The Kline Journal says: "The last
cry of the unfortunate man. 81 am
innocent" was not addressed to men
but to reasonless beings"
The German Governmental organ
the Nord Deutsches Aelegemeine
Zeitung, has not uttered a word OF
comment on the judgment of the
Dreyfus courtmartial.
Berlin National Zeitung declares:
cit is the greatest crime against
mankind which has been committed
since the days of the Inquisition and
the burning of witches"
Borsen Courier says: "This is a
crushing judgment on the condition
of things in France. 1t is the moral
capitulation of the French army
with additional circumstances OF
shame"
"We believe it our duty to refrain
from criticizing the Judgment, ;" says
the Clerical Germania of Berlin. "a
French court-martial has given its
verdict and is responsible for it be-
fore God and man."
Berlin Vossische Zeitung write
'By this stain France throws the
state that was so proud of its free
dom and civilization back into bar
barities and dishonors the country
which has passed the sentence OF
an innocent man as Justice"
The Cologne Gazette says: "It i
a cowardly verdict, in the barbarou
spirit of the Middle Age. By thi
crime the judges have imposed
line of demarkation between Franc
and of the world, which althoug
it will not prevent diplomatic intel
course and stay the common exchan
ges of PRODUCTS, will, according to a
the notions of right, justice, honor
tolerance and ethics which the civ
lized world bear with it in the twel
tieth century, form barrier onl
to be removed by time and laborior
effort.
The other leading journals con
ment upon the verdict in simil'
strains.

Will Nevada Exhibit :?

By an Act of the Nineteenth Ses-
sion of the Nevada Legislature. the
Governor was empowered to APP
point Boz of three Commission
ers to represent the State at the
Paris Exposition, to be held at Paris
France. A. D. 1900. No appropri-
alton was made enabling the Commits
siohers to collect and maintain a
mineral exhibit, and there was grave
apprehensions as to the possibilities
of the State being represented at all.
This apprehension has been remov-
ed by the timely action of the U. s.
Com missioners, who propose to
maintain the Nevada Exhibit without
cost to the State, accepting the ex-
hibit at Carson.
1t is the desire of the State Com
missioners that the citizens should
tend all the aid in their power in
submitting minerals from all sections
of the State. The samples should
not be bulky, space for exhibiting
bsing limited. A bond for the care
an return of al. minerals with
valuation placed thereon will be
given each exhibitor, The collec-
tive minerals of mines in operation
unless otherwise stated, will, at the
close of the Exposition, be donated
to the Government for permanent
exhibit in the Smithsonian Institute
at Washington, d. G.
Strong cases with locks, and care
fully guarded. will insure the safety
Of all valuable minerals, SO there
should be no hesitancy on the par
of the exhibitor to help the Commis
sion in showing to the world tn
true value and wonderful minera
resources of Nevada.
The Commission has been advised
by a representative of the Govern
memt of the plan of classification o
the minerals, and it will be ever
superior to that of the Columbi
Exposition. The following iustruc
tons should accompany each exhibit
LIST OF NEVADA MINERALS. Az CLASSIFIED

tive metals.

MINING FAILURES.
How Tenderfeet Start to Develop q
Mine.

The Western States, Nevada in
cluded, have been in the field for
innumerable mining failures, prin-
cipally from the fact that lot Of
tenderfeet from the green strips of
the great East have planted their ex-
perience and money in good mines
with no idea of how to manage the
affairs.
Not long ago crowd of Eastern
men focked to the country south of
here. They arrived with plaid vests,
soft hands, good intentions and
few prayer books.
The first thing done was the pur-
chase of supplies. They bought
condensed milk for camp that is
infested with cows. They loaded
their rigs down with good things to
eat, and when they reached the mine
not q pick, shovel, powder or candles
was to be found in the supplies.
After waiting for few days two
experienced miners were procured
to operate mine that was to pay
dividends to some twenty stockhold-
ers and directors that arrived from
the green fields East of the Missouri.
The miners worked under the di-
rections of superintendent appoint
ed from dry goods store, and un-
der his command ran tunnel into
the hill to tap the shaft. When the
tunnel was finished it tapped the
shaft-forty feet below the bottom
The shaft was sunk on the ledge in
pay ore, while the tunnel neither cu
the ledge or helped matters out il
cheapening the handling of the ore
Along with these gentlemen cam,
a number of bibles. They were care
fully perused and at the company
boarding house, grace was said thre
times day, while at night the com
pany in general proceeded to fill Vi
on bad Nevada moonshine whiskey
The bibles and the whiskey di
not mix well and consequently th
mine is closed down indefinitely
and the company is returning to il
: various homes as fast as money frol
home arrives.
/: These are not mere fancies but al
realities, and it is what terminals
in mining failures, and every sue
failure gives the section black eye

as there is not county in the Sta

CITATIONS.
PRESS CT TIE WORLD UN re IN
iENCUNy ING VERDICT.

The Military Court at Rennes ad-
judged Dreyfus guilty on forged
documents, and sentenced him to
ten years servitude. 1t is one of the
greatest crimes ever perpetrated by
Military Court or any other, and
by it France has lowered herself in
the eyes of the world, and it will
take years to even erase a portion of
it. So great is the indignation over
he entire world, that it is claimed
he attendance at the Paris Exposi-
ton from foreign visitors will fall off
at least 50%. Following are the
comments of the leading pap ers Of
many nations on this great crime.
London, Sept. 11.-With the ex-
ception of the Jesuit organ in Rome
and the anti-Semite papers, the press
of the whole world is ringing with
execration. Even the Russian press
joins in the chorus, although per-
haps the Jews are nowhere more
hated than in Russia. The judges
are everywhere described as Grimm
ais aud gloomy speculations are ln-
dulged in as what future is in store
for France.
The German press is especially in
dignant, the National Zeitung re-
marking that Even the worst enemy
Of France could Dot have wished
what has happened"
Papers of all natlonalities fall in
with the idea of boycotting the ex-
hibition.
The Daily Telegraph says: "This
infamous judgment disgraces France
dishonors her army. insults the Kai-
ser and offends the best principals
of humanity. There seems nothing
left for France but a revolution anC

KEEP THE STREAMS PURE.

committee of the State senate OF New
York has under consideration a matter
that ought to enlist the attention OF the
lawmaking bodies OF every State In the
Union--a proposition relating to the pro-
lection of the waters OF the State from
pollution and the reclamation and inn
proyement OF those already polluted.
The Post has on more than one occa-
sion, heretofore. insisted that the pollu-
ton OF running waters. or streams, or
lakes used by man or beast for drinking
or bathing. was not only dangerous but a
relic of barbarism. As has been said in
comment on this proposition now before
the New York legislature, the people not
OF New York alone. but OF other States
and of innumerable localities, have learned
at bitter cost that the use OF streams as
a dumping field for ilth. or as sewers, is
direct menace to health and life. One
or the most common results OF the pollu-
ton OF streams Is the outbreak OF ty-
phoid and other types of low fever. In
the city of Philadelphia at present an
epidemic is raging that has already carried
OFF hundreds OF citizens-the cause easily
found in impure drinking water from the
Schuylkill.
But It is not the cities alone that ar,
menaced. The rural districts. particular,
in the vicinity OF large towns or cities
are especially interested In this question
