BARTLETT THERE
BY AN EYELASH
Only Day Round Mountain Editor
Recognizes is Saturday.

IL OaJuTuuys
The drinks are on Henry Bartlett
this time. Henry is an up-to-date
politician-maybe. At the late Demo-
cratic primaries in which brother
George was interested, Henry was
supposed to handle the Round Noun
tain delegation. Now when it comes
to fine-haired, get-there-or-die dele
gate handlers, oh, there is nothing to
1t but Henry. He has such pastmast-
ers in the fine art of corralling dele
gates as Bathouse John and Hinky
Dink of Chicago backed off the
boards. Matt Quay and Roger Sulli-
van would be at the post while Henry
was passing under the wire getting
the purses as well as the plaudits of
the people. 1t is said OF him that on
one occasion down in Kentucky he
occupied the pulpit in a Methodist
church and by his powerful exhorta-
ton caused the election of a kid
glove plate passer in an Episcopal
church against the biggest Amen
shouter in the state. At another
time he carried a prohibitionist to
victory with the votes of half a dozen
Kentucky colonies whom he had in
duced to get on the water wagon for
the space of twenty-four hours. 1t is
needless to say that the cards had
been stacked and the prohibitions
fell off the wagon with the rest of the
bunch.
But to our knittin', as they say In
Missouri. Henry was born on Satur.
day, the Round Mountain Nugget II
issued on Saturday and a new buzz
cart was due on Saturday. In the
Bartlett home at Round Mountain al

SILVER PARTY TO
BRING OUT TICKET
Comstock Men VIII Act Regardless Of
NewIands and Sharon.

COmstock Men VIII Act Regardless OF
NewIands and Sharon.
The silver party, the great party
which swept Nevada time after time
and which the Democrats have been
endeavoring to swallow for the last
ten years. is not dead although badly
dIsorganized in nan parts of the
state, says a Virginia City dispatch to
the Carson News. The party was in
full power in Nevada, but the lead
ers of it were so repeatedly hood
winked and forgotten when 1t came
time for distribution of patronage
and pap, that the Democratic wing
of the organization finally assumed
full control and tried to engulf the
organization. However, the silver
party on the Comstock will be in full
blossom this year and preparations
are now underway for the placing of
a complete ticket in the field at the
coming election.
The men behind the movement are
neither Democrats or Republicans,
but earnest and sincere believers in
the silver cause. They point out that
the Democratic party no longer in
dorses the silver question, that Bryan
has wholly deserted the proposition
and therefore the fundamental prin-
ciple Of the party a only be main
tanned and secured through the silver
organization. AS a consequence
scores of the old-line and old-timers
of the party have assured the leade g
of the movement that they will stand
by the party, whether for success or
failure.
THE old fight will be made again, =
said one of the local supporters Of
the cause this afternoon. " Before the
silver party was founded in Nevada
and now we expect to begin the fight
again, this time on the Comtsock. We
have learned from bitter experience
that the Democrats were not sincere
when they came to our party; we will
never be caught again"
Interest is added to the matter be-
cause Of the fact that Senator New
lands and his Nevada manager, w. E.
Sharon, want the silver party to
quietly die. Several days ago Mr..
Sharon sent word to the leaders of
the silver party that he and Senator
Newlands would lot furnish any
money, any sinews for organization.
mot a cent for you; get in the Dem
ocratic line" Mr.. Sharon is reported
to have said to the leaders. The
leaders, however, o that they
do net need Newlands-Sharon.mcney
never expected or sought it. 1t is
planned to extend the party organi-
cation to all parts of the state and the
silver party will have nigh its pristine
strength.
Sharon and Newlands are worried
over the outlook on the Comstock-
their W dunghill.

Urls ENCOUNTER
WIT A BULL U
Disastrous Results to Mine Operator
on Visit to GOldfeld.


on Visit to GOldfeld.
Hereby hangs a tale. The tale Of
a dog and the tail Of Uri Curtis
shirt.
Uri has a great fondness for dogs.
He has the pedigrees Of every kind of
dog and his sleeping apartments and
den are adorned with oil paintings of
dogs. Sunday night there was a dog
fest in his neighborhood and all the
n~eighbors were out in an endeavor to
put an end to the canine musicale.
Uri had great fun giving the jolly to
his next door neighbor who threw a
rock at the dogs and succeeded in
smashing his wife's (the neighbor's)
cloisenne vase. But this is another
tale.
Yesterday Uri went to Goldfield.
Business took him to the railway sta
ton. There he espied a dog to which
he took a particular fancy. Fixing
his eye on Towser he advanced to the
dog when a purp of the bull variety
grabbed Urls trousers from the rear
and with one mighty tug Uri was
sans trousers, sans underwear and
with a shirt that resembled steamers
of ribbons around a May pole. The
dog, fortunately for Uri, failed to get
his incisors into the anatomy of the
mine operator. A wag suggested
that as Uri was wearing a pair of
$1.7S trousers marked down to GA
cents and made of cotton cloth suit
able for the hot weather, that the
product of the south got clogged in
the dogs teeth and he was unable to
chew.
Kind friends assisted Uri to his
auto and a bunch of excelsior was
the material used to keep the wind
off of Urls patrician skin until he
got to Tonopah, which was late in the
evening.

Pay Day for the Miners.

Monday was pay day in Tonopah

coin of the realm vas passed out to
the miners and from them to the
merchants and business men. Pay
day comes with a regularity in Tono-
pah that is equalled in but few
places and the circulating of this
large sum of money means much to
the people of this community.

PLAN Big Time for RepudIlcans.

There's surely going to be doings
when the Republican state conven'
ton meets in Goldheld on August %.
At last nights meeting of the county
central committee and the Republi-
can club, plans were outlined that in
sure a season of delight to the Ne
vada crowd that will swoop down
upon the busy little city known as
Goldfeld, say the Tribune.
Autos, a banquet, a visit to the
mines and a number of surprises, the
character of which is not revealed at
this time, are on the program and
will be worked out by a competent
committee. Senator Morehouse was
named as chairman of the reception
committee, j. f. Douglass of the ban
quet committee and j. S. Corregan OF
the decoration committee. The fin
ance committee appointed to raise
funds for the convention, reported
that 1t had so far collected $500,
and expected to gather in a total oil
at least $4,000 within the next ter
days.
The Hippodrome theater has beer
engaged for the convention, and the
choice is considered excellent.

IHOT ROAST FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Reno Journal Says StOddard Mis-
understands His Duties.

uuueFStAnOS his DuUIeS.
The Reno Journal is hot on the
trail of Attorney General Stoddard
for his attitude to Bullion Tax Agent
Haley in passing back the buck" in
regard to the collection of revenues
on gypsum. The Journal says editor
tally:
Without touching on the merits
of the contention of State Bullion
Tax Collector Haley that gypsum falls
within the law under which part Of
the states revenue is collected, we
must take issue directly with Attor-
ney-General .Stoddard as to his duty
In the matter, after Mr.. Haley had
drawn his attention to the facts.
THE state of Nevada, odd as it
may appear to Mr.. %Stoddard, Toes not
maintain the Office of attorney gen.
eral purely to supply Mr.. Stoddard
with a salary. The incumbent of
that Office is supposed to advise other
SIdlS OnhCSlo dLuOhS ObhSl Ihlu6S, anu
Mr.. Haley followed the proper pro-
cedure in applying to the attorney
general for counsel in the circum-
stances.
"Mr. Stoddard is a young man and
his elevation to an important and dig
nified post may have had the usual
effect of not wholly earned promo
ton upon youthful and u~nprepared
minds. Nevertheless, he has now
served nearly two years at Carson and
it is high time that he should realize
the necessity of doing something to
earn the pay. The land moneys that
have been added to Income, we no
tice, he continues to accept, although
there never was any intention on the
part of the law that such payments
should be made to him. The salary
of the office, as provided by law, is in
itself more, in the opinion of those
who have observed his practice, than
he would ever carr in private life.
"Such being the facts, a man with
a nice sense of ethic would seek in
every way to serve the public, rather
than to avoid doing so. The shame
full outrage of the State Bank and
Trust company could never have been
permitted, and its depcsitors robbed,
had the attorney general bestirred
himself. Instead of doing anything.
however, Stoddard apparently sought
only to find a way of keeping his
hands off. A really jealous public
official in his place would have forced
the bank people into the open and
would have compelled the bank COM
mission to show its land. Stoddard
was either unprepared or afraid,
however, and by his inaction deserv-
ed the contempt of the people.
Now, when he is asked for advice
in a matter affecting the revenue OF
the state, he petulantly stirs in his
chair and says: Go to the district
attorney"
"The governor has his hands full,
or we would suggest that he take a
hand in prodding this public official
into making at least a show of earn
ing a part of the salary that goes
with the attorney generalship."

The Wager Was Stage Money.

bantam weight in the world and pre-
ferred the winner of that fight, both
men to make 100 pounds, announced
his willingness to back Hefron to the
extent of $500. He was accommo-
dated with so many offers to take the
bet, which was evidently one of stage
money on his part, that he declined to
enter into further negotiations. BY

A PATHETIC STORY
But He Is to Have Tombstone.

"Ju-ju' was once the name of a small dog. So small indeed was 'Ju-ju' that at a few yards distant he was only visible through tcIc- scope. His tottering and enfeebled legs with difficulty supported an at tenuated frame. For the benefit of his delicate constitution he was brought to Bermuda by an alrec- tionate mistress, who layished both tears and caresses upon her Lilipu- tian canine companion. She doctored and decorated him and led him ten- derly at the end of string through the streets of Bermuda, where ''Ju- ju" never failed 10 provoke the sym pathy and often, we are sorry to re- late, the derision of the passerby. Notwithstanding the unremitting and careful attention of the best veterinary skill, "Ju-iu,' small as he was, dwindled perceptibly, and final ly died, to the indescribable grief of his mistress. His emaciated little body was conveyed to a certain spot, which shall not be revealed, in Smiths parish, and there inferred. In due season the mistress of the de- parted "Ju-ju" left Bermuda, and the memory of both her and her one- time companion was almost forgot ten. Within the last few weeks, how ever, interest in the couple has been revived by the arrival, on the Der mudian, of an eight-inch square tombstone, bearing the following in- scription: "Ju-ju, from Paris" The stone was sent from the gay cap- ital by "Ju-ju's" mistress, and has since been erected over "Ju-ju's' grave.
