The story came to this paper from al
apparently reliable source too late n
the afternoon to admit of anything like
State was assuretd that the story wa )
straight. and in haste of getting to
press due weight was not given to tn
matter.
One thing is certain. that if the editor
of the Silver State had been able to learn
the names of the conductor and brake
man of No.4 the story would nevSr have
been printed. These two men are both OF
exemplary habits, and nsither has ever
had the whisper of neglected duty again

ed of having been undr the Influence Of
liquor. either on or off duty.
Certain enemies of the Silver State
have done everything in their power TO
convey the impression thai the artic e
was printed malicously. Nothing could be
furthur from the truth. The Silver State
desires to print the news, but never seeks
to do any man an injustice. Moreover,
in the case of unwilling injustice beir &
done, as in lne one at issue, The Silv r
State will not be found wanting in MAX
ing the fullest PREPARATION in its power for
the damage done.
Therefore this paper wishes to sta e
that it regrets most sincerely the plb-
LEGATION of the article of Saturday, and
hopes that the men wronged will be fu'-
ly vindjcated by this retraction.

DEMOCRATS SEEK A LEADER

A drift of the Cleveland Democracy to-
ward William J. Bryan is showing itself
in diff rent parts of the country. AS
compared with William r. Hearst, Mr..
Bryan is believed to be a conservative.
He is also believed to be the only nan
who would nave a chance of defeating
of two years hence. A prominent New
York Cleveland Democrat is reported as
predicting that II the Democratic or gan
ization can be kept out of Hearst's hands
until 1913. New York state will send a
Bryan delegation to the national conven-
Mr.. Hearst I'm the nltiona convent on
tion.
This would be a supris' ng change In
sentiment in the Democratic party. but
there are seasons fer assuming that Ii
is impending. Hearst is becoming al
most as much of a terror to the old-fash-
Toned Clevelandites as Robesp ire was
TO the French conservatives a century
ago. He is radical beyond any of the sup
porters Of Bryan's platform OF ten years
ago, which sent hundreds Of thousands
of Democrats out of their party for the
tiiuc, DScoIle commonplace IN ID ltfcaI
discussion. Free silver has Deen aho ish-
ed by Republican victories and by e.
publican statues, but the rest of the wild
features of the platform of 1896 are still
avail able for exploitation. ana some Of
them seem less dangerous t,4an they look
ed then.
II is said that Belmont, Ryan, DeLan
cey Nicon.. German AM others of the
o.d-time conservatives are to get up a
reception for Bryan when he lands in
New Yorfs at the end of his tour round
the word Such an affair, which would
have been income sivable a few years ago.
IL part OF ne natural course OF events
now. Nobody seems TO be surprised at
the report of the rumor approaching
rally of the conservatives on Bryan. The
appearance of Cleveland as one of the
speakers at the Bryan RECEPTION Is not at
a.. improbable. Confronte w.,h this
portent Of Hearst all the moderates and
the quasi-radicals are forced into the
same camp. Not hat Cleveland and his
faction hate Bryan less but Hearst more.
Democratic politics has made some light
ming changes In the past half century.

First of these is the fact that there are
numerous conditions about Winnemucca

many other matters equally urgent could

The road leading from Loyelock to

the county commissioners kindly exp ain
why the Southern Pacific Company is

Is it because the people rave no rights
when the Southern Pacific Company is
concerned. Of is the Southern Pacific

The county commissioners are the ones
who should guard the rights Of the peo-
pie in this matter. and the people expect
them to do so.
They should either Sc to it tina the
fence is built on the track side of the
highway or else force the company to
build a new road.
Then there is the matter of the county

AS has been published, our beautiful
new store III the History Building in San

disaster, was reduced to ashes. Our whole

Grand Opera House and the Palace Hotel
speedily devoured them, leaving no vestige

which was by many odds the finest, and
many times the largest of a3y in the smitten
city
Fortunately our business associates and
every employee of the concern are safe,
though a number of them were rendered
homeless, losing their all in the devastation.
A large number of carload shipments,
principally the most costly styles OF pianos
were en- route for the new retail store. lust
as soon as telegraphic communication was

A severer trial awaited him on
the night of the performance Of

opera. 1t was torture for him to
watch his successful competitor as
Lucas, the shepherds boy, go
through the pantomime maneuvers
to capture the queen of butterflies,
the movements of which part Mid.
get invested a blending OF grace
and agility.
At the point where the shepherd
boys endeavors meet their fruition
and when he clasps the tiny queen
In his arms, the boy, maddened at
the sight, rushed from the theater
and beyond the sound of the ap
plauding audience, to give vent to
his rage of jealousy in dreadful, but
impossible, threatenings.
Ten years had slipped by since
the night of lies Papillons." The
opera house Is crowded to its ut
most capacity. AS the curtain rises
a hush of expectancy prevades the
audience.
There silence shortly gives way
to the melodious numbers of the
youthful cantatrice and as her
voice swells forth in the more diff
ficult ranges of the opera, testing
its quality to the full extent, the
applause at first so cautiously Civ
en-, breaks into wild enthusiasm,
until as the final is finisher it be-
comes an ovation.

unmistakable German lineaments,
courageous blue eyes, and full

emergency appliance both as to
fender and brake. If a man falls
in front of car he is scooped up
and carried without harm until the
car stops. The fender will pick up
mans hat and yet is so strongly
constructed that heavily loaded
truck might run over it without
damage to the appliance.
The brake proper consists of a
series of Hanged steel track shoes
which, when applied, fall to the
rail and the forward wheel of each
set of trucks instantly rides the
brake in such a manner that the
wheel is above and free from the
track and a greater portion of the
weight of the heavy motor and the
car above it is thrown upon the
track shoe, thus creating a friction
which must stop the car within
few inches, or feet, according to
momentum.
The device has been submitted
to experts appointed by Henry
Huntington, who say the only dan
ger which could arise is that the
stoppage of the car might be too
sudden for the comfort of the pas
sengers, but that for an emergency
it would be perfect.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 81. - I'm
pressed by the appalling loss of
life which has recently resulted
from defective brakes, VIM. Gard
ner, a Los Angeles carpenter, has
invented a safety brake.
Mr.. Gardner has devoted all of
his spare time for a considerable
period to devising a preventative
of accidents. AS result he has
succeeded in fashioning a brake
which will stop a car in three feet
and which experts who have exam
ined it say will render most car
accidents mechanically impossible.
1t is called a fender-brake and
combines the features of both. The
inventor claims that it will stop
any kind of car to which it is at
tached regardless of grade or veloc-
ity.
The wreck of a West Second
street car last Christmas eve, when
IS persons were injured and the nu-
merous other catastrophes which
have occurred in Los Angeles and
other cities, makes the invention
of especial interest at present.
II is not intended to displace air
or hand brakes but is simply an
