Next Wednesday will usher in
another new year, and while
things do not look as bright just
now as they might, we hope the
clouds on the financial horizon
will blow safely over and condi-
tons readjust themselves so as
to make the new year one of the
most prosperous in the history of
our country. There is no reason
why the new year should not be
a record one for prosperity in our
country, and it will be if the
money kings will only loosen
their strangle hold on the purse
strings of the nations wealth.

Christmas passed off rather
quiet in Cottonwood this year,
most people spending the day at
home. Appropriate services
were held at all of the churches,
which were we'll attended.
Santa Claus seems to have paid
his annual call at the various
homes and left as much as usual
and the Christmas dinners were
not any shorter because of fnan-
cial panic. Altogether, the day
was an average one and the little
folks enjoyed it as we'll as if it
had been the first of it's kind.

ROOSEVELT CONDEMNED.
Western Federation of Miners Sends
 Out Statement.

Denver, Col, December S.-The execu- tive board of the Western Federation of Miners tonight issued the following state- ment concerning the present controversy in Goldfield, Nev.
 "On December President Roosevelt is- sued proclamation ordering federal troops to go to Goldfield, New, ostensibly to protect life and property. That there was even any danger to personal property is emphatically denied by officers of Es- meralda county and by the merchants and citizens of Goldfield. The only reason for the present trouble was the decision of the mine operators to force upon the miners a scrip that would not be accepted at par by the railroad companies, the Wells Fargo Express company the stores or the boarding houses. Neither would the mine owners agree to redeem this scrip at any time in the future. We de- sire to call the attention of the American people to the disaster at Monongah, w. Va. where 300 coal miners were mur- dered by the capitalist system in Its greed for profits. Had President Roosevelt been as anxious to enforce the mining laws of West Virginia, had he considered as well the protection of the lives of those miners by demanding that the mine owners safe- guard their employees against unnecessary dangers as he is to send the regular army to crush an organization whose only aim is to better the conditions and make hap pier the lives of the working class, 800 blackened corpses would not today be laid upon the altar of greed at Mononga h, w. Va, around which weep widowed wives and orphaned children.
 We protest against this action of Pres ident Roosevelt, that he was animated by personal hatred against the Western Fed eration of Miners and it's officers. The moving of troops on a peaceable commun- ity must be regarded at least as hasty and i'll advised, and we call upon the working classes of the country to protest against this unwarranted and unprece- dented action of mimic warfare

HUNDRED RIFLES
 FOUND IN HIDING Arms Believed to Belong to
 Miners Are Seized ]. SHERIFF CANNOT BE FOUND Office of Sheriff Is in Hands of His Assstant-Mine Owners May Soon Start Up With Non-union
 Employees.
SHERIFF CANNOT BE FOUND

Goldfeld, December S.-Captain Seag Of the Consolidated Mines company and De- tective Harl said tonight that they had seized 100 rifles that had been hidden presumably by union miners within a short distance of Goldfeld. This is pre- sumed to be part of the cache of arms and ammunition which the miners are represented to have collected during the last few days.
 Captain William Cox the representative of Governor Sparks in Goldfeld, stated this evening that he had information from the Mine Owners association that an at tempt will be made during the week to reopen the mines here with non-union men. This information has been com municated to the governor and is in the hands of Colonel Alfred Reynolds, com manding the federal troops now en- camped in. this city.
 There are nine companies of troops here, the second detachment from Mon terey having gone into permanent camp on Combination Hill, within 300 yards of the mill of the Goldfield Consolidated con- pany. The first detachment, which came Atpiif ooio tehS'oNos iciioiilo III liC Cdillp established in the northwestern part of the town, a mile and a half from the nearest mine.
 Colonel Reynolds, commanding all of the troops here, is quartered in tent in the first camp and will remain there. He refuses to say whether he will detail sol diers to patrol the mines when the a.- tempt is made to reopen, but merely states that the troops are here to pre- serve order and that they are prepared to handle the situation
 Sheriff Ingalls, of Esmeralda county, in which Goldfeld is located, has gone away to some distant mines and the sheriff office is in the hands of Under Sheriff Bert Knight, who asserts that he is am- ply able to handle any crisis that may arise from the attempt to reopen the mines He has sworn in a dozen depu- ties. He characterizes the statement made by the mine owners that the union men are arming themselves and prepar- ing to make trouble as false and says that in his belief there will be no effort made to prevent the mine owners from working the mines with whatever meta they may employ.
 telegram which the sheriff sent to Governor Sparks protesting against the presence of federal troops in Goldfield remains unanswered.

Law and Order League Is Working
 Actively in Chicago.

Chicago. December S.-New tactics were en,nloved today by the Chicago Law and order ,earue in its attack on Sunday sa- Ioons Instead of collecting evidence mere ly, agents of the organization sought TOT violations of the law and then informed the policeman on the beat that the state law was violated and that 1t was his duty to arrest the alleged offenders. Refusal to act by the patrolman was followed by A w.. aing that the league would inst'- ute proceedings against him for neglect of duty.
 The leagues agents visited a number of saloons in the western and central parts of the city. but reported no viola tions of law except at one place. The saloons visited included those of Alder men John J. Brennan and Michael kenna.

Selection of Chicago Is Chilling to Ohisans Hopes

ALL CANDIDATES REJOICE
Indiana Man Is Said to Be Principal One Behind Scheme to Take Con. vention Away From Confident
 Kansas City.

Washington, December s.-(SpecialO- Chicago won the national republican con- vention from Kansas City hands down. The majority would have been greater ex- cept for the fact that the IS Kansas City committeeman considered themselves so tied up by pledges they had given that there was no chance for release. Only two of the southern committeeman voted for the Missouri city. Powell Clayton or Arkansas had promised to do so be- fore he knew there would be any contro- versy over the selection. Charles H. Scott of Alabama had only Thursday been given by the President a United States marshal and district attorney il his state. John G. Capers of South Carolina, John w. Yerkes of Kentucky, and Walter Brownlow of Tennessee all went over to the anti-Taft side, carrying the others with them. Judson Lyons of Georgia the only negro national commit teeman. was enthusiastic for Chicago Lyons had heard the negro was given no rights in Kansas City.
 It was an anti-Taft wallx-over. It is doubtful if there are six votes for Taft in the committee. Joe Healing, the big hooser, who is here looking out for the Fairbainks' interests. was one of the main engineers of the Kansas City col lapse. While not a member of the na- tional committee he was quick to take advantage of the premature hurrah the Taft men set up the first day of the meeting.
 The Fairbanks men are delighted so are those who stand sponsor for Secre- tary Cortelyou; the Knox men chirp in Il told you so," and the Cannon men are also jublant. One of the most in- tesesting developments of the meeting has been the outcropping of cortelyou sentiment MT. Cortelyous friends have been doing some very efsective work for | him. One hears nothing of a Cortelyou press bureau; there are no brass pano accompaniments. It is all done In quiet way and results seem to have been op- tained. if the feeling among the na- tional committeeman and the polticiahs brought with them is any criterion. The meeting of the national committed furnished nothing indicative of the next nossible nominee of the republican con vention. There is little change in the situation, as it existed before the meet ing. The third term talk one hears IS confined to the bourne class.

The Grand Duke-Bah! (Swears
softly on his way to the stables.)
But the princess had in her mind
a plan which, had it gone through
safely, would have added many gray
hairs to the dukes scanty collection.
1t was a mighty ingenious plan, too,
for a oma to figure out.
In his attitude toward the girl the
duke stood alone. Behind his back his
ministers wore out their shoes In wait
ing on the caprices of the girl, while
the grand duchess. half-blind and half
deaf, openly w%orshiped her willful but
wholly adorable niece, and abetted her
in all her escapades. So far as the
.populace vas concerned, she was the
daughter Of. the favorite son, dead
these IS years, and that was enough
for them. Whatever she did was right
and proper. But the hard-headed duke
had the power to say what should be
what, and he willed it that the Prin-
cess Hildegarde should marry his old
comrade in arms, the Prince of Dop-
pelkinn.
