which the new governor was con

Office, by Mrs. Davidson and the

Work of Union Anarchists.
In May, 1899, after the concentration
Of the Bunker Hill and Su144van Minins
company at Wardner was blown up by
dynamite by 1000 of the Couer d'Alene
miners, Governor Steunenberg de.
clared martial law in Shoshone county
and with the assistance of United
States troops conducted the county
government for nearly a year. The
Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mining COM
pany employed nOn-union men in it's
mines and for many months a bitter
contest was waged between the min
ers' union and the company, which Gull
minated in the blowing up Of the com
pany's concentration and the destruc-
ton Of property valued at 100000.
The miners seized an engine at Wal
lace and making up a train of 20 fiat
cars rode to Wardner, each of the 1000
men on board carrying a stick of dyna-
mite. When Wardner was reached the
men marched to the concentrator and
deposited the dynamite in the mill.
The dynamite was exploded and the
mill blown to atoms In a fight with
employees of the mill, three miners
were killed. United States troops
were sent into the district and General
Merriam was placed in command. He
put Gordon about the district and
WIN the troops at his command arrest
ed more than Loco men, took them to
Wardner and confined them in an in
closure known as the bull PEN
Steunenberg declared martial law In
the county, removed tne county Off
Gals and sent a representative to
Wardner to administer the county at
fairs. After long trial, the leaders OF
the insurrection were sent to prison.

and without interrupting her song,
stamped out the last spark of the fire.
When the act ended the audience

StanderWick=W Weeks

Last Thursdays Reno Journal
contains the following account OF
the marriage OF one OF Eiko
county's most beautiful and ac-
complished young ladies:
A happy wedding was solemniz-
ed yesterday evening at the Trinity
Episcopal church when H. NJ.
Standerwick took as his wife, Miss
Sadie Weeks.
The bride is the daughter Of L.
s. Weeks of Wells, one of the best
known citizens OF Nevada. The
bridegroom is the son of Mrs. ".
II. Hood, and is a prominent and
successful newspaper man of this
city. The couple we're attended by
Miss Ethel Marzen, bridesmaid
and Phil Parker best man. A
large number of friends witnessed
the impressive ceremonies which
were read by Rev. Samuel Uns-
worth. Then the party were serv-
ed an elaborate wedding supper at
the home Of DIR. W. II. Hood.
The romance which ended SO
happily yesterday had lis begin
ming on the campus of the Uniyer-
sity, where as students the two met.
Standerwick was prominent in col
lege athletics and a member of
the Sigma Alpha: Miss Weeks was
popular, accomplished and charm
ing. She was a member Of the
Delta Rho sorority.
The friendship thus begun con-
tinued after university days were
over and eliminated yesterday in
the union of the two young people.
Few newly welded couples start
out in life with a wider circle Of
friends and admirers, and few have
brighter prospects for a long,
happy aud prosperous married
life.
The Journal on which paper tie
Bridegroom has been a valuable
member Of the staff, in the past,
joins with the newspaper frater-
nifty of this state and the hundreds
of other friends in wishing the
couple long life and happiness.
The groom ia well and favorably
known to all the residents Of Bat
tie Mountain, having spent a num-
Der of years in our town with his
mother and ~stepfather DIR. and
Mrs. w. ii. Hood. Harry's many
frienos extends to himself and his
bride their heartiest congratula-
tons, and trust that the most ar
dent expectations of the happy
couple will be fully realized as
they journey together through life.

Origin OF ArriI fronI-

Very curious things may be discov.
cred by people who love to mouse
among old books. Here is q very free
translation from Il ParSec record not
accessible to many: 1T happened in Il
remote year, when the inhabitants OF
: land were engaged in sun worship
sarly on the lst day of April, that a
shining man stepped forth from the
earth, proclaiming The purifying uses
Of fire. He called ana counsclcd all
who had damaged household stuff, such
as broken kncading trouglls, tattcrad
curtains, coifccpots with holes in them,
lame furniture, worthless books and all
such things that might be considered
the dry refuse OF life. to make pyrc
on the plain outside OF the city and to
celebrate this burning the first day of
every April, after which the ashes
might be used To icrtilzc the ground.
SO the housclloldcrs began TO carry
forth. But their wives did seize on
each miserable article. Saying: DO not
so. Behold. let us hide il in the attic
seven years more. 1t may come handy
Then the angel or messenger was wro;!!
With humanity that would not purify
itself by i!rc. and he said, 'From this
day you shall call one another and Us
called Apri! FOOLS"

A JUST CLAIM.

The Newport News Shipbulling &
DyS Dock Company's first suit against
tha government seems to be one in
(which Uncle Sam will find trouble In
making defense. The contract for
the construction OF the cruiser
Charleston provided that the vessel
should be tested according to previous
custom, over Il staked course. Against
the protest Of the shipbuilding com
pany, the secretary of the navy re-
quired the trial to be by the now
Standardization method, and in order
to comply with the instructions of the
secretary the builders had to spend
more than $4,000 over tho estimated
cost of trial by the old method.
AS the yard was forced to violate
the contract, 1t appears to be only
fair that the government should bear
tbs expense resulting. The company,
as President circuit alleges in his bill,
had no desire to test the Charleston
by standardization and had nothing to
gain and all to lose In complying with
the demands of the secretary.
The company is proud of its record
as builder Of government ships and
has never before been PARTY to any
sort of trouble. The best vessels in
the navy have been turned out from
here and In each case, except this
one. the dealings between the yard
and naval officials have been pleas
ant.
We trust that justice will be done
by the Federal court and that this af-
fair will be disposed of without delay
and without causing anyone connect
ed with the navy department to hal.
