PATRoN1zE HOME MERCHANTS,

In the GOldfeld Tribune of yesterday appears
an editorial dealing with the patronage of home
merchants in favor of the mail order man. So
good is its article that we take pleasure in re
producing it herewith.
Saturdays Tribune was sound evidence of
the upto-date and open methods of Goldfeld
merchants. They there with the bargains
and offer prices that have never before been
offered in this quater of the state It is even
said by many of the old mail order buyers who
have become converted to the patronage of their
home merchants that in many respects the flo
ures quoted in the Tribune could not be dupii
Gated anywhere on the coast
The Tribune certainly did look good to the
man from the outside as the language of the
advertisements informed him that the money
was here and that the business men were right
In the ring fighting for the retention of orders
at home instead of allowing them to get away
IN the mails to return by the express route
which is always said to be so accommodating
to the supply houses who pay no license or con-
tribute nothing to the cost of maintaining Gold
field. In spite OF the fact that the merchants
pay the best wages in contrast with the begcarly
pttances accorded employees of eastern houses
the local men find means to economic in other
directions without causing their help to share
Their losses. This is the right spirit that should
be encouraged by everyone who has dollar to
spend. Let the dimes and dollars be spent at
nome and you will ultimately receive the full
bentt OF the investment for, like bread cast on
the waters, it will return in whole bakeries.
This is the opening of the spring season
and this is the time to unite and proclaim
your belief and conviction that the Goldfeld
business man will do the best in his power
to accommodate you and to hold your trade in
the town that furnishes support for both Of
you.
This is the time then for all good house
wives and citizens who are in need of anv of
the mutlfarous articles mentioned specifically in
Saturdays Tribune to patronize the home store
and thus find out for himself or herself that
these bargains are bargains of the best type.

THE BERTILLON SYSTEM.

With the installation of the Bertillon an6
fnger-prnt systems in the local sheriffs office,
Tonopah is as well equipped almost any city
in the country for the handling of convicted
felOns and suspicious characters. While the out
hit that has recently been installed here may
not be quite as large or elaborate as that of
the larger cities penitentiaries nevertheless
it is equally as thorough in the essential de-

FORMER SPIRIT
and nerve IS
FAST FADING
DIR. WICHMANN MOROSE AND
FEAR is EXPRESSED FOR
HIS RETAINING REASON.

Deprived of his liberty, barred
from the enjoyment of the company
of the circle of good fellows"
whose memory failed when he was
shut out from the light; weary of
vain hope based on slender tech
nicalities, listless, anaemic, nerv-
GUS wreck, DR.. F. H. Wichmann,
convicted of the killing of Mrs. EN-
ma G. Ross, is now under close
espionage by the prison guards at
Carson lest he gradually go insane.
The bravado is gone. The air of
invincibility is seen no more. The
assumed optimism is cast off like a
threadbare garment. Wichmann is
face to face with the realization of
what the punishment of the law for
manslaughter is.
| When Wichmann was first put in
prison for manslaughter his physi-
T cal condition was below normal. A
life of dissipation had left it's mark
on him, which was only temporarily
effaced by the eXpedients his med
ical knowledge suggested. When he
was forced to abandon the hectic
care that kept him the cratic man
that he was, he suffered first ply
steal and then mental collapse. He
is now under care of the prison
physicians who refuse to resort to
the same makeshift drafts on his
vitality and nervous force which the
physician had previously prescribed
for himself.
Wichmann' nerve" is gone. The
unresponsive prison walls have Sc
cured and sequestered his capra
nircus. In other words gaol has
got his goat-and no birds sing
longer.
1t is not at all improbable that
in the logical progress of Wich-
mann's condition he will not only
become a complete physical wreck
but mentally so. While violence
may be anticipated, it is thought
his condition will manifest itself
more by a growing apathy, stagna-
ton and ultimate death.

POSTAL BANK RECORD.

Mining camps are admitted to lead every
other character of community in their patronage
OF the postal savings bank, and Tonopah has
camps. The first days business of the new
institution in Tonopah showed deposits to the
amount of $1l95 made by twenty-three deposit
ors, an average of fraction over $51 95. These
figures should prove a revelation to Postmaster
General Hitchcock, when we hesitate to consider
that a few hundred dollars is the usual first
days business" in newly opened postal savings
banks.
This outpouring of funds into the Golfers of
Uncle Sam speaks volumes for Tonopah, for not
only is the record made for the grand total
OF deposits, but also for the average of amounts
deposited. The usual average is considerably
below the 500 mark, while Tonopah shows the
startling figure of $51.95. This goes to show
that there is considerable thrift in this town
and that there are a number of people here who
desire to place their money in Uncle Sans
pocket.

THE DENTISTS TROUBLE.

After considerable of furore, the trouble
between the Tonopah dentists has finally sub
sided. And, while it cannot hardly be desio-
mated as a love FEAST there is every ndic9-
ton that things will run smoothly from this on.
The action of the district attorney and of At
torney Keller in moving that the cases all be
dismissed was undoubtedly based upon the fact
that the district attorney was well aware of
the TACT that the law which it was proposed
TO enforce was unconstitutional That the law
was absolute class legislation and in direct vio-
latlon OF the constitution of the United States.
AIS well that ends well,' but, it should be a
lesson to the next legislature and it should act
accordingly and abrogate all such damphool
laws.

The Nebraska legislature recently took step
IN the right direction when it passed bill to
prohibit the hauling of Indifferent voters to the
polls ON election day This practice is expensive
to both the party and the candidate and is an
indirect form OF bribery that should be stopped
IN every state. Ii it were ended, neither side
would have an undue advantage and measures
and men would have to stand on their merits
and less on the ability, to get out the largest
percentage of neglectful or unconvinced voters

SIX UMAT|LLA COUNTY POLITICIANS ARE
NAMED AS CONGRESSIONAL POSSIBILITIES 1ii5

Among the bevy of candidates for
the office of representative from the
new Oregon congressional district are
six well known Umatilla county poll
ticians, according to a story in the
Sunday Journal. These six, four of
whom are residents of Pendleton, are
from both parties, two being Demo-
Gratis and four Republicans and all
have been more or less identified with
the recent political history of the
county.
The Republicans credited with the
congressional aspirations are State
Senators j. n. Burgess and C. A. Bar
rett, ex-Congressman w. r. Ellis and
Attorney S. Fred Wilson, who was de-
feated at the primaries last year by
c. A. Barrett for the nomination for
Joint senator from Uumatilla and
Union counties. The democrats men,
toned as entries in the race are former
State Senator c. J. Smith and Will
NJ. Peterson, chairman of the county
democratic central committee. The
latter is the only one of the six who
has publicly avowed his intentions al
though II has been pretty generally
known for some time that Judge Ell

YOUTHFUL MURDERER
WEEPS IN COURT

New York. Aug. 21.-On the verge
OF a nervous collapse, which has been
brought on by fear of being sent to
the electric chair, Paul Geidle, the
eighteen year old bell boy who muir
dered millionaire William Jackson in
room at the Iroquois hotel few
weeks ago, was today placed on trial
His attorneys offered to enter a plea
of guilty to second degree murder,
but the district attorney refused to
agree to this.
1t is understood that bitter fight is
to be made in the defense of the boy
and that a defense fund of $50, 900
has been donated by a wealthy manu-
facturer of Hartford, Conn, who was
inspired to see that the boy was ably
defended, through sympathy for the
heartbroken mother of the youthful
murder. The boy wept continually
while the proceedings were under
way.
