JAMES G. SWEENEY

The announcement of Judge
Swec"cy as a candidate for the
democratic nomination for United
States senator at the primary cleo
ton will be found elsewhere.
Judge Sweeney is a native of Ne
vada. He is now on the supreme
bench having been elected to that
high position in 1903. Previous to
his election to the supreme bench
he served one term as attorne y
general of the state. In these
positions he has made an enviable
record.
He has the ability necessary to
make Nevada an excellent repre-
sentative in the senate of the
United States. In addition
to that his knowledge of the needs
of the state in the way of federal
legislation, coupled with his ability
and experience on the bench, fit
him in an eminent degree for the
high Office to which he aspires.
Judge Sweeney is a democrat.
He is one of the old stock. His
future is wrapped up in the pros
perity of his native state. He
knows its wants and has the
courage and ability to present
them in way that will win sup
port from his colleagues.
If the democrats of Nevada want
an active, energetic, fearless repre-
sentative in the senate of the
United States, they should earnest
~ consider the candidacy of Judge
James G. Sweeney at the Septem.
Der primary. If ominated, he
promises to canvass the state and
do his utmost to pass under the
wire ahead of his republican op-
poncnt.
The Independent commends
Judge Sweeney to the thoughtful
consideration of every democrat in
the state of Nevada

A DETACHABLE LADDER

A ladder that can be taken
apart or put together in a few
minutes has been designed by a
Canadian. 1t is of iron or heavy
iron wire frames, and each rung is
separate, hooking on to the next
one and being held firmly in posi-
ton by an pen steadying loop on
one of the lower corners of the sec
ton above. When apart, the
ladder takes up about a foot
square, but when joined it forms a
strong series of steps that may be
as long, of course, as there are
number Of sections.
For fire escapes this ladder may
be found particularly handy, as it
can be slowed away in a little
space when not in use and put to-
gether and lowered from a window
in short time, forming an escape
on which no person need fear to
trust his or her safety. If it had
been invented in the days when
Opponents from castle keeps were
proper it would probably have put
the rope ladder out Of commission
as means of exit. - Baltimore

LETTER FROM MIR. RIvEs.
"SOme Nuts For Politicians and
Ward-Heelers to Crack"

Editor of The News: The title of
this article is borrowed from the late
Judge John T. Clarke. The subject
matter is my own, suggested by the
late reform movement in this state.
Why is it a patriotic duty to ride
on railroad pass procured as a
member of the house, and charge up
railroad fare as expenses, when as a
( representative of, say, a soap factory.
and a sign of graft to accept the
same pass by a non-reformer to ride
to and from his home?
Why is a bride not a bride when
| the beneficiary of the bride signs a
note without date as to when and
where made, and when and where
due, for political work to be done for
the giver of the bride?
Why is it a sign OF political heresy
for democrat to vote with a di-
vided republican party, and sign
of far-sighted patriotism to vote for,
! say, Mckinley, in 1896?
If man for personal gain does
any of the things forbidden by an
employer against the interest of his
employer in private or semi-private
life what assurance have the people
that he would not as an office-holder
use his office for his personal gain
as against the interests of his con-
stituents?
What influence can a senator have
out of his district on an issue of the
day, during a recess of the Iegisla-
ture, that he could not have on his
brother senators during the session
of the legislature?
What makes reformer such an
ass he can't understand that his ears
will always give him away?
Why is Hoke the worst fooled man
in the state if he thinks the decision
in the MeLendon case an endorse
ment of all the freak legislation
passed during his administration?
Now, cit is three months and
comes the harvest" the state pri
mary, and it would be we'll for
kindergarten ward-heelers to begin
the study of the above questions, for
if they continue to make the air
foul with their braying some more
pointed and personal questions will
be asked. ''And they shall be afraid
of that which is high" etc. The
time for repentance is passed with
some of the babes who, Sin spite
of age have not learned wisdom"
And the time is "when a whip for
the horse, a bride for the ass, and
rod for the FOOLS back" is impera-
tive for the good of the owners, the
people of the land.

A Curious Sport With Which the

What bull fighting is to Spain pig

of bears gave out a substitute had

BE IN Session Several Weeks.
President Smith May Retire.
INDEPENDENCE, Mo.-The an
nual general conference of the Re-
organized Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints was opened here
today with 1000 delegates and Wis
itors in attendance from many parts
of the world. The conference was
opened by President Joseph Smith,
who yesterday celebrated his fiftieth
anniversary as head of the Mormon
church.
The morning was devoted to open
ing ceremonies and a sermon at IL
O'Clock, and the first business meet
ing was held this afternoon. The
conference will be in session several
weeks, and will dispose of a large
amount of routine business. 1t is
rumored that President Joseph
Smith, who is son of the founder
of Mormonism, may announce his re-
tirement at the present conference.
He will be succeeded by his son,
Frederick M. Smith, grandson of the
prophet, upon whom in recent years
has fallen a large share of his faith
er's work, because of the i'll health
of the elder Smith.
Joseph Smith, who is now in his
seventy-eighth year, is a cousin of
Joseph F. Smith, the leader of the
Utah Mormons. The two branches
of the sect, however, have little in
common. The reorganized church is

adorned her ears.
The detectives heart was throbbing
wildly. He could scarcely contain
himself. It was a case of love at first
sight. The hot blood Of the Italian
was surging to his head. He was quite

Collecting his scattered senses he
was soon able to convince the young
woman that he was a man Of conse-

was but casual. he was greatly de-

rendered Internationally. In. impas-
stoned terms he declared his love and
offered her his heart and hand.
The young woman, although seem
ingly overcome, was altogether too
modest to accept. Somewhat taken
back by this premature declaration,
she was sufficiently self-poised to as
sure him that he was pleasing to her
and that she deeply appreciated his
attention. But she could not take any
decisive step in so important a mat
ter without first consulting her father.
She felt that it was her first duty to
save her brother. To accomplish this
she was ready to sacrifice life itself.
Merito, never at a loss for a sub
terfuge, proposed to interest himself
and secure condonement of her
brothers offense through the assist
ance of the Italian consul at New
York. This ray of light was present
ed in fine Italian style and must have
sounded hopeful to the ears of Miss
Brownie. Her face now fairly beamed
with Joy as she assured him she
would willingly give all she possessed
in the world to effect such a result.
She promised to marry him should he
succeed in saving her brother from
prosecution for his past offenses.
The day following this I received at
my New York office a letter marked
personal" which read as follows:
United States Hotel, Boston, Mass.
my Dear Chief:

learned everything. She is on the wav

homo and led to Canada, where she
was expecting to meet him.
Learning this, the detective was
deeply interested, not only in the
brother, but in the sister as we'll. In
deed, she was the most attractive per-
son he had ever before met. To hts
mind she was everything that woman
should be. Wealthy, educated and af-
fectionate, she was brave and roman
tic enough to venture out alone and
battle the cold world for the purpose
Of redeeming her wayward brother.
So gentle and unassuming did she ap-
pear that he was sure she had a
heart overfowing with love.
AS these thoughts came meandering
through his brain he saw in his eager
ness the opportunity of his life. He
would somehow be instrumental in
saving the brother and thus win the
fair girls neutrality-suspicious. her love.
He felt sure that he could trust to her
generous heart to forgive him for de-
ceiving her by palming himself of as
the son of a nobleman.
When the couple arrived in Boston
hotel, where they took breakfast to-
gether. The detective now thought
Miss Brownie more fascinating than
ever and at the first opportunity he
threw discretion to the winds and be.
gan wootng in the most approved
Italian style. Pressing his suit with
an ardor more impetuous than con-
ventional, he begged her to become
his wife.
It appears that her deep sorrow,
her soft words, and above all, her
tears, had quite bewildered him. Real
beauty in distress was too much for
the warm-blooded Latin, and he sur

to conceal He had learned every
thing. She was young and sensitive
maiden who had courageously ven
tured from her fathers home with
the purpose of meeting a much loved
but hayward brother. How, then,
could he help sympathizing with her?
Even though his representations in
regard to himself were falsely made
for the purpose Of obtaining her con-
fidence, he believed he was Efficiently
shrewd to square himself with her at
the proper time
AS deception is ofttimes a part of
the detectives stock in trade, he
thought there could be no great harm
in it after all was understood. 1t
seems that he told her the secret of
his being the son of an Italian noble
man Of great wealth and that he was
travelling incog to crafty his curiosity.
While the story he told was wholly
false, he was quite good looking
enough and sufficiently genteel in ap-
pearance to bear out the statement
From what occurred it was apparent
that the young woman herself was
somewhat impressed and quite uncer-
tain as to the true status of the de-
tective
Her story as told to Merito appeared
straightforward and truthful. Her
mother was dead. Her father, al

as kind hearted as he was enterpr1-
sing, and upon the impulse of the mo-
ment he pushed himself to the front
and with the politest of French bows,
said: please excuse me, young lady,
l am very much panied to witness
your distress, and should be glad to
assist you. If you will allow me
think can procure you stateroom.'
In modest tones she thanked him
for his kindness and confdingly Of
fered him the ten dollar bill that had
been returned to her by the chamber
maid.
Never mind the money until
know what l can do for you"
He thereupon went below. The
sister, he thought, is not responsible
for the sins Of her brother; besides,
the making of her acquaintance might
give him better opportunity for dis
covering the whereabouts of the man
he was seeking. In his imagination
he was sure that she was going to
meet him.
This was his opportunity, thought
he. He would lngratlate himself into
the good graces of this young woman
and if possible learn the whereabouts
of her brother.
The oily-tongued detective had no
great difficulty in securing the coveted
prize. Steamboat clerks are always
wise enough to reserve an extra ticket
or two for special purposes.
When Merito returned to the grand
salon and handed the young lady her
tickets she was profuse in her thanks
and expressed her deep obligation. As
she held the tickets between her
jeweled fingers she beamed smile
and displayed set of pearly white
teeth, encircled by pair of ruby lips,
and oh. such eyes! More sparkling
