A Bruneau, Idaho. man was
dancing a quadrille when he heard
his pants seams ripping at which
he rushed into the dressing room,
where his wife was soon busy with
needle and thread, he having d.
vested himself from his leg cover
ings. Presently he heard the rust
lie of skirts and realizing hat he
was up against the horrible propo-
sition of being discovered in the
ladies dressing room. which he
had entered by mistake. Appeal
ing to his wife again that excellent
creature showed him through what
she supposed to be a closet door
and turned the key. Let me
back! let me back" he screamed
as he began pounding on the door.
"I'm in the ballroomr" And he
was.

TERMS.
Will They Mate
ria1iZe?

President Hartman and other
officials of the Southern Pacific
Company stopped an hour in Reno
last Friday evening. While there
a committee of representative bus
mess men of the city called upon
them and was received cordially.
The Journal says that many ques-
tons we're asked and answered re-
garding the progress of the State
and its metropolis. President
Hartman manifested a lively in
terest and expressed the intention
to do all in his power to aid in the
advancement of Reno and the
State.
Three propositions, or requests,
were proposed to the President, as
follows:
81. A subway under the Vir-
ginia street crossing.
"2. A three-cent-per-mile fare
In the State of Nevada.
80. A reduction in freight rates
from eastern points that will elm
ate the back tariff from San Fran
CISCO"
The first proposition is a local
one that does not particularly in
terest the people of the State out
side of Reno. But the other two
are of vital interest to every citi-
zen of the State. The NEyADAN
hopes that Mr.. Harrimap's lively
interest in the State and his good
intention toward it will material
ize into a more liberal freight and
passenger tariff.

What the Girl
Saw.

The duties of a certain sea cap
tain kept him a long time away
from home. During his enforced
absence his wife had become quite
a society lady. So when her hus-
band returned. a recherche recep-
ton was given complimentary to
him. He had not been drilled in
manners and other things esthetic,
and did not have clothes suitable
for the occasion. His wife finally
prevailed upon him to have a full
dress suit made. The style of the
trousers and coat was excuseable
but he could not see the sense of
having the vest cut so low. On
the evening of the function he
donned his dress suit and wore a
button in the lapel Of his coat, the
only evidence of his rank and pro-
fession.
At the reception a young lady
who had been introduced to him
stood conversing with him and
noticed the button in the lapel of
his coat. 81 see you're naval,' she
said. With suffused and perspir-
ing face. nervously lingering in
the region of his umbilicus, the
captain stammered, Il told the
tailor he was cutting that d-n
vest too low.-Medical journal.

Weave your chaplets, oh, my sis
tiers,
Irvine immortelles for your
braves;
Wreathe the lily white and rose
bud,
Crown your heroes in their
graves.
Tune your Tyres to thrilling mum,
bers,
Sing hozannas in their praise;
Orators! your proud laudations,
Poetsl write your grandest lays.
Childrenl bear your graceful trib-
utes,
Deckthe marbles Ger them press
ed;
Lightly tread the sward abovethem,
Nor disturb their sacred rest.
x
Drape their tombs, but not in
mourning.
Float your banners on the breeze;
Bear the "Stars and Stripes" in
triumph,
Where they rest beneath the
trees.
Ancient veterans who have wand
cred
Under Mexicue's starry skies,
Where the Aztec ontezuma
Still in stately grandeur lies.
Join your noble sons, the martyrs,
Who gave to Freedoms cause
their blood;
And tearing from the slave his
letters,
Wrought universal brotherhood.
Weave your chaplats, then, my
sisters,
Irvine immortelles for your
braves;
Wreathe the lily white and rosebud,
Crown your heroes in their
graves.

The views of other lecturers are taken
second hand and are common stock
pictures which any one with lant-
ern can rent. The views presented
by Mrs. Boden were taken by Mr..
Boden while visiting Oberammergau
in September, and are from real life.
There is no wait between views
but continuous Panorama is witness
sed by the audience. $500 feet of
moving picture. and $50 views of the
grandest religious spectacle of the
time. Ely is seldom visited by a first
class artist, and it is only because
the season is about closed that we are
able to secure Mrs. Boden. The lect-
ure to be given is free from all super
stitous eXaggeration and coloring
which some have put on to make it
harmonic with their sectarian be-
| lief, and is the truth and true TO
life. This should be patronized not
only for the sake of entertainment,
but for the sake of education and
religion, and to encourage first class
artists to come to our town. Tick

VIA Have No Crematory.

The county poor farm will have no
crematory, or at least not for some
time.
At the regular meeting of the poor
board held Tuesday communication
was received from the superintendent
of the crematory in ST. Paul, who
seems quite willing to dispose of the
plant there. The apparatus cost ST.
600 and the owners would like to sell
it cheap. 1t is owned by private par
ties and since its installation four
years ago but fifty bodies have been
sent there for cremation.
The high cost Of the crematory was
such that the members of the board
could not give it much consideration,
There was little business to come UP
at the meeting other than routine.
