Insulting Joarnals.

The Reno Journal and Gazette have
insinuated that the members elect of
the legislature who will not express
themselves as opposed to the lottery
amendment, have been bribed to vote
for such a measure. These insults
may go all right with some members
but If we are not mistaken the effort
of the Reno press will work as BOOM
erang in many cases. There are many
people in this state who desire to vote
on lottery question and why the die
tates of one or two papers should be
needed is not easy to understand. The
people have a right to vote on any
question necessitating change in the
constitution and the efforts OF these
papers to jam legislature into not al
lowing them TO vote on this measure
would indicate that they have been in
structed to pursue this course, even to
the insulting Of every member who
does not bow the knee TO the man who
controls their policies.-Lyon County

out. That Ben Hendricks is this,
those who have been lucky enough to
hear him testify, and we are a very
fortunat people when we are enabled to
witness a play like this one. The
quartet Of female voices is alone worth
the price of admission. The audience
will laugh as they never laughed be-
fore at the many and varied complica-
tions from which Ole has to extricate
himself. There are some plays that
never grow old to the public and we
believe Ole Olson is one Of these. The

BISHOP GRANT HEARD FROM.
Discourse on Hotels and the Negro's
 Admission Thereto.

Charlottesville ind, Sept. 4.-Bishop Abraham Grant of Indianapolis address ing the Indiana annual conference of the African M. E. Church today, charged that the manager of the New York bank, in making his protest against being placed in a hotel with Bishops Arnett, Tanner, Gaines and Derrick and other colored people who are attending thse Ecumen- ical conference in London, had said
 "When the Europeans get to know the negro as we know him, they will curtail his privileges
 cording to Bishop Grant. that a negro would not be allowed in hotels in Amer ica where whites are accommodated.
 The Bishop stated that ''one of these men exposed his ignorance and the other misrepresented his country" for he Cthe bishop) knew the States of In- dians Pennsylvania, Illinois, Iowa and as for as California; he had stopped at hotels where any other respectable man could stop who would pay his bills The bishop claimed there were more black people under the English flag than under any other flag in the world.
 Bishop Grant said he would not go abroad and hold up the faults of his na- ton to strangers and to that extent he felt he was better American citizen than any man who would go into a for eien country ard misrepresent his own by making such false statements. for fbere were twenty States in this Union where any respectable man of any color couId stop in d tirst-class hotel if he wished and would behave himself"

FOUGHT IN THE JAIL
JAMES HOWARD WOUNDS CALEB
 POWERS.
Two Men Convicted of Goebe1 Murder Conspirators ouarreled Over Division of Money Collected
 for Their Defense.

Frankfort, Ky, Sept. 4.-James Howard and ex-Secretary of State Caleb Powers convicted as Goebei murder conspIrators quarreled in jaits here this afternoon. Howard threw heavy ink sta'd at Pow CTS, striking him on the heal Powers was knocked oyer. and bled profuseiy. :,
 Drs Demares and Grutoher dressed tue wound. They remained with Powers over an hour.
 The only witness was ex-Adjt Gen J. K. Dixon, who was in conference with the two men. Powers was too ill tonight to be seen, Howard, on the advice of his attorneys, refused to talk. Towards new trial begins here next Monday.
 Powers was unconscious for thtrty-five minutes, and 1t was at first thought his skull had been fractured, but ur. De- maree said late tonight that he could not find any evidence of fracture. He re- mained with the patient till late hour. Symptoms of concussio1 developed and a slight paralysis of the left arm and the side appeared. Dr. Demaree would not state how serious he thought the wound might prove, but intimated that he con- sidered his condition serious.
 Col. J. K. Dixon, Assistant Adjutant- General under the administration of for mer Governor Taylor. who had just re- turned from Eastern Kentucky, where he collected considerable money for the defense of both Powers and Howard, was in the room with the men at the time of the trouble.
 A controversy between the two men arose as to the division of the money. Both grew angry and Howard seized an iron ink stand and hurled 1t at Powers with terrific force. Powers was struck on the side of the head just above the partial bone. A branch of the temple ar tery was severed and a gash of four inches laid open.
 Both men have been in jail over a year and they have apparently been the best of friends. Howard, talking to Col. Dix on afterward, expressed deep regret that the affair had occurred.

SECRECY WAS OBSERVED
Rum0red That SchWab Made
 Known His Terms.
Uneasiness Prevails in the Ranks of the Strikers at Pittsburg, But Leaders Say They Are
 Satisfied.

New York, Sept 4.-The terms of peace in the steel strike were discussed at length today at a secret conference be- tween officials of the United States Steel Corporation, leaders of union labor and representatives of the civic organizations which have intervened. Unusual safe guards of secrecy were resorted to in or der to preserve the privacy of the pro- ceedings, but it was evident that no con- clusion was reached and that the de- cision either to terminate or continue the strike must be made by the strikers. It is believed the labor leaders possessed an outline of terms from President Shaf- fer and that they will place before him and his associates the terms re-submitted by President Schwab of the United States Steel Corporation.
 The participants in the conference were President c. M. Schwab, of the United States Steel Corporation; President W. B. Corey of the Carnegie Steel Company; Weryl Preston of the United States Steel Corporation; President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor; President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers Association; Secretary Harry White of the Garment Makers Association; Professor Jenks of the In- dustriaI Commission, and Ralph M. Eas- ley, Secretary If the National Civic Fed eration.
 Nothing Was Accomplished.
 The session lasted continuously for more than six hours. One of the steel officials made this statement: Nothing was accomplished by the conference. The strike is in just the same position as 1t was before the conference was held. Flu ture action is for the strikers. do not know of anything that is to be done. The Steel Corporation has restated it's ~Aoxstion and the men themselves must elect what they will do." ...,.,,,. .t,r-
