Up to the present time Miss Florence

we'll for the liberality of our citizens,

the liberality with which their solicita-

At a meeting last Sunday it was de-
cided to erect either brick or cement

handsome ornamentation to Fallon, be-
sides being house of worship for those
of that faith and there are many such
in Fallon and adjacent territory.

Certainly with pleasure, said Mr..
Kern. 'But to make sure you had
better shake hands with that man over
there-that one with the side whiskers.
That's Mr.. Sherman.
The stranger did as suggested, and
presently the long sinewy hands of the
second man on the Democratic ticket
was .grasped in the plump one of his
Republican opponent. They smiled,

No one who reads the Journal
of the Senate of Nevada for
1901 can escape the conclusion
that P. L. Flanagan is a political
hypocrite, for by word and deed
he is there revealed as a persist.
ent. unrelenting and vindlctive
foe to the worklngman.
Flanagan worked against and
helped to kill two of the best bills
ever proposed in the interests OF
labor in Nevada. He did it in
the Nevada Senate in 1901,
where he was sent by the to.lers
who believed him to be the friend
OF the down-trodden and oppres-
sed. These bills were the EIGHT
HOUR acts.
Here is the record found in the
Senate Journal for the 80th ses-
sion.
February 6, 1901, Assembly
! Bill No. 7 was introduced IN the
Senate, having passed the lower
house unanimously. 1t was rail-
roaded into committee reported
unfavorably and killed February

the bill IN committee and his vote
helped to kill that bill. Assem-
bly, Bill No. z was entitled: AN
ACT REGULATING THE
EMPLOYMENT IN UNDER
GROUND MINES AND Smell.
TEkS AND ORE REDUCTION
WORKS.
On March 8, 1901, Assembly
Bill No. 85 was introduced in the
Senate, having passed the lower
house. 1t was railroaded also,
knitted in committee andon March
l3, 1901, Senator flanagan help.
ed to kill that bill on the floor OF
the Senate by his vote. Assem-.
bly, Bill No. IS was entitled: AN
ACT REGULATING THE
| HOURS OF EMPLOYMENT OF
OPERATORS OR ENGINEERS
OF MINING HOSTS.
While these bills were pend
ing, broken-down miners anG
millmen appeared before thu
Senate to bear witness that long
hours of labor in the choking
ore dust of mills and smelter!
doomed them to an early death
that the pounding Of the stamps
made them deaf; that the jar Of
the machines ruined their nerve
systems and that they were en-
shaved by their work not only il
their labor but in their very lives

MINT TO RESUME PURCHASES
Director Leach Is to Buy l25 ,000
Ounces Weekly Owing to
Demand for Coins.

WASHINGTON, Oct, director
of the Mint Leach, announced to-day
that he would resume the purchase of
fine silver, for subsidiary coinage this
week. He states that he expects to
purchase about l25, 900 ounces a week
for an indefinite period.
The first purchase may not be made
until early next week. Director Leach
said that he was confident that the pur-
chase would be made so long as there
was an active demand for the coin.
The mint now has on hand only about
s. 600, 600 OF of fine silver and this supply
would soon be exhausted at the present
rate of demand.
For several months prior to the late
financial stringency the mints had been
operated to their full capacity, but the
demand fell off until there was an ac-
cumulation In the Treasury on April
last of about s27, ,oOO, 900 in standard
dollars and $25, 900, 900 in subsidiary
coins.
Early in the summer the call for sill
yer dollars became more active and
soon the supply became practically ex-
hausted. Attention was then directed
to the halves and other subsidiary coins
with the result that now there is only
1921, 900, 900 available, notwithstand-
ing that in September $635,oo0 in sill
was coined and added to the stock on
hand.
Mr.. Leach expects still stronger
demand when the cotton crop begins to
move and the decision to purchase
moro silver Is In anticipation Of the
demand.
