CONSOLIDATING COUNTY OFFICES.

A business man does not hire
two persons to do certain work
if one person can do it. a coun-
ty should be run on as strictly
business lines as any private con-
Germ.
Under any conditions, there
could be only two objections to
consolidating county offices, viz.
The duties of the offices being
inconsistent and the work being
too heavy In this county Meth
er objection can be sustained to
the uniting of the offices of
County Clerk and Treasurer and
the offices of Sheriff and Assessor.
This was the arrangement in
this county IA few years ago and
we have never understood why
the combinations were changed.
Under the present arrange
ment, no one of the four officers
above, possibly the Sheriff ex-
cepted, receives IA fair living
wage. We have commented on
the salaries of the Clerk and
Treasurer in "a previous article:
the former receives $500 per
month and fees; the latter sos 30
per month, without any side is
sues. The work of the Offices is
very light; one man could attend
to both, with plenty of time to
mediate upon which railroad
will enter Ely first. The duties
would in no wise conflict, and bv
making one Office eX -officiO Of the
other. the county could afford to
pay salary that the incumbent
would not be ashamed to tell
The offices of Clerk and Treasur-
er are united in the large and
prosperous county of Elko, and
should be in White Pine.
The office of Treasurer went a
begging this winter. Both po-
litical parties had to coax their
candidates to run. The success
full one refused to qualify after
being elected, and there were nc
applicants before the Commits
sioners for appointment. 1t was
offered to former Treasurer
Miles, who accepted, with the
statement that he would not
promise to fill out the two years.
The Assessor receives 500 pei
month, with comparatively moth
ing to do for six months of the
year; yet his living expenses are
as much as though he was en-
ployed all the time, and he has
the additional expense of being
Obliged to keep up team.
The Sheriff has fair salary
Sl25 a month and fees so
little to do that he could attend
to the Assessors duties along
with his own without rushing.
The only objection that could be
raised would be his frequent alb
sence from the county seat; but
whether the Offices are consol-
idated or not, the present Legis-
laturo aboall allow him n salaried

ures in Many Russian Cities.
st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE efforts
Of the chief of police to smother the
political agitation has led them even
to invade the cemeteries in their
search for evidence of treason.
1t has become the practice of stu
dents to place on the graves of the
comrades who were active or who
suffered in the cause of freedom were
each bound with ribbons on which po-
litical sentiments are inscribed. The
police now make nocturnal visits to
the cemeteries in search for these
reasonable notices which are prompt
ly conf1scated. But being ignorant,
the policemen make curious mistakes.
The other day a harmless inscription
in Greek simply expressive of sympa-
thy, was seized and on Wednesday
a red ribon attached to a wreath on
the grave of a we'll known official
being interpreted by the police as a
revolutionary emblem which not only
cut off bu1 created SO much alarm
that a general order was sent out to
all vendors of mortuary wreaths pro
hibiting the sale of red ribbons

JACK THE RIPPER
APPEARS IN GOTHAM
Mysterious Murder of Woman
In New York Hotel.
SHE WAS STABBED TO DEATH
Police Baffed at Tragedy and They
Are Looking for Person Similar to
One Who Terrorized White Chapel
District of London Years Ago.

New York, April, Elements of
mystery recalling the stories of Jack
the Ripper who terrorized the White
Chapel district in London years ago,
were present in the sensational stab
bing today in a Thirteenth street ho-
tel of young woman.
She died in a hospital few hours
after the stabbing.
A patron of the hotel whom the
police put under arrest, although adj
mitting he was in the woman's com
pany short time before she was in
jured, say he did not know how she
received the wound that resulted in
her death.
The woman, whose name was Ma
mie Wilson, was stabbed in the abdo-
men. The wound was very long
knife wound, for which the police are
unable to account, and which the man
under arrest protests did not belong
to him.
The character of the cut was similar
to that made on the victims of the
London 'Jack the Ripper
The man under arrest is James
Boye, club steward He told the
police he was with the woman last
night, but said that she had left him
and he did not know how she was
stabbed. When he was arrested it
was found that seven of Boye's teeth
had been knocked out and that one or
his eyes had been blacked by blow. +!

San Antonio, April 7.-Never has
such patriotic demonstration been
witnessed here as that which greeted
President Roosevelt today upon his
first visit to San Antonio since he

the principal business thoroughfares

bright and pleasant
The city was early astir to prepare
its welcome to the president, who
passed a night of sound rest in his
special train where a detail of police
was on guard duty throughout the
night. At $3.50 o'clock a committee
of citizens called on the president and
escorted him to Fort Sam Houston. De
spite the early hour the entire route
was lined with people who gave the
president an enthusiastic welcome.
The president stood in his carriage
bowling and smiling. When Fort Sam
Houston was reached a salute of p
guns was fired and President Roose-
velt was received by General Jesse
M. Lee, commanding the department
of Texas. After a few minutes chat
with the officers the president review
ed the troops which paraded in full
uniform.
Leaving Fort Sam Houston the par
ty moved to the city where 10000
school children awaited the president
at Travis park. When he entered the
enclosure every child held aloft a tiny
United States flag and waved it Wig
ourously. The children sang "Ameri-

SEEKS MEANS TO RID
CITY OF MENDICANTS
Police Commission Takes Up the
Subject of Crippled
BeuuarS

So great and menacing has become
the army of crippled beggars in Los
Angeles that the police commission
yesterday set about to find means
of Kidding the city of these undesired
individuals, most of whom Chief Ham
mel classes as "yeggmen."
1t has been discovered that there is
no law by which they may be driven
from the streets, as. the only ordinance
of the kind applies to 'able-bodied
beggars."
Commissioner Johnson, in discussing
the question, advocated the placing of
these helpless cripples at the poor farm,
he holding that something should be
done for them.
The commission decided to ask the
council to amend the existing ordi-
nance so that 1t can be enforced against
crippled mendicants, as well as the
able bodied.
