a serious misliap occurred OH the cut.
oil east OF Promontnry point II Few days
ago. Although the utmost sccn:cJ has
been preserved by the officials OF the
company, the infor NATION has leaked
out that for a distance. 4 two milee the
track has sunk from three to live feet
and has dipped to the touth about
twenty-five degrees, making further
traffic impossible until the damage done
has been repaired. This will take some
considerable time. In the imeantine
supplies and traffic are being conveyed
to the graders and 9th: r iaborers arouud
the Lake by way Of Tacoma and Hogup.
The part which has given away Inns
for months been subjected to n very
Sc we're test. many trains heavily loaded
with gravel Tor ballast having pissed
over il daily. But it WIS the work OF
the 81, menis which no human power
can control, which proved the cause OF
the present breakdown. About Thurs
dry Of last week. u strong wind. almost
Il gale, broke from the NORTH, driving
the lake into Il fury. Tie constant LASH
ing of the breakers against the trestle
aud embaukment work proved mora
than the construction could withst and.
Although there was no wnshout the road
was partially undermined. causing the
sinking Of thu roadway and the conse-
quent striking Of the track from the
level.
The work OF repairing will be carried
out by the temporary j~aclinG up OF the
track so rs to permit pile drivers to be
taken ont, when additional piles will be
driven, more ballust dumped AMI the
Whole structure materially strer gthr ned
in every respect.
The present collapse is one which
would almost battle human foresight.
The density Of the lake adds materially
to the power Of the waves, and such
storms are a contingency which must be
carefully guarded against. Doubtlts rs
the damage done will Don be repaired,
but it is stated by those who speak with
some authority on the matter that there
is yet a twelvemonth's work to be done
before the cutoff is an accomplished
fact, in the full acceptation OF that term.

TIL. Whiskey selling Cases.

The conviction OF Cecil Moore un the
charge Of selling liquor To minors and
the result III the other cases should not
only be Il matter Of cOngratulatiou to
the law abiding people OF the town, but
should also serve as II warning to- al en-
gagged III the liquor traffic. While Il
very large proportion Of the saloon
keepers OF the town are honorable, law
abiding citizruS, there are II few en-
gagged in that business tina: have no re-
gard FOR the law that prohibits them
from selling liquor to minors. 1t is to
this class that the result in the Cecil
Moore cose should serve rs Il warning.
Constable Mccoy deserves the thanks
OF the community for his efforts to break
up this shameful business. He made
the arrests and gathered the evidence
in these cases. While some are disposed
to criticise HE work, the INDEPENDENT
is quite sure that in all that he did he
has the hearty support Of every citizen
Sho believes in enforcing the law in
Elko and making it a clean, respect able
place for parents to raise their children.
1t is only by the EN- torcement Of the law
that our school can be built up and the
town made a desirable place for people
10 live.
There is also another view OF cases OF
this kind that deserves conside ration,
and that ls the part played by the boys.
There should be some pun il hment
melted out to them. Especially should
this be the case where they deceive the
saloon keeper by lying about their ages.
In such cases they should be taught
TINT lying is not only a moral crime Mt
all times, but infinitely worse when it
makes criminals OF other men. Whethe r
the boys lied to get the liquor in the
case under consideration, the writer doee
not know because he did not hear the
evidence Mt the trial. II they did, they
should be taught in some way that lying
under such circumstances is not only a
moral crime, but also a crime that de-
serves severe punishment at the hands
Of the law.

To Glenn Delicate LRces.

Sometimes all that ia necessary to
clean II p~iece'of lace, lsays the London
Express, is to lay it between two sheets
or white or blue paper, first sprinkling
it with powdered magneaia. Next place
it between the leaves oi a book for sew
eral days: then shake out the m%agnesia.
When washing is necessary, take Il
cylindrical plnss bottle, half filed with
Sand or water, To prevent the water
when boiling from tossing about too
violently. Very carefully wind the lace
around this bottle and cover it with n
layer OF cheesecloth. \ still better
way is to haste the lace smoothly and
exactly on n piece OF cheesecloth and
rinse thoroughly. Allow the lace to re-
main on the bottle until it is dry, then
remove it and separate from the cheese
cloth, When real lace has become
stained or greasy from wear, place it in
a bath Of pure olive oil and allow it to
remain for several hours, or even Il dry
or two.
This gives back the softncss OF tex
turc ii possessed when new. After this is
accomplished, wind the lace on the bot.
tie and proceed with the boiling.
When the lace is too lnrge to wind
around n bottle, haste it evenly and &c.
curely to n piece OF chcesecloth with
small stitches in parallel lines across the
surface Of the lace. Basic another piece
OF cheesecloth over it, and boil ID a
series OF waters,
After rinsing, which must be accom-.
plished by pressing and squeezing, but
never by ringing, pin the cloth uPon
which the lace is basted smoothly to n
eheet stretched on curtain frames until
the lace is dry.
To iron unsiarched lace, place It right
side down upon Il padded ironing board.
Over this spread carefully n damp cloth,
and press with a hot iron until the cloth
is thoroughly dry. A little white sugar
ndded to the water in which the over
cloth is dampened will stifren the lace
and is much better than starch.

pEMocRArIc rRosrEcrs.

The situation politically is one that Ii
continually Frightening at the Demo-
cratic end, aud IL tho Democrats OF
congress will only caucus closely and
decide carefully upon their policy be-
tween now and ext June, they can do
magnificent work in bringing the party
upon the national field in winning form.
So for rs tho nomination OF President
Roosevelt by the Republicans Is con-
cerned, the Democrats need not worry.
Let him be nominated, II the Democ-
racy cannot beat him they can hardly
hope to beat any Republican. He has
saddled and bndled the party n is
riding it rough and hard. He is making
independent Republican voters every
day. So long us he is doing that the
Democrats can afford to let him caper,
aud curret as he will.
That the great conservative business
interests OF the country are afrnid OF
n second trial OF Roosevelt is too plain to
bear contradiction. He may go mildly
enough now, while the question OF his
nomination and election are pending,
but with these assured and the ides Of
March, 1905, past, only the Omniscient
can tell what Roosevelt would then do.
He is out to be elected president on his
own account. He means, il elected, to
stlnd out in presidential annals rs one
altogether unique and individual to the
republic.
1t is no wonder TINT "a man with his
nerve, ambition and readiness should
be feared by those who see the interests
Of the country standing in jeopardy
every day with such n man IN the White
House. As to Roosevelt, the Democrats
need only to fluid n wise, stable and coz
stitutional Democrat Of clean record
and unquestioLe ed patriotism. Between
the two the choice will not be hard for
auy Democrat nor for thousands OF con-
sentative Experimentation Consti-
tuition.

AFFIRMS FINDING AGAINST
ILLINOIS COAL TRUST
Appellate Court Affirms Judge Hor-
toms Decision.

Chicago: A blow was delivered to
the coal trusts of Illinois Thursday
when the appellate court affirmed
Judge Horizons decision in the crimi-
nal court prosecution of the corpora
tions and officers forming the Northern
Illinois soft coal dealers association
The indictments were returned by a
special grand jury in January, 1903,
during the anthracite miners strike.
The corporations submitted their cases
on statement of facts, after waving
a jury in the criminal court, and were
fined $500 each for violating the law.
They then appealed, alleging the re-
cords were filled with errors. The
decision Thursday declared there
were no reversible errors and that
the corporations which had pooled
their interests and styled their or
ganization the Northern Illinois soft
coal dealers association was working
in restraint of trade and was a Grim
inal conspiracy under the statutes and
common law.
The indictments returned by the
special grand jury charged that the
corporations and officials generally did
"unlawfully, fraudulently, maliciously,
wrongfully and wickedly conspire and
agree together to do an illegal act
injurious to public trade"
