w. c. Russell, who has been in the
East for a month past on mining
business, returned yesterday. His
time was principally spent in and
about New York City. He reports
business as Frightening very materi-
ally. Bank reserves in New York
are the greatest in the history of
those financial institutions. Plenty
of money can be secured at Az per
cent. Money, however, for specula-
tive purposes is still being held
tightly, though many brokers AMI
bankers intimate that it will not be
long before it loosens up.
Mr.. Russell will remain in Nevada
for a few weeks, when he will again
return to New York City.

power to prevent 9oyer.capitalization in
stocks and bonds. to destroy monopoly,
and to prevent combinations harmful to
the public, upon the very claim that he
makes to the people. of this state for
their suffrage is that he is today en-
gagged in enterprises every one &c which
is based either upon the tariff and free
grazing Of the public domlin from
which he proposes to, exclnde his weaker
competitors, or investments in enter
prises such as the Reno Power and

thu laundry company and the beef
packing company. all Of them meritor
ioas enterprises in them selves if they
were not accompanied by gross over
capitalization in stocks and bonds
which Mr.. Flanagan, of al men has
most promoted. -
Mr.. Flanagan lives and breathes in
an atmosphere Of combination ANA
monopoly, which is the only method by
which he seeks to acquire power and
fortune. Can we permit such man
to go to the United States senate at a
time when the people are engaged in .
great m1ral revolution against" the
very abuses which he seeks to promote.
Mr.. P. L. Flanagan in his speech at
Reno Saturday night, repeated an as
sertion made at Sparks few nights
previously to the effect that Senator
Newlands had atteinpted'to induce w.
w. Booher of Elko, to print certain
dodgers and that Mr. Booher indignant
ly refused to do so. Il,
This assertion. like many others, has
been nailed and branded as false.
Following is an extract from
Flanagan s speech at Reno.
''In starting out my campaign, L did
so with the feeling that my opponent
was a gentleman in every sense of the
word, but i'll every town 1 spoke was
met by yellow dodgers making charges
against me, gotten out by Senator
Newlands or some of his lieutenants,
probably inspired by the senator

Newlands, am running a democratic
paper but I know Mr.. Flanagan and I
refuse to print circular of that char
acter." Then Mr.. Newlands went to
Wells and the Wells Herald was hired
to print the circulars" -.
-. The attention of w. w. Booher, the
Elko editor referred to, was called to
this statement by wire Sunday. He
wired from Elko under date November
1, 1908, at'10:35 a. m. The following:
"Flanigan's statement is a malicious
lie and anyone who believes it is fool.
If anyone so informed Flanagan, he is a
liar. Newlands has not asked me to
print anything in this campaign. Will
make affidavit if necessary. Make
any use you please of this "W. w.

FLANIGAN'S FALSE
CLAIMS
RENO, NEVADA, Nov. 1.
INDEPENDENT,

INDEPENDENT, :...
Elko, Nevada.
Senator Flanagan in his speeches and
in his so-called "White answers" over
his signature, declares that the 8 hour
law against which he voted was de-
fective because it included sheep and
cattle men, farm hands, teamsters, etc,
to whom it was inapplicable. This is
false. The bill against which he voted
was identical with the 8 hour law which
later passed the legislature, except in
one particular, viz: That the penalty
for it's violation was 500, instead of $50
as in the bill that actually passed. Mr..
Flanagan has stated Il deliberate false
hood, as the record shows. If he is
false in one thing, he must be false in
all.
Mr.. Flanagan claims this that through
certain enterprises ne has created en-
ployment for 4S7 persons, with a pay
roll for 1907 of $5G4,00O. What are
these enterprises2 First, The Reno
Power and Light Company, great
over-capitalized combination, whose
over-capitalization he stimulated, associ-
ating with him the Fleischhackers who
now own almost the entire enterprise;
and yet Flanagan claims that the en-
ployes of this corporation are practic-
ally his personal employees.
Another enterprise is the Reno Laun-
dry Company, also organized according
to trust methods, his own laundry hav-
ing been consolidated with the Troy
and French laundries in such q way as
to bring about ~ system of excessive
charges in Reno for laundry work.
Flanagan is one of this comb nation,
altogether lacking merit us an enter
prise and descrvingly conspicuous only
rs an adaptation of trust methods to
Reno industry. And although he owns
but II part of this. he claims that these
employees are his personal employees.
Then comes the beef packing industry,
employing some 40 men, in which Flani-
gan, by over speculation of every kind,
now owns only about Is. He claims
all these employees US his personal em'
ploycS' anu Ncb, VillS Deel-puCkllS liz
dustry is but another imitation of trust
methods. 1t is we'll knows that this
beef-packing company has sought to
drive out all the independent butchers,
to establish butcher shops by their side
in competition with them unless the
independent butchers accepted the pack,
ing house beef
In all these enterprises Flanagan has
reached out for large fortunes by trust
methods which the progressive thought
of all parties now seek to correct.
The claims as to his interests are OK
aggeratCd. He credits to himself the
capital and power of others. But al.
though he has failed to become the
leading factor in all of them, his pur.
pose was unmistakablc and that was tt
establish trust methods in every occupa
tion with which he was identified t.
over capitalize the business and force

F. Hprris of Glendale, st. Louis coun-
tv, cung for Is minutes to the ice
through which she had fallen, while
her body swayed in water 70 feet deep,
in the private lake at the country
home of c.. w. Barstow the other Gay.
She was rescued by a rope thrown
from shore, IS feet away, after her re-
markable case seemed hopeless. Dur
ing the time, which to her seemed in
terminable, she followed infinitely the
instructions of J. P. Eyers, who finally
pulled her ashore. She kept her senses
despite the excited shouts of men and
screams of women ashore.
Myrtle was returning from school
with Harold Lester, her neighbor and
little sweetheart. AS they passed the
lake, covered with ice, Myrtle could
not resist the temptation to demon
strate to her little friend how grace
fully she could glide over the smooth
surface. Laughingly, she slid out to
the center of the pond. Her weight
fell on the ice directly over deep
well, around which the lake was
created, the fresh waters of which hal
partially melted through, and she went
down.
She called TO her companion for
help, but he was dumbfounded The
lake is close to the store of Mr. Evers,
who heard her cries and fastened to
the scene with two lengths of common
clothesline. When he saw her pre-.
dicament he told her to keep quiet
and not attempt to raise herself above
the water, fearing it would break
