PIOCHE NEVADA. FRIDAY JUNE 1905
ARE SCARCE.

From the tone of certain letters
received in this office of late, it
looks as is a matrimonial boom
might not be out of place in this
city.
Carson seems to have almost
everything desirable to build up
a city except a choice assortment
of manageable young men.
Pure water, cool nights, equit-
able climate. good society, beauti-
full town, abundance of shade
trees and more than her share of
moonlight nights, but a scarcity
OF Young men.
The J sung ladies' in the hour
Of distress have turned to the
Appeal to start a matrimonial
boom.
One young lady intimated that
we should pay more attention to
this feature of the country's pro-
gress than writing up mining de-
velopments al thswhile.
Now there is certainly no bet
ter place on the. coast for a
matrimonial boom than Carson.
The town is over run with hand
some girls who are more than
ordinarily intelligent. They
have education, beauty, and
culture, and it would seem that
men who have come from the
East 10 make rpeir fortunes
should assist inHtne development
of the State by gathering in
Carson after they had made their
piles in the Southern mining
camps, and here marrying and
settling down in the garden spot
of Nevada where they can gather
theis growing families about
them and spend the sunset of
their days in peace and content
ment.
We believe that the time is
ripe-dead ripe for a matrimonial
boom in Carson, and we call up
on the State press to spread the
news in every direction that this
berg possesses advantages in the
line of prospective brides that is
shared by no other locality on
the Coast.
We invite inspection. Carson

Man Finds Out. Record of Bismarck
Soldier and Uses It.
j. P. Kenyon of Bismarck is having
a rather novel experience in secur-
ing pension. In 1880 he applied for
pension and failed through lack of
corroborative testimony. About a year
ago the pension agent at Washington
through whom he had done business.
sent him some papers to sign, the
same being inquiries as to why he
had ceased to draw his pension. Very
much surprised he replied he had not
been granted a pension. Further cor
respondence developed the fact that
a man. in Iowa claiming to be ]. p.
Kenyon had taken over Kenyon's ten
year army record, added his own sub.
sequent service in the army and in
1896 secured pension of $24 per
month. This he drew for some years
and then quit. The agent, in, running
over the records. discovered these
facts, with the result that Senator NC.
Cumber has taken the matter up with
the department (Which has sent
special agent to Iowa in search of the
other ]. P. Kenyon) and will make a
further effort to secure pension for
the Bismarck Kenyon. 1t certainly is
strange thing that another ]. p.

mans army record and through It

BATTLE OF cHINA'S RULER
Dowager Empress, Like Queen Eliza
beth, Fights with All Her Vim
Against Old Age.

That wonderful woman, the
dowager empress of China, has
been compared to Elizabeth. of
England and Catherine of Russia,
says the Boston Herald. Her
force of character has enabled her
to maintain her authority in all
the turmoil and intrigue and re-
celliOn that has beset China in re-
cent years. She has absorbing
yanity, in which she is like Queen
Elizabeth, and a German artist,
who has lately painted her por-
trait, has been describing the ex-
periences. The painter made a
portrait as true to life as could be,
but this was entirely unsatisfac-
tory to the royal patron. She is
over 20 years of age, but she
wanted a painting of a woman in
the full bloom of youth. The
painter had to depict her as Il
woman of %. This vanity, which
appears like weakness, has been
seen in many of the most powerful
women, and has much to do in
shaping their lives. Some of the
cruelest things these women have
done are traceable to it. Surround
ed by courtiers and sycophants,
they are fed on fiattery until they
cannot live without it. They de.
,eive no one, not even themselves,
but they never give up the battle
against old age. The dowager EN-.
press of China has many imitators
IN all stations of life, from palace
to poorhouse.

New Profession in Germany.

The Germans have extended
civil service principles to many of
fees which even in examination.
ridden America are still looked
upon as the legitimate spoils OF
political victors. In a great many
German cities, for instance, the
business of being a city council
man has become a recognized and
permanent profession. A man
who makes a good record as a So
Ton in a small city is in the course
of time advanced to the Office of
1urgomaster. If he does equally
we'll in that position it is not I'M
for him to be rewarded
with a place in the council of a
large city, such as Berlin, Leipzig
Or Cologne. Thus Germany has
developed a new professionalism
