"All right; I'll do it myself"
Fordham steered his machine into
the garage. When he returned the
man whom he supposed to be the land
lord had disappeared. Fordham stalk

''Toney," he remarked to himself.
Coolest hotel I've been In In month
Of Sundays. Good enough for a private
house."
The owner, Edward Eldrige, was up
stairs. where the members of a house
party be was entertaining were getting
ready for dinner. He was passing the
word that there was a man below who
had mistaken the house for a hotel and
proposed that they have some fun out
of 1t. Most of them were dressed for
dinner, and a consultation took place
In the upper hall. Louise Vincent,
who was always ready for mischief.
insisted on dressing herself as a maid
and waiting on the stranger at dinner.
Soon after this one by one the guests
went downstairs, all In dinner dress.
One of them. Ben Rowland, was taken

acquaintance.

Rowland. steadying himself after bis

When the house party saw the ex-
preston on Fordham's face their pent-
up mirth broke its bounds. Fordham
looked at them with such a puzzled,
woebegone expression that Mr.. Ell
drige stepped forward and explained
that. taking advantage of bis mistak-
ing a private summer cottage for a
hotel. they had perpetrated a joke
upon him.
Fordhan took out pocket check
book and wrote check for the amount
Of the bill. saying at the same time
that the landlord might apply 1T to
charity IL he did not wish to accept 1t.
But Eldrige tore 1t up. Then Ford
ham declared that he would forgive
them on one condition-that the entire
party agree to visit him In his own
cottage.
There was no want of aiacrity In &C
cepting the invitation. Fordham had
fulfilled Howland's promise that he
was a bang up good fellow and had
stood the joke that had been perpe-
trated upon him good naturally. SO
the next week the guests Of Hotel FL
drige reassembled at Hotel Fordham.
Fordham says that the joke. after
all. was on Eldrige, who wanted Miss
Vincent. ct the close Of the second
house party Fordham carried her OF
himself.

HAVE STARTED
GRADING FOR The
RAILROAD SHOPS

Within the next two weeks the
general offices of the Tonopah and
Goldfield railroad will be removed
from Tonopah to Goldfeld, AMI
probably established in the Casey
hotel building, at Main and Miner
streets. While no official announce
ment has been made regarding the
signing of the lease, it is under
stood that definite agreement has
been entered into that assures the
selection of this Location. The main
offices will be located on the ground
floor, and the other departments
above. More or less alterations
will be necessary, and also the con
struction of big fireproof vault in
the basement. AS soon as these
arrangements are completed, the
Office in Tonopah will be packed up
and brought to Goldfield.
Grading of the grounds for the
shops, depots, warehouse, round
house, ETC., will commence at once.
Charles s. Wilkes, who has just
completed building 42OO-foot spur
to the Belmont mine at Tonopah,
has the grading contract here and
expects to complete the work in
two weeks. His grading outfit ar
rived from Tonopah by special
train yesterday and work will be
started this morning.
The proposed improvements will
cost 100000, and will be rushed
to completion as rapidly as possible.
The shops and roundhouse will be
constructed first, and then the pas
senger and freight depots will be
built in the block at Pine and
Aluminium streets.-Goldfield Tr;b-

George Wingfield and j. H. Mac

to be back of the organization of a
$50, 100000 oil company, which is

as among the incorporators.
They have had in the field a
number of men. among whom is
William Erb of the Nevada Petro-

EDITOR WINS DAMAGE SUIT.

The damage suit of H: w. Cher
ry, editor of the Lovelock Review,
against James S. London, a mining
man of Seven Troughs district, was
tried in the district court before
Judge Pike this afternoon, de-
cision being given in favor of the
plaintiff for damages in the sum OF
$4,000 and costs. The Cherry YER
sus London suit was the outsome
of an assault committed by the
latter on June 26th last. London,
who weighed over 200 pounds, en-
tered the Review office and asked
Cherry why he had published a GER
tain article. The latter replied that
he published it as a matter of news
whereupon London drew back his
ham-like fist and struck Cherry
The latter, who weighed nearly q
hundred pounds less than London
had nothing at hand with which
to defend himself and ran into the
street.
London followed, knocked Cherry
down and beat him in brutal
manner, being finally prevented by
by-standers from doing further
damage.-Winnemucca Star.

Criticising Our School System

Dear Sir:-In the February swat
son" you did more to cripple the
hypocrisy of Andrew Carnegie, and
his like, than any other writer has
done, in my opinion, up to date.
Every man, woman and child should
read it. Just such talk as that of
devil in the negro than anything
else. The people of the South, and,
as for that matter, the people of the
whole United States should ''spew"
Carnegie and his gifts out Of their
mouths. The idea of the old hypo-
critic trying to ease his conscience
by giving few of his stolen dollars
to build libraries.
There is one thing that I would
like to see your pen handle, and that
is the way the people are treated by
having lot of boys and girls turn
ed loose on them as school teachers.
CD Go into the school rooms today,
and what do you find in the way of a
teacher? Some boy or girl who could
not earn a living at anything else,
yet the school commissioners and au-
thOrities have turned them loose
upon the public to teach CD their
children. The majority of these
teachers haven't energy enough to
get out of shower of rain. They
teach for a convenience, just because
they can't do anything else. Now,
am not opposed to a boy or girl
teaching who has any love for their
work. Unfortunately, a majority of
them have no idea of making teach
ing avocation. The girls will quit
just as soon as they can marry, and
the boys as soon as they can secure a

short term normal made teachers,
and they have a little "crammed'
into their heads about the theory of
teaching. If one of them has to
make fire in the stove they grum-
bic about having to act as janitor. If
one has to board in some country
home that has no bath tub, they
throw up their hands in horror. The
one thing they do know how to do
is to complain about the small salary
that the State pays their teachers
Can't you, or some other strong man,
tell these girls and boys that the
State pays them more than they are
competent to earn at any other Job?
Let man Or woman prepare them
selves to teach, and first convince the
public that they can teach, and no
doubt but what their salaries would
be increased by the patrons, if not

Prof. Perdue Realizes the Strength
of Our Position

in off years to come to a knowledge
of the truth and apply it to the vexed
questions arising in our politics. If
our people cannot, with an exercise
of that vigilance which is necessary
to the security of equal rights to all,
around our present Constitution,
and hereunder preserve the just
rights of the great body of the peo-
pie under a free government, then
there is no hope for the people un-
der any other system. People must
become so well informed and so vigi-
liant as not to be everlastingly de-
ceived and betrayed by demagogues.
Our legislation and our courts being
under the control of the classes, as
against the masses, is not the fault of
our system of constitutional govern
ment, but it is the fault of the dis
position of our people to be hero
worshippers-nOt studying the great
questions, easily to be understood,
that so vitality concern them; but
leaving themselves to be taken care
of by the big politicians, who are but
the pampered tools of the great
financial interests. whose headQuar-
ters are in Wall street and Thread
Needle street and the bourses of the
great metropolises of the world
[ think there is a great future
for the Jeffersonians. They occupy
the middle ground between the
extremes of Socialism and Pluto
cracy. To this the great middle class
must come-the people of moderate
means. Our society is fast becom-
ing, under our present system of ma
tional economics, like a writer once
said of the English people-they
were like their butts of beer: froth
at the top, dregs at the bottom, in
the middle excellent. Those who
must depend upon their natural re-
sources of Drawn and brain to sup
port themselves and carry the bur-
dens of the State must get together
in one grand political organization
and sweep from power the parties
dominated by syndicated wealth.
Then intelligence and virtue will rule
the nation and justice and equality
of rights will prevail among our peo-
pie. The welfare of the people,
rather than the prosperity of incor-
porated wealth, will be the goal to-
wards which the legislative policy of
the government will be directed. $50
