Senator Newlands. Mr.. Bartine,
Attorney General Sweeny and editor
Bingham, of the Reno Journal, held a
consultation in Carson this week to
devise means to keep the straight
Silver men from using the name OF
Silver party on the ballots, and, &C
cording to report, it was decided to
bring the matter before the courts,
says the Carson News. And these
are the great purity fellows who be
lieve in giving everybody an equa
chance to express his choice Of off
GERS at the polls. Newlands evidently
thinks the Silver party is one of bis
perquisltes. Wait until you heal
Sadler tell him what it is.

Bryan, the spell binder. who twice
rode the silver mule to defeat, has
been charming the natives of the
"Sagebrush' state with the magic
of his voice. When Bryan gave voice
to hls %wonderous words eight years
ago, we admired him for his rhetoric
and his constancy to his doomed
cause. In a latter day he said, &C
cording to the Bridgeport Chronicle
Union, 81 return to you the banner
that you gave me-" and her we
cheered, but today, we smile, for the
glitter Of gold has dazzled bis being
and those noble words and clean cut
phrases have become but articles Of
trade. Used in the upbuilding of
that cause which for years be tried
to raze. AS an exponent of ''free
silver we admired though pitied
him but as supporter Of gold de-
democracy we corn and forget.
The atmosphere of Tonopah is
charged just now with ''the signs OF
the times" Candidates are scouting
all over the county, spouting their
political opinions, boosting their own
special virtues and cornering the
doubtful voter, trying to convince
him that tLeir way of thinking is the
only way. The streets, stores
and saloons of Tonopah are filled
with would-be politicians, their
adherents and opponents. Among
the most active is Jim Butler,
the one and only Jim, as with all he
does or undertakes to do, his whole
heart and soul are in the cause, Re-
publican from the soles Of his shoes
to the crown Of his hat, one faith, one
cause, one country he carries away
all by those qualities which endear
him to everyone and will rightly en-
sure his election, and nothing can
stop it.

TO PAVE NORTH NINTH.
Street Leading to Forest Cemetery
to be Improved.

The paving of North Ninth street
from c avenue north to the entrance
to Forest cemetery this season is
very probable. The cemetery, asso.
ciaticn is ready with three thousand
dollars of cash to put into the i'm.
provement and there are others along
the street desiring the improvement.
TIL plan of the paving is to have a
parking in the center Of the street
with the paving on either side, and
then the two sides connected at stat
ed distances with cross driveways
The plan meets with general favor
and will be brought before the city
council at some meeting in the near
future. The paving Of the street is
looked upon with favor by the mem
bers Of the council and will no doubt
be ordered in the regular way. The
improving of the street in the manner
suggested would be as great an i'm
provement as the city Of Oskaloosa
has made in many years.

feated Minneapolis for the third time

was called at the end Of the fifth in,

score stood seven to one in favor

alyzed the Millers from the start
These boys went to bat first and
started off at their usual gait by scor.

When Oskaloosa came to the bat she
picked out a couple of home runs
with Kensel and Bradshaw, and then

in the lead and the crowd yelled its
approval. The Millers did not secure
another score. Pendergraf and Phe,

before them. Oskaloosa fielding was
good. Chase and Bradshaw both
made remarkable runs and catches OF
hard flies. The boys were fortunate
in their base running and o~ut-played

RUFUS WON THE AUTO
County Clerk Davis Awarded the
Big Pythian Prize.

Rufus X. Davis, clerk of the Mahas-
ka county district court, won the
Glide automobile disposed of by the
Knights Of Pythias a a part of their
big fair which closed Saturday night.
1t was necessary to hear a report
from all of the ticket sellers before
the rattle could be held, and the work
was not completed until Thursday
evening.
The committee in charge Of the
drawing was Frank Glaze, Cnas.
Coone and Geo. Kalbacn. The com.
mittee decided that forty-six num-
bers should be drawn and the forty
seventh number should carry off the
prize. Little Ruth Glaze, daughter
of Frank Glaze, drew the numbers
from the box. The ~forty-seventh
number was 1915 and this was owned
by Mr.. R. X. Davis.
The rattle was held in the Armory
hall and about three hundred people
were present to witness the drawing.
Several other articles were dis,
posed Of by chance during the even
ing. Harry Davis got the fine rock
ing chair that was donated to the fair
by j. B. McCurdy, and Ed Brewer
carried off the music box.
The auto committee has not yet
completed its settlements with the
people who had tickets for sale dur.
ing the fair and it now is impossible
to ascertain just how much the fair
has proited by the rattle. About
thirty-ive hundred tickets were dis,
posed of at twenty-five cents each,
and this would make the gross
amount Of the tickets sold almost
nine hundred dollars. The cash will
be in the neighborhood Of nine hun,
dred dollars. Possibly a little more
II possibly not quite so much. The
cost Of the machine to the fair was
about seven hundred dollars and this
will leave a profit of between two
hundred and two hundred and fifty
dollars to the fair.
The machine is a Glide manufac
tured in Peoria, Ill. The Pythiar
people took up the project to rafis
the machine at the solicitation of Mr.
c. Winter. He did much persona,
work in %disposing of the chances and
to his efforts is due the success of the
enterprise. 1t was a big undertaking
but persistent effort disposed of 8
necessary number of chances and thu
fair has profted by the investment.

pire.
Minneapolis secured by a single
base hit off Oskaloosa.
N. E. S~aintsbury, who represents
the Tom Moore and Henry George
cigars in this part of the state, proved
himself a friend of the Oskaloosa
base ball association Saturday even
ing. The gentleman purchased fifty
dollars worth of stock of the associa-
ton and gives patronage that amounts
to as much more in other directions.
Mr.. Saintsbury is a lover of the
game Of base ball. He likes Oska-
loosa for a number of reasons and
thinks that Manager THEY has a
bunch Of boys who are going to play
good ball before the close of the sea-
son. He believes in backing up his
faith with something substantial and
therefore subscribes his name to the

loosa, also subscribes generously to-
ward the support of the Oskaloosa

Repetition of Last Years
Flood Feared In Iowa.

Fort Scott, Kan, April 25.-Fort Scott
is experiencing the most serious flood in
its history. Marmton river and Mill
creek, which runs into the former
stream here, have risen ten feet in the
past 36 hours, the result of heavy rains.
Several hundred persons have been res
cued in boats. AS far as know no lives
have been lost. The estimated loss to
livestock drowned and property dam
aged is 500, 900. The two streams be-
gan to rise at ten o'clock Saturday night
and as a result the city has been divided
into three sections and almost complete
ly isolated. Normally Mill creek runs
into the Marmaton river northeast of the
city, but because of the rapid rise they
formedanew channel that cut across one
end of the city. The entire northern
part Of the city in cut off, and part of the
city is inundated. Ten feet of water is
rushing through the streets in that part
of the city and several hundred persons
in what is known as Belltown have been
forced to leave their homes. Many were
taken away in boats.
There were several narrow escapes
from drowning. Late Sunday an aged
couple named Lemore, living a mile
north OF the city, nea the river, were
rescued in boats. They were completely
hemmed in. Rescuers were out all day
under the direction of Fire Chief Aus
man, Mayor Congdon and Chief Of Po-
lice M%endenhall, and they succeeded in
saving thousands Of dollars worth of
property as well as the hundreds of in
habitants of that district. Many who re-
fused to leave Belltown will still have to
be taken away in boats, as all II
of escape have now been cut off.
The gas works is three under water
and has closed down. The engine and
pumps at the water station are 20 feet
under water. The Southwestern Whole
sale Grocery company's warehouse is
flooded and the water has reached the
office.

Against Castro.

New York, April 12.-Much excitement
said to exist in Venezuela over the al
-ged discovery that an American asphalt
company gave financial aid TO the Matos
revolution, which was put down about
* months ago. President Castro is said
have declared he has proof that agents
OF the company in question aided Matos
in his revolution while the claim of the
company was being contested in the
courts of Venezuela. He has declared
that agents of the company offered about
half a million dollars TO him to have the
court declare in favor of the concessions
" which the company gained rights in
re asphalt beds and that when he re-
ected the offer the company through its
gents used the money in melting the rev.
ltion
resident Castro has caused suits to be
cred for the abrogation of the conces-
is granted the company. If these suits
uld prevail the recent decision of the
preme court of Venezuela in favor Of
American asphalt combination would
IL fat. The investigation asserted to
we brought out these disclosures has
