Hardly Fair.

1t seems that Judge Hawley, after
having been Judge of the United States
Circuit Court for a dozen years, and
having drawn thousands of dollars in
salary, is not taxpayer in Nevada.
he farmers and business men of this
State who have borne the burdens OF
government and paid heavy taxes
every year, will not favor the eleotic n
of tax-dodger to the United States
Senate. te.--GdrdncrUiHe Courier.
1t is hardly fair to charge Judge
Hawley with tax-dodging. He has no
property to tax in Nevada and conse-
luently has nothing to dodge in this
otate. He probably pays his taxes
promptly, wherever, elsewhere than
Nevada, he has invested his savings
from the many thousands of dollars
salary which he has drawn from the
tate and Federal treasures during
lis continuous Office holding here for
the last thirty years. .-foaraa.

One Of the most charming series of
articles for its combination Of prac-
ticality and literary interest is that
running in The Deiineafor under the
title "The House that Jack and Jill
Built" The worlkmen they employed
to carry out their ideas early gave the
pair up as wildly insane, but the re-
suits achieved throughout the house
are delightful nevertheless. From
cellar to garnet originality shows itself
in everything, and the prospective
householder will do well to profit by
the suggestions here offered.

The Importance of the election this
year in Nevada to the National Demo-
cracy should make every Democrat
and Silver party man stand solidly by
Francis g. Newlands and Clarence ID.
Van Duzer. The Democracy of the
East is making gallant struggle to
win seats in the Senate and to control
the House of Representatives and their
brethren in Nevada should not desert
them when their help is most needed.
Nevada Democrats especially should
do their full duty to their party, stand
by Newlands and Van Duzer and share
in the national victory. Don't give
aid to the enemy by voting for Hawley
or harrington. Eiko IadeDendeat.

How the Trusts Effect Nevada.

How the wire trust affects the people
of Nevada is tersely told by w. Gil
mer, one of Elko county's solid ranch
ers, who says the year before the trust
was formed he sold his steers for S35 a
head and it took two to pay for ton
of barbed wire. This year after the
trust was formed he sold his steers for
$23. 80 head and it took four of them
to pay for ton Of barbed wire. Mark
Hanna once said trust was good
thing for the people, but Mark would
have much trouble in convincing MIR.
Gilmer that the wire trust is a good
thing for Nevada ranchers. = h'ho hs-
depentem.
AS the barbed wire trust affects di-
rectly the ranchers and stock raisers,
there are scores of other trusts that
burden and oppress every man, woman
and child in the state. This is evil
denced by the fact that nearly all of
the necessaries of life, articles Of daily
consumption, are monopolized by the
trusts, which limits or expands their
production at their sovereign will and
pleasure, and fixes the prices thereon,
which averages at least twenty per
cent greater than if there was legiti-
mate and wholesome competition. But
the people of the state will have an
opportunity to protest against this oat-
rageous condition of things by sending
an anti-Republican each, to the United
States Senate and Il ouse of Represen-
tatives. If they fail to do this, thes
will richly deserve the continued OF
preston lords and masters whose su-
premacy they will acknowledge and
endorse by their voice at the polls.

Won't and Will.

Do you want VIM. NJ. Stewart re
elected to the United states Senate
two years from now? That is one OF
the questions of the hour. The fusion
candidates for State Senators will
never vote for Stewart. = GardnG-
viiie Courier.
And it is equally certain that every
Republican hold-over will. If not why
does every one of them refuse to sub
scribe to a pledge not to vote for a
man whom they know is abhorent to
all of the people of the State, except a
few office seekers, who hope through
him to secure a trust donated sack for
the campaign of 1904.

Eus1ls Family REUNION

That kindred ties are very strong was
fully shown by gathering lately held

They met at the home of MARY" Mrs

mutual greeting went to Hotel Warren
where they sat down to bountitul din
ner served in excellent style. Return
ing to ''Mary's" the evening was spent
in games of old. II is seldom that fouI
brothers and two sisters of the same
family, ranging in age from about 5S tc
rs. can thus come together to touch ell
bows in memory of cfildhood'S days.
The parties were G. w. Eustis of Dix

mingling three generations OF the OLD

The party was made more particularly
in honor of the younger brother,
''Humph," who came from Minneapolis
on purpose to attend. He has been a
resident of the metropolis of the North,
west for some years, and is honored and
respected by all. The oldest brother,
Mason, (now where family reunions are

SHOOTING IN NEW GLOUCESTER.
ALBERT TRIP OF OXFORD THE VICTIM.
OTHER PARTIES CONCERNED KNOWN
IN OXFORD COUNTY.

There was shooting ARRAY in New
Gloucester Tuesday afternoon, some of
the parties concerned in which are
known in Oxford County. The victim
was Albert Trip of Oxford. Trip was
visiting at the house of Humphrey May,
which is small, poor structure near
the New Gloucester line. In the house.
besides May, were his hOusekeeper,
Mrs. Lucy A. Royal, Mrs. Royals daugh-
ter, Mrs. Minnie Robbins, and three
children, of whom two belong to Mrs.
Robbins. AS nearly as the story can
be gathered from the parties who were
there, late in the afternoon Frank Burn
ham of Leeds and Edgar D. Wing of
Oxford drove up to the house and went
in. They were somewhat under the in
tiuence of liquor, and after while a
difficulty arose in the house, when Nav
ordered the men out. They refused to
60, and May attempted to eject them.
Burnham pulled a revolver and fired two
shots. ThereupOn Trip came to Mays
assistance, and knocked downward the
revolver which Burnham had pointed at
May. The bullet from the revolver went
into Trips abdomen.
The two men outside, after being
elected, attempted 10 get in again, but
failing, took their team, also Trips,
and left. The authorities were at work
as soon as possible, and Burnham and
Wing were located at Burnham's home
in Leeds and arrested there Wednesday
afternoon.
Wing, who is held as an accessory in
the case, was arrested several months
ago, together with Mrs Minnie Robbins,
who was at Mays house at the time of
the affray, and they were committed to
the Oxford County Jail on the charge of
living together as man and WIFE At the
October term of court, no Indictment be-
ing found, they were discharged. At
the September term in 1882, Wing was
sentenced TO state prison for one year on
a similar charge, and served his time.
1t was at first thought that Trips
wound was fatal, but he later impOved
and will probably recover.
Burnham and Wing have not yet been
arraigned, and if Trip RECEIVERS of course
the charge against them will be only
assault, and Cumberland County will be
saved the expense of murder trial.

EleCTRlCS TO LEWISTON.
PROSPECTS SAID TO BE GOOD THAT THEY
WILL RUN NEXT YEAR.

II is altogether probable that by al
another wear there will be electric rail
road communication between Norway
and Lewiston, by means of the Auburn
Mechanic Falls and Norway Street Rail
way, of which the articles of association
were recently filed. The company has
among its stockholders number oil
those who are owners in the Lewiston,
Brunswick and Bath road, men with
capital. whose intention il is understood
10 be TO push the road along without
any DELAY, provided no obstacle is en-
countered. The route is fully laid out
and plans made, and permit To build on
the proposed location has been obtained
from all the towns along the route ex-
cept one.
The route will follow the main travel
ed carriage road the greater part of the
way. From Auburn the line goes di-
rectly to Minot Corner and thence TO
Mechanic Falls, passing through the
town of Poland in doing so. The tracks
of the Portland and Rumford Falls rail-
way are crossed at Pleasant Street, Me
chanie Falls. One and one-half miles
out of Mechanic Falls the tracks of the
proposed line will run under the Grand
Trunk railway. From Oxford village
the proposed line passes over private
right-of-way about one and one-half
miles, following the shortest cut to Nor
way. A short distance it runs parallel
to the Grand Trunk tracks. Norway is
entered on Main Street.
The Portland and Rumford Falls Rail
way will strongly oppose the crossing of
its track at grade by the proposed road
at Mechanic Falls, and will endeavor to
have the crossing made either over or
under the steam road.
