THE DAY OF MEMORIES.
Decoration Day is Observed by the
People of Carson.


Monday, Decoration Day, saw Car
son City, true to the memories Of
those who have gone to the silent city
1t is true that the line of march was
not as long as usual but the sight If
the struggling veterans was the more
impressive. The boys in blue are fast
falling from the ranks, but the memory
of their gallant deeds is yet fresh IS
was shown by the banks of flowers
that were showered over the mounds.
The people have grown to observe
the day as it is intended. Every grave
is now a mark of respect. Every body
that rest in the city of the dead IS
marked by the resepct and all pay
their devoted attention to the depart
ed. AS some one said Monday, the line
of followers was scant. but the deco.
rations at the grave made up for all
that was missing in the line of march
The services were exceedingly i'm
pressive and two bands headed the
line of march. Miss iSab.en
reich recited a patriotic poem in 9
most touching manner, while the gre i
speech of Lincoln's was delivered b!
Morris Raycraft.
| Many people visited the grounds il
the evening, and owing to the COO
of day, the place resembled one vas
garden of flowers. Decoration Day wa!
littingly observed.

Better Progress Made in Building Last
The movement of material. especi-
ally rails and ties, during the past
week from Mound House has been bet
ter than at any time since track lay
ing began. A sufficient quantity of rails
and ties has been received during the
week to lay six miles of track and by
tonight the track will have reached
point between the thirty-seventh AMI
thirty eighth miles posts The track
laying forces were somewhat handi-
capped two days on account of the
storm, and considerable time has also
been consumed in constructing sidings
and 'Y'' at Deep Wells.
The station at Deep Wells will be
established by tonight. and the stage
will hereafter arrive and leave from
that point.
With good weather is hoped to lay
not less than five miles of track a
week from now on until the line
reaches Tonopah
The contractors are putting the f1n-
ishing touches to the depot site and
yards and the various spurs leading
to the mines. and within a few days
construction of the freight and passen-
ger depot will be started.
President Brock, after spending sew
eral days in camp, left on Wednesday
for the front, in company with Super

Carnival way. Yesterday Senator Liv-

his first good news was that a number
of the sea coast people had declared
their intention of coming to this city
to spend the happy days of the big
show.
| "Liv" was somewhat disappointed,
from the fact that he could not land
fight for the occasion. but he said
that you might just as well ask fight

finish fight as that is not in their line
fights as it prevents results and that
is one thing that the organization does
not want.

he is satisfied that Carson can have
great time when the Carnival ar
rives, as many people are coming here
as much for pleasure as anything else.
Mr.. Livingston had an opportunity to
size up the situation from the outside
and he is satisfied that if the people
only pull together, and hurrah for the
fun that is ahead. that Carson can
be in line with the greatest show The
State he's ever seen.
All of the outside districts are look
ing toward this city for the Fourth

arranging programs that are hard to
equal. The midway shows and the
free shows will be of novel character

THE CIRCUS.
The Floto Shows Pleased Both Old
and Youno


The Flote Shows Pleased Both Old
and Young.
II there is anything that delights
the entire population from the dusky
red skin to the new imports from the
fatherland. it is circus, and the Floto
circus, which exhibited Monday. ce--
tain1y was all that is advertised, clean,
good actors and the all round. neat
est show that has visited this city in
many years.
The afternoon performance was
greeted by a tent filed with people.
and the evening performance was
nearly the same order. In all. the
Floto people were greeted by big
and well pleased audiences.
The thing that appeals to the pep
pie is that it is a genuine circus, the
good old fashioned kind. They have
the best of horses. the handsomest
BAREBACK rider, Tin tights and the filter
ing skirt, graceful acrobats, tumbIe-s,
and, in fact, everything that goes 70
make the circus as it used to be. the
kind that father used to go to-"
There is one certainty. that should
the Floto people ever come this way
again, they will receive crowded TENS
as they kept their promises and their
men, from the management to tne
hustlers, acted as gentlemen.

for the Turf Queen.
Lou Dillon, 1.5s1z, queen of the trot-
ting turf and owned by C. K. C. Bill
lings of Chicago and New York, will be
shipped to California to the veteran
champion-maker, Budd Doble. who will
carefully winter her and prepare her
for her 1905 exhibitions and matinee
work.
Mr.. Doble long ago drove Dexter,
2.17A, and later Goldsmith Maid, 2.14,
TO worlds records, and in 1892 gave to
Nancy Hanks her low-wheel sulky rec
ord of 2.04, which was afterwards sup
planted by the 2.03% of Alix.
He has been in retirement for some
years, although in 1903 he raced his
young horse, Kinney Lou, 2.07%, in the
East. At the Empire City meeting that
year Kinney Lou won a sensational
stake event, defeating a crack lot of
trotters, including John Taylor, that
had won the $4,000 NJ. and NJ. stake

Cup in which she participated.

has been sold to Clark Griffith by Nc
Aleer and will play in the infield of the

Although it was known that McAleer
was wedding out his team, the selling
of Wallace was much of a surprise here
and there is not a little unfavorable
comment over it.
1t is predicted that Heidrick will also
be sold to the New York manager, who
is getting a veteran team together.
McAleer has a lot of young fellows
signed who are expected to take the
places of the veterans. Wallace will
replace Elberfeld, who will be sent to
second in place of Williams, who will

King. alias Harmony, alias High
Tide, picked up another prospective
prize winner at the Fasig-Tipton sale
of trotting stock in Madison Square
Garden to-day, when he paid 1885 for
the 17-year-old stallion Pedlar (2.1SHO,
by Electioneer.
This horse was purchased many
years ago by George B. Inches of Bos-
ton to be used as sire OF carriage
horses. He was not a great success
as a sire, but he is typical coach
horse himself, and, despite his age, II
is possible that he will be playing the
part of a housekeeping hackney in
heavy harness at the horse show next
year. Gov. Leland Stanford, who bred
him, received $25, 900 for Pedlar in 1889.
Several colts by Pedlar brought higher
prices than the old horse commanded.
High prices were not numerous at to-
days sale, although nearly everything
of real merit brought about all it was
worth. In the afternoon the bay trot-
ting mare Kittie Giltner (2,16A), fetch
ed the top price, $1,135. She was
bought by S. r. Walter of Summit, N.

trial of 2:11%. She was in the consign-
ment of Cyril Laurier of Montreal,

The buyer was Walter ]. Snyder. Lo-
canda has started in fifty-one races,
twenty of which he won.

REPORTER AS TURF OUTLAW.
Ban Placed ON Newspaper Man mt
New Orleans Later Removed.

New Orleans Later Removed.
New Orleans, Dec. Richard d.
Walsh, who came here as the sport
ing representative of st. Louis aft
ernoon paper and who has been do
ing the work to which he was assign
ed, was told to-day by President Bush
that under the rules of the Western
Jockey Club the privileges of the track
must be denied him. Walsh was at
one time private secretary to Marcus
DAILY, and was for long time a resi-
dent of Chicago.
While doing newspaper work in st .
Louis last spring he was offered the
associate judgeship at the Union Jock
ey Clubs track and he accepted ii .
AT the close of the season he return
ed to his newspaper job and was sent
here to report the races.
The idea in st. Louis seemed to be
that Walsh was being made a scape-
goat, by the Tilles-Cella- Adler gam
bling syndicate, which had six books
in the local ring.
The rule against Walsh was modified
three times before the days races were
over. The indignation of his fellow
reporters had the effect of restoring
to him the privileges of the track on
INC payment Vi tne usual stipend. Lat
er he was informed that the price of
admission would be reduced to a mere
formality. BY noon tomorrow he will
be restored to full privileges.
President Bush says he is not re-
sponsible for imposing a disability up-
on Walsh. He was expected to do
something in Walsh's case, and, being
q respecter Of rules, he did it. The
outlaw rule, however has not been
invoked against a few persons, who
have been reclaimed by the st. Louis
syndicate since the close of the st.
Louis season.

She Screamed, Crowd Collected
and the Negro Was Captured.
Davisboro, Ca. Dec. About noon
to-day Ben Hunt, colored, about II
years old, who had just served a term
on the changing for breaking into a
warehouse here. went to the home of
Mrs. A. w. Aldred. While there she
engaged him to cut some wood this
evening. Later, she says, her room
door opened. She looked up, saw Ben
and asked him what he wanted. He
made no reply, but displayed a knife
and advanced towards her. She arose
and called out and beat the negro
with a waiter. He ran out and went
towards the swamp, she following and
calling for help.
Very soon quite a lot of men and
boys, with guns and pistols, were
securing the swamp for Hunt. He ran
up to J. T. Burgamis and inquired who
they were looking for. When told they
were looking for him, he broke to run.
John Davis levelled his gun and made
him stop. He was then taken to Mrs.
Aldred who had no hesitancy in identi-
flying him. A warrant was sworn out
for him and he was committed and
sent to Sandersville jail. He was wet
from his neck down, where he had run
through the swamp.
Mrs. Aldred says he did not speak
or offer to put his hands on her, or
give any reason for being in her room,
but just advanced towards her with
knife drawn, and looked defiantly at
her.
Mrs. Aldred is widow with two
small children, who were at school
leaving her alone during school hours
There was considerable excitement
over the matter for a while, and some
talk of lynching Hunt was heard, but
Mrs. Aldred expressed herself as want
ing the law to take its course.
