Taft is Truly Worried.

There being nothing doing this year as to the
prospective Democratic candidates for the presidency
next year. it is prerogativs the part of vein
peace, to sit the high pinacles of the observation
and peer down MT the struggling brothers of the
other side
One faction of the Republican party in Ohio will
put best foot forward to-day and then the other to-
morrow, and the merry struggle goes on. 1t is not
so much on the part of Taft to getting the Ohio
endorsement 1t is to get it nice ard clean. The
end rsement does not much if acquired by
hard fight, for the other states will look favor
able upon it, using the home troubles as leverage
against the Ohio candidate, and in favor of one of
their states where absolute and unqualified
party peace reigns. Such is the trouble that con.
fronts Taft
However, Secretary Taft must have the Ohio en-
dorsement of course, whether it is bad one or not
He needs it in his business, but secure the slip
perry thing in the best form is the problem Several
times they seemingly had it corraled but when they
stopped grasp the elusive thing clipped between
their feet and gone. Taft is willing to take it,
even if Foraker should be endorsed as a senatorial
candidate, but Foraker now says he is a candidate
for president
And, further if the matter lays over until next

Plain, Blunt Talk.

If our readers have not read Senator Foraker's
reply to Chairman Brown (Republican) which ap-
peared last week in the daiies, we reproduce it for
your looking Sometimes the good in man
comes out when he is hunted down by bunch of
wolves and he fights back in language and thought
that is the best within him. We do enjoy reading a
mans best literary effort when he is being pressed,
Senator Foraker said follows:
"The state officers have right to their prefer
ences, and declare them when they like but such
declarations do dispense with the necessity for
convention, nor change my opinion that the voters
should be given chance to be heard before a final
action has been taken.
''If the republicans of Ohio are all or 'overwhelm-

tary Taft, his friends need not either fear the pr

The Weather Man.

Thus far, with almost Christian
| fortitude, we have refrained from
expressing our real opinion of the
Weather Man in the tower of the
Hayden building. For this there
were two reasons. We had nc
wish to speak inconsiderately OF
that irritating and disappointing,
but perhaps necessary human fac
tor in modern life and its activi-
ties-and we did not desire to APP
pear as being of querulous or
captious disposition. With that
bright and sunny optimism so
characteristic of the gentlemen of
the press, we have been hoping
for better things, trusting the
w Gather Man would see the error
of his ways and change the nature
of his output.
This confidence seems to have
been misplaced. The Weather
Man has shown no appreciation of
the responsibilities of his job, no
disposition whatever to carry ont
his promises. He has taxed us
without representation by over
working our winter fiannels and
ulster, the while lovely spring
outfit was falling into disuse. He
has refused to assent to meteoro-
logical conditions the most whole
some and necessary for the public
good. He has called together
storms at places unusual and un-
and distant from the
depositary of umbrellas. He has
plunged us into colds and grip |
repeatedly, for refusing to be bur-
dened with heavy wraps and thus

The Republican nominees for president and vice

arrangement by backing his fellow townsman for the
nomination. It's cold day when "Coxey old boy

Canton, May 26 Mrs. William
Mckinley died at 1 O5 O'Clock this

life to death was so peaceful and
gradual that it was with difficulty
that the yigilaht physicians and
attendants noted when dissolution
came.
There was no struggle-no pain.

her life, nor of the solicitlous hope
against hope Of her sister and

recovery.

death came, there were present

Life of Mrs. Mckinley.

When there is the presence of death, then comes
pressing in upon us vvidly than ever the life
of the deceased. When learn of the going out of
the soul Of an individual then it is that we review
the life of the passing out. In the death of Mrs
William Mckinley, the first thought comes of her
sweet, loving gentle life. She was in her girlhood

the entire community. She married a lawyer VIM

Lcye and happiness attended them always Later
as her husband became prominent in affairs they
never forgot the genuine good old fashioned love and
affections. Mrs, Mckinley in early life became an
invalid, and her husband all the more was her con.
stant deyotee. Their home life was as the humblest
man and wife, who love each other most dearly
Finally there came that cruel day that separated
them, leaving this gentle flower to live alone Not
moment did she falter in her trust in God The
cruel slietion that befel her, borne as her dis

MUCH NEEDED COM.
PETITION.

The announcement of Mr.. Clar-
,euce Mackav that the Postal Tele-
graph Co. will string its wires
throughout Nevada, is welcome
news to long suffering public.
The Western Union, which has
had monopoly in this State for
the last forty years. has evidently
come to think that it owned the
State. The service from this com
pany for the past few years has
been abominable and the charges
have been extortionate. Notwith-
standing the fact that the Western
Union business has increased sew
eral hundred fold in Nevada in
the past few years, the company
is reported as paying such small
wages that it cannot secure com
petent men to handle its business,
and the public has to put up with

the plumbers and discourtesies of
these incompetents.
The advent OF the Postal Tele-
graph will give the people of Ne
vada another means of communi-
cation, and it is possible that when
it is in operation messages will
reach their destination some time
before letter does. sent to ex-
plain that telegram is on the
way. And then. again, compe-
tition between the companies will
give the people fair rates. More
than likely Mackay cannot get the
State covered with his wires too
soon to suit everybody except the
Western Union people.

KILLED BY A TRAIN

An unknown man was run over and
killed by passenger train on the Ne
vada & California road the other side of
Churchill last Sunday. The remains of
the man were fearfully mutilated. Judge
Davis, of Dayton, held an inquest on the
remains Monday and it was found that
the death was accidental. The man had
evidently been riding on the brakes or
rod under a coach from Hazen, and
fallen off. The trainmen saw him at
Hazen, but did not know he was on
the train when the accident occurred.
Nobody seems to know what the man S
name was, where he came from or where
he was going.

THE GRUB STAKE LAW

Two bills were introduced in the last
Legislature which relate to grub stake
agreements, and provide that all of these
agreements should be recorded in the
Office of the county in which the pros
pecting was to be done; the bill stipu-
lating that such county, or certain fixed
boundaries for this prospecting. should
be named in the grub stake contract. 1t
also provided that the duration of the
contract, the consideration and some other
details, should be specially mentioned.
This measure was at once recognized by
the legislators as one we'll calculated to
prevent the many Misunderstanding
and controversies that have arisen from
grub stake agreements in this State, and
it was passed by both houses with few
dissenting votes. The bill has been
signed by the Governor and will take
effect as State law on June l..

have all mining companies of this
district place their card in this d.

40 companies now doing business

The Election.

1t has been decided that electors
can vote only for councilmen in
their own wards at the coming city
election, next Tuesday. That is
to say all voters who reside on the
west side of Main street have the
privilege of voting for two coun-
cilmen selected from that ward,
while those who live on the east
side of Main street vote for two
councilmen from their ward.
Every elector has the right to vote
for Mayor and City Clerk. Special
ballots will be prepared for the
voters and the general election
laws will be in force during cleo
ton day. If you are, resident
of the east side. or second ward,
do not vote for candidates for
councilmen in the first ward or
you will invalidate your ballot
Voters of the first ward should not
vote for any councilman in the
second ward. There will probably
be between 90 and 100 votes cast
and they are about evenly divided
between the two wards. The first
ward has three candidates for
councilmen out of which number
two are to be elected. The second
ward has FIVE candidates out of
which two are to be elected. Only
electors who reside within the
boundary of the city and were
registered III this precinct at the
last general election will be al
lowed to vote, according to the
special Act for incorporation. The
polling place in the first ward will
be in the Owl Hall and in the
second ward at L.ittell & David
sons store.
The position of councilman for
the first two years will be no easy
one to fill. There are many
changes that are necessary to make
city of Yerington, and it will
take men of stamina to bring
things into shape. Many people
will 6nd fault with the proposed
improvements, but they must be
made. and men who have strings
on them will accomplish but little.
The time is at hand when Yering-
ton can he made the finest little
city in this part of the State, or by
the election of those who think
things are good enough now, the
place can be killed deader than
mackerel. This situation should
be taken into consideration BY the
voters. 1t depends upon them
whether or not the town property
doubles in value BY the one act of
electing a live Board of Council
men, or depreciates to no value by
the election of those who think
present conditions are good
enough.
You have the matter in your
own hands, Messrs. Voters.
