The body now lies in the morgue here
awaiting the disposition relatives or
friends of the deceased may wish to make
of it. The immediate cause of death is
unknown, but it was not considered ne

reason to believe the cause was other
than natural.
Henry Nelson t~elegraphed here from
Stone House yesterday morning for a
coffin, saying a man had died there. IN
dertaker Cochran sent the coffin and tho
bcoy was brought here on No. 3 yesIer
day. A letter to Mr.. Cochran from Mr..
Nelson gave all the particulars that were
known of the mans death. Mr.. Nelson
said deceased was named Finnegan and
that he had been at Stone House about
a week. He was looking for work and
was promised a job herding sheep. He
was not well and become worse on FRI
day lie slept in the carriage house, and
about 8 o'clock that night two men Of
fered to stay with him, but F~innegan
said he was comfortable and wanted for
nothing. Next morning Mr.. Nelson
found him dead.
Finnegan rode an old horse to Stone
House. His effects consisted of a sad
die, an old watch and a few dollars in
money.
ID. j. higgins of this place was well ac-
quainted with the deceased, who was
here about ten days ago, coming from
Lovelock. He was an old friend of Mr..
higgins. who sent him money at Love-
lock. Mr.. higgins ssays that deceased
was employed by Senator p. l.. Flanagan
and Jack O'Brien of Reno twelve of ff-
teen years ago and that he was a man
who was highly esteemed by all who
knew him. Deceased was between So and
60 years old. AT one time he was in the
sheep business for himself, but lost ev-
erything during the hard winter twelve
years ago. Mr.. higgins notified Reno
friends of Mr.. Finnegan's death and re-
ceived a telegram asking that the body
be held pending arrangements for the dis
position of the remains. Deceased has a
brother living I'm Chicago, who is said to
be wealthy, and the body may be sent
to that city for burial.

EX-GOVERNOR HOARD, in Jt fer
son County Union: There Is one sig
niflcant lesson to be derived from the
Republican side of the late political
campaign in Wisconsin. General
Bryant, the able chairman Of the Re
publican State Central Committee,
fonud himself confronted with the
fact that a large number OF wealthy
men Of the state as we'll rs the rail
roads and other public service cor
| porations would not contribute any
money TO the election of Gov. LaFoll-
cite. SO he went ahead with almost
an empty treasury. The result is IA
larger majority than was ever OBJ
tanned in this state in an off year, in
spite even OF loss of about $1,000
votes from the stalwart faction. An
other blessed result is that the party
was not mortgaged to corporate
wealth, and is free to go ahead and
do its duty by the people of the state.
This raising of big sums Of money
Tor campaign purposes is demoraliz-
ing. 1t takes all OF the old time pa
triotism out of politics. 1t makes
workers and speakers mere hired
men tagged merely with party
name.
The Union is grateful for this dem
onstration of the native pith and vi
rility of those Republicans and dem
ocrats who contributed to this cheer
ing result, without being paid for
what thew did.

Neeuah Daily News; This discrim-

Press is one Of the points Of conten-
ton of which the conclusions rela-
tive to the better control OF public

true value Of legislative proclama-
ton on their behalf. The legislators
who stand in the way of a reasona-
BILE advance toward relief the coming
winter, will feel the power OF public
sentiment before their return to the
various districts. The great wealth
of railways has been gift from the
state in lands and high freight and
passenger rates, and it would seem
prudent in the railways to meet the
demands of growing public mtelli-
gence, at least to the extent Of a pro.
position that VIII not SAVIOR Of utter

Madison Democrat There is much
stuff written about an attempt to de-
feat Senator Spooner. This Is abso-
lutte and undiluted nonsense. The
legislature will re-elect the senator.
1t Is not imaginable that Governor
LaFollettr, even if he could, would
be u party to having one hundred
men violate their pledges. The as
sumption that he would do so is
based upon an extraordinary and,
judged by the past, an uuwarranted
conception of his integrity.

MINES AND MINING NEWS
OUTLOOK IN THE NORTHWEST.
Items of Interest of a Miscellaneous
Nature Gathered During the Past
Week-Ncsv Districts Brought TO
the Front-1Iining Accidents ana
Personals.

Practically no development work
has been done yet at Thunder Noun
tain, Idaho. The Dewey mine is ao-
mitted by all to be great properly
with only a small amount OF develop
ment; and the Fairview, the only 9TH
er property which has more than a
10-foot hole to it's credit, is at least
a promising prospect. The tunnel on
this property, which is being driven
by double shifts, has reached a depth
of 100 feet in a run of 175 feet There
are number of surface showings in
the camp that fully equal either the
Dewey or the Fairview outcrops. 1t
will be observed that the reports that
the camp is failure are not based
upon prospect work, for there is not
a barren hole in the camp, to prove
that the wonderful surface values do
not go down.
The food supply of the camp is still
limited to the immediate demands for
neceSsaries of life The roads are at
last passable for horses, but the snow,
mud and high waters interfere with
traffic from all trade centers. The
usual addition to outside prices is 20
cents per pound. There is still no
supply of clothing, hardware or drugs
in the camp, but reports are common
that stocks of general merchandise
are en- route.
