Sheffield ingalls, is now catching it
from his political enemies in Atkinson
county, and there seems to be a strong
probability that he will be beaten by a
Democrat. At least that is what the
anti-Curtis faction claims. The friends
of Andy White, who was defeated by
ingalls, in the convention. say that In
gals is pledged to vote for Curtis for
United States senator.
This allegation Ingalls, denies in a
card in the Atchison Globe. A dele
gate by the name of A. w Thompson
is also getting into the game. Thomp-
son was supposed to be for White, but
he switched around and voted for IN
gals. The charge was made that
Thompson had received a telegram
from Curtis urging him to support IN
gals. This is what Thompson says in
his card, which was printed in the
Atchis0n Globe
Editor OF the Globe: In yester-
days issue of the Globe, the statement
was made that was pledged to sup
port A. J. White in the late county
convention for representative. I de-
sire to say that I was not pledged to
support Mr.. White, for whom, how
ever, I have the greatest respect, but
stated to him, and also to his man
Mr.. vii Casey, that I positively
would not support anyone for repre-
sentative who would not pledge him
self to support the Honorable Charles
Curtis for United States senator to
succeed J.. Ralph Burton. This MT.
White refused to do. The further
erroneous statement was made that I
showed Charley Ratterman and Ed
Donnelan a telegram from Mr.. Curtis
urging me to support Mr. Ingalls, for
representative. Neither of said state
ments is true and has no foundation
in fact. MY position in the coming
senatorial fight is we'll known. I am

Curtis. first. last and all the time. And

kilograms BY Mail

Yesterday there passed through Re-
no a fast train bearing five thousand
kilograms for San Francisco. They
accumulated in Chicago and the West
ern Union Company deemed that It
could give quicker service by send
ing them on fast train than trying
to send them BY wire They also
sent five thousand by the Santa Fee
A corps of men went along to sort
them and every effort will be made
to deliver them today in Oakland and
San Francisco.
If the Western Union would always
send dispatches by some reasonably
fast mail. train their service would be
much improved
The Western Union is certainly
waking up.
During the fire and earthquake the
postal was the only company that
managed to maintain their wire all

PLENTY OF FOOD

The cities and towns of the Pacific

plenty for all who need and none

was needed.
Yesterday Emmett Walsh, returned
from the stricken city. He gives a
graphic account of the earthquake and
the fire that followed In speaking of
the wants of the people he said:
''At the present time there is plenty
of food for all. Every park and open
place has a place where the hungry
are fed. If anyone is hungry it is
their own fault. The first few days
food was scarce. but at the present
tine there is an abundance and should

there is to be plenty of work for all
inside of ten days, or as soon as

When this is done the cry of want
will no longer exist and the new San
Franc'.co will start. In the mean
time he believes that the people
should hold their supplies pending a
time another call for aid may come.
Others who have returned from the
scene are of the same opinion, and
the people can await action of Gen
eral Funston who will make the wants
of the needy known

Yesterday a decisive action was
taken in regard to banking in this
State pending the arrangements OF
business in San Francisco and other
western cities that have felt the
weight of the distress that IS upon
them.
Acting Governor Allen after a con-
sultation with the bankers o; NE
State issued a proclamation suspend
ing this class of business for a week.
in order that the banks might be in
communication with their people in
San Francisco, and also to protect
the home people from any unnecces-
sary alarm. The action was taken
not because the banks of this state
are in any way weak but to prevent
unusual drafts being made on the
distressed depositors in San Francisco,
where a great deal of Nevada money
is tied up. The proclamation reads
as follows:
Whereas, a great calamity has be-
fallen our sister state of California,

of business throughout that state.

when passing the rig whipped uptheir
ponies, frightening the team. One Of

run, which they did. The occupants
seeing their danger in remaining seat
ed, leaped from the buggy. Mr.. Will

Mr.. Kidwell who was pretty well
bruised, caught the horses and tied

help and the injured man was con
veyed to the hospital where he now is.
