THE ROLL OF HONOR.
The List of the Men and Women and
Business Houses Which Sub
scribed to the Cement b.
Works Fund.

In the agreement which the Com
mercial club made with the Cement
Works people to induce them to 10
cate here one clause stated that the
Company should drill IA well and if
they failed to get gas the citizens of
lola would agree to sink we'll and
give them gas. The first well was
drilled by the Cement Co. on land
south of town and unfortunately no
gas was found. The question was
then up to the people of the city to
make good the promise made for
them by the Commercial Club. Pa
pers were circulated and subscrip-
tions asked and the following people,
subscribing each according to his
means, have guaranteed the 81 800

Serious Gun Shot Wound.

BY the accidental discharge of
gun in the hands of his brother, Ernst
Birdseil was seriously wounded in
the leg Tuesday morning The accident
occurred about O'Clock at the home
of the family over the Cheap Charley
store on the north side where Mr..
BlrdseIl, senior, works. The boys,
Ernest and Walter, were arranging
to go hunting and had their double
barrelled shot guns in the front room
up stairs, making final eparations
for setting out. Walter was sitting
in q chair with his gun across his
knees. He cooked one barrel and
primed it and cooked the other, but
as he reached around to get n gun cap
Off of the dresser, Ernest walked di-
rectly in front of him. While Walter
had his face turned, looking for the
cap, the gun in his hand went off, and
the charge of large duck shot passe :
through the calf of the left leg of his
brother. The wound is frightful
one, as the shot tore the bones of the
leg completely apart. The fracture is
about six inches below the knee and
the fiat bone, the tibia is cut clear in
two. Drs. Fulton and Morgan were
summoned and put the youth under
the influence of chloroform. Tn
wound was cleaned and dressed and
the doctors will make valiant effort
to save the limb, giving the bone a
chance to re-knit.
Ernest has only been in lola few
weeks, having recently returned from
Mexico and his mother in brief re-
lapse from her courageous fortitude
tearfully said "he was such good
boy" There is little danger of the
boy losing his life, and the many
friends of the family hope that his
youth may insure perfect recovery
from the wound.

No doubt the above will he read

settlers of lola, and especially by the

The Episcopal church was crowded
to its utmost capacity this afternoon
with sympathizng friends who had
gathered to pay the last tribute Of re-
spect to the memory Of Mrs. James
Adams, one OF Elko's noblest women.
The procession from the residence to
the church was headed by a large
delegation Of the Ratbbone Sisters
and Woman's Guild, of both of which
the deceased was an .honored menu
Der. The casket was borne into the
church by six pail bearers, members
OF the local Knights of Pythias
Lodge. AS the procession entered
the church the congregation arose
and remained standing until the re-
latlves and friends we're seated.
Rev. George F. Plummer impress
sively rendered the Episcopal burial
ser 'ice, the choir sang appropriate
hymns and then the mortal remains
OF her whom everybody respected and
WIN DOAAO ~ buc u6dr56 ana
taken to che Masonic cemetery where
the last sad rites we're performed.
The casket enclosing the remains
was almost hidden by beautiful and
appropriate floral pieces. The wealth
OF flowers and beautiful designs
mutely testified to the love and affec-
ton Of children and friends for her
who was cold and stiff IN death. She
had the unbounded respect and love
OF all while living and all sorrowed
at her death.
The remains were followed to the
cemetery by one Of the largest funer-
al professions ever seen in Elko.
Though Mrs. Adams sleeps in the
cold embrace in of death, the lowell
ness of her character and the beauty
OF her Life will long remain a pleas
ant memory to all who knew her.
May she sweetly sleep until the sum.
mons come on the resurrection morn
and may the beauty Of her life and
character be priceless heritage to
her mourning relatives and friends.
May God in his goodness deal gently
with them.

Well, what are you going to do
about it, you Republicans of Nevada.
who at the last presidential election
said you believed Mckinley "would
do something" for silver? He has
done it. He has now thrown off the
mask OF international bimetallism, in
which you all seemed to place go
much confidence, and has declared
that the Republican party is for the
gold standard. He has done some
thing for silver that he expects and
hopes will forever drive that metal
out OF existence as money metal,
and which will continue to keep DOR
mant one Of the greatest industries
OF the country, and whereby the mon
led men OF the country can control
the entire purchasing commodity Of

Since the late message of Mark

about the attitude OF the Republican
party towards the silver question. His
advice to Congress is to further fas.
ten the gold standard upon tho Unit
ed States. There is not even the old
worn.out hedge OF an international
agreement thrown out TO the silver
men this year. The challenge is
clear and straight. To be a good Re.

that even intimates that silver will be
given any recognition whatever by
the Republicans. The silver mining
