NEvADA's GOLDEN AGE.
Revival of Industry in the Almost For
 gotten State.

Far off across the desert. to the arose. and when the gang of Greeks who were scattering the ties and spik- ing the rails which came over the end of the construction train saw 1t they stopped a moment in their work. talk ing and gesticulating excitedly. For days they had been pushing the two strips of steel out from Utah across the barren wastes of southern Ne yada toward the sunset sea. They knew that somewhere off there, to the south of Death Valley, a gang of Mex leans was pushing two other strips of steel across the Mohave desert to meet them, and when the column of smoke was sighted they knew it came from the engine behind the other construc ton train. For eighteen months they had been working toward it, and now, with redoubled energy. the work was pushed forward. And few days later, when Greek met Mexican, new trans continental railroad was complete.
 When. on January 30, 1905, the last spike was driven which completed the Salt Lake route, near what became the town of Good Springs, the shout that went up on the desert air and the locomotive whistles that blew called Nevada to awake from long sleep
 It was months before depots were built the track ballasted and a water supply secured. so that regular trains could be operateds but on every work train men poured into the desert. They went in box cars. coal cars, way cars-anything that would carry them. Armed with kits of tools and a few -fCfa 1ed yar.f 10 ert mountains and hills. The gold fever was raging. They were chasing the end of the rainbow. And the "chug" of the prospector's pick and the echo of the dynamite blast called Ne vada to awakeI
 In June. a train bearing a distin- guished party of United States sen- ators, representatives, governors and other state officials, journalists and irrigation experts, stopped at Reno, on the Southern Pacific, in western Ne- vada. A few miles out from the town, the United States government had been at work building a dam and dig ging a great ditch. The distinguished gentlemen made a few speeches to one another the dam was closed, senators and representatives laid hold of cranks that hoisted the head gates to a canal and as tho waters of the Truckee went dancing down the great ditch to mois- ten and make fertile three hundred and fifty thousand acres of Nevada soil the rushing flood called Nevada to awake!
 And Nevada is awakening. Within a little more than a twelve-month her population has doubled. Her mour- tains and hills from Reno to the Col orado river are covered with treasure seekers. Towns and cities have sprung up almost as magic. Railroads are pushing across her wastes, and irri- gation is enlarging her agriculture, making rich homes for thousands.- From the Review of Reviews.

are so we'll understood that the voters of Arizona may be assured that the statehood proposition will be given a very vigorous crack at the proper time and place.
 Though MT. Elinwood might per- haps justifiably have stepped over the line and needlessly urged work against jointure, Governor Kibbey, even in his capacity of chairman of the republican committee could not have done so. He would have been guilty of as great an impropriety as that committed by Governor Hagerman of New Mexico, who the other day included in his call for an election of delegates to the con- stitutional convention an argument in favor of joint statehood.

PROPERTIES OF TIME AND
 PLACE.

We trust our co-laborer against joint statehood, the Bisbee Review, was not intending to Inject partisan politics into the campaign against jointure when it printed the following:
 "Governor Kibbey never mentioned joint statehood in his call for the meeting of the republican territorial committee at Phoenix next month. We were surprised at this. as We do not understand why an ardent opponent of joint statehood like Governor Kibbey could omit a crack at this proposition in a communication to his party leaders"
 We might reply that Chairman Ellin- wood of the democratic territorial com mlttee, in his call also properly omitted a "crack at this proposition"
 There Is a time and place for every thing, but the place to outline policies and programs is not in calls to com mittees. In this case the sentiments of both chairmen and their committees and all the leading men of both parties

In time he made a cleansing soap Which chased the dirt away And he determined that the same Should bring him ample pay. He got it all fixed up at last. Except a catchy name To lead it on to glory and PerDetuate its fame. He knew that twenty-five per cake Was cheap enough but he, To make it hustle at the start. Just marked 1t 23. That was the signal for a name To whoop it up. and so He caught right on at once, and called His soap Skiddoolio.

WHERE THE LANGUAGE FIGURES

In the course of the discussion of the joint statehood matter, one of the ar guments put forth against jointure is the difference between the laws of New Mexico and Arizona. The answer to this has been that the difference would be eradicated at one session of the leg islature That is easier said than done, as The Eagle of Santa Fe points out.
 It mentions that in this territory the law does not permit persons who do not understand and speak the English language to sit on juries. While we have interpreters for witnesses. we have none for juries. Tn New Mexico a jury may be composed in part or wholly of persons who do not know the English language. and in either case there must be an interpreter.
 It would seem to be simple thing to require a speaking and understand ing familiarity with the English lan- guage to be a necessary qualification for a juror. But it would be by no means simple, and it would be, per haps, impossible. in view of the fact that it Is authorltatively stated that in ten of the twenty-five counties of New Mexico a jury of twelve English speaking citizens could not be counted upon. and that, as matter of fact, in some of the counties 1t would be inn possible to find twelve English-speak- ing men qualified to serve as jurors.
 To be able to make oneself under stood in a language. or to be able to get an inkling of what some one is saying in a language is not that knowl- edge of it which is required to under stand what a .witness is saying.
 Not long ago a man was hanged in a New Mexican county. He had been tried and convicted by a Spanish speaking jury. Most Of the evidence against him was offered by English speaking witnesses. It was claimed, whether truly or not, that this testi- mony took on quite another tinge in the process of filtration through an in terpreter.
 There could be no legal enactment for uniformity of laws requiring these New Mexican brethren tU immediately begin speaking and understanding English. The only way uniformity in this matter could be secured would be by the abandonment of our require ment of d knowledge of English as a qualification for a juror.

COLLAR. TO SAVE DOG FROM
 LEOPARDS.

"A leopard collar" he said. taking up a dog collar studded with sharp spikes three inches long.
 Fitting the collar on his dog he re- sumed:
 This piece of armor-for that is what it is-illustrates an oddity of the Himalayas-namely the fondness of the Himalayan leopard for dog flesh.
 Tn the Himalayas last year l found that all dogs wore these murderous looking spiked collars The explana- tion was that the Himalayan leopards conducted an uneeasing dog hunt, and that in attacking dog. they always fell upon his neck.
 "This collar, with its sharp spikes, is a great protection. It has saved many a dog from a hungry leopard. Often in the Himalayas dog comes trotting home safe and sound, though with smears of blood and yellow hair upon his collar spikes. St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The big building in which the lard

1s MONTHS SENTENCE !MPosED.
Dahlheimer, the Letter Writer, Goes to
States Prison.

Deadwood, S. D., Sept. Am the
United States court Edward Hobart
Dahlheimer, who had been found guilty
on the charge of sending improper mat
ter through the mails, was sentenced
to a term of one and q half years in
the ~penitentiary. ....
...sghe ,eonnterfeitinE cases ware put
over until the next term OF court, which
will convene at Sioux Falls on the third
Tuesday in October. These w men,
James Boyle and James Cahill, who
were indicted for passing counterfeit
money, had used money known as
Brunswick stuff. purchased from a
firm in Chicago which manufactures it.
1t is scarcely classified under the head
of counterfeit, but is imitation, decep-
tive at a first glance, but is a very
crude makeup. 1t is manufactured in
such a skillful way that often the
United States law in regard to coun-
terfeit money is not broken, but the
person accepting 1t is beguiled under
false pretense, a trivial offense, in COM
parison with counterfeiting. The notes

TWO DEATHS AT VERMiLLiON.
A. A. Woodworth and Adam Snyder
Pass Away.

Vermilllon, s. D., Sept. 13.-At his
DON in the Waldorf hotel in this city
occurred the death Sunday of Land
lord A. A. Woodwork. Although he
had been ailing for a couple Of weeks
or more it was not considered that he
was dangerously i'll. Death was sud-
den and came before the members of
the family could be summoned by the
nurse. Mr.. Woolworth had been a
prominent citizen of this city for many
years. For several years he was in
charge Of the Chandler house, but poor
health caused him to quit the hotel
business. He went to Centerville, and
for some time operated a hardware
store there. Finally he returned to
Vermillion and a few months ago
leased the Waldorf. A wife and three
boys, Clifford, Halle and Bristol, sur
yive lin.
In the death of Adam Snyder the
community loses another good citizen.
Mr.. Snyder has been quite poorly for
months, suffering from stomach trou-
bic for which there seemed to be no
relief. He was a pioneer hereabouts,
and had served the city on various oc-
casions as alderman or member Of the
school board. Besides the wife, two
sons, George and Fred, and a daughter,
Helen, are left to mourn the departure
Of the husband and father.

NEW COURT HOUSE FOR CLAY.
Voters of County Will Decide Question
at Next General Election.

Vermillion, S. O., Sept. 13.-At the
mex general election the voters of Clay
county will be given an opportunity to
say whether or not they want a new
court house erected in this city at a
cost of $50, 900. Petitions were pre-
sented to the county board asking that
they submit the question, and this they
decided to do. The plan is to raise
$4,000 by taxation, which will require
the levying of a 3-mill tax for two
years and a 2-mill tax for one year.
This amount, added TO the $40, 900 now
in the hands OF the treasurer, will erect
n court house that will be the pride
of the citizens of the city and county,
and will supplant a structure that has
for many years been an eyesore to the
community.

PRISON SENTENCE FOR
THREATENING WRITER
Man Who Mailed improper Missives &c
President Roosevelt and Others
Indicted by Grand Jury.

Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 12.--The grand
fury has returned ten indictments
which will be made public as soon as
the arrests have been made. AS was
expected, the jury made it's final report
Saturday morning, when the trlal OF
cases commenced. Nick Swanson, an
Indian from Rosebud agency, pleaded
guilty to having stolen a mare frorp
Elmer Huston. n Sam Mound, an In
dian, pleaded guilty to he charge OF
having introduced liquor upon the
Crow reservation. They We're sentenced
Saturday. A fatal mania for writing
improper letters has brought Edward
Hobart Dahlheimer, the dis
coverer of diamonds on the White riv-
er, before the United States cour n
will result in his being lodged for some
time at the expense of the government
This is not Dahlheimer's first offense,
as he has already served a term for
writing letters to Helen Gould. But not
even q penitentiary experience could
check his fluent pen. He came out Of
the p~enitentiary and was soon at it
again. Over 500 letters and postals to
such people as President Roosevelt,
George Gould, Governor Higgins, OF
New York, and others were mailed and
signed with his full name. He is par
ticular as to his correspondence list and
desires an exclusive circle. One of the
strange features of the case was that
though the letters were signed by the
mans rightful name, yet it was a long
time before the officials could lay hands
upon him. He is a o~ne-legged man, and
this description alone was sufficient td
bring misery to hundreds of one-legged
men throughout the country. Every
sheriff and police official In the north
west had a one-legged man under SUI
VIGILANCE whom he was positive was the
Deputy United States Marshal J.
A. Tracy, of Sioux City, finally landed
the man at an Iowa hotel. The identi,
fication was made by a comparison Of
the signature on the hotel registers
with that affixed to the letters.
Dahlheimer is a well educated and
even brilliant man n a geologiSt Of
no small repute. His standing was
such hat When he reported to the gov
ernor some years ago, that he had
discovered diamonds on the White riv-
er, the governor sent a commission
there to look into the matter. They
found no diamonds, but Dahlheimer
still clings to his original belief that
the precious stones abound along the
banks of that stream. He pleaded not
guilty, but the jury, after being out
an hour. decided that his plea was
wrong and hat he was Enthusiastically
guilty. He will be sentenced today.
Another unusua case is that of Rob-
ert E. Bale. of Hermosa, who has the
unhappy distinction of being the first
man to be brought before the court
on the charge of t~respassing on the
forest reserve, according to n law
passed last spring. 1t seems that he
has been grazing from twenty-five to
eighty head of cattle on the reserve,
and he is indicted on three counts. His
case will come up this week.
