THE HOON CASE

A great deal OF s> mpathy is being
wasted these days on military offend
els convicted IN the Philippines md
sentenced to death or terms OF I'M
prisonment. The Hoon Case is an ex-
ample. lie vas a private OF the
Ninth Infantry. Wanting a commits
sion his fertile imagination evolved
the idea Of sending a letter of recon-
mendation to General OTIS, to which
he forged the signatures OF q number
o! members of his company. The
letter said he had seer more service
than any other man in his regiment,
and was the bravest of the 1900 sol
dlers composing it. The letter VAS a
fraud on its face, and Hoon, beng
tried and convicted by courlma1tial,
wa> sentenced TO dishonorable dis
charge and ore years imprisonment.
Immediately after Hoon's convlc-
ton became known in this countr, a
great howl was raised. 1t was pre-
sunled that he could not possibly be
guilty of any o~ffense, Governor
Bushnell of Ohio, the State from
which Hoon enlisted, said the case
exceeded that of Dres fus in infamy.
and asked President Mckinley TO i'm
nediately pardon Hoon. General
Otis was asked for the facts and gave
them as above. They show that
Hcon is a contemplate scound1el and
deserving Of the punishment which
has been melted out to nm. Inc
moral Of cases Of this kind is that
both sides must be heard Lefore an
intelligent opinion can be formed,
that II is not impossible tor a man to
wear the blue and still be a criminal.
and that eve Governors of States
some times make tools Of themselves.

THE OLD STORY

The State of Nevada has always
been the evenue builder for people
who resi1e within her borders for the
sake of revenue only. San Francisco
is a monumental landmark of Nevada
capital. Half of the big city has
been built from the revenue Of this
State and the same story is repeated
yearly. AS soon as a man makes a
comfortable fortune be invests the
bulk of it within tue Golden State
and say good bye to his friends and
old interests in the Sagebrush State.
The last instance of this character
is D. l.. Bliss, who accumulated a
vast fortune in the numbering business
in this State. He has cleaned out
everything he owns within our Dor
ders and is moving 10 San Francisco,
where he will erect a mansion His
handsome home in this city is for
sale, the land he owned about Lake
Tahoe is Invested o: its forests and
day by day he is cleaning up what
remains @! his timber in this State.
Mr.. Bliss, like every other man has
a right to invest his money where
ever he may see fit, but the fact re-
mains that a State that is cleaned out
by these people is worse off from their
visitation. II a State is good enough
to make money in it should be good
enough to invest the same revenue in
As long as this sort OF business goes
on it will be an uphill business for
Nevada to prosper,

the Boston Central Labor Union paid
Mayor Plunkett a visit last Sunday,
and in the course of a conversation, ad-

of Machlas, Me, when the doctors
said she could not live till morning"
writes Mrs. S. Fl. Lincoln, who atten-
ded her that fearful night. "All
thought she must soon die from Pneu-
monia, but she begged for DR.. King s
New Discovery, saying it had more
than once saved her life, and had
cured her of Consumption. After
three small doses she slept easily all
night, and its further use completely
cured her." This marvellous medi-
cine is guaranteed to cure all Throat,
Chest and Lung Diseases. Only SO
