MEMORIAL DAY EX-
ESClSES POSTPONED
Owinas to, In1cclesment Weather but
were Observed Yesterday
as Scheduled

AS result of the heavy storm
which ragged in this city Saturday
forenoon the regular program by the
Grand Army of the Republic and
Women's Relief Corps for Memorial
Day was not carried out
In the afternoon however, when the
sun forced its way through the clouds,
and the weather became somewhat
pleasant, many people went to the
cemeteries and placed flowers on the
graves of their departed loved ones.
Memorial Day always a day of sad
ness, seemed dOubly sad on this oc-
casiOn, when the heavy storm appear
ed to protest against the people Wis.
paying their duties and respects to
their departed.
Sunday morning opened nice and
bright and the entire day was all that
could be wished for and in general

respects took the place of Memorial
Day. and as nearly as practicable. the
program outlined for the day previous
was carried out yesterday
At 1:3O in the afternoon the Grand
Army marched to the cemetery and
after carrying out their ritualistic pro-
gram, the graves of their dead COM
rades were fittingly decohated, and
the sad services of the day were COM
pleted
The residents of the city also took
advantage of the better day and paid
homage to their departed ones on
Sunday, and although the inclemency
of the weather prohibited the prear-
ranged observance of Memorial Day
in full. still the day was observed
throughout the city, business being
suspended and in so far as possible
observed in the manner for which the
day has been set apart.

PLENTY OF CANDIDATES

There will be six and probably more
tickets in the field at the coming nat
ional election for the voters to choose
from when they cast their votes for
President of the United States. In
the State of Nevada the indications
are there will be four--the Republi-
can, the Democratic, the Independence
League and the Socialists. From the
outlook the latter two organizations
will nominate tickets and the lead
ers have announced they expect to
make quite a showing.

ALARM OF
FIRE TO-DAY
Calls Out Fire Depart
ment and Populace.
Little Damage

AT about $50 o'clock this after
noon an alarm of fire was sounded
which brought out the entire populace
and for a time threatened the destruc-
ton of the house known as the Stew
art property in the western portion
of the city, now occupied by Capt.
Cox and family in one portion and
assistant engineer Van Nagell and
family in the other
The fire started in the portion oc-
cupied by Capt. Cox, presumably from
ashes left in a barrel near the kitch-
en- door
The fire department responded
quickly and having an excellent
stream of water did good work and
soon had the fire under control. The
walls, ceiling and roof of the kitchen
were considerably damaged and but
for the hard work of the firemen the
entire building would have been de
stroyed

POLITICIANS GATHER
IN THIS CITY
The Session is HaromniouS and
Will Probably End This Even
ing With Bryan Instructions

The Democratic convention which
met in this city today resulted in one
OF the largest and most enthusiastic
gatherings Of the Democracy that the
State has witnessed in number of
years. 1t is in every way a repre-
sentative convention as proxies are
conspicuous by their absence.
The advance guard arrived Satur-
day and every train up to the local
this afternoon brought in representa-
tives. Lincoln, White Pine and in
fact all of the great east and south
is here with ribbons and bells.
All Seems Bryan
At the very outset it seems Bryan
straight instructions that way. There
was some talk of sending delegates
uninstructed, but the old war horses
of the ranks insisted that it be Bryan,
Bryan as long as the Nevada dele
gates could vote.
Early in the morning the Washoe
delegation held a caucas on this sub
ject They will be for Bryan, and the
delegates will be instructed that way.
The fact that the call of the con-
vention went over until o'clock gave
the members a chance to form solid
lines that ther would be no falling
down of plans and no breaks in the
line. Tonopah was early in the fight
for the state convention and it seems
to be a settled fact that the great
mining center will pull down this per-
simmon Naturally Pat McCarran had
his fighting clothes on. Pat is after
the Congressional billet and is receiv-
ing heavy support from his end OF
the state Judge Sweeney. Lem Allen
H. A. McCraney, Barney Campbell
and score of others put in the morn
ing talking and fighting for different
points that go to make up conven
ton. The enthusiasm was OF more
than passing note and by the time the
convention was called to order every
thing was ripe for business.

Penitentiary for Five Years.

Albert NJ Raymond, under sentence of
Imprisonment for five years in the peni-
tertiary for criminal libel, was brought
to this city this morning in custody of
Oscar Albert Knehans Of the office of the
United States marshal in st. Louis. Ray
mond was recently apprehended in st.
Louis after an absence Of two and a half
years.

him was not prosecuted with much vigor
He says that he spent three weeks at his
home in this city in August. 1905, and at
that time wrote to Attorney General
Moody and Lieut.. Falvey of the ninth
precinct advising them of his presence
here.
Raymond's story of his travels since
taking leave Of his bail bond in February,
1906. carries him from New York to the
City of Mexico on the south, and to San
francisco and Portland, Ore, on the
west. He says he resided twelve months
in one house In Portland. Since Septem-
ber. 1906 he has been accompanied by
his wife
Raymond says he has spent .2.7oo dur
ing his absence from Washington, all of
which he claims to have made by teach
ing flower painting. He adds that some
of his classes numbered 200 persons.
The close of his narrative Of his wan
derings brought him to st. Louis: From
ST. LOUIS he said, Il came to Washing
ton; thence to the penitentiary."
Raymond has employed Attorney w: E..
Ambrose. he says, to institute proceedings
in habeas corpus in an attempt to secure
his liberty. He will probably be detained
in jail pending the disposition of such
action. Should the court decide against
him he win be taken to Atlanta. Ga, to
serve the sentence imposed.
