for the ball game Sunday at Blair be-
tween the Eagles-Elks and a picked
nine from the Pittsburg Silver Peak

by Mr.. J.. Grant Crumley of the Ne

ladies and gentlemen of Blair would
each and everyone constitute them
selves a committee to show the WISH
tors a good time. The Tonopah brass
band and the Eagles drum corps will
be in attendance. Mr.. Crumley was
in consultation yesterday with the Of
ficials of the Tonopah and Goldfield
railway and has perfected arrange
ments for a special to go to Blair.
The hotel accommodations are the
finest in the west. The saline baths
and the other attractions should draw
a big crowd from Tonopah. The fare
has been placed at the low figure OF
50 for the round trip and the privi-

THE A NJ AT MILLERs.

A large crowd went down to Mil
lers Sunday to witness the game be-
tween the Eagles-Elks and the Mil
lers teams. The game was a victory
for Millers, although the local boys
made a determined effort to win the
game. 1t is believed that the Millers
team is the fastest aggregation in the
state and their team work is down
perfect. There were three home
runs made during the game by
Brown, Herd and Van. Throughout
the game a number of sensational
plays were made that brought the
spectators to their feet. Campbei:.
the Eagles catcher, was hit by a ball
in the fourth inning and severely
hurt. but kept playing until the
seventh, when he vas replaced by

in Nevada. He is of the opinion that
Nevada will be the center Of attrac-

accounts of renewed activity and life.
From information he received he SAYS
that Manhattan is more than making

from there and Round Mountain are
the cause of much talk.

The question to be debated
is one that has been agitating
the whole country for the past
few years, and is likely to be
one of the main issues during
the coming presidential cam
paign. 1t is, without doubt,
one of the most important
questions awaiting settlement
at the hands of the American
people to-day. 1t has been
studied from all sides during
the last two months by the
six speakers, and it is safe to
say that what they have found
out will be worth listening to.
The subject is
Resolved, that such corpora
tiOns as telephone, telegraph
and express companies and
railways, except street rail
ways, be created and controlled
by the federal government.
The debate will begin at s: 80
sharp. Good music will be
rendered before the speaking
commences and while the
judges give their decision.

Discusses Congressional Situation and
Qu<tes Bobby Burns.
To The Courant:
AS the days go by political
sentiment seems to more and
crystalize. One looks in vain
through the state press for
some mention. adverse or COM
mandatory, of the candidacy of
the Hon, H.. T. Helgeson of
Milton or Hon. A. NJ. Young of
Valley City for Congress.
Mr.. Blaisdell has practically
declared himself to be out of
the race and wants to go back
to the desk of Secretary of State
at Bismarck for another two
years. This we think he is en-
titled to as he has been a good
officer and a credit to this part
of the state.
1t is our opinion that he will
be warmly supported for that
position at the primaries. One
cannot help but notice that the
insurgent movement, inaug-
urated by Mr.. Helgeson etal is
gradually resolving itself into
its original elements; and thus
the ambitions and plans of the
ins urgent leaders to disrupt the
republican party by preaching
corruption. bossism and corpo-
rate influence in state politics
is being generally understood
to be nothing more than per-
sonal ambition for place and
power. The people are awake
and understand all this and

Easter comes somewhat later

will act accordingly at the pro-
per time.
And so we quote for the bene-
fit of the Hon. Thos. F. Mar
shall, Hon. H. 7. Helgeson and
Honorable A. NJ. Young, with
all of their co-partners, the
words of Bobby" Burns,
whose birthday we celebrated a
few days ago-of course they
could be paraphrased and rem
dered into doggerel such as
Citizen Jr." spread upon the
pages of the Omemee Herald
but we prefer to give them as
genial souled Bobby wrote
them; and we think that any
one at all familiar with the po-
litical situation in this state
will see the point,
THAT wee bit heap O leaves
an stibble,
Has cost thee mony a weary
nibble;
Now thou's turned out for a.
thy trouble,
But house or hald,
To thole the winters sleety
dribble,
An Cranreuch Cauld.
But, mousie, thou art no thy
lane,
In proving foresight may be
vain;
The best laid schemes of mice
and men
Gang aft a-gley,
An lea'e us naught but grief
an pain
For prOmis' d joy."
I suppose that it would be
very improper to even hint that
because the $4,000 barrel has
not been opened with a free
hand by the senatorial aspirant
of Oakes, that the insurgent
press is beginning to get cold
feet, for were they not in
surgents for good government
and not for Doodle and loud in
their denunciation of The
Looters of Alaskan"
If our correspondent is cor
rectly informed, and he thinks
he is, there. is disposition on
the part Of, the. insurgents, of
this county at least. to forget
the past and get on the band
wagon. We commend them
for this but think that they
ought to be satisfied with a
little humble pie for a while.
The Republic since it's launch
ing by the fathers has passed
through stormy days, and he
would be either ignorant or a
fool who would say that there
has not been corruption in it's
political as we'll as in its COM
mercial world, but the great
mass. of it's people are honest,
God-fearing and law abiding,
and while they may for the
moment be deceived by the
voice of the calamity howler
and demagogue, will in the end
be found upholding the prin-
ciples for which LINCOLN gave
his life and that Grant, Garfield
and Mckinley upheld.
