THE BLESSINGS OF THE DESERT

Terrors and discomforts of heat
on the desert, at least in the estab-
lished communitis, fade into in
significance in the light of the deadly
heat that is now prostrating and
killing scores of people in the big
cities of the East. Even water and
shelter from the direct rays of the
sun give no relief to the suffering
multitudes of the East, while even
the limited shade of the Joshua tree
on the desert affords a pleasant
comfort at the most trying time of
the day. The terrors of Death
Valley, with it's toll of victims who
have died from thirst, are Jap
parently no greater than the dangers
that now stalk through the Eastern
cities and claim more victims in a
day than the sun-parched valley of
the black name has claimed in a
generation. A canteen of water
and the shelter of a sand dune or
Joshua are ample to preserve life
and save the despairing traveller
from the eternal sleep that other
wise might be his fate while cross
ing the great white waste. And
when night comes, it brings with it
grateful. refreshing GOODNESS
that gives new life and delightful
pleasure of existence. The people
of the desert have cause to be
thankful that they do not have to
live in the East, and extend their

THE MILKY WAY

The census of the starry sky is
concerned almost entirely with the
Milky way. The number Of stars
not connected with it is negligible.
But when you look at the Milky way
the idea of numbering stars seems
the dream of mailman. 1t stretches
all round the sky. Its extent is so
unthinkably immense that science
has never undertaken to measure il,
and the imagination could not grasp
the figures that such measurement,
if it was possible to make it, would
involve.
Yet that whole enormous expanse
of space occupied by the Milky way
is so crowded with stars that they
make upon the eye the impression
of a silvery scarf wound round the
brow of the universe.
Itrequires telescope to see them
as broad zone of glittering points
instead of an almost uniform band
of whiteness in the armament.
In some places they are more
thinly scattered, so that, as you gaze
through the glass, you almost think
that, with infinite patience, you
might count the number included in
space as large as the face of the
moon. -Exchange.

INDIAN BOY LOST AFOOT

An Indian boy named Snyder
Smith had the misfortune to lose
one of his feet this morning while
attempting to board train that
was pulling out of the Southern
Pacific yards at this place. The &C.
cident occurred about 8 O'Clock,
near the Haviland & Hoskins ware
house. The boy is pupil of the
Indian school at Carson City and
was on his way home to the Duck
Valley Indian reservation in the
nothern part of Elko county. AS
the train was passing he ran out
and grabbed one of the cps with
the intention of climbing on top of
the car, when he slipped and fell. the
wheels passing over his left foot,
crushing it horribly.
DR.. Mangan, was called and had
the injured boy removed to the
county hospital, where the doctor
amputated the remaining portion
of the foot al the ankle.
The unfortunate Indian boy is on
ly 16 years of age and his father,
Frank Smith, lives at the Duck VAL
ley reservation. He arrived here
yesterday and has been staying at
Howard Miller's camp and was
leating for home when he met with
the deplorable accident.-Hum-

$4,000 PRIMARY A PHANTOM

congressman in Washington, es-
pecially those who do not want to
pass publicity bill for campaign
receipts and expenditures, were
talking in dark corners about the
expenditure of $4,000 by ex-Rep-
resentative Joseph C. Sibley, hero of
the Archibald letter episode, who
has just defeated his successor Rep
resentative Wheeler, for the repub-
lican nomination for congress in
the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
district.
In as much as Mr.. Sibley' total
remuneration, counting all per-
Quisits to his office, if reelected
to congress, will be only about $18,-
500 in two years, it is difficult to
understand why he wants to 90 back
to Washington when his primary
nomination alone stands him a dead
loss of $22, 900 and he has yet to be
elected, wait more than year before
taking his seat and then live two
years after that.
One answer is contained in Mr..
Sibley's complaint about the criti-
cism leveled against his extrava-
gance. The gist of the argument is ::

JOS. ". SMITH MUST
STAY IN PRISON

Joseph Smith must spend another
year at least in the penitentiary.
Yesterday the board of pardons met
and discussed his case. The question
was presented by Attorney Hilton
of the Western Federation of Miners
and during the presentation quite
a heated debate took place between
himself and Justice Sweeney. 1t
appears that at the time the mat
ter was taken up before the Justice
had stated that at the time of the
trouble at Goldfield he was present
one evening in the Miners Union
hall and heard remarks made by
Smith VIII; Oh branded him as an
archist. That Smith was noisy and
turbulent and he, Sweeney, had
stated to him then that if he was
not careful the people would take
him out and hang him to lamp post.
This matter was remembered by
Hilton and yesterday he appeared
before the hoard with number of
affidavits wherein Smith was made
to appear as an angel of peace and
quietness. This angered Sweeney
who made the statement that he
considered Smith the worst of the
two meaning Smith and Preston.
He further claimed that both men
should have been hanged. That
the men were where they belonged
and if he had his way they would
stay there.
Hilton also produced an affidavit
signed by himself in which he
stated that former District At
torney Swallow of Esmeralda county
had informed him that Senator
Nixon had paid the sum of $4,000
each to the attorneys Douglas and
Malone of Goldfield for the work
they had done in the case as special
prosecuting attorneys. Itappeared
from the affidavit that Swallow had
not received portion of the money
and as consequence was sore.
The desired effect of this affidavit
fell flat for Sweeney was too hot in
the collar to take advantage of it
and would not fall to the political
bait as Hilton hoped he would. The
injecting of political knocks into
the affair only caused Sweeney
more anger and it is rumored that
hot words passed in the governors
private office when the board went
into executive session. At any rate
the result was far from what the
attorney for the union wanted and
the application for pardon was de-
MED. 1t is too bad that Smith was
not pardoned for it is the belief of
many that he is held for a crime
that it was an impossibility to COM
nit but the action of his attorney
yesterday in trying to throw odium
upon Senator Nixon was so raw
that even Sweeney who a is political
opponent of Nixon would refuse
to take advantage of it and as a
result Smith must stay in prison.
