FUSION COMPLETE.
Newlands Is Agreed Upon for
Senator in Nevada.

Reno, New, Aug 29.-The Silver party
nominated Lemuel Allen of Churchill
lieutenant governor; G. F. Talbot of
Elko, supreme judge; Eugene Howell.
secretary of state; Dave Ryan, treas
urer; E. D. Kelly. surveyor general G..
E. Mack of Storey was given nomina-
ton of long term regent of the uni
iversity. The Democratic convention
nominated F. G. Newlands for United
States senator; c. d. Van Duzer for
congress; John Sparks for governor.
James G.. Sweeney of Ormsby for attor-
ney general and John Edwards Bray for
superintendent of public instruction and
w w Booker for short term regent of
the university. William Woodman was
nominated for judge of the First judicial
district B. F. Curler for the Second.
Peter Breen of Eureka for the Third,
George Brown of Efko for the Fourth
and M. S. Bonniefield, jr-, of Humboldt
for the Fifth. This practically COM
pleted the labor of both conventions and
all that remains to be done is for them
to meet in joint convention and ratify
the nominations made.
The fight for United States senator
promises to be hard fought battle be-
tween the Republicans and fusion par
ties. Thomas P. Hawley is a strong
man. He has been a resident of Ne
vada for forty years and has occupied
many places Of trust and honor. The
major part of his life has been on the
judicial bench and for fifteen or twenty
years he has been United States judge
for the district of Nevada.
+ Francis G. Newlands has been a resi-
dent of this state for about II years.
ten of which have been spent in serv-
ing the people of the commonwealth in
the congress of the United States
Two years ago Newlands announced
that he would be a candidate for the
United States senate. 1t is to be a pretty
fight and both the Republicans and
fusionists claim to hold the top hand.
A. c. cleveland of White Pine will
probably be pitted against John Sparks,
the Democratic nominee for governor.
They are both strong men before the
people Cleveland has had much more
experience in politics than has Mr.
Sharks

IS SERVING THE STATE.
Gen. HUTTON Refuses to Take Instruc-
tions from Mine Operators.

Charleston, w. Va, Aug. 29-When the
state troops reached Thurmond to pre-
serve order. and protect property in the
mine regions request was made of As
sistant General Hutton, in command, to
report to the operators atRush Run for in
structions. He refused point blank and
said he was there with troops to act un-
der instructions from the sheriff of the
county to preserve property and not take
instructions from operators. Sheriff Dan
iel then took three companies and the
signal corps to Rush Run to guard the
public roads and protect people. The re-
mainder of the troops bivouacked. No
outbreak of any kind occurred today. The
entire strength of the regiment, 300
would be entirely inadequate in case of
violence. The output in the New River
field yesterday was $500 tons, about one
tenth of the usual amount.

Superintendent Nelson has been in

hasten the hearing of the text book in

Monday, but as that is Labor day, a
legal holiday, court will not be in Ses-
sion till Tuesday. the day on which
many of the schools of the state begin.
1t is said that if Judge Hazen should
refuse to grant the injunction it would
release the Kansas Book company SO
that it could go ahead and ship the
books of the American Book company
to the dealers over the state The books
were all ready for shipment many OF
them, when the Kansas Book company
wasrestrained by the probate court.
If Judge Hazen should take the mat
ter up and decide it tomorrow, the books
could be sent out tomorrow night if the
injunction should be refused. and this
would allow the dealers to begin dis
tributing them by Tuesday, and the
schools could be running smoothly in
a few days. The opponents of the Amer

COMMISSIONERS EXPLAIN.
Why They Didn't Discover Kelly's
Defalcations Before.

Paola, Kan, Aug. 29.-In discussing
the statement" given out by Thos. T.
Kelly, r. Hampson, chairman, Thos.
Crawford and Captain Reuben Smith,
commissioners of Miami county. say
thar at the conclusion of the inyestiga-
ton of Kelly's accounts while clerk of
this county, the investigation covering
the years $780, 1891. 1892 and 1893, they
found him indebted to the county in the
sum of 81, ,324.99
This investigation was concluded on
June Z, 1902. In summing up these find
ings the board concludes with the fol-
lowing statement. 1.-The records upon
which these itemized findings are made
are all before US. None of them are
missing, altered or mutilted. Where
warrants have been drawn for a larg-
er amount than was allowed by the

warrants are all in the handwriting

They further state that James E. Ca
| ton, ex-county clerk, was never employ
| ed by the board to investigate the rec
! ords of the county clerks office or any
other office, and as a matter of fact he
! never made any such investigation or

| clerk, state that every warrant dupli-
Gated or voucher raised by Kelly was

and that they had no reason at that
| time to suspect that Kelly was dishon-
est, hence did not give the records the
| close inspection they would otherwise
! have done.
| In the investigation held in February
of this year, there were but two charges
| made against Kelly, each of which in

$50. which sum he has since paid into

changed his mind, and has Dositivel,
refused to let any member of the board

RUMOR OF STRIKE.
Reported Renewal of Santa Fe
Trouble at San BernardinO.

Another strike is said to be brewing
among the Santa Fe boilermakers at
San Bernardino. The men claim that
the Santa Fe is not keeping the agree
ment made at the settlement of the for
mer strike, and that it has blacklisted
two of the strikers.
Another grievance is that the Santa
Fe discharged a union man at San Ber-
nardino, whom the boilernnakers want
retained. The boilermakefs are holding
meetings, and the difficulties have been
appealed to the higher officials of the

which the narrator says he had from

Lincoln and his cabinet were in ses-

left word that he would receive cards.
AS he supposed, the meeting was Who'll
ly social.
While they were gathered about the
table a servant brought in two cards,
and Lincoln commanded that the call
ers be admitted. When they appeared
he found one to be TALL spare man,
the other one much understood. After
moments chat they retired.
There is remarkable instance Of
the providence of the Creator" re-
marked Lincoln, impressively, as he
turned again to his ministers There
are two men. God has given one man
extraordinary long legs and the other
extraordinary short legs, yet He made
the legs of each of those men so that
they just exactly reach the ground!"-
