the Weekly f"r the condition of its
heading. We first noticed its
battered condition this forenoon
and can't account for it except rs
the work of drunken, incompetent
printers such as Theodore l.. STAN
ton and M. M. Thompson. There
ought to hr license to kill such
creatures.
The largest crowd that has been
in Elko for a great many years
was in Town yesterday and it was a
good natured, orderly crowd too.
There has been no scrapping or
fighting and but few VINO have
taken too much booze during the
celebration. This speaks well for
our guests and we hope they will
all come again.

Napoleon Almost an Enalishnnan.
IT was just chance that kept Ma
poleon from being born an English
subject. He was born OF italian par
ents, on Corsica, an island in the
Mediterranean. A few years before
Napoieon's birth the Corsicans asked
the English to rule over them. but the
Britons refused.

detain you long as you have just
listened to the reading of the
Dec ara,ion of Independence, which
is good doctrine and shows tina,
the trainers were living in an era
of reconstruction while we are
living in an age of construction. He
had the pleasl re a year ago of max
inga journey through the east with
several other governors. and every
where he went people were anxious
to learn Of Nevada. That the
state was one of the largest in the
Union, and that its mines and
agriculture products were attac-
ting the attention of the whole
country, yet the state had not yet
hardly been scratched" over and
that its future was one Of the
brightest of any state. That We
were cursed to great extent BY
too much politics, but that we
should remember that all states
and county officers are servants of
the people and that if thew are
good servants we should uphold
their hands and if they are not,
get rid of them as soon as possible.
He believed the largest majority
of them tried to do their duty at
best they knew how. He hoped
that all officers would so act that
no derogatory reports about us
would go to the outside world and
that every man, woman and child
would put their shoulders to the
wheel and boost for Nevada. He
referred to the death of Senator
Nixon and to his record, and said
that he had no doubt Senator
Massey would also make a good
record and be q credit to the State.
The choir then sang America"
and Rev. w. R. Howell pro-
nunced the benediction.
AFTERNOON
In the afternoon, fully 5000
people gathered at the ball ground
20 see the game between Win
nemUcca and Elko which resulted
in victory for Winnemucca by
the score Of 18 to 13. The game
started off as if it would be ':Hry
interesting, but errors and Poo>
playing by both sides made it
drag. When the game closed
Winnemucca mad I8 runs to her
credit while Elko had but 10.
Winnemucca plays Wendover this
afternoon.
After the ball game came the
roping and riding contest. A
write-up of this part of the ceIe-
bration will appear tomorrow.
About $3.50 the aviator started
his machine and when about
20 feet off the ground the engin
refused 10 spark and in trying to
land on the road il dropped as he
turned and broke one of the wings,
thus spelling his flight to the
great Disappointment of the large
crowd present. However, Mr..
Thompson promised to do his best
to make this feature of the cele.
bration a success
In the evening another accident
occurred while the committee was
arraning to set off the fireworks on
the hill east of town. One Of the
first pieces set off ingited the
evenings supply and for a time
there was plenty in that line
Barring these two accidents the
days program was a great success.
In the evening you h, beauty and
old age gathered at the Opera
house for the big dance. The EIko
Orchestra furnished the music
and Governor Oddie and Miss
Ethel A,herton, the handsome
Gouddess Of Liberty, led the grand
march. Dancing was up kept long

Trick Animals at the Spokane Fair

Anybody who has tried the treach-
erous roller skate can hardly believe
that a numbering bear could be
trained to glide about the floor on a
set of the little rollers. Not only will
the Spokane Interstate Fair offer a
roller skating bear as one Of its free
attractions but the visitors will be
treated to full one ring circus every
day and evening. Trick mules, horses
with high school education, dogs that
can ride a horse as well as man-all
will go to make life happier at the fair
grounds. Aside from the circus, pop
ular Jimmie" McLay of the Wyom-
ing University will have his trained
sheep dogs giving daily exhibitions Of
their ability. These alone will be
worth the price of admission to the
grounds.

MOonshiners Daughter at the Scenic

The library benefit given at the
Scenic Theater last Thursday evening
proved a hattering success. The lower
floor was crowded with an appreciative
audience. Mr.. and Mrs. Carlisle, and
Billy Devore, professionals, were as
sisted in the representation by Col.
Fox, Arthur Babst, Harry Maston,
Miss Edna Featherstone and Miss
Rose Georger, local aspirants for his

Codd, who is here on visit to her
brother, rendered a vocal solo which
was so we'll received that she had to
come back. Mrs. Codd has very
fine and we'll trained voice.
The library fund was enriched to
