Insure Your Property

The long and very excessive
drought, together with the dry
leaves that fall and accumulate
upon houses, at this season Of the
year, greatly increases the risk of
loss from fire. The discreet home
aud property owner will not allow
a day to pass without carrying q
reasonable amount of insurance.
1t was probably your neighbours

last month, or last year but who
knows where the next fire will
occur. 1t may be your property,
which represents the savings of
many years. We do not write in

in any agency but believe that the

Women Buy Advertised Goods.

Here is an odd fact proving that
advertising has for more influence
upon women than upon men. A
certain Broadway, N. ", clothing
store which handles line of mems
clothing not widely advertised,
also carries a side line of children's
clothing made by a firm which
uses whole pages in the magazines.
A newspaper reporter was told
that this discrepance in stock is
due to the fact that women, who
are the natural buyers of children's S
clothing, insist on having makes
that are advertised in magazines
and daily papers, and simply will
not take substitutes. Mere man,
however, is more manageable.
When he wants the advertised
makes he usually assures himself
that he is going to store where
they are sold. If he does not take
this precaution there is little diff
Guilty in convincing him that all
makes of mems garments are near
ly alike, that the unknown makes
are just as good and considerably
cheaper, and that the cost of the
publicity is tackled onto advertised
lines.

Land EaSy TO Reclaim.

To reclaim Nevada lands will be
much less laborious than was the
clearing of the claims in Ohio or
Indiana where heavy timber stood
in the way. But it is impossible
to guide a man at distance, says
the pamphlet on New Nevada, "
since to ask about the land values
is like asking the size of a piece
of chalk, and the best way for any
one interested would be for him
to take advantage of the low
rates and make personal visit to
the State. He will find much to
interest and instruct him, and
whether he secures a home or not
he will have a better idea of his
own country and find his mind
bIoadened and his health better
for the vacation.

Art and AdvertislnQ.

Art and advertising may not be
wholly synonymous, but as rule
the advertising that is artistic
from the typographical standpoint
is the one that attracts. Within
the past ten years Typographical
art has made radical advances.
Before 1890 it was thing of
Egyptian ornaments and as many
faces of type as the compositor
could crowd into the space given
him. But the reform has made
simplicity the main typographical
virtue. Nowadays a printer can
do an immense range of work
with two or three series of type,
and piece of artistic composition
is something that appeals to the
best taste of the reader. Formerly
it was an exhibition of the diff
ferent faces at the compositor's
command, or as many of them as
he could use. The present ten
dency is to make all printed mat
ter easy to read, and the highest
forms of art find expression in ad-
vertising matter.-Printers' Ink.

WHAT Constltutes Abandonment2

The Pacific Coast Miner says
that it has several times called at
tention to the fact that the mere
failure to do the annual assess
ment work on claim is not equiv
alent to an abandonment. There
is a paragraph now going the
rounds of the press which declares
that failure to do assessment
work constitutes an abandonment.
That this is erroneous is clear
from the provisions of the Con-
gressional mining law, which al
lows a locator to resume work
on his claim without making a
new location, at any time previous
to'its being located or jumped by
any other locator. If failure to
do assessment labor operated as
an abandonment, the locator who
resumed work after his default
would be compelled to make re-
location. This is certainly not the
law. There is a clear difference
in law between an abandonment
and a forfeiture, which it is inn
portant to notice, because each is
governed by a rule of its own.
Intention is always necessary to
constitute abandonment, but not
so in forfeiture.

Novel Way Of Shaking and Raising Vessel

Novel Way OF Shaking ana Raising VesseI.
A curious experiment has been
tried in Germany with calcium
carbide for raising and sinking a
submarine craft. The boat is pro-
vided with an ordinary acetylene
generator with a large reservoir,
which is connected at its upper
part with a water tank. Both the
tank and the reservoir have pipes
from their bottoms leading into the
sea, and vertical tubes from their
tops leading into the air. When
the tank and reservoir are filled
with water the boat sinks; to raise
it, carbide cartridge is inserted
into the generator, large amount
of gas is suddenly produced which
enters the reservoir, driving the
water with which it is filled down
through the outlet pipe into the
sea, and if the increasing gas be
now permitted to enter the water
tank, it will likewise force the

AN ADDRESS TO VOTERS
The RepabliCaa State Central Committee
Opens Campaign.

cal campaign, for the purpose of
determining the future policies of
this grand republic; believing as
we do that it becomes the duty of
every citizen to conscientiously and
honestly consider matters govern
mental and political, to the end
that the future conduct of those
affairs may be such as will confer
the greatest good to the greatest
number of people governed; rec
ognizing the necessity and rights
of the two dominant political par
ties of the United States to appeal
to the people upon these questions
we modestly submit for the con-
sideration of the people of this
State the questions at issue be-
tween these two great parties, and
ask them with that feeling of
honesty that constitutes a good
citizen, to consider the history of
these two parties, and the practi-
cal illustration of their separate
administrations, and compare them
with the benefits derived from
each respectively, and after such
deliberation upon the questions to
array themselves upon the side of
the party that from the evidence
obtainable, promises the best
government.
We point with pride to the
Republican party which has, with
the exception of two terms, since
1861, had control of the govern
mental affairs of the United
States; we ask you to take into
consideration the many changes
and conditions that have taken
place during that time, and from
such comparison to determine
whether it is not true that this
great party is the party of the
hour; the party of progress; the
party of the people, and for the
people; the party equal to the
emergencies and exigencies that
arise from the many new con-
ditions and circumstances, brought
about in this progressive age, by
an aggressive, intelligent people.
Compare its past history with the
history of the reign of Grover
Cleveland and the Democratic
party, and decide whether you
will ally yourselves with the for
mer or latter party in the coming
campaign. Remember that neither
of these great parties have any
probationary periods of member
ship; that you are a Republican
or Democrat from the moment
you decide to cast your ballot
with the one or the other of these
parties; that you are entitled to
admission to the counsels of the
Republican party from the time
that you make your decision and
are eligable to receive the nomi-
nation of that party for any Office
to be filled by the ballots of the
people at the next election
We particularly invite those of
our citizens who so valiantly
fought the battle of one of the
principal products of this State
from 1892 to 1900, who in an effort
to maintain the silver product at
parity with the gold product, for
sock their party and entered into
an alliance with the parties that
promised them a victory for that
principle, to assist us in handling
and controlling the live questions
of to-day, that confront us as
whole people.
We admonish the members of
