Honest Election.


Much of the grim humor one hears
among practical politicians has to do
with these incorruptibles who owe
their positions to corruption A case
in point is that of a member of the
supreme court of a western state, who
began his career by running for con
gress. The story was told to me by
ono of the workers who secured his
election.
"One day the candidate met me,
said my informant, to whom | had
been introduced by a practical poll

might to another, 'and asked me how
things were going in certain dis

these bound to go to Roosevelt.
Taft has announced that he will not withdraw

there is Taft organization. But since all this

Roosevelt is recognized as the first choice, partly be-

In the French Revolution a feuil

possessed considerable ability as a
writer, by heartily espousing the cause
of the Girondists in all that emanated
from his pen rendered himself obnox

ing came to the prison for its load OF
those that were that day to be butch
cred, Schlaberndorf' name was on the
list of the condemned. The jailer in
formed him that such was the case,
and the writer dressed himself for his
last ride very nonchalantly and-he
was extremely fastidious as to his per
sonal appearance-with great care.
His boots, however, he could not find

his jailer, he looked for them to nc

Schlaberndorf to remain, not unwil-

humor he was especially liked by all
the Jail attendants.
The following morning when the
cart drew up before the prison door
for its batch of victims Schlaberndorf
dressed In his best, including the boots
that had been found, stood waiting
the summons of the jailer to take his

EUREKA CAMP STILL
WATTS UPON RATES
Many Mines of Old District
Will Take on New Life
in Time.

J. r. Inglis. metaliurgtcal engineer. Is
In the city from Eureka. New. Mr.. Ing
lis has been engaged with the Wind
fall Eureka Mining company for some
time. He thinks that with development
this company will uncover good ore. He
states that the great drawback TO that
part OF Nevada Is tho exorbtant freight
rates There are a number OF good
properties near Eureka, such as the
Ruby I'M mines. owned by the United
states Smelter: the Farmers Mining
company. and several others, but they
are lying lido largely on account OF the
nigh freight rates for ore, supplies and
other materials.
He stated that at Mineral Hill the
company Is running 200-ton cyanide
mill and that several leasers are shipping
first-class ore 10 the smelters At Buck
thorn. George Wingfield is preparing to
put In large mill In the early spring,
and lively times are looked for In that
OF good ore there, and that when some OF
the mines get to working Il will have q
very stimulating effect upon that dis
trict. He states that Notwithstanding
the Ruby Hill mine has produced many
millions. there is still plenty OF good ore
there.
The washout OF three years ago was a
great. misfortune TO that part of Nevada.
and II Is Just recovering from the ef-
fects OF that calamity. 1t was Impossible
to get In supplies. and the mines had TO
smut down and remain so for about two
