GARFIELD's REPORT.

The report Of Commissioner Garfield
upon the business Of the beef trust

client, and will not appeal to the Amer.
lean people as "A sound paper or one

II is not such n document as would
have been framed by one more certain
Of his ground or one with the true turn
for investigation and arraying Of facts
A man like Governor Folk, of Missouri
for instance, would not have gulpcd
down the figures presented by the
trusts, but would have had to be
shown. Garfield does not figure up TO
the stature Of his official position. He
has been clearly and easily hoodwinked.
Basing the statement that the beef
trust does not control the market be
cause it handles only 45 per cent. Of
the slaughtered becvcs of the whole
country is u sample of Commissioner
Garheld's logic. The report itself
show. however, that in the large cen
ters the trusts control aS per cent. OF
the trodo. Any school boy should know
that these central trading points abso.
lutcly control the marSet of the entire
country, just as the wheat quotations

The report is a disappointing one
and will not be accepted by the people

NO STATE FAIR.

After consultation the state fair
board has decided to hold no state fair
this year, and not even a race meeting.
There were Salem business men ready
to put up $500 to guarantee the sue
cess Of race meeting, but there was
little interest shown.
The election of Frank Durbin as sec
retary makes the board and its man
agment completely Democratic. Mr.
Durbin was two terms sheriff.
He is also first class business man,
and competent to fill the place His
election means that there will be liber-
al and progressive policies for conduct
ing the fair and improving the grounds
From a political standpoint it seems
to signify the uniting of the Marion
county Democratic factions in closer
bonds Of harmony and brotherly love.

bin has been very successful in the

ticket for state senator two years

~Twas dying they thought her,
And kindly they brought her
To The banks Of Blackwater,
Where her forefatbers lie;
Twas the place Of her childhood
And they hoped that its wild wood
And air soft and mild would
SoOihe her spirit to die.
But she met on its border

No rich man, nor lord, or
a coward, or slave;
But enc who had worn
A green coat, and borne
"A pike from Sieve Mourne,
With the patriots brave.
Obi the banks Of the stream are
Than emeralds greener
Aad how should they wean her
From loving the earthf
While the song-birds so sweet,
And the waves at their feet,
And each young pair they meet,
Are all flushing with mirth.
And she listed his talk,
And he shared in her walk
And how could she balk

But why tell the resti
EssT love she eonfest,
And sunk on his breast

Ahl now her cheek glows
With the tint Of the rose,
And her healthful blood flows
just as fresh as the stream;
And her eye flashes bright,
And her footstep is light,
And sickness and blight
Fled away like dream.
AAd soon by his side
she kneels sweet bride,
in maidenly pride
And maidenly fears;
And their children were fair;
And their home knew no care,
Save that all homesteads were
Not happy as theirs.

Abundant Fruit Crop Assured.

The fruit crop of the Carson
Sink will be abundant and of
fine quality this season. Apples,
pears, peaches and plums, have
but in a few cases been harmed
by frost and have now reached a
stage that insures record
breaking crop.
This shows cOnclusively that
other products besides alfalfa
will flourish in our climate. With
an intelligent handling of fruit
culture, the fruits named "a nd all
kinds of berries will do as well
here as any place. 1t is only a
question of a short time until
horticulture will become one OF
our leading industries, as our
state is an excellent fruit market.

is for the purpose of recognizing
and increasing the capital stock
in the sum of 81, 900, 900 for i'm
provements.
The name of the company is to
bechanged. This novels thought
to be the result of long-drawn-
out negotiations with the South

clared III Reno business circles
that the Hartman interests
have acquired control of the line
and that the work now in pro-
gress on the Hazen cutoff is to
be brought to a stop, but it is
thought that the wish in this
case is father of the thought.
No anticipation is had in this
section of any such action, al
though the report ofthe proba-
BILE sale of the Virginia &
Truckee is not discredited. On
the contrary it is thought that
the Southern Pacific will operate
both routes, and while the major
portion of traffic is bound to and
from the east, should the Harri.

the Virginia & Truckee Railway
it would be good-sized bone
thrown to Reno, which has been

Rathbone Sisters Ball a Success

The first anniversary ball of
Phoebe Temple No. 13, Rathbone
Sisters, was given last evening
in New River Hall and was in
every detail a pronounced sue
cess. Nohly the Sir knights of
Alpine Castle No. 24 rallied in
support of the ladies and patron
lied the party with their dollars
and their presence.
White, red, yellow and blue,
the colors of the order, were dis
played in festoons of bunting
and in the triangle, symbolic of
the society. At the end of the
hall, also in the lodge colors,
were the letters p. L. E. F.,
which to every knight and sister
read-purity. love, equality and
hdelty.
The floor was in perfect shape
and the Fallon orchestra dis
coursed excellent music.
Mrs. r. T. Fortune was floor
director and the reception COM
mittee was the entire roster of
the Temple. Mesdames Ella Fer
guson, Ella Winder, Daisy Will
liams, A. X. Jeffrey, Gil ace Fergu-
son, Mile Williams, Kitty Loft
house and Louise Inman acted
as floor managers and the COM
mittee on arrangements were
Mesdames Gardner, Jeffrey, Fer
guson, Fortune and Inman.
Each patron of the ball was
presented with a neat bOutton-
Mere, the colors of which har-
monized with the decorations of
the hall.
An intermission at midnight
was announced by the supper
march and the merry makers re-
paired to the Churchill Hotel
where they enjoyed a delightful
supper. Dancing was then re-
sumed and continued until a late
hour.
The ladies of Phoebe Temple
are deserving of the many con-
gratulations rendered them, for
the party was in every way a
success. In a year the lodge has
thriven beyond anticipations. 1t
has now a membership of about
fifty and is stillrapidly growing.

FULLER IS
BOUND OVER
Case VIII Be Heard In
Next District
Court.

The ending of the primary
proceedings of what promises to
be one of the most sensational
criminal cases that has come to
to the notice Of Churchill county
authorities occurred III Justice
of the Peace Blacks court room
last Tuesday morning when p.
Mcdonald Fuller was bound ov-
er TO answer before the next Jury
under bonds of $4,000. charged
by DIR. G.. NJ. Gardner with an
assa nit with a deadly weapon
with intent to murder.
The evidence taking consumed
the greater part of last Monday,
and as stated in the Standard of
last week, showed conclnsively
that the defendant was the ag-
gressor, beyond any question of
doubt, and no attempt was
made to produce contrary evil
dence. 1t was sought, however,
to show that Mr.. Fuller acted
while suffering from an aberrat-
ed mental condition, induced by
a four-days spree, and in setting
up this plea the defense sought
to extenuate the crime. The de
fendant's statement Of the unfOr-
tunate affair, in which he came
near ending another mans life,
made in the justice court was
quite voluminous, covering his
actions for a period OF four days,
intervening between the time
that he left his wife in Reno and
the shooting affair.
| After listening to the evidence
and final arguments of counsel,
Judge Black placed Mr.. Fuller
under bonds in the sum stated,
to insure his appearance IN the
next district court in this city.
with X. l.. Douglass and p. c.
Smith as sureties.
Imprisonment in the peneten-
tiary tor a term of from one to

ishment provided by the state
statutes for the otfense charged.
Mrs. Fuller, who is undergo
ing treatment at Reno for a
chronic affection of the lungs, is
greatly distressed at the incident
and reports state that her phys
ical and mental condition is Dor
dering on collapse. Public SYM
pathy OF the community is unan-
imously directed to her. There
is also a marked absence of i'll
feeling toward the defendant on
the part of the prosecution.
