Love Affairs of An Office Boy

Id like to an island in the
And have place there and be king,
With forty slaves SC O bring
Me everything I'd want, her and me
Would be the only white folks there M
would be the queen a thing
To do but make glad, and birds sing
AS sweety as they could from
We'd have a hammock fixed up in the shade,
And slaves would her daysw hot.
And we would never have afraid
Wed lose Jobs and a thought
About the trouble other people
Or have to work when would rather not.
If 1 could be king
"a make the slaves hunt pearls along shore
TIL shed have bushels of them--mebby
And j would keep her dressed in silk
And we'd forget the old human
And all the troubles that had before
I'd make her love SO be sore
Unless my cheek was pressed against
But gee, there's thnkin thoughts like that!
She thinks I'm nothing but a kid s'pose,
And every time pass where al
tremble from head o my toes
I'd like to give her cheek little
And wipe the streak that's onh her nose

one persons were kille,
 in the disaster
 A pathetic case was that of William R. Laird of Buffalo, whose entire fam fly, consisting of his wife, 5-year-old daughter and 2-yearold son, were killed His father also was killed. Laird, who is employed in a Buffalo printing establishment, left that city, knowing only that his father, George Laird, had been killed.
 He had received no information of the fate of the others and visited the local morgues searching for the miss ing ones At the first place visited he found his little boy and girl, laid out side by side. At the seconc morgue he found the body of his wife beside that of his father.
 The family had taken advantage of the holiday excursion rates for re- union in Buffalo. It was George Laird's first railroad trip in 60 years.
 An investigation of the accident was begun by the State Railway Commis- sion The formal inquiry probably will be held at Buffalo. The Lacka- wanna Railroad will holds its formal investigation at Scranton.

NELLIE GRANT" WEDS'
FIRST MARRIAGE RESULTS UNI
 HAPPILY.
Shy and Home-loving, She Met Army Officer and He Broke Her Heart
 Gen. Grant Grieved

CobouTg, Ont, July 6.-Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, whose marriage to Capt. Algernon Frederick Sartoris, a young English spendthrift, in the east room of the White House May 21, 1874, brought his life's keenest sorrow to her father, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, then president of the United States. was married Thursday to Frank H. Jones, a Chicago banker, former as sistant postmaster-general of the United States, at her summer home here. The ceremony was performed by Canon Sprague but, owing to the recent death of her brother, Major General Frederick Dent Grant, only members of the family and close friends were present.
 Mrs. Sartoris had been a widow 19 years. She returned to this country from England within a few months following her first husbands death, in 1893. and her second marriage is the result of long courtship by MT Jones, whom she met in Washington during the period of his official ser vice, this being in the days of Presi- dent Clevcland's second administra- tion. Her wedding day also was her tifty-seventh birthday. All Americans will hope that this is an suspicious augury of happiness for Nellie Grant," once the idol of the people of this country, and now gray-hared lady of quiet and somewhat wistful demeanor, because her first marriage through no fault of hers, was most unhappy.

Jefferson City, Mo, July 6.-Gov. Hadley, on his return after a week S absence, when asked as to his atti- tude in the present political situation. said
 = ''I have nothing to add to or to take from what I said following the Chi cago convention. I have no intention of taking any part in the formation of a third party, as 1 believe can render more useful public service by con tinuing as a member of the Repub- lican party. 1 am unwilling to con cede that the Republican party has ceased to be a useful agency of good government.
 Whether there will be third party organized in this state, do not know. I know, however, there is no occasion for any such organization, as the Re- publican party in this state is thor oughly progressive organization, and will so continue.
 '1 understand the supporters of Col. Roosevelt will place an electoral tick ct on the ballot in the interest of his candidacy. as this can be done on pe- titio1 of thousand voters.
 "While l expect to take no part in the preparation of such ballot, it will be subject for future consideration of those interested in the success of the Republican party in this state and the principles for which it stands, as to whether the names of the Repub- lican, state and local candidates can not be placed upon this ballot, as we'll as upon the regular Republican ticket"

BIG DAMAGE SUIT
STARTED IN FALLON

A suit of unusual note was filed in
the district court at Fallon, Wednes-
day. in which p. R. Sheaff seeks
damages in the sum of $4,000 from
the Pacific Power company for in
juries sustained from an electrical
shock at Fairyiew on the 18th of last
July
Immediately after the accident
Sheaff was brought to Fallon by auto
and has since been stopping at the
Grand hotel under the care of DR.. G.
M. Gardner.
Mr.. Sheaff was asked to give the
Eagle a statement of the accident
and this is his story: He was work
ing around a lightning arrester for
the company at Fairview and it is
his belief that the current formed
an arc from the metal parts of the
lightning %arrester to his body, strik-
ing his back. shoulders, face and
fingers, the current passing into the
ground through his feet. He was
unconscious for an hour and a half
TO two hours. Finally, when he came
to, he crawled into the building and
from the window called for help.
The bottom of the right foot was
burned away to the depth of an inch
and the tissue was destroyed for three
inches up the ankle with the excep-
ton of the back of the heel Strange
to say, the flesh has grown back on
the bottom of the foot, but there is
no feeling in it except that there is
intense pain when he bears his
weight on the foot.
The top of the left foot was burn
ed clear to the bone. and the amputa-
ton of two toes became necessary,
but he can bear his weight on the
heel of the left foot.-Churchill
Eagle.

CANINE IN RENO HAS
CLAIM FOR DISTINCTION

Nearly every one in Reno knows
Tory Davis.
But few know of his history and
claim for distinction.
Tory" is the little chunky. half
hued Malamute dog. the special pet
of Mrs. Charles Davis. wife of the
manager of the Majestic and Wig
wan theaters of Reno.
No wonder TORY" is a proud little
fellow, for he is the full brother OF

dog of the team of thirteen dogs. be-
longing to Mrs. Catherine E. Darling,
of Berkeley. California, which last
week won the famous all-Alaska
sweepstakes dog race. over the Az
miles of snow trail, out of Nome, in
81 hours and 80 minutes, against five
notable teams of Siberian wolf
hounds, securing the prize Of $4,000
in gold and the championship.
So Reno has a peculiar interest In
this great contest which has just at
tracted the attention of the world and
particularly SO now as 1t is the sec
ond time "'Tory's" family had led
tie winners in these great Alaskan
race driven by the famous trapper
and miner, A. A. "Seotty' Allen.
Charles Davis of Reno, when in
the United States naval service as an
officer on the u. S. cruiser Marble
head. stationed in Alaskan waters,
six years ago, secured Tory" this
little Malamute dog from the Esqui-
max at the time that Mrs. Darling OF
Berkeley, who has also spent con-
siderable time in the north, came into
possession of Tory's full brother.
which was destined to acquire world
wide fame, and not a 'houn'. to be
kicked aroun'."
Davis became much attached to
his little pet and brought the dog
home with him, later presenting Ii

TAKEN TO SAN QUENTIN

Gypsy Adams, the woman who vio-
lated her parole from San Quentin
and was arrested at Carson several
days ago by Sheriff Regan. passed
through Reno Tuesday evening in
charge of a matron from San Quen-
tin prison, who was returning the
woman to the California penitentiary.
Gypsy Adams had served ten years
OF a Twenty-Five year entence for
murder when she was paroled. Dur
ing the brief time she was in Reno
while changing from the V. & T.
railroad to the Southern Pacific, she
stated she had never been SO happy
in years as when she was placed In
custody of the prison matron.

PHILADELPHIA MEN
BUY kEANE WONDER

Keane Wonder was the sensation
ON the streets of Goldfeld Tuesday
owing to the sudden advance in the
the market quotations of the stock.
Last Saturday the best bids were
around sixteen cents and today peo-
ple have been refusing to sell at 30
cents. The advance is aseribed to
the fact that wealthy Philadelphia
men had acquired control of the COM
pany, having purchased the hold
ings of Thomas B. Hickey, former
president of the State Bank & Trust
company. through the wrecking OF
which Goldfeld people lost many
thousands of dollars. Hickey is
said to have kept the Keane Wonder
stock for himself out of the wreck
of the bank.
1t is reported upon good authority
that Homer Wilson, n of the early
promoters of the property and for
several years it's manager was in on
the deal and will remain in charge
OF the mine. Only about 10000
shares of the stock are now on the
market, according to report. 1t is
said that the men now in control will
proceed to operate the property on
a larger scale than in the past and
that the capacity of the mill will be
increased shortly.
Reports from the management of
the Keane Wonder have been mea-
ger for a long time past but it is
said that the production at present
is at the rate of about 100000
monthly and that bullion is produced
at a comparatively small expense.
The mine was closed down for several
weeks by reason of the breaking of
the two-mile cable that operates the
aerial tramway used to transport the
ore from the mine TO the mill. The
cable has been replaced by a new
one and the mine and mill are again
in full operation. The ore is said
to average around $22 per ton and
carries free gold. The property is
situated on the border of Death
Valley, just over the California

GIRLS WILL NOT TAKE
PART IN FIELD MEET

Owing 10 the principals OF the va
rious state high schools refusing 10
sanction the entering of a girls team
into the academic field meet TO be
held In Reno next month, the sub
iect has dropped and this years event
will witness only boys competing TOT
the various prizes. The proposition
of allowing the girls to compete OF
ignated at Goldfeld where several
co-eds athletically inclined eyineed a
desire to participate In the academic
meet, providing girls teams were
entered from the other state high
schools. The Goldfeld principal cor
responded with the board Of control
of the academic league and the mat
ter was in turn placed before the
other high school principals who
unanimously protested against such
action.
The academic league. which was
put to a large expense for the last
field meet, is again in a prosperous
condition and all the outstanding ac-
counts have been settled. Arrange
ments are now being perfected for
the field meet, which takes place on
May II, at the Mackay athletic field
and 1t is expected that the list of en-
trants will be the largest during the
history of the organization. Practi-
eally every high school In the state
will send a team as will ~Susanville,
California. The S%usanville team won
the handsome cup at last years meet
