STYLES in Stumping.

Stamping has long been associated with
glibness, and storytelling and acting of
the melodramatc kind. The spellbinder
must have rapid-firing tongue. a gener-
Gus stock of breezy illustrations and a
delivery changing easily from comedy to
tragedy. from lively to severe" In
other words, he must be an entertainer
rather than instructor. AS a rule crowds
prefer ginger to argument. Said the vet
eran stumper to the novice, who had
asked for pointer: Get 'em laughin,
and keep EN- laughin'. You can do more
with a fellow in merry than in a solemn
mood
MIR. Bryan is a star stumper, although
he lacks one of the three ingredients men,
toned. He appreciates humor, but he is
not storyteller. He tries a story only
occasionally. and but seldom with effect
But he is extraordinarily fluent and a
good melOdramatic actor. 1t has fire.
quently been said that had he made the
stage instead of politics his study he
would have distinguished himself behind
the footlights in the field of what Is called
the noisy drama. He has the voice, the
port, the assurance, the temperament,
that go with leading parts In the mimic
world.
This campaign has shown a new style
stumper, SO to say. BY general report
the most successful men in the field on
the republican side are Judge Taft and
Gov. Hughes. neither of whom possesses
a particle of the equipment ordinarily as
ISOLATED with stump speaking. Neither is
especially fluent. Neither is a story
teller Neither suggests the actor in any
thing he says does. Both are serious
minded men. without pose or pretense OF
any kind. and in their speeches are taking
serious texts. and sticking to them. And
yet they are creating great enthusiasm
everywhere, and in all audiences. City
and country folk alike flock to hear them,
and applaud them. Farmers, wage-earn-
ers and business and professional men, all
express great admiration for the ad-
dresses Of these two men.
There is something to the fact that
Judge Taft and Gov. Hughes represent
large achievements in public affairs; that
their acts are reinforcing their words.
And as acts speak louder than words.
when acts and words go together the
effect is most favorable.
Let this be conceded, and yet all IL not
explained. The hope should be that the
country at last is firing of the old style
of appeal: that the people are growing
up; that the transformer is playing out
in the political as In the mimic world; that
there is an increasing demand for, and
an appreciation of. argument as against
fustian: that words of themselves are
but little: that more than ever deeds
count.
Hysteria, everybody says. is the bane
of the day. We are thinking too much
In superlatives. and yield too readily to
new things f1ashily presented. If, there
fore. the instructor Is supplanting the en-
tertainer in the political world. and the
men presenting their cases without verbal
ornament or studied gesture are making
the deepest impression. there is good
ground for rejoicing.

time and experience. but it Is safe to say

of said deposits would come within

of said deposits would come within
the ban of the statute.
Counsel's last contention is that
the indictment is fatally defective,
because it alleges that the deposit
was not received by the defendant
personally, but by clerk or teller
who was the agent for the corpora
ton. This position is untenable be-
cause the Indictment charges, in ex-
press terms, that the deposit was re-
ceived by the defendant Hickey in his
official capacity as president of the
State Bank and Trust company act
ing through the agency or instrument
tality of the receiving teller of the
corporation. In other words, the in
dictment alleges that while the ply
steal receipt of the money was made
to the paying teller, still it also al
leges that the receiving teller in re-
ceiving the deposit acted in behalf of
and under the authority and direction
of the defendant. The question,
therefore, of whether the defendant
would be criminally liable or not for
the act of the receiving teller if he
did not authorize and direct the re-
ceipt of this particular deposit does
not arise and can not be determined
upon the demurrer. The indictment
charges the defendant Hickey in clear
and unequivocal terms with having
received the deposit in his official ca
pacity as president, knowing the
bank to be insolvent, and this brings
the case squarely within the pro-
visions of the statute and the indict-
ment is therefore impervious to at
tack by demurrer.
For these reasons | am of the
opinion that the demurrer should be
overruled and the defendant required
to plead to the indictment. And it is
SO ordered.

RAWHIDE HAS
GREAT PRODUCTION
SHIPMENTS OF ORE FOR THIRTY
DAYS PAST VALUED AT
100000.

Uri B. Curtis, who has been in the
Rawhide district for the past week,
returned from that section yesterday
with a glowing account of the north
ern camp. Returns show that the
amount of ore shipped out of the
camp reached total valuation of
100000 for the past thirty days. He
predicts that within six months Raw
hide will be acknowledged the great
est camp in the world. He says the
road to Fallon is one mass of teams
packing out ore and bringing in sup
plies. The kind of people coming in
to camp at present are a character
that insures the welfare of the dis
trict. On the Coalition they are
breaking four feet of ore that is fabu-
lous in it's richness. From 1870 pounds
of rock there was taken 40 ounces
of gold. The Mckinley lease on the
Rawhide Rector is prosecuting a
ledge on the fifty-foot level. For
twenty-five feet on each side of the
shaft on the hanging wall they have
encountered seven feet of ore that
goes $50 to the ton and have not cut
the foot walls yet. In the entire fifty
feet of the ledge no assays less than
$3.50 have been received. The work
that is being done everywhere in the
camp is phenomenal and the ship
ments for the next thirty days are
likely to be doubled.

M'KANE TO DO
BRITISH POLITICS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 20
John j. McKane, Scotchman and min
ing engineer, who invested $4,000
900 of Charles M. Schwab's money in
Nevada mines and cleaned up a mil
lion dollars for himself and gained
more fame by paying $3.50 to ride
across one street in hack, has gone
back to Scotland to live and is a can
didate for parliament in the Dunn
friesshire district, the old home Of
Andrew Carnegie.
1t was Carnegie who recommended
McKane to Schwab as a mining engi-
neer when the latter decided to invest
in the gold fields of Nevada.
McKane, who is widely and favor
ably known in Nevada and in this
city, has written to friends here about
his British political aspirations, and
as Carnegie's Scotch friends are sup
porting him, he thinks he has good
chance to become an M. p. from the
Caledonia district where he has taken
up his residence.
FAMOUS SPENDER AT PALACE.
McKane was one of the famous
spenders at the Palace hotel before
the fire and the hotel bellboys of
those days fondly remember the 81
and SIS tips he used to give them.
He is probably the only Palace
guest who hired hack to drive him
over the street to the Grand hotel.
II want to hire hack to 60 to the
Grand hotel" said he, Christmas eve,
1905, to hackman at the Palace.
cts just across the street, - re-
piled the Jehu.
Il know that, but I want hack, .
was the Scotchman's reply
So he got his carriage and in a
minute was driven across the street
to the Grand. He paid $3.50 for the
forty-foot ride and made an everlast-
ing friend Of the hackman by giving
him dollar tip.
McKane had quarrel with
Schwab. He wired the former presi-
dent of the steel trust that he had
closed deal to buy the Montgomery
interest in the Montgomery Shoshone
mine in Nevada for $1,000 900.
/ SCHWAB BEsTED BY WOMAN.
Schwab sent savage Geographic
reply that it was too much money
and to hold things statu quo until he
4 could arrive on the scene, wher
Schwab got to Nevada, Mrs. Robert
Montgomery, the wife of Bob
Montgomery, refused to sign the Nc
Kane deal with her husband. She
was half owner with him and hat
to be consulted. Schwab finally hat
to pay her million and her husband
a million.
That was the only time woman
ever got the best of Schwab and h,
don't like to be reminded of the mat
ter even to this day.

ELECTRIC POWER
FOR MANHATTAN

A well-known mining man who re-
Gently visited in, Manhattan was
qut as saying that When the cleo
trio power line from Bishop creek was
installed in this camp it would within
a very short time develop into one of
the biggest milling camps in the
west The advent of electricity for
power purposes in Manhattan would
revolutionize the mining and milling
industries here. Milling charges that
now range from SO to SIS ton
would be reduced from So to SIS a
ton. With the cost of treating thus
reduced, ore running as low as So to
$40 per ton could be milled at .
profit 1t is a well known fact that
Manhattan has thousands of tons Of
such grade ore on dumps and in sight
in the mines. Today the average val
ne of the ore milled in the camp IS
about $25 per ton. Less than that,
at the present milling charges, It
doesn't pay the companies or leasers
to mill, unless they install mills and
treat their own ores.
Several months ago, representa-
tive Of the Nevada California Power
company visited Manhattan, Belmont
and Round Mountain with view of
ascertaining the amount of electrical
power required in the three camps
and to learn the attitude of the OPP
orators toward their power should
they extend their line into this part
of the county Manhattan and Round
Mountain offered to contribute $780,
600 toward the expense of bringing
in the line, but the officers of the
company stated that they did not
want any contributions; that they
were able extend their lines with
out aid and that they would prefe;
not to be under any obligations to
individual users of current. No fur
Their statements were made at thu
time Of the visit except to express con.
fidence in the camps, but leaving
however, the general impression that
in time their lines would be extend
ed.
Since the visit the company has
started to increase its plant more
than three fold. Dams and storagt
reservoirs are being constructed witt
a storage capacity of more than 700,
600. 900 cubic feet, with an ultimate
energy of 5000 electrical horsepower
This work is expected to be complet
ed by the first of November at a cos
of $3.50, 900. The company is nov
furnishing power to Tonopah, Gold
field and other southern camps.
It is now officially stated that Man
hattxn and Round Mountain will b
con %cted with the long distance
power line, and that the work will b
completed by spring.
The bringing of electrical power t
Manhattan and adjoining, camps will
prove great factor in the develop
ment of the mines. The cost pc
horsepower will be reduced about 4
per cent, besides the saving on install
lation of power machinery.-ManhaI
