ELECTRIC BLOCKS
s.: :. GUARANTEE OF SAFETY

The safety given passengers and
property by a railroad that is
equipped with the electric block
signal system is not always ap.
preciated. 1t is little known that
in case of broken rail the danger
signals are at once set in both
directions a distance Of two miles
away. That in case of washout if
the Connection is broken the same
signals are given.
Collisions. rear or head end, are
practically impossible. Reno
citizens are fortunate in having
the Southern Pacific road, which is
one of the few lines in the United
States that is fully equipped with a
perfect scientific system of signals.
Floods or storms seem to cause this
company but little trouble; they
certainly are able to give the
people reliable winter and sum-
mer service. which means much TO
any productive country for when
one needs to travel or ship freight,
that is ready for market it is at
times a calamity to not be able to
do so.-Reno Gazette.

THE PASSING OF
TWO HIGH SOULS

Arch bishop Ryan and Bishop
Whitaker were close friends in
life, they were called almost
together, the Archbishop living but
a day after the Bishop had died.
They we're examples to men all
their lives, their going almost in
hand should be lesson to men.
They were of different creeds, but
they recognized that each had the
same hopes, the same divine
master, and that He would Judge
them and their work by the motives
behind that work which they were
performing. Who doubts about
their souls taking the same path?
Maybe the Bishop waited for his
friend. seeing in the clearer light
beyond the folding doors of death
that he would swiftly follow.
From childhood, they had lived
blamtless lives. Each by deserved
promotion grew more resolute, at
the same time grew more gentle
and more compassi onate to the
weaknesses of their fellow men and
the serenity that folded them around
at last was symbol of everlasting
peace that was soon to be theirs.
There are two forms of death
that are filed with splendor: One
is that of the faithful soldier that
for is country gives up his life
under battles canopy; the other:
that of a faithful priest who
through love for God and love for
his fellow men, devotes all the
energies of his life to drawing
man nearer to his God. Con-
tenplating such close of life, the
things which most men grasp at
seem small and mean by comparison
Describing the last days of his
bish.p p, Victor Hugo pictures hin.
as tending to the flowers in his
garden and says: He had his
few flowers on earth and all the
stars above him.
OF course all men could not be
bishops or archbishops even if they
aimed to be. for the worlds work
must be carried on. but
all men might, in little
way, initiate the lives of
these prelates; they could do all
the good in their power; they
could, by such work. draw to them
selves the peace and serenity which
even the approach of death could
not disturb.
The last great theme of the
world is how to do away with
wars. The most effective means
will be TO disarm the warning
spirit in the souls of men.
When the final shadows were
closing around Archbishop Ryan,
he rail- ed his voice in an invocation
for blessings upon his adopted
country, for what it had done and
was doing for mankind. He
doubtless had for years been com
pairing it with all other lands,
realized what it's place is in the
world, and what it must continue
to be for the world if it can be
held on its steady, upward, exalted
way, which revealed the passionate
love of liberty in the souls of the
dying man. That should be q new
incetive for all Americans to work
to exalt their country for upon il
the hopes of the world are more
conferred than upon any other land.
Its example has already crushed a
thousand Of the worlds tyrannies,
and its work is i'll in its infancy,
If only the people can be led up TO
be worthy Of such country. The
deaths Of those two pr1Iates ought
to an inspiration to Americans not
only to live better as citizens but
impress them with the truth that
their country needs their best

From the published reports of

The case of the state at Frank
Anderson, charged with perjury
for swearing falsely in the case of
the State against Dave Wilson,
coma up befor Judge Klatte this
f5B5on for preliminary examina-
ton. In order to get a copy of
his evidence in the Wilson case to
introduce in evidence, a con-
tinuance was taken to 1870 this
afternoon. At that hour, the case
was again continued until 8 o'clock,
the copy Of the evidence not being
ready.
A propositin is before the legis-
lature to give the school children
free text books. As the law now
provides free text books for indi-
gent children, we can see no good
reasonfor taxing the people to buy
text books for all the children in

it is.
Assemblyman Salter of Carson
wants to give the state officers an
increase in salary to compensate

ception of the superintendent of

addition to their present salaries.
The superintendent of public
instruction is given an increase of
a $1,000. The bill should be showed
under so badly that its author
would be ashamed of himself for
introducing it. .
