intervention in coal strike, while
the most powerful foes of or

ever known forced the nomina-

the st. Louis Convention. Parker
is the acknowledged gold bug

We pledge the Legislative

vote for Hon. Geo. S. Nixon for
United States Senator.

OF the
REPUBLICAN PARTY OF WHITE

The Republican Party of White
Pine County, Nevada, in Con-

lowing platform:

We endorse the platform and

We especially endorse the fol

"We submit the labor record

Republicanism has built up a
tariff wall about this country
which gives the American mar

labor as the unity of industrial

ton in his speeches in the west
ern part of the State, by connect
ing his name with the Mckinley
Mining Co. 1t is true Mr.. Yer
ington is an owner in that COM
pany, heavy owner. But Is
that anything to be ashamed OF ?
Of the thousands of dollars that
that company has paid into the
pockets of the miners of this
county, some of it came from the
pocket of Mr. Yerington. Where
would we have made our living
the last few years if it had not
been for the companies, which,
as yet, have not received cent
in dividends ? Mr.. Van Duzer
has never expended dollar in
this county. The voters of White
Pine are under moral obliga-
ton to vote for James YeringtOn
for Congress for many reasons
among them, he is a gentleman
of unimpeachable character and
integrity; he is fully qualified to
fill that exalted Office with honor
to our State; he is trying to build
up our county by putting his
money in our mines, and he is
making an honorable campaign
not trying to catch votes by
singing mud at his opponent.
The campaign liar is abroad as
usual. Some persons, with big
ger tongues than brains, find de-
light in circulating falsehoods to
injure candidates whom they are
opposed to. The latest is that
the Republican nominees on the
Legislative ticket are running as
the tools to the new railroad we
expect To have-that it is their
intention to have law passed to
burden the county with heavy
bond to help build the road. The
voters may rest assured that
Messrs. Gallagher, Norman
and Clark are tools to no one,
and if elected, will go to Carson
unpledged to any one on any
matter. They are good, sub
stantial citizens, business men
and heavy taxpayers. We do
not believe for moment that the
Democratic nominees for the
Legislature started this report.
They, too, are good citizens, and
we do not question their ability
in the least. Mr.. Miles is an ex-
cellent gentleman and is filling
the Office of Treasurer with en-
tire satisfaction. Mr.. Fisher of
Cherry Creek, is a young man,
against whom no one can say a
word. Mr.. Snow is resident of
White River. That he holds the
Office of Bishop of the colony of
Lund is sufficient evidence in
itself that he is man of ability.
District Attorney Walker finds
himself in difficult situation.
The voters expect him, as all
other candidates, to visit them
personally, and his Office work
will not permit an extended alb
sence from the court House.
This is the busiest time of the
year for school matters, and with
two felony cases to be prepared
for the term of Court to be called
this month, including q Grand
Jury, he believes it to be to the
best interests of the county to
keep Office hours. Under the
law, he is the legal adviser of all
the other county officers; and as
most of them are away from
town, leaving persons in charge
who are more or less unfamiliar
with the duties of the respective
offices, we believe the voters will
realize that it is his place to be
on hand to give them such aid
and advice as may be needed. |

Representations have been made to the

opinions of the merchants of San Fran

an even chance with the Southern Pa

ness.
If the Southern Pacific Company is
compelled to abandon the toll on the
coast line it will have the tendency to
attract freight to the coast line, which
would be able to make lower rates to
the amount of the toll imposed at pres
ent than the Santa Fe or the Central
Pacific.
The investigating committee is try
ing to discover the use to which the
Southern Pacific Company puts the
money collected as a State toll on the
coast line. 1t is not received by the
Board of Harbor Commissioners, and
there is no present public knowledge
concerning its destination. But it is be-
ing paid by San Francisco merchants

A FALSE PROPHET.

Among the dead woman's effects was
found card from a fortune-telling ma
chine. 1t bore the following predic-
ton:
An unexpected event will bring great
fortune, and you will enjoy perfect
happiness"
For this woman the prophecy, like
the oracles of old, held a double mean
ing.
Detectives Bunner, Freel and Gibson
took Curry to the Hall Of Justice, where
he was held on a charge of murder. He
appeared unconcerned, saying that he
had shot the woman because she was
unfaithful. He had thought he would
reclaim her by marriage, but found that
to be impossible. When he learned that
she was in company with another man
he had become crazy with rage and did
not know what he was doing.
A letter was found in his possession
addressed to his wife, in which he said
he was going away. he did not know
where.
Curry is % years old. He came to
California six months ago from Coffey
County. Georgia, and has been en-
ployed since April last on the Powell
street line. Curry was arrested two
months ago for shooting at an Italian
at the ferry building. He claimed that
the man had insulted his wife. lThe
charge was dismissed.
The woman's maiden name was Daisy
Jones. Her father. George E. Jones, is
a minister in Corona, Riverside County.
She was formerly the wife of man
named Pechner and had one child. a lit
tie girl. She was 80 years of age. a
