A reading of the list of candi-

coming primaries for state office
shows some interesting facts. To
begin with there are ffty-four who
are wiling to immediate themselves
on the altar of patriotism. Thy are
politically divided as follows:
Republicans, ID; Democrats, "a;
Socialists 6 Geographically, the
following counties are repre-
sented: Washoe, Is; Nye, IL;

z; Elko, 2; and White Pine, Lander,
H umboldt, Churchill and Clark
counties, each Douglas, Lyon
and Lincoln have no aspirants for
state office according to the
published list. This fact may
come from one of two conditions,
either they have no material for
political honors or they are too
prosperous to seek them. Bonanza.

There is NOR Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

Fish as Food for London.rs.

The port of London's proposed duty
on fish and fruit reminds us that fish
at least has always been an important
constituent of the food supply Of the
metropolis, and in early times the
Thames itself yielded an enormous
supply. Westminster abbey formerly
claimed 1.-THE of the Thames fish
cries from Gravesend to Staines. and
lawsuit was successfully maintained
against the rector of Rotherhithe in
1852 on the ground that St Peter had
in vision granted the first haul of sal.
mon in the Thames to Edric the Sax
on on condition that a 1.-THE of fish
was annually paid to the abbey. And
once year for centuries one Of the
fishermen as representative Of Edric
took his place beside the prior. and
brought in a salmon for st Peter.
which was carried in state through
the refectory.

THE BALLOT DECISION

Inc decision of the supreme
court on the primary election
ballots opens wide the door for
bribery and corruption at the
election. If a candidate or set of
candidates wish to corrupt voters
all he or they have to do is to in
struct the purchased voter to write
IN the name of John Doe, or Richard
Roe for some particular Office ard
then check them of as The ballots
are counted. In this way, the pur-
chaser can tell whether the goods
have been delivered.
The decision was written by
Chief Justice Norcross and concur
red in by Justice Sweeney. Justice
Talbot filed separate concurring
decision in which he held that the
writing of names on ballots might
make it possible to indentify them
and the law should be amended in
this particular.
The Carson News in commenting
on the decision says:
The decision of the court was
the sole topic of conversation last
evening, and considerable doubt
was evident as to its meaning.
There was also no little surprise
manifest when the boundless op-
portunities for freebooting voting
were explained AS the law now
stands, under the Interpretation of
the court, there is nothing to pre-
vent a voter from writing the name
OF any elector in the blank space
under each party designation.
And in this lies little joker. For
likewise, there is nothing to pre-
vent a democratic voter, who calls
for a democratic ballot, ignoring
the printed name of a candidate for
any office on his ballot and substi-
tuting therefore the name of a
candidate On the republican or
socialist ballot.
This opening will doubtless lead
to several frame-ups and from this
time on feverish campaign may be
looked for. A republican candidate
need not confine his campaign with
in the line of his own party, but
may go into the field and seek the
support of voters of all parties. 1t
follows that democratic candidate
with opposition may do the same
thing, and the primary campaign
is turned into battle royal.
The. suit was a friendly one
throughout. County Clerk Patter-
son was selected as the quasi de-
PENDANT on account of his being the
nearest to the hearing, as the state
ment of Mr.. Fowler will show,

OIL is CASH
IN OKLAHOMA
WELLS ARE TURNED INTO REAL
MoNEY-sOME BIG DEALS ON

New York, Aug. 21.-'Millions OF

and hiked back to Oklahoma as
fast as they could without seeming
to be impolite.
The cause of the haste was that
oil wells had been turned into mon.
ey as the result of the consumma-
tion of one of the biggest deals in oil
wells that had been made in years.
1t was the perfection of plans made
by Messrs. William S. Porter Of
San Francisco and George 9.
Priestley to develop the oil wells
of that portion of Oklahoma that
is in the radius of Bartlesyll,e.
The work of obtaining options Oh
wells in that section has been car
ried on secretly FOR months and re-
ceived a further impetus when the
Central Fuel company was organ
lied three months ago at the Plaza
Hotel with William s. rorter as
president; George c. Priestley vice
president, and E. S. Heller. attor-
ley for the Union Trust company Of

The capitalization or the company
was placed at $15,000,00O. Through
the instrumentality of Mr. Samuel

and one which will be able to fur.
nish the commodity TO the world
for generations to come. 1t is now
only eigIt years old and has al
ready outdistanced many other prom.

Mr. William Porter confirmed the
fac, that oil will be largely used
as fue on the Southern Pacific rail
road, and stated that, at the very
least, 90 per cent of it would be
sold as fuel oil and that, as it is
ieilning oil, it is admirably adapted
for that use. He has already made
contracts to supply the oil for fuel
ling the section of the Union Pacif.
ic that runs from Ell Paso to New
Dreams and from the Gulf northward
to Dallas, Texas.
The oil suitable for use as lubrl-
cants. gasoline ana medicinal pur-
poses will be bought up by John
W. Gates, who at present has no
interest in the Central Fuel com
pany except as patron, according
to Mr.. Porter.
