Mr.. John Hill. It was rented out for
number Of years, and after Mr.
Hills death was sold, when Mr.. ID.
G. Livingston, the present owner,
bought it,
Mr.. Livingston has remodelled the
house, and it is now an attractive and
commodious DWELLING.
AS stated above Mr. II. J. Maffctt
was for many years the only mcr-
chant at Silver Street. The fact is
that MIR. Maffett owned great deal
of the land in and around Silver
Street and would not sell to anyone
else. Mrs. Maffctt still lives at the
old homestead and retains the plan
tatlon. MIR. E. II. Longshore who has
recently moved from Silver Street to
Ncwbcrry and the Spcarmans who
have also moved away owned large
tracts of land in and adjoining the
town and they also declined to sell.
This is a very fine section of the
country and has adjacent a great deal
of prosperous farming lands and
should be most desirable business
location. No doubt if those people
who own the real estate in the town
and adjacent to it would be willing
to cut it up into small tracts and
lots that purchasers would easily be
found, and this would soon be q
much more important trading section
than it is at present.

Don't Kill the Birds,

boys and young men in some OF
the INNINGS towns and hamlets have
evidently forgotten that splendid les
son in one of the school readers about
saving the birds, judging from the
ruthless and heartless destruction OF
the sweet songsters.
1t is painful sight to go on the
premises of the mines and see the
lifeless forms OF hundreds of robbins
and other native birds, the result. of
the practice of young men and boys
to amuse themselves in shooting them
merely to see them fall dead to the
ground.
Harmless are all such birds and
their existence in any neighborhood
makes the place cheerful, even If that
place be as dreary as most mining
hamlts are with smoke and dust from
the mines, and it is not only wicked
to kill them but It is also against the
state law.
The practice has grown to such an
extent that the game warden's atten-
ton has been arrested and his depu-
ties in this county are on the look
out for violators, with a determine
ton to run down those who have for
gotten the don't kill the birds" les
son and bring them to justice.
Calling attention to this may not
break up the cruel practice, but. a
few examples before the bar of JUS
tice will break 1t up, and the Tele-
gram believes the deputy game war
dens are going to get busy along this
line at once.

News that Swishef viii never be

all party newspapers the fact. that

comes permanent and OF such SER

in jeopardy:
The Dispateh-News may believe

1t is hard to account for the tnsati-

the trail OF Mr. swlsher. heaping ven

anything but respectful charity for

indefinitely and uselessly campaign
worthy of the finest shaft of the
character assassin, and in keeping
with methods wholly unworthy of
the man who calls himself even the
meanest type OF Republican. II Mr..
scherr is nominated. as the Dispatch
News boasts, why not pursue a
course calculated to heal rather
than widen the breach created by
the fire-eating tactics which have
characterized the conduct of the
newspapers that have opposed Mr..
Swisher's nomination?
Aye, why not? Simply because
Mr.. Swisher's traducers realize that
he has pledged to his support num-.
Der of delegates sufficient to insure
his nomination. The newspapers
which are SO violent in their denun-
citation of Mr.. Swisher, and so unreal

the interests OF Mr.. Scherr know
that the only hope OF the latter dies

that Mr.. Swisher cannot be elected,

1t is not for the Dispatch to ac-
cuse Its Parkersburg contemporary
of insincerity in It's attitude. But

An Estimate Of Cleveland.

The estimate Of Grover Cleveland
and his services to the country, as
made by President Theodore Roose-
Wit in brief in the proclamation issued
by him officially announcing the death
OF the ex-President, is much said in
little-a feeling tribute paid in few
words, and will be appreciated by the
admirers of the distinguished dead.
The proclamation follows:
BY the President of the United States
f, :. a Proclamation.
The White House, June "a, 1908.
To the People of the United States:
Grover Cleveland, President of the
United States from 1885 to 1889 and
from 1898 to 1897, died at $40
o'clock this morning at his home in
Princeton. New Jersey. In his death
the nation has beben deprived of one
of its greatest citizens. BY profess
sion a lawyer, his chief services to
his country were rendered during a
long, varied and honorable career in
public life. AS mayor of his city, as
governor of his state, and twice as
President. he showed signal power as
an administrator, coupled with entire
devotion to the country's good and a
courage that quailed before no hos
tility when once he was convinced
where his duty lay. Since his retire
ment from the Presidency he has con-
tinued well and faithfully to serve
his countrymen by the simplest and
uprightness of his private life.
In testimony of the respect in
which his memory is held by the gov
eminent and people of the United
States, / do hereby direct that the
flags on the White House and the sew
eral department buildings be display
ed at half-staff for period of thirty
days; and that suitable. military and
naval honors, under the orders of the
.secretries of war and of the navy, be
rendered on the day of the funeral.
Done this twenty-fourth day of
June in the year OF our Lord. one
thousand nine hundred and eight, and
of the independence of the United
States of merica, the one-hundred and
thirty-scond.

NIEDER, PRESIDENT
AGAIN ELECTED HEAD OF
EXCISE BOARD.
License Fee to Remain at $400-Total
Receipts Were seoa,90o, Leaving
Balance of $591 600.

At the reorganization of the Excise
Board yesterday. John Nieder was re-
elected president by reclamation, WILL
lam Dignan and William b. Tompkins
were appointed license inspectors and
Leopold Heller clerk.
1t was unanimously decided to con-
tinue the retail license fee at $500 for
this year.
The income of the board for the year
1907 was $6OS. 900, and disbursements
less than $12, 600, leaving a balance of
1891, 900, a net increase of more than
$117, 900. There was a decrease of thir-
teen licenses for the year.
Commissioners otto and Edwin B.
Smith spoke at length during the meet
ing, expressing qualification that the re-
ceipts were so great. The increase in re-
ceipts did not result from an increase In
the number Of saloons. There has been
a falling off of thirteen in the total num-
Der Of licenses granted,
Prior to last April the Excise Board ap-
pointed by Mayor Henry M. Doremus held
office and granted 29 retail and whole
sale licenses, at $500 each.
The present board, named by Mayor
Jacob uaussling, reduced the license fee
to $500 for retail and wholesale licenses
and maintained the $3.50 fee for bottlers
allowed under a special statute. In the
major part OF 1906 the wholesale and re-
tail fee was $3.50. In 1908 the fee for sa-
loon licenses will remain at $500; transfers,
single and double, at $40. and bottlers' IL
cense at $3.50. The receipts for 1908 can
not reach the total for last year by many
thousands of dollars.
I'm the year that has just closed" said
Commissioner Smith, 1.-THE Excise Board
has been able to administer it's office APP
parently with satisfaction to all. We have
listened to every protest that has been
laid before us. We have acted on applica-
tons only after careful consideration.

at our meetings fairly and observe the

CITY MINUS CITIZENS
HAWTHORNE WAS ONCE
SEAT OF COUNTY.
Goldfeld's Rich Mines Emptied Thriv-
ing Nevada Town of All It's
Residents.

CARSON CITY, New, Jan. laid
out upon the desert floor like a city
of the dead, it's streets stretching
silently from one end of the town to
another, past the vacant houses which
gaze with ghastly, open mouths upon
their neighbors long since untenanted,
is the city of Hawthorne, or what once
was Hawthorne, in Esmeralda County,
Nevada.
Deserted utterly, standing out on the
desolate plain, surrounded by no vege-
tation save the monotonous Nevada
sage brush; abandoned in the flush of
her youth by a people who had left an
other mining centre even as now they
have deserted her; no trees lining the
silent streets; no sound save the far
off howl of an occasional coyote as he
crouches in and out among the graves
of the cemetery, where the very head
stones are shifting and drifting in the
burning sands; the buildings warping
and bleaching under the desert sun;
her very blenish magnified by the
curious desert atmosphere, the rarity
of which lends a weird, mirage, effect
to the view-stands this city of mem
ory. once a power in the State of
Nevada, now forlorn and forgotten.
When the Legislature decreed that
the centre of government of the largest
county in Nevada should be removed
from Hawthorne and taken to Gold
field, the residents of the former city
were reminded pathetically that ito
him that hath shall be given Cold
field, with her 10000 inhabitants, with
her mines that rival Golconda's treas
ures, with her railroad terminal facili-
ties. could easily offset her unfortunate
location in the extreme n of the
county,.

IGNORES BOSSES
TRENTON MAYOR FAILS TO
CONSULT THEM ON JOBS.
Says They Did Not Support Him in
Fight-Proposition to Gust Soldier
from Office stirs Hornets Nest.

TRENTON, Jan. 2.-Trenton's change Of
municipal government from Republican to
Democratic control Yesterday was attended
by a lively row between DR.. Walter Mad
den, the Democratic Mayor-elect, and the
Iold-line Democratic leaders; also by a bit
ter fight between the Republicans and
Democrats over the propositions to Dust an
old soldier from the office Of deputy tax
receiver.
Mayor Madden aroused the ire of his
Democratic associates by refusing to con-
fer with them over his appointments. He
declared that they had deserted him, and
devoted their entire attention to the cam
paign of Frank s. K~atzenbach, jr., for
Governor, previous to the late election.
and that on that account he was under nc
obligations to any of them. The retort of
the managers was that he could not have
had the nomination without their consent.
AS n result of the break, Charles H.. Gal
lagher, a member of the Democratic State
Committee, and leader of the party in Mer-
Ger County, refused to meet the new Mayor
and also declined to exchange the
compliments of the season with him. Mr..
Gallagher also refused to go on the bond
of Tax Receiver Walter J. Berrien, and de-
clared that he had washed his hands of the
whole Madden administration
DIR. Madden, however, rer.sjined firm in
MS postum ana SeHl W INC OuuASlA thS
following nominations: For Police Com
missioner, George B. LeBarrei for Fire
Commissioner, ChaMes G.. Cook; for L.
brary Commission, Rabbi Nathan Stern,
replacing Henry W. Green, member OF the
board of trustees of Princeton University;
for Park Commissioner, Edward A. Cur
ran; for Assessor, Benjamin A. Godshalk.
The Council reorganized at noon, electing
John d. Howell as president. MIR. Howell
is a Republican, a majority of the Coun-
Gil being of that political faith, in spite
Of Democratic gains last election.
Tax Receiver Berrien sent in the name
Of three deputies, but the Council refused
to tndorse them on the ground that Cap
tain James Barber, whom Berrien seeks
to replace. is an old soldier and holds his
job for life under the veterans act. Ber-
rien refused to change his determination
in this matter and the question will be
fought out in the courts.
Mayor Madden sent in a strong message,
recommending better water, better trolley
service, better schools, public Fairgrounds
ana calling for n reduction OF taxi bills
and general reform in city government.
