er there was anything in it to raise

Question Asked.

BY Gov. Blease: Eyes, sir. | will
answer the governor of Wyoming, as
answered this question on the ros-
trum in South CaroIina-I wish to call
upon the newspaper men present not
to say that I am excited; in South
Carolina, thank God, l have a record
of not only being a fighter, but a
cold -blooded fghter-I answer you, sir,
by saying this; that whenever the con-
stitution of my State steps between
me and the defense of the virtue Of the
white women of@y State, l will resign
my commission, tear it up and throw
it to the breezes and march 20 the de-
fense of her honor and her virtue, re-
gardless of what may De jNo ccnse-
quences.

porters here to get this correctly:

ed upon an election next Tuesday and
they would leave it entirely to the
negro vote, disfranchising for the time
the white vote, could receive without
trouble IS to 80 per cent. of the negro
vote of the State to be their governor,
and Notwithstanding that l stand alone
in this conference and in other places
Of this great nation, not as governor of
South Carolina, but in my individual
capacity believing there is but one
punishment, and that must be speedy,
when that negro lays his hands upon
the person of white woman. Such
thing as happened few days ago
in a certain State, can't happen in
South Carolina; the boaSted hero Of
the black race who claims to be the
superior of the white man in the prize
ring could not disgrace South Caro-
lima by having himself united to a
white woman within its borders,
thank God, and if it did happen the
law provides a punishment for him
and a punishment for her, and the only
reason that the law would be called
in to protect them would be the loca-
ton of the place in the State in which
the crime might have been committed.
Otherwise lhere might be no need for
a grand jury to present a true bill Mr.
!! Chairman, OF that We are proud.

Very respectfully,
Cole. L. Blease.'

The views OF Governor 3laase on
marriage and divorce were brought out
forcibly in an address delivered be-
fore the governors conference on
Thursday afternoon. Governor Wn.
H Mann, of Virginia, had just finished
discussion of turning the trend of
population from the towns and cities
TO the country, and referred to the
great work being accomplished by the
Boys Corn clubs, giving statistics as
10 the corn yield accomplished by
these young farmers. Governor Blease
said:
Mr.. Chairman: | shall not under
take to discuss with the distinguished
governor of Virginia the question of
raising corn, because South Carolina
holds the worlds record and as to the
quality of his corn, would not for a
moment discuss that, because all
through prohibition South Carolina
We have examples Of the quality Of
his corn, shipped from the capital Of
his State by his wholesale dealers.
No Divorce DEGREES.
But, Mr.. President, the other ques-
ton in which South Carolina stands
alone, and in which, in my opinion,
she is superior to all the States of
the American union, written in the
fundamental laws of my State by a
constitutional convention, composed
of men Of both races, in 1868, and
even more emphatically in 1895 by the
white people of South Carolina, are
The words: No divorce from the bonds
of matrimony shall ever be granted.
It may be, sir, hardship in some
cases, and possibly 1 might refer to
cases where other States might think
it was right, still I say to this aud
ience this afternoon, and say it with
pleasure, that the only correct rule
followed both the Biblical injunction
and the injunction of man, is that
which South Carolina follows when
she says: Those whom God hath join
ed together, let no man put asunder.
# there be one thing in the American
union that is disgrace to American
civilization, it is the sale of American
womanhood for wealth; if there be an
other, it is the wholesale ard un-

No NAUGHTY DANCES
IN STATE MILITIA.

There will be no Raging no tur-
key trotting, no bunny hugging, no
Texas Tommmies, nothing of the sort
in the Nevada National guard.
Such is the substance of the latest
order issued by the head of Company
"A" of Reno. And any person who
violates the order may be shot at
SUNRISE" or if this penalty is not
convenient, he or she will be elected
from the hall where the dancing may
be taking place.
Col. Reeves. captain of Company
"A" issued order number 7, Monday.
1t is addressed to the corporals and
non-commissioned officers and fol
lows closely on the heels of a pre-
vious order fixing September 27th as
the date when the first social func-
ton of the National guard will be
held, to be followed each month by a
social or dance.

free of questionable dances is
evident from the tone of the order.
Should any person violate the order,
the corporals will be held to blame.
They are commanded to eject from
the armory any person found dane
ing the rag or any other dance of a
like nature with particular emphasis
on the Texas Tommy and the turkey
trot. If the person refuses to be
elected and the corporal is power
less to carry out the order then he
is to inform the sergeant and if the
sergeant is big enough, the order will
be enforced.

WARDEN COMING FACES
GREENSBORO DUTY.

George w. Cowing, warden of the
Nevada state penitentiary, must find
five men ready and willing to shoot
down a human being in cold blood
before next Friday, Aug. 23d. And
Warden Cowing is at his wits end to
meet this problem, the strangest
which any warden of the Nevada
penitentiary ever faced. On August
% Andliji Mirkovich is condemned
TO die. When asked by the Judge,
as required under the new statutes
oil this state which became effective
January l, whether he preferred to
have the death penalty inflicted by
hanging or shooting, Mirkovich re-
quested that he be shot. In accord
ance with this request the trial
judge deereed that he pay the pen
atty for the crime of murder, which
he had committed, by being shot to
death, fixing August % as the date.
1t is the first ease where a murderer
has been given his choice as to the
method of inflicting the death pen
atty in the state of Nevada. Hereto
fore the condemned man has mount
ed the gallows and forfeited his life
by hanging.
Now it devolves upon Warden
Cowing to find five men who are
willing to deliberately take the life
of a human being. 1t is a mighty
task. Almost every man who has
been approached has turned away
with a shudder. To deliberately
take aim at a defenseless man,
blindfolded, strapped to a chair, with
a target pinned over his heart, APP
pears to them like cold-blooded MUIR
der and they have refused.
Warden Cowing is what might be
termed up against it," He is in
duty bound to carry out the death
sentence imposed by the court, ever
though the task is most distasteful,
but the grave problem confronts him
as to where he is to find men to do 1t.
Warden Cowing is trusting that
Mirkovich's case will be taken into
court again on some legal question
and that it will become necessary to
sentence the condemned man again
and for a second time ask him his
preference. Cowing believes he can
convince the murderer to accept

TRAINS DE LUX ON THE S. Z.

]. NJ. Fulton, assistant freight and
passenger manager for the Southern
Pacific company, has returned to
Reno from San Francisco, where he
attended a six days meeting OF rail
road officials, which was held for the
purpose of reconciling the time card
now in effect.
The changes will appear some time
before October 1st when the equip
ment will be completed for the new
trains de luxe which will run between
Chicago and San Francisco.
1t will require nine complete trains
to operate the new addition to the
travelling palaces of the country
which will run daily between the two
cities. One of the trains will be In

These trains are being built of steel
and will be new in every particular

before introduced. They will not
turn a wheel, except for testing, until
they are put into this service. They
will be the finest trains ever operated
in the United States and will be

SQUAW AN EXPERT
TRAIN JUMPER.

About the two most surprised po-
licemen in Reno are Patrolmen
Holmes and Hazlett says the Gazette.
They had an unusual experience and
there isn't any record of the incident
at headquarters, either. 1t appears
that Holmes and Hazlett were
watching the suspicious actions of
a number of Indians just below the
Southern Pacific depot. Finally
they thought 1t time to take a hand
and started out to place under ar
rest a squaw who appeared to be
rather well stocked with liquor.
The squaw saw the two policemen
about the moment they started for
her and she picked up her heels and
ran. 1t wasn't anything unusual for
a female of this species to attempt
to run away, SO the officers ran after
her. She hit out for the railroad
track. AS it happened a freight
train was proceeding west and the
squaw ran directly for the train, the
officers close at her heels.
Suddenly, as she reached the nov
ing freight train, she gave a swing
for the cars. and, grasping a side
iron, pulled herself aboard the cars
like a veteran of the road. Up she
climbed like a spider until she
reached the top of the boxcar, when
she settled herself comfortably on
the edge with her feet swinging over
and looked back to see what her
pursuers intended to do. The two
patrolmen, with surprise stamped on
every feature of their -countenances
simply stood by and watched their
quarry vanish in the most approved
fashion. 1t was their first ex-
perience with a train jumping
squaw.

State
TERRELL ACQUITTED
OF MURDER CHARGE

The preliminary examination of
Judd Terrell, charged with the mur.
der of Louis Carara at the eamp of
Terrell in Churchill county last Nav
was held before Justice of the Peace
Jones in Fallon, and at the con-
clusion of the testimony, Justice Of
the Peace Jones stated that the
evidence did not show that Terrell
had committed the crimes charged
and ordered him released from GUS
tody. This will put an end to the
case unless the matter is inyestigat-
ed by the grand jury.
Mrs. Carara, the divorced wife OF
the deceased was the principal wit
ness against Terrell. Josephine Ter
rell daughter of Louis Carara will
inherit his property.
There were eight witnesses ex-
ahmed for the state and six for the
defense during the PRELIMINARY ex-
animation. George Flessa, who was
also shot by Terrell, but not badly
hurt, was the only y witness to the
shooting. Flessa testified that he
had a revolver but that he did not
use 1t as he did not have time.
Other testimony showed that his re-
%yolver was some distance from him
when he was found after the shoot
ing and that one chamber of the gun
vas empty.

GAMBLING DAYS RECALLED.

In the Northern saloon at Gold
field, where in the boom days it was
said that $4,000 frequently passed
over the table in a single night, four
men we're arrested Sunday night for
gambling.
Two members of the state police
passed through the big deserted hall,
where adventures from every corner
of the earth once strewed the tables
with gold, and found the four solitary
figures bumped over a table behind
a screen.
Two thousand dollars in checks lay
on the table, but no currency was ia
sight.

JUDGE FRENCH MAKES
IMPORTANT RULING.

In an opinion that will practically
dispose of the matters in dispute, be-
tween Sheriff c. p. Ferret and the
county commissioners of Washoe,
Judge French has announced that the
sheriff could not collect the amount
of s23,634.9S sued for as commits
sions on licenses collected in years
past, but that he might retain his
percentage of future collections and
was entitled to have his salary with
out deducting to Offset such COM
missions, says tht Reno Journal.
The opinion was called forth by
the demurrer of Washoe county
through District Attorney WOODBURY.,
setting up two objections to the sher-
IFS complaint. The first demurrer
maintained that the sheriff had no
right to present the claim because
he should have Withheld the money
claimed at the time, or at least, If
he paid it over, he should have put
in a bill for the amount to the coun-
ty commissioners with six months
of the time the amount was due.
This demurrer was upheld by Judge
French.
The second objection was that the
second amount demanded by Sheriff
Ferret, totaling some $419, was not
subject to the law granting a per-
centage to the sheriff and that the
salary withheld was kept back for
the purpose of protecting the county
in the collection of the amount.
This objection was overruled by the
judge.
The effect of the decision, If II Is
allowed to rest as a final settlement
of the controversy, will be to pre-
vent the sheriff from collecting $685.
634.9S, but to enable him to collect
$4,000, which has been held back
from his salary. Ii will further es-
tabish his right to collect and keep
the six per cent of all licenses in the
future in addition to his salary.

hanging as the method. He has talk
ed to the prisoner in regard to the
mater and is convinced that If the
question of death penalty is again
submitted Mirkovich will change his
mind. But the date of the execution
is drawing near and no change is
evident. Cowing, in the meantime,
must find five men who will deliber-
ately shoot Mirkovih. 1t appears at
this time as an almost hopeless task.

The River.

The river rose slowly through
most Of the day yesterday, though
the rise did not amount to a great
deal when stated in feet and inches
From up the stream the reports
were very vague and on that account
unsatisfactory. At Mission the river
was reported falling yesterday morn
ing. On the evening before. a fall Of
a foot or more was reported from Rio
.Grande City.
Passengers on the motor car yes-
tsrday morning from Mission say he
water was out in the resaca between
Donna and Mercedes. Between
Donna and the river several resacas
were flooded, and the current was
running strong in places.
No particular damage is reported
in the lower Valley from the Rio
Grande itself. though some of the
low ground is covered with water
from the rains. So far the high wa
ter has ben confined to the. old river
beds and TO very low places lying
close in TO the stream.
The extent Of the damage on the
Mexican side is not reported. though
the river has been out over there in
many places.
Altogether the outlook at mid
night, with the stream reported as
falling at several points above. was
not dis~couraging. At that hour 1T
was still considerably lower than the
highest mark Of last year.
