cRoW0lNG TO SEE TENNYsoN
Congregation Would Not Leave West

Of the Great Poet.

Sir James Knowles accompanied Al.

the scene when the crowd identified
the distinguished visitor. There was
an immense congregation that day In
the abbey and when the service was
over We stood up waiting long time
to pass out through the rails. But In.
stead Of dispensing by the outer door
tile people all turned eastward and
locked toward the altar, pressing
closer and closer up to the sacrarium.
The chances of getting out became
less and less, and turned to Tenny:
Boil and said: I don't know what all
this means, but we seem so hemmed
tD hat It is useless to move yet
Then a man standing by me Wills
pei'ed' I don't think they will go, sir,

OF course I saw at once what was
haHpening-it had got to be known
that Tennyson was present and the
solid throng was bent on seeing him.
Such n popularity had never occurred
to ME or to him., and justified his
nervous unwillingness to be seen in
crowded places.
~ was obliged to tell him what was
going on, upon which he urgently in
sisted on being let out some quiet way

SILVER GOING UP

Silver Wednesday touched the
highest mark since October 9,
1907. This days quotation as re.
ceived from New York is 64a cents,
while the quotation of 1907 as
mentioned was 645, or a difference
of three-quartes of a cent. The
price of the while commodity Tues
day was 63s. and over night an ad-
vance of one-fourth of cent was
to be noticed.
According to eastern information
it is believed the price will con-
tinue to advance to a figure con-
siderably higher than the present
quotation. The higest price paid
for silver in recent years was 71a
on November II, 1906, according
to figures obtained from the
Tonopah Mining company. At the
present rate of increase, and bar
ring Interruptions and a subsequent
decline the former record will he
eclipsed before the expiratin of the
present year.-Bunanza

The democrats or Elko county
must choose between a genuine re.
publican and bogus democrat for
county clerk. The one sails under
his true colors and the other
masquerades as a democrat, but
employs republican deputy and
gives all the patronage Of his office
to the only republican paper in
the county. A vote for Fred c..
Weight is a vote to reward party
treachery.
From the way the republican
papers report Senator Massey's
meetings, he is getting all the
votes wherever he talks. Senator
Massey's publicity men seems to
think that everyone who speaks to
the senator and treats him
courteously well vote for him in
November. He doesn't seem to
realize that man may treat the
senator courteously and at the same
time intend to vote against him.
The white man Is mighty
"onsartin" on election day and
Senator Massey will realize it when
the returns Of the election are all
in.

SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Childish Mind, Cropping In Darkness,
ls Craving for Information That
Is Denied II.

Every trace Of useful information
Is carefully concealed from the very
young child. A rattle, or at most a
rubber doll, is it's only plaything. AS
1t grows older 1t is very slowly and
gradually introduced to the various
forms OF the animal kingdom. OF the
mysteries Of numbers and Of lam
guages 1t has as yet no conception.
Its constant questions are for the
most part answered "humorously''
and hence incorrectly. or they are not
answered at all. This eternal "hu.
NOR" Is most CALLING Of all. Why
should human infant be such an ir
resistible joke? The lower animals
take their young seriously and train
them from the start with a very def
mite purpose in view. Yet their pos
sibilities are infinitesimal as com
pared with those OF the average baby.
And we sit calmly by and enjoy the
"humor" Of childhood and insist that
the child is enjoying itself also. even
though its little soul may be thirsting
for information which ia laughingly
denied 1t. And We continue to put
off the inevitable day when the child
will have to take life seriously and
hence, according to our tradition,
sadly.
One important point which Is quite
overlooked by the upholders of the
brainless child IL the fact that non.
sense and Stiffness are just as taxing
to the infant mind as useful informa.
ton would be. It requires no more
mental effort to realize that A Ia A
than to grasp the extraordinary fact
that a mass Of brownish softness is
a fuzzy title Teddy bear, yes It is"
In fact, the letter A has distinct ad.
vantage. And at a more advanced
age It is certainly less puzzling to be
told that five and FIVE make ten than
to have ones own respectable pink
toes described as series of pigs go
ing to market or entering into the va.
rious other activities Of life.-Sig'

There are at least $50 people in

There are two stamp mills in
operation, the Rex mill and the
Esmeralda mill, each treating from
80 to 90 tons of ore per day. The
Rex mill saving 81 per cent of the
values in their ore which runs from

the Blue outposts and drove them
back
The first real engagement of the
day vas at $40 o'clock. A strong
Blue fire came from the ridge north
oftEwa where the defenders were la
position. Then the Reds brought in
10 action a field gun platoon to cover
the advance OF the cavalry, but ow-
ing TO a misundsr standing, ,the whole
squadron OF horses went across the
open road when it was not covered
by the field gun, and the umpires sent
the cavalry back to point where the
gun platoon could cover it.
In the meantime, the advance guard
had come up and deployed on high
ground to the left of the road and
covered the advance OF the cavalry
so that the cavalrymen could go &C
ross the open field.
Here came the first sensational
charge and the first big capture OF
the war" G troop, under Capt. Dun
can Elliott charged and took the Blue
cavalry. by surprise, capturing all the
led horses of K troop Of the Blues.
The Reds also captured a veterinarian
DIR. Haynes, and about ten men. One
prisoner tried to escape, and it hap
pened to be right where an umpire
could see it. He told the man to beat
it" and away went the prisoner with
a cavalryman in hot pursuit down the
road. The prisoner was finally woun-
ded and captured.
Following the charge of the caval-
ry, the Red horse advanced with all
the Red forces. to a point whereWater-
town road branches off, and then the
cavalry was sent out to develop the
enemy's position on both flanks.
Two troops, under Capt. Elliott and
Lieut.. Baird, did fine work on the
right flank, surprising a troop OF the
other cavalry and opening hard fire
on them. Lieut.. Groninger with the
machine gun platoon was also much
in evidence in the good work of the
accommodating forces.
After developing the attack and the
enemy's position the Red cavalry was
ordered to fall back to act as re-
serve. aazs II
The Reds were under heavy fire
from the Blue artillery, located on the
shoulder Of Puukah hill, but in good
time a Red battery was brought UP
and hard artillery duel was the re-
suit. H.--: FL
At this hour, shortly after ten
O'Clock, all the Red infantry is at
