STATE TREASURER
VISITS TONOPAH
ON BUSINESS TRIP
BILL MCMILLAN INQUIRIES ABOUT

DATED 1873.

William Mcmillan, state treasurer,
came in this morning from Fallon,
where he has been attending the
state fair and getting acquainted
with the voters of Churchill county,

cluded it was time to continue on to

friendships with the citizens of the
southern country
Mr. Mcmillan is one of the best
known old timers in Nevada, having
gone to Virginia City "A years ago to
engage in mercantile business. He
remained there for 30 years and re-
moved to Reno in 1900, where he
served five years as inspector of
United States land Offices He re-
signed from this position to open a
bank at Sparks. which kept him en-
gagged in banking until his election
to the office of state treasurer four
years ago.
The popularity of the candidate is
attested by the fact that he was
elected governor of Nevada in 1895
and then counted out by a Demo
cratic supreme court The election
was held during the Spanish-Americar
war and the Democratic governor

PARIS, Sept 19.-The left wing of
the allies armies is making progress
and the army of the German crown
prince is retreating, according to an
official statement at 3 O'Clock this
afternoon. The statement follows:
"on our left wing on the right bank
Of the Oise, in the direction of Noyon,
we made progress. We hold all the
heights on the right bank of the
Aisne, in the face of the enemy,
which seems to have reinforced them
selves by bringing up troops from
Lorraine. At the center the Germans
had not moved from the deep
trenches which they constructed. On
our right wing the army of the crown
prince continues his retreating move
ment. Our advance in Lorraine is
steady. Summing up, the two armies
are strongly entrenched and making
partial attacks on each other on the
whole front without decisive result
on either side.

know that he was in business.
How many friends were there just like the firstY How many dol
lars had this colored man lost through neglect to notify the public
which includes his friends.
The business man did not even resort to the somewhat outof-
date method of scattering circulars. He had never considered ad-
vcrtising. He, too, knew that white merchants who have built their
business from small beginning to large propositions had been large
users Of advertising space in the newspapers. He did not seem to
care to know that the public largely patronized these merchants be-
cause they let the community know what they had for sale. He was

mass of newspapers, all bearing the

tired brain and sun strained eyes al
most refused the task that was set be-
fore. But from somewhere and some
how l gained courage, and plunged in
by stirling with the one on top-it was
the Oklahoma-O, there l go, l didn't
mean to call any names, but the
press work on that particular pour
nal was so poor that one could not
even properly translate the answers
to Booker Washington's article, ask

lions for Negro passengers over GER
tain railroad lines; which was brave
ly undertaken. The Dallas Express
came in for a similar criticism while
the Boston Alliance and Conservative
Counsellor is void of that harmon
ious toning with other parts of the
papers on account of too much front
page advertisement. In others there
were similar and even more ~grievous
errors.
The colored papers that take first
rank in typographical cleanliness and
mechanical accuracy are the Amster-

Hon. N. C. Crews, Dear Sir: l am
enclosing herewith a copy of a decis-

of Colorado in regard to my case,
which was hastily tried in district
court of Otero county at La Junta,
Colo, in July, 1911, where l was in
stantly convicted and sentenced to
death and my aged father, a man of
near SO years, was also convicted as
an accomplish and sentenced from 80
to so years at hard labor in state pen
i%tentiary. 1 was sentenced to death
forSsprotecting my aged father and
mvtner, in their own home, and my
life at the cost of the lives of the two
brutal, inhuman, prejudiced, Negro
hating, lawless policemen who were
assaulting my mother and father, and
seeking to murder me.
But after being denied a new trial
by the judge trying my case, my at

1 succeeded in getting our case to the
supreme court, which readily reversed
the judgment of the lower court, and
granted me a new trial which will
soon come.
Now, dear sir, the fight has just
commenced as the prejudiced class in
that community are determined that
the sentence imposed on my father
and myself be carried out, and they
will use every means in their power
to gain their hellish ends, and to
thwart all in their desire to see me
get justice. l appeal to you for fnan-
