HONORABLE ABNER coBURN CLEVELAND.

Mr.. Cleveland was born In Skowhe-
gan, Somerset county, Maine, in No
vember, 1899 He remained in his ma
tive State until he reached the age OF
seventeen. During his life there be
acquired IA fair education, and IN Jan.
uary 1858. started for California on the
steamer Star Of the West the boat that
was the first fired upon by the rebels
during the war Of the Rebellion. Upon
reaching the Pacific Coast, he engaged
IN mining in Tuolnmne aud Calavaras
Counties, until 1862 when he went TO
Plnmas County and engaged In the
stock business In May, 1868, he
crossed the mountains to Nevada and
located in Virginia City. His business
at that place was principally mining.
In 1860 he went to Washoe county and
engaged in the lumber trade. He was
one of the first to build Y ilume for
the purpose Of conducting wood and
timber down from the mountains, hav-
ing had one IN operation as early as
1868, at Simonds' place on Sim )rds
creek. at the mead of Little valley, near
I.akeview Station. This flume was two
and one-qnarter miles in length.
In 1866 Mr.. Cleveland was elected Il
Commissioner for Washoe county, and
was delegate to the State Convention
that year, and during a contest before
that body between the Winters and
Blaisdel delegations from Storey coun-
ty, Mr. Cleveland was a member OF the
committee that decided the matter and
held the deciding vote. This he cast
for Blaisdel in strict conjunction with
his instructions by the County Conyen-
tion, he having pledged himself to do
so, although Winters was his special
friend and employer, and pecuniary
benefits as we'll rs threats, were used
to deter him from doing so. 1t was
threatened that the patronage OF the
Kentuck Mining Company would be
taken away from him unless he dis
obeyed his Instructions, but be stood
firm and couseq uently lost their pat
rnnage General Clark says Of him;
His word is 4 more value to him
than money.
In 1868 he was n arrisd To his present
wife, Miss Kate NJ Peters, of Carson
City, Nevada. Unfortunately all their
children died in Infancy. The same year
Mr., Cleveland WAS elected TO the As
sembly of the State Legislature from
Washoe county. la tho fan of 1853,
he came TO Hamilton, and has ever
since been a resident of this county.
During the winter OF lS6S.69, he built
the toll-road running north from Ham
ilton. In 1870, ne was elected to the
State Senate from this county, and in
1871 he was appointed to prosecute tho
claims OF the State at Washington, ID.
G, and succeeded in getting an appro-
priation for the State Of $50, 600. In
1873. he moved to his present ranch in
Spring valley, where he engaged in
stock raising aud beautifyng the lands
of nature in his possession. In the pur.
suit of this business, into which he put
his heart aud soul, he imported mum

cattle and horses, and Cleveland pred

The fact that General Basil Duke,
evidently . most worthy gentleman,
was really not offered the judgeship
by President Roosevelt, has not deterr-
ed the Democratic press from abusing
the general because he saw his mis-.
take in being a Democrat and became
. Republican, and has made good i'm
preston ON the prominent Republicans
of the country. Very few Democrats
ever attain that high degree Of intel
ligence that enables them to see the
error Of their way and join the great
est party of the past, present and fu-
ture-the Republioan-aDd those who
do not are naturally envious. AS q
matter Of fact, however, it is reliably
reported from Washington, that the
whole judgeship affair started from a
joke in which President Roosevelt said
in the presence of a congressman who
came in when he was talking TO Gen.
eral Duke and asked about the judge
ship appointment, that he had lust
offered it to General Duke, who
wouldn't have it," The congressman
thought he wss in earnest and told 1t,
and the reporters did the rest. The
Democratic press is so eager to roast
General Duke, however, and arouse
resentment among the Republican as
pirsnts for the judgeship, it has failed
to publish the true statement Of facts.

The news comes from chicago that
the latest trust is religious educa-
tional trust. A dispatch to the Globe
Democrat says of it: THE whole
theory Of the new organization is that
of cooperation and combination. 1t
proposes to gather together everv sec
ular and religious educational agency
into a cooperating body, with itself
at the head. IL proposes to form de-
partments governing the different
agencies through which religious edu-
cation may be disseminated. 1t will
have q board of directors, an executive
committee ana all the powers of q
corporation. It will become such q
power in the land that finally it may
be that all educational institutions
must bow to its supremacy. By its
power it may destroy the force Of
varying creeds, unity, as far as pos
sible, all denominations under one
broad head and develop the spiritual
ity that exists in humanity"
