Says Statement of
Bigamist Is
False.

On another page of this issue
will he found an article to the
effect that Dan O'Doan, serving
a sentence III the State peniten-
tiary for bigamy, will petition
the board OF pardons at its Ian
uarY meeting for freedom He
is quoted as saving that one OF
the women whom he married is
ready to sue him for divorce.
This statement undoubtedly re
fers to Wive No. l, who resides
i'll Fallon.
Mrs O'Doan was visited by a
STANDARD representative yes
terday and interviewed regard
ing the matter. She stated that
she would use every effort in her
power to the end that her form
er husband should be compelled
to serve the Ell tire sentence and
that so long as he sought par
don she would not ask for a
divorce.
This man O'Doan's nerve in
applying for pardon compares
favorably with the brazen man
ner Ill which he took unto him
self his second wife, with full
kno Wedge that he was legally
bound to another.
The law in such cases appears
to us to be entirely too lenient.
a trip to the O'Doan residence
will convince anV one OF that
fact. Here in little cabin, sur
rounded hv a family of FIVE bows,
lives the Victim of the bigamis S
monumental nerve, arrogance,
and finally crime. While he
struts about the prison un-
moved in conscience, this poor
woman is wearing her life away
over the washtub to keep the
wolf from the door.
O'Doan is not lacking i'll cheek
nor does he care that flesh and
blood should be SO cheap and
bread so dear"

Club
IS Soon to be
Formed.

The citizens of Fallon have
aroused from their slumbers and
are going to spare neither paths
nor expense to see that Fallor
is placed distinctly on the map.
Last Tuesday evening there
was an enthusiastic meeting of
townspeOple in the courthouse,
called for the purpose of devisiug
ways and means for advertising
this section and for the object
of taking steps to try and in
duce the Southern p acific to eX-
tend its line into and through
this place. p Med Fuller was
made chairman of the meeting
and N w Willis, secretary.
Senator Williams addressed
the meeting and stated that
during his recent visit to San
Francisco he called upon Chief
Engineer Hood of the Harri-
man lines to learn if possible
whether or not the proposed
cutoff from Hazen would pass
through Fallon. Mr.. Williams
said he was given some encou-
ragement and he believed that if
some inducements were offered
the great corporation it would
favor our people.
4 resolution was introduced
and passed teeing to the
5. =. right of way from Fal-
Ion to HaZen, free of expense to
the company. MIR. Douglass
and Mr. Williams vouchsaled
for the resolution and generous
ly guaranteed to meet al ex-
pense should any arise in secur-
ing a right of way.
A committee consisting of
Messrs. Williams, Douglass,
Willis, Howe and SMALL was
appointed to gather data per-
tanning to this section and to
forward it to the company as
soon as possible.
The advisability of organizing
Chamber of Commerce was
also discussed and it was the
unanimous opinion of the meet
ing that such an organiza ton
would be of great benefit to this
section. The Chair appointed
Messrs. SMALL, Smitten and
Richards to interview the citi-
zens and ascertain their views
upon the matter. The commit
tee is meeting with gratifying
encouragement. The Chamber
will start out with large mem
bership. Every merchant and
private individual having the
best interests of Churchill coun-
ty at heart should become a
member. Each member will be
required to pay monthly due
to help defray expenses.
Another meeting will be held
in the courthouse this evening
at 7:3O O'Clock and it is to be
trusted that everyone who can
will attend and take part in the
discussions. It's all for the good
of Churchill county. Get in line
and be a booster.

Maps AND LONGEVITY.
Two Interesting Impressions Brought BACK
to the Busy City From Cape Cod.

"We have just returned from Cape Cod
where we spent our vacation with great
uncle" said the Manhattan woman, and
] brought two vivid impressions back with
me.
"One was the picture of our great-uncle,
SO years old and as straight as an arrow,
standing waist deep in the water, hauling
in fish as fast as he could handle the line.
His hair and beard are snow white, but his
cheeks are as ruddy as a schoolboy's.
The other thing was little interview
we had when we called at the home OF the
local expressman to see about having our
baggage sent ahead of us to New York.
His wife came to the door, and when we
asked for the man of the house she seemed
doubtful.
"Of course, If it's urgent, I can call him.
she said, but hate to, for he's just takin'
his nap
+We begged her not to disturb him and
said we had no idea he had so much night
work that it made it necessary for him to
sleep in the daytime.
"'0h. no. she explained, it isn't that,
but he always takes a nap at this time OF
day. / guess you'll find that pretty near
everybody on the Cape is takn' a nap just
about now
And sure enough, we did"

calls rising young man.
| Mrs. Herrick herself is not club woma n
for the reason that there are no women's
clubs in Albany. But she is very active
in charitable work. The family belong
to the Dutch Reformed Church, and Mrs.
Herrick and her daughters are engaged
in its numerous affairs. Mrs. Herrick
is president of the board of lady man
ayers of the Albany Orphan Asylum and
is an active member of the Industrial
Society of the Albany Hospital she con-
tributes to and inquiries into the matters
of the Albany Mission.
Miss Helen and Miss Bertha are members
Of the Daughters Of the Revolution.
Both Mrs. Herrick and the Judge are
fond of young people. One Of Judge Her
rick s great pulls lies with the young men.
He is fond of the young and has a great
faculty for making them like him. His
smile is absolutely hypnotic and there is
nothing he enjoys more than being invited
to banquet Of young men.
Il like to keep from growing DID, he
says.
But really he associates with young men
because he enjoys their society, sympa-
thizes with them and is as young at heart
as any.
In Albany and New York. and, indeed,
all up State there are hundreds Of young
men who will cast their first vote for Judge
Herrick this fall Their families are of
Republican principles and they will vote
for Roosevelt. But for Governor they
will split the ticket and go for Herrick.
Mr.. Herrick. from the beginning Of his
political career as District Attorney until
now, has had more first voters than any
other man that ever ran for political Office,
Many of the young men who call upon
him are Office seekers. They have a strong
and commendable desire to get into
politics. They want to get in, not for the
money nor for the honor but because they
conceive it to be duty To these Judge
Herrick gives the right kind Of advice,
helping some and discouraging others
As proof of his popularity with young
men, it can be mentioned that he has been
given partridge dinners at the University
Club of Albany, which is a young mems
club, and game dinners at all the other
clubs and hotels in Albany. At these
dinners it was no unusual sight to see a
dozen young men Of twenty surrounding
Judge Herrick, all laughing and chatting.
"The Judge never leaves you in the Sigh
est doubt of his disapproval," said one
young man who had been confding in
him. "But he never pitches into you. He
always syrnpathizes with you just the
same. He can influence you without
seeming to do SO"
And that is one of his secrets. He can
influence YOU without seeming to do so.
From the minute his nomination was
announced Judge Herrick began to receive
kilograms of congratulation. A cable ar
rived from Paris ten hours after the news
was flashed from Saratoga. A London
cable arrived within twelve hours Within
twenty-four hours there were two bushc
baskets Of letters and kilograms Of con-
graduation
The next day there were twice as many
And these letters are still arriving. They
are from Democrats and Republicans
alike. One OF them reads:
Il shall vote for Roosevelt for President
but for Herrick for Governor"

toward the City Hall.

toward the City Hall.
This house was once the home & Daniel
Manning, and Mrs. Manning, his widow,
now lives next door. Judge Herrck bought
the house of the Manning estate and after
extensive renovation he moved into it with
all the heirlooms OF the Herrick family.
Although Judge Herrick leads a life
which is well filled with honors and duties
he finds some time for home amusements
He is fond of pets, and when he walks
around his library small poodle, Dandy,
Is pretty sure to follow in his footsteps.
Back Of the house in the grounds there
stands dog kennel. and here there are
handsome hunters, the property of Charles
Herrck. and there is also a fighting bull
dog Mr. Herrick is very fond OF pets and
can never refuse dog that is offered to him
either as gift or as a purchase.
Near neighbors to Judge Herrick, past
or present, have been Judge Amasa Parker,
Bradford r. Wood. Daniel Manning The
Fort Orange Club is across the street, and
on Saturday night Judge Herrick runs
across to tell stories and have little supper
with his friends.
These Fort Orange Club suppers are
famous. Here, Gov. Odell, Senator Hill,
Judge Parker and others have met on Sat
urday nights to talk together on neutral
ground
Last Christmas the Fort Orange Club
had a Christmas tree. David B. Hill re-
ceived a bottle of Herrick's liniment, and
Judge Herrick received banner on which
was written: Peace be with thee. Dowie
HILL Senator Hill has frequently dined,
with the Herrick family. )
A particularly pleasant spot is Judged
Herrick's family dinner table. Being Of
good New York Dutch origin the family
table still clings. in a way, to the good old
Dutch Van Twiller living.
Mrs. Herrick in her youth was famous
baker of pies. But of late she has left the
pies to tho pastry cook Miss Helen Her
rick-for in Albany every girl must learn
housewife ery-made the family jam this
year. and when not busy at her literary
pursuits has done up her mothers pre-
serves.
Not to know how to cook is disgrace in
Albany, and so both Miss Helen and Miss
Bertha Herrick boast their proficiency in
this line. After Miss Helen Herrick was
graduated from the finishing school the
Judge said:
Cook the dinner, my daughter, and I
will give you diamond ring"
For three months Miss Helen studied
cookery. Then came the eventful dinner
all prepared by her own hands, II con-
sisted OF soup, roast beef, mashed potatoes
and pudding. The Judge brought home
the ring and bestowed it after the feast
Everything was n success at that dinner,
even to the salt and the ice water.
Judge Hcrrick himself boasts many an
accomplishment. He is great walker
He enjoys the theatre and sees all the new
plays. When in New York he lives at the
Holland House, and there is never a first
night that does not find him in the stalls.
At home he plays cards, sings WELL is
something Of musician, and is an all
round entertainer. His dinners to the
Supreme Court have been famous for
years for the wit of the host.
The Judge reads great deal and is fond
Of the newspapers. He considers them
great educators, and there is never morning

Another telegram says: Il did not think
there was a man in the world for whom
would forsake the Republican party. But
there is one, and Herrick is the man"
Then there are letters and kilograms
from what they call the Old Guard. These
are politicians and citizens, men out of the
running. men who have even got out OF
the abit of voting and who have let politics
go for the past ten years. These men are
now getting together to work for Herrick
Though only So, he has bosom friends among
men who would be older than his father if
the elder Herrick were living.
There is one ordeal which the Judge par
ticularly breads And this is the saying
good-by to the Justices of the Supreme
Court. For thirteen years they have
worked together. And now to say good
by TO them!
Il don't know how Judge Herrick will
stand it, But it breaks me all up just to
think Of it," said one of the Justices.
In all his career on the bench the acts Of
the Judge have been without single
criticism.
Judge Herrick's manner upon the plat
form is singularly felictous. He is ready
speaker and he has a way Of making you
feel as though he were addressing you.
Nothing disconcerts him.
He early learned the lesson of self-pos-
session Long years ago, when only a
lawyers clerk he was sent out to make a
stump speech. 1t was in a little village
at cross roads, where all had gathered
in a schoolhouse to hear the young Demo-
crat speak.
Mr.. Herrick in those days was a slender
youth, shy in manner and with nothing to
support him upon the platform except the
courage of his convictions The chairman
Introduced him and then he advanced to
the front of the platform. He had no notes,
but started out at once upon his subject.
All went well for the first few sentences.
And, then, at telling point Mr.. Herrick
glanced down. In the very front seat sat
a pretty girl, and she winked at him.
The speech went all to pieces. But the
incident taught the young man self-pos-
session, and he is to-day one Of the best
speakers in the country.
Judge Herricks password has always
been Honesty" Other methods may sue
coed temporarily but in the long run
honesty wins out, he says. And then he
adds;
ana Ill tIe SlloTb run, 700. lou
have self-respect unless you are honest.
Speak out. Do the right thing. Let your
deeds be upright. Do nothing under
hand. Never straddle the fence. Come out
honestly and truly with your opinion.
Let people know where you stand. That
ia the course which will win out every
time"
Judge Herrick loves to read magazines
and novels. The house in which he lives
is large handsome residence of Colonial
style at Isl Washington avenue, Albany.
Il is four story and basement house. As
you enter tho front door there is a wide hall,
with the paror on the right, Back Of the
parlor is deep, handsome library with
wide bay window in which is built an in
viting window seat. Back Of the library
Is the dining room, and back of this is a
large square veranda looking out upon
handsome grounds back Of the house.
There is pretty front yard, and windows
open at the side OF the house looking down
