RENO UP.

Reno is waking up to a realizing sense
of what 1t means to run a wide open
town and run 1t to the limit. The Mems
Club, an organization Of business and
professional men of that city. has taken
up the subject of Reno's moral condition
and something may come of the agita-
ton provided the people have really got
enough of gambling and it's profits to

ing element costs the county $4,000 per
annum. He further states 1t as his be-
lief that every business man pay out
two dollars to support the gamblers and
riff raff to every one dollar of profit that
he gets from them.
A year ago the Nevada Observer start
ed a crusade against "non-producers" in
Reno which attracted wide attention and
used law on the statute books for clos
ing saloons and gambling houses at II
O'Clock every night. The CJserver was
given but half-hearted support by bust

great majority. The trial in the Senate
lasted three weeks and conviction failed
by only one vote. Another Impeachment
famous in it's day was that of Justice
Samuel Chase of the United States Su-
preme Court in 1904. From it sprang a
national scandal. Political feeling in
those days ran to extreme rancor. When
the Federalists in 1900 felt their grip
upon power relaxing they passed a law
creating district judgeships and proceeded
to fill them with stanch F~ederalists.
President John Adams, on the day of his
retirement, is said to have worked until
midnight appointing judges. President
all the judgeships hlleo with Federalists
for life. He sought to have the law Gre
ating them repealed, but failed. Then nc
resorted to impeachment. Pickering was
impeached, Chase was attacked and
many others were marked for slaughter.
But an obstacle was encountered in Vice
president Aaron Burr, VINO, dIth0uSh OF
the same party as jefferson, presided a
the Chase trial with the impartiality o
an angel and the rigor of a devil. Po-
litical feeling was sifted out of the EVIL
dence and the charges failed. In 1880
Judge Peck of the United States District
Court for Missouri was tried by the Sen
ate on an Impeachment which charged
arbitrary and improper conduct in pun-
ishing for contempt of court an attorney
who had published a criticism of one of
Judge Peck's decision. A majority of the
enate voted to acquit after a brief lear
ing. The last impeachment, previous to
the present Swayne case. was that OF
William w. Belknap. He was accused of
accepting money for the appointment and
retention of a post trader in office. After
the House had unanimously voted his
impeachment he resigned and the pro-
ceedings were stopped.

FAMOUS IMPEACHMENT CASES.

The recent impeachment proceedings
against Judge Swayne of Florida has
occasioned a research of the various inn
parchment cases in the history of this
country. The P~ittsburg Press says:
Impeachment proceedings against
United States officials nave not been rare.
though only two convictions have been
found. The first impeachment case tried
by the United States Senate was that of
William Blount. Senator from Tennessee.
He was accused of conspiring with Brit
ish agents to organize a western force
for the seizure of New Orleans and all
the Spanish territory of the southwest.
He was acquitted on the ground that a
Senator is not a civil officer of the Unit
ed States. The first conviction was that
of Judge Pickering of the United States
District Court for New Hampshire. He
was accused of drunkenness, profanity
on the bench and making decisions gross
ly contrary to law. Insanity was pleaded
in his behalf. but on March II, 1903, the
Senate voted him guilty. and the penalty
was expulsion from office. The other
successful impeachment was in 1867,
Judge West ii. Humphreys of the United
States District Court for Tennessee. who
had refused to resign after accepting a
Confederate judgeship. He was convicted
by a unanimous vote.
The most famous impeachment case in
the history of this country was that of
President Andrew Johnson In February
1868. He was accused of high crimes and
misdemeanors cited in eleven articles.
and the House voted impeachment by a

AN IDAHO CAVE.

The Haley News-Miner con-
tains the following interesting
little story of a newly discovered
cave
John L. Zimmerman, who was
in town yesterday, reported that
about two weeks ago his son
Henry, and Priestly Tomlinson
discovered an extensive cave,
which, they named the Nam
moth"
It is situated about six miles
south of Timmeran's and a mile
off the main travelled road. The
entrance is small and plainly
visible, but one ever took the
trouble to find out its extent.
Once through this aperture the
visitor finds himself in a cave 80
feet high and 30 feet wide. The
cave is said to extend into hill
or bluff for a quarter of mile,
varying in size.
The entrance will be enlarged
and the narrow portions widened
out and the full extent of the
Mammoth" ascertained.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
NELS OLSON DIES AT CHALLIS
WITH CANCER.

Challis has again suffered the
loss of another of its honored
and sturdy pioneers. This time
it was Mr.. Nels Olson. He died
at his home in this city on Fri
day morning May 18th, 1905, at
about 8 o'clock, surrounded by
relatives and friends. The cause
of his death was from cancer of
the stomach. He has been q,
very patient sufferer for long
time. Last Winter he went to
Salt Lake to secure medical or
surgical relief if possible, but
after undergoing an operation in
that city the doctors pronounced
his case incurable-cancer of the
stomach.
AS soon as he was able Mr..
Olson came back to Challis to
die among his relatives and
friends, for he well knew that
the end was near, for the doc
tors told him about how long he
could expect to live, but owing
to his strong constitution he held
onto life longer than was antici-
pated. For the last twenty
seven days he could eat nothing,
or take any kind of nourishment
and SO the slender chord between
life and death broke, and the old
gentleman passed away to that
bourne from whence no traveller
has ever returned. 1t must be
terrible agony to die from can
Ger of the stomach-it is death
by starvation But the deceas-
ed was rugged and used to the
hardships of life so he did not
complain, and was conscious up
to very last.
Mr.. Olson was a good mana
good husband, a good neighbor
and a good citizen. Although
he may of had seemingly rough
exterior and manner he had a
good true heart. within-it was
his way for he rode the seas as .,
sailor during the earlier years
of his life.
Mr.. Olson was born in Sweden
about SO years ago. We first
knew him at Custer in the sos.
Since then he has worked in diff
ferent camps in the county, but
'ate years has devoted his at
tention to farming in Challis and
on Warm Springs Creek.
The funeral, which was large
ly attended, was held Sunday
afternoon the 14th inst. The
deceased leaves an aged wife and
other relatives.
