the State Board of Assessors did
not properly classify the railroads.
Instead of fixing II valuation on
the Southern Pacific Railroad
naming it in that manner, the
Board should have fixed the valua-
ton in this manner: "On broad
guage railroads whose terminus are
wholly outside the State of Ne
yada, $4,000 per mile.
Had this course been followed
the assessment would have stood.
On cattle. horses, sheep, ETC.,
they followed the correct course
under the law. The injunction
stands and now the several Assess
ors, through whose counties the
road runs. can fix the valuation
separately as they deem proper.
From the view of the various AS
SCISSORS in railroad counties on this
subject, it is likely that they will
assess at an average OF $4,000 or
$4,000 a mile.
The Carson Appeal says the
point on which the Court rendered
its decision is regarded as good by
the States attorneys and they
consider it wiser to leave the
States interests to the next meet
ing Of the Board of Assessors in
january next than to appeal to the
L. S. Court.

Life is short at best and if indi-
viduals and communities would
make tie best use of their oppor-
tunities they would enjoy them
selves much better. Ii the indi-
vidual would be temperate in all
things, live within his means, not
gozzle too much rock and rye or
beer, devote his life TO doing good,
not only to himself but his fellows,
store his mind with useful infor-
nation and study the book OF ma
ture, he would in all probability
live his three score aud ten happy
and contented.
If a community would see that
the town was i'll good sanitary
condition and keep SO, have a uni
formity in building fronts on its
business blocks, do away with old
rickety and unsightly awnings,
put down stone or asphalt walks in
stead of plank walks. macadamize
the streets, have adequate protec-
ton against fire, stop riding BIZ
cycles on the side walks and make
an up-to-date town on all lines it
would leave to generations to fol-
low a legacy worth having.
II a merchant, live us near to
the Golden Rule MS you can; # a

not fill it up with blood curdling
argument about hell, fire and

sity of a mule to kick, and of a
bullfrog to croak, and ms all men,

A New District Judge.

Governor Sadler Monday norm
ing appointed Thomas Julien of
Reno Judge Of the Second Ju-
dicial District, vice Judge Cdrler,
who has been absent from the
State for some time. The Cover
nor's action is based upon Section
204S of the Statutes, which reads
rs follows: "a Judge OF the SUI
preme Court or Of the District
Court shall not absent himself
from the State for more than
ninety consecutive days. A vio-
Iation of the provisions of this
section shall work a forfeiture OF
sach o~ffice.'-Report.
The Carson Appeal of this morn
ing says that nothing was known
of the appointment at the Capitol
building. Mr.. Davis, the Cover
nor's private secretary, stated that
as far rs he know that the item
was without foundation. rs he had
not been notified by the Governor
of any such action.
In the Secretary of States office
nothing was known of the new
judgeship and it is likely that il
would be known there as an official
appointment must be filed with
the Secretary of State and also
sworn to before him.

Election of u. s
Senators.

It is more than likely that the
voters of Nevada at the general
Election will be given an oppor-
tunity of expressing, for the first
time in the history OF the State,
their choice as to who they desire
shall represent them in the United
States Senate. 1t is probable
every county in the State will have
1T least one candidate, and maybe
more. 1t is n fr~ee-for-all propo-
sition. All that is necessary is to
comply with the provisions of the
statute regulating the manner by
which such candidates. names may
be placed on the official ballot at
the general election to be held in
November, 1902:
As the NEvADAN is Of the opin-
ion that many of it's readers have
never read the rev law. and be-
lieving that it will be perused with
ilterest by them, the Act is here
with presented in it's entirety, and
is MS follows:
Section l. At the general cleo
lions next preceding the expira-
ton of the time for which any
United States Senator was elected
or appointed to represent the
State of Nevada in Congress, can
didates for choice of the electors of
this State for United States Sena-
tor may he nominated in the same
manner as now provided for the
nomination of State officers, and
either by certificate of nomination
by a party convention or by certi-
ficate of nomination signed by
electors equal to ten per cent of
tbs entire vote cast at the preced-
Ing election.
Sec. 2. Such certificates of
nomination shall be filed with the
Secretary Of State, who shall Ger
tify the names of all candidates as
shown therein to the various
County Clerks as now required by
law in case of candidates for State
offices, and the several County
Clerks in preparing the ballots to
be voted at any such general cleo
ton shall place thereon the names
Of all such candidates under the
words .'Choice for U. S. Senator,
vote for one and there shall be a
margin at the right hand side of
these names, at least one-half inch
wide, where the voter may indi-
cate his choice of said candidates
by making n cross or n.
Sec. 3. The names of all candi-
dates So nominated shall be sub
United to the electors of the State,
for them to express their choice at
every general election, and the
vote upon such choice shall be
taken, returned, canvassed and GER
titled by the same authority and in
the same way as the vote for State
officers taken, canvassed and certi-
fed; and id manner and form COM
plying with the requirements and
provisions Of an Act relating to
elections and to more fully secure
the secrecy of the ballot, approved
March 10, 1891, and of the various
Acts amendatory thereof and sup
Elementary thereto, and the Secre-
tary of State shall, within five
days after the converting of the
next session of the Legislature fol-
lowing any such election, transmit
TO each branch thereof the result
of the oflcias-sanvass Of the vote
hpon said choice and candidates.
Sec. 4. The provisions of this
Act shall not apply to the filing
of any vacancy in the Office Of
United States Senator which may
occur by death, resignation or re-
hoval between the date sixty days

er Ben Mccoy. He has been success
full beyond the average in his work
and the city will make no mistake in
choosing the young man as its legal
advisor. The office will have his
most careful attention and there will
be no mistake made in placing the
reigns of office in his hands.
FOR ASSESSOR.
Another selection made by the Re-
publican convention that has met with
general favor before the people of the
city was that of John A. Mcgee for
city assessor. The man is peculiarly
fitted for the position and the posi-
ton fits the man. Mr.. Magee came
to this city about five years ago and
was established in the realty and loan
business under the firm name of
Howard & Magee. He came to the
city from Weeping Water, Nebraska,
where he vas in the real estate bust
ness for a period of ten years. He
took the interest of his partner three
years ago and has since directed the
business himself. His work and
record while in the city of Oskaloosa
have been such that people have been
highly pleased with him and he has
built up one of the best businesses in
the line of realty and loan that is to
be found in the city. He has been in
all parts of Mahaska and adjoining
counties and has been more or less
in all parts of the state and in Mis-
souri, and Kansas. His judgment of
the value of land is based upon an
experience of Is years in handling
real property. This knowledge on the
value of property and his experience
in judging makes the nan most de-
sirable for the position. Mr.. Magee
| could not be bettered in the place,
and it is doubtful if the city ever
again will have a chance to place SO
competent a judge over the rating of
it's property values. The party was
most fortunate in prevailing upon the
gentleman to accept a nomination
for the place and he should receive
the heartiest support from the people
in all parts of the city.

liable to Have TroubIe

There has been a solicitor in town
for a number of days representing a
teiloring establishment of Chicago.
He takes an order and requires a de-
posit On the price of the suit or gar
ment, the balance to be paid when
the goods arrive, Q. o. d. Several
parties have ordered goods and have
paid OF account and when tho pack
age arrives it is found that there has
been no credit for the amount paid to
the agent. The goods are promptly
refused atthe express office and there
are several parties in the city who
would like to get their money out Of
the agent. 1t is said that the fellow
was in jail last evening for drunken
ness and he is very liable to have
other troubles before the matter lie

FOR SOLICITOR.

For city solicitor the republicans
have chosen a candidate whose name
has been in every mouth in the city
and who is as popular as he is wide
ly known. John Mccoy, the Philip
pine soldier boy, was the choice of
the party for this place, and, if elect
ed, ne would give the place the at
tention and study that a sturdy
young manhood is capable of putting
into a work of this nature. John Nc.
Coy is an Oskaloosa lad, born and
reared here. He went to school in
the city and to Oskaloosa College and
later to Cornell and Iowa City where
he graduated from the State Univer-
sity in the classical ours in 1896,
and a year later from the law school.
He returned to his home to work and
entered the Office OF b. w. Preston.
Later he established himself in an Of
fee of his own and vas quite sue
cessful in practice during a year.
Then came the Spanish-American
trouble and John Mccoy answered
the call to arms, He turned his back
upon his practice and his opportun-
tiles here and placed his services at
the disposal Of his country. He saw
service in the Philippines and was
there over a year. He was in two
battles, four engagements and two
skirmishes and came out with honor
able discharge. He spent about a
year in foreign travel and returned
to this city toresume his law practice
forming a law practice with his faith.
