But one small corner of the shed on
the dock was destroyed. This caught
fire from the burning planks under

from the bay and sparks from the
planking ignited the shed. The Scan

HON. ROBERT |. HUBBARD

The announcement of Hon.
Robert L. Hubbard as democratic
candidate for the congressional
nomination appears today. Mr..
Hubbard is a practicing attorney at
Reno. He came to Nevada several
years ago and settled in Goldfield,
where he practiced his profession
until he moved to Reno.
Mr.. Hubbard has but few
acquaintance in this part of the
State, but those who know him
speak very highly of his ability and
character. All bear testimony to
his fitness to represent Nevada in
the congress of the United States.
From what we have been able to
learn about Mr.. Hubbard, the de-
mocrats will make no mistake in
supporting him at the primary
election. We, therefore. commend
him to the earnest consideration of
the democratic voters of Ell O
county.

OLD. Time PUNISHMENT

" A record in the library Of con-
gress contains an account lof the
adventures of a certain Hubbard,
who was sentenced in Boston to
the stocks for having INDUCED in
an understandable fit of i'll temper,
says Harper's Weekly. When he
had taken his seat for the day there
came along drove Of swine, which
seemed to cast upon him those
leering looks that only a fat pig can
bestow. A dog followed smiling
at the prisoners feet and making

there are new neighborhoods. The
people are constantly changing.
For the customer the mail order
business has a fascination. It is
like a lottery. We are not prepared
to say what its future will be, but
one thing is certain, and that is,
that the mail order house is the
greatest enemy that the people have
and peope are sending out their
money by the millions of dollars
to these catalogue houses, and
getting a lot of junk in return,
and the catalogue houses never pay
a cent of taxes to keep up the roads,
schools, churches and other public
enterprises in your community.
These catalogue houses also destroy
home markets, because they get the
cash out of the country and there
is none to return for the produce
of the farmers, and yet the farmer
will still continue to stifle his own.
bushes by sending away the cash.
1t might be added in this con-
nection that local merchants are
largely to b.ame for the inroad of
the catalogue houses in any com:-
munity. The catalogue house uses
the merchants only weapon, that
of advertising. They scatter thei
advertising matter broadcast, and,
are trying to buy more advertising
matter all the time. Every year
the local papers in towns and over
the country turn down thousands
of dollars worth of. advertising
from catalogue houses. . This is
done out of loyalty to the home
merchant, but in many instances
we are sorry to say, the merchants
do not always reciproacate by
patronizing the local paper, even
though they see the excellent effect

amount of business the catalogue
houses are taking away from them.

DYNAMITE IN STOVE

Yesterday forenoon Perry Dovell
had an experience that he does not
care to repeat. He went to his
cabin about 9 O'Clock to shaw e
himself. He did not think it
necessary to make "a wood fire to
heat what water he needed, but
stuck some old papers in the stove.
While these were burning, Perry
walked around the room not think
ing of the danger that lurked in
the stove. The papers had nearly
burned out when there was an ex-
plosion that sea tered pieces of the
stove about the room and through
the roof.
Perry had partly turned from
the stove when the explosion came
AID pieces of the stove struck him on
the side of the head, in his face
and the fleshy part of one of his
hips, making painful but not
serious wounds.
He is at loss to account for the
explosives being in the stove as he
has had none about his premises.
He thinks the stuff must have been
dropped down the pipe into the
stove, but has no suspicion as to
who would be guilty of SUI oh a
trick.

Foolish FIinus at Farmer

There is no form of idiocy that
makes me madden than does the at
tempt of a stage comedian to make
a joke at the expense Of the modern
farmer" says Fred Storm. "The
chances are that the farmer the butt
of the. alleged joke, has ten dollars
where the so-called comedian has ten
cents. and that he is a much better
educated man.
81 was in playhouse the other
night with q farmer friend from Mon.
tor, when one Of these comedians
came out and sang a silly song about
the poverty and persistency Of the
man on the farm. -.
my farmer friend smiled innocent
ly. WE'LL he said, my farm brought
me in over $4,000 last year and my
wife and have just expended $500 on
q trip to California. That may be
poverty and 'parsimony,' but those

Then an Indian appeared, who in
a drunken rage, stimulated by some
fancied injury, rushed at Hubbard
with tomahawk, probably intend
ing nothing worse, howe. Ter, than
to give him a severe fright, which
he certainly succeededin DOING.
Help came from an unexpected
quarter, for at that moment an old
bull came tearing down the road.
His attention was attracted by the
sto cks, and with a roar he pre-
pared for a charge.
Alarmed in his turn, the savage
dashed off. The bull made a dash
at the stocks and carried away the
corner post, but without even
grazing the object of his apparent
wrath. Whether he was disguised
by the little he had accomplished
or his animosity was thus satisfied,
he started off, believing and
shaking his head, much to the relief
Of the said Hubbard.
And then the unfortunate man
was left in comparative peace to
his ownmeditations and the cutting
