Press omment

Robert Raftice of Eureka, who served
with such credit two years ago and wss
one Of the few who survived the inequity
Of the Nineteenth Session, is probably
the most attentive man in the House
to legislative duties. He never makes
a speech but always votes right. He is
a member of the Ways and Means and
Chairman of Elections. His name is the
synonym of rugged honesty. His word
is as good as his bond. His heart like
the magnet Of good intentions always
points to duty and the States best in
~terests. No man in the Assembly more
universally commands the respect of
his colleagues. He is the Stonewall
Jackson of the Twentieth Session. .
Bob can have the State Senatorship
next time if he but say the word

TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS.
Sam Davis Exposes an EnOrmous Bull.

The following is taken from a Reno
Journal special, dated De Lamar, New,
October 10:
@. D. Van Duzer and Sam P. Davis
addressed q large audience here last
evening. Mr.. Van Duzer's reply to
Farrington's remarks on Mr.. Newlands
was digni6ed. and made Newlands
many votes.
Just at the close Of Mr.. Van Duzer's
remarks the electric lights in the hall
were turned. ont. There was great con-
fusion, but Mr.. Davis took the plat
form and announced that he would
speak as advertised, lights or no lights.
The audience remained in their seats
while MI. Davis continued speaking
until coal-oil lights we're provided.
The speaker made a most startling
expose Of the way the De Lamar and
April Fool Companies had swindled the
State and county out Of over half a
million dollars in taxes, and he pre-
sented an array Of figures to substan-
tiate his statement. He charged Asses
sor Prudential and District Attorney
McNamee with having allowed these
companies to perpetrste q swindle and
throw the county into debt.
His talk was received with hearty
demonstration by the audience and is
the talk of the town to-day. Many
Republicans admit the truth of bis
statements and say they are glad that
the whole thing has been made public.
Lincoln county is now safely Fusion
for the entire ticket.

AN OPEN LETTER
From . Candidate 20 the voters Of
Eureka County.

Eureka County.
II is urged by the papers Of the State
that go into political discussions, that
the main issue of the election near at
hand is the choice of q United States
Senator. and the declaration is taken
up and affirmed by many well-thinking
people. or equal importance, how
ever, is the choice Of each and every
officer to be made on November 4. In
order that we may have laws in the in
terest of all the people. laws administer
ing the greatest good to the greatest
number, We must endorse and elect
men who are resolute enough TO main
tain their individuality. and who are
ruled by honesty and justice; men who
will study and learn, work and vote for
the interests of our own people, and in
turn for the people at large. We need
but be governed by the same rule in
the selection Of u public servants as
our private ones. and we will choose
the greatest possible number of worthy
fellow-citizens to enact and legislate
for us.
In addition to the important matters
of revenue, taxation, appropriation and
economy which always engage the at
tention Of our Lawmakers, the Senators
and Assemblymen of the coming ses-
sion must take up anew the question Of
lettering the conditions Of our miners
and enact
The EfghtHour Labor Law.
And, in harmony with the steps taken
by the National Government for the
reclamation of our arid lands. they
must devise ways and means that we
may. without delay. get the relief COM
ing to us under the provisions of the
NEwLAND's IRRIGATION ACT.
To Washington, we must send men of
immediate action; men who are ready
and will meet the pressing necessities
of the present; men who will forever
proclaim that Nevada, the second great
mining State of the Union, will g
rest until that National assistance is
| given us which WILL REOPEN OUR Sill
YER MINES AND ADVANCE OUR MINING
INTERESTS.
The ultimatum of the trust-wealth-
producing classes, as issued to US
within the month through our suffering
brothers of the East, leaves no room
for any workingman to differ from his
brother as to the duty before him-Io
oAsT HIS VOTE o EVERY MAN WHO WILL
WORK TO ESTABLISH AND GIVE HIM IN

Pledging Myself
to the EIGHT-HoUR LABOR LAW, and In
viting an inspection of my record | n
the last two sessions of the Legislature,
I most respectfully submit my candi-
dacy to the voters of Eureka county.

LUNGS THAT ARE LAZY.
Their Owners Digest Poorly ana
 Catch Cold Easily.

Fresh air is q free gift, but it is like most of the gifts of heaven in that we must do our share of work to benefit by it. No one would expect to have good fire just because pair of bellows hung on a nail by the chimney, but this Is exactly what many people expect of their lungs, which are really only the bellows given us by which to keep tho fire of life burning bright and clear within us.
 It is not too much to assert that lungs properly used in comparatively close room will do more good than lazy lungs in an open field. This trick of lazy lungs is habit, like any other, and may be overcome by persistent effort. Many persons, for example, are afflict- cd with q nervous habit of holding the breath unconsciously. These are the people who, in spite of plenty of time spent out of doors, yet catch cold easi- ly, digest poorly and are always more or less under the weather" physically.
 Many other persons-and they consti- tute the great majority of mankind  breathe only with the upper part of the lungs and although they may breathe regularly do not draw in sufficient air at breath to fill all the lung cells.
 When once the pernicious habit of poor, shallow breathing has been bro ken up. the health undergoes such mark ed improvement. there is such brighten Ing of the spirits and improvement of the looks, that the luxury of deep breathing is not likely to be readily foregone.
 A good way to start the new habit Is to take deliberately few minutes at stated intervals and devote them ts proper breathing. If this is done sys- tematically, the reformer will find him. self unconsciously bree ething more and more, until very soon he Is obeying na- ture and really breathing to live.
 Besides the gain to the general health which comes from the habit of deep breathing there is created a reserve strength and preparedness which Is often of great service in warding off acute pulmonary diseases.-Youth'a Companion.

An incident which occurred while Admiral Dewey was commanding the Asiatic squadron and one which illus trates his independence is one known as 'the coal incident"
 It seems that his squadron was in need of coal, but instead of writing to the chief of the bureau of equipment at the navy department he purchased a large amount of coal without consult ing the department.
 The following is the correspondence between the admiral and Captain Brad ford. the chief of the bureau of equip ment, and is self explanatory:

One of Fields Crazy Jokes.

Tn his biography of Eugene Field Slason Thompson says that shortly aft. CT the humorist's arrival in Chicago 1t occurred to him one bleak day in De. cember that 1t was time the people knew there was stranger in town.
 So he arrayed himself in long lineL duster, buttoned up from knees to col. lar, put an old straw hat on his head and, taking shabby book under one arm and palf leaf fan in his hand, he marched all the way down Clark street past the city hall. to the office. Every. where along the route he was greeted with jeers or pitying words, as his ap pearance excited the mirth or commis. eration of the passersby.
 When he reached the entrance to The Daily News office, he was followed by motley crowd of noisy urchins, whom he dismissed with grimace and the cabalistic gesture with which Nicholas Kooran perpleXed and repulsed An. tony van Corlear from the battlement of the fortress on Rensselaerstein. Then, closing the door in their aston. ished faces, he mounted the two flights of stairs to the editorial rooms. where he recounted, with the glee of the boy he was in such things. the success oi his joke.

WeIIington's Goodness.

The Duke of Wellington was one day sitting at his library table when the door opened and without any an- nouncement in stalked figure of sin gularly ill omen.
 "Who are you?" asked the duke in his short and dry manner, looking up without the slightest change of coun- tenance upon the intruder.

 "Kill me? Very odd"
 q am Apollyon and must put you to death."
 "'Bliged to do it today?
 T am not told the day or the hour, but must do my mission."
 "very inconvenient; very busy; great many letters to write. Call again or write me word. I'll be ready for you"
 The duke then went on with his cor respondence. The maniac, appalled, probably by the stern, immovable old gentleman, backed out of the room and in half an hour was in an asylum.
