Yesterday Chairman Mills stoped
VsnDuzer at Reno just as he was
boarding the train for Virginia City,

lished a challenge to r arlington some
weeks ago in all the Fusion papers
and he was surprised that it was not
accepted before He was going to Vir
ginia City to speak that evening, and
would welcome Harrington on the plat
form.
Mills replied that Mr.. Harrington
could not possibly be in Virginia that
| evening. but would like OF meet Van
Duzer in Gardnerville. This PROPOSE
J ION simply made the crowd laugh, for
it was evident to the dullest that Mills
did not want his man to go to pub
lie debate in large town where daily
! newspapers were published, that
could give the public full account Of
the meeting
harrington did not dare discuss the
isues of the day in a large town an(
above ALL in town where silver mil
ing is going on.
Mills explained that Mr.. Harrington
did not answer the challenge becaus
he had never had any official know
ledge of it He wanted VanDuzer t
: write him formal letter and observ
certain etiquette
VanDuzer stated that he would b
lin Virginia City and ready to ope
the debate. and he would expect Fal
rington to be there.
Mills toddled off to see Stewar

flair as one of Mills. grand stan
lays. Mills finally returned and a
opted Virginia City as the place {

NOT GIANTS TEETH.
MAstodon NoIars That Are supposed
By Explorers IA Have belonged
to Mankind.

The molnr teeth OF the extinct mas
todon resemble in the matter of form
those Of human beings. and it happens
quite frequently whenever such teeth
are found by those who are ignorant
of palaeontology that such people
jump to the conclusion that they are
the molars Of race of prehistoric
giants. Country people, who are well
grounded in the Scriptures, are ever
prone to reasoning of this character.
for no matter how far-fetchcd and alb
surd their conclusions may be in such
matters. they would rather base their
conclusions in case of this sort on
the book of Genesis than upon the So
ber and substantial findings of mod
ern science, says the Washington
Post

DROWNED IN THE UMPQUA.

Sunday afternoon, while bathing
in the South Umpqua River at the
foot of Oak street, in Roseburg,
Carlen Kent Lowell, aged about l6
years, was drowned. The boy, who
was unable to swim, got beyond his
depth, and sank in seven or eight feet
of water Dr. Lwikhell used every
effort to resuscitate the boy, but his
most persistent efforts proved of no
avail, life being extinct. The boy
was the eldest son of Thomas H.
Lowell, who is confined in the county
Jail, charged with killing Horace
Roadman, near Wilbur, on Sunday,
july 6, 1902 The deceased was one
of the principal witnesses for the
state in the case.
