Gov. Stuart's Story.

Gov. Stuart. Of Pennsylvania, APP
proaches public speaking with diff
dence. This feeling never left him,
despite his four years as mayor of
Philadelphia. However, his long and
hard gubernatorial campaign gave him
greater confidence in himself, and to-
day he makes a strong and powerful
public address. But he never attempts
even a short address without first re-
ferring to the fact that he is not an
orator, and thus prepares his audi
ence for a surprise. The other day.
introducing himself to the students at
Pennsylvania State college, he told this
story: .'...
There was a loQuacious Scottish
dominic who always had something to
say to his parishioners. 1t was a rainy
Sunday. Mrs. Mcpherson found her
way through the rain to the church.
The preacher, coming down the aisle,
approached the regular attendant, and
said: It's wet day. Mrs McPhcr

Buckaro. Jack MAY No, H,pu

Buckaroo Jack, the Indian murderer
sentenced to hang at the state prison
on next Friday noon, may be re-
prieved and confined for the remain
der of his days in. the state prison.
A special meeting of the state board
of pardons has been called for Thurs
day, the day Before the execution, and
at that time his case will be consid-
cred and final action taken. 1t is
rumored that several members of the
board of pardons oppose the hanging
of the Indian and the likelihood is
that the sentence of death will be
commuted to life Imprisonment by
the board. In spite of this Warden
Maxwell is making all the necessary
preparations to carry out the mandate
Of the law on next Friday in case
the board des not step in and stop
the proceedings.
The principal ground for the COM
mutation of the sentence to life inn
prisonment is the Indian moral code
and punishment for the violation there.

Under the Indian laws such infidelity
is punishable with the death of the
squaw whenever and wherever the
husband may find her. Buckaroo Jack
followed the teaching and laws of
his tribe and he shot her to death in
cold blood
He wtis tried and found guilty of
the crime and sentenced to he hang

and the Indian again sentenced to

One of the features of the election
IN Nevada was the number of hats
Sam Davis, the State publicity COM

thought Bryan's election was a fore
gone, conclusion, and everywhere he
went he bet $500 hat. He made a
political speech at Winnemucca near
the close of the campaign and after
that he bet two hats. where he had
been betting one before.
Now demands are coming in for
hats from Sam, his Republican friends
being at the smiling end of the de-
mand, and Sam is busy keeping up.
Yesterday he shipped to Goldfield a
bunch of lawmakers that were worn
by farmhands on his ranch in the
summer Of 1885. He has also bought
from Carson hat IMAM a whole cargo
Of those white hats that were worn by
Blaine men in 1884.
What he would have done with the
deluge of hats he would have got had
Bryan been elected is hard to say, but
it is more than probable that every

"a private letter from reliable
source says a company of soldiers from
Fort Churchill has arrived at Virginia
City and has compelled a number of
supposed secessionists to take the oath

In reference t0 the first one it will be
seen that Gold Hill, even with the
primitive mining methods of those days,
was not much behind Goldfeld in pro
duction.
The second item tells of Fort
Churchill's soldiers compelling Virginia
City copperheads to take the oath Of
