Of zLea
9orso .o1. riot and
among the RsDublIcanS ana IrogE
Siyes - Eeeards the state ticket
must have been reminded OF the
poem ne used to read in the sehoolI
reader. headed The Spider and the
Fly one line which ran something
like this: win you walk into my
parIor? said the spider to the ny.
II IS related that the dy did finally
walk into the parlor, but We beg TO
SAY to the senator thar we are not
flies, and the hy season IS abouti
over, anyhow.
No DiReEence IN state-
There sno difference between
iProgressives and Republicans as re-
CARDS state matters. We are all IA
favor OF what has been done in TINS
state in the last sixteen years We
do not agree with Senator Chiffon
that It should be undone-on the
contrary, we believe in going ahead
on the same lines. Our only diner
ences are to national matters. AS to
that we have separate tickets as We
ought to nave. The course OF the
lProeressives in this state is abso-I
IuteIy logical and correct They de-
cine to help the Chlton-Watson ma
cline to help the chilton-Watson
machine to get control OF the state
government. They win be no party
to that sort of thing.
81 'Sni aware shat strenuous ef-
forts s1e being made to stir up
trouble among ,Progressives- I
have no doubt that considerable
money is being used for that pur-
Epuse:. ana especially as regards can
ididates for the legislature. Every
one knows that Senator Chiffon and
Senator watson and the Democratic
headers of that faction would trade
Eon heaven and earth for the feglsla-
| ture, just as they traded on their
candidate for vice president in 1904
for votes for constable. The canoi-
dates on the state ticket will heed
no warning from me, nevertheless
If they are wise men they will keep
their eyes open. Senator Watson is
not travelling over the state neither
is senator Chiffon, for the chief pur-
pose of elecGng the democratic state
ticket.
e-The news that reaches our head
quarters from all parts of the state
is OF the most cheering kind The
confidence of the people in Colonel
Roosevelt has not been shaken,
Among the votes he will get on No
vember are those OF a considerable
number of Democrats. And these
Democrats are not advertising this
on the house-tops: nevertheless it is
fact. Colonel Roosevelt stands
for what West Virginia is most in
terested fn-fair and reasonable
protection. He also stands for a
sensible, efficient and practical
method OF controlling and regu-
lating big business"

EXPENSIVE IALMNq


A telephone. booth has been In
stalled at the local Western Union
Office. The connections were COM
pleted, and everything made ready
to talk this morning.. Co nections
are made with the Paci fic Tele-
phone and Telegraph company and
one can talk from Winnemucca to
any city in California, Oregon or
Washington. No telephone con-
nections are .msda iS%ith indepeh
dent lines such as the Utah, Nevada
and Idaho or the iGolconda Tele-
phone and iPpasr i company. 4 An
idea of the charges nay he gained
from the fact thar it costs 81 .95
for the first minute and 95 cents
for each additional minute to talk
from Winnemucca to San Fancisco.
The charge from Winnemucca to
Reno is 95 : cents for the first
minute and 45 Flor each addi-

The First cIImbsra.

A Munich paper has been searching
the records OF history to discover vino
were the first mountain climbers. Il
gives the palm to Moses and his rs.
cent Of Mount Sinai, and rules out
Noah for his ascent of Mount Ararat
because he made It II, boat. There
Is sufficient evidence to show that the
ancients thought mountain climbing
sheer madness
No one In the time Of Horace or
Polybius wanted to go climbing for q
summer holiday. A Chinese emperor
In the seventh century was the first
to make climbing fashionable In the
east But the first true tourists IN
Europe seem to have been Dante, Pc.
trarch and Leonard. Then came the
Emperor Macmillan l., who used To,
hunt In the mountains near innsbruck.
and after him Conrad Won Gesner and
Josias Simler explored the Swiss
mountains. But climbing for pleas.
ure such as we know It today was
not thought of until quite recently

PREDECESSORS OF CAPT. Lux
Colonel saussier, General ZuriIndon
and Others Have Escaped FrOm
Prisons In Germany.

About q dozen presidents Tor the
escape Of Captain Lux from his Ger.
man prison can be found In the his.
tory Of the Franco-G German war, and
large proportion Of the heroes Of
them lived to become famous.
A notable case was that of General
then coloneD Saussier, ultimately
commander-in-chief Of the French
army, who was detained at Grandens,
In the extreme east Of PrussiS. It Is
said that he put his bolster to bed In,
stead of himself, hid In an obscure
corner Of the fortress until nightfaIl,
and then, having obtained q dis
guise by the help of his orderly, was
allowed to walk out Of the main
prison gate. !
He crossed the frontier to Poland
and returned to France by way Of
Austria and Italy.
General Zurlinden was another pris-
oner who got out Of his. prison at
Glogan In Silesia, on Christmas eve.
He made his way in disguise through
Berlin, Frankfort and Karlsruhe to
Basel, feast which was not dificult
for him, as, being an Alsatian, he
spoke German quite as well as his
jailers.
Thirdly, we may note the expert.
ences OF M. Paul Deroulede, who es-
capped from Breslau, and 1t Is piquant
to recall that that vehement anti
Semitic did not disdain to disguise
himself as Polish Jew He was very
nearly betrayed by a peasant whom
ne had bribed to guide him into Bo-
hemia; but he drew his knife with Q
ferocious gesture and the peasant
changed his mind, with the result
that M. Deroulede saw the final fights
OF the war as sub-lieutensnt of Tur-

WALKING TINE is CUT OFF
Abolition Of System Causes Consider
able Trouble IN the Adirondack
tn Re Jon.


The e Is trouble In the southern sec
ton vi Essex county because certain
road superintendent, new in ONCE.
have cut on walking time" That Is
something probably unknown in tho
city. but In the Adirondacks, a section
81 great distances, it is Of Importance
to men working on the new roads
being built by the state. Able bodied
men live at such distances from each
other and from their work that when
q gang finally is got together some of
the men are certain to have walked
miles from home. If married, as they
usually are In the mountains, they
have the same walk back at night
This became known as walking time;
that is, the man was on the job the
momentjhe took up his dinner pail and
started to walk to his work. even
though 1t took him an. hour or an hou
and half to get there He also
quit that much earlier than others in
the evening, but was "at work" and
paid for 1t when walking, home. Tho
new superintendent have decided the
state cannot afford to pay men for
walking, and have cut off that time
The result Is great discomfort and
trouble in getting sufficient men for
work on the redistribution Tran.

DEATH RATE OF THE SENATE

The death rate among the men,
hers Of the United States senate
during the last twelve years has
been very large. The Washington
correspondent for the Baltimore
Sun says, The passing away of
Senator Rayner runs the death list
up to .thirty-four in that period.
which shows that more than one
third Of the. total membership Of
the upper branch Of congress has
passed away. These figures do rot
include the members who died
after retiring from the senate but
only those who snccumbed while in
harness. The present membership
of the senate is nincty.six. The
death roll includes some of the
strongest characters and most pro-
minent statesmen of the present
generation. Senator Rayner's
death was the fifth counting Vice
President Sherman among the
members of the upper chamber in
the last eight months and during
the present session Of congress.
Senator Robert L. Taylor, of
Tennessee died last Stirring after a
term OF. four years; SenaR George
s. Nixon Of Nevada, who was
elected in 1905. was stricken down
last summer and only a month
ago Senator William B. Hepburn
Of Idaho, who had served since
1908, passed away sfter a: few
months Illness. The fatality among
Maryland senators has also sheen
striking. Senate Rayher is the
third Marylander to die in harness
during the last FIVE years. Senator
Arthur Pue German and Senator
William Pincknsy White both of
whom had served in the upper
chamber. with him yielded to the
fearful strain and 3arduots labors
which are now apart Of the life of

ROYALTY AND CHRISTMAS

Insthe German royal household
each member has HIS or her own
individual Christmas tree. The
gift of the empress. to Ter imperial
spouse is usually some souvenir
from famous battle. Through
out the year she, has her agents
securing the earth for rare
trophies and spares no expense in
procuring the one that strikes her
fancy This is placed at the foot of
the emperor's tree In this way and
by other means he has gathered a
fine museum Of war relics One
Christmas the present he received
was a pistol used by General
Jackson at the battle of New
Orleans.
The empress also makes presents
to INDECENT cIergymen. The package
to each Of these consist of an Outz
fit of clothing. Christmas card an
a cake baked by her own hands.
The kaiser's gift to his wife
is usually fine jewel or some
article made by his own hands.
In, England, the, celebration of
Christmas Iapsed after the time OF
Cromwell and the Puritaps who
regarded it as too much of pagan
festival. Its revival came about
through the writings Of Charles
Dickens and the royal observance
of the day by the prince consort
and Queen Victoria. After
Prince Albert's death the queen
modified her observance of the
day for a few years.

TIE TREATMENT Of OLD AGE

"Haslthe Did man right to live?"
was question discussed at are
cent meeting of the st. Louis
Society for medical research.
And the general opinion was if a
son does not willingly support an
aged and needy father. the law
should compel him to do so.
There are in the news every few
days stories of court action
brought in by helpless old people
urging that their prosperous child
rem be required to give them a
livelihood.
A speaker at the st. Louis meet
ing told how certain savage tribes
cause their hid men and women to
climb trees. When they are settled
in the branches the younger mem.
bers shake the, trees, If the elders
are able to cling, they are allowed
to remain on this earth little
longer but If they drop they are
put to death at once.y
1t is true that many a man who
cares for his aged parents would
like to shake the trees if it were
not for the opinion Of others. That
is NOT to his credit, even though it
benefits what should be tbs:objects
of his most tender solicirude, says
the New York American.
Let Us begin demanding respect
for old from the very yorng.
When we hear boys referring to
their fathers as the ''old man." we
cannot expect much evidence of
filial affection from them later IN.
Old age ought to be made
beautiful. It ought to be made
so by the young with constant
vision before them that they too, ne
day will need affection and respect.
