OF the bride, escorting the bride, and
Miss Winnie Bellam, bridesmaid, lean
in the arm OF the groom.
The groom and best man were attired

orange blossoms, looked most charming
in their elegant costumes.
After the completion OF the ceremony,
and congratulations having been tender
ed, the party Withdrew to the dining

Firing Up Engines With Oil.

The Southern Pacific Company at this
point, Will very sh,rtiy, commence ii
new departure in the system OF firing up
engines, prior TO their departure IRON
Wadsworth. AT present when an en-
CINE comes in from Il run, the fire is
dumped and she is allowed to cool down
until two or three hours proceeding her
departure, when Il fire is kindled with
an eighth OF Il cord OF wood in an eight
or ten wheeler, to Il quarter of "a cord in
II twelve wheeler. AS the company pays
nearly IS a cord for wood, this is veiy
expensive, SO a new idea in the shape
OF crude oil is being introduced, and in IA
few days will be in active operation.
The plant consists OF "A pipe line to the
crude oil tank, a small rotary engine to
force and spray tie oil through a flat
tened nozzle and a steam blower to at
tach to blower pipe in the front end and
create a draft in the tire.box and hues.
10 fire up an engine, Il layer OF coal
about three inches deep is first scattered
evenly over the CRATES, Il piece OF bnrri-
ing waste thrown in, the hattened noz-
gle entered through the fire door, a small
valve at the base OF the nozzle opened to
ALLOW the oil to flow and Il spray of crude
petroleum is blown all over the green
coal, igniting almost instantly and Gre
ating An intense heat in a very short pc
Rod. The oil as IA kinder costs u few
cents, while every fire kindled by wood
cost within a dollar or more. AS will
be seen, a.great saving is effected, as
well AZ the process OF steam raising much
expedited. The plants are in successful
operation all owe the system, and the
humble but convenient woodpile is a
thing of the past. Why the fence?

For Nevada Beauties.

The award medal to be issued in gold,
silver and bronze for the Omaha ex posi-
ton is to be adorned on one side by a
composite picture made up of the photo
graphs OF the fairest daughters OF the
west. From each state this side of the
Mississippi will be selected the prettiest
face, making in all twenty-four models
of loneliness. Several Of the states are
already in the heat OF the contest. No
general plan has been given forth by the
exposition authorities AS to the method
to be pursued in ascertaining the choice
OF the states, but the best plan would be
by popular vote. The Salt Lake Tribune
says lin Wyoming the county commiss-
toner's have undertaken the selection of
pictures Of the two most beautiful wo-
men in each county, and from this col
lection will be made the difficult choice
OF the states representative. Colorado
is thinking OF choosing her beauty from
the county representatives at Denver's
recent festival, and Utah may possibly
find Il model of lo~veliness in some OF
those who participated in the jubilee"
The Carson Appeal thinks that steps
ought to be taken to decide on Nevada's
most beautiful woman, and has started
a voting contes to decide on Ormby's
candidate for the prize.
The two most beautiful women from
Washoe will come from Wadsworth and
one OF them will be selected by the gem
eral committee 80 there is really little
need Of any other county entering the
contest.

For some time past the democratic
press has been claiming with a degree of
authority, that Mckinley acted treach-
erously with the bimetallic commission
while he professed to be assisting them.
To disprove this We will quote from a
speech made by Senator Woicott Mon
day: ave have then had a law broad
and full in its power; We have been free
to act under its provisions our views
have been identical and earnestly favor
ing an international agreement; and we
have had the hearty support of our Ann
bassador at the Court of St. James.
Further than this, from the day OF first
entering upon the fulfillment of our du-
ties until now, the President OF the
United States has extended to the COM
mission his answering support in all its
efforts to bring about an international
agreement. There has been no
that we have not known that back OF our
efforts was the earnest desire OF the Chief
Executive to carry out in its entirety
the provisions of the platform OF the Re-
publican party pledging il to every effort
to bring about an international bimetal-
lie agreement
