DEATH OF JUDD RIDDLE.
Remains Taken to His Old Home in
Ohio for Interment.


Another of Eureka's old resi-.
dents passed away last Tuesday when
Judd Riddle lapsed into the final sleep
at $3.50 p. m. His death occurred at
the Wentworth Hospital at Reno,
where he had gone a month before
for a surgical operation on his foot that
was injured more than a year ago.
The operation was performed on Febru-
airy 8, and was said to have been success
full. Later he contracted typhoid fever
and his weakened constitution could
not stand the additional strain, and
after a brief struggle he gave up the
fight. The Masonic fraternity took
charge of the remains and communi-
Gated with the family of deceased and
the lodges to which he belonged to as
certain their wishes for the funeral ar
rangements. The body was embalmed
and left Reno Thursday for his old
home in the East, where interment
viii take place.
Judson Bennett Riddle was a native
of Ashland, Ohio, where he was born
56 years ago. He came to Eureka in
1872 as a lineman of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, in whose
employ he continued in this section for
eight years. In 1880 he went to work
for the Eureka g. Palisade Railway
Company at Palisade, and remained
with that company in different capaci-
ties up to the time of his death. Mr..
Riddle was appointed Assessor of Eu.
reka County upon the death of Assessor
]. O. Powell, and at the end of his term
re-entered the employ Of the Railway
Company. For the past three years he
was conductor on the E. & P. between
Eureka and Palisade.
Judd Riddle was widely known in
Eastern Nevada, and his integrity,
cheerfulness and kindness of heart
made him a general favorite with every
one. No person was more highly es-
teemed and popular in this section, and
the news of his death was q sad mes
sage to the entire community.
Mr.. Riddle is survived by his mother
and a sister, Mrs. Harriet Thomas, who
reside at Ashland, Ohio. He was a
member of Montgomery Lodge No. 27O,

A IN SILVER.
Oriental War Has Raised the Price
of Mexican Dollar.

Washington. Feb. 15.-The Insular
Bureau Of the War Department is in
formed that the value Of the Mexican
dollar at Hongkong to-day is 4SL cents,
a jump of two points since Saturday
This places the coin on q practi-
cal parity with our own silver Philip
pine peso. The Mexican dollar has
practically advanced from 81 cents to
its present figure within a year. This
last increase is explained ut the War
Department by the statement that the
war has caused a heavy drain, Chinese
and japanese merchants converting
much of their stock into cash to be pre-
pared for emergencies. The result is
expected to be the practical extirpation
of the Mexican dollar in the Philip
pines, an object very much desired, for
a heavy import duty on Mexican dollars
will keep them out of the islands once
they are drawn.

the Western Pacific railroad will go

would not pass through Elko. because
of the great expense in getting through

Democratic Charges OF Reckless tx.
travaKance Back ed Up by Campaigrers.

The Democratic State committee issued
last night a statement replying to the one
made by Governor Chairman Odell on Fri
day night. in which he sought to show that
the charges contained in the platform
adopted by the Democratic state conven-
ton that his administration had been marked
by reckless extravaganza were not justi-
fed because the great growth in the popu-
lation since 1894, the year Of the last Demo
cratic State government. had warranted the
increased expenditures, which amounted
to over slO,OO0.O 900 as compared with the
sum spent by Gov. Flower 3 ADM mis- tration
In the statement drawn up last night
by the Democratic State committee it was
shown that the appropriations for 1904
were 90 per cent. in excess OF those OF the
last year of Gov. Flowers term OF Office,
In 1894.
Ten consecutive years Of Republican
rule in the State of New York are charac-
terized by reckless, wasteful. wanton ex-
pendtures OF public moneys" the state
