Press dispatches state that Governor
Campbell of Texas has announced his de-
termination to enforce the Sunday closing
law. His success on the first Sunday after
the announcement may be judged by the
fact that San Antonio is reported to have

BreWerieS and " Joints"

Nobody will accuse Mayor Busse of Chicago of being
temperance fanatic, the Chicago Tribune of being
the organ Of the AntSaoon League but the following
account Of what Mayor Busse said to brewery agent
about the relation Of the breweres to the tough saloons
is taken from the Chicago Tribune of last Sunday.
Mayor Busse put crmp yesterday in the gentle prac-
tce of breweres exertng influence to the restor
alton of saloon licenses revoked because Of violations Of
the law says the Tribune. One brewery agent this
mission bent received such verbal casgaton from the
mayor that he beat quick retreat without accomplish
ing his object.
The agent was a man named Schneitmann, represent
ing the United States Brewing Company He wanted the
MAYOR to restore two licenses Isaac D. Frank for
his former saloon so Wells street. and the other for
Miller at Sc Wells street. Mr. Busse revoked both
licenses nearly week ago because Of numerous COM
plants that the saloons tough joint" in which
manv robberies had been committed police nvestiga

learned that the brewery ntercedlng IN behalf OF

for holding them responsible for the evils of the LIQUOR

But when it down to actual cases. the mayor con-
tinued these brewers found hand in glove with
the tough saloon.
Useless This Time
Then when license is revoked the brewers exert all
their influence to win its restoration.

On the 11th fthis month there
arrived in this city a little woman by
the name of Lucille Hawkins accom-
panied by three children, TWO of them
twins, being helpless cripples, the
other being bOriSht active child
whose large eyes appealed to all. The
mother and children were from Og-

Pierce whom she had not seen for
years but to whom she naturally
looked Tor assistance. When she ar
rived here however, the brother was
not here and could not be located.
She was in destitute circums stances
and her condition was soon made
known to the officers who took up the
matter with the V. 4 T. railroad OF
ticialS and the county commissioners,
and as a result the little woman and
children were this morning sent
speeding on their way to other rela-
tives in Idaho. Such cases appeal
to our people and the quick response
with which the appeal was acted upon
meets with the appreciation Of all.

JUDGE NORCROSSS
WRITES ABOUT NEVADA

No one ever pretended that Nevada
than as a war measure. Nevada
stands alone as the only Territory
in the Union that had Statehood
thrust upon her.
1t meant something to the people OF
Nevada in 1864 to assume the heavy
burden of Statehood. The glory was
proposed constitution was rejected by
popular vote. When the real purpose
OF statehood was better understood,
the action of second constitutional
convention was promptly ratified.
So great was then deemed the nee,
essity for haste that the constitution
expense to the state for the one dis
patch Of over $4,000.
Nevada lived up to her mutto-"All
for our Country" She turned a stream
OF gold and silver into the Golfers OF
the nation that made it easy to main
tain her credit. and. besides, she prac-
tically was compelled to assume the
defense OF her own domain from
warning Indian tribes.
The general government still owes
the State of Nevada nearly half a
million dollars expended in protect
ing her people from the wards of the
government, and in raising and equip
ping soldiers for the Union army.
Some day, probably, the nation that
reds of millions of dollars which the
mines of Nevada have produced. will
pay this honest debt.

: that il should take place in this state
where finish fights are permissible, as
limited round contests are always
most unsatisfactory to the public es-
peciaily, when the title in any class
is concerned in the outcome. particu-
larly the heavyweight, the most i'm
portant title in the sporting world.
Il shall write to Jeff at once and
give him my conclusions from the way
Johnson showed up with his fight with
Ketchell and will make some suggcs
tions to him as to the way he should
make his fight with the big smoke
and shall show him that as far as the
financial end is concerned il will be
better for him to figlr- in Nevada than
to fight in San Francisco or In any
vther city in the United States.
We had good trip. Bright and l.
saw some OF the Carson City boys in
the city and enjoyed our "Trip i'm
mensely.
1t is certain that Johnson has i'm
proved wonderfully. At the same
time | believe that if kctchell had
been 20 pounds heavier. had been able
to land two or three good hard blows
the shine would have backed up Il
bit and the fight would have gone the
limit. What Johnson will do when
Jef gets after him and lands two OF
three of those dse-hammer. mule
kicks of his remains to be seen. \
Not OF people think that Johnson has
that old time yellow streak. lie Ccr-
tainly did not show ii in his fight
with kctChell and what he will show
