for fruit trains into Chicago is be-
tween six and seven days, placing
fruit on the market on the seventh
or eighth day out of Sacramento.
Five days to Chicago, made by a
special fruit from Los Angeles, was,
before the run made by the Western
Pacific the record time.
Three days and a half is the time
overland passenger trains make
from Sacramento to Chicago, or
from Chicago this way. This time
was equalled by the Western Pacific
fruit train, setting new record for
freight train speed.
The train was handled by three
different roads. The Western
Pacific hauled it fromSacramento to
Salt Lake City, where it was turned
over to the Denver & Rio Grande
for the haul to Pueblo, Colorado.
At Pueblo the Rock Island road took
it, rushing toward Chicago, drop
ping one car at Council Bluffs late
Saturday night for st. Louis. The
train was run through as a special,
not being broken or mixed with
other freight trains. BY continuity
pounding the rails with stops only
for changing crews and iceing, the
special was enabled to smash all
records.
While the run indicates what the
Western Pacific and other Gould
roads can do with freight, the time
made by the special is not claimed
to be regular schedule. The train
was run as a demonstration to
California fruit shippers of the
facilities the Gould lines have for
making time. The difference of
one day into the eastern market is
considered Of great value but the
Western Pacific officials claim that
the company is in a position to land
fruit trains at Chicago two days
ahead of the Southern Pacific. This
is allowing one day longer than was
taken by the overwhelmingly

for congress on the republican
ticket appears Under the proper
heading, We are sorry to say that
we are not personally acquainted
with Mr.. Douglas and cannot there
fore speak of him from personal

can learn from his friends and from
the newspapers of southern Nevada,
we have no hesitancy in saying
that he is lawyer of ability and
force In every way worthy of the
confidence of his party.
We also learn that he is a native
of the state and has made it his
home. Also, that he is graduate
of the University of California. If
the next congressman from Nevada
is to be a republican, judging from
what we have learned of Mr..
Douglas. that party will make no
mistake in supporting him at the
primary election.

certain way of deciding the age of
eggs which seems practical.
About six ounces of common
cooking salt is put in a large glass,
which is filled with water. When
the salt is in solution the egg is drop
ped in the glass. If the egg is only

If three days old it sinks only

From five days upward it floats.

NINETY Names A DAY
CLAIMED BY DEATH

Ninety names day are being
dropped from the pension rolls of
the Grand Army of the Republic.
Nearly four of the veterans every
hour are conquered by King Death.
Each month 270O of them are laid
IN their last bed.
AT the end of the fiscal year in
1865, just after the war closed,
there were 85,9O6 pensioners, but
5O,106 of these were widows and
orphans. The amount paid out
was $8,525,1 The next year
IS, 256 names were added and the
disbursements rose to $13, 459, 969.
That was the largest number of
applications until 1880, when under
more liberal law 1,44,4 46 appli-
cations we're made, of which 49,
545 were allowed, making pen
sion roll of 25O,SO2 the cost that
year was $57,24O.540. The in
crease were comparatively small
after that until 1890. when under
new legislation another great leap
forward was made, the applications
that year being over 100000, and
in 1891 696, 94l applications were
filed, of which 1864 were al
lowed. This made a total of 676,-
100 pensioners, the disbursements
being $118, 548, $50. In 1893 the
number was close to 100000, and
they cost over $15S, 100000. This
was the largest sum disbursed until
last year, forty-four years after
the war closed, when it was $751;
973,70 The largest number of
pensioners ever on the list was
999, 446, in 1903, since then the
number has gradually decreased but
slightly if at all. The total dis
bursements for pensions since July
l, 1864, amount to $3,848, $685.

For the past four years the death
rate has been about 10000 year,
out it must be much greater from
this on for few years. Most of
the veterans are past 70, and even
the widows and the orphans are no
longer young women and children,

T. r: Hofer, ex-bank examiner,
and Judge James G. Sweeney of the
supreme court:
We herein request the district
attorney of Nye county to notify
the attorney general of the state of
Nevada as to the sworn statements
of I. r. Hofer, bank examiner, of
the condition TO the Nye and
Ormsby County banks at the time
the banks closed and also at the
same time the banks reopened, as
it is evident to this grand jury that
the crime of perjury was committed
by the said T. R. Hofer. We make
mention that he was allowed an
overdraft on the Carson bank at
the time he was bank examiner.
We would call your attention to
the connection of James G Sweeney
a supreme judge of this state, with
the affairs of the Nye and Ormsby
county bank. He was evidently
retained as counsel or the bank, as
we find he received fee of $500,
and was at all times allowed to
borrow large sums of money.
He. was also one of the most active
directors of the bank, as shown by
the minute books of the meetings.
and undoubtedly knew of the in
solvent condition of the bank at all
times.
We would again refer to. the
active connection as directors of
the bank of those men named above
and more particularly to James G.
Sweeney and L. L. Patrick. No
excuse can in our opinion be offered
by these men for their activity in
their later days of life of the bank
and their apparent utter disregard
for the interest of the depositors,
although they are evidently secure
from prosecution under the laws
in existence their actions should be
condemned.
