An Efficient Army

The modern army of China
vered before a distinguished lot of
European officers recently and the
exhibition is said to have been a de-
cided surprise to the war experts.
Thirty thousand men, finely drilled,
we'll armed and uniformed in Euro
pean garb, gave an exhibition of pro-
fiency at arms that amazed specta-
tors. 1t is stated that in building
up it's army China is picking its best
men, employing the best drill officers
and equpping the troops with the
best that money can buy. There is
deep significance in this. Japan is
undoubtedly behind the plan to form
a great standing army for the Chin
ese empire, but is discreetly keep
ing in the background and letting
Europeans have much of the credit
of bringing about the organization of
the troops.
1t is inevitable that this army
which Europeans are training will
some day be turned against their
own countries. China has a store of
just grievances that will be ample
justification for armed action when
1t concludes it is able to make the
despoilers of the empire pay for their
acts of aggression. 1t is not unlikely
that the first operations will be
against the concessions" which the
European powers forced Climate
make. AS the Mongols would be
fighting for their own soil, their vic
tory would be %retributive justice on
the princely robbers who preyed on
the empire in the hour of its ma
tional weakness.

An Attractive Exhibit

Commencing yesterday afternoon
a very fine display of stylish women's
hats and furs was placed on view
in the window of Richardson's store
on Main street. The millinery crea-
lions which are the height of the
fashion presented a most tempting
appearance, and very few of the
feminine sex had sufficient strength
to resist the beauties of the new
headgears SO ~attractively displayed.
AS a consequence this shop has been
a veritable beehive since Friday
afternoon and from present indica-
tions 1T will continue to be crowded
during the remainder of the sale,

THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION

The President issued a proclama-
ton naming Thursday, November 20,
as the day of Thanksgiving.
The text of the proclamation is as
follows:
"The time of the year has come
when, in accordance with the custom
of our fathers it becomes my duty
to set aside a special day of Thanks
giving and praise to the Almighty
because of the blessings we have re-
ceived, and of prayer that these
blessings may be continued. Yet an
other year of widespread well-being
has passed. Never in our history
or in the history of any other nation
has a people enjoyed more abound
ing material prosperity than is ours;
a prosperity so great that it should
aoruse in us no spirit of reckless
disregard of our responsibilities; but
rather a sober sense of our many
blessings, and a resolute purpose,
under Providence not to forfeit them
by any action of our own.
Must Build on Prosperity
Material well-being, indispens-
able though it is, can never be any
thing but the foundation of true
National greatness and happiness. II
we build nothing upon this founda-
ton then our National life will be
as meaningless and empty as a
house where only the foundation has
been had Upon our material we'll
being must be built a superstructure
Of the individual and National life.
lived in accordance with the laws OF
the highest morality, OF else our
prosperity itself will in the long run
turn out a curse instead of a bless
ing. We should be both %reverently
thankful for what we have received
and earnestly beat upon turning il
into a means of grace and not o.
destruction.
Accordingly, | hereby set apari
Thursday, the 29th day of Novem
Der, next, as the day of Thanksgiv
ing and duplication, upon which thu
people shall meet in their homes o.
churches, devoutly acknowledge al
that has been given them, and t

ceive the power to use these gift

NEVADA WILL LEAD IN MINERAL
PRODUCTION.

While all the mining camps of Ne
vada continue to improve in prospect,
yield and profit result, it should be
remembered that hardly an impress
sion has been made upon the ire
mendous mineral possibilities of the
State. The ground has hardly been
scratched in the present workings,
and there is a vast amount of terri
tory as yet unexplored which is
equally rich as any that is known.
From the very first. says the New
York Mining Topics, we have been
optimistic on Nevada and |forecasted
that from it would come more wealth
than from any other territory of
equal area the world over. Each
day proves the truth of this, and in
FIVE years it will lead in gold if not
in copper. Practically every hillock,
outcrop and mountain range is a
%storehouse of precious metals and
new camps and new strikes are get
ting to be the rule ana not the ex-
ception. And Nevada has won, and
despite the SCOTS of the astute ex.
2erts who passed it by and the
lethargy of capitalists who listened
with a cold ear to it's praises. Blu
today it's different and Nevada in.
stead of being last is rapidly becom
ing first in the estimation of thos,
who car grasp the opportunity ant
scent wealth.

JUSTICE WAS
 TOO MUCH FOR HOBO
Takes in Box Car Burglar Single Handed and Secures
 the Stolen Goods.

Last Saturday evening about o'clock by Pacific time, agent Morri- son, who is justice of the peace and s. P. agent at Fairbank, was notified by the Southwestern agent that bur glary had been committed on one oi his companys box cars, destined Tor Tombstone, and that he was short case of shoes, a case of lard, a case of butter. a case of cheese and case of eggs, most of which was consigned to F. W. Wilcox. Judge Morrison sent the constable to help locate the plum der and capture the burglar, but that officer was unsuccessful and the J. r. started out to see what he could do. In making the rounds of the town he found a man in the MonteZuma hotel lobby trying to sell butter and eggs. Morrison arrested the man, whose ap- pearance indicated the hobo rather than the ranchman. He was locked up in box car and some other migra- tory individuals who were picked up in the vicinity put in with him. Dur ing the night the guard overheard him telling his comrades where he had hid den the plunder and it was all found among the mesquite brush near the car from which it was taken. The prisoner, who gave his name as Ed Kelley, was held to await the action of the grand jury and now occupies quarters in the Tombstone jail.

Putting Friendship to
 The Test and Result

.NNCE there was man who want \ ed to test the friendship which
 another man professed to have for him.
 T will" he said to himself, pretend that I have been financially ruined. I'll put on old clothes and rumple my hair and go for two or three days without shaving, and then I'll hunt him up and tell him hard luck story and sec whether he Is worth having as n friend"
 He at once proceeded to put his plan into operation. He informed several people in confidence that he was in financial straits, and he ceased to look prosperous. After he had fixed every thing ir accordance with the plans which had been previously made he started out in search of his friend. But it happened that in the meantime the people who had been appraised of the financial reverses of the friendship tester had made wild rush to get their money out of enterprises in which he was interested. As a result the securities he held became worth less right away; nobody would give him credit; the banks called upon him for immediate settlement, and within a week he was ruined in spite of all that his friend could do for him.
 Moral-Never put friendship to the test as long as you can avoid doing so. Chicago Record Herald.
