An Important Decision

BY a decision just rendered, Judge
Lanean of Goldield knocks out the
contention that the full panel OF IL
grand jurors must hear the evidence In
every case, even before a quorum OF IL
can return a true bill. The Court,
months ago. passed; upon this same
point in the same way. The ques-
ton was raised in the case oil
Ell Hughes. accused Of the murder OF
William Gilman in Goldfeld. Hughes
claimed that inasmuch as the full
grand jury did not hear the evidence IN
his case no true bill could be returned
against him. The Court overrules his
point, and r~eiterates that SO long as IL
grand jurors hear the evidence and re-
turn a bill, or no true bill. the indict-
ment or failure of indictment is within
the law.

lofty plane, In a physical sense, at any
rate. In case any delegates are not
satisfied with attaining a level Of $3.50
feet above the sea they can reach an al
titude Of over two miles by climbing
some OF the nearby mountains. Anoth-
er strong argument was the fact that
Colorado has a minister, the Rev. DIR.
Henry A. Buehtel, chancellor OF the
University of Denver, for a governor,
which is a fuf guarantee to the
delegates that Il will breathe only a
high moral atmosphere. Then there
was the argument that they could meet
in the biggest auditorium In the Unit
ed States, seating about 1900 persons
and provided with great fans to cool
the fevered and perspiring brows Of
auditors during the delivery Of fiery
speeches. Last, but not least, was the
fact that the convention would be held
in a city and a state where the ladies
vote.
When a party convention is about to
start proceedings for the nomination
of a national ticket it Is the national
committee which opens up the game.
The Democratic national committee
has for chairman Thomas Taggart OF
Indiana and for secretary Urey Wood
son of Kentucky. Both are well known
to the Democrats of the nation through
their having held these position in the
campaign of 1904. MI. Woodson, who
will be forty-nine In August, is a ma
tive Of Madisonville, Ky, and is prin-
cipal owner of the greensboro Messen-
ger and Paducah News-Democrat. He
was educated at the Evansville Qnd.)
high school, married Miss Elizabeth
Ford In 1885 and was railroad com
missioner of Kentucky from 1891 to
1895. He has been a member of the
Democratic national committee since
1896, and his acquaintance among the
members of the party is very exten-
sive.
Chairman Taggart is perhaps best
known for his smile. II is a smile
that has made many Democratic votes.

yer IN Lincoln Mr.. Bryan at first lived
In a modest cottage In the city itself.
But as soon as be could afford to do so
he began buying farm land In the vi
cinity of Lincoln and adding a few
acres now and again as he had oppor-
tunity. In due time he had possession
of quite an extensive tract, in the CEN
ter of which he has built his present
tasteful and comfortable residence. He
and Mrs. Bryan named 1t Fairview,
because Of the pleasant scenery which
surrounds their home of today. Mr..
Bryan does not do all of the hoeing
and digging aud pitching hay incident
to the work of his farm himself. He
has a considerable force Of "hands"
for proper cultivation Of the soil he
can call his own. But whenever he
feels the need Of toning up his system
and stretching his muscles he can turn
In and be a man with the hoe or the
mar with the pitchfork and can hold
his own with the next.

Harvest Time In Nevada

To-day Carson Valley represents one Of the most delightful
spots in all Nevada Her thousands of acres of alfalfa is about
matured and within the next week the mowers sickle will begin
the gigantic task of reducing the blue bossoming field to hay.
This is most pleasing after CHANGING over a magazine article in
which the author laments over conditions in Nevada and sympathizes
with those who are endeavoring to earn a living from an agri-
cultural way. Come and see the countless acres of waving grain
and hay dancing to the Summers breeze come and see our cream
and -four mills in daily operation come and see the magnificent
farm residences and meet the prosperous and contented people of
Carson Valley, and well, We guess you'll change your way of thinking.

cuakes, ten minutes apart, the first

widest excitement in the city. The
panic-stricken people rushed into the
streets in the belief that the build
ings were about to topple over. Struc-

down. dishes were thrown to the
floor, the main school building, two
story brick, was badly cracked and
the ground rent with seams from one
to three inches wide.

causing immense assures to form IN

Some of these assures are from a

its way through some subterranean
passages to the remnants of the nres
