NEVADA.

THE Nevada Assembly has pass
ed an 8-hour bill but it is said the
measure will not go through the
Senate. 1t ought not to. 1t has not
been cur luck to see the original
bill, but is is supposed to effect
miners, smelter men, mill men and
those who work in cyanide plants.
Why it should not include farmers,
storekeepers, saloons and other
businesses we cannot state. How
ever, the measure is an obnoxious
one; it is not calculated to benefit
anything, and would be detri-
ment to the laboring men in the
State. Whether law to prevent
a man from working as long as he
pleases would be constitutional or
not, we are not prepared to say
but we are prepared to say that
such law would to a great ex-
tent be imperative. A company
which is paying two dollars a day
to'its men now for twelve hours
work, under the eight hour law
would simply reduce the wages to
a dollar and thirty cents day. We
believe that this would not be con-
sidered favorable to the laboring
man. Furthermore, if there is any
thing that will keep capital away
from the State it is law that re-
stricts man or a company from
spending their money as they
choose. If this is the object of the
measure, it is good one.

THE Frendenthal resolution
calling for joint committe of the
Senate and Assembly to confer
with the Southern Pacific Com
pany in regard to fares and freight
rates in Nevada is move in the
right direction, and if the COM
mittee handle the matter rightly
much good can be accomplished
for the State. Cinch propositions
should be thrown aside and a
spirit of friendship and reciprocity
shown. Nevada has been fight
ing the railroad company long
enough, and has always received
the worst of the scrimmage. We
believe the railroad people will be
fair when approached in bust
ness-like manner.

THE woman named Nation who
has been floating about Kansas
with an ak in her hand smashing
saloons, has obtained national
reputation, and that is most likely
all she is looking for. Her actions
are disgusting. Should harlot or
a macquereaux disturb the peace
in the manner she has they would
be landed behind the bars too
quick, and that is where this freak
of Nation woman should be.

FLANAGAN, of Reno, has intro
duced a bill to repeal the prize
fight law. The high license law in
regard to prize fighting now on
the Statutes is the best preventive
of this sport (?) that any State in
the Union has. In nearly all
other States prize fighting is strict
ly prohibited, yet the game goes
on Just the same and it costs thous-
ands of dollars to keep the law
anywhere near in force. There
has been but one fight in Nevada
since the present law went into
effect, and the bum fighters and
their followers have been kept out
of the State. Change the law and
you will have all kinds of fights
in Nevada.

IN HUNTING FOR HAWKINS
Clever Piece and Entertaining Special
ties Compose an Entertaining At
traction at Sutton's Theater.

Hunting for Hawkins was the name
of the piece at Sutton's Family theater
last evening. A good sized audience
was ready with discriminat ting applause,
the members of the company appeared
at their best. and, all things considered,
a very creditable entertainment was
given.
Hunting for Hawkins is full of hui
morous complications. 1t is not play
that leads up to a climax, but the COM
plications arising in the first act are
smoothed out by devious processes until
the final scene when the last thread of
interest is snapped. Hawkins" is
much-sought for individual but the
members Of the audience find it hard to
remember the sequel to the search. 1t
really doesn't matter anyhow; there is
more amusement to be had in hunting
for Hawkins than after he is caught, so
the play is chopped off abruptly when
Hawkins is found.
John L. Kearney, who appeared as the
stranger in 1.-The Stranger in New York.
at the Grand last season, is the "Haw-
kins' and the character is admirably
drawn. Hawkins" becomes involved in
difficulties in the early stages Of the
play by consenting to impersonate the
uncle of a friend who is greatly in need
OF relative to assist him in love af-
fair In order to carry out the deception
it is necessary for Hawkins to keep his
wife in the dark concerning his where
about, so it is Mrs. Hawkins who directs
the avalanche of trouble which sweeps
down upon the character after whom the
piece takes it's name. Kearney S clever
and so is ALI Grant, who takes the part
of Owen Touchem, a chronic borrower
Mamie Conway, who is cast for a

Bessie Devote do clever dancing spec

action. snap and ginger. There is
matinee Sunday afternoon and the play
will hold the boards tonight and tomor-
row night
