IOWA EX- -SHERIFFS HOLD
REUNION AT ELKADER

Three ex-sheriffs dropped into one
OF the local barber shops today. They
We're Messrs. Kahn, Benton and Ditt-
mer, who were sheriffs of Clayton
county for six, eight and seven years,
respectively. They served the county
for 23 yeors successively with the ex-
ception of one term during which time
Mr.. Cook was sheriff. The three gen
tlemen are hale and hearty and we
hope they will meet many more times.
They are the only ex-sheriffs of Clay
ton county who are living today, with
the exception of l.. II. Place, now re-
siding at Winnemueca, Nevada. We
hope Mr.. Place viii meet with them
the next time.-Elkader (Iowa) Argus.

AMBASSADOR WHITELAW
REID DIES IN ENGLAND

Whitelaw Reid American embassa-
dor TO the court of St. James, passed
away at his London residence Sunday
noon.
Mr.. Reid was one of the great edit
ors of the country, having conducted
the New York Tribune for many
years, and was a business man of
ability. Although he married the only
daughter Of d. O. Mills, the late Cali
fornia millionaire, he was man of in
dependent fortune at the time.
Mr.. Reid came into national promi-
nence in 1892, when he was nominal
ed for vice-president at the Mime
apolis convention, as Harrison IS run
ming mate. For many years the
Tribune had been conducted as non
union office, but before the nomina-
tion negotiations were concluded with
the Typographical union officials to
unionize the Tribune. However, it
was looked upon by the workingmen
of the country as a sort of death-b bed
repentance and they failed to rally to
the support of the ticket with the re-
suit that it was defeated. 1t is prob
able that this had more to do with
the election of Cleveland than any
other single factor in the campaign.

WIDOW OF ENGINEER COOL
SUES FOR 6O,O00

/ Sixty thousand dollars damages are
asked in a suit filed at Reno yester-
day against the Southern Pacific com
pany by Dixon & Miller for Edith p.
Cool, of Sparks, the l9-year-old widow
of Charles c. Cool, Southern Pacific
! fireman who was killed in a boiler ex-
plosion near Cosgrave October 3.
1t is said that this is probably the
first action for damages to be brought
in Nevada under the Federal employ
ers liability act, and it is further
stated that the act provides against
taking the action for damages out of
the state court into the Federal court.
Other damage actions have been
brought under the state employer 5
liability act.
Mrs. Cool was, on December z, ap-
pointed Administrative of the estate
of her husband, and sues for damages
as his sole heir.
AS provided in the statutes, the
company is charged with not furnish
ing safe place for its employe, Cool,
to work. Engine 1888, which explod-
ed, is alleged to have been defective
and it is alleged that too many cars
for it to haul were attached to its
train; also that there was defective
method OF heating the water for steam
and also that impure water was per-
mitted to be used in the boiler of the
engine.

WINCF|ELD NOT
OUT FOR SENATE

George Wingfeld returned the 9th.
81 day from an eastern trip, on which
ne was accompanied by Mrs. Wing
heid. During his absence the politi.
cal gossips had nominated him as q
candidate to contest the electi. Of
senator Newlands two years hence.
regarding this matter, Mr.. Wingfeld
had the following to say to Gazette
reporter:

Then there comes the rumor from

say in as few words as possible that #

their malicious rumors were to get in

CHINA SURPRISING
THE OPIUM HABIT

he establishment oss the Chinese
republic has led many Occidentals to
change their opinion as to the lethargy
and inertia which they supposed char
aeterlstlc OF the inhabitants of the
celestial empire. There is another
story OF accomplishment in China.
however, during the past five years.
Whlch makes 1T even clearer than the
recent revolution that there are I'M
dreamed OF springs of energy in the
Chinese people. About five years ago
the Chlnese government decided that
opium smoking, which had become the
national vice in China, even to a
greater extent than alcoholism is Of
the western nations, must stop, and
that within ten years. 1t is scarcely
TO be wondered at that when. this
government edict was issued it was
greeted with smiles everywhere; five
years have passed, and now the
world knows that success in the great
national crusade seems almost as
sured
The method that China is pursuing
Is interesting. Five years ago China
and Great Britain made what il
known as the the ten years agree
ment,' by which the British govern
ment undertook to reduce the amount
OF opium sold in Calcutta on govern
ment account for export to China by
lu per cent every year until the traf-
nc had ceased. On her part China
agreed to diminish her own produc-
ton IN corresponding way. Meas
ures We're to be taken to reduce the
growth of opium in China 10 per cent
each year until at the end of ten years
no more would be raised. With sup
plies from India cut off and the home
crop reduced, and eventually suppress
ed altogether, the opium habit must
necessarily disappear The results ac-
complished thus far are promising.
Travellers report that it is no longer
common to see men smoking opium at
their own doors. Even two years af-
ter the edict, those who smoked did so
in secret. The edict is being enforced.
The agricultural map of China shows
after five years that there has been an
actual reduction of 80 per cent in the
production of opium. There has been
as great reduction in its use. All
the world will watch with interest
this other awakening of China, and
the Oriental method of solving a great
social question. In the west we have
our social problems of like nature,
and China's example may prove il
Eliminating and helpful. of

WASTE TIN IS SHIPPED
TO GERMANY

The Blue Funnel liner Protesilaus
carried from Vancouver on October 10
200 tons of scrap tin, valued at about
$l1 per ton, to firm in Germany. A
similar shipment of scrap tin, twenty
two and a half tons, valued at $50 per
ton, was recently sent to California.
These shipments come from the odds
and ends from the manufacture of
salmon cans at a British Columbia
cannery, and are the residue of about
10000 boxes of American tin plate
The scrap tin is left over from cutting
out the tops and bottoms of cans and
the strip tin is from the squared of
the sheets from which the sides are
cut.
The scrau tin is used in Germany
principally in the manufacture of toys
and is used in California in the maunu-

Strange Guests at St. Bernard.
Avn enormous flock of swallows "

An enormous flock of swallows was
overtaken by heavy snowstorm near
the famous Hospice Of St Bernard in
the Alps last winter When the good
monks saw the birds, they opened the
doors and windows of their building
that the little feathered strangers
might have shelter
All the rooms were crowded with
them, thousands remaining until sun
rise. The next day proved fine and
the guests pursued their way toward
Italy This is very pleasant TO learn,
but it saddens one to know that vast
number OF less fortunate birds failed
to reach the Hospice and weye found
dead in the snow by the tenderhearted
brothers
