MRS, MANTHEy
PASSES AWAY

To-day, shortly after the noon
hour, Mrs. Herman Manthey, who
has been at death S door, passed
away at her home surrounded by
her husband and other relatives.
While death was not unexpected,
vet it comes as a terrible blow to
the husband and other members
Of the family. A large circle Of
friends are deeply grieved to learn
of the death of this Carson lady.
Some months ago Mrs. Man
they submitted to an operation in
hopes that she might be cured Of
threatened ills. The surgeon s
knife only prolonged her time a
few months, and while she rallied
for a time she has never been her
self.
The deceased leaves a husband
and one son, a sister and brother
father and mother. all residents
Of this city. She was prominent
in lodge matters and active in
ihelr proceedings.
The deceased was aged 80
years, and while she was native
of Maine, yet the best part Of her
life had been spent in this city,
where she practically grew to
WomanhOod, was married and
made her home. The sympathy
Of the entire community goes out
to the bereaved people.
The funeral will be held Mon
day afternoon at O'clOck.

\. B. MAX0N
ON SITUATION

Colonel Maxon. who lately re-
turned from the Chicago eOnven-
tion and from Washington, where
he had n consultation with PreSi-
dent Taft, came over from Reno
this morning. The Colonel is an
enthusiastic republican of the old
line. He states that there is a lot
oOf noise and not much actiOOn In
the Roosevelt campaign. He
claims every state in the great
east for Taft and the south, while
Nevada is. undoubtedly for Taft.
1t is a pleasure to meet the Col
onel and get his ideas of the cam
paign as he almost cOnvinces a
democrat that Wilson is hardly TO
be mentioned in the fight.

LATE POLITICAL GOSSIP

Political rumOrs come in as the

administration supporter through

stood that Speaker FrOIich of the
last session of the Legislature. is
to be a candidate against him.
FrOlch is something OF a Pro
cressive as we'll as being identi-
fled in all respects with the party.
However, it looks like Roberts
for the nomination.
Then the Democrats have some
timber in sight. First there is
Clay Tallman. He sometime ago
announced that he was after the

WINDMILL
IRRIGATION
SUCCESSFUL
The Barker Mill Does
the Work

Bob Barker. who has been busy
erecting one Of the windmills at
the BrOugher farm north of this
city, leaves for Oakland tonight
where he will get busy manufac
turing additional mills for orler>
that have come in.
The test-out of this patent mill
has been made in Nevada. This
section was selected on account OF
the high and variable winds. it
was decided that if the mill would
stand in this section that they
would be put to work anywhere
and would be a success. The re
suits of the mill at the Brougher
farm exceeded expectations.
Now that the Barker mill is
known as a real wind engine in
quiries are coming for the ma
chimes. Two mills are now irri-
eating over forty acres OF land
and a big crop of both grain and
potatoes will result from the ap-
plication of this new mill OH the
Nevada plains. A mill is to be
set up north of Reno and another
near Los Angeles. while one is
being figured on for Las Vegas.
Once they are established there
will be tremendous demand for
them and it will decorate many
a piece of ground that can be re
claimed. AS it is a home con
cern that is putting this out the
people take unusual interest in its
success

That Ormsby County will be

From all appearances the main
fight of the new party in this state
will be at Reno between the
Reeves faction and the others as
named i'm the call for the conven-
ton. That Roosevelt will be on
the state ticket there is no doubt
and that he will drag IA heavy
vote from the old Republican
ranks is conceded by all who have
looked into the conditions.

The call for the meeting of the

ers for last evening resulted in a
good sized crowd being present

Gus one, yet there We're plenty
present to present their side OF

There appears to be a factiOnal
fight among the Progressives as
Colonel Reeves of Reno has Sc
lected a ticket and the other fac
tion wishes to send it's three on to

between the two factions and 1t

Since he first announced that he

not been blade Of grass grow

state and will tour it the second
time before the campaign gets
warm.
George Bartlett also believes
that he has a running chance at

and will go after the Democratic
voters for their support. George
has lot of friends who believe
that he is winner.
Along comes Attorney Herr Of
Reno. who has a clean record and
is regarded as a staunch Demu-

made vacant by Jim Sweeney's
term expiring. He will undoubt-

for other announcements.
The Republicans have been slow
in sending forth their timber. An
nouncements will be out in a short
time for the Supreme Bench and
a fight to the finish will be the re-
suit
The talk about the "Progres-
sives' being a dead issue is all
bOsh. Over one hundred sigma
lures were received in their Pc
tition in this city, which is one
eighth of the entire vote, and
there are many who sympathlz-
with Teddy who did not sign up.
The same condition exists
throughout the state. 1t is un-
derstood that they will put up a
state ticket as we'll as their Pres
idential Electors. which will give
the old dyed-in-the- wool Republi-
cans something to think of. The
fact that Colonel Mavson is dis
crediting the movement in Neva-
da has only added strength to the
fight, and the Progressives will
draw mainly from the old Re
publican party and also take
along a certain per cent of the
Democrats.
In the county fights affairs are
beginning to warm up and inside
of another week the papers will
be filled with candidates names
who are after the elective posi-
tions. There will be quite a num-
Der Of independent candidates.
This will follow as the independ-
ent only has to secure a certain
Of signatures, does not
have to fight primary election
and gets the same run as the reg
ular nominee without the extra
expense. There is every indica
