FLOWERS ARE BARRED.
No BOquetS for Senator'S or Repre-.
SentativeS Hereafter.

Washington, Nov. 29.-There will
be no flowers in either house on the
opening day Of congress. A resolution
of the senate was adopted during the
last session of congress barring flowers
from the senate chamber.
Mr.. Cannon has already given notice
that he will not allow the flowers to be
brought in as heretofore. Rivalry Of
admirers of different members Of both
houses reached a stage where half the
desks were buried in flowers. and the
persons they were meant to compliment
were completely hidden behind the
productions of the florists.
The officers Of both houses have been
informed that there will be no floral
display, and flowers intended for men,
bers will probably be stopped at the
door of the capitol on opening day.

New York, Nov. 29.-At a special
meeting Of the board OF directors OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway Company, the board formally
authorized the building Of an extern
sion to the Pacific coast from Evarts,

gin forthwith. 1t is estimated that
the cost will be about $50, 900. 900.
1t was announced at the close Of the
meeting that as yet no plans had been
determined on for financing the project.
This matter in all probability will be
decided upon at a meeting of the exec
utive committee to be held today. An
issue of convertible bonds has been
under consideration, but there is no
likelihood of an increase in the road q
capital stock, about $25, 100000 Of
which is still unissued.
New Company Projected.
Preparations already have been made
for the incorporation Of new railway
company from Evarts, which, howev.
or, will be entirely financed by the
Milwaukee company.
While all the details of the route
have not been decided upon, the road
will run toward the Rocky mountains
west by north Of west to Butte. Thence
it will be extended westerly, crossing
the Bitter Root mountains through Lolo
pass and ultimately connecting at Wal
lula, Wash, the terminus Of the recent.
ly incorporated Pacific railroad, which
runs to that point from Seattle.
The road will also seek an outlet al
Tacoma, and will touch Helena, Spo-
kane and Portland. The construction
Of the road will begin simultaneously
at Seattle on the Pacific road and al
Evsrts.

the camp is unusually healthy, and the
death rate exceedingly low, in fact he
reports Goldfield as one Of the health

While in the camp he made an exam

He Goes After Morality Braae and
Printers Ink Flies.
While Jack higgins Of Winnemucca
was in this city he saw some articles
In the Silver State on the anti-gamb.
ling bill and the early closing move
ment. They were written by the new
moralist of the Silver State and did
not coincide with Biggings' idea Of
early closing or gaming in Whine
mucca. He said that he was getting
tired of paying good hard money to
nurse the journalistic viper in mis-
bosom and was going back to Winnie
mucca to express his feelings to Bragg
at close range.
Leaving several legislative schemes
in which he was interested, he hied to
Winnemucca and from the appearance
Of the last issue of the Silver State
he must have called on the Evangelist
Of Winnemucca-late of Reno-in his
lair.
The paper says:
D. J. higgins visited the Silver State
once yesterday with blood in his eye
and communication in his pocket.
The communication is published in an
other column of this paper. The pres
ent editor of the Silver State has
known Mr.. higgins for number OF
years and knows him to be pretty
good people; but i: his new cole of
editor of newspaper he is away out OF
alignment. The Silver State is news
paper and trys to give the news of the
day truthfully. In doing that it would
be very strange If at times it did not
err; but If it does the editor will as
sumo the responsibility Of such err
ror Mr. higgins is usually alright,
but getting mad about the course the
Silver State pursues is all wrong. M.
higgins is about our age and size, an l
if he has any well-grounded cause Of
complaint he need hold no one but the
editor of this paper responsible. We
don't know who is the best man ply
sically, but the editor will go into Mr..
higgins back yard, or he can come
into ours and we will try conclusions
according to Marquis Of Queensbury
rules. If any outsider interferes, Big
gins and the editor will go into cahoots
double team on him. and If we can't
put him to sleep will administer knock
Iout drops. D. J. higgins is a pretty
good man and so is the editor of this
paper.
In another column is communica
ton from higgins himself, written il
his most epigramatic style.
