Baby Arrives at Mullin Homo.

J.. J.. Mullin, the mining operator,
was observed lowering around the
various furniture stores of this city
yesterday endeavoring to secure a
perambulator and muttering to him
self, "The best is none too good. >
This ejaculation was caused by the
arrival in the Mullin home of a paby

former newspaper man is that Jack

TWAIN ON PROHIBITION.

Crossing the Atlantic with Mark
Twain last summer said a w, G..
r. U. woman, 81 asked his opinion
the prohibition law. His reply was
very characteristic, very humorous:
~ am a friend of temperan.e
and want it to succeed he said, bur
| don't think prohibition is practical.
The Germans, you see, prevent ~.
Look at them. | am sorry to learn
that they have just invented a meth
cd of making brandy out of saw
dust. Now, what chance will proht-
bition have when a man can take a
rip saw and go out and get drunk
with a fence rail? What is the good
of prohibition il a man is able TO
make brandy smashes Of the shingles
on his roof. or If he can get delirium
tremens by drinking the legs of 'hv
kitchen chairs?'"

Hugh Brown Gives His Consent.

AAh6AH AAbONNh v AhAo OObAHthbts
After a great deal of hesitancy AMI
only upon the urgent request of his
many friends over the state, both in
the legal profession and outside,
Hon. Hugh II. Brown has at last
consented to allow his name to go
before the Republican state onven
ton as a candidate for the Office of
the supreme court of the state OF
Nevada. That MI. Brown will make
an ideal member of that august body
goes without saying. He is gifted
with keen and unerring Judgment,
has a judicial mind, a student in his
profession and the respect of the en-
tire bar OF not only this state but
that of California. He is a member
of the great law firm of Campo Il,
Nelson and Brown, which perhaps
has a greater practice than any firm
in the west. The allowing of HIS
name to be presented is good news TO
the Republicans for it means that N
presenting a ticket composed of men
of the caliber of Hugh Brown The
party will present to the voters OF
this state one that will be invincible
1t also means that the people of his
state would cast aside party prefer
ences and vote for the individual
This is one of the few cases which
the office seeks the man.

The first identification was made by
