bond
Churchill county for 100000 or satis-
factory sum to get it. Wadsworth wants
that railroad TO come In here and will
guarantee terminal facilities and other
necessaries to get it. We do know that
We do want that railroad and all the
other railroads we have and can get and
will clasp them to our bosom with rails
of steel. The enterprising citizens OF
Churchill are in earnest in this matter
and will work zealously to obtain what
they want. The feeling is wonderfully
unanimous and they will reach for 1t in
their best style. While the proposed
road is in it's infancy the company has
encouraged the people of Churchill to
consider the matter and Churchill will
he ready for conference whenever the
company lie. There should be no such
word as fail in connection with this mat
ter and we should be prepared to take
1t at it's food. It would be n godsend TO
Churchill and open up one of the most
promising counties in Nevada it would
be OF inestimable value TO Wadsworth
pave the way for now industries and in-
fuse new blood. We must stand
shoulder to shoulder and go in to win.

is to meet at Reno on the 18th of this
month. The Republican State and
county ticket is almost sure to win in
this county at the coming election, but
Mr.. Lymsn would run ahead of the re-
gular ticket, not only in Storey, but
throughout the entire western portion
OF the State. In this connection it may be
said that the Republicans of Nevada will
put up nothing but good men this Fall.
The ticket from start to finish will be
composed of men who will be an honor
TO the party and an honor to the State
and county if elected. Some OF the
mosTsolid and capable men in the State
are in the Republican party and the best
OF these will he chosen as standard bear
ers at the convention on the 18th.
The Carson News says: "The propo-
sition that Nevada is lost to the Repub-
lican party is not based on logical deduc-
tions as the coming campaign will show.
On the other hand it is evident that
only almost superhuman efforts will keep
the Silver party together this year and
the defeat OF that party the following
campaign is acknowledged by the men,
bers thereof themselves. Nevada will
be again in the Republican line in less
than four years and will be in so strong
that there will be no danger of any more
ghost dancing for many years to come

VEST POCKET ITEMS.

Boston claims to have the longest
paved street in the world-Washing-
ton street-which is seventeen and a
half miles in length.
In the town of Chile most shops are
open till midnight, and during the
hot afternoons, when everybody
takes a ciesta, they are locked up.
In a recent book on China the
author says that Chinese burglars
are difficult to catch, as they oil
their bodies all over and twist their

The only soap which the Hindoos
of the orthodox type employ is made
entirely of vegetable products. But
soap is little used in India, being
almost an unknown luxury with the

Unhappy Wilmington.


According to the testimony of our

ton contemporaries, the situation of
affairs in that city is deplorable and
alarming. Due to municipal govern
ment which is, to say no more, weak
and inefficient; to police force which
is incompetent, if not in sympathy
with the lawless element, crime OF
every kind runs riot and the city is
at the mercy of burglars, thugs and
hoodlums. 1t was rot SO when the
Democrats had control of the State

it is they who know him best and
consequently hate him worst.

cover and has "seeds" In it, and may

Every housewife knows that onions
are a kind of all-round good medi-
cine, without knowing why.
She knows that a solid red onion
eaten at bedtime will by the next
morning break the severest cold.
She also knows that onions make
a good plaster to remove inflamma-
ton and hoarseness, but she does
not know why.
If any one would take an onion
and mash 1t so as to secure all the
Juice in it, he would have a most
remarkable smelling substance that
would quiet the most nervous person.
The strength of this subtance in
hailed for q few moments will dull the
senaesof smell and weaken the nerves
until sleep is produced from sheer
exhaustion.
This all comes from one property
possessed by the onion, and that is a
form of opium.

There is Where the Democratic Party
is Today.

From Chicago telegram.
Stephen A. Douglas, Jr., son of the
famous opponent of Lincoln, Is out
with a. letter announcing his perma-
nent detection from the Republican
party. He says:
"For years have been considered
by Republicans as doctrinally un-
sound because l really believe that
this should be government OF the
people, by the people and strictly for
the people. Of late years the tend
ency of the Republican party has
been to fasten this government under
the control of trusts and monopolies.
"The tendency of the Democratic
party has been to curtail the power
of money and place the government
in the hands of the masses of the
people. | not only believe that this
should be so, but also firmly believe
that the only thing that can prevent
this country from beinG wealth-r1d-
den on the one hand and mob-ridden
on the other is that the government
shall be in the hands of the plain
people.
"All my life my sympathies have
been with the people (having been
taught this by the two men l honor
above all others, my father and Mr..
Lincoln), and today | believe my
proper place is in the Democratic
party and there shall abide"

"a Valuable Nefehbof.
4 the Atlanta Journal. I

From the Atlanta Journal
The prospects of closer relations
with Canada are gratifying. The
Joint high commission composed of
prominent citizens of the United
States and the Dominion Of Canada
will undoubtedly take such action as
will bring the two countries into
more intimate relations with each
other than they have enjoyed hither-
to. One of the matters to be con-
sidered by this commission is:
''Such reimbursement and conces-
sions as may be deemed mutually
advantageous, of customs duties ap-
plicable in each country to the
products of the soil or industry OF
the other, upon the basis of recipro-
cal equivalents"
If our commercial relations with
Canada can be arranged on a bust
ness basis both countries will profit
greatly thereby. The trade of Can
ada is already of great value to us,
and will become more valuable if we
do not interfere with it further by
tariff legislation.

At the recent reunion Of the United

Atlanta, Ga, it was decided to hold
next years reunion at Charleston, S.
@. The selection of Charleston has
created much enthusiasm in that city.
A largely attended meeting, which
included many ladies, was held there
Monday evening at which committees
were appointed to make all arrange
veterans in 1899. Speeches were made
by Gen. Edward McGrady, Maj. Theo-
dore Barker and a half-dozen other

landed on the slope. After regalnlng
consciousness he endeavored to reach
a point where he could get help. ln

would have landed him in the river.
He at first said he had been assaulted

Training for Statehood

ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
Statehood for none of our new
conquests has been thought OF yet,
but the people of Porto Rico are
getting themselves In training for it..
They are showing an Americanism
and an intelligence which are i'm
pressing the United States very
favorably toward them. 1t is known,
of course, that the proportion OF
whites to the total population is
larger in Porto Rico than 1t is in
Cuba or any other Spanish island,
It's per capita wealth is greater, and
it's percentage of educated people is
higher. After the Spaniards are
driven out of the island a stream OF
emigrants to it from the United
States is likely to set in, and its
population will rapidly increase in
the immediate future. Porto Rico
will probably not remain in the
crown colony status long. A full
territorial government is reasonably
certain to be given to that island
before many years pass.
