CARSON MAN
HAS SAD NEWS
Of the Sudden Death OF
His Aged Mother in
Far-AWay-Lands

John Cation of this city today re-
ceived letter from his old home in
Canada conveying the intelligence
that his mother, Mrs. John Cation of
Beech Ridge, Lower Canada, had died
there suddenly of heart failure on the
9Th of the present month.
Mrs. Cation was 76 years of age
and had been enjoying the best of
health. Some time ago the home was
struck by lightning and part of the
buildings were burned. The shock
affected the lady to a marked degree
but no fears were entertained as to
her condition and her sudden death
has come as a severe blow to her
family.
The deaceased lady has two sons
living in this city, John and William
Cation and the sympathy of their
many friends is extended to them in
their sorrow.

either side, instead of being turned
from its course along the rails, the
wheel bent the spike in a v shape
turning 1t to one side and passed
safely over the point of contact.
Neither Engineer Pohl nor Fireman
Savage was aware of the danger
ahead and with a rush the heavily
laden train swept by.
What the reason for such an at
tempt could be remains a mystery on
the part Of the officials Of the road
and the county and city authorities.
When seen last night after the mat
ter had become known the engineer
nor the fireman of. the train could
throw no light ON the matter.
Shelf Ferrel said: Il don't know
what to say regarding such a fearful
thing; l do not understand it and un-
til l know more, as time may develop
l am at a loss to express myself. 1t
certainly shows what kind Of people
are about us here, and to what ex-
treems some men will resort for some
purpose. 1t is frightful to contem-
plate.
Chief of Police Burke in speaking
Of the affair said: mo one has yet
been under suspicion. l do not
know what could have prompted any
one to do it. 1t certainly looks bad
and the matter will be investigated
without any let-up until something
Is run doyn."
Last night the spike itself, which
was sent to Manager Yerington, was
forwarded to Reno by Mr.. Yerington
superintendent and general manager
of the v. and T. railroad company, &C
companied by the following letter:
Herewith I am handing you the
spike placed between the ends OF the
rails at the north end of our bridge
in Reno with the evident intention OF
causing trouble, but fortunately the
engine struck it in such a way as to
prevent an accident, night before
last. Yours very truly.

GEO. A. BARTLETT.
OUR CONGRESSMAN
For Law and Order Always and
In the Interest of all Classes
Nevada First and Last

The denomination Of George A..
Bartlett for Congress is a fitting cor
ollary to the declared principles Of
the Democratic Party.
George A. Bartlett is not only a
sincere and honest man, but he is
likewise a manly, straightforward
man, doing what he believes is just
and right in accord with the common
interests of his fellow citizens. His
nomination was in accord with the
great common sense of the State.
In every essential respect his rec
ord in Congress is good, high class,
straightforward and absolutely in the
interest Of the people in behalf of
legislation that was considered where
the welfare of the workers and busi-
ness ends were involved.
His great support of measures and
means that brought peace to Nevada
and established security for all in
terests, laborers, miners and business
common sense and the progressive
requirements of the normal and or
derly development of the great re-
sources of Nevada.
Whenever, under a misguided idea,
a body of individuals attempts to do
that which is contrary to the civil
law, which fixes the relationships of
citizen to citizen, they do that which
is folly and bring about ruin for them
selves as well as general chaos. At
all times during his official and pub
lie career, George Bartlett has stood
for the just enforcement of law and a
square deal for every right and in
terest within the State and Nation.
The mine workers of Nevada owe
the presentation of the right as much
to Bartlett as to any other man in the
State.
Even Republican opposition to
George Bartlett is thoughtless. He is
entitled to the full and undivided sup
port of Nevada. With honest men,
he commands this support AS an
able, fearless, public man, he is wor-
thy of this united support. On his
record as a member of Congress,
without flaw or fault, and as the pop
ular representative of the State,
with an able, influential and success
full record in accomplishing salutary
legislation for the benefit of the min
ers and mining and agricultural in
terests of the West he is worthy OF
the greatest vote that was ever re-
corded for q candidate in Nevada.
We are for Bartlett because we rec
ognize him as a manly, honest man,
one Of sincere conviction, ever daring
to do what he believes is his duty in
the rightful sense to do.
Human affairs advance by gradual
transitions, and the course that
George Bartlett has pursued is In ac-

STATE OFF,
CIAL RESIGNS
Warden Day Of the State
Prison Prison Creates
Surprise by Resigning

Late yesterday afternoon Warden
S. H. Day of the Nevada State Prison
handd in his resignation to the prison
board to become effective on the last
day of the present month. While
the action of the Warden came as a
surprise to his many friends in this
city a few have anticipated this move
for some time past. Who his sue
cessor will be has not yet been an
nounced but he will probably be nam
ed in few days by the board.
S. H. Day was appointed to the posi-
tion by the late Governor John
Sparks to succeed j. l.. Considine.
Today rumors are rife in regard to
the cause of the action of the Warden
but it has been known for some time
that there were certain forces work
ing against him and for his removal
from office.
Mr.. Day has made an excellent
Warden of the State Penitentiary and
more discipline is noted at that in
stitution than in many years past.
1t is also said that already num-
ber of applicants have filed notice
with the board that they would be
pleased to accept the wardenship,
which is by far the best appointive
position in the state, but it is believed
that the successor of Warden Day
has already been chosen.
Mr.. Day has had noting to say re-
garding the matter except that he
desired to resign from the position.

dealers also agree to forfeit fine OF
$500 to the association if they sell
at lower rate. They have fixed
a rate of $18 to the ton for coal anu
$1.G5 by the sack. The high price
charged is based on the fact that
the strike of coal miners in Wy
