KANSRS CITY CHILDREN
GO TO SCHOOL HUNGRY

One out of every three children
who attend school in Kansas City
begins its days work hungry.
according to the report Of the
truancy officers made to the
superintendent of public schools.
This, say the officers does not
mca that all Of the children do
not receive food. but that pro.
portion do not receive the kind of
nourishment which fits them for
their studies.
Many of the children IL is. said
receive very little of any food
before going to school, and one of
the truancy officers declared he
knew of instances where all the
children received for breakfast
was q dill pickle.
And this is the result Of the
boasted prosperity this country
has enjoyed under republican rule.
Tariff taxation beyond the necessi.
ties Of the government has ad.
vanced the cost of living to such
an extent that children suffer for
the want of food. No such charge

The Western Pacific railroad
company filed a suit against c. P.
Webster of GerlaCh y,sterda~.
complaining that he was trespas-
sing on their property at that place,
conducting a saloon there. and
contemplating the erection of a
frame building. They asked an
order restraining him from build

has been heard.
Judge Pike issued an order re-
quiring the railroad company to
file a bond of $1,000 and for the
defendant to show cause why a
restraining order should not be
issued.
The complaint states that Webster
is maintining a saloon on property
owned sby the plaintiff in Gcrlah
and That he has no rlgft on the
land. They are unable to force
him Off. they declare and he
intends shortly to erect a frame
building there.

ENORMOUS DEATH ROLL DUE
TO RAILROAD ACCIDENTS

The increase of deaths and
injuries caused by the railways of
the Unitd Stats has brought forth
a plea for conservation of men,
from X. G. Richards, general claim
agent of the Chicago and North
western road, one of the few roads
that have boldly admitted the facts
publicly and set about attempting
reforms. Each year and each
quarter of each year has seen the
totals of casualties mount higher,
the interstate mmerce figures
for the last ten years being 868, 003
killed or injured, the total number
killed being $4,000. more men
than were killed on the union side
during the civil war;" said Mr..
Richards, in a booklet he has Just
completed, and in which he says.
in referring to the number killed:
During ten years in the pursuit
of a PEACEFUL industry we have
killed more people than were killed
in a five years war"
Mr.. Richards points out the
enormous total time lost as the
result of injuries, a loss of time
that increases the hazard and ex.
pense Of the railways because It
diminishes their efficiency. He
adds the ominous fact.
THE last report made by the
interstate commerce commission

WILL LIVE IN ELKO

The attention of our readers is
called to the statement of Charles
Lee Horse y. democratic nominee
for Judge of this judicial district.
In this statement Mr.. Horsey says
that if elected julXe, he will make
his home in Elko during his term
of office. The reasons he gives,
for this step are that the volume
of court business is much greater
here than in either of the other
counties of the district and that
Elko is the Only place in the ditrict
where a judge can have access to
libraries sufficiently extensive to
enable a judge to preform his
duties properly. In telling the
people of Lincoln county before
the election that he intends to
make his home in Elko if elected,
Mr.. Horsey has done the proper
thing. Had he waited until after
his election to announce his change
of residence, he would be liable to
the charge of obtaining the votes
of the people of Lincoln county
by false pretenses.
The Independent is pleased that
MI. Horsey has decided to become
a resident of Elko in the event OF
his election. The announcement
of his intention to do so will make
him many friends at the polls.

STATEMENT TO THE VOTERS


To the Voters of the Fourth
Judicial District of the State of
Nevada:
/ feel it my duty to express
clearly to the voters of this judicial
district my decision in the matter
of my place of residence in the
event of my election to the Judge
ship. and this being the first issue
of the Chronicle since | reached
such decision. have adopted this
means of giving the people the
benefit of knowing early in the
campaign what that decision is,
and the reasons therefor. so that
there will be no opportunity for
mistake.
1 have positively decided that it
will be my duty, in The event of my
election, to reside in the town of
Elko, the county seat of Elko
county.
The reasons prompting this
decision r. as follows:
/. About twice as many persons
are compelled to transact their
legal business at Elko as transact
such business at Phoebe or Las
Vegas. and consequently. the
judicial proceedings necessarily
had in Elko are about twice as
extensive as those occurring in
either of the other two county
seats, and as the Judge should
reside at the point affording the
greatest convenience to the greatest
number of people, | believe this
situation alone makes it my duty
to reside in Elko.
2. 1t is a positive fact that the
town of Elko is the only place
within this judicial district where
the Judge of the district may have
access to libraries sufficiently ex-
tensive to enable him to perform
his duties properly. A Judge can
no more do good work without
necessary books than n carpenter
can without necessary tools, and
if the Judge should reside at either
Phoebe or Las Vegas and attempt
to perform the Important work of
the district, it would be an injury
not only to the people of Elko
county but to the people of Lincoln
and Clark counties as well.
trust my motive in making this
declaration may not be misunder-
stood. IL the office of Judge of
this district we're appointive, and
not dependent upon election, and
l should receive the appointment
to said Office, / should feel it my
duty to act as herein stated. and
should so act.
desire to state fur her that |
feel a deep attachment to Lincoln
and Clark counties and their people,
the great majority of whom have
been my loyal friends in the past
years, and my high regard for
them and their interests will as
truly remain with me, if my election
requirs me to reside in Elko. as
if / should reside in either Phoebe
ii Las Vegas.

The story Of how the mistletoe gets
on the trees is most interesting one.
Covering the mistletoe twigs are pear
ly white berries. These come In the
winter season, when food is compare

them freely. Now, when a robin eats a
cherry he swallows simply the meat
and fiips the stone away. The seed
Of the mistletoe the bird cannot flip.
1t is sticky and holds to his bill. His
only resource is to wipe 1t OF, and he
does 30. leaving 1t sticking to the
branches Of the tree on which he is
sitting at the time. This seed sprouts
after a time, and not finding earth
which, indeed, Its ancestral habit has
made 1t cease wanting-it sinks its roots
into the bark Of the tree and hunts
there for the pipes that carry the sap.
Now, the sap In the bark is the very
richest in the tree, far richer than
that in the wood, and the mistletoe
gets from its host the choicest of food
With strange foresight 1t does not

he said. be careful that you are pre-

clothes, $3.50 for a pair Of shoes. 80
cents for a hair cut and shave. Then
walk up to the job wherever 1t is and
ask for 1t like a man"
This advice was greeted with great
applause, and the railway president
sat down amid a storm of cheers. The
very next morning a dapper looking
young fellow walked into the outer
Office Of the orator and. handing note
to the clerk, said, please give this to

lows:

so cents for hair cut and a shave l
