Scared About New York.

Walter Wellman wires from New
York to the Chicago Record Herald us
follows:
Having made extensive inquiries as
to the state of public feeling here in
New York deem it my duty to point
out that there is nothing sure about the
verdict of New York, doubt does exist.
The well nigh decisive thirty-nine
electoral votes of the state are yet to be
fought for. Thare are elements which
threaten unpleasant surprises for those
who have settled down into the com
Portable belief that the state is safe and
sure. 1t is impossible to study the con-
ditions now existing here without com
ing to the conclusion that their net
effect is to help the democrats. If we
compare the Bryan of 1896 and 1900
with the Bryan of today in the opinions
of the people of New York, he has gain
ed tremendously. Evidence of this is
found in the well known indifference of
banking and commercial men to the
outcome of the present election. Those
who are republicans are as rule
against Bryan, but not savagely. They
no longer look upon his possible election
rs fore.runner of the national disaster.
They are not spending money to de.
feat him. Many business men who
in the Bryan campaigns of the past
have worked energetically for the re-
publican ticket will this year stay Mt
home on election day or vote for Bryan
himself

SENSATION
IN SUIT FILED
FOR RELIEF
Prominent Woman of the
County Charges Ad-
ministratOr With Seri-
Gus Misconduct

Charging practically peculation in
the management of the estate of the
late James +. McDougal, Mrs. jean
nette McDougal. his wife. yesterday
filed sensational petition In the dis
trict court asking that William H.
Smith be discharged from his posi-
ton as administrator The petition
was In form of an affidavit.
Affiant first alleges that she with
William Thomas, IL years old son
of Catherine Mcdonald Thomas. de-
ceased. were the only rightful heirs
to the estate. Further she alleges
that the value of the estate when ap-
praised by inventory August ~.
1907, was $17.7S9.37, of which ST.
747S7 was in Eureka bank, while
SIS, ,49150 was in an Elko banking In
stitution. There were no outstanding
debts against 1t and the reason. she
alleges, that Smith was first made ad-
ministrator was that she was In
doubt as to the manner In which she
should proceed and applied to him as
her next nearest neighbor for advice
| He agreed to manage the estate for
her and was appointed by the court
at her request.
She affirms that the administrators

dealings to the court and intimates
cause. In October last she elleges
that he disposed of 200 head of cat
| tie without an order of the court.
as she believes, for $3.50 each.
This Was done over her protest. He
then told her he would sell all of
the horses on her home ranch but
her refusal to accede to his demands
checkmated this move on his part
He has taken a portion of her horses
to his own ranch and has refused to
return them to her, she alleges
She alleges further petty annoy
ances put upon her by Smith such as
taking for his own use the only
available work horse upon her ranch
and keeping 1t for week at time
when she was anxious to have wood
hauled Also attempting 10 take
from her a hired man.
Afiant further declares that Smith
told her young grandchild that she
was a liar and that he would sell the
ranch and put them both in the sage
! brush and told the child to tell her,
She therefore requests that Smith
and his attorney. Henry K. Mitchell.
of Eureka. be commanded to appear
before the district court on May 9.
1908, and after an accounting is had
that they be discharged from admin
istration of the estate. The petition
is filed by Walker & Foreman, her at
torney5.
Mrs McDougal was in Ely Sunday
with james Momano for the purpose
of filing the petition.
All OF the parties in the action are
prominent in the county, residing
near the Eureka county line where
both own large ranches. Mr.. Smith
is especially prominent being we'll
known both as a raneher and poll
tician in his home district.

MAGIC OF THE BASS.

Memories of the Battle That Linaer
With the Angler.
'"The Indians call it Media Mon-nuh-
she-gan,' which translated means mag
ic bass. He is said to be much like
other black bass in appearance But
his peculiar attributes are these:
He must be caught by casting. with
surface bait. so that you can see him
rise to it. He may be taken in running
water where the clear current foams
over messy powders and through CUR
Cling, sunlit shadows or in the silent
pools where the forest hangs darby
over the stream. He may be taken at
some still lakes grassy marge. where
the water lilies build him a green and
white and golden canopy. or in the
open places when the west winds
magic turns the CLASSY surface into
silver.
"But wherever you find him you will
see that nature rules supreme. And
whether in brawling stream or quiet
pool, in some peaceful lilied bay or just
beneath the rippled broad expanse.
where the wild beauty of the spot
makes your heart beat faster, here
may you find the magic bass.
'And this is his magic: That when
you have fought him inch by inch and
have looked upon him as he lay ex-
hausted in your landing net you are
| his forever For wherever you go and
whatever you do there will come to
you ever and often dream of his first
leap into the air, of the Juggling line
and of his body at your feet and indis:
tinct behind It all lie the sparkling wa.
ter and the forest and the blue sky.
''In the dead of winter you will of a
sudden hear the soft splash of the bass
rising to your fly, you will feel the sud
den tautness of the line. and the snow
outside your window will melt into 9
summer landscape. When you are
busiest there will come to you the song
of the reel and the smell of pine anG
fir and balsam. That is the magic
of the Media -nuh-she- gam
ing Magazine.

THE AER0PLANE.
Keeping Il Properly Balanced Is Dir

Keeping It Properly Balanced Is Dif
ficult Art.
An aeroplane may be defined as
surface propelled horizontally in such
manner that the resulting pressure
of air, from beneath prevents it's fall
ing. A balloon can remain stationary
over given spot in calm. but an
aeroplane must be kept in motion if
it is to remain in the air. Such plane
literally runs on the air like skater
gliding over thin ice The most ia
miiar example of an aeroplane is the
kite of our boyhood days. We all re-
member how we kept it aloft even in
light breeze by running with it
against the wind. Substitute the pull
of propeller for the cord and tile
aeroplane flying machine is created
If this were all, the problem of arti-
fetal fight would have been solved long
ago. There remains the s,lpremely
difficult art of balancing the plane SO
that it will skate on an even keel.
Even birds find it hard to maintain
this stability. In the constant effort
to steady himself hawk sways from
side to side as he scars, like an aero
bat on tight rope. Occasionally a
bird will catch the wind on the top
of his wing, with the result that he
will capsize and fall some distance be-
fore. he can recover himself. If the
living aeroplanes of nature find the
feat of balancing so difficult. is it any
wonder that men have been killed in
endeavoring to discover their secret?
If you have ever sailed a canoe you
will readily understand what this task
Of balancing an aeroplane really means.
AS the pressure Of the wind on your
sail heels your canoe over you must
climb out on the outrigger far enough
for your weight to counterbalance the
wind pressure. so that you will not be
upset. The physicist scientifically ex-
plains your achievement by stating
that you have succeeded in keeping the
center of air pressure and the center
of gravity on the same straight line.
In a canoe the feat is comparatively
easy; in an aeroplane it demands con,
slant and flashlike shifting of the
body, because the sudden slight varia-
lions of the wind must be Immediately
