Important Meeting Will Be Held
Monday Evening.

The grocers and butchers will hold
an important meeting Monday evening,
at the Commercial club rooms The
meeting will be called to order prompt
Iy at 8 o'clock, and it is to be hoped that
all the grocers and butchers in the city
viii be present It is especially urged
that the members Of the different com
mittees appointed Will make an extra
effort to all be present, as reports of
the work done up to the present time
will be called for. and further plans
made for the banquet
Owing to the fact that the Twentieth
Kansas regiment will soon start for
home, and the many little details to be
attended to before the giving of the
banquet, in order that everything may
pass off smoothly. it is very urgent that
every grocer and butcher in the city
assist in every way possible. There is
plenty of work to be done for every
one. 1t may also be mentioned that the
pie plates can be had of the secretary,
VIM. Dransfeld, at No. 134 Kansas
avenue Some few of the grocers and
butchers have called for their share of
the plates, but the bulk of them still
remain uncalled for.

HAVEN'T HEARD OF 1T.
News Of Silver Party Defeat Not Yet
Reached White Pine.

1t is ard to pick up a Republican or
Gold Democrat newspaper in Nevada
that is not harping OIL the idea that the
Silver party of Nevada was so badly
beaten in the last election thai it ought to
go out of business.
An examination of the casualties suf-
fered by the Silver party reveals the fact
extent that Mr.. FitzsimmOns was done
up by Mr.. Corbett in this city about two
years agO
1t is evident however that the news of
the defeat Of the Silver party has not yet
reached the Outlaying precincts of White
Pine county. The wires are doubtless
down and rail facilities a little slow,
hence the delay in getting the election
returns in there.
Those benighted Silver men are going
to celebrate on Washington's birthday
and here is the kind of a program they
are getting up:
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY

By members of the Silver Party of
White Pine county in honor of the sue

MONEY FOR ATTACHES.
The following resolution by Cutter
was unanimously adopted. The serv-
ices Of the persons receiving the sums
set opposite their names were consid-
cred necessary for the proper transact
ton of business, and were set to work
upon request of the Secretary of the
Senate. Senator Cullen explained that
the late lamented Belshaw Act made
no provisions for porters, watchmen, or
any of the positions named in the res
olution, and he called on the Demo-
cratic members to swing into line and
give the necessary four-fifths vote for
the adoption of the resolution. The
Democrats Swung" accordingly. The
resolution follows::
Resolved, that the several sums set
opposite the following named persons
be and the same are hereby approprl-
ated out of the contingent fund of the
Senate for the purpose of paying for
labor performed and services rendered
by the different named persons men
toned herein, and the Controller
be authorized to draw his warrants for
the several amounts, and the Treasur-
er directed to pay the same.

NO CLERK.
Doty said he would like some inforna-
ton concerning a bill he had intro
duced on the first day of the session and
which had been referred to the COM
mittee on Prisons and Prison Buildings.
He said it was important and hao
probably got lost in the shuttle.
Bulla. said he happened to be Cnaar-
man of the Committee in question, out
that asshe had been provided with no
Clerk he had done no work. His peo-
pie he said, had not elected him TO 90
clerical work and he did not propose to
do any. He fatty asserted that when
clerk had been furnished ne
would take up the bill and all bills, and
not before.
II hope" said Doty, that you'll soon
get clerk.
"Well,'' replied Bulla, you voted
against allowing any.

! President and Mrs Jordan were
there, also Professor Nathan Abbott Of
Stanford. Several ladies besides Mrs
Jordan were present, among them Mrs
| Dibble and Mrs. Caminetti.
Another measure discussed was AS
semblyman Cobbs Constitutional
Amendment No. providing for the
exemption of private schools and col
lleges. Mr.. Cobb presented the matter
to the committee and was supported by
Rev. DR.. McClish for the University of
the Pacific, Rev. DIR. Borard of Santa
Rosa, and Rev. Barton w. Perry for
the Prsebyterians.
~
Johnson's own bill fer the establishment
of another Supreme Court-a Court of
Appeals-and, on this matter, General
Chapman of the Supreme Court Com
missioners was present to speak and
to confer.
| So it proved busy and very long
session.
President Jordan, first with his per-
! cJ1o eli tod
sented the arguments-now generally
well understood-in. favor of the ex-
emptionv of the property of Stanford
University from State taxation. He
claimed that the enormous tax would
sooner or later render it impossible to
afford the students free tuition-sn his
own words taxation and free tuition
could not co-exist''-and for that and
policy to exempt.
Professor Nathan Abbott followed
with facts and figures in orderly array
and both gentlem en- were given ample
time and earnest attention.
The same courtesy was awarded the
gentlemen who spoke to Mr.. Cobb's
amendment and their pleas for the ex-
emption of private schools and colleges
were equally earnest
! The talk on the Appellate Court was
more in the nature of a friendly con-
ference than formal presentation of
] the matter
The committee held no executive ses-
sion on any of the questions. 1t is
probable that the Senate and Assembly
Judiciary Committees will hold a joint
session on the exemption measures. No
report will be ready to-day.
