Is NOT A CANDIDATE.
Governor Sparks Gives Reasons for De-
cIining Senatorial Toaa.


To The People Of Nevada:
The subject of choosing a candidate
to represent the Fusion party in the
ensuing campaign for the position Of
United States Senator has become a
matter of discussion by the press and
the people Of this State AS l haze
been mentioned as an aspirant for the
position, it seems proper at this time
to make statement of my intentions
and the reasons therefor.
In the first place l desire to say that
l am not an aspirant for the position
and have not given any person reason
to believe that l would be. do. how
ever, appreciate the honor of such
mention, and am not insensible to the
kind expressions of confidence by
in connection with a position so hign
and honorable.
The people Of this State less than
two years ago, elected me Governor
for term of four years. l do not con-
slider that | have as yet fulfilled the
obligation which l assumed in connec
ton with the office | now hold and if
| can be SO fortunate as to meet the
expectations of my constituents in an
acceptable manner during the remain
er of my term, l shall be more than
gratifed.
The position of Governor was not
solicited by me nor has my occupati.
on been that of an office seeker. My
energy has been heretofore expended
in business way, and my affairs at
this time with the contemplative en-
terprises in view will forbid entering
into political campaign or the as
sumption Of the duties of United
States Senator, should l be elected.
In respect to the election of United
States Senators in this State, it seems
to have become an established custom
to expect candidates to be not only
wealthy, but willing to expend money
lavishly to be considered eligible.
This practice would never be adopted
by me. l might thereby jeopardize my
chances for success and prove disap-
pointing to my party and friends.
In making this announcement l de.
sire it to be understood that my al.
legiance to the Fusion party is un-
swerving and that every effort in my
power will be exerted for not only the
candidate cosen for United States
Senator, but also for the entire ticket
selected
The labor unions who have so kind
ly given me preference, have my sin
cere thanks and to friends who have
so generously signif1ed their desire for
my advancement, l extend my crate
full appreciation.
JOHN SPARKS.

Precaution Against Typhoid Fever a
Michigan u. Of NJ.

1t does not seem likely that typhoid
fever epidemic will ever break out
among the students of the University of
Michigan. In recent address DR.. V.
G. Vaughan, dean of the medical de-
partment, said on this point
Every two weeks since the water
was first put in this town, there has
been thorough chemical and bacteriolo-
gical examination of the water. And
when there has been any suspicion that
the water was not just ri ght we have
examined it every day. On one occasion
at least we were threatened with just
such an epidemic as occurred in Ithaca,
n. Y, a year ago. Five cases of typhoid
fever appeared among the University
students within few days. The water
was bad. The water was the source of
the trouble. 1t was at that time taken
from four or five springs Immediately
we began an examination Of the water
from each one of these springs, and
found the one that furnished the bad
water, and the water from it was i'm
mediately cut off. One night every
hydrant in the city was opened and the
reservoirs were emptied; then they were
refilled and allowed to run out again
and the walls were thoroughly cleaned.
And there was not another case OF
tyohoid fever"

oakIey's Coal Prospects.

Since early last fall coal prospectoI
of considerable experience, John Kerr,
has been making explorations in the vi.
cinity of Oakley for coal. Several holes
for testing have been put down in all of
which sufficient quantities of merchant
able coal have been struck to warrant
further leasing and prospecting.
With this evidence of the coveted
diamonds Mr.. Kerr has interested a coal
company who are pioneers in the bust
ness, owning and operating several
mines in this and Bay counties. In his
discovery we understand a deal has
been consummated, whereby active
prospecting and more leasing will be
begun at once; and if the present thick
ness of coal holds out, the company will
sink shaft and commence the actual
work of mining as soon as it is possible
for them to do so,
With these prospe cts in view many
people hope to see rise in property
values and spectators are giving the
place rather warm smile as they looI
over the town, there being many desir-
able locations, -Chesaning News.

Solving . Great Problem.

Some years ago q tobacconist discov-
cred the utility of tinfoil for wrapping
tobaccos. Heretofore paper had been
exclusively used for the purpose, but it
did not serve to keep the moisture Of
the atmosphere away from the tobacco
nor preserve the natural moisture Of
the tobacco from the effects Of dry
or heated atmosphere. Paper also alb
sorbed the aroma of the weed and was
not sufficiently lasting; therefore tin
foil was used for wrappers. But it be-
came costly and could only be rolled to
a certain thinness, beyond which the
ingenuity of man seemed to find it i'm
possible to go. The fact was that no
rollers could be made to sustain the
pressure necessary to MASKING the tin
foil to leaf sufficiently thin to suit the
manufacturer.
Many ingenious inventors struggled
with the proposition for months and
gave up the problem as unsolvable,
when a simple workman about the shop
one day, after rolling two sheets to the
customary thinness, put the two sheets
together into the rollers and made both
half as thin as they were before. This
was as simple as standing an egg on
end, but it created a revolution in the
manufacture of tinfoil for tobacconists'
use and made a mint Of money for the
discOverer.

Smoked Brains.

The physical director of Yale has
lately published some interesting fig
ures relative to the prevalence of the
cigarette habit and other uses of tobacco
among the students of that institution.
He carried his investigation not only
out on the campus, but also into the
class room. He undertook to ascertain
whether the widespread use of smoking
among the lads at Yale was affecting
the brain and nerve powers to any ex-
tent. He was surprised at the results
of his own Investigations and at the
definite results obtained.
1t only required brief glance at the
classroom marks of the smoking boy tc
show that while the habit may be pleas
ant it was very bad on the record of his
standard. 1t was so evident that the
habitual smokers were in the rear of the
class column that the director has made
bold to state to the world that smoking
units boy for intellectual work. The
tax on his nerves and brains renders
him lifeless and inert and he soon falls
to the rear in his class work. This is
an argument that cannot be waved
aside as being sentimental and the teach
ing of the over-scrupulous, and some
thing every student will run up against
to his great embarrassment on exami-
nation and test days. If the cigar cite
was consigned to the place where all
things that menace the good and the
clearly are to go, our boys would not
only make better students, but better
men for every walk of life. Saginaw

A Renaissance.
From the Perry Journal.


Many years ago l was one of party
of young people who attended revival
meeting in progress at what is known
as the Hinkley schoolhouse. AS was
usual in those days the interest was in
tense and when we arrived the house
was nearly filled. / cannot recall the
name of the minister but the text was
the familiar one, "Watchman, what of
the night" 1t was stirring sermon,
one calculated to awaken in the mind
of every nearer a sense of personal duty
and responsibility. During the confer
ence meeting which followed the regu-
lar service, most of the older people had
spoken when young man arose. He
was George Curry.
He was a young convert, well and fav-
orably known in the community, and
everyone felt interested in his CONVEX
sion. CHANGING toward a group of
young people he said 'My friends,
am not ashamed to say to you tonight
that am soldier of the cross, and by
Gods help mean to see the end of the
Christian race" 1t was the manner in
which the words were uttered that i'm
pressed me, and felt, as no doubt did
others, what years have verified, that
he would indeed be faithful until death.
AS he sat down William Alling, also
young convert, sang ''Shall we gath
er at the river" had heard him sing
it many times, but never as he sang it
then. The joy he felt over his friend
conversion seemed to touch the notes
with joyous thrill, and sometimes
now that song and the melody of its pa
thetic. intonations come back to me, and
I seem to hear it as heard it that night
half century ago.
The song ceased, and the singer arose.
To him religion was Christs love,a love
that embraced all mankind, and was
limitless as the universe. 1t was love
that spoke from his heart, that moisten-
ed his eye, that trembled in his utter
ance.
Looking back to that time now I won.
der that we who listened did not read in
his tender exhortationIthe prophecy of
his early death. How soon we laid him
to rest! For many years the winds of
winter have swept his grave, ana the
zephers Of summer have kissed it, and
now the companion for whom he sang
is no longer asoldier of the cross, for he
has reached the end of his Christian
race.
Have they met at the shining river, u
and does its crystal tide reflect the faces
of many who were gathered with them
that night, but who have gone before.
I cannot tell. Sometime, some day,
perhaps, to each one of us the mystery of
death shall be made known, and we no
longer "see as through glass darkly"

Millions for Military Automobiles.

Included among the German army
estimates for the present year is one
for several millions for extensive trials
and experiments with automobiles for
military purposes. In this, however,
the German government differs from
the person who suffers from

He cannot afford to waste any money
experimenting with this or that remedy

takes Hostetters Stomach Bitters at the
very start, for he knows that if any
medicine will cure him quickly the

persons who have never tried it, do so

vice. 1t will cure belching, fatulency,

JUDGE MATTHEW BUSH
Is the Peer of Any Probate Judge In
the State.

Among the offices to be filled this fall
there is none more important than that
Of probate judge. This fact is becom-
ing more apparent at each election by
the continuance in this Office of men
who have proved them selves capable
and honest in administering the laws
regarding the estates of deceased per-
sons. There is great opportunity for
dishonest persons to impose upon and
rob the widow and the orphan when
afflicted by the loss of husband and
father. 1t u.s. therefore needful that
watchful eye and experienced mind be
at the helm when these trials and trib-
ulations come.
Judge Bush is serving his fourth term
and the best Communications for his
ability, economy and accurate manner
in setting estates, come from those who
have transacted business with him, and
who know the money, time and annoy
him retained in that important Office.
While in point of time served, Judge
Durfee, of Detroit, is his senior, Judge
Durfee having been % years in service,
yet in point of ability, economy, homes
ty and integrity, he is excelled by none
in the state.
There is another point which speaks
well for him and that is there is not
voter, however partisan he may be, if
he has ever transacted business with
him. but that will vote for him at the
polls The Office, indeed, should be
above partisanship, and is in large
sense.
There can be no question but that he
will be renominated, and his majority
will be larger than ever before. -Corun-

Landscape Advertising.

The Associated Billposters of the
United States and Canada now officially
condemn the practice of painting signs
upon rocks and other natural objects in
picturesque landscape, although they
seem to offer no objection to putting q
boarding for posters and paintings in
front of the natural object. The distinc-
ton is fine one, but it means some
gain. Several railroads have prohibited
the erection of billboards on their own
property, and although this scarcely dis
turbs the advertiser, who can still use
the private property on either side of
the right of way, it shuts out one posi-
BILE extension of the abuse that has ire
mendous possibilities In at least one
case also, great railroad company has
taken to planting quickly growing trees
at such places as to hide the hoardings
erected on adjacent land. The Boston
and Albany Road has gained a like end
in the suburbs of Boston by planting
screens OF shrubs or hedge at the top
of the cut; and it has become no unusu-
al thing for a railroad company, con-
scious of the popular feeling, to exert
its influence, as far as it can, upon the
adjacent property owners to induce
them to refuse to lease advertising
rights. But public opinion that very
unanimously considers the extension Of
hospitality to advertisements by barn
or other outbuilding, or even by field,
as badge of the farmers property, is
perhaps doing more than is anything
else to remedy this abuse. Charles Null
