Red hot!
Right off the bat.
Over the plate at that.
Every ball strike with George
S. Nixon at, the bat, every strike de-
veloped into home run.
Republicanism hummed in Tono-
pah last night and from indications
1t will continue to hum until after
the election. Never in the history
OF this camp has such a crowd gath
cred in the Miners Exchange hall
to listen to political arguments, as
was in evidence last evening. The
interior of the hall was crowded
and standing room was at a prem
ium Many were forced to stand
outside the entrance and listen to
the addresses. The early part of
the evening was enlivened by music
as produced by the Tonopah mill
tary band, while red fire at inter-
walls along the main thoroughfares
announced that there was something
doing. And there was something
doing, both before, at, and after the
meeting.
The candidates, Senator George
S. Nixon, e. E. Roberts, nominee for
representative in congress; T. L..
Oddie, after the governorship; Con
Ahern, surveyor general; J. w. Leg
ate, clerk of the supreme court, w.

and J. A. Buchanan, nominee for
assemblymn from Nye county, ar

and put in the afternoon greeting
old acquaintances. All were some

past two weeks, which have been of
the strenuous sort. 1t had been one
continual round of speech-making
and long rides over the desert coun-
try and slight hoarseness was ap-
parent in the voices of the different
speakers
The gathering was called to order
at o'clock by Hon. Hugh H.
Brown, who officiated as chairman
throughout. After few introduce
tory remarks he introduced 7. l..
Oddie, and for fully five minutes the
house resounded with cheers from
his admirers. Senator Oddie was
never extended heartier welcome
than that which he received from
his home folk and that he was graf
flied, was evidenced by his de-
meanor
At the outset Mr.. Oddie remarked
that he was not going to talk of
himself as he was without an ar
gument on that score. He paid a
high tribute to his opponent in the
primaries, Judge w A. Massey, and
stated that the returns of the pri-
maries had indicated that Massey
was not thought of the less, nor
was 1t measure of ability; but
that the vote in Nye county was
evidence that it was his (Oddie's)
home county. With regard to the
state platform. the speaker said it
was not the work of one man. or a
set of men; it was the handwork of
the entire convention.

NUM-, about eight inches long, which
are the ends of lightning rods-the
latter communicating with the dome
below in such way that any chance
thunderbolt may be carried by that
route to the ground through the me-
dunn of the rainspouts. That these
represent no useless precaution may
be judged from the fact that some of
the points in question have been half
consumed by lightning, which hits the
lady hard and often when thunder
storms are passing over.
The task of scruhbing the statue is
merely incidental to that of painting
the dome of the Capitol, which has to
be done every four years. On each
occasion the dome receives only one
coat; but this requires no Jess than
1000 gallons of paint, One man could
do the job in just about two years, but
forty painters are able to accomplish
It in not much more than a fortnight,

them by carrying up the raw material
Swinging stages are used for the low

portion Is reached by curved ladders,
which are shifted along sidewise as
required.
The dome of the Capitol was orig.
inally Of wood, covered with a sheath

present one in 1S65-which is to say
that the latter was finished In that
year. It's construction having occupied

BR|GANDs OF CHINA
OUTLAWS ARE POPULAR WITH

Robin Hoods OF the Middle Kingdom

Outlaws, or declared brigands, are

The are called in the inland provinces,
where the pure court language Is the
orthodox standard, by the name of
kouankouen. or desperate. But on
the borders Of the empire, in Man
churia and on the edge of Monaghan
Tartary, the Turkish words "orolis
and "haiduck" come into use-borrow-
ed from the nomadic tribes of the
Transoxianian steppe.
All these words, Chinese and Turk
ish, denote a daring and avowed bri-
gand, an open foe to law, a thing
most hateful of all others to bu-
reaucratic pedants like the formal
mandarins.
The kouan-kouen are net, however,
the most unpopular persons In the
Central Land. They are admired by
women, praised by men, sung of In
the rude ballads of the peasantry, and
when they mingle in the crowd at
village festival they are regarded
pretty much as the mountain bandit
is viewed by the rustics of Corsica
and Sardinia.
There have been Chinese Robin

satin boots, and quaffed corn brandy
in the intervals Of their professional
duties, no doubt, and the hardy ma
RAIDERS are not seldom liberal OF
their ill-gotten wealth, and scatter
among the lowly what they wrest
from the moneyed world.
These free-handed depredators, the
kouan- kouen, do not rely entirely to
the popularity which their exploits
and occasional gifts create for them
among the INDECENT classes. They have
confederates in the cities. Their
spies haunt the markets and hang
about the inns. They have allies In
the enemy's camp and pay handsome

brigadier gives timely warning OF an
expedition against band. There
sleek cashier notifies by writing that
such and such bales, or so much
ready money, the property of his en-
ployers, will traverse a certain road or
canal on a particular day.
The kouan-kouen are bold as well
as willy. Often It happens that they
have been honest, well meaning folks
in their time, goaded into cutlawry by
some persecution on the part of the
magistrates, or stripped of their pat
rimony by lawsuit.
Many of them can show the scars
of torture wrongly inflicted by some
capricious tyrant Others have seen
a son die in the "cangue,' or stocks
or under the lash, for light or mag
mary fault. Some have been mem
bers of secret society and detention

Not every one can be a member
of these predatory clubs. They test
their neophytes by severe initiatory
penance, by hunger and pain and IA
tigue. A tremendous oath of obedi-
ence and fidelity Is enforced by the
certainty of dire vengeance on the
false brother, and the Chinese avow
that the faith observed by these rob
bers towards each other is remark
ably evinced, even under torture the
most elaborate.
