VIM. (Kelley) Klaus, wife and child

part of Friday in Fallon, and left for
Virginia City, their former home, where

MIR. Klaus is one of Wonders most

pastor of the Baptist church of this

morning, of neuralgia of the heart, al
ter brief illness, aged SO years.

east and west. He was method.cal and
systematic in everything, and his SER
mons bore the stamp of careful and
deep thought.
He was a man to command respect.
His character was irreproachable. A
man of strict integrity, conscientious
and true. but unassuming. kind, con.
slderate and thoughtful, and especially
were these traits shown in his family,
who now suffer such an irreparable
loss.
Deceased left wife and one son,
Clare. Mrs. Weber's maiden name
was Ray. She is daughter of ID. b.
Ray, chaplain of the House of Repre-
sentatives of Oklahoma and editor of
note in that State. They have the
sympathy of the entire community.

POWWOW Notes.

The Indian name Mississlnewa means
beautiful water. Mlssissinewa, herself,
doesn't like the name.
Truly, don't know whether | was
named after Old River, New River, on
the South Fork.
Mother often tells me that my motor
when | wash clothes is more like the
slow indulation of deep water wave
than the ripple of any river; and, when
she IL very impatient, she says; You
may name your daughter Rinse Water,
1rucxee Shutress, or Carson Damsel,
ii you choose, but if the child takes
after you, a better name would be
Placid Slough. Your name, though, was,
Is and shall be MIssissinewa.
So you see | am an old fogy on ac-
count of my name.
II was MIssissinewa who translated
as spoken the words of Cnlef Pow8og
tan. The translation follows:
Who wouldn't be an Indian now
With naught to do but just powwow,
And shift from cool to cooler shade,
BY Natures glad hands ready made?
Kind women folks to make the bread
Sufficient for the daily spread,
And naught TO do but just behave
Vino wouldn't be an Indian braye2
Lahonatan You all know the legend
of Lahonatanth that where we now meet
was the bottom of a great sea; that
the spray thereof sizzled On hot rocks
high on the mountain side, that after
Plutes had taken fish for the year, the
Washoes also fshed andgot few bites.
Hearken, ex-warriors, TO a rumor OF
troubled Lahonatan is not dead; the
pelican and the brant and the wild
gJose call her; the tears of the mount
ans refresh her, and it yet may
be even as the rhymster speaks
Nothing to see but the seal
Nothing to wave but the wavei
The white man doesn't make his land
fiat enough. To wet humps he must
flood deeply the low ground, and all
water wasted adds to the fathoms of
Lahonaton. So, when his dining table
drifts away on a white-capped water
table, and he must needs take his sus-
tenance from anchored stewkettles or
seek dryer places, the white man will
sail away.
Then we shall have fish too much
fish. Fish are good, but we can no
longer live on FISH alone. We want Star,
Union Leader, bread and coffee. Our
wives want mirrors and taleum powder.
Our children know not the fetch of
their fathers, and they would trale all
their totems and medicine charms on
earth for a Noah's ark-wh ch, truly,
they may need of the white mar
doesn't make his land the more fiat.

NO CHANGE DESIRED.

, With the closing of the grea
} national campaign and the cleo
: ton of the Republican nominee:
: for president and vice-president,
the vast business interests Of
the greatest country under the
sun will assume a more solid basis
and the coming year of 1909 will
as natural consequence be one
of great prosperity and happiness
for the people. Had Bryan gone
in the chances for an Interrupt
ton that might have been dis.
astrous were favorable. The
people, so the result shows, fully
realized and appreciated this
fact, although they look upon
William Jennings Bryan at the
same time as one OF our greatest
national characters.
The Republican party has been |
in power so long and the country |
has grown to such glorious pro-
portions under its wise and far
seeing administrations, that
every line of trade and business
interest has been nourished and
strengthened until it is capable
Of its fullest capacity.
No nation in the world has
grown and prospered like the
United States, and for all this
he Republican party comes in
'or the biggest share of the
'redit. And the country thus
and the nation holding
he greatest confidence OF its
eople, why should a change

'as danger Of bringing about
trained conditions? The people
ave just raised their voice with
leir ballot and said that they

is sound advice. Unfortunately we
have the election of state officers this
fall complicated with a senatorial
primary again. We are of the opin-
ion that the faction within the party
that seeks to enroll the state ticket
in this struggle will not gain by it,
nor will the candidate who seeks to
drag one struggle into the other.
The Republican nominees for the
state officers are nominees of the
Republican party. 1t is the right
and duty Of every Republican to vote
for which ever one of the nominees
he chooses, without seeking to trade
or to bring other issues into the
senatorial choice. There is an op-
portunity now for the Republicans
of the state to get together and drop
factionalism. The rank and file can
bring this about by discouraging
every effort toward the creating of
more factionalism by lining up 'tIn-
SurgentS and StalWarts" In one or
the other of the senatorial camps.
And if we are to have another per-
iod of factionalism under the banners
of "Johnsonism" and 'Marshallism"
we have not much improved our in
ternal disorders. Let the senatorial
candidates and their friends fight out
the senatorial battle. Let the lead
ers of the Republican party, in either
faction, keep their hands off.

RETURNING PROSPERITY.

Conditions throughout the country
point to an early return of prosper
ity, says James w. Van Cleve, pres
ident of the National Association of
Manufacturers, in american Indus
tries for July.
Bank clearings and railroad earn
ings are below. those of year ago,
but the gap is steadily narrowing.
There are fewer idle cars then there
were at the beginning of June. The
July interest and dividend payments
this year in New York, the country S
financial center, will be SLIT, 900, 900,
as compared with $1S4,000,000 in
July, 1907. Thus the falling off is
far less than had been expected.
About SAG, COG, 600 of gold has been
exported since the present outward
movement began in the middle of
April, but as we gained over $780,
600, 900 of gold in November and De-
cember last, and as we can get as
much as we need from the outside
world at any time we need it, this
movement does not disturb anybody.
The rates for money are about the
same as they are in midsummer. of
normal years.
Unemployment days" are becom-
ing general. st. Louis had one on
June first, when $4,000 idle persons
were put to work. On far larger
scale the Pittsburg district will have
one on July 9th, when every plant
Of the United States Steel corpora
ton, the largest concern in the world
In its field, will resume operations.
The other shops of that corporation,
all over the country will, it is ex-
pected, all be running by August /.
All the independent steel concerns
in the Pittsburg district, it is an
nounced, will be at work with a full
force by the first week in August.
The department of agriculture in
Washington says the crop outlook is
better, on the whole, then it ever
was before at this time Of the year.
1t estimates that the value Of the
country's farm products of 1908 will
reach the $4,000, 100000 mark. This
will leave all records far behind.
It will be more than double the val
sue of the farm yield Of 1900, which
was $3,764,OOo.OO0. Big crops have
always heretofore meant good times
for the county, and they will mean
the same this year.

TEMPERATURE
CHANGES BENEFIT.
!. CIAL To HEALTH
HEAT SPELLS ESPECIALLY BENE,
FicIAL TO PEOPLE IN NORTH
ERIN CLIMATES.

That high temperature is beneficial
rather than harmful is the averment
lately made In London newspaper
by an English physician, DR.. H. H.
Riddle, and it is unauestionably sup
ported by a vast amount OF careful
statistics and an imposing array OF
scientific authorities.
There ID no foundation for the cur
rent opinion that the heart and the
lungs bear most OF the stress of hot
weather. The assumption seems to
be based on a supposed analogy be,
tween human being and a dog,
which latter VIGOROUSLY pants when
overheated. There is NO such anal
