There were several shuffies in the
arrangements of the patronage and
for time it looked as If Folsom
would succeed in shutting out one
or two ambitious Office seekers from
Nye county. However, at the last
moment his plans were foiled and
Nye won. 1t is even possible at this
time that Davis of Manhattan, a
staunch friend of Giffen, will be
given committee place when the
session begins next week. So intent
were the solons on transacting regu-
lar business that the legislative ap-
preparation was temporarily over
looked. Only by much manouvering
was the measure finally rushed
through both houses and to the gov
ernor yesterday afternoon. AS a re-
suit the lawmakers today drew down
a weeks salary for three days
work. This in addition to the mile
age and stationery bills allowed
them has resulted in livening condi-
tions in Carson. Both houses ad-
journed yesterday to meet Monday
morning. About fifteen bills have
thus far been introduced in both
houses. The most important is that
providing for a mine inspector
Among the others is one by Senator
Boyd increasing the salary of the
district attorney of Washoe county
to $4,000 per year and providing for
deputy with salary of $240O per
annum. Another provides for an oil
painting of the late Governor Sparks
at cost of $500.
In the senate committee of irri-
cation and reclamation was created
yesterday and Senator Douglas of

THAW'S FRIEND
RAKES EVELYN
OVER THE GOALS
BY Associated Presa.

Pittsburg, Aug. 11.-~Roger O'Mara,
who has returned from White Plains,
n. Y, where he was attending the
latest hearing in Harry Thaw's eff
Forts to establish his sanity, believes
ThaW sane and confidently expects
him to be freed.
OF Evelyn Nesbit, he says: "She
threw Harry over hard in the White
Plains trial. Why, after what he did
for her. after he had married her to
square her name with the world, she
played to Jerome and told him every
thing that, until the time, he had not
known. She was not for Harry and
did her best to keep him in Mattea-
wan"
Asked about Evelyn's threats to
get a divorce, he said:
IF she tries to get a divorce there
will not be any obstacles placed IN
her way
This talk of Harry Thaw not be-
ing wanted in Pittsburg makes me-
laugh. He will come back to Pitts
burg, his old home, and will start
again and no person will object"

STICK AND SHOT

ABOLISHED
Georgia Has New Statute
to Punish Defaners of
Virtuous Women.
BY Associates Press.

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. 1.-THE stick
and the shot gun, implements OF the
Unwritten law, were figuratively abol-
ished today by the Georgia legislature
as the means of defense of a WOm-
ans fair name. The house passed
the bill already adopted by the senate
making wilfUl defamation of wom-
an a miSdemeanOr. The unwTitten
law was brought to the front in a
sharp debate accompanying the pass
age. The bill had been read making
it a penal Offense ''wilfully or falsely
to make any statement defaming the
fair name of any virtuous female"
Representative BeasIey jumped to his
feet and exclaimed: Isn't the old
fashioned stick and the shot gun as
good a remedy as any to protect
woman's name?"
Other representatives broke into
the debate to ask if there was no law,
nothing but the stick and the guns1to
punish such defamation. They were
told there was no such law. The re-
Spouse was instantaneous, and within
two minutes the new bill had been
adopted unanimously. The penalty
for violation of the defamation law
is $1,000 fine or years imprison
ment

New York, Aug. 11.-DOnald L.

here, in Philadelphia and Boston,
whereby stocks supposed to be in

to brokers, who sold them.
II is believed that many have suf-

same as Heinze by Persch, though for
q smaller amount. Carlos WaTfield,
vice president of one of Heinze's cop

heavily the same way.

MOTOR BOATS
MAY CONTEST
OFF THE BLUFF
HANDSOME PRIZES OFFERED AS
INDICTMENT AND MATTER
WILL BE DISCUSSED AT SPEC
IAL MEETING.

A race of motor boats on a course
to be laid out of Magnolia Bluff is a
possible event for Sunday week, and
whether or not the contest will be
pulled off will be decided at a spec
iaI meeting Of the Pensacola Yacht
and Motor Boat club, to be held to-
night.
AS an inducement that the race be
held there, Manager George Vucovicn
has offered three handsome prizes,
to be awarded by a committee of
judges selected by the club for the
first, second and third winners. He
has officially communicated the fact
of this offer to the club officials, but
has received no reply as yet.
The advantages Of a race of the
bluff are conceded to be many. A
broad water expanse will AFFORD an
opportunity for a course to be laid
out so that the boats may at all times
during the race be seen from the high
bluffs skiTting the water front, and
such will be used as an argument by
those in favor of the race when the
discussion comes up in the meeting

YEAR.

Judge J. F. c. Griggs, OF Apalachi-

the past three days, leaves today fOI
home, but will probably spend day
or two at points between here and
there.
While he has made no definite an
nouncement to that effect, it is gener-
ally understood that Judge Griggs
will be a candidate for congress in
next years primaries. He occupies d
peculiarly strategic position, and in
view o. the friends that he made two
years ago and of the new ones he
expects to make now, he will be a
strong factor in the race.
