CLARK HAD
EXCESS CASH ON HAND

There was chagrin in certain quar-
ters when the special auditor sub
mltted his final report on the county
treasurer's office Monday. In pal
tial report made during Mr.. Clark s
absence the auditor mentioned what
appeared t. be some discrepancies in
the trea surer's accounts and a GER
tain few persons had hoped to get
some material out of which to make
po itical capital
Upon Mr.. Clark's return what ap-
peared ito be discrepancies (trivial
ones at thaO were quickly explained
to thhe auditor and after the most
careful chs cking of all amounts
chargeable against the treasurer II
was found that he had on deposit
$45 more than the required amount
In making his report to the county
commissioners. Auditor Freudentha
recommended that they order th'
amount properly disposed of to bal
ance the accounts, whereupon Treas
urer Clark stated that he did no
wish tc accept it and would apportiol

would have been pleased to find th

TONOPAH MINES WILL

During the early part Ct the week
the bullion output Of Tonopah was

TO advance so cents an ounce on tn
silver, but this was subsequently re-
luced to 10 cents and now no. higher
advance than 25 cents an ounce can

While this condition operates as a
great hardship upon the small D. O.

product immediately it will have lit

A precedent for this has been es
tablished in Tonopah by the Tono

commenced to store silver en- ac
count of the low price of the meta
and accumulated 100000 OF. which
it subsequently sold at greatly ad

GIVE NEVADA FEWER
AND BETTER LAWS

The Record is in hearty accord
with the sentiments expressed in
the following, which is taken from
the Wells Herald
Throughout Nevada there is a
growing sentiment in favor of can
didates 'or the legislature to apply
their attention 10 the passage OF
lesser laws and the repeating OF
many of the damphool-acts now on
the statutes. What Nevada needs is
men who will go to the Legislature
hot primed to pull off some pc
litical stunt-but who will legislate
for the benefit OF the people. Let the
session be devoted more to the peo-
pie and less to politics and society.
To accomplish good and lasting re-
suits We must have men who e
capable-who think more OF the
welfare of the state than they do of
mixing it in some political whrl-
pool, or gaining prestige in society
Let's send men to the legislature
who can tell what they have done
when they return to their homes

Metal Situation Is
Materially Improved

The fact that the government has
come to the relief of the metal pro-
ducers and will purchase silver
at 52 cents per ounce has cleared the
situation as far as the mines are
concerned pending the European war.
In Phoebe, the Prince Consolidat-
ed and Amalgamated Pioce are main
tanning their usual shipments of
ore and with the exception OF the
leases, practically all of which are
closed, the local mines are not af
fected by the demoralizing influenc-
es of the war.
The acticn taken by the govern
ment will doubtless reflect in the
leasers gaining new hope and in
duce them to start up again. The
bell { is rapidly gaining ground
that all the metals will soon be
quoted much higher and that the
entire country will be on the high
road to prosperity.
The Amalgamated Phoebe Mines
& Smelt@rs corporation, which laid
off Il portion OF its working force last
week, has received orders from the
New York office of the company to
push development and mining oper
atiors with more vigor than ever
This means that work is to be

FRENCH TRIALS AND THEATRl.
 GALS.

Mme. Caillaux has been acquitted l by French jury on the charge of having murdered Gaston Calmette, editor of Figaro. The facts of the murder were not disputed but the trial, which partook of all the fea- lures of the stage performance of a lurid 'melodrama, could not have had the proper dramatic climax without the acquittal of the somewhat blood stained heroine, and so the jury, out of respect for the dramatic verities, brought in verdict of not guilty and the heroine was carried fainting from the court room while the lawyers and chief witnesses exchanged cards prep aratory to the series of duels that have grown out of the court proceed ings.
 Americans can not understand the French court methods. We cannot imagine a witness haranguing the jury, a juror challenging an attorney or the judge promises to perforate a learned advocate as soon as the yer dict is returned. Yet such incidents marked the trial of Mme. Caillaux. In a trial in a French court the pris- oner and the witnesses are not cut short by heartless rules of evidence, by requests to confine themselves to things wholly within their own knowledge. They say pretty much any thing that comes into their heads, and with such appeals to Heaven" and the Deity" and with such fine stage effect as excite their audiences to the highest pitch of admiration or furious hate No wonder Sardou and other French playwrights thrill one so. They had living models to work from. They had only to transcribe sympa- thetically what they had often Wit messed. Imagine French courts con- ducted under English methods of pro- cedure, and you imagine the impos- sible, you imagine what would pro- yoke a storm of protest and perhaps a revolution.
 The Caillaux case was finely staged and the actors all acquitted them selves splendidly.-Ex.

SHIPPING. BILL
 ID BE AMENDED
to Care for New Con ditions By Passing Law Modelled
 After the English Bill.

WASHINGTON Aug 1.-The ad- ministration is having prepared a shipping bill modelled after that of England to provide for the manner and method by which the large num- Der of foreign ships now in the Un- ited States might come under the protection of the American govern ment.
 Shipping men are fighting the bill so are the labor organizations, who claim that no cheaply operated ships paying starvation wages are to be run under the American flag. Peace advocates are also opposing any bill which will allow German ships to take American register, fearing that we are certain to be involved in the entire world into the most terrible conflict that has ever been known.
 It is rumored here that the Eng fish ambassador has protested to the State department against any bill al- lowing German ships to use the American flag, and has intimated that his government would be displeased if the United States attempted to carry out the effort to protect Ger man shipping. The rumor is denied, however, by friends of the presi. dent, who say that if the bill is pass ed it will be done with the consent of the English government.

SUI LzER ID FIGHT
 FOR NOMINATION He and Governor Glynn Both Enter Democratic Primaries-Expect
 Big Vote Be Cast.

NEW YORK, Aug. Ex-Governor Glynn today announced his candi' dacy for the nomination as governor on the Democratic ticket. His nomi nation was hardly made before form CT Governor Sulzer, now an assem- blyman from New York, also an nounced that he would run in the Democratic primaries.
 A big vote is expected by the friends of both men. The Tammany organization will fight desperately to prevent the nomination of Sulzer and also to encompass his defeat should he secure the nomination at the pri- maries and run against District At torney Whitman, who is almost cer- tain to be he Republican nominee, although Col. Roosevelt is making a hard fight in the Republican party to secure the nomination of Harvey Hinman, whom he favors and who would secure the endorsement of the Bull Moosers.
