Love Troubles of the Rich,

Recent events have recalled very par
ticular attention to the fact that love
not only laughs at locksmiths but at
every sort Of opposition. In the popu-
lar novels Of a generation ago it was
the poor man who wooed the rich girl or
the rich man who wooed the poor girl.
and succeeded after a sea of troubles in
reaching the state of happiness which
we were led to believe was perpetual,
So mote it bel 1t is constantly borne in
on the minds of the intelligent that love
has no relation to condition or circun-
stance. We are told by some that
among the rich there is no romance be-
cause of monetary conditions, while 9TH
ers would have us believe that every
poor girl is anxious for a millionaire
husband The truth is that the great
principle underlying the fundamental
conduct of human nature is the sexual
instinct, and this has no bounds either
as to race, wealth or social position. No
philosopher has explained why we love.
but all admit that we do and without
any prescribed rule.
That bride of wealth and social nosi
ton from New York should have ar
rived in this city with all her own ana
her husbands changes of clothing in a
bag cannot but stir the sentimental
minds of the average. 1t has been said
that all the world loves a lover and
it certainly loves those who have co,,r-
portance except as an example of the
fact that love knocks with equal mace
at the novels of the poor and The nall
aces of kings-which is a slight varia-
ton from Horace and was as true in
his day as in ours. And, 20 tits love
tits love that makes the world 20
round "-Philadeiphi Tribune

Mr.. MULVANE'S LOSS.
Says 1t Will Be About $4,000
Net.

After an inspection of the damage to
the Parkhurst-Davis building, of which
he was sole owner, Joab Mulvane said
this morning;
Il place my loss at about $50, 900.
That will be about the difference be-
tween the damage by the fire and the
insurance on my part of the property.
The insurance was $4,000. AS it stood
before the fire the Davis
building had cost me about S55, COO. but
I will not be able to replace it for that
money
Material for building is higher. The
value of the property was more yesterday
than it was the day when finished in
1901. The value of the building and lots
on which it was located l placed at $1,000

insurance in my own company, the SHAW

The insurance on the. Mulvane building
was distributed follows: Springfield,

could have done absolutely nothing to

thing will certainly have to be done by
Topeka. This condition can not be al

NEVADA

If THE original irrigation bill
that False Alarm Newlands talks
so much about had passed Cong
ress it would have been vetoed the
very moment it reached Roosevelt,
for that bill contained many vic
ious features which would have
allowed the land-grabbers and
spectators to quickly gobble up
all the land that was yet vacant
and which the government pro-
posed to put water on. Roosevelt
forced the elimination of these
vicious features from all bills and
demanded that theameasure should
be so shaped that the lands should
be held in small tracts for actual
settlers. He then intimated that
he would sign such measure and
urged its passage. 1t was merely
through the courtesy of Republic
cans in the House that Newlands
had anything to do with the meas
ure at all. Mondell, of Wyoming,
had been selected to look after the
measure in the House, but at the
solicitation of Newlands that the
measure might not seem partisan
one he was given charge of it,
and from this condition of things
arises the preposterous claim of
Newlands to the paternity of the
National Irrigation Law.
