The village marshal Of Dunklrk was
speaking, and his voice startled every
person in the crowded theater. Every
body turned to listen, and the manager
Of a repertory company playing at

talking.

the marshal, bursting forth again in
torrents of pent-up wrath. II have
heard OF this white slave trafficking,

going to permit It to be carried out
here in Dunkirk. II is wrong to give

marshal
The manager OF the show had been
making an announcement about the
giving away OF a white baby to the
person holding the lucky ticket The
marshal ordered the show manager to
accompany him.
The manager realized the humor Of
the situation, and refused to go unless
a warrant was produced. While the

first of this week by which over quarter OF mil

OF the heaviest losers by the fire that pioneer
man of the camp, w. w. Booth, whose
fine printing and bookbinding plant was almost

affair is that there was only about $4,000 of nsur
ance all the property destroyed. Booth, with his
customary enterprise did not let the fire proven;

will soon have new plant the ground and be
doing business at the old stand. Most OF those who
lost property are well-to-do and will at once rebuild
and continue business This is because Tonopah is
today one OF the most prosperous mining camps IN
the State.

OBLITERATES PARTIES.

The law regarding elections goes long va,
toward obteratng party lines. For instance if
q candidate desires to announce himself Tor
tain Office and to run at the primaries he IS taxed
SIS which must be deposited with the County
Clerk; then there comes along another candidate
Tor the same office and of the same political faith
and he secures a petition and has it filed with the
County Clerk independent candidate, who
does not at the primaries, and he is only taxed
$40 for the filing. In these days OF loose party lines
matter what the party candidate may belong
he is going to pay SIS more for his nomination
certificate than does the independent 1t was not so
in times gone by 1t worth something then to
receive the nomination from party and be assured
OF that portys support in the campaign Today 1t Is
a free-or-al scramble and the devil take the hind
most and the law is so made that it places party
man at disadvantage by making him spend more
money than his opponent OF no party. Nevada was
once one of the strongest Republican States but
since the organization of the Silver Party a number
OF wears ago she has been about haf-and-half, that
organization dominated by Democrats, having slid
through MANY a measure that was detrimental to
republicanism. There is nobody to blame for this
but Republicans They have not been on guard, and
there have been acts committed by the party lead
ers which have alienated many OF the rank and file
Such an act was done only this year when the lea

of any Republican being elected However, ii thai

will be the winner in Nevada, if not he will run

was an honor to be a Republican and it meant some
thing in Nevada but the party has been so dis

ends that the PEOPLE are beginning to lose conf
