No Investigations Wanted.

At Thursdays meeting OF the Assem-
bly,, the committee appointed to invest
igate the charges against Geo. w.
Leidy reported. The report exoner-
ated the Assem- blyman, stating that
nothing OF the slightest character had
been shown in the testimony to war;
rant the charge of bribery or any other
act unbecoming a member.
Mr.. Paul OF White Pine. member of
the committee, wired from Reno, that
he would not concur in the report, but
would ask to submit minority report.
At the conclusion of the reading OF
the journal, Friday, Mr.. Paul arose and
stated that he had understood that
there had been some talk of appointing
an investigating committee to inquire
into the cause of his absence at Thurs
days session. He said he had missed
the train and it was so stated in his
telegram to the chairman of the investi-
eating committee. He did not care to
sign the majority report OF the COM
mittee, as he did not believe the charges
against Assemblyman Leidy were who'll
ly unfounded as expressed in the ma
jority report.
He then presented minority report,
which stated that while he exonerated
Mr.. Leidy from all blame in the matter
certain actions on the part Of the mem
ber warranted the investigation, and
he believed that not only Mr.. Leidy
should be exonerated, but those who
made the charges, including the Car
son News.
Mr.. Paul's report was adopted, and
the situation at present is the adoption
of the majority report as well as the
minority report, so that all parties con
cerned should be satisfied.
Mr.. Paul also introduced the follow
ing:
t'WHEREAS, we have all been shock
ed and grieved at the absence of Mr.
Gillespie without leave, at a very i'm
portant time and under very suspicious
circumstances, therefore be 1t
'Resolved, That before said Mr.
Gillespie be allowed to further partici
pate in the deliberations and proceed
ings OF this body that he be requested
and required to furnish satisfactor,
explanation OF his absence. "
Mr.. Paul moved the adoption OF tn
resolution without debate.
Mr.. Gedney moved that the resolu
tions be laid on the table. Carried an
resolution tabled. Journal.

One of McMiIlan's Charges Denied

Among the charges made by VIM.
Mcmillan in his contest against Sadler
for the Goyernorship, as published by
us two weeks ago, was one that the
election officers at the White River
precinct in Nye county got drunk on
election day and were incapacitated for
performing their duties. Where Mr..
McMillan's attorneys got their inform
alton we do not know, nor how they
expect to prove the charge, as no wit
nesses have been summoned, SO far as
we can learn, to testify at the trial
which is now in progress before the
Supreme Court at Carson.
AS the charges were published all
over the State, being copied by us from
the Virginia Enterprise, we take pleas
ure in stating that we have received a
letter from Mr.. Nj. l.. Riordan, one OF
the Judges, in which be states that
none of the Board were drunk In that
precinct on election day and he can see
no reason for mentioning that district
particularly, when every district In the
State bad more or less liquor. A siml'
lar denial has also been received from
VIM. Horton, another prominent citi.
zen of the precinct.

INDIAN MURDER IN LINCOLN.


Details of thrilling story of aboriginal
justice on the Moapa Indian reservation
in Lincoln county, have just been made
public. 1t appears that Rats, sub
chief, quarreled with his squaw, who
left him and went to the wickiup Of
Mouse Ear. Rats learned where she
was and followed her. He had a row
with Mouse Ear, during which the lat
ter killed him. Then Mouse Ear fed,
but was pursued and captured after a
two weeks chase by his tribesmen. He
was brought back to the reservation.
An offer was made to turn him over to
the officers OF Lincoln county. &The
latter we're powerless to act, they said.
Then the Indians concluded to mete out
justice themselves. They held coun-
Gil OF war, at which the decision was
that Mouse Ear must be executed, and
this by his own son. This the young
buck agreed to do. Mouse Ear was
put on horseback, and behind him, ten
ices distant, the son was stationed.
At the signal young Mouse Ear fired,
instantly killing his father. The exc
cution was followed by a pow WOW, at
which Mouse Ear Jr. was raised to the
dignity of second chief.

Utah G. Pacific Affairs.

The Salt Lake Tribune OF the Gath Of
January states that the Utah & Pacific
railroad has taken q sixty-day option
on tract OF l81 acres OF land in Los
Angeles for terminal station. That

the road across Nevada at once.
The work OF construction in Utah Is
being rapidly pushed. A new terminal
called "Lundn has been established 81
miles from Milford.
According to the Tribune, the South
ern Pacific is still fixing to make trou-
BILE, II it can, when the Nevada bound
ary is reached. That company has re-
surveyed the old grade and is said to
be proper ng to incorporate for line
in Lincoln county and to file maps OF Its
surveyed route in both Utah andl New
ada. 1t is not supposed for a moment
that they propose to build such road.
Their object is merely to block the

be forced into expensive litigation, OF
compelled to build new grade for fully
40 miles over rough country.

IS 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Pat
ent lledicine?

Sylvan Valley News, Bervard, North Carolina.
1t may he question whether the
editor OF a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the vari-
Gus proprietary medicines which food
the market. yet as a preventative of
suffering we feel it our duty to say u
good word for Chamberlain's Collie.
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine in
our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many cases
dose OF this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure,
but we do believe that If bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy was
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence ola physician would
not be required. At least this has been
our experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by G. w. Houston, at

It Was the Riaht Letter.

John was bashful lover and had
been calling on Mary for three years,
but that was as far as he got until, Wis
iting st. Louis on business, he found
himself detained beyond the expected
time.
He had to write to Mary, explaining
his absence on the usual evening, and,
while writing. the courage he had so
long lacked came to him and he made
a point blank proposal Of marriage He
mailed the letter, and for two hours
was one of the happiest men in Mis-.
souri,.
Then he began to believe he had been
precipitate and was assailed with doubt
as to how his letter would be received.
That night he didn't sleep. He thought
all sorts of things, and vainly wished
he could intercept the letter before il
reached her. But that was manifestly
impossible.
1t was not until noon the next day
that he received an inspiration as he
was passing telegraph Office. Rushing
in, he seized blank and nervously
penned the following:
Miss Mary -, Chicago:
Mailed you wrong letter yesterday Please
do not open, and deliver to me on my return.
After that he breathed freer. at the
same time wondering if he hadn't
played the fool in not letting the mat
ter stand. That evening telegram was
awaiting him at the hotel. 1t read
John -, st. Louis:
No; you mailed right letter. 1t was about
time.
And John didn't allow business to
interfere with his return to Chicago.

NO DAMAGES FOR AUSTRIA.
The Hazleton Jury settled the Riot Claim.

The Hazleton Jury settled the Riot Claim.
Says Uncle sam.
VIENNA, July 1.-THE United States
government has declined the proposals
OF the government Of Austro- Hungary
to arbitrate the claims for damages arts
ing from the death of Austro- Hungarian
subjects during the riots at Hazleton,
Pa, in September, 1897.
WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE officials
here confirm the advices from Vienna
that plan of arbitration, proposed as
means of settling claims growing out of
the Hazleton Pa, riots, had been re-
jected by the United States. This prob
ably disposes of the matter, according
TO the view held here, as it has run the
entire gamut of diplomatic negotiations
and all of the plans Of settlement, in
Guiding the last one of arbitration, have
come to naught. At the outset the state
department called the matter to the at
tention of the governor Of Pennsylvania,
who i'll turn awaited the action of the
jury at Hazleton which tried the sheriff
on the charge of murder. The jury ac-
quilted the sheriff, whereupon the
Pennsylvania authorities held chat they
could not recognize a responsibility
which jury had held did not exist.
The state department took similar
view, whereupon Austro-H Hungary pro-
posed arbitration of the claims. 1t is
said this last proposal which is rejected,
seems to close the matter, as the
claims are hardly considered Of suffi-
Gent Importance to justify Austro-
Hungary to go beyond the diplomatic
representations she has. already made.

THE POOR SALESMAN.
One of the Ways He Is Tortured by
ExnctinE Shoppers.


On the shelves of nearly every dry
goods store in the city are rolls of goods
which have been hauled off the shelves
from one TO dozen times day to be
exhibited to possible purchasers. The
eSacting shoppers have become firmly
convinced that such exhibitions of the
open ends of rolls cause them to become
shcpworn. The result is they ask the
clerk to cut their order from the inside
end. This means the unrolling of the
entire bolt for possible three-quarter
yard purchase, but it has to be done.
A fashlonably dressed woman stepped
into one of the Nicollet avenue stores
the other day and asked to be shown
some ginghams. On the shelves was a
brand new stock of ginghams which
had just the night before been taken
from the boxes in which they were
shipped from the factory. They hadn' t
been shown to any one except possibly
the buyers down east, and then these
particular pieces had not been exhibit
ed. Bolt after bolt was shown to the
shopper, and finally zhe picked upon a
particularly nice new piece Of pink
Bingham at 20 cents a yard.
1T looks little shopworn, she re-
marked as she began to tumble with
her purse catch.
ut can't be, /" replied the obliging
clerk. 1T just last night came cut of
the box from which it came from the
factory.
"Well, I'd prefer it if you would cut
it from the other end. -
The clerk groaned inwardly, but pro.
ceeded to unrofl the 80 or 40 yards Of
Bingham.
Glow much?" he asked as he took
his scissors from his vest pocket.
1.-TWO yards. .
His scissors snapped viciously as they
clipped off the goods, and the tone in
which he called the cashboy was not of
the gentlest, but the shopper, at least.
was satisfied. Minneapolis Journal.
