No Faith In Tonopah Railroad.

According to the Reveille the pre-
yailing opinion among the peole of
Austin is that the Nevada Midland
railroad from Idle to Tonopah will
never be built. John Everill, who ar
rived in Austin four weeks ago with
Chief Engineer Vail to take charge
of the construction work, employed
several young men to assist in the sur
vey and also made arrangements with
several of u citizens in relation to
furnishing teams for grading purposes.
Mr.. Everill became tired of the mac
tivity of waiting for orders to COM
work and finally bundled his
belongings together and started for
Salt Lake.
The outlook for the extension of
the Nevada Central railroad into To-
nopah is anything but bright.

Bishop O'Connell's Visit.

One of the most interesting and i'm
portant events in the history of the
Catholic church In Skowhegan was the
special visit of Rt. Rev. William II +.
O'Connell, Bishop of Portland, paid that
church for the purpose of confirming l73
candidates for membership. The Bishop
arrived here, Tuesday afternoon, and re-
turned TO Portland, Wednesday after
noon. There were also present a2quests
of Father Lacroix, Fathers Charland of
Waterville, Jouvin of Fairfield and Des-
ilets of Pennington to assist Bishop
O'Connell in the confirmation services.
Beside the morning mass and evening
vespers, and the confirmation exercises,
Bishop O'Connell preached a sermon In
English, Tuesday evening, to au audience
that measured the capacity of the church
edif1ce. Settees and chairs were placed
in the aisles and every available place
outside the pews, all the standing room
to the doors was fully taken and some
were obliged to leave without gaining
admission to hear this eloquent preacher.
Bishop O'Connell is man of fine pre-
sence, an attractive and impressive
speaker, and Father Lacroix and his
people were highly pleased with this
his first official visit The distinguished
gentleman expressed himself much graft
fled with the appearance of our town,
with the property of the church here,
particularly with the attractive and SUBJ
stantial school building now nearly COM
pleted, the dedication of which it is ex.
pected will occur In July. He approved
the work thus far done under the effec.
tive management and careful supervision
of Father Lscroix.
OF the 173 candidates who received
confirmation Is were adults and the
others were largely pupils of the Paro.
chial school and those who had been at
tendants at that school liz former years
1t was the largest number ever receiving
the rite of confirmation at any one timt
In the history of the church here. The
last continuation was by Bishop LaFlecht
of Canada, July 26, 1895.

LIQUOR Cases.

Monday last hearing took place be-
fore Judge Bacheller in the matter of
the liquor seizures made by Sheriff Pen
nell at the Express Cos. Office and at

seized. George W. Cover, county at
torney, appeared for the State, Butler &
Butler for the American Express Co., b.
F. Lewis and F. 9s Penney, claimants,
and Forrest Goodwin for Milford W -.
claimant. Gpon examination of Withee,
Lewis and Penney, 1t appearing that
the liquor was not intended for sale, their
packages were ordered given up to them
One box containing gallon Jug of al
cohol, two quart bottles of the same, ont
quart bottle of port wine, directed to
Eugene Mekeen, Skowhegan, Maine,
was declared forfeited This package
was intended to have been sent to Stone
ham, but by mistake WAS directed tc
Skowhegan. The company, however
did not press their claim upon this box
One box consigned to Thomas Mon
eille," containing four quart bottles oi
whiskey and one of port wine, one tC
James Avery, containing four quart bot
ties of whiskey, and one to John Mur.
ply, also containing four quart bottles
of whiskey, were declared forfeited. II
the last two cases the express companJ
claimed the liquors and appealed tht
cases to the Supreme court basing tht
appeal upon statement in substance al
follows:
"And now comes the American Ex
press Company, by their agent, c. r
Cook, said company being common
carrier, and specifically claims the right
title and possession In the items of pro
perty hereinafter named, as having tn,
right to the possession thereof at th'
time when the same were seized. AnC
the foundation Of said claim is that they
were and still are the property of saic
Express Company as common carriers
and that the goods so seized were still
in transit when 80 seized
The court held that liquors coming in
to the state by express marked c. O. D
are liable to seizure because the sale is
not completed and they are held for salt
in violation of law.

Free Cuba.

The transfer of authority from Gen.
Leonard Wood, representing the United
States, to Cuba's own president elected
by vote of the people, Thomas Estranda
Palma, occurred Tuesday, the goth in
slant, amid scenes of joy and rejoicing,
and the demonstrations were kept up
during the day and night.
The transfer occurred exactly at noon,
The ceremony was brief and simple,
Gen. Wood and Senior Palma faced each
other. Gen. Gomez stood Immediately
behind his future president in an open
space around which clustered the other
witnesses of the birth of the republic.
In a low but clear voice, Gen. Wood
read his letter turning over the island
to the Cuban government. Gen. Wood
then handed Senior Palma. President
Roosevelt's letter. President Palma had
listened patiently to the reading and he
Immediately replied in Spanish. The
Presidents voice rose until it rang
through the chamber as he declared his
government accepted the responsibilities
of sovereignty,
Thus has the United States govern
ment kept its promises to the young re-
public, doing even better than it pro-
posed to do and has turned over well
established government to President
Palma. The stability and success of the
republic depends upon the wisdom of
its rulers and patriotism and intelligence
of the people.
