IT SURE IS
TO LAUGH

The recent publication by the
Deeth Commonwealth OF a ticket pur-
porting to show that the Stand-pat
Republicans and the Progressives OF
this state had held love feast at
Reno and had succeeded in getting
together and agreed upon the ticket
mentioned was without doubt sur
prise to both factions all over The
state.
Carson City seems to have been
most ignobly ignored, as she was ov-
crlooked entirely when the invitations
were issued to the little party.
Expressions heard to-day from
both camps indicate that the feeling
existing is even more bitter than ev-
er-the breach has been greatly wild
ened. The Stand-patters have moth
ing in their vocabulary but Desert
ers" for the Bull Moosers. and "a
lot OF dead ones" is all one hears
OF the old guard. There you are. t
Is most evident that the differences
have in no wise been patched up and
that two complete tickets will be IN
the eld next year.
Ii is suggested o nthe street to-day
that Brother Gray was guilty OF al
lowing an error in makeup to creep
into his ticket when he allowed the
name OF our fellow townsman. Sam
Platt to appear under the heading OF
Justice OF the Supreme Court. instead
OF one line higher up. United States
Senator.

WASHERS
ARE FOUND
IN MINT
RUMOR CIRCULATED THAT A
HEAVY SHORTAGE IS DIS
COVEDER IN S. F. MINT

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 26.-A
circumstantial report published here
late to-day OF the discovery OF extern
sive thefts in the United States Mint
brought neither confirmation nor de-
nial from the mint officials
Superintendent I. w. H. Shana-
han, who succeeded the late Frank
Leach in that position. said in re-
sponse to all inquiries that any state
ment concerning the report must
come from Washington.
According to the rumor, which is
said to have had its origin in the gos-
sip of mint employees, account OF the
coin stored in the mint, which has
been in progress for some weeks, has
revealed systematic. pilfering from
the sacks. In most instances the
thefts amounted to no more than two
or three dollars from any one sack,
but there were persistent reports to-
day that bag of iron washers had
been found in the vaults, having been
substituted for $4,000 gold
Thirty government agents have
been at work on the count of the
coin, which was ordered preparatory
t. change III the office OF the sub
treasudy in this city. Some days will
be required TO complete the count
Superintendent Shanahan. was ask
ed tonight whether he had submitted
an official report to the Treasury
Department.
81 cannot say whether there is or
is not anything to the report, was
his reply.
According to the reumor, suspicion
has been directed TO one or more erR-
ployes' OF the mint.

LAST DAY
STATE FAIR
TO-DAY
FAIR CLOSES THIS EVENING
WITH HONOR OF VERY
SUCCESSFUL MEET

The 1913 Nevada State Fair closes
this evening after a most successful
week and the exhibits and races turn
cd out to be even better than hal
been anticipated and the attendance
throughout the week was larger than
had been figured on.
The majority Of the counties of the
state had creditable exhibits of vari-
ous kinds and in the Judging yester-
day the announcement was made of
the victory Of Clark County in the
competition Of county exhibits. In
this competition Lyon County was a
close second, but Clark had the adj
vantage in more complete showing
of fruits and was given the silver cup.
The victory OF the southern county
is all the more meritorious from the
fact that it takes four days TO ship
goods from there over the interven-
ing mileage OF some 500 miles.
Right here is long story told IN
a few words. Clark County the far
thest away from the fair, steps IN
and takes the silver cup, while Orms-
by, the nearest county. within almost
a stones throw OF the fair grounds
did not even have one exhibit so far
as has been noted.

SWEENEY
SHIPPING

Tuesday three teams arrived at
Minden loaded with ore from the
Winters mine and marks the begin
ming of regular shipments to be
made from this property by the new
owners
The ore is being shipped to the
reduction works for treatment and
the new company expects to gain
GOOD profit from every carload OF
silver-lead ore shipped, although the
cost of transportation is quite heavy.
It is understood that the COM
pany contemplates the erection of
a plant at the mine for the reduction
Of ores and in this event the heavy
cost of transportation will be elimi
mated.
The sight of ore teams passing
through town from the Pine Nut
district gives forth encouragement
that this county is nearer than ever
before to joining the mineral pro-
ducing counties of Nevada.-Courier.

DENTAL

What is known as dentist rObberies
time to time the past few years and
last year one of the local dental Off
ces was entered and robbed of valu-
ables. Recently several dental Off
ces in Reno have suffered consider
able loss and thus far the robbers
have not been apprehended.
The officials OF this city, so it Is
stated. have reason to believe that
the parties, or some of them, respon-
sible, are now here and probably
biding their time for an opportune
moment to make haul. The otfi-
cials are keeping close lookout.

A large percentage of these made
their declaration before the enact

Many times in my life have seen
the souls of men, and women. too, put
to hard and bitter tests.
Once saw a motorman whose car
had crushed lovely. child. Around
him pressed bowling. angry mob,
led by the baby's father. who would
have had his life. With bold daring,
he stood on his platform as on a
throne, with his controller bar for hts
only weapon, and defied them all.
Yet, even as he stood there outwardly
so bold. / saw in his eyes a misery as
great as man could bear and live.
For days and months doubt not that
his nightly dreams brought him con-
slant horror pictures of the child he
had killed.
Once, too, / had to be the bearer
/ of the news when q worknan's mis-
step on a frame of steel sent him
plunging down eighteen stories to
death. In the foul tenement where I
told my news saw a tired. gaunt
woman walk the floor and scream and
moan, three frightened little children
clinging to her skirts.
Often, too, in my practice In the
courts, / have seen men in dreadful
misery-a rufflan bold and defiant de-
spite the blood-guilt on his soul, face
