Wetmer the people of this city owe a last
ing debt Of gratitude not only for his Won
derful success in healing the sick and dis
tressed, but for his generous and open
handed charity
Resolved, That we have ever found in
him the highest type of a citizen, broad
and progressive liberal in his views a
good and kind neighbor a man of peace,
with world Of charity toward all mankind,
and is. in our estimation. one of the bright
and gifted men Of The century.
Resolved That this great magnetic
school and saBjtarium is a credit TO any
city, and the high moral plan upon which
it is conducted is worthy Of all praise. We
know personally al the officers, the pro-
fessors and attendants. both men and
women, and they stand well in this com
munity. We can youch for their high
moral character. and their faith in the
svocation in which they are engaged. And
as such we, the members Of this club and
citizens OF Nevada, unqUaiiiedly endorse
this institution. not only TO the people of
our own State. but 10 the world"
These resolutions. being passed by
body of men whose character and integ-
rity cannot be successfully assatled, can
no longer leave doubt in our minds. We
must now accept Weltmerism as the cura-
i've power OF ihe IQIufe- Inc many lnCu-
sands Of tests that have been made proves
that Weltmerism is not an accident, but
science. and in a scientific manner re-
lieyes all pains and cures all diseases.
The American School Of Magnetic Healing
have in their possession thousands OF tes-
umonials from men and women who tes-
ufy that they owe their very lives 10
Weltmerism, as through this wonderful
power they have been cured of diseases
that physicians have pronounced hopeless.

been considerable talk as to whom Gov

cancy. The only ones prominently men
toned are ex-senator Allen and G. NJ
Hitchcock, editor of the Omaha World

appointment of the latter on the ground
that they have not received their pro-
portion of the officers under the fusion
deals of the past few years They also
urge that the next legislature which
must permanently fill the vacancy Will

supplemented by kilograms from the
POpulist and Free Silver Senators from

Chairman of the Indianapolis Com
mittee Endorses Financial Bills.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Mr. H. H.
Hanna, chairman of the Indianapolis
monetary committee. speaking today of
the financial bills before congress, said:
The bills prepared by the Repubh-
can senate finance committee and the
caucus committee of the Republicans
of the house have so much that is COM
prehensive of the needs for eliminating
all doubt as to gold being the standard
and unit of value of our monetary syS-
tenn that it is wise to encourage the
passage of these bills by the respective
houses and remove all suggestions for
additions or changes until the cOnferes
of the two houses take up the subject.
The bills are splendid expressions of
the purpose to fulfill the pledge for
gold standard legislation and should
greatly encourage the people to believe
that all proper revision of our none
tary laws is possible of accomplish
ment Both bills contain provision for
gold reserves and their maintenance
The gold reserve provided by the sena-
tors is ample for maintaining the in
terchangeabiIity of all government
moneys and the changes in denOmina-
tiOns of paper currency are safe and
important aids to its feasible and en-
tire accomplishment. If such full in
terchangea bility can be concluded it
would perfect the establishment of a
gold standard beyond risk of change
except by the deliberate action of the
law making government"

FOR HO NUNS DEATH
The Chinese and Portuguese Govern

San Francisco, Dec. THE Chinese
and Portuguese governments, through
their local consuls, will join in a claim
against the United States and J. r.
Dunn, chief of the Chinese bureau, for
$50 600 as compensation for the death
of Ho Nun, a native of Portugal and
subject of China. The complaint,
which will be filed at once with ColIec-
tor of Customs Jackson, recites that
Ho Nun died by reason of the negligent
treatment of the United States govern
ment, through its agent, J. R. Dunn. 1t
is alleged that he declined to allow He
Nun to have medical attention, though
Collector Jackson had issued an order
authorizing a doctor to see the patient.
The case proceeds under the treaty of
1894 based on the convention of 1880.
Direct charges against Dunn will be
sent to Collector Jackson and Secretary
Gage. Ho Nun was in this port, an ap-
plicant for admission, when he was
taken sick.

Little Rock. Ark, Dec. IA stir has
come in Arkansas political circles by
the announcement today that Govern
ment Jones, who IS a candidate for the
United States senate to succeed Sena-
tor Berry, has come out strongly in
favor of expansion. He has heretofore
been an opponent of that policy. along
with Senator Berry, who is a candidate
for reelection. Governor Jones stated
in an interview that the only salvation
for the southern states is in the expan-
sion of commerce by the opening of
new markets in Asia for southern pro-
ducts. and that in order to maintain
and protect such commerce the Philip
pines must be retained by the United
States. Governor Jones attitude makes
expansion the predominant issue in the
