". P. STRIKE NOT CALLED

Wednesdays Humboldt Star
says:
This is the day that was set for
the strike on the Western Pacific,
but up to the time 1.-THE Star"
went to press the strike has not
been declared. and so far as can be
learned there is nothing new re-
garding the situation.
or course every one hopes that
an agreement will be reached and
the strike averted but no confirma-
ton can be obtained that such will
be the case.
1t is certain that the men will
nJt-recede from their demand for
the same rate of wages that is paid
by the Southern Pacific and other
Western railroads. The chief
hope for asettle nent Of the differ
ence between the Western Pacific
ard its employees is that 1t will be
accomplished though the efforts Of
the United States Labor Commits
sioners.

N|MR9O EUR|E SENTENCED

Tuesday Judge Quicker sentenced
Nimrod Eurie. on of the INLAY
murderers to be hung and named
July l4th at the date of execution.
The Star says that as the final
words of the death sentence we're
pronounced, Uric sank down on
the bench and cried like a child
and had to he almost carried from
the courtroom to his cell.
When asked by Judge Ducker if
he had anything to say why judge
ment should not be pronounced,
Uric addressed the court az
follows:
II didn't have any chance. Let
me 60 to the penitentiary and
prove myself to be a man; that
do want to be q man Of respect
and truth and good character
don't want to have t" lay down my
life for another mans crine.
don't want to have to leave my
dear old parents to die in sorrow.
All that ask for is the chance.
Let me prove myself, that / do
want to be a man of good princi.
Piles and truth and good character. "
In reply to his plea, Judge
Quicker said "These matters have
all been passed upon by the jury,
Mr.. Eurie." The sentence OF
death was then pronounced as told
above.
Eurie should have thought OF
his aged parents and the conse.
quence Of his crime before he
committed it. He has been taken
to the penitentiary, where he will
remain until his execution il thu

v. P. DIFFERENCES
WILL Be ADJUSTED

For some time past employees Of
the Western Pacific. especially those
in the operating department have
been dissatisfied with the amount
OF pay they are receiving. De-
mands were made for an increase,
which was refused. Accordingly
the train men established head
quarters at the ArRonaut hotel
San Francisco. and proceeded to
take . poll on the question Of a
strike. When the vote was counted
Sunday it is stated that 80 per cent
Of the ballots favored the strike
unless the demands for an increase
in pay were acceded to.
A conference with the officials
Of the Western Pacific has been
arranged. at which the employees
OF the eastern division will he pre-
sented by the following committee:
J. P. Walsh. for the B. of L. E.
W. Gibson. for the o. R. C. George
Gingery for the b. Of R. T. and j.
o. Brown. for the B. Of L. F.
While the Wesern Pacific has not
been paying the wages of compel
ing lines this fact was no doubt
due to its being a new line and the
tremendous egxpense it has been
put to during the past year in
repairing damages to It's roadbed
due to snow and land slides. The
employees have been very patient,
evidencing a desire to help matters
out by waiting for a raise until
such time as the road was in shape
to handle business. With an
earnest desire on both sides for
adjustment. it is thought that the
difference will be amicably settled
at the conference this week.
However, in any event it is not
considered probable that q strike
will result 1t is believed that the
Interstate Commerce Commiss ion
has been asked by the road to
intervene. and it is stated that
Labor Commissioner O'Neill is now
on his way from Washington to
San Francisco for the purpose Of
making an investigation His re-
port will be made direct to the
commission, which will then adjust
the differences Silver State.

4 SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT

The largest audience that has
greeted an entertainment company
IN Elko for many a day gathered
at the Bradley Opera house last
night to hear and see the Dunbar
Company. 1t was an appreciative
audience, too. and the applause
tnat greeted every effort of the
company must have touched the
hearts Of all Of them. There was
not poor number on their pro-
CRANE.
The audience followed the actors
closely ana the peals of laughter
and the almost deafanng applause
showed that their efforts to please
met With a hearty response.
The bell rining. the singing, the
music. the comedy and in fact,
everything connected with the
entertainment proved the Dunbars
princely entertainers. Today
everyone who heard them is sound
ing their praise. Should they
come again they are sure of q
royal welcome. =
Messrs. Castle and McWhinney
deserves the thanks of everybody
for bringing this company to Elko.
They assumed all responsibility
and to them we are indebted for
asst nights enjoyment.

POPULAR PRICE CIRCUS

When we come to consider
features which have contributed to
he remarkable history Of great
amusement enterprises. We cannot
possibly overlook the Sells-Floto
circus and is management.
For years this remarkable insti-
tuition as had one of the most up
hill and drastic fights ever visited
upon any aggregation endeavoring
to gain a foothold. But last sea-
SON they commenced q campaign
which took for its text the doctrine
of popular prices. ard although
most of the old time circus people
voiced their opinion that they
could not possibly succeed, it is now
admitted that thew came home at
the close of the regular season with
more money in their treasury than
any other attraction in the same
line Of business.
People demand popular prices
today" said Mr.. Roddy, who was
here representing the proprietors
of the big show. I'VE are living
in an era when the average man or
woman can weigh the value of
what is offered to them almost as
we'll as those who are most intimate.
ly connecte with the business. and
it was simply a proposition with
our people to give them what they
wanted. We tried the experiment
and found that we were correct.
THE price of % cents for
general admission has come to stay
so far as the Sell .Floto circus is
concerned. do not know what
other shows intend doing. because
even yet there are very few
believers in our methods. 1t is
hard to convince the average man
in the show business that it is
possible to make any money at that
price when on has t. charge $500
on the debit side of the ledger for
each days performance.
Last year we were eminently
successful and we expect history
to repeat itself through the coming
season.
The Sells-Floto circus will reach
here on the Goth day of May and
again announces many novel features
such as have never been seen in
public before. Our parade / think
will convince the doubters as to the
quality of the entertainment we
have to offer. Our patrons can
rest assured that our performance
will be the best they have ever
seen Us give. ! think we have
always tried to keep faith with
our public. Our object is to grow
in the affections of the people and
the only way we can do that is by
endeavoring to give full values in
every way"
