THE CARNIVAL,
Important Committee Meeting Decides
on Date and CoIors.

The Executive Committee of the Car
son Carnival held the most important
meeting since the scheme was thought
of on Thursday evening A full board
were settled that gives the Carnival
color and date of existence
The first move was to decide on the
name of the affair. 1t was decided to
call it the Carson City Carnival and
Street Fair. the same as the first and
successful issue. Then came the choos-
ing of the colors 1t was finally decid-
ed that the colors should be red, vel
low and green SO the inhabitants can
now don the colors and spread the
news to the neighbors.
The item that caused the greatest
debate was the selection Of dates. One
day was not enough, nor was two, so
it was finally settled On opening the
big time on the evening of the sec
ond, when the queen is to be crowned
and the town thrown open to the
| strangers who are coming this way
By doing this the third, Sunday, will
act as a peace maker and give the
| people a chance to rest before the big
| time on the Fourth. The Sunday COM
| ing in between the dates viii act as a
| balance for the following days that
will be full of fun and good time 1t
was finally decided to give the show
from the evening Of the I'd to the
evening of the 9th. which will wind
| up with Madri Gras. The date line
is long enough for all to have a go at
the game, and it is certainty that
some kind of action will be taken on
Sunday to prevent the time from lag
ing.
! At the meeting a number Of letters
were read and shown. They ali made
inquiry of what was going on and all
expressed a desire to be here when
the time was called. The finances Of
the affair seem to be in the healthiest
kind Of condition as dollars contjn-
ue to roll in. All of this will be neel-
ed as the different committees are
making arrangements for half hun

all the teams Of the State can settle

The meeting of Thursday shows
that the Carnival is an absolute fact
as all of the members were present
and the plans formed are such that
the work can be carried on with rapid
ity During the next month all Of the
committees will be appointed and then
the work can be given into many

THE CALEB POWERS CASE.
Governor Sparks Asked to use His In
fluence in the Case.

Governor Sparks, along with all the
Governors Of the Union, has been ask
ed to exercise his influence in order
to prevent the execution of Caleb Pow
ers for the murder of Governor Gobel
of Kentucky. Powers is under a SEN
tence of death and extreme effort is
being made to save his life. Governor
Sparks replied to the letter as follows:
receipt of your letter bearing date Of
4th. inst, in which you inclose reso.
lutions adopted at meeting of Evan
gelists and Christian Workers held N
the City of Chicago March 26, 1904.
The resolutions named set forth that
in the conviction and sentence to
death of Hon. Caleb Powers, late Seq
rotary of State of the State Of Ken
lucky the ends of justice have been
thwarted, and that a crime is about
to be perpretrated second to none in
the history of our Country, and the
said Caleb Powers has been denied
Constitutional rights, ETC." You ask
me to endorse those resolutions and
forward them to the Governor Of Ken
lucky. This l cannot do. In the first
place I am not familiar with the de-
tails of the trial and conviction of the
condemned man, and am therefore not
competent to express an opinion in
the case. 1t is +, however, a well
known fact that in the assassination
of Gobel, a most brutal crime was
committed by some one, and am
convinced from the published state
ments and common knowledge that
the responsibility rests upon those
who were in high authority at the time
the deed was committed, and if justice
is ever done, others who have been
fugatives will share the fate of Pow.
ers.
am inclined to give sympathy to
anyone who is so unfortunate as to
be placed in the dreadful position now
occupied by the condemned man, but
all circumstances considered, | cannot
attempt to influence the Governor OF
) Kentucky in the discharge of his du
ties.
Respectfully

RAILROAD RATES.
Excursion Tickets to st. Louis to be
Lowered.

A general understanding concerning
the route for round trip excursion
tickets to the Worlds Fair at St. Louis
and the days upon which they may be
sold probably will be reached at the
convention Of t'a Transcontinent.l
Passenger Age Association, now in
session at Santa Barbara, al. Repre-
sentatives of the passenger depart
ment of nearly every railroad west Of

convention and it is GENERALLY con-
coded that fixing rates for Worlds Fair
travel is the most important matter to
be considered.

will submit report favoring two days

vexatious in the event Of sales being
limited to one day week, which
would cause a congestion of passen~

An effort will be made to adjust the
pro rata rates on transcontinental pas
senger business and put it on a more
equitable basis, satisfactory to all
roads. 1t has been decided to hold the
next convention of the association ut
Chicago some time in July, the next
date to be determined later.

STAMPS FOR IMPORTED CIGARS.
The Order for the Making of New
Stamps Suspended Until Parties
Interested Are Granted q Hearing.

Washington, September 21.-Acting
Secretary of the Treasury Taylor mas
s~uspending the order for the making of
new custom stamps for imported cigars
until all parties who might be affected
by the proposed change can be heard.
He has fixed next Saturday morning
for a hearing, and has invited to be
present all parties in interest, stating
that 1t is the desire Of the department
to receive the fullest information posi-
bic before final action is taken.
1t was proposed to change the design
and materially decrease the size Of the
customs stamp affixed to boxes contain
ing imported cigars, and to change the
color to blue of the same shade as is
now used for internal revenue stamps.
1t was also proposed to place the new
stamp on the bottom of boxes, in order
to make it less conspicuous and to leave.
off the word imported" It is argued
in favor of this change that very few
other imported articles of m
are required to nave an import stamp
affixed to them. and hat the only pur-
pose it serves is to give the imported
cigar an unfair advantage over the do
mestic. The opponents of the change
insist that the stamp is necessary to
protect the public from imposition and
that as the law requires a stamp to be
affixed to the box, it should not be hid
den n so defeat the purpose of the
law.

The Necessary Bride.

What. therefore. is n bride for the lad

teaches that the reverse is sometimes
true.
A certain man well known in educa-
tional affairs had been lecturing in
New York and had stopped overnight
at the house of a very rich merchant.
On the morning Of his departure be
had just been introduced for the first
time into the presence Of the young
lady of the family, aged five, when
mention was made of the fact that at
such and such an hour the carriage
would be ready TO take him to the
depot.
Thereat the merchant turned to the
little girl.

to the dentists today. Hadn't you
better ride downtown with Mr.. B.? He
can drop you at the dentists. and then
the carriage can return for you later.

The College Yell Explained.

1t has often been a matter of won-

bers at athletic contests and else
where. That the college yell is a
thing to inspire awe and rack the
nerves is very we'll known. That it is
barbarous in conception and generally
htdeous in expression will hardly be
denied. Yet every college must have
it's yell. As we'll conceive of a college
without a head as one without a yell
1t woul be a ~nonentity.
But why the yell, and what is its
origin? DR.. g. Stanley Hall tells Us
in a book hat he has written on
Adolescence" The college veil Is
merely an outcropping of the primitive
instinct that remains in the breast of
civilized men. Ages ago when our
p~rogen5tors dweiled in the o Iests and
slept in caves. and fought wild beasts
and each other tooth and naii, il was
their custom to sound a more or less
rhythmic cry before going into combat.
The cry was of challenge or defiance,
as the case might be. And that Is
where the college veil came from.
Nor is that all of our customs that
we have inherited from our very re-
HlOle ancestors. Int 1--we u IlSllHS

The offices will be kept comfortable

one for his secretary, Mr.. Merritt: one
for the treasurer. two for the traffic
manager and two for auditor. There
will also be store rooms, lavatories
and a vault. The building will be-
