Joe Josephs
Wins Decision

Late yesterday afternoon the Su-
preme Court of Nevada handed down
the decision in the mandamus case
wherein Joe Josephs applied to the
higher court to compel Secretary Of
State Douglass to place his name on
the ticket as candidate for the nom
lnation for Clerk OF the Supreme
Court, and office at the present time
held IN an ex ot1lcio capacity by the
Secretary OF State.
The opinion rendered is by Chief
Justice Norcross and is concurred in
by the other two members of the
court and the case is decided in ia
vor OF Josephs on the grounds that
the office is constitutional one and
that the Legislature in combining the
office with that of Secretary OF State
exceeded its authority.
Shortly after the decision was rem
dered Mr.. Josephs' papers were filed
and also the papers of Mr.. Jack Leg
ate, who will be a candidate against
Mr. Josephs, his name being placed
on the Republican ticket.
The case has attracted a great deal
u attention in all parts of the state
'ut the outcome is not surprising
me.

to life imprisonment fer murder in
the first degree by jury some
months ago and who was granted a
new trial, pleaded guilty to. man
slaughter yesterday before Judge Orr
and was sentenced to nnc years in
the state penitentiary.
Ten years was the maximum sen
tence that can be imposed for man
slaughter and District Attorney
Woodburn argued that the Indian
should not be shown further clemen.
cy. Attorney Curler appeared fol
Jim. Several Indians waited outsid.
the court to hear the sentence. and
seemed impressed when told that it
was nine years.
The crime for which George Jim
must serve sentence was one of the
most atrocious in the history of the
city. From fifteen to eighteen strokes
of an axe had been used to put Skim
mcrhorn out of the way and his head
was nearly severed from his body
The features were gashed so that
they were unrecognizable. The tron

hear of anything like that IN a Jail :
| The meals are sent over to the jail
from the Park Hotel, and for Federal
prisoners the government pays the
Sheriff and the Sheriff pays the ho-
tel twenty-five cents a meal, and for
the city or county prisoners the local
authorities pay the Sheriff the same
sum. twenty-five cents for each meal.
This is very decent treatment, and !
never heard man kick" about the
food in the Carson Jail.

of men than Edward Regan, Sheriff
of Ormsby County, in charge of the

of goodwill existing between these
officers and the men behind the bars
is the fruit OF kindness, justice ana
courtesy on the part OF the Jail of

an election these men should never
leave office. Sheriff Regan, Deputy
Sheriff Ellis. and Constable Grant, |

A ROYAL BOOK BUYER.
The Purchase Of Diderot's Library by
Catherine II, of Russia.

The Purchase of Diderot's Library by
Catherine II. of Russia.
Empress Catherine IL. of Russia was
a great reader and a lover Of books.
One of her services to letters in Russia
was the purchase of the libraries of
Voltaire and Diderot. She was warm
friend and admirer Of these French
philosophers, and their work interest
ed her because she was eager to learn
new theories of politics and govern
ment voltaire's library Of about 1000
volumes is now part of the Rus
sian imperial library in the Hermitage
palace, and in the hall devoted to it
Is Houdon's statue of Voltaire.
The story of GATHERINGS purchase of
Diderot's library is interesting. 1t is
creditable to her tact and her generos-
ity. Diderot named $4,000 as the
price of his library. Catherine IL.
offered him $4,000 and named as a
condition of the bargain that her pur-
chase should remain with Diderot until
his death. Thus Diderot, without leav-
ing Paris, became GATHERINGS librarian
In his own library. AS her librarian
he was given a yearly salary Of $1,000.
One year this salary was not paid.
Then Catherine wrote to her librarian
that she could not have him or her
library suffer through the negligence
of a treasurer's clerk and that she
should send him the sum that she had
set aside for the care and increase OF
her library for fifty years. At the end
of that period she would make new
arrangements. A check for 100000
accompanied this letter.

Chinese Business Honesty.

With due respect for others. the
Chinaman is perhaps the most honor
able and upright business man in the
world today. His business principles
are founded entirely upon honesty,
and he adheres to the policy with the
insistence of leech. The chase after
dollars stops if he has to resort to low
tricks to get them. OF course little
thing like telling falsehood occasion
ally does not bother him so much, but
when it comes to plotting and schem'
ing to defraud some one the task be.
comes distasteful. The equal Of the
Japanese in initiative and foresight,
he is much their superior when integ'
rity is concerned. A japanese does
not think twice before deciding to gel
the best of you. He calculates that
you are liable to change your mind OF

little mental debate as to the propriety
of cheating you.-Bookkeeper
