White House Courtesy

If any president Of modern times were
to exhibit the official indcccucy that
John Adams exhibited when jefferson
became president, he would be dcnounc-
ed by every reputable newspaper and
intelligent citizen Of the land. 1t was
then, us it is now, the acccptsd duty of
the retiring president to receive the in.
coming president ut the white house and
accompany him to the inauguration
ceremonies, hut the last official act of
Adams rs president was the nomination
of Il number of what were called "mid-
night judges" the night before the in.
auguration of jefferson, and during the
night hc and his family withdrew from
the white house, leaving none but the
servants to receive the incoming prcsi.

II was President Polk who first had

Clay, who had been his competitor. TO
dine with him and Mrs. Polk in the
white house. 1t was near the close of
the Polk administration, during which
Clay had been senator most of the

"JIM THE WESTERNER"
Mr.. Morrie Is to Produce Another
New York Success in the
Near Future.

Information has come tn us that we
are to have another great treat in the
theatrical line before this season closes.
1t is to be in the nature of another
home talent under the auspices of tho
Ladies' Guild of the Episcopal church
Mr.. MOrrie will have the management
Of the play and that is Il surety in itself,
;S few of us have forgotten the mastery
way i'll which he handled the production
of The Christian few weeks ago.
Careful study has been given in the
selection Of Il play that would suit the
wishes of the most scrupulous and yet
afford amusement for all classes
In The Wcstcrner" we have Il So
cicty comedy drama, and the comedy is
the clcaneSt and richest of any on the
stage today. In the hands of such cap
able people us Miss Grace Bacon and
Mr.. Chester Littlefeld, it cannot fail to
be Il success.
Some of the faces we SAW in The
Christian" will be seen again along with
some new ones. The cast will be en-
tircly local with the exception of Mr.
Morrie and he has to be there as--so to
speak-he is the plaster that keeps the
walls together. Miss Vernie Jones and
Mr.. George Russell will also be seen.
The entire cast will I've given in these
columns later on.
Although the date has not been de-
finitely settled upon. it will be on or
about the 18th of this month.
This will be about the last play Mr..
MOrrie will be able to produce for us.
;ls he hopes to be able to return to New
York for next season. Mr.. MOrrie as
sured us that he had never spent Il
more delightful vacation tran he had
this summer i'll ElkO. That means
something, rs he has been travelling for
twenty years and during that time has
visited every state and territory in the
union as well Us many foreign countries.

can all go and laugh.

Beef Prices 10 Rule SieadY

We have slumberin@ idea that beef,
prices will remain steady and strong
for the next five or six years. Some of
the cattlemen up in the northwest are
spaying their heifcrs this spring. which
to us looks like the very thing they
ought not to do. We have fewer cattle
per capita than we have had before for
twenty years. There are no spnrplus
cattle in the east or south and the supply
is quite short here on the plains and
throughout the corn belt where the
feeders were unable last fall to get the
money to carry on their usual finishing
operations The high prices of corn
and hay last fall caused the farmers in
the corn belt to sell their hay and corn
and their cattle, and today the females
are bringing about as much money as
the steers and are hard TO buy ut any
price. The day Of cheap corn is gone
forever and our range fellows are he.
ginning to see the necessity Of putting
up their own feed stuffs. 1t Is the
only way ont and is simple enough
when we consider the chcapncss with
which we can grow alfalfa. barley, peas
and stock bccts. to say nothing Of the
thousands Of tons Of beet pulp turned
out by the sugar factories every fail.
All these things Indicate mighty evo.
luton in our livestock industry and the
man who does not get into the swim
will have to bc fatcd as hind.cntler. -

Shooting at Humboldt

A Winnemucca dispatch ofJune 2e:h
says:
Sheriff Lamb with posse, left last
left night for Humboldt for purpose of
capturing c. II. Webster, saloon
keeper, dead or alive.
Webster, assisted by his bar keeper
by The name of York. resisted arrest
earlier in the evening by Constable
Wolf of Lovclock, who attempted to
take Webster into custody. The at
tempt ended in a fusiladc af gun shots
in which one man was shot twice
When Wolf entered the saloon,
Webster apprehending his purpose,
instantly covered the constable with
his gun, Wolf withdrew, declaring that
he would take the train and return to
LovelOck. He boarded the train, as he
agreed, but as the train pulled out
stepped from the platform to the other
side of the track, and soon afterward
reappeared at the saloon, intent upon
placing Webster under arrest.
Without giving the desperate man
any opportunity to again cover him
with his gun, Wolf Immediately fired Mt
Webster, two shots entering his back
and one his arm. Webster returned the
fire Immediately, hut without effect,
five shots in all being fired. Day bar
tender York was sent for and appeared
to the assistance of Webster The con-
stable then left the saloon and wired to
Winnemucca for Sheriff Lamb who,
with posse of men. left us quickly rs
possible for the scene of the difficulties.
The Silver State News says that be-
fore the arrival of Sheriff Lamb
Webster concluded to surrender and did
50 when the sheriff arrived He was
found to have been hit twice and
perhaps three times, rs he had two
bullet holes in the left arm, and bullet
had entered his left side. coming out
near the backbone All three wounds
were of Il superficial character and no
serious trouble from them is anticipated.
Websters offense in LovelOck WAS the
drawing of pistol in the red light
district and compelling one of the fallen
women to beat another. \ warrant for
his arrest was sworn to by one of the
women and Constable Wolf telegraphed
Webster that he wanted to see him.
Webster met No. 3 in company with
his bartender, G. York, who is well
known in Winnemucca, and u woman
by the name of Kitty, who poses as
Webster's wife.

General Percy Haly declare. Nav.
II wasn't no compromise. We just
got licked?"
IL Beckham's administration. dur
ing which sprang up the anarchy or
the Black Patch, and thrived the
murder code of the mountains, that
left the state almost penniless with
the state institutions in the hands OF
grafters - the administration that
Democratic papers said was rebuked
and repudiated by the last election,
was worthy of Endorsement at the
hands of the party, then, what an
iniquity was there perpetrated, when
Beckham was traitorously defeated
for senator!
II was the same hand that stran-
gled Beckham and strangled the
county unit last winter. II was the
same hand that guided the destinies
Of the state convention, and 1t was
the hand of the Louisville gang,
whose conduct of elections the court
of appeals rebuked. 1t was Beckham
and the county unit, who went down
together in the state convention, and
there was no harmony. Beckham
counted noses and saw he was de-
feated. Then he threw up the sponge
and quit the fight.
Beckhams administration was
worthy of Endorsement, or 1t was not.
II IL was worthy of Endorsement. how
do they account for the defeat of
the Democratic ticket last fall. and
Beckham's defeat at the hands of
his own party in the legislature? II
his administration was a disgrace to
Kentucky, wasn't 1t cowardly to in
dorse Il in state convention?
We like Percy's style, when 1t
comes to that. There area lot of
things about Percy Haly we deplore;
but his game utterance at the finish
of the fight contrasts very favorably
with the Endorsement OF Beckham by
his enemies.

there is feeling of confidence.
Thus far the better terms for steel
products have brought no increase in
the volume of business, consumers
deferring operations in the hope that
still more attractive prices will be
fixed. About a third of the bare re-
quirements of implement makers
have been filled at lower prices
named last week. Quieter conditions
exist at the primary markets of lead-
ing textile industries.
Conditions are not uniform in the
wooden goods division, some lines be-
ing well sold ahead while others are
in poor demand, causing much idle
machinery in the less fortunate di-
visions.
Trade in footwear is better than at
any previous time this syear. but New
England manufacturers still find con-
ditions unsatisfactory. There is lit
tie dispute as to prices, but the de-
mand is limited.
In view of the strength in the mar
kets for material larger jobbers do
not expect cheaper shoes, but all de-
partments show dissemination to

THE DOCTORS.

We are glad to observe that the
doctors OF the country in their con-
vention recognized their own obliga-
ton to their fellowmen. We ac-
knowledge the doctors In municipali-
ties as the best citizens as class,
that we have. In every city the doc
tors have been the first TO agitate
sanitation and hygiene, have been
the ones always to sacrifice their
TIME and labors for the public good
without reward.
The preservation OF human life is
the most important duty of society.
Our government is for living beings.
II man is dead, what are parks,
what are transportation facilities,
what are industrial advantages. what
is education or sound money? We
take less concern for our own lives
and the lives of others, than we do
for anything else. as individuals and
as a community. We have a disin-
clination to interfere with the rights
of other people, although the man.
ner OF enjoying those rights costs
thousands of human lives. We count
the cost in dollars and cents when
human lives are at stake. We delay
building sewers, we delay enforcing
rules on public service agents, we
delay everything, though its costs
lives, until more convenient season.
We like the doctors way. They
are fighting for pure food laws, they
are fighting for sanitary laws, they
are fighting for more scientific means
of Graduating disease; when, If they
followed the policy of men in other
pursuits. they would be importing
yellow fever and cholera germs and
discouragng sanitation, that they
might profit by the universal SICK
ness.
A doctor in cabinet position
would not have to be watched. There
is something ennobling in his profess
sion that keeps a doctor above the
petty pllfering, in which the rest OF
us indulge. The average doctor. per.
haps. would forget to draw his salary
from the government. We are fol-
the doctor; for one reason. because
We entertain desire TO have all done
for us possible that will clear ava!
the obstacles to long life. We like
this country, and wish to remain II
it as long as we may. We know tn,
doctor and we know his pills, ant
We would rather pay our proportion
toward maintaining a doctor in thu
cabinet at Washington. where he cal
kill the germs that make us sick
than to foot the whole bill for on
and have to swallow his medicine I,
boot. Some day We shall learn in ad
dition to mans inhumanity to man
what consummate brutes we are Il
ourselves, and 1t will be an old fam
lily doctor, who will tell us.
