IN the main branches of undergraduate activities, and
must rest content in the large class of those who "also
sarye DO not mean that ability should not demand
and receive adniraton respect, and recognition, but
that rbc tributes should not be carried to the extent
of accepting everything as right because someone OF

tax payers anu public spirited citi-
zens to make themselves heard. and
ask you to please give me few lines
in your paper to express my views
on this school question. | am Il
patron OF the public schools and ]
am therefore directly interested.
am delighted with our new High
School this year. and | only want the
plans of it's principal brought to
completion. | agree with the voter
who published a letter last week in
your paper in which he stated we
must have four-year High School,
Offering the courses that any High
School of a city of this size offers.
We citizens must support our pro-
gressive and active School Board In
carrying out this much needed im-
provement.
No longer should any Of our citi-
zens have to go to the. expense OF
sending their children to Washington
to get a High School education. and
if the District should close the doors
Of it's schools to outsiders. we must
be ready to accommodate the chill
dren of all our citizens. and give
them a training which will enable
them to either further carry on their
education. or to enter the business
world as we'll equipped as the chill
dren who graduate from the High
School Of any city in the State.
sincerely hope the council viii
Immediately appropriate money to
erect building not only large enough
to met the present needs of our
schools, but the needs for some years
to come.
Yours truly.

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS.

Theodore Roosevelt has spoken at
last. In letter to governors of Ger
tain states he announces that he is III
q receptive mood and will take tho
nomination for president if rendered
him by the Chicago convention. This
announcement is in direct opposition
to uttcranccs which he has made dur
ing the past three years, as will be
seen by his assertions published else
where in the Gazette.
The former president docs not seem
To pay attention to the shade Of UlyS-
Sos S. Grant, who made himself ridi-
culouS Ivy allowing Roscoe Conklin to
nlacc his name before the Republican
convention in 1880 The appearance
of Roosevelt in the arena is good
omen for the Democratic party, and
should that organization present a
solid front this year, victory is aSsur-
cd from any point we may view pres
cnt political conditions. That the
Republican party is split is we'll
known to all who arc watching the
signs of the times, and should Roose-
volt secure the nomination the Demo-
cratic party will doubtless sail to VIC
tory in the triangular fight. On the
other hand if the former president
arrives at the political graveyard, APP
athy is sure to be manifest among
those who have cmbihlcd progressive
sentiments. So in either event tho
vista for Democracy is especially
bright. Greater men than Roosevelt
have gore. to the wall in biting off
more than they can chew. The un-
written law of this country as enuncl-
ated by George Washington, while
not OIL the statute books. is Embedded
in The hearts Of all true Americans

BAD NEWS FROM FORT WAYNE.
Two expresses just from Fort

Fort Wayne to Chicago, with one

Indians, inordcr to escort the garrl-
son in. That the day after the arri-
val there, great number of Indians
being present, council was held at
which all the public goods were dis
tributed. In the evening of the same

and it is not believed the time has
come when any man will be allowed to
set it aside for the qualification of his
ambition.
Roosevelt has probably received
more honors at the hands of the peo-
pie of the United States at less cost
than any other man who had appeared
in our history. Some prominent Rep
ublicans were averse to him when his
name was suggested as the running
mate Of the late William Mckinley.
In many instances history shows the
disastrous consequences of men rum
ming once too often. This is occasionly
seen in local as will as national affairs.
But Roosevelt has crossed the RubI-
con; let US wait and see where ne is
to land.

First Train Robbery In Nevada
Occurred During Year Of 1870
As Related BY James H. Knead Two Weeks Before His Death

Two weeks before the death of
James II. Kinkead. who died in
Reno about two months ago. he
completed his account of the first
train robbery in Nevada. The train
robbery was also the first in the
world and occurred in 1870. Mr..
Kinkead took prominent part in
the arrest of the robbers and later
secured the evidence that resulted
i'm the convictions of the bandits
The narrative was completed
about two weeks before the death
OF Mr. Kinkead in Reno and be
turned his manuscript over to
Uncle" Dan Wheeler the promi-
nent Reno stock man. The editor
of the Bonanza happened to be in
Reno at that time and secured the
story from Mr. Wheeler. Several
days later Mr.. Kinkead died. and
with his passing went the last per-
son who assisted in the trailing of
the bandits Mr. Kinkead's story,
as written by himself is as fol-
lows:
The big train robbery in New
Mexico lately recalls the fact that
Nevada enjoys the unenviable dis
tinction of having been the scene
of the first train robbery that ever
occurred in the world.
On the morning of November / !,
1870. news was flashed through
out the civilized world that the
Overland Express train that had
left San Francisco. the previous
morning. carrying gold to the
miners at Virginia City, had been
'held up" and robbed near Verdi,
station about 10 miles west of
Reno. and that over 100000 had
been taken from the Wells-Fargo
strong box by masked men heavily
armed. This being the first train
robbery in the world, ii almost took
the public breath away, and for
while caused great excitement
and much newspaper comment on
two continents.
Every enemy of law and order
was vociferous in the praise of the
holiness and nerve of the prepetra-
tors Of the robbery. and Nevada
acquired the dubious credit of be-
ing the first in the union that
,ould produce a set of outlaws dar-
ing enough to stop and rob an
express train.
| Immediately large rewards were
| offered by the authorities OF
Washoe county, by the state Of Ne
vada. by the then Central Pacific
Railroad company, and by the Wells
Fargo Express company, for the
apprehension of the robbers, these
rewards aggregating 100000.
The holdup occurred in this man
ner:
Just as the train pulled out OF
the Verdi station it was boarded by
five masked men. Two OF them
climbed into the cab of the engine
