dispatches have been sent by General
'Corbin since that date and the delay
in their delivery is astonishing, even
with the strange conditions which
have existed in China Like the Con-
ger dispatches, the one from General
Chaffee is undated. The only expla-
nation that can be made as to this
lack of dates is that the dispatches
have been butchered en- route, prob
ably ON the way through China.

'sThe gods help those who help them
selves" was the old pagan adage, and
the saying was probably based upon
experience. Those who help them.
selves will find help. That experience
has been repeated just recently. Al
buquerque ladies had the energy to
organize library, and kept IT, soi1a
for some time. It is now kept " on
broader scale. The sacrifice and
labor involved in maintaining the in
stitution is now repaid by the good
deed OF our fellow townsman. Joshua
s. Reynolds, who has given the Albu-
querque library a property worth $751;
900. There is condition that the
citizens must raise $1,000 worth of
books. but that certainly is not hard
to do. Had there been no organized
library Albuquerque would not likely
have received building free.
The moral is this: Las Vegas peo-
pie should take an active interest in
getting the public library into active
operation. There are many interest
ed, who bid the enterprise god speed;
let everyone help financially-even
just little it may be, monthly, and
We can have a good library. with good
-
Las Vegas will be in shape to expect
help as to building or permanent en-
downment for the library. Mr.. Ray
nolds may prove just as generous to-
ward his home town as toward Albu-
querque, while others may be found
who will be just as public spirited.
Push the library!

East Bond Business.

Word reached salt Lake last night Of

No. crashed into a freight train at
the point named at $40 o'clock
No one was killed or seriously in
jured but the wreck was such a bad
one that the passenger train, which was
due in at an early hour last night, fail
ed to get through at all. Further than
this, the Western people, it is stated,
fearing that they would not be able to
handle their east bound business this
morning, arranged to have the Union
Pacific take care Of their passengers at
ogden.
The point where the wreck occurred
is inaccessible to telegraph facilities. 1t
is reported that great damage was done
to the passenger train while freight
cars were piled in heap Of promiscu-
Gus wreckage in every direction. Hours

trains and it is likely that the through
passenger due here this morning viii
also be indefinitely delayed.
Those who knew about the wreck

was drawn from out Of town sources
and it was stated that the fact that nc
casualties occurred was one Of those
