Married in Prison.

A strange marriage recently took
place between young French couple.
M. Louis Jean Savenac and Mile.
Marie Octovier. The bride and
bridegroom have received 4 dowry
from the state. The bridegroom was
awarded on the day OF his engage.
ment seven years hard labor; the
bride got two years on the same day.
They met in the passage leading from
the courtroom to the cells and
plighted their troth. They were mar.
ried in one OF the prisons In Paris.
The jailers passed round the hat and
bought them their wedding rings. and
In presenting them to the happy pair
the governor Of the prison made the
pretty allusion to their condition that
their friends all hoped that these two
little rings would be the heaviest In
the chain which bound them.

proper spirit of cooperation is is shown
ny the business men of Elko, the roads
to Jarbidse can he put i'll good condi-
ton next spring and the trade of that
district can be diverted this way. Twin
Falls. Idaho, is nearer to Jarbidge
than Elko. and the people of that town
are wide awake and So far have corral
ed all the trade. Elko is the natural
gateway to Jarbidge and has many adj
vantages over the Idaho town, but the
people on the outside do not know this
and will not know it unless Elko wakes
up and makes it known. Now is the
time to act.
Engineer J. Reardon, Brakeman r.
A. Knoll and Student Fireman Clyde
Bixbee were killed in the collision at
Lemay yesterday morning and Engineer
A. R. Hinley had one of his feet cut off
and Fireman George Bridenbecker had
one leg broken. Several other train
men were more or less injured. Brake
man Knoll was adjusting the air hose
between two cars when the collision
occurred and his body was tlattened to
the thickness of an inch and could not
be released until three hours after
when the relief train arrived, Engineer
Hinley and Fireman Bridenbecker were
supposed to be fatally injured. The
engine of the passenger train landed
on top of the engine of the freight train
and both were completely wrecked.

Chamber of Commerce Meeting

A meeting of the bankers, merchants,
lawyers and other prominent men of
Elko was held last night at the Office
of Mr.. Charles b. Henderson, for the
purpose of considering what should be
done i'll order to bring to Elko all bene-
fit that it should receive from the ex-
pected rush into Jarbidge.
The meeting was called to order by
| Mr. Edgar Reinhart who nominated
Mr.. John Henderson to be chairman.
MIR. Henderson in a well worded decli-
nation said that since the old chamber
of commerce, which existed here u few
years ago, had not been dissolved, he
thought that that body should be re-
vived and take up this matter; and as
Mr.. Reinhart was vice president Of that
chamber of commerce he ought to re-
main in the chair.
A motion was made that commit
tee of three be appointed to confer with
the county commissioners to discuss the
feasibility Of building a road to JAR
bidge; to get all the information posi-
BILE in regard to roads to that point
and to make map of the country be-
tween Elko and Jarbidge. The motion
was unanimously carried and the chair
man appointed Messrs. Willis, Nc
Bride and Creighton on the commit
tee.
1t was decided to hold a public meet
ing OH Wednesday evening at 7:3O p. IN.
at the courthouse for the purpose of re-
organizing and reviving the chamber
of commerce of Elko. The committee
appointed as above mentioned was re-
quested TO make a report at the coming
meeting on Wednesday evening.
Addresses were made by several of
those present on various subjects lead
ing to methods to be used to further the
advertising and publication of informa-
ton on ElkO as the most accessible point
from which to get to Jarbidge, and it
was also suggested that steps be taken
to secure the mail route into the Jar
bidge from Elko.
Mr.. Calvin, representing the mining
aggregation, spoke of the manner in
which Oakland, California, was boosted
and offered some excellent suggestions
as to how Elko should work for the
Jarbid8e rush to come through Elko

he claimed descent from Tassoni, the
famous Magyar leader, it was known |
that this last scion Of the Eelynagies
lived in extreme poverty on the ances;
trail estates in the mountains. He
fought three duels and each time,
wounded his adversary, in the last in

warning to future rivals. "a.
To attain my object I took just the

adaptability contemplates # a man be in a great
hurry to reach the second floor Of modern office
building and as he enters the door sees the elevator
that going up already damned to the doors, common
sense turns him at once to the stairway. Before the
elevator reaches the floor he may be entering the office
he seeks.
This is adaptability to circumstances maybe IN
