The Old Red Barn.

Close to the small, brick schoolhouse.
where l studied years ago,
1t was the catcher's back stop in our
games OF "one-old-cat."
1t saved him many a weary chase by
blocking each wild throw;
1t bore a thousand imprints made with
knife and ball and bat.
Old players went, new players came; the
swift years ran their race,
Each leaving to the old red barn fresh
scars upon it's face.
And, oh, the fights we used to havef Each
night when school was out
The old barn was the rendezvous where
gladiators met,
The scene of many a smuggling match and
well contested bout.
Enjoyed tv every youngster save the
tattling teachers pet"
Among the schoolboys of today there's
little fighting stock;
They favor arbitration and are satisfied
with talk.
The old red barn has disappeared. and
where it used to stand
A more p~retentious structure meets q
busy ~thoroughfare.
No urchins linger near 1t now; no noisy,
romping band.
Where are the rough and tumble boys
that congregated there?
Gone, like the lear old landmark in whose
shade they loved to play;
Gone, like the crimson sunset OF departed
yesterday.

NEvADA'S POLITICAL
REGENERATION.

We extend to the good people of Ne
vada, the assurances Of q most dis
tinguished consideration, says the Utah
State Journal. 1t appears that Nevada
is proceeding to mount the shining
heights. She is going to have a square
Senatorial fight. Our neighbor State is
proud of her mines and proud of her ir-
rigation movement. But she has more
occasion to glorify herself in this rem.
n~aissance of political honesty then in all
other things combined.
What a splendid thing it will be for
Nevada tt have elected by honesty and
in~corruptible Legislatures, men who, in
their turn. will serve honestly and in
corruptibly in the National halls ! Not
that all men elected in Nevada have
been tainted, but because some of them
have been, and because the Battle Born
State has suffered immeasurably there
by in the Judgment of mankind.
Honesty in public life is SO much bet
ter for Nevada the The Sack. When
once the old and honest way shall be re-
stored. when venality shall have been
b~anished, what a proud rank Nevada
can take among the States of the Union,
aud how ~gloriously will her upright
citizenship hold itself in the ayes of the
world No1onger win her Legislatures
await the coming of the messenger from
the banks of San Francisco, in order to
to find out their own opinions concern
ing public questions. No longer need
they feel that the profitable industry for
the State is milking of the cow whose
hind quarters are at Fourth and Town
send streets in San Francisco.
They are able to do things for them
selves-the strong people Of Nevada.
They are able to pass laws, good laws,
unpurchased laws. for the government
of the State; to elect Nevada citizens to
the House of Representatives and the
Senate of the United States.
And the State will take the glory to
which it is entitled. Its soil yields
under the splendid touch of industry;
its mines are richer than ever before in
its history; its manhood and its woman
hood are as brave and as pure as in the
olden time. Nevada, with corruption
driven out of it's politics. is to really be
what its founders hoped, n of the
most glowing stars in the eternal on
oscillation of the Union sky.

JUDGE FITZGERALD REAFFIRMS
His Former Statements Have Been
Miseonstrued.

The Elko Independent of July Is
publishes a communication from Judge
A. L. Fitzgerald in explanation of the
construction that has been
placed upon certain statements in his
interview printed in the Elko paper at
the time the Judge announced his can
didacy for United States Senator from
Nevada. The Judge again explicitly
sets forth his position ON the silver
question, and refers to other important
work that he will undertake in the
event of his election. He in part says:
THAT in case of my election to the
United States Senate, I will devote all
of my time to the restoration Of silver,
to the exclusion of all private business.

been said) to the exclusion of any bust
ness or duty that might come to me in
the capacity of Senator.

view with you that so many mistakes
have been made in the discussion of the
money question, / regarded it as no
small undertaking to correct them. l

United States Court the question of the

here assert that the constitutionality OF
the 'greenback' monetization has never
been adequately, properly or fairly pre-
scented to said court. Again, the ques-
ions should be fully and adequately
and truly presented to the people. This
/ assert has not been done.
"There is one thing that l especially
would like to take part in accomplish

States Constitution SO that United
States Senators should be elected by a
direct vote of the people.

as to be chosen for the office OF Senator,

ously endeavor to discharge every duty
appertaining thereto to the best Of my

Youth has its griefs. its disappointments

Its baffled ~longings and its memories.
Its anguish in a joy that once hath been,
Its languid settling in a sinful ease.
And age has pleasures. rosy. fresh and

And glad be%guilements and expectan-

Its heart of boldness for a threatened

Its eager launching upon sunny seas.
Youth has its losses. sad and desolate:
Its wreck of precious freight where all

Its blight of trust. its helpless heart Of

Its dreary knowledge of Illusion spent.

,ss,cArlom IN NEVADA

The San Francisco Chronicle OF July
"a contains the following timely edi-
torial:
Contracts which appear to provide
for the completion of the work on at
least a portion of the Truckee-C Carson
irrigation project in Nevada are now
being let. and by the end Of March OF
next year it is expected that water will
be flowing through all the bitches in
Churchill County. We do not under
stand that this will complete the project
80 as to open up all the lands which will
ultimately be watered from this main
canal. The latter part of the present
wear. however, will doubtless see the
beginning of activity in settlement.
Some of the land under this ditch, we
believe. is railroad land, which will not
be settled until all the Government
land, which can be obtained for nothing
except the cost Of the works. is occu.
pied. The railroad companies will
doubtless then put upon the alternate
sections whatever price the traffic will
bear, and permit purchasers to make
their own bargains with the Govern
ment. The lands. however, cannot be
sold in large tracts, for no one a get
water from a Government ditch for
more than 100 acres of land.
It is doubtful whether the lands
under these Government canals will
ever become a "poor mans country"
The Government work is done in the
most substantial manner, with a view
Of reducing the cost of maintenance to
q minimum. This makes the original
outlay large, and it must all be spread
upon the land. While time is given,
without interest, yet the installments
must be paid in the end, and the cost OF
preparing the laud for the water and
the erection of even the simplest OF
farm buildings will presumably exceed
the cost of the bitches. A person,
therefore, who expects to settle ON these
lands must have money enough to do
this preliminary work, or he will not be
able to meet his Government payments,
without which he can get no title to his
land. Apparently, a person should be
in possession of at least $40 for each
acre of land which he expects to take
mp. This, with his OWE work, ought to
place him in a condition to support a
family and meet his expenses for water.
The time seems now to have arrived
when those who think of settling on
these lands and who have the money to
make a start, should be visiting the dis
trict and deciding upon a location. Ii
water can be got for domestic uses. set
tiers can presumably live. on their land
until the water reaches them, support
ing themselves by work for the contrac-

Joined here by Walter Stephens and
Ellis Lewis, local stockholders, and
the six made a pilgrimage to the oil
field. The new well is being pumped
and is said to be by far the best yet
drilled in. The Pittsburg parties ex-
pressed themselves gratified at the
showing and are of the opinion that
within the territory under lease there
is big oil pool.
The company secured some oil in
the first well drilled in. After that
they began drilling in several direc-
tions to ascertain in which way the
oil lay. 1t is thought now that by
following up in the direction of the
last two wells the main pool will be
located. 1t has been decided that the
engine be used to pump the present
well and that drilling will be resumed
early in the spring after the weather
moderates.

BATTLE OF EXPERTS
IN TRIAL FOR
MURDER
Defense in the Mabel
BechteI Case.
DEFENDANT TO TESTIFY

Allentown, Pa, Jan. 20.--When court
adjourned this evening, Captain
Schaadt, counsel for Mrs. Bechtel, on
trial as accessory after the fact in the
murder of her daughter Mabel, stated
that all his expert testimony was in.
The specialists called by the defense
today included Doctors Morris F. Caw-
ley, William A. Hausman, r. X. Hart
zell and Fred A. Fetherolf. of this
ette college and DR.. Milton Mobiles, of
Philadelphia, all of whom, with one
exception, declared that the biological
test upon which the states experts de-
pend to establish the presence Of blood
stains upon the exhibits is new and
unreliable and cannot be depended up
on.
The defense riddled the testimony of
the experts of the state and declared
that in all the experiments they had
made, which included the guaiac test,
not drop of blood was found upon
any of the articles except Mabel's un-
dervest.
several SClellJlHC anu pTacJlcdl
demonstrations of the defense's tests
upon the exhibits were made in the
presence Of the court, lawyers and
jury. The entire day was again given
up practically to the submission OF
the expert testimony and Captain
Schaadt stated that the first witness
he would call tomorrow would be Mrs.
Bechtel, the defendant.
There will be no session of court in
the morning as Judge Trexler has per-
mitted Juror Huff to attend the fu-
neral of his brother Captain Schaadt
will also call, he says, several people
who saw Mabel on the Monday before
the discovery of the body. The
Bechtel children will also be called and
! in connection with this Captain
Schaadt significantly added:
This will be the first time the true
story of the case from those inside of
the house will have been told"
