STREET SCENE IN RENO
Lively Description Of Life in the
Riverside Metropolis as Given
by the Gazette

The Gazette gives the following
graphic description of street scenes
in Reno:
Naturally the young woman would
dislike to attain the notority that
would follow if her name were print
ed. But, even so, we believe she is
worthy of much praise and gratitude
both from her own sex and from
every decent man who respects
womanhood. We refer in the SEN
tences just written to the young
woman who forcibly landed her fist
on the jaw of a "masher who at
tempted to make advances to her and
her friends on a Reno street few
days ago.
Among the vilest creatures on
earth are those who stand on the
street ana either try to ingratiate
themselves with every woman who
passes by. or else makes suggestive or
ill-minded remarks after she passes
There are many men-and Reno is
by no means free from them-whC
make it difficult for a decent woman
to walk along the street. Although
they may not roll their eyes at her
there is an atmosphere about them
that makes a woman know that after
! she passes them she is made the sub
iect of black-hearted talk.
We have stood and watched these
men, and we have been ashamed tC
think that American chivalry is at sc
low an ebb that so many vile crea
lures can be found in the course O
a blocks walk. They are men tha
often make fit subjects Tor a moose
after they have given rein to theil
foul minds which reek with foGlet
desire.

A BRAVE NEWSPAPER
The Wiping out Of the !. w. w. a
Great Moral Victory for the
Tonopah Sun

Now that the Infamous gang of law
breakers and peace disturbers has
been wiped out public attention is
turned to the Tonopah Sun. This was
the fearless organ of decency that
fought this gang in the open when
they were regarded as a terror to the
community and when no other institu-
ton in that vicinity dared give them
battle.
For daring to Criticise the acts OF
this lawless outfit Branson the editor
of the Goldneld Sun was compelled to
sacrifice his business and leave town.
Now that his exposures of the real
character of the /. w. W. gang have
proven true there is great boom IOr

all very we'll for people to stand in
when Rranson is on top, but Where
We're these people when he was being
fought by these cowardly scallawags
in G0ldfield That was the time when
he needed friends.
They were kicking his newsboys
off the street and pitching their pap
ers into the gutter and no one dare
protest, but George Wingfeld and
"Diamondfield' Jack Davis, who
buckled on a couple of automatic six
shooters and ran the whelpS OF the
street.
The people Of the state owe great
deal to Branson the editor Of the sun
and Buell. his cartoOrist They stood
by their guns all through the fight.
1t should be borne in mind that Car
son City was the Grst to call public
meeting and denounce the course of
the labor dusturbers who were trying
to consign to oblivion the leading in1
dustry OF this state.
Carson was alone in this matter as
far as we are able TO learn and thd
rest of the state allowed the decent
and law abiding element of Goldfield
to fight its battles alone

YER|NGTON DISTRICT BOOMING

nothing unusual to hear a bargain
in the thousands transacted over a
piece of city property
The growth has extended up and
down the fiat that Yerington is stu
ated in. While on the West side OF
the river there is a rival town ready
to spring into existence. The exten-
sion of the Southern Pacific railroad
is surveyed up the river on the West
side and it is said that the depot will
be situated on that side of the river.
With this in view the new townsite
looks like a boom. The new town
lays claim to plenty of fall for sew
arage and water pressure, which is
going to keep the old town rustling
to compete with. This condition was
made a rivalry that Is interesting,
and it looks like two cities in the
copper belt
; YeringtOn was incorporated by law
at the late Legislature and early next
month board of councilman and a
mayor will be elected. A lively time
is promised when the election takes
place.
At the present time there is an un-
usual amount of sickness in Yering
ton owing to the poor drainage and
lack of quarantine Contagious dis
eases have been neglected AMI the
open sewerage Of the town does moi
look inviting to the outsider The
conditions at present are dangerous
to the health of all in the section
and the outsider remains only Ions
enough to transact business. The
first business of the newly elected
officers will be TO properly drain the
town and provide water service
Without this Yerington will have t
look keen if it wants to rival the cit.

There are no people in the world

a while comes back here and gathers

She lifted about $500 out of Vir

Rev McCreery OF this city has
pronounced her a fraud and helped il
exposing her some years ago. He
says she never gives any receipts foi

an endorsement from a society who

istence but for the fodder that comes

erage politician is constantly striving
TO dig up some method of throttling
the press, it is positively refreshing
to discover one public man who has
something like a correct appreciation
of its many virtues. Attorney General
Bonaparte is an exception to the gen.
eral rule as a politician. In an adj
dress recently delivered before the
Baltimore law school, he said:
I'VE all grumble about newspapers
sometimes, as we do about doctors
and dentists. and lawyers and plumb
ers, and house servants and the wealth
er, but these are all none the less nee
e~ssitieS of life as we now live. A
man who will not read the newspaper
nowadays yes as much as one would
who always kept his eyes shut. Doubt
less the latter would have saved him
self the sight of many things not
worth the seeing, and of some which
had better be unseen, but ne would
do this at the end of voluntary help
lessness and of consequent useless
ness.
THE press is an ally as / have just
said, a valuable ally to friends of good
government and pure politics in Am
erica when, and in so far as it par
AIDES falsehood to the public eye, or
drugs the public conscience with So
phistry or prejudice. In the great
work of your lives as citizens you will
be wise if you welcome and make
fruitful its help; but, if need be, you
must be no less ready to face its enmi-
ty. And, while this enmity is not to
be courted Dr. lightly provoked, yet,
when it comes unsought and upmerit-
ed, and brave man will neither shun
nor ear it.
A hostile press is a terrible scourge
for fakes and humbugs; publicity, of
all antidotes, is the most deadly to
fraud n false p~retenses; but a CT
tizen tenax propositi engaged in faith
full. if modest, service to the public,
a well afford to smile with the calm
contentment of a mind at rest when
assailed with calumny or a target for
systematic falsehood."
Reputable newspapers know no high
er duty than to honestly serve their
people. They give the current news
of a day without bias OF color, and
there is 40 disposition manifest to do
more than present absolute facts for
the consideration of the reader.
OF course, there are exceptions in
newspaper life, just as there are in all
other avocations. There are publica-
tons, which do not deserve to be class
ed as newspapers, which care nothing
for news that cannot be dished up
as a pronounced sensation Sufficient
color is always injected to bring out
every sensational feature that can
