The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1903-07-09

Towns as we'll as merchants,
must advertise in order to pros
per. When a village is allowed to
go out of public notice through
lack of energy and enterprise, the
decadence of that village has be-
gun, and nothing but well-directed
advertising, backed by an infusion
of new life, can restore that place
to its original standing. Thus we
find that the town that has the
county fair each year, and improv-
es it annually, becomes we'll known
through that medium. The town
that keeps its roads in good repair
propogates an interest for itself
among all who visit it.

Some months ago, parties from
the East visited Nevada, their
main point being Tonopah, for the
purpose of securing material for
a write-up of the State in Harper's
Weekly. Harper's Weekly is a
well-known publication. and has a
large cirulation, and when the rep
resentatives of that journal APP
peared in the field OF Nevada
and sprang their graft, many
thought it would he of advantage
to our State to have her resources
set forth to the many thousands of
readers of such a paper rs Harpers
Weekly. They paid. And now
comes the special edition of the
paper. 1t contains some sixteen
pages of matter relating to Ne
vada and Tonopah, and some very
poor h~alf-tones of different views
in the State. The write-up is n
very bum affair, being nothing but
a re-hash of what has from to time
appeared in nearly every paper in
the State. 1t is understood that
Reno people are stuck to the tune
of about $1,000 on this deal, while
the Tonopah folks, not to be out
done, got in for about $4,000.
This much money spent at home
divided among the fourteen
counties-would produce literature
which would give the resource of
each county in better shape and
fuller detail than would ten such
write-ups as that in Harper's. 1t
is just another case of our citizens
believing that they are to get some
good advertising by patronizing
outside ''talent,' being willing to
pay a good price for it and being
buncoed to the queens taste.

Special Grand Jury at jackson In.
yestigatina tie Matter.

jackson, Ky, May 2S.-The special
grand Jury has begun the ~inyestiga-
ton of the assassination of City Mar
shall James G. Cockrjil, here last July.
As in the Marcu1n Gaze, the assassin
was stationed in the courthouse,
shooting Cockrill with a rife from the
courtroom window as he stood in the
door, II VS. inlIn2diatsiy after this
that men in sympathy with the Cock
rill brothers had to fee the country
for safety. Among them was Captain
John FatlilE, who in a letter to Judge
RedHsine aopn slterward, said that he
and others SAN the assassin and would
come BACK aad testify if troops were
sent to protect them. The knowledge
he posses ed put a price on his life.
Judge Redwias declined to ask for
troops and had an attachment issued
for Patrick, who to escape going back
to what he considered certain death,
has since had to live in seclusion. 1t
Is said he will appear to testify and
with others will name the assassins.
The assassination Of DR.. Cox, the
Cockrill boys uncle, will be taken
up next.
II seems certain now that, to avoid
a mistrial, the trial Of Curtis Jet and
Tom White, accused of the assassina-
ton of j. b. Marcum, will not be en-
tered into until next week. when the
regular term begins. The special
term ends Saturday.

standing boards. Buffalo was select.
ed as the next place Of meeting, and
). the way was cleared for the hearing
of the most important subjects that
arc on the programme, namely, the re.
ports on the revision of faith, divorce
and marriage, and the consideration
of the Tennessee overture on the ques.
ton of separate presbyteries for col.
ored people.
The entire morning session was
taken up in discussion Of the report
on foreign missions.
The assembly finally disposed of the
Rev. Louis Reichter case of the synod
of Minnesota. This case has caused
much interest in Presbyterian circles.
The Rev. Reichter was charged with
having acted as agent for breweries
in the distribution of literature and
was suspended by his synod and for.
hidden the practice of clerical duties.
It was further charged that he sought
aid from saloon men and breweries in
the raising of a fund to prosecute his
case before the assembly. The com.
mittee IN judiciary reported adversely
on the case and the assembly unani-
mously approved the committees de-
cision, and Rev. Reichter was thus
barred from the church.
Rev. Louis Reichter was a Minneap-
oils pastor. "H-r# . !.
The largest part of the afternoon
was given over to consideration of the
report of the board of publication and
Sunday &hool and extensive speeches

KILLED LIN COLLISION
PASSENGERS ON a BRITISH
STEAMER ARE CRUSHED IN
~. o#.# THEIR BERTHs.

Antwerp, May 2s.-The British
steamer Hudaersield, which sailed
from this port Tuesday for Grimsby,
Eng, eCiIi1oa with the Norwegian
teaI3ar Ute. The Euddersf1eld is re-
ported to have f%oundered. From fit
teen to twenty-five of her passengers
are said lo have lost their lives. The
crew were saved. The passengers
were mostly seamen returning to Eng
land. 1t is believed they were
crushed in the collision. The bows
of the Uto were damaged.
1t was ascartained here later that
twenty-five Austrian and Italian emil
grants persisted when the Hudders-
field sank.
The survivors of the Huddersfield,
passengers and crew, were picked UP
by the Tito, which landed them here.
The survivors say the dead were
nearly all crushed while asleep in
their beTths, The collision was so
sudden that there was no time to
launch the Huddersfield's boats. The
disaster is attributed to the electric
lights of a dredger, anchored in mid
river, which dazzled the pilots of the
cOlliding steamers, who were thus I'M
able to G the danger of collision in
time to avoid the crash.
The Tito was struck on the port side
by the Huddersfield, whose immi-
grants were asleep in the fore cabin.
