Church Services in City of Miner.
al Point.
Easter Services at St, Paul's
Catholic Church.

The religious services and ceremo-
nies of Easter Sunday were more than
ordinarily solemn and elaborate at
St. Paul's Catholic Church. Never
was there such an abundance of flow
ering plants of various species, gera-
NUNS, petunias, tulips, Easter and
Gala lilies, etc., so tactfully and
skillfully were they arranged on the
Altar and in the Sanctuary, that the
ensemble presented refreshing and
happy grouping, showing to advan-
tage the different colored blossoms
and flowers. The credit for this is
due to Miss Mary Healy, Mrs, Thoma
and Mrs. G.. w, Holmes. who were in
charge of this decoration. The choir
seemed never to have been in better
voice. Under the direction of Miss
Agnes Gorgen, they gave Leonards
mass in B fiat, in an exceptionally
forceful and pleasing manner. The
harmony and time were remarkable,
showing care in the preparation. All
the singers were deserving of praise.
Both services were we'll attended. At
the first Mass large number received
Holy Communion. At the last Mass the
church was crowded, very gratifying
considering the bad condition of the
roads.
The pastor Father O'Keefc preached
an effective and appropriate Easter
sermon from the text "You seek Jesus
of Nazareth, He is risen, He is not
here Behold the place where they laid
Him." The days exercises were
finished with Vespers aud Benediction
of the Blessed Sacrament, which also
were attended by very large congre-

FREE FOR ALL OPENING
No Allotment Will Be Made
of the Walker Lake Reser-
vation Mineral Lands

In an interview at Reno last week,
Surveyor-General Kyle made the fol-
lowing statements in regard to the
reservation opening:
"There will be no allotments made in
opening the Walker river Indian reser-
vation. At 10 O'Clock noon on the Goth
of October, the immense mineral tract
in the reservation will become part Of
the unsurveyed public domain, subject
to entry as any other mineral land.
Every person entitled to enter mining
claims can participate in the rush and
take up as many claims as he pleases.
"The opening Of the Walker river
reservation will simply result in another
big mining rush, similar in character
bat perhaps more exciting than many
others that have taken place in this
State. Every man will have an equal
chance, with the others. He can locate
just as many claims as he can stake ont,
provided of course that some other
enterprising citizen is not ahead.
There will be no allotment, it will
be afree-for-all-rush and the prizes will
go to the men who happen to know
where the best mineral lays, and who
get there first"

The Austin Reveille says the testi'
mony in the case showed Dwyer to be q
dangerous man with total disregard fol-
human life. His feeble defense Of in
sanity was the only available thing to
save him from the eallows and. that
having absolutely failed. it looks as
though Dryers day Of crime is over.
This is not his first murder. as he
served term in Montana for killing a
man known as Panhandle Bob," being
pardoned through the efforts of his
wife, who has since died.
The verdict meets with the approval
of the people. Dwyer has friends who
have done everything In their power to
help him in his defense, and the man
ner in which his case was managed
shows that they have plenty Of money
which 10 at his disposal. but so far il
has availed them nothing.
When the verdict was read, Dwyel
turned white, but other wise appeared
to control his feelings.

General Bell assumed the duties of

When the transport Sumner sailed
from New York with 900 regulars for
service in Cuba she had on board a
young officer of engineers whose name
is a household word not only In the
United States, but all over the world.
This officer was Lieutenant Ulysses s.
Grand Sd, son of Major General Fred
erick ID. Grant, commander of the de-
partment of the east. Being a grandson
of one of the greatest soldiers of the
time, he inherits love for the smell
of gunpowder, and his chief fear has
been that his country would see no
more war during his lifetime. He was
born in 1881, and one of the last acts
of his distinguished grandfather was to
write a letter addressed to '"rhe Pres
ident of the United States" asking for
the present Lieutenant Grants appoint
ment to West Point. 1t was handed to
President Mckinley in 1899, and thus
the appointment the elder General
Grant desired was made. The young
man made a fine record at the acade.
