John Brown Of Tonopah, who by the
way bears the same name but can be no
relation to the John Brown Of ante
bellum fame-whose ''soul goes march
ing on"-was arrested last Wednesday,
on complaint of a citizen named Henry,
for numerically beating his dog on
Main street with a barrel stave. He
plead guilty to the charge before Judge
Brissell and was required to pay a fine
of $40 for cruelty to animals. He paid
it and was discharged.
There are others who should be
''jerked up for similar ~offenses. Re-
peatedly have we seen saddle horses,
cinched to the top-notch, and tied to
posts, standing for hours and hours on
the street, without food or drink, while
their owners were some where about
town enjoying themselves in drunken
revelry, entirely forgetful of their
patient beasts of burden. The measley
pittance, which it would require to put
such animals in the livery stable, where
they would be properly cared for, these
owners feel they cannot afford to pay
yet they will squander from ten to
probably a hundred times as much in
foolishly gratifying their morbid appe-
tites or passions. Many of these peo-
pie who thus violate the law, by impos-
ing on the poor dun brute, r not

DEMOCRATIC==STLYER
STATE CONVENTION

At Reno last Thursday the joint con-
vention of the Democratic and Silver
parties was held to nominate the officers
who are to head the ticket at the
coming election. These are as follows,
according to the Journal:
For Governor, John Sparks of Washoe
country; Lieutenant Governor, D. S.
Dickerson of White Pine; for Congress,
George A. Bartlett of Nye; Justice of
the Supreme Court, James G. Sweeney;
Secretary of State, Frank Mannix of
Nye county; State Treasurer, D. M.
Ryan of Storey county; Attorney Cen
eral, Richard c.. Stoddard of Washoe
county; Surveyor General, E. D. Kelley
of 0rmsby; Superintendent of Public
Instruction, r. H. Mitchell of Ormsby;
State Printer, Irwin Lewis of Ormsby.
For District Judges the following
were nominated: Frank P. Langan,
first judicial district: S. j. Bonnifield,
Jr. and w. H. A. Pike, second district;
Peter Breen, third district, and George
S. Brown fourth district.
Charles B. Henderson was nominated
to fill the long term as Regent of the
State University and Charles R. Levers
of Reno to fill the short term.
Gov. Sparks address of acceptance
was short. He made no attempt to ado
to the oratory of the occasion. HI
spoke simply and freely. An attemp'
to construe his remarks adversely were
impossible, for he made it apparent by
action, accent, attitude and word that
for him, the day of political ambition
had passed away. If he stood on tn
platform at McKissick's as the stan
dard bearer of the Democratic party
he did so because it had been mad
plain to him that such a course is neces
sary and will subserve the veal of hi
party in Nevada no less than the geo
of her growing towns and cities.
When he finished p%andemoniur
reigned; hats were waved and the dele
gates cheered themselves hoarse.

DIR. A. H. Elftman and Assistant
Editor Simpson of the Sun visited
Round Mountain last Saturday and Sun
day and are loud in their praises of that
place. They say it is one Of the few
towns in Nevada in which the camp is
ahead of the business and that the
values in gold are certainly wonderful.
They predict a brilliant future for
Round Mountain.
L. G. Brattin the Oakland real estate
agent, arrived in Tonopah last Wednes-
day. This is Mr.. Brattin's first visit
to Tonopah and he says he is very we'll
pleased with the place. Mr.. Brattin
has Just returned from Round Noun
tain and Manhattan and is particularly
''stuck" on the former camp. He left
for Goldfeld and Bullfrog Thursday but
says he will make another visit to
Round Mountain Immediately upon his
return.
H. G. Mcmahon one the heaviest
operators in the Bullfrog district who is
interested with Senator T. l.. 0ddie in
many of the best properties of that
section, spent Wednesday in Tonopah
on his way to California, for a few
weeks of rest and pleasure. Mr.. Nc
Mahon says Bullfrog country is looking
better than ever. The grade of the
Clark road to Beatty is just completed.
End rails have been laid within 10 miles
of that town, and it is only a matter
of a few days before trains will be
running into Beatty.
A telegram was received Tuesday by
the Champlin Auto company from
Harry Smith, the driver of the car in
which Jim Butler is making his tour of
the northern and central part of the
State. 1t was handed in at Wabuska
and states that both the car and its
occupants are we'll and will return next
week. 1t is reported that Mr.. Butler
whistles and huns all day long 'wait
till the (g~ubernatoriaD clouds roll by,

is keeping discreetly out of the way till
the clouds have rolled by, he is also
waiting till the Suns beams-or rather
the Suns boom-have gone down.

as the assistant of j. F. Haley, local
manages for the Calkins Syndicate, and

charge of the business in that portion

A MATTER OF REGRET

The refusal of James L. Butler, the
father of Tonopah, to permit his name
to go on the Republican ticket as a
candidate for gubernatorial honors was
a disappointment to the people of Ne
vada and especially to Tonopahans.
Butler is a Nevadan-every inch-in
speech, action and personality, and his
acceptance would be equivalent to his
election, for his popularity among all
classes-rich and poor, high and low is
boundless. However, his positive re-
fusal to accept is regretted by all who
sincerely hope that he will reconsider
his decision before the time for the
convention arrives.

Jim Butler is Back in Town

Jim Butler returned to town late on
Thursday night from Winnemucca.
He reports having had a very pleasant
and profitable trip and that he has been
over some very likely country. Jim
declares that a Champlin auto has a
burro skinned to death as far as pros
pecting goes. He emphatically re-
pudiates any desire to run as governor
and is strongly in favor of the candi-
dacy of John Mitchell. He declares
that he could do more good, particular
ly in the event of any labor arising, as
a private citizen than he could as gov
ernor. "What is MORE" he added, 81

] could not spare the time either to
make my fight or to perform my duties
as governor, if elected" The driver of
the car in which Jim Butler made his
trip reports that Jim whistled and
hummed all day long wait till the
(gubernatoriaD clouds roll by, Jimmy"
C%uriously enough, though Jim was
waiting for the clouds to roll by, he
refused to come back to Tonopah till
the Suns beams-or rather the Suns
boom-had gone down.

TRUE UNIONS JOIN HANDS.

The new labor organization in Tono-
pah, 1.-THE Tonopah Labor Council"
which was oganized by the Building
Trade Council of that city, is proving a
success beyond measure. Though less
than two weeks old, almost every labor
organisation in Tonopah has joined it
and that grand organization the Miners
union, is seriously considering taking
the same step, for it now realizes that
Shaw and Roberts, who represent
we should have said misrepresentation the
l. w. W., have attempted to use the
popularity which that magnificent
union enjoys, as a weapon with which
to bulldoze merchants into joining their
l. W. W. How well do we remember
the epidemic in Tonopah in January
and February 1902, when strong brave
hearted men were seized with chills and
in from six to twenty hours died in con-
vulsions; how a panic seized the camp
and how at the critical moment the
Tonopah Miners union, whose aim is
the protection of labor, the rights of a
community and whose principles repre-
sent good government, not anarchism,
went to the rescue. The Miners union
stepped in and that dark winter of death
will always have one bright memory and
that memory the one of the Miners

into a Rec Cross society of mercy and
nursed and succored the distressed and
dying and extended the soothing hand
of tenderness and love when the world
grew dark and the precious souls APP
preached the river of Death. Every
member of the union proved a hero and
there were no Roberts" or ''Shaws"
on the roll, for that kind of cattle was
not tolerated in Tonopah in those good
old days. Therefore we say to the
Miners union, of which every true Ne
vadan is proud, you should cut aloof from
the anarchists (who would destroy your
grand organization if they could and
dared) and join the Tonopah Labor
Council, which is composed, like your
own organization, of the true skilled ar
tesians and laborers of the camp. Why,
we can show you several instances
