AFFORDS RARE OPPORTUNITY !
A Store Whose Every CustO-
me r Is a Satisfied One

Winnemucca affords shoppers the
opportunity to buy everything in the
market, and housekeepers have found
that they can buy everything here
that they could find in Sacramento or
San Francisco, in nearly every case
just as cheap, and often cheaper. 1t
is very pleasing to them to know that
at the busy, crowded store of c. B.
Brown & Co., they can find every
thing that is to be found any place
in town. and here there is a consis-
tent lowness in price that is building
up for the Browns an unequalled trade
in all lines they carry.
AT any time, lit came from Browns"
is a guarantee of quality; particular
ly is this true of the grocery depart
ment, which is kept stocked up with
the best staple and fancy goods by
careful and judieious buying. Just at
this season the shelves are packed
with seasonable goods-all new and
fresh-and the prices are made for
competition, and can't be beat. There
is an endless quantity of fruits, can
ned goods and delicacies; nuts. rel
ishes and condiments; choice lot OF
fine table wines and liquors, and
everything needed to make the Christ
mas dinner table a thing of beauty
and a joy for long time after. And
this year there is the fullest and COM
pletest line of fine candies this firm
has ever carried, an assortment or
dered especially for the Christmas
trade.
Their line of dishes is beautiful and
extensive, both in sets and in single
pieces. and contains many articles ap-
propriate and acceptable as Christ
mas gifts. THE other departments OF
the big store also offer many hints
to the puzzled buyer who desires a
useful article that will prove accep-
table as a present.
c. b. Brown & Co, deserve the
prosperity and the liberal patronage
they enjoy. The members of the firm
are pleasant, accommodating; they
appeal TO the public for a share Of
their patronage solely on the merits
of their goods and the uniformity and
lowness of their prices. Call in and
look around: their stock and their
prices will stand comparison.

SEEM UNM|NDFUL
Of FATE
Five Condemned Murderers at
Carson Are in the Best
of Spirits

Reno Journal, Dec. 16: Although the
time for execution is drawing near
the condemned men now uno-r death
watch at the state prison are cheerlel
and at all times unmindful of the fate
that awaits them.
German, Severns, Reidt and Linder-
man. the four murderers sentenced
from Humboldt county, and Cache
Sigmiller. the Indian boy from the
southern part of the state, are con-
fined in separate iron cells in the up
per floor of the large cell room. These
are the only iron Enclosures in the en-
tire building. but are considered the
most desirable location by the pris-
oners on account of the ventilation,
light and comparatively pleasant sur
roundings.
In order to accommodate the con-
demned men Warden Considine was
compelled to move seventeen of the
other prisoners.
These five men are constantly under
the eyes of a death watch, composed
OF eight men. each standing at eight
hour watch. They are exercised every
day during the noon hour in the pris-
on yard, while the other prisoners are
at lunch. Promptly at twelve they
are taken from the cells and allowed
to roam the enclosure at will.
Every man of the lot takes his fate
cody and is in good humor most of
the time. All of them are in the best
of health and spirits and at times
speaking lightly of the latal day.
In the cell room they spend most
of the time in reading and smoking,
the literature being furnished by the
prison officials.
The food given them is of the same
grade as that of the guards table,
which is somewhat superior to the
plain prison fare. All eat with
relish. showing that the confinement
has not affected their appetites as yet,
especially Cache.
Many letters are received daily, most
ot them expressing sympathy and con-
dolence. Oddly enough none of them
are from women.
Cache Sigmiller is by far the most
cheerful of the lot. and utterly un-
aware of the impending doom.
He is a cheerful. smiling Indian
youngster and takes the keenest IN
terest in everything. He is constant
ly looking through the cell bars to see
what the guards are doing and often
gets quite chummy with them, occa-
sionally addressing them by their first
name and ia pessimistic moments he
intimates slight dissatisfaction with
the confinement One day he con-
fided Il, a guard. saying that he would
prefer to attend the Indian school II
they would kindly let him out.
At times he is an unconscious hum
orist and his expressions afford much
amusement to the watch.
He is fully aware that somebody 10
to be hanged and his belief that the
lawyer who defended him is the one
to stretch the hemp may, under the
circumstances. be regarded as some
what justifiable impression.

CUBAN BILL PASSED
THE SENATE
Reciprocity Measure Carried
by Vote of 81 to iS--SpoOn-
er Against Newlands
washington, Dec. 16.-The Cuban
bill was passed, 81 to Is.

When the senate convened today Mr..
Spooner spoke on the Cuban reciproc
ity bill. He spoke on the varying po-
sitions of the opponents of the bill,
and especially of the Introduction of
the Newiands resolution inviting Cuba
To become part of the United States,
deprecating /; and saying that he
hoped it would be postponed indefinite
ly, because, he said, some times in
vitations are regarded as commands.
MIR. Spooner SAID the Newlands reso-
luton was indirect opposition to the
Teller resolution. Mr.. Mckinley had
put it all in a sentence when he said
tnat our Intervention must not be de-
manded as an indemnity. We could
not, he said, do less, and no nation
interfering between colony owning
government and one for the incre . ae
of its own territorial area except In
rare eases.
He believed that but for the Teller
resolution there would have been a
concert of action on the part of the
European powers against the United
States in it's war with Spain. For
these reasons, he said, he was opposed
10 the Newlands measure.
Mr. Spooner also replied to the
charge that the bill is in the interests
OF the sugar trust. referring to the
differing motives attributed by the OPP
ponents of the bill to the senators
who favor it.
