While temporarily insane Monday
night, Mrs. Is. F. Oakley, wife OF a rail-
road man Of Tonopah, crswled from her
bed IN the Roosevelt hospital, Reno,
and hanged herself in a linen closet with
an electric light cord. The cord was
not long enough to hang herself while
standing and when found che was on
er xues with the electric light globe
by the side OF her head. She has been
rery melancholy for several weeks and
in the past two months has not only
attempted to take her own life on five
different occasions, but has tined to
kill her little daughter and her hus-
band, who carries an ugly wound across
his throat where she stabbed him while
asleep in his home at Toropsh.
Mrs. Oakley had been i'll the hospital
about four weeks. When she retired
Monday night, she seemed to be il
better spirits han usual aud went &c
bed with her little daughter who is Ill
with tonsiities. She had been dead
several hours when found.

To Prevent Steal A, P,r,nId.

Now that the Information has been
given out FROM the suryeYor-general's
Office TINT the Pyramid Lake Indian
reservation ia soon to DO thrown open,
prospectore, mining men and fortune
seekers all over the State are beginning
to -sit up and take notice and discuss
the opening with much enthusiasm.
They lear that the plans Of the opening
Of the Walker Lake Indian reservation
may be followed in the opening OF the

they object to such plane. They claim
that one Walker Lake opening is enough
and tia: one big steal OF mineral lands
in Nevada Is sufficient. This time they

tons call upon Secretary OF the Interior

field to arrange the opening OF the
Pyramid Lake reservation SO that the
sOoners may not enter the promised
land before the big rush and secure the
choice and OF the reservation.
With this idea in view the Nevada
Commercial League OF Reno will take
up the opening OF the Pyramid Lake To-
dian reservation up and will undoubted-
~ appoint a committee to investigate
the opening and call upon Secretary
Garfield when he pays his visit 10 Ne

Reno Is ut the very gate OF the great
reservation, which promges to be even
richer than the Walker Lake reserva.
tiop, and Tor this reason the members
OF the Nevada Commercial League be-
licve that the ming men and pros

tectej.

B%ONAPARTE'S SURPRISE.

On June =, Mr.. Bonaparte, head Of the
department. Of justice, under the prod
ding Of incHive articles ID the New
York World and other newspapers that
ne wss slow and behiud the times as a
trust buster, said:
-In some cases where continuous
violations OF the law involve a large
number OF ilegal acts, each one Of them
criminal, the totI fines which eau be
imposed have proved a Sufficient de-
terrent. But in other cases it is the
opinion Of most prosecuting officers
that the Law can be much more clearly
and effectively enforced through the
imprisonment Of individual defendants"
That indicated that the attorney-geu-
eral intended to try his hand at putting
some OF the bad trust and corporation
~magnates, including such 6n undesIr
able citizen as Mr.. Hartman behind
the bars il he could convince a jury he
as black as painted by President
Roosevelt and others.
But on June s President Roose welt,
the Cabinet coucurring, took the wind
out OF atnorDey-general's sails by de-
ciding mat Mr.. Hartman, although
branded rs a law breaker and q most
undesirable citizen, could not be pro-
ceeded against criminally. THIS decision
Of all the principal leaders OF the re-
publican party was evidently a tub
thrown to the Wall Street whale where
the stock market was d~isorganized and
needed a tonic to prevent disaster.
The trouble with Attorney-Geueral-
Bonaparte was-he is now undeceived
that he, like Others, had taken Presi.
dent Roosevelt seriously as ready to 60
to extremes TO curb the trust magnatcs
and control the railroad man ayers. He
had evidently overlooked the TACT that
President Roosevelt III his correspOn
dence with Mr.. Hartman had declared
that you and | are practical men, while
%Bonaparte evidently thought the presi
dent was an iconociast and ready II
smash things right and left. Practica
politicians don't work that way, at hear
they are as much mollycoddies rs the
veriest molly coddle 81 them all.

THE GOVERNORS MANSION
MIX-UP.

All OF Carson City ia a tumoii OF in
digant tumult, over the delay OF the
State Board OF Capital Commissioners
in accepting plans and authorizing the
erection of a Governors mansion, pur-
sunni to an act pissed at the last legis.
lature, approriatnR { 1900 for such
purpose.
Attorney Plalt has scored the State
Board and insists that the legislature
passed the act aid directed the Com
~missiODers to eIpend the money.
Doubtless this is true but the Com.
missioners have the right as sworn
officers and it is their duty to carefully
guard the expenditure OF this appropria-
tioD, opinions to the contrary notwith-
standing.
II in the opinion Of the State Board,
The plan submitted, would cost more
than the amount appropriated, for con.
structiou, the Boari has uv authority to
create Il deficiency.
IL labor and material should absorb
the entire appropriation in the erection
Of a building which would be q com par
atiyely cheap affair, and could not be
dignitied by the title OF Governors
mansion then the State Board has acted
advisedly in declining to e1pepd the
appropriation.
II the object in the construction OF
the Governors mansion Is simply ia
distribute the $4,000 appropriation in
and about the Capitol City without the
State receiving value for the amount,
the State Board has done right i'll turn.
ing the matter down.
II the trainers OF the law and its ad.
vocates yer not foresighted enough to
provide, for the proper carrying ont OF
the law without additional cost TO the
State, the Board cannot be held respon-
sible for such errors.
II Il laS passed by the legislature is
i'm practicable and inconsistent in it's
provisions, it Is not the proper
thing to condem the delay Of a State
Board, III carrying it out.
While the Carsonites may be griey.
ously offended at what they deem a
serious della. and neglect on the part OF
the State officers it is more than prob.
able that the taxpayers in other quart.
ers Of the State, will approve the con.
sentative position assumed BY the State
Board OF Capitol Commissioners.
There is 10 objection to Carson enjoy
ing every possible benefit accruing from
the residence Of State officials, the legis
latiTe sessions and all other public mat
ters, but tho taxpayers generally
throughout the State are interested in
the expenditure Of a public fund and
the State Board is responsible 10 the
