THE STRENGTH OF BRYAN

The Springfield Republican in the
course of a long study of Bryan's
strength, says that it is manifest that
something has happened within the
party to account for his hold again; that
he answers some sentiment or desire.
He has no machine, no money and no
horde of officeholders to support him,
and if his present political position is
not due to renewed strength among
the masses particularly in the west, the
Republican thinks he must be regarded
rs political miracle such as has never
before occurred in American history.
1t concludes:
Qlf 1t is impossible to explain the
Bryan of 1908 in any other way, then
one must consider whether the causes
that have lately made him invincible
within the democratic party are not
operative more or less outside that
party. The American people are not
divided into alright compartments.
Emotions and sentiments sweep over
them like waves affecting the whole
body, and it is perfectly clear that
Bryan is the democratic expression of
the forces which find in Mr.. Roosevelt
the republican expression. Both
parties, which compose the vast bulk of
the people, have been swept by the
same wave, and the supremacy of the
one man within the republican party
really explains tho supremacy of the
other man within the democratic party.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in the campaign now
upon us, is to be represented by Il sub
Stltute-a most cstimable man. But
Mr.. Bryan is an original package. Deem
emotional forces are operative; wage
"arhrrS are i'll Il state of unrest; the
popular supicion of great corporations
has not been allayed; the republican
party. with all of it's assets and eff.
cheney, has been long in power. The
Republican does not anticipatc Mr.
Bryans election, yet it views as q
stupid kind of folly the prevailing
eastern contempt for Mr.. Brvan's nossi.

Origin Of Name of Winnemuucca

Miss Weir, of the Nevada State Uni
y rsity, who has made a study of the
history and traditions of the Piute
tihe, offers the following as the origin
o. rhe name ''Winnemucca.
When white men first came to this
S .'te they found young chief at the
n nd OF the Piute tribe This young
III in was deeply in love and an OLD
custom among the Indians compelled
hin to dispose with one moccasin as a
sign that his heart was not free.
The young chief was among those
w 10 visited the white mans camp and
they probably dubbed him "One
'Nlo;casin.' The Indian term for foot
covering is ''mucca," and this young
ohl3f soon became "One Mucca." That
was soon contracted to "One-mucca"
and then i'll Indian linguistic parlunce
to Winnemucca.
This was the chief that ATTEMPTED TO
prevent the war between the Piutes and
the whites that ended with the mas
sacre of Major Ormsby, and his com
lnnnd and has been the family name of
the chiefs of the Piutes ever since

In rendering Judgment. upon the
verdict of the jury, Judge Bruce said:
ut is the Judgment Sf the court that
it is hereby ordered that defendant, J.
C.. Mckinney, pay a fine of $3.50 and be
committed to the Jail of the county of
Elko for the term Of thirty days." but
omitted to say: ''SaiG fine of $3.50 if
not paid to be served out at the Jail ut
the rate of % per day"
In writing up his docket he entered
the omitted words as part of his judg-
ment. Attorney Taber who was present
at the time Mckinney was sentenced
objected to these words as part of the
judgment: ''said fine of $3.50 if not
paid to be served out at the rate of So
per day" Judge Bruce admitted that
he had not used those words in passing
sentence and drew his pen through
them.
After reciting the conviction of
Mckinney, the commitment says he was
sentenced ito pay a fine of $3.50 and he
imprisoned in the county Jail of Elko
county until said fine be paid, not to;
exceed 1876 days"
After hearing the evidence of Judge
Bruce, the arguments OF counsel and ex-
amining the docket and papers, Judge
Breen held as follows:
The justice court sentenced the de-
PENDANT to 30 days in the county Jail
and that he pay fine of $3.50, but did
not provide the alternative, that in de-
fault of payment of the fine he be i'm
priSoned for q period equal to one day
for each 81 of said fine, until the same
or what was due of it was paid. That
under the Judgment and the recitals in
the commitment following the judg-'
ment, the defendant could not be held
in custody after the 80 days detention
had expired, and ordered his discharge.
The court also intimated that the COM
mitment was defective in other respects.
From the above it will be seen that
Mckinney escaped long term in Jail
through mistake of Judge Bruce in
passing sentence. That this mistake
was an honest one no one who knows
Judge Bruce will doubt. In Judging
him, we should remember that the
greatest judges sometimes make mis-
takes.

The Carson News says that Judge
Fitzgerald will he candidate for SUI
pr eme judge before the democratic state
convention to succeed Judge Talbot and
that the friends of Judge Brown are do
ing considerable quiet work for him.
Tie friends of Judge Brown must be
very quiet in their work as his most in
innate personal and political friends in
Exc know nothing about his being a
candidate for supreme judge. In fact
the INDEPENDENT is safe in saying that
Judge Brown is not candidate for SUI
preme Judge. 1t can see no good reason
for dropping Judge Talbot providing he
is candidate. He has filled the office
with ability and deserves u renomin-
alton and ought to be reelected.

BAPTIST CHURCH ITEMS.

BAPTIST CHURCH ITEMS.
 The people of the Baptist church, last Sunday, were treated with an in- teresting discourse on the Capital of Salvation. And the thoughts of MT Locke's sermon was Christ had pene- trated the depths of human anguish and had been exalted to the highest pinnacles and turmoils of human for. tune. He has felt the bangs of Hell and the vengeance of High Heaven, met every demand of Divine justice and paid every penalty of Divine holiness, and suffered on all points like our selves-can sympathize and.is in our extremities, deepest springs of our na- lures and keenest susceptibilities and can save US from every condition in life; and if people were acquainted with Christ there would not be so many shameful, disgraceful and cowardly su- icides which is nothing but self mur- der and no murderer can enter the Kingdom of God; therefore all such land as in realms of deeper gloom, misery and disgrace. Better suffer thousand purgatories here and land at last in triumphant realms with the tri- umphant Christ.
 The ladies of the Baptist church and congregation met at the Baptist par sonage, last Wednesday, and organized what is to be known as the Dorcas so- ciety of the Baptist church. A consti- tuition and bylaws were Iadopted. Sew eral present paid their annual fees and gave generous contributions besides. All ladies interested in good work are invited to join.

COULDN'T MOVE ARMSORLEGS
A Detroit Contractor, Be- lieved To Be Dying Of Rheumatism, Cured By Dr Willims' Pink
 Pills.

lnefe afc lnousdnus oi peoplc sul- fering every day from rheumatism who can be cured.
 Some continue to suffer because the doctors have said their cases were chronic and incurable. Others have tried many remedies without relief and have become discouraged.
 The patient who has not tried Dr Williams Pink Pills has neglected a remedy for rehumatism that has &C.,
 complisheo thousands of cures. It is
 not theory nor an experiment. The
 cures are matter of record and cap- able of proof.
 Mir George M. Glading, contractor, of 16 Dumontier street, Detroit, Mich,. and member of the Modern Woodmen of America, Camp 957, of Custer, is certain that Dr Williams Pink Pills saved his life. He says:
 "In my younger days l was in charge of men getting out timber in northern Michigan and was exposed to all kinds of weather and for years had never spared myself from work or ex- posture. As a result of this and stom- ach trouble, I was completely run down during the spring of 1903 and fell an easy victim to an attack of rheumatism. had the services of two doctors in Detroit, who, after attending me for several months, said l could never get we'll. By this time was helpless, my entire body seemed to be paralyzed and 1 couldn't move my arms or legs.
 "The doctors advised me to go to my old home in Custer, where l could be cared for during the remaining days or weeks I had to live. My lodge met me and l went home, where l had a nurse and employed our family phys ician to give me what aid he could, al- though he agreed with the doctors of Detroit, that could not live.
 "As I lay in bed I thought there must be something radically wrong in the treatment l was getting. had no desire to quit life at my age and de- cided to try Dr Williams Pink Pills, which l had heard some relatives say they had used. l bought one dozen boxes and commenced to take them at once, following the directions Tn every particular. For two weeks it was a life and death struggle, but Dr Will liams' Pink Pills finally won, for l be- gan to have some feeling in my feet. After using the pills steadily for six weeks l could walk across the room and six weeks later was doing light work. My friends and doctors were dumb founded at my recovery. That was nearly four years ago and to-day lam more men than l used to and am working longer and harder than any of them. l have great faith | in Dr Williams Pink Pills and take pleaure in recommending them"
 Dr Williams Pink Pills make rich, red blood, enabling it to carry life and strength to the weak nerves and other tissues of the body. They are specific for such diseases and anaemia, rheu- matism, the after-effects of the grip and levers, and.for such nervous dis eases as dizziness, sick headaches, neuralgia, and have accomplished mi raculous results even in partail paral- ysis and locomotor ataxia. <
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
