Helpsomehow Meeting.


The Helpsomehow society had the BAN
ner meeting of its history last evening.
Members and guests to the number of
thirty-one met in the Baptist church par
for and spent most enjoyable time. The
society was entertained by Misses NJ. A.
Hodgkins and E. w. Pomeroy; they did it
ssbrown", and in few other colors also.
The most attractive feature in the parlor
was prettily decorated comfortable IN
color scheme OF violet and white, Sug-
gested by the nearness Of Easter, on
which were arranged the prizes 10 De
awarded to the winners in the contests,
and the little stockings and donkey ills
that were used. Easter fayors in chickens
and eggs added effective touches to the
decorations, and the whole was lighted by
brass candelabra. 1t may be said in pass--
ing that the chickens and the eggs were
in no wise related.
A good time was spent at games, linen,
din, block, parcheesi and crokinole beng
PLAYED. The stocking contest followed
and furnished half-hour OF merriment.
The prize, generous stocking filled with
something sweet, was won by Mrs. EVerard
Moore, guest of the evening. The prize
for the donkey contest went to Miss Ethel
Bonsey, who located the exact spot where
the caudal appendage belonged. MISS
Bonsey also proved the champion in the
rebus contest, and added one more treas
ure to her art collection.
The refreshments developed" finely
(photographically speaking) and disap-
peared in the same ratio They were put
together with good judgment, put out
with good taste, and put down with keen
appreciation. After the business meeting,
the Easter favors We're distributed, bring
ing to close very successful gathering,
and scoring one more good time for the
Helpsomehow.

of tho great smelling ccntcrs OF the
country.
The Western Pacific railroad con-
strmction has used the winter to get
across the desert, which would be
troublesome Job in summer; the track
is nearly over it now, and before the
warm weather comes it VIII he entirely
over. When the connection is. made
with the Nevada Northern, this new
line will give MS a reasonably short
and direct connection with tho great
Ely mining camp. much to the advan-
tage Of this city, as well as of the
people there.
The State has much benefited by the
abundant precipitation of this winter,
and enters upon the agricultural sea
son with ample assurance of plentiful
water for all purposes, with ranges in
excellent condition and better feed
for stock than has becu known for
many years.
In thc country at large the scnsa-
tional event of the week has been The
raid upon the Hartman roads, the
hammcring down Of their stocks, and
the rumored deposition of Mr.. Harri-
man from control This, it is stated,
will have no effect upon the improve
ments planned for this city by the
Hartman administration: the million
and Il half necessary TO build the great
depot and TO lay ont and equip the
yards, is specifically set aside for that
purpose; and so is the three and n half
million dollars needed to renovate the
light and street car systems hero. Both
of these improvements are said on the
highest authority 10 be specifically
provided for. And Hartman cmphati-
cally denies that he has been ousted.
The raid on the stocks. however, has
caused considerable shrinlSage in values
of mining shares; many were caught
short and sold in order To protect other
interests. In some cases the losses
were severe, but no one was crippled.
Our local markets are recovering; the
Chicago market was not materially af-
fected by the New York furry. The
great commercial. trade, industrial and
business operations of the country
were not IN any way interrupted by
the New York furry, which, in fact,
appears TO have been manufactured
for "A deliberate purpose and to have
subsidized Immediately, The business,
industrial and financial strength of the
country stand too firmly to be in the
least Jostled by Wall street plot.

situation fraught with dangers. The
revelations by Mr.. Hartman of the
Chicago & Alton deal have led law
makers to say that not only was
rate bill justified. but that legislation
many times as drastic would he the
result at the earliest possible moment,
and Mr., Hartman rctorts in financial
circles that a cessation of railway build
ing and equipment (mcaning thereby
Il termination to the present era of
prosperity may be good thing for
stockholders in the long run. And
over in Il Nevada camp one certain
labor union has become so intolcrant
that, unless men who belong TO other
labor unions which are quite competent
and satisfactory i'm their character,
shall Join the particular one which dom
mates they shall neither work nor cat
nor sleep. Homicide has been com
mittcd in the intensity of the struggle.
And property owners have rctalIated
with the declaration that the effective
romcdy is to close down the mines and
the business of The camp.
As stated, we do not believe that
a general panic will come. But the
time 10 learn the lesson is now be-
fore the evil consequences shall have
made the lesson vaueless in this i'm.
mediate epoch. If prosperity can pro
duce nothing but panic as an inevitable
consequence. we arc indeed an unfor-
tunate and ignorant race. If such is
the sure and certain progress of the
cyclical movement. men should pray for
panic; for following panic comes, In
course Of time, prosperity.
Human beings are too well informed
in these days, the law is too alert IN
these days, the sense Of justice is too
quick IN these days, TO permit aggres-
sion by one special interest to proceed
without check; and when the check
comes the very momentum of reform
carries it beyond strict line of JUS
tice, Therefore the safety of special
interests lies in the conservatism OF
those special interests. The moment
either finance or labor becomes too ag-
grcssivc in its tyranny, public re-
sentiment will cnsue which threatens de-
structlon.
Fortunate it, will he for the United
States if we can avert at this time
the threatened overthrow of the era
of prosperity; but more fortunate still
will it be for this country it, in pre-
venting such calamity, we shall have
learned the lesson Of temperate use Of
the power acquired by the special lu-
terests Of the country.
