with Lead and Line" a book of
verse by Charles Henry Webb (John
PAUL.. As indicated in the title, the
lines are cast along varying shores
in almost every mood Some soft
and sweet from among the violets
along hidden brooks where love
breathes its potent spell, some from
the crest of the wave where dancing
melody leaps and bounds in mad de-
light. Then anon comes the sad re-
frain from the realms of silence
where the tear of sorrow dims the
lights along the shore. In the book
is something for every mood. 1t is
by the same author as "Nagrom
Verse" which has enjoyed the high
est communication of eminent men
of letters. Published by HoughtOn,

means a fight No one who witness
ed the scene in the senate
doubted that the South Carolina
senator's were angry, and there is no
doubt that Senator McLaurin utter
ed the challenge in the hope that
Senator Tillman would accept it, for
he comes from n fighting family.
But Senator Tilluan gave no sign
that he had heard the words of his
fiery political opponent.
McLaurin's friends are anxious to
bet that Tillman won't fight, and
Tillman's friends are saying that
McLaurin only fights on the floor of
the senate. The matter came up
when McLaurin rose to n question
of privilege because a newspaper
had said that he could not get into
the democratic caucus. He proceed
ed to point out that the other demo-
cratic senators had left the demo-
cratic party. not him. He seoffed at
the policy of the party for the last
half dozen years, which had been to
wrap itself up, he declared. in Preju-

and called on his colleague to again
resign so that they could appeal to
their constituents. While he was
talking. Senator Lodge moved that

Harmony for Democracy.

Democratic senators at Washing

ton we'll as party principle. They
Will protest earnestly against the
proposed plan of the republican lead
ers to reduce their representation on
the committee on claims. irrigation
and commerce. They have no OBJ
lection TO the republicans increasing
their own membership on all the sen
ate committees so long as they leave
democratic representation untouch-
ed but they have strong objections
to any plan which will tend to lessen
democratic prestige in committee
work. The attitude of the minority
was clearly defined in Il resolution
which was unanimously adopted by
the democratic caucus yesterday af-
ternoon. The caucus was called by
Senator Jones and was the first meet
ing of democratic senators that has
been held to discuss party questions
since the opening of the fifty-seventh
congress

popalist and silver republican par
ties. including Senators Heitfield and
Dubois of Idaho. Harris of Kansas,
Teller of Colorado and Gibson and
Clark of Montana. McLaurin of
South Carolina was not present. how
ever. Senator Jones had received
notice from Senator Plat. chairman
of the committee of republicans
which has been delegated to select
the committees, that the republicans
would take care of McLaurin's as
signments. This notice was accept
ed by the democratic caucus as
concession by McLaurin that hereaf-

publican senators.
An informal discussion of the Hay

tacit agreement that the democrats

makes some mistakes which depress

CONCERNING TRIB.
a State nent From the proprieto

We coined the word, Trlb, our trade
mark which appears upon the liable of
each bottle of liniment.
Our products is a combination Of
various substances. some of which are
common drugs. We do not further
state the sources, or methods of OBJ
tanning and preparing, the ingredients.
A portion Of the combination is to be
kept secret at present. We say this
for the benefit of inquirers. Trlb has
already been used successfully in
more than ten thousand cases in Ne
vada. No injury has occurred in any
case. We offer our record. Those
who use Trib (including some physic-
ians Of the best standing) are satisfied
We do not recommend Trlb to be
taken inwardly. Though it contains
no narcotics; we offer it for outward
use only. 1t may be used for sprains,
bruises, stiffness of muscles, and SINH
lar ailnent. and for relief in some
cases Of rheumatism:
For chilblans. chafings and blisters;
and for the relief of hives
For frost-bites. and for burns and
scalds where the exposed surface is
not so great as to make the use Of a
liniment dangerous:
For insect bites and stings. for thorn
wounds, and for sores. v3e
Many cyclers. some athletes and
some pugilists have used Trib success
fully. Those who know best do not
"bathe" in it. even when using It as a
rub-down-they just rub little into the
skin-rub till dry-perfectly dry--and
leave it so.
Trib Is sold by druggists. or we send
two ounces for 25c. six for soc, or 2
pint { l6 OF. for a dollar
We shall be pleased to answer all
further questions asked in good faith

THE EXCURSIONISTS.

Now the rush is over and the expec-
tations of what it would be have
passed. The trains came thick and
fast on Tuesday, the only day that
over five excursion trains passed
There were about 35 excursion trains
all told. Trainmaster Smith success
fully managed to keep all traffic steadi-
ly rolling as fast as it came this way.
while Master Mechanic Pratt had the
motive power in fine condition to
handle the trains in good shape
The people about town turned out
largely to greet the strangers. some
for what amusement they could obtain
and some for a cordial greeting The
leaguers seemed to be delighted to
furnish and receive sudh amusement
as was afforded, and all was
passed agreeably with some slight
exceptions, caused by some being
a little "raw' in their joshing
This should have been "cut out as

should be remembered by the thought-
less that it is always best to have the
travelling public speak well Of our
people, our town and our State. We are
not speaking Of anythingwhich happened
that was o. serious nature, we are
simply mentioning 1t in a general way
Many Of the eastern people inagihe
that the Nevada people are somewhat
iof a rough class. Have they any
reason for this idea? Probably not.
Can we do anything to despoil such an
inpressiona We say yes. There Is
no medium published that could help
the fair name Of Nevada as much as
our people who visit the trains could
do. Nevada people are as interesting
and can furnish as much Information
about their State as any class Of peo-
pie. The travelling public always
seek Information, and it is every cit
liens duty to civlly furnish It to the
best OF his ability. We believe that II
the people all along the line Of the
railroad would adhere to this practice
it would greaty'encourage the seekers
of information who have objects in
view for so doing. 1t would also assist
the passenger traffic, because the peo-
pie who haye passed this way would
then tell their friends all they had been
told and the pleasant manner in which
Nevadan's had treated them.
