Cleveland's Warning Against False
Prophets.

Following is an extract from
Grover Cleveland's last public ad-
dress, made before the Union
League Club, Chicago, February %,
1907
If we find that the wickedness
of destructive agitation and the
selfish depravity Of demagOgues
have stirred up discomfort and
strife where there should be peace
and harmony, and have arrayed
against each other interests that
should be in hearty cooperation; if
we find that the old standards of
sturdy uncompromising American
honesty have become so cOrroded
and weakened by sOrdid atmos-
phere that our people are hardly
startled by crime in high places and
shameful betrayals of trust every
where; if we find a sadly prevalent
disposition among us to turn from
the highway of honorable industry
into shorter crossroads leading to
irresponsible and worthless ease; if
we find that widespread usefulness
and extravaganza have discredited
the wholesome frugality which was
once the pride of Americanism, we
should recall Washington'S admoni-
ton that harmony. industry and
frugality are essential pillars of
public felicity and forthwith en-
deavor to change our course"

MUST
NOW STAND TRIAL
JUDVE O'BRIEN OVERRULES DE
MURRER AND REQUIRES DE-
PENDANT TO PLEAD.

Judge O'Brien yesterday afternoon
handed down a decision in the case
of T. B. Hickey, president of the
State Bank and Trust company,
charged with embezzlement, over
ruling the demurrer and the banker
will now have to stand trial.
The indictment in this ase charges
the defendant, T. B. Hickey, with the
| crime Of embezzlement, for having,
! on October 81, 1907, received from
Peter Hertel the sum of 5000 as a
general deposit in the State Bank
and Trust company, of which bank he
was the president, knowing the said
bank to be insolvent at the time of
the receipt of said deposit.
The defendant has interposed a
demurrer to this Indictment, upon
various statutory grounds, and by
this demurrer he challenges the legal
sufieiency of the indictment. For the
purpose Of testing the s%ufficiency of
the indictment on demurrer the allie
cations thereof must be considered as
true, and being true, the question
then presents itself, do the facts al
legged in this indictment constitute a
public offense for which the defend
ant can be tried under the laws Of
Nevada?
Counsel for defendant contends
that the banking act adopted by thu
legislature of this state, in 1907, ant
under which act this prosecution /
n being conducted, is special Legislation
h and therefore unconstitutional be
cause 1t applies to bankers only an

,r prescribed acts. His argument is tha
the act in question making a Grim
for bankers only to receive deposit
after they are insolvent is class legil
lation because II makes bankers alor
subject to punishment for acts th'
ce would not be criminal or punishab
in if committed by others.

Wy returns of the high quality that
only can be produced in the dry, mild
climate found here. Though the acre
age under cultivation this year is
larger han at any time in the past,
the demand for the products is still
far beyond the supply, and the price
received is, therefore, high and means
big profits to the producer. Winter
oats which sold at $1.55 a hundred at
the time Of thresh1ng in June are now
worth $2.25 a hundred. Corn "DETAILS
at $1.90 a hundred; alfalfa hay $40
to $12 a ton. Peaches, pears, apples,
grapes and other fruit have been sold
at S cents a pound and up, little he
ing marketed at less than 5 cents.
A large acreage Of alfalfa was cut
for seed, the average yield being ESQ
to 800 pounds to the acre. Much of
this seed already has been marketed
at Is to II cents a pound. In addition
three cuttings OF hay are taken from
