Thirty eight years ago yesterday
on a Saturday afternoon we passed
through Elko. houni for Virginia
City. We remember of eating
dinner at the old Depot Hotel about

have been a citizen of Nevada.

OUR PRISON POPULATION

The biennial report of the Neva-
da State Peniten iary has just been
issued by Warden George Cowing
and il contains a great deal of in.
formation of unusual interest. We
quote from the report a. follows:
"The population of the Nevada
State Prison has fluctuated con.
siderably during the past term;
ranging from IS9 prisoners on Jan
uary |, 1911. down to 1876, on Oct
ODER 2, 1912 Taking into cor.
sideration the fact that ID prison.
ers were discharged by pardon and
~ by parole. or sc 10 all: as COM
pared with the years l909.l9lC
wherein 6 were pHrdoned and 81
paroled or 43 in oil: making an ex-
ress Of 43 for this term. This,
added to the l55 of hand would
make 1913 prisoners on hand slight
increase for the term. 1t would
therefore appear that under urdi
nary circumstances there would
have been no decrease.

Murphy has been the manager OF a
street car conductor, bar tender. a
saloon keeper, ward politician, a
contractor a public official, and is

A majority of the so members of
the New York Assembly did not want

Murphy dragged them to Albany and

never before has any boss in one of

His friends don't deny that he is a

 The Dartmouth football team closed its season in New York Saturday with the game against the Carlisle Indians, in which the Dartmouth team was beaten by a score of 35 to 10. Coach Frank w. Cavanaugn returned to his home in this city Monday afternoon, carrying in his pocket a pleasant re- hinder of the love and esteem in which he is held by all members of the squad.
 Before the squad left it's hotel for the Polo grounds Saturday afternoon MT. Cavanague was handed a gold lined, silver cigar case, suitably in scribed. The gift was a surprise to the coach. He thanked the donors and ex- pressed his appreciation of the game ness and ability of the team, which, starting out under a tremendous hand leap, lack. of numbers and lack of weight accomplished wonders on the gridiron.

PHIL CROSS CLEANS
 UP FRANKIE MADDEN

Frank Madden, a Queensberry war horse of the Bowery, tried to demon strate at the Atlantic Garden A. G., New York, last night that he could fight just as well as when he was a popular idol Phil Cross, a. pugiIistic infant, who was in sWaddIins clothes when Madden vas in his prime, prov ed that youth will be served by beat ing the veteran thoroughly and artisti- cally. kz
 Not only did Cross belabor the old chap from gong to gong for ten rounds, but he dropped him in the sixth, and had Madden in sorry plight at the close of the contest. Madden fought with all the desperate valor that marked his work in the days when he was in the heyday of his youth and strength, and while his fighting spirit was more than willing, yet his muscles were unequal to the strain. The veteran was arm and leg weary early in the fray, and while he made occasional efforts to beat down his young opponent, they were In the main ineffective.

YOst Voices Displeasure When He Learns RaynSfOrd Is

Ann Arbor, Iich., Nov. 19-''I would rather have lost the Pennsy1- vania game than have Raynsford elected captain of. the football team,' '' was the statement Coach Yost of the Michigan eleven made when he was informed of the surprising selection the team made in its leader for next year.
 Yost was so greatly disappointed over the election of Raynsford that he left here yesterday for his home in Nashville without waiting for the big football smoker that is to be held next Tuesday night in celebration of the great season the Wolverines have en- Joyed.
 The coach would give no reason for his dislike of the choice, but it is un- derstood that he favored the election of Tommy Hughitt, the star quarter, who was looked upon by the whole university as a sure choice. Rayns- ford was sub until the Penn game.

Harvard Rowing Plan Makes Work Pleasant

A lot of fun was got out of rowing this fall at Harvard. Unlike what was done at Yale, the work at liar yard was not so hard as to be dis agreeable The men were not obIg- ed to adhere to strict training so long as they fept in good condition. They were not obliged to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, breakfast off orange juice and row three miles be- fore most sensible people are up.
 Three university crews were main taIned for a full four weeks practice. ed crew work with much success. Hitherto in the old dormitory system good and bad oarsmen were put in the same boat, with the result that the poor oarsmen remained poor and the good oarsmen deteriorated- This fall the graded crews were kept on the water for a month, in which time the candidates were gradually sifted and several shells made up according to the ability shown by the men. Even tualIy two good crews were develop ed out of the mass of material and all of the boats showed up better than any under the old system.
 The best of the crews were rae ed against one another, and in this way a good deal of new material was de- veloped, and the coaches were able to watch the work of the best men. LAS a result, there will be a large number of new men who will report in the spring, many of whom have shown considerable promise in the fall work

TENER LIKELY TO TAKE
 JOB AS NATIONAL HEAD

Harrisburg. Pa, Nov. 1s-whila Governor John K. Tener, of Pennsyl- Vania, has given no public tntfmat1on as to what he intends to do, it Is be- lieved by those who know him best that he will accept the presidency of the National Baseball League which Wa4R offered him here, today by a majority of the club presidents of that organization. Every club in the league with the exception of St. Louis, whose president was unable to attend was represented in the meeting at which the offer was made.
 Before the club presidents met the governor it was said the only ques- tions to be settled were the salary and term of office. It was said the presi- dents had decided to ask the governor to accept the place for a term of either three or five years at a salary of $25,OO0 and that he take office at the expiration of the term of Presi- dent Thomas J. Lynch, which will be this winter.
