DEATH OF MRs. JOHN ID. FORD.
She Passed Away at Salt Lake City
ON January 25.

Mrs j. ID. Ford, whose serious illness at
Salt Lake City was mentioned in the SEN
LINEL last week, died there on January
25. The deceased was formerly a resident
Of Eureka, where she conducted the Col
onade Hotel for a number of years, and
the following tribute to her memory,
which appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune,
will be Endorsed by all who knew her here:
Mrs. Ford was a noble woman. Had
she been a man she would have been a
power among men. AS it was, with a
power and energy which never tagged, she
fought an honored way through life, ac-
cepting life and life's responsibilities as
she found them and continuing her labori-
GUS work to the end. She was a brave.
cheerful, kindly, honest woman, the light
and stay of her home, and if ever a woman
by her work in life earned a long. u~ntroubled
sleep at last, that woman was she.
Some eighteen years ago Mrs. Ford cam
to this city, and has since been engaged in
business here. For years "Ford's," as it is
known, has been one Of the most popular
hotels in the city.
The deceased was born in Ireland sixty
four years ago, and came to this country
as a child. She was married about thirty
five years ago, and her husband, John D..
Ford, and son, William F. Ford, survive
her. Four years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Ford
buried their only daughter, Theresa, and
those nearest to Mrs. Ford say that she
never quite rallied from the shock of her
daughters death.
While not having been i'll, Mrs. Ford
has suffered more or less for two years past.
Early in December she was attacked with
a serious illness, and has since been con
fined to her room the greater part of the
time. On Friday Mrs. Ford's illness as
sumed a critical stage, since which time
she gradually sank, until the end came.
Heart failure, caused by a complication of
kidney disease, was the immediate trouble.

sp.cial correspo ndence 10 the SENTINEL.
The mills OF the gods are said to grind
slowly, and in this respect. at least, they
have q prototype in the Nevada Legisla-
ture. The last week was passed in getting
things in working shape, making acquaint-
ances, feeling the sentiment of various IN
dividuals on pet measures which may or
NAV not become the law of the land, ac-
cordingly as the Legislative tyro interprets
the feelings Of his fellow members, n is
prompted thereby to bring from obscurity
some measure which he believes will assist
the ship Of state in avoiding the financial
reefs which are popularity supposed to en-
cumber the route, or will send his name
echoing down the corridors Of Time as the
author of the famous bill for the extermi-
nation of bedbugs, cockroaches, feas and
other noxious insects which poster hu-
manity.
So far no game laws have been intro
~duced-thank heaven for that!-unless a
notice of the first railroad ''cinch" bill can
be so denominated. Why it is that the
average legislator thinks he has not done
his duty to his constituents until he has
introduced q bill regulating fares and
freights on railroads, passes my compre-
hension, and doubtless that of many wiser
men. Now I have no more doubt that the
railroads neck regulating in such matters
than 1 have that the ordinary %introducer
Of such measures is incompetent to do the
regulating. But the new President of
the Southern Pacific has publicly an
nounced his intention of taking the rail-
road out of politics, and it would seem
the least we could do would be at
least to give him a fair trial, instead Of
i~nviting-nay. almost forcing-him to in
~terfere in self protection.
Monday witnessed the introduction Of
several bills in the Assembly, the most
important of which were those by Allen

In the Senate, Hardesty of Elko has in
troduced q bill to abolish the Office of Live
Stock Inspector, which was created by the

by the self same gentleman who now seeks
its abolition. There seems no doubt that
the repeal will pass both Houses. since
there seems to he no demand from the cat.
tlemen, for whom it was ostensibly de.
signed, to have it retained on the Statutes.
Carsonites, generally, concede that the

They VIII Unite I'm Asking for Pro.
tectiye Legislation.

tectiye Legislation.
The executive committee OF the West
ern Nevada Teachers Association have
issued a circular letter to the teachers OF
the State requesting them to join in q
movement to secure legislation in their
own interest. Among other matters sug-
gested the circular contains the follow
ing:
"Another matter OF interest to many
teachers is a measure prohibiting arbi-
trary csuseless removal of teachers. In
der our school law any teacher may be
discharged at any time, without cause
and without notice. Such insecurity OF
position is not creditable to our State
nor to US as teachers. The fact that in
some of our towns positions are reason
ably secure, is due, not to the law. but
to the sense OF fairness OF the individual
members of the school boards, who
scorn to exercise such arbitrary powers.
Should not retention or discharge OF
teachers be based legally upon educs-
tioual grounds-the kind OF service per-
formed and the character and qusliica-
tions OF the teachers themselves?
at is time that the above and other
measures in the interest Of good schools
should receive our earnest consideration
as an organized force in the State, and
with such consideration and the effort
we can then make. we believe that their
successful enactment into law is certain. ="

Tho many friends Of the Wedekind
family in this vicinity will be pleased TO
learn that in the suit which was recently
commenced against George Wedekind by
Charles Bell for the possession of ores
taken from the Reno Star mine near
Reno. has been decided in favor Of the
defendant. The Reno papers Of January
% gives the following report of the trial:
The case was tried before Judge Cur.
Ter in the District Court or Saturday.
and il was shown that Wedekind was
not within seventy-6ve feet of the
ground claimed by Bell. and the case
was dismissed without prejudice and the
cost Of suit taxed to Bell. Hon. Thos.
Wren and Hon. A. e. Cheney protected
Wsdskind's interests, while 7. s. Ford
and W. A. Slest of Nevada City threw
the sponge in the air for Bell.
The case, which promised to be pro-
longed indefinitely. was brought to q
sudden termination by the offer OF
Thomas Wren, counsel for the defend
ant. TO take the Judge and two survey
oFs into the mine aud let them see for
themselves the conditions ~ they exist
cd. After some objection on the part Of
the attorneys for the plaintiff, Judge
Curlsr and the surveyors drove out to
the mine and discovered that the work
ings are we'll within undisputed ground.
On this showing the plaintiff agreed to
drop the case and pay the costs.

CORRECTIONs.

The SENTINEL desires TO correct an
error appearing in the last issue in
which il was stated that Assembly
man Allen had voted for the anti
Lottery resolution. So much is
true. But we further stated that q
petition had been presented signed
by nearly nine-tsnths OF the voters
of his county, demanding that he
vote against the Lottery. This now
appears to have been an error. no
such petition having as yet been
presented; so that Assemblyman AL
len cast his vote without any such
constraint.
We we're also in error in stating
that Assemblyman Paul OF White
Pine commended that q lottery was
not an evil form Of gambling" What
he did say was that lottery gambling
was the least evil form of gambling.
