Progress of Aviation.
From the PhiIadelphia Record.

We have made some progress in aerial
navigation, but not nearly SO much as
we are apt to imagine in enthusiastic
moments. The aeroplanes have killed
forty-seven persons in two years and
eight months, and of the dirigible bal
looms, six of Count Zeppelin's invention
and several of Maj. Parsevars have been
wrecked. The dirigible balloons have too
vast bulk. and the aeroplanes have
not enough buoyancy.

They were good and they were young.
The good die young. and he died. She
did not bury him: she had him Gre
mated and his ashes placed in IN urn
In the course of time young fellows
came counting her and tried to per-
suade her that they ought to pay for
her board. but she said her heart was
with the ashes in the urn. and they
withered away into thin air But there
was one desperate and persistent fell
low who hung around after all the 9th

him To get rid of him-a sort of de-

him without knowing anything about

A Heartbre aker.

At dinner last winter one of New
York's prominent bankers was dilat
ing on the dangers of deceit. By way
of illustration he told of Il society wo-
man who saw in a jewelers. window Il
beautiful collar of pearls. which she
wanted very much. Upon inquiry she
learned the price was $4,000. There
upon she gave her check for $1,000
saying she would send her husband to
see the pearls. and If he could be per-
suaded TO buy them he was TO be told
the price was only $1,000.
The jeweler. being familiar with that
sort of game readily agreed. The hus.
band called during the day to see the
pearls and that evening told his wife
he had bought them. since they were
evidently such Il bargain. His wife
was more than delighted and immedi-
ately asked if he had brought home the
collar. To which he replied:
'Why, no, my dear; | had it sent TO
my mother. You know il is her birth
day tomorrow"

SEN. REYMERS EXPLAINS
Tells the Carson City News
Man all About it.

1t is believed that one of the
happie;t men in the state at the
present time is Barney Reymers,
and this over the fact that he was
able to engineer the measure
through the Senate which gave to
Yerington the county seat of Lyon
county. Speaking about the mat
ter yesterday he said II never
had a doubt but that the matter
would carry and feel now that it
is the proper thing and will al.
ways think so. A little criticism
was shown toward me Yesterday
by those who were fighting to
retain the county seat at Dayton,
but fully believe that if they would
look at the matter in the proper
light that they will change their
mind. 1t was slated that two
years ago | said that | would not
stand to move the county seat, and
they were correct in that. AT that
time Lyon county had court
house in Dayton and all vas going
along as well as possible and it
would not have been right to
make the change, but since that
time things have changed. Fire
destroyed the building and it is
now necessary to build another to
take its place. At this last cleo
ton the matter was made one of
the features and the men elected
to represent the county in the
assembly were elected, pledged to
the moving of the county seat to
Yerington. As the matter had
been made political one and the
people by their votes had proven
that they wanted the county seat
moved to Yerington, it was my
duty to obey their wishes and
have done so. Had the court
house not have been burned down
| would have been the last man
in the world to advocate the
change, but as it has to be rebuilt.
| cannot see why it should not be
erected where the majority of the
neople wished it."-Carson City

"A long argument ensued. Toole say
ing that in purchasing a stamp he had
a perfect right in law to choose the
one he fancicd. and so emphatic was
he on the point that he had his way,
but not before he had created dis
turbance and clerks from other coun-
tiers had left their work to see what
was going on"

(From the Carson Appeal. J

The locating of the big Panama
Exposition at San Francisco means
great deal of prosperity for Ne
vada. In the first place the
Southern Pacific agreed to double
track its railway from Ogden to
San Francisco if the exposition
was located at San Francisco.
This work will begin very soon
and it is very likely that the
Western Pacific will follow suit
1t will be necessary to do this
to accommodate the tremendous
tide of freight and passenger traf-
fic that will head that way. The
selection of San Francisco for the
site means also that the credit OF
that city will Immediately become
almost unlimited.
While it is popular impression
that San Francisco has recovered
from The effects of the big fire. it
really has not, ard San Francisco
business men have had hard
struggle to keep their heads above
water. Now, as if by magic, every
thing is changed, and the location
of the big show has materially
strengthened the credit of San
Francisco everywhere.
While the thousands of men
that will be put to work on the
Southern Pacific will mean a great
deal to the state. there are many
other things to consider. Nevada
will have to supply the gypsum
and cement to build the exposition
buildings and the gypsum mines
located near the Mound House
will reap immediate benefit. The
