The many Loyelock friends Of Dis

Of Washoe County are quite jubilant
over his election.
1t Is said that a certain literary
gentleman Of Lovelock got a Republi-
can sack of 5000 to use to defeat Pitt
on election day but he wisely kept it to
use in extending his literary bureau to
Reno.
In the last issue Of the Tribune Mr..
Sain gleefully states that MIR. w. P.
Colvin has returned from Colorado to
make investments here. He says that
Mr.. Colvin was the first one to 60 into
Cottonwood when that camp began to
attract attention as a copper section.
MIR. Colvin's first visit to this country
was about two years ago. It Is over
thirty years since Cottonwood began to
attract attention as a copper section.
The late D. C. Mckinney and Hon.
Thos. Wren shipped several carloads
Of copper ore from Cottonwood in
1870, but Mr.. Sain likes to toady to the
Colvins and their Tx who never bought
so much as a cigar from US, but has
not a word to- say for our citizens.
Schweitzer and Boyer, for instance,

They shipped a carload Of lumber yes

for the use Of their employees. A
company that looks to the welfare OF
their men should be encouraged by the
community in which they are living.
Mr. Schweitzer informs your cores

work in the mine the wages would be

On all occasions when the subjec,
came up for discussion Mr.. Chickering
denounced the hilarious iunketing in
dulged in by congressman on funeral
committees, and he often declared
that if he should die, while member
of the house of representatives, he
would want no junketing at his funer-
al. His wife saw enough of the hollow
ness of this congressional mockery;
and it is to her eternal honor as q
wife, and to her everlasting credit as
an American woman of the highest
type, that she carried out the wishes
of her deceased husband, and also
demonstrated her own individual con-
tempt for the mockery of an ostenta-
ton of unreal woe.
It is fortunate for the country that
there have arisen time and a person
to stop this ghoul-like performance.
Mrs. Chickering has established pre-
cedent which ought to stand forever

DEATH OF MAUD S.
Famous TrOtter Long Known as the
Queen of the Turf Is No
More.

New York, March 19.-Old Maud S.
is dead. The grand old trotting mare,
aged rs years, passed away at the farm
of John H. Schults, near Port Chester.
Saturday, and she is to have funeral
such as becomes an animal of her
breeding, station and performances.
She was queen of the trotting turf in
the days of the high-wheel sulky, and
no horse hitched to the style of vehicle
has ever beaten her record of 2:OS%
on regulation track. Alix (2:03A J.,
Nancy Hanks (2:O4), Director (2:O5A),
Arion (2:07A), and others have done
wonders with the pneumatic sulky, and
have .monopolized the attention of the
latter-day devotees of harness racing,
but the old-timers refuse to admit their
performances were greater than that
of Maud S. Her owner, the late Robert
Bonner, maintained until the last that
she was the greatest trotter that ever
put foot on track.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, her owner, sold
Maud S. to his friend, Robert Bonner,
for $4,000, knowing she would always
be accorded the best of treatment, and
never allowed to race for money. She
was put in the hands of w. w. Bair,
who reduced her record to 2:09%. Then
the late John Murphy took her and she
did still better, trotting mile in 2:O9A
at Lexington, and later in 2:OSA at
Cleveland. Maud S. was retired abso-
lutely in 1886.

ALL NEWS SHUT OUT.
Rev. SheldOn's Last Issue of Topeka
Capital Filled Mainly with
Bible Quotations.

Topeka. Kan, March 19.-The Sun
day edition of the Capital contained
not a line of news. Eight pages con-
stitute the paper, four being filled
with quotations from and stories OF
the Bible. The first page leader is the
sermon on the mount from the re-
vised version. Following this are Is
columns of Bible quotations on the
subjects of usury, the Sabbath, money
and riches, marriage, wealth, the evil
of drink, war and the future, in the
order named. Then comes a Bible
history of four columns from the
earliest manuscripts to the latestar
vision. One-half column Of editorial
and some short Bible stories fill out
the four pages. 4n . -
The future policy of the Capital
will be along the lines suggested by
Mr.. Sheldon, although, of course, the
paper will be newsy. The details for
conducting the new Capital have not
yet been worked out, but the plan
probably will be agreed upon and an
nounced after the meeting of the di-
rectors to-day.

Killed by Dynamite.

Axel Cederberg was killed by dy-
Mantle explosion in St. Paul, and his
brother Charles, narrowly escaped
death. The men were engaged in heat
ing a dynamite stick to be used in
blowing out stump, which was in
the way of their excavation. They
built a small fire and placed in it sew
eral pieces of rock. On top they laid
a piece of sheet iron, and on this,
buried in the small heaps of sand,
they placed the dynamite. At last he
informed his brother that all was in
readiness and took the dynamite from
the sand. But the explosive was
warmer than he thought, and the
stick burned his hand and he dropped
it, causing a terrible explosion.
Alex was blown ten feet and in.
stantly killed, while Charles was bad.

all over the Midway district.

A CAPABLE CAPITOL GUIDE,
Group of siEhtseers i'm the Low
CIR House Gallery.

Many stories, some doubtless the
work of the imagination, are told Of
the guides in the national capitol. Oc-
casionally a new guide is installed,
however, who feels it incumbent to
earn his tips. One of these, recently
graduated from civil service exam
ination, and still an applicant for pro-
motion in the classified service, had
party in tow few days ago. Point
ing out desk in the lower house he
said:
THAT was the desk of Hon. Sockless
Simpson. He was the only congress-
man who didn't wear socks. and the
reason was, so I am told, not because
he didn't have any, but because he used
to keep en- in his desk"
Asked about a certain member, he
replied: THAT is Hon. William Astor
Chanler, one of the Astors, and hus-
band of celebrated woman who
wrote a novel called Are You Alive or
Dead" He married her while he was
travelling in Egypt studying the Spin
mex"
(Which is Mr.. Jefferson Levy?"
asked one of the group. The guide
picked him out and said:
"That's him writing. He gives
dances and Picnics at Mounty Cello.
which he owns. He is kept pretty busy
writing passes for people who want to
visit his possessions, which descended
to him from Mr.. Thomas Jefferson.
who hitched his horse to one of the
pillows of the capitol when he was
Exaggerated PRESIDENT
Then he pointed out a spot over on
the democratic side and said: ''That's
where Congressman Roberts stood
when he made his speech. He tried to
break into the capitol with his three
wives, who were up in the gallery
when he was doing the speaking act
on the floor. They let his wives in
that day when women who didn't have
but one husband, and some who didn't
have any, couldn't even get standin'
ROOM"
'Who is in the chair?" asked one of
the young women in the group.
The guide strained his eyes a mo-
ment and replied: 'Blest if I know
that guys name, but it amt Hender
son. When Henderson's in the chair
things are quiet as a lot of mice in
the house. But when Dave wants to
take a smoke or something, and let
the congressman have it kind O. free
and easy, he calls somebody to take
his seat that the congressman can have
fun WITH
''Who is Dave?' asked one of the
group.
''Why, the speaker. We all call him
Dave"
All this is vouched for by one of
the group who paid the tip.-N. Y.

The IN 1u l Growing Active and Ma

some Center In the Situation.

Manila, March 19.-Gen. Otis con-
siders Manila the most troublesome
center IN the situation to-day The in
surgent lunta here, in conjunction with
that IN Hong-Kong, is growing active.
The military authorities have been
forced to put stop to Mabini's inter
course with the public The local and
foreign press considers his recent ut
terances calculated to incite the Fill
plnos to continued revolt and preju-
dicial to American control.
Reports are current here of active
rebel organization in the province OF
Morong, where the insurgent leaders
are said to be assisted by prominent
Spanish residents. Inhabitants of this
province who are now in Manila have
been advised not to return to their
homes, but to remain under the protec.
ton of the Americans. It is also re.
ported that the rebels are reorganizine
in the province of Zambales, under Mas.
cardo.
In the province of Albay the insur.
gents have ceased harassing the
Americans, owing, it is reported, to a
lack of ammunition, but they continue
ravaging the country by burning and
looting. The natives are firing of this
sort of thing and threaten to turn
against the marauders. Already the
townspeople of Legaspi, Albay and
Donzol are slowly returning to their
homes.
Gen. Kobbe has opened 20 ports in the
southern part of Luzon and in the is
lands of Samar and Leyte, the result OF
which is to stimulate trade there, al.
though only temporarily, as the coun.
try opened is nonproductive and appar.
emily nonconsuming. Owing to the po.
litical conditions of the last 10 months
products accumulated during the
blockade. These will be shipped to Ma.
Mia and then the ports will be empty.

so does the appropriation
called 1.-The contingent fund of the
senate"
Out OF that fund the sergeant-at-
arms OF the senate pays for wine,
WHISKY, apollinaris water, cigars, cabs,
carriages, funerals and all sorts Of
things which do not go into the daily
public records, but which are neces-
sarily shown in the annual reports of
the secretary of the senate
The sergeant-at-arms is the execu-
tive officer of the senate, and it is his
duty to anticipate and minister to the
wants OF the American house of
lords. The secretary is the disbursing
officer of the senate, and it is his duty
to keep an accurate account of all
moneys disbursed by him. Conse-
quently, when the annual report of
the secretary is compiled and pub
hshed, all of these things are dis
closed. But, as matter of fact, not
one man out of ten thousand ever
reads the report. Newspaper men are
too busy to scan it closely. Therefore
the multitude Of sins committed un-
der the cover of "the contingent fund
OF the senate" remains hidden from
the knowledge of the people.
The annual reports for the past
ten years show that comparatively lit
tie money has been expended for in
toxicating liquors. But out of this
fund thousands Of dozens of lemons,
and many crosses of mineral water
are bought. So that, when the senate
is in session during the spring and
summer months, there is always a
large bowl of lemonade constantly
available in each of the senate cloak
rooms. Also, pitchers of lemonade are
prepared for all of the committee
rooms. Plain people employed by the
senate are able to exist on plain
water, but their fellow citizens who
are called senators must have lux
uries, of which lemonade is only an
illustration. They have quinine, soap,
cologne, pocket knives, manicure sets,
and almost everything conceivable of
that nature for which the senators
ought to pay out Of their own pockets.
In the house Of representatives
there is also a contingent fund, but
the fund is generally used for legiti-
mate purposes, in the nature of actual
contingent expenses which cannot be
foreseen when the general appropria-
ton bills are prepared and adopted.

tary corps of the city, has been re
ceived at the war department. It shows
the population of the city proper, not
including the suburbs or the residents
of households. converts or seminaries,
to be, approximately, 10000. The work
of enumeration was exceedingly diff.
cult, the natives showing a strong dis
like to answering questions, and the
census is therefore not as accurate, as
it might be.

THE FUNERAL TRAIN,

The only abuse of the contingent fund
of the house Cor, the most notable one)
is in the disbursement of extraordi-
nary sums of money for the expenses
of the funerals of Representatives who
die during their terms Of Office. This
subject is brought to the attention of
the writer at this time, and conse-
quently to the attention of the read
ing public, because of the sudden
death of Congressman Chic]1ering, of
New York, and the noble action of his
widow.
Congressman Chickering had been a
member of the national house of rep
resentatives for seven years when his
dead body was found on the pavement
in New York city, in front of his ho-
tel. It is generally supposed that he
fell out of the window of his bedroom,
or that he leaped forth to death. He
had been in poor health for more than
a year, and was known to be exceed
ingly depressed concerning his physi-
cal condition. However, be that as it
may, the manner of his death, or its
cause, need not be discussed here and
now. The subsequent action of his
wife is the subject to which attention
is being invited.
Immediately after the public an
nouncement1 of the death of the con-
gresham, in the senate and house of
representatives, committees of those
bodies we're appointed to attend his
funeral, ostensibly to show to his
neighbors and friends the esteem in
which he had been held by the con-
gress. The sergeant-at-arms of the
senate and the sergeant-at-arms of
the house made preparations for a
funeral train to bear the congression-
al Joint committee to the scene of the
funeral. Their preparations were cut
short, however, by the decision of
Mrs. Chickering that no congressional
committee would be desired by her OF
by the other members of the family
Congressman Chickering was a very
popular member of the house of rep
resentatives. The announcement of
his death caused sincere sorrow to
those of his colleagues who knew him,
and he was well known to almost
every man in public life. But con-
rressional committee could not have
honestly shown respect and esteem
for him, unless the members Of tho
committee had departed from the GUS
tom which has prevailed Of late years.
