Current Comment
Democratic Executive Ability.

AS the primary election law has
been settled by the action Of the SUI
preme court, this would be good
time to survey the political situation
In this great state Of ours, says the
Carson News.
We will start this article by stating
that we firmly believe that the repub-
lican party will elect every one Of
its candidates from the position of
United States senator to coroner of
the county this coming fall Our
opinion Is based upon the fact that
the official returns Of two years ago
showed that the republicans and dem
ocratic parties were almost numeri-
cally equal Bryan, the oft time
loser, received 1922 votes against
10,775 votes polled for Taft Taft was
the favorite in eight counties against
the six for Bryan. Esmeralda county
saved the state for Bryan for had 1t
not have been for that county Taft
would have carried the state by a ma
jority Of 1870. AS 1t was Bryans ma
iority in the whole state was but
437 votes.
At the time Of the last election, es-
pecially in Esmeralda county, the
vote was a great deal larger than It
will be this coming election. In Es-
meralda about five thousand votes
were polled by both Of the old parties
against an estimated number of about
three thousand for this coming cleo.
ton. It Is also conceded that the
democratic party will be the greater
loser by this falling off of the vot-
ing strength and as consequence II
is safe to announce that Nevada is
once again within the republican
ranks.
Still the loss Of q thousand or two
votes Is not the hardest thing that

Wife of Wealthy
 Colchester Man
OCCUPIES CELL IN PHILADEL.
 PHIA CITY HALL.
RANAWAY TWO MONTHS AGO
Arrested Yesterday in Quaker City in Company With Rochester Man Lack of Money Gave Clue

Philadelphia, Nov. 15.-Mrs Edna Mcdonald, wife of a wealthy resident of Colchester, Conn, who disappeared from her home two months ago, was arrested here today in company with Herbert Elliott of Rochester, N. Y. El- l1ott was also arrested.

 The McDonalds have six children two girls and four boys. When Mrs. McDoniald disappeared from her. pala- tial home she took her daughter, Eliz- abeth, aged 15 years, and her youngest boy, Sidney, aged 3 years. with her. They were found by their father today in the house in this city which their mother occupied with Elliott.
 Mrs. Mcdonald Placed in Cell.
 Although her husband and children pleaded with the woman to return home with them, she refused, and now occupies a cell in City hall. MT. Me- Donald says that his wife's mind is affected and that he will have @ com mission appointed to inquire into her sanity.

DEMANDS UPON THE BANKS
 WILL BE VERY LARGE
Condition of the 1000 National Banks
 Revealed About Dec. 1.

Washington Nov. 15-The condition of the 7.200 national banks of the Unit ed States will be revealed about De- cember 1st in the reports which come in answer to the call issued by tho comptroller of the currency two days ago.
 The complete report will reflect the condition of the banks at what is re- garded by bankers as probably the most critical time of the year. Many officials of the treasury department Le1iSye the banks will be found to have been fortified to meet the exigencies of the autumn months. That the de- mands upon the ba nks will be large is generally conceded. It is estimated that in addition to being called upon to finance some important operations, the banks will have to make the usual year -end settlements amounting to some s150, 600, GOO or $170, ,0OO, 600 before December 31.
 Great interest attaches to the con- dition of the southern banks after the seasons operations in cotton and also in the extent to which the banks of the west have reduced their loans.
 It seems to be generally known among bank officials, however, that a great deal of money belonging to the interior banks which has been placed on call in Wall street will probably be withdrawn before the end of the year, and the best adviceS today were that Wall stret borrowers anticipating such withdrawals already have begun ar ranging for loans from abroad.

CREEPING PAINFULLY ALONG
 WITH HER PROPELLER GONE
Report to Navy Department of Acci- dent to Hamburg American Liner.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The Hamburg American line. steamer Cheruskia is creeping painfully along under sail about six hundred miles east of the Bernudas, with her propeller gone, ac- cording to a report to the navy de- partment She was on her way from the Persian Gulf, bound for New I fork, when the. accident happened
 The Cheruskia was spoken by the United States steamship Wheeling, November Ii, in latitude 3146 north and longitude 50.16 west. being then about 745 miles east of the Bermudas. She reported that she had lost her propeller October 2S and had been making about fourteen miles daily un- der sail on q southwest course, trying to cross the track of the Hamburg American steamers running from EI- rope to St. Thomas.
 The Wheeling, owing to her small size and scant coal supply, was unable to tow the big liner, which already had broken all of her large hawsers in the effort to take--a tow from British steamer nine days previously. When the Wheeling parted company the Cherusl<ia was making good weather. She had four weeks provisions and the Wheeling supplied some extra food.
 The navy department has reported the facts to the Hamburg America n steamship offices in New York. and it is presumed the company will despatch tugs immediately from the nearest port to bring in the steamer

Little Indication Yet That the Retailer Has
 Heard Anything Officially
FOODSTUFF PRICES TAKE A TUMBLE
Packers Reduce Price of Beef Between and Cents Pound-Pork Down About Cents-Bumper Corn Crop Cause of Chicago Commission Men Predict Still Lower Prices Everything Except Eggs

Washington. Nov 15.-The reduc- ton of the price of meat reported in various parts of the country, has struck Washington. Wholesale deal CTS stated today that prices of meats were taking a tumble with the indi- cations of sympathetic relief for the housewife along other lines of food supplies if the retailer only passes rno glad tidings along.
 Tn the wholesale district it was said that the price of beef had been re- ouced between four and five cents a pound by the packers. At the same time the price of pork had gone down about three cents. Hope was held out that mutton and veal and other prod ucts of the packing houses will fol- low in the downward movement. Washington Retailers Make No
 Changes.
 Tt remains problem whether the reduction in prices will reach as far as the consumer. Retailers in Wash Et0n have not heard of the decrease .nicially except as to the price of pork. taef was selling today as high as ever in the retail shops.
 EeIresr1rtaii iivos here of Chicago packers are attribudng the decrease ln prices to the large corn crop. As a result of the crop. they say. the western farmers are overcrow ding the market with their shipments of live stock

TO ABOLISH DRINKING CUP
 FROM TRAINS AND STATIONS
The Common Drinking Cup Branded
 as Public Nuisance.

Albany. N. Y. Nov. 15.-The state department of health is seeking the CO., operation of the various railroads op- eratfnS in New York state in abolish ing the common drinking cup from trains and railroad stations. A state ment issued by the department says:
 There is no question about the pos sibility of the transmission of serious disea ses by the use of a common drinking cup and there is sFno excuse for it on the train or anywhere else, now that penny in the slot machines serve out paper cups and metal collapsible cups can be purchased for a dime.
 The public drinking cup must be branded as public nuisance and must give way under the weight of public opinion enforcing the conclusions of the sanitarian.
 And with the common drinking cup ought to go the common towel, which at times may prove even more dan gerous than the common cup; the friction accompanying the use of the towel can easily transfer germs of disease from one face or hand into the eyes or a scratch in the skin of an- other"

MAYOR 3GAYNOR GIVES ADVICE >
 TO TAxiCAR STRIKERS
Should Abandon Closed Shop Demand
 and Return to Work.

New York, Nov. 15.-After a con- ference with number of taxicab com pany officers today, Mayor Gaynor sent letter to the chairman of the strikers committee, advising the men to abandon their closed shop de- mand and return to work.
 The case is just the reverse of that If the express companies strike writes the mayor. There the men withdrew their demand that only un- lon men be employed and the compa- mes held out for week thereafter on the proposition of discharging all un- ion men, or not employing any which they finally withdrew. for the reason that enlightened public opinion was against it. That same opinion is now as justly against the dema nd of the cab drivers union that the shop be closed to all except union men. It holds that one siIe has no more right to demand closed shops than the oth- CT. Employes are now demanding what they condemned employers for demanding last week.
 I advise you all to go back to work at once, and if you are in danger of attack from street i1lers or loafers. 8 policeman will be sent out with won on the cab, the same as d police es- cort on horse or bicycle was given to every express wagon that went out during that strike; Have no fear that you will not be fully prot acted''
 There were several cases of minor rioting in connection with the strike today.

FIVE SHOTS FIRED
 FROM A SWAMP THIckET. Gave New Impetus to Search for Ran- dits Who Held Uo Paymaster.

Great Harrington Mass, Nov. 15.- Frye shots fired from swamp thicket at q gang of Italian workmen who were laying rails today near the scene of last Saturdays hold-up and robbery gave new impetus to the search for the bandits who relieved Paymaster lime of the Woronoco Construction company of $20,G00 in cash and checks. One of the shots struck Veto Marta : mali in the wrist and then entered his abdomen. He is in critical condition at q Pittstield hospital tonight.
 The shots apparently came from the Gensest part of the swamp. An armed posse was immediately organized, and once again started to beat through the underbrush. but the only result was the discovery of freshly loosened earth. and which the officers are inclined to think marks the spot where the money has been hidden. An indication that It may have been used as hiding place for the stolen funds was the find ing of a small white rag tied to a bush which overhung the sDot, as though to prevent the possibility of the robbers being unable to find the place them selves

San Antonia Tex, Nov 15-There is no truth in a report that armed Mex jeans are marching on Rock Springs, Texas where the Mexican, Rodriguez, was recently burned at a, stake.
 A telephone message from O. C. Pope, sheriff of Edwards county, today stat ed that he has an armed force ready to meet any hostile movement that might be made by Mexicans. He says there are no indications of any such movement at Rock Springs but that upon hearing of reports to that effect he immediately made preparations so as to be prepared in any emergency.
 Every body is on guard and not & Mexican is in sight" is the way he de- scribes the situation.
