"Home, Sweet Home"

interesting. During wandering

now knows. 1t Immediately sug-

inscription telling that "ColJnel John
Howard Payne, citizen of the Unit

erected in honor of the author of

AS Nervy an HE was brave.

The poor wounded in Cuba have had
a hard time. Apparently the powers
thought that there was not going to
be any wounded; and, without doubt,
few on Cuban soil dreamed there would
be SO many. Nowhere were hospital
preparations complete enough, in
tents, medicine, nurses, or surgeons,
on the field, or in the rear. At Siboney,
according to John Fox, Jr., in his let
ter to Harper's Weekly, the surgeons
had not time enough to get the names,
or even to count the number brought
in. The men not seriously wounded
lay for hours awaiting their turn after
the men who were seriously injured,
and yet few complained, and they were
usually the men slightly hurt. He tells
of three men brought in from San
Juan. The surgeon took the one who
was grooming. He had a mere scratch
on his leg. Another was dressed rs
the third sat silently on chair; still
another was attended, and another,

who was so patiently awaiting his
turn.

a GENUINE DISPATCH.

The following communication was
received from Governor Sadler by
Friday evening" mail:
"PALIsADE, NEVADA. Oct. 81, 1898
"ELKo INDEPENDENT, ELKo, Ne
vADA.-A dispatch dated March II,
1893, published in the INDEPENDENT
OF the ooh instant addressed TO Hon
w. NJ. Stewart, Washington, d. c.,
and purporting to have been signed
by me, is not genuine, l WAS in East
ern Nevada away from telcgraphic
lines at that time and did not send
that dispatch nor authorize it sent
l left Carson, Nevada, March 9th and
returned March Both. Please correct
misstatement.
%R. SADLER."
We hardly catch the Governors
idea in pronouncing the dispatch in
question not genuine. If he intends
to insinuate that the dispatch was
manufactured in this Office he iR clear
off his base. In order that the peo-
pie may clearly understand to what
dispatch the Governor alludes in his
communication we publish it again.
1t is as follows:
carson CITY, March IL, 1898.
"W. M. -Stockmen adj
NIT that Nevada ranges are pretty
well depleted of cattle by Eastern
buyers. Men in Hum boldt county
have bought cattle in California to
stock their ranges and cannot bring
them here because of quarantine reg
ulations. Farmers who raise hay
want more cattle in the State so that
they will have market for their feed
next winter. There cannot at present
be any valid objection to raising
quarantine and letting healthy cattle
come into the State. 1t will increase
taxable property, utilize feed on the
range and benefit alfalfa growers.
"R. SADLER."
This dispatch was published in all
the State papers during the quaran-
tine agitation and it's authorship was
not then denied by Governor Sadler,
at least as far as we know.
The INDEPENDENT has no desire
whatever to mlsrepresent the Cover
nor, but it does insist that the dis
patch in question was sent from the
Governors office over his name. If
he dld not sign it, his representative
in the Office did thus making it an act
OF the Governor which he has not
seen fit to repudiate until now. The
original dispatch with the Governors
name attached thereto is now on file
in the Governors Office and in the
telegraph Office at Carson. This be-
ing so the Governor has no just cause
of complaint against the INDEPEN-
DENT for again giving it to the pub
lie.

When Bismarck was Prussian am
bassador at Frankfort an interesting
incident occurred to him. At that mo-
ment he lodged in the house of mer-
chant who dctcsted the Prussans.
Bismarck asked the landlord to put a
bell in his room. The latter replied
that it was not in the lease, and that
if Bismarck wanted one he would have
to put 1T up himself A few days after
the whole house was suddenly aroused
by pistol shot fired in the room. The
landlord rushed to the apartment out
of breath and found the ambassador
quietly smoking large pipe seated in
front Of pile Of documents. On the
table was the pistol which he had just
fred. "In the name of goodness"
cried the landlord, "what has hap
pened?' ooh, nothing" replied Bis
marck; don't be alarmed. I have
simply called my servant to come and
speak to me. 1t is quite an inoffensive
signal, to which you would do well to
get accustomed, for I shall no doubt
make use of it more than once" The
landlord took the hint, and Bismarck
got his bell.--London Globe.
