GOV. DICkEkSoN NAMES
k1ruBL1CAN SALE TICKET

Yesterday the Man Around Town,
oiew into the capitol and into the Of
nee OF the governor OF the great COM
hlonwealth. The governor sat behind
The aesk toying with the Thought
Ihat soon will he .emblazoned by the
state printer as the Thanksgiving
proclamation OF Denver S. Dickerson,
governor Oh the state OF Nevada.
The man Around Town waited, as
ae had Leen taught III earlier child
hood, until he had been addressed be-
lore allowing ms rounded form TO sink
ianguidly into the cushioned chair that
the state provides for the visitors OF
The governor, and then asked: 'What
Of the dayi"
The stern lines around the lips Of
the governor relaxed into smile
We knew not why-and he asked:
Have you seen the Republican slate
YETI" The Man was compelled to
state in his truthfulness that he had
not and then expressed his wish that
ne could know the names of the stal-
warts that were to bear the banner Of
.he Republican party on to victory.
TELL it, Governor, tell it that l might
know as to the future of the state.
"Well," quoth the Democratic Gov
ernor, .for senator will be More
louse; Sam Platt will be out for
congress and Norcross, no, hold on,
that wasn't it either. 1t is Judge
Massey for governor; T. l.. Oddie tor
secretary Of state; j. +. Douglas for
attorney general OF may be it will be
rilden, they had two names down on
The slate and then Eggers again for
state controller"
"Who will be treasurerf'' Man
asked.
"What is that Humboldt fellow s
name, Jimi" the governor asked of
secretary Finch.
"What, for treasurcra Why But
on was his name.'
The Man asked about his initials
and Finch replied, cit was written
frank j. on the slate"
So now the Republican ticket is in
the field. 1t has been given to the
public by the Democratic governor
and one is prone to believe that from
the naming of the ticket, that the
present governor is truthful in the
statements made that he does not in
tend to run again, for the ticket oot-
lined, if truth it be, is one invincible.

6. F. CONFIDENCE MAN
ATTEMPTS TODEFRAUD
LOVELOCKER

The following from the San Fran.
cisco Chronicle tells on an attempt 10
derraud ". q. Pitt OIL Loveloek, Dy
John +. Wilson, confidence maa OF
the Bay city:
Although John F. Wilson, who il
credited with having fleeced farmers
IN every section of California, has moi
been turned over to the federal autnor
tiles, a warrant was issued yesterday
afternoon and he will be taken IRON
the city prison and before United
States Commissioner Heacock this
morning.
While his operations were mainly in
California q victim has appeared from
Nevada, who credits Postottce Inspect
or Johnston with having saved for
him money that he would otherwise
have lost. 1t was under the name OF
I" Warren & Co." that Wilson sent
one of his circulars to w. q. Pitt, OF
Lovelock, and Pitt shipped two cars
of bran to Warren d Co.. on CON
signment. Following this deal was
made for two cars of hay, and these
were shipped without question.
Then Pitt, in cautious mood, wrote
to commercial agency for the com
mission firms rating, and the reply
started him out of Lovelock for San
francisco. When he reached Sacra
mento last Sunday morning he rend tAe
Chroicle's story Of Wilson s arrest anu
the expose Of his methods.
Tracing the cars of hay by wire, he
located them in the Southern Pacific
yards in Oakland and made arrange.
nents with the company for them to
be held, subject to his order, after he
had filed an indemnity bond.
Reaching San Francisco he visited
the Office Of Postotfiee lnspestor JoeNt'.
Johnston, and on looking through the
papers taken from Wilson it was found
that two cars of bran had been sold
to Anspacher Brothers, commission
firm, by Wilson. Payment had not
been made, and through Johnston s
good Offices the settlement was made
with Pitt direct.
1t is expected that when the federal
prosecution of Wilson begins under d
charge of using the mails to further
a scheme to defraud others of Wilson S
victims and near victims will come to
the fores to testify against him.

AUTOMOBILE A NECESSITY

Chancellor Strong of the University
of Kansas is quoted as saying that So
much money has been made in the west
during the last ten years, and so much
of it has been given to the boy, pre-
sumably the farmers son, "that he
mas desired to live pretty well, ana
some of them (the boys) have craveu
and have had motor cars" CAN OF
ohis,' adds the chancellor, "has ten
dency to distract attention from stud
les, and we have had some hard work
to combat the tendency" Now. as to
the western country boys father.
Secretary Wilson, on his return recent
ly from a month s vacation on his farm
in Iowa, when asked if it were really
true that farmers were investing such
larg sums of money in automobiles, re-
piled: "The farmer is out of debt /;
he has paid for his farm, his fences
and his machinery. He has money in
mis- pockets and big crops continue to
come on. He will not invest in eastern
securities, lest year might bring
trouble there. AS result, he puts hls
money in luxuries, instead of channels
that might give return. Why, folks
in the east do not know what luxuries
are. They must go west to find that
out"
Unless the country has been greatly
misinformed by the bank commissioners
of Iowa and Kansas and other western
states, and by many other persons who
have taken up the subject at various
times during the last few years, Secre'
tary Wilson is very likely to be called
upon to modify some of these state
ments. We have been told, indeed, un-
til it is generally accepted as fact,
that the western farmer is not only a
buyer of shares and bonds, but q
money-lender on a very extensive scale.
Moreover, we have it on equally
good authority that, as rule, the auto
mobile, far from being luxury, has
become necessity on the farm. Pres
W. c. Brown, of the New York Central
railroad. after visit to his farm in
Iowa not long since, told how the farm
ersS in the vicinity made money, in saw
ing time, by the use of the automobile

equal to correspondence.
l am his biographer and as such
am in position to give you any intor
nation which he could give concerning
the Unionville shanties. Mr.. Clemens
says that his shanty, as he recollects
it, was at or near Unionville, but tina,
it is quite unlikely that any trace of il
remains, for the reason that it was
merely three sided affair, with tn,
other side dug in the slope of hill
the roof being of canvas. His chic.
recollections of the place is that COW
came tumbling down the hillside ont
night and fell through the roof, which
demolished that part of the structure.
1t is probable that the shacks pointed
out to you are of later, construction.
Again thanking you on Mr.. Clemens
behalf and on my own, am,
Very truly yours,
A. B. PAINE.
1t is said that at the time the COW
came tumbling through Marx s roof,
81 Springer, the Bonnifeld boys and
some others, were intently listening to
one of Marks thrilnng steamboat
stories, when he was pilot on the Mis-
sissippi. Mark was telling Of race
between his boat, the Diana, and the
Eclipse. Both boats were hugging the
shore, going up stream, and the night
was dark as Erebus. The Diana was
on the inside. When it came to round
ing points, the Eclipse crowded in so
hard as to almost run the Diana ashore.
Another thing that annoyed Mark, the
Diana had heavy deck load of cat
tie, that seemed to all below at once
and to keep it up. frequently Mark
had to shout his orders to the engineer
through the speaking tube. The sound
of his voice and the bovine chorus
would mix, so the engineer had to run
by guess. Mark was wildly gesticulat-
ingy explaining how he expected every
moment to be run onto bluff bar, or
have the Eclipse smash in his starboard
side. His listeners were spell-bound.
81 Springer's pipe went out, which it
hadn't done before since 81. Bill
Bonnifeld was untying the latch
string, "to get little fresh air,
when, with a roar like San Francisco
earthquake, all were monentarily
speechless. Crash came the cow
through the roof, rattling the cans and
cooking utensils, which sounded just
like engine bells ringing to stop the
boat. All was confusion and mixed
UP. Mark managed to say: "I ex-
pected it-grab'Tiife preserves under
the bed and jump for the Missouri
side.u TX. M.

A STORY OF Other DAYS
in THE OLD CAMP
OF KNOXVILLE
(From winnemucca silver Stately

(From Winnemucca Silver State.)
Recently the Silver State published
an article on old Unionville by J. X,
Mulkey. In looking over the famous
old mining town where Mark Twain
spent a year before he became famous,
and where but few knew him only as
Sam, but who was a general favorite
owing to his inherent humor, many
anecdotes are told that have never been
published. Not even in "Roughing
It" does Mark mention the first time
he drought he house down''-that is
the roof came down, and with the
"house" bare':.' escaped. :
In his well ,knoyn modesty3 Mark,
even at this late date, refrains from de.
tails, but ones imagination has ample
scope. No doubt the incident complete
ly changed Mark plans from ever be
coming professional cowboy" All
knowsbe was no miner, and when he at
tempted to set himself up as a law
yer. quiet old miner, said to have
been at one time a circuit judge, called
him Necessity once or twice. That set
tied it, and ritter the cow incident he
hiked ont for Tuscarora and Missouri.
The two oldest remaining citizens
of Unionville were showing Mr.. Null
key the town, relating many interest
ing incidents of its early days. The
cabin of Mark Twain was pcintd out by
each. but at differ.ut places. Union
vile was established during the Civil
war. Feeling ran high, as the camp
contained partisans of both North and
South. Those from the North wanted
to call the town Unionville, while
those of:the South insisted on calling
1t Dixie. They coul not agree, SO the
east end, or mouth Of the canyon, was
called Dixie, and the westerly end
Unionville. When the dispute arose as
to which Of the two cabins had bean
the home Of Mark, Mr.. Mulkey, know.
ing that he was from Missouri, natural
ly believed that the cabin in Dixie was
the right one. That this historical
question might be answered by the one
best qualified. by Mark himself, Mr.,
Mulkey sent copy of the Silver State
with a4request to Mr.. Clemens to say
which was correct. In answer the fol.
lowing letter was received yesterday;
Stormfield, Nov. 1S, 1909
Mr.. J. Z. Mulkey,
Winnemucca, Nevada.
Dear Mr.. Mulkey:
Mr.. Clemens has your letter of Nov
7th. and wishes me to thank you for II
and for the interest You have taken in
the old land marks. He would reply
himself, but his health just now is NOT

tion he said that scores of automobiles
we're then owned by farmers in his
neighborhood, and that muny more
would be in use if the orders for them
could be filed. At recent celebration
in a western agricultural community,
one hundred farmers automobiles were
in line.
There are instances, no doubt, and,
perhaps, many of them, where western
farmers indulge in the automobile, AMI
in other things, purely as luxurise, but
speaking generally, the farm automo-
bile in these days is not any more OF
luxury than was the farm "buggy'
of few years ago.

|Stoecker Law Wipes Out
Present Education Board

Practically a complete clean-out OF the
present Board of Education Of Omaha will
result from the enactment of the Stoecker
bill for the election OF members by wards.
The bill has passed the legislature and is
awaiting executive approval.
Under the provisions of the now law the
members OF the Board Of Education in
Omaha will be elected one from each ward,
as are the members OF the city council, but
instead Of electing all at once. as with the
council. only a third of the membership
will be elected at a time. One third OF the
present membership now retires each year.
so three years will be required to wipa
out the present board OF fifteen and to re-
place It with a board of twelve.
When five members go out January /,
1910. and give way TO four TO be elected
In the November prior thereto IL will make
a board of fourteen members. On January

by four others 10 be elected at the regular
election In the previous November, which

thirteen" The following year five mem
bers will retire. to be succeeded by four
