is a lover of coon dances and takes much
interest in one to take place at Virginia
next Friday night. About sixty people
will leave Reno at 5 O'Clock sharp, Fri
day afternoon for the side of Mt. David
son. Captain Gosse has composed a
song that he will sing on the cars going
up and when he gets there he will prob
ably hire a hall and sing to an admiring
audience. 1t runs something like this :
Warm coons are prancing,
Dude coons are dancing,
Tough coons who want to fight.
So pu; on yo' blazalis
Fetch out yo' Iazahs,
Darktown is out tonight.
The rh, me is no entirely perfect but
Harry will make it jingle all right when
he sings it, A red headed niger, by the
way is not seen every day, and Harry is
at a loss to know how he will disguise
his auburn locks. But joking aside a
merry party will attend the dance. I'M
mediately after the dance the Renoites
will he b%anqueted at a restaurant and
take the train INN. ediately after for
home. A good time is in store for all

Care Of Wedding Bells and
Flowers.

Elmer A. Cooper, one of the best
fellows in the railroad business on this
continent, has been in town for several
days. His business here is supposed to
be perfectly legitimate. for it is said that
it is well for a man to marry--that is, OF
conrse, ii lie can find a girl that suits
him. But why he should come to Reno
and take away with him one OF Reno's
own, without leave or license, only the
license he got from the County Clerk,
struck the Gazette man Ms decidedly
cheeky. The wires have been kept hot
for the past three days with kilograms
congratulatory OF the step he is about to
take. One OF them was sent in care OF
wedding bells and flowers" Mr..
Cooper will lead to the matrimonial alt
err about Friday Miss Clara Richardson,
one OF Reno's sweetest daughters, and
after doing all the mischief he can in
this town will visit San Francisco a few
days, her return to Denver and settle
down. Seriously, however, the Gazette
congratnlates Mr.. Cooper for his choice
OF a life partner and it also congra.u-
lates Miss Richardson, for she is about

Uncle John Danner very narrowly
escaped having Deaths cold shroud
wound around him Monday of this
week. 1t was during the storm
period that morning and he had just
been over to Brayton. He was
trudging along the lane toward Oak
field, when bolt Of lightning de-
scended from the heavens and it is
supposed, struck neighboring wire
fence. Anyway the force of the cleo
trical shock was so great that Uncle
John was instantly paralyzed and was
found shortly atterward lying face
downward in the mud. He was
picked up by VIM. Ordway who was
returning on his way home from his
daily trip to the creamery, and was
taken to his home in Oakfeld. 1t
was over two hours before he regain
ed consciousness enough to relate
what he could remember of the acct
dent. Mr.. Danner is nearly so years
old and to the surprise of all he was
able to be around the next day and
on Tuesday we saw him at the shop
looking none the worse from the
effects OF the electrical shock.
Pastor T. j. O'Connor is now at
Swanton, Nebraska, and the follow
ing in regard to his department we
clip from the Record Of that city:
Ion Thursday afternoon the editor
was down at the depot and observed
a gentleman get off the train whose
appearance, somehow, seemed very
familiar. The gentleman saw the
editor and walked up with out
stretched hand saying Hello! Ey-
ler." The editor exclaimed, Well!
if there isn't O'Connor.' As the new
arrival walked up Main street every
body he met rushed at him, grabbed
his hand and exclaimed: Hello,
Toni" or "Welcome back, Tom,''
A little later the farmers began COM
ing in and when they were told
OConnor was in town, they sought
him out and the Handwriting and
!" Helloes" were continued until he
drove out Of town with our former
banker, Mr.. Coe. In the evening he
returned and led the prayer meeting
at the M. E. church. 1t is most un-
necessary to say that this is the
identical "T. j." who in other days
dished up the news every week to the
Inhabitants of this community at the
astonishingly low figure of dollar
year. Tom, now the Rev. T. j.
OConnor, of Brayton, Iowa, is on
his way to Denver and western Ne
braska, on vacation trip. He will
preach here next Lords Day, having
consented to the urgent request Of
the people to stop over. OF course
the church will be crowded."

DEWEY ACcEPTS

The House rendered TO Him by tho
American People-Tclls tho Com
mittee his Preference Of a location.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 6.-Ad-
mlral Dewey has elected to accept a
house in Washington. already COM
structed, instead OF having one built
for his occupation. In accordance with
the invitation of the committee which
has had in charge the Dewey home
fund. he called at the ofice of Acting
Secretary Allen in the navy department
at IL o'clock to-day to indicate his pre-
ferences in the mntter Of a residence.
There were present, besides Mr.. Allen,
Assistant secFetary Vanderlip, Assist
ant Postmaster General Heath and
General corbIn. The admiral was ofi-
cially informed OF the purpose Of the
people OF the United States to present
him with homo In Washington. He
frankly expressed his qualification at
the tender which he Immediately ac-
cepted. He said had the proposed home
been the gift OF few wealthy men he
ANuulu LHGt lll0AlNNseN " ANNEpA lAs nuN
he noted that the fund had over 5000
subscribers, indicating that the home
was to be really the gift OF the Ameri-
can people, and as such he would accept
Il with as much pleasure as he had the
sword bestowed upon him by Congress,
He then talked upon the location OF
the residence, The admiral showed u
decided preference for the section in
which he had made his home during
his former details OF duty in Washing
ton. He wished the house to be located
in the northwest section, somewhere
west Of Sixteenth street and not too far
north, thus Indicating the nelghborhoOd
OF his former residence and the clubs
where he had spent a good deal OF his
leisure time. First OF all, he wanted the
house at the earliest possible moment,
so that he might ''go In and hang up
his hat at once" as he put II. OF course
that precluded the idea Of erecting a
house to meet his special needs. He
expressed his ideas as to the character
OF the home he desires and asked that
the house be modest enough In ap-
pointments and cost to permit Of the
retention of a sufficient sum Of money
from the purchase fund TO defray the
expense OF furnishing It.
The committee listened nttentlNcly
to all OF these wishes and saw no rea-
son why each and all could not be grnt-
flied. The admiral is going to New
York tonight or tomorrow, and will
stop over II he can to see the yacht race
on his way TO Shelburne farms, Ner-
mont. He expects to return to WASH
lnGton in the course Of n week. Mean
while, the house committee having In
vited written proposals Of properties
Will go through the list carefully and
hope to be able TO present TO the adj
miral on his return as many Us half n
dozen available houses from which he
may make personal selection. The
fund at the disposal OF the committee
now amounts to about $4,000. and 1t is
earnestly desired that this sum may be
substantially increased during the time
remaining before the purchase.
