MIssoURlAN DELIGHTED
BY MATCHLESS CLIMATE
AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY

John F. Rose, clerk at the CONNER
cial hotel, who came here a few days
ago, today confessed that he had been
shown enough Of the business activity
Of Elko and the go-ahead spirit of Its
citizens to be convinced that this city
has many advantages which assure its
growth to greatness. He is from Mis-.
souri, ahd formerly was proprietor OF
a famous hoiel at Excelsior Springs.
His ancestral home is at Trenton, Mo.
"'Tis pity" he said, that the
world doesn't hear more OF this match
less climate and OF Nevada's incom
parable, mineral and agricultural re-
sources. Nevada loses nothing, but
actually gains much, In comparison
with California. This is. indeed, an
empire Of opportunity"

THE COLISEUM, st. Louis. June
1.-THE Democratic convention today
was called to order by william F. Nc
Coombs, chairman OF the National
committee, at 1891 p. m.
Although the delegates and specta-
tors were late arriving, the hall pre-
sented a crowded and confused ap-
pearance at the last moment, several
delegations discovering too few seats.
They clashed with the police, who
tried to clear the aisles. Fist fights
were narrowly ayerted.
Mr.. McCoombs, after brief address
OF welcome. appointed Martin H.
Glynn, former governor of New York,
temporary chairman. and other con-
vention officers. Mr.. Glynn began his
address at 1:O5 o'clock.
The general atmosphere of the con.
vention is that of enthusiasm and con,
fident determination to carry out the
harmony program.
Colonel William ]. Bryan arrived al
1918 o'clock and pushed his way to
the press box. He was instantly recog
nized and there followed cheers, hand
clapping and shouts of Bryan!

The Democrats were aroused to ;

As it was, the slide where the train was running was light, and after a few hours shoveling and otherwise removing the sliding snow it proceeded on it's way,
 The slide of today completely de molished 450 feet of snow sheds The action of the slide was but little short of phenomenal in thi- regard, as there has been no slide of such consequence in the vicinity of Corea for more than 20 years In fact, the Great Northern rail road has spent fully one million dollars in tunneling and snow she'd ding in that vicinity since the Wei lngton wreck, more than 20 years ago, when go people were killed
 Six dead were brought into Ever cit and to this city on the trains arriving today The survivors of the wreck and slide were also brought in. Some of the women of the party were in a terrible condition, being practically nervous wrecks af- ter their terrible experiences of yes terday and today.
 Yesterdays wreck occurred near Scenic Hot Springs. The train was moving west when, without warn ing, a slide of millions of tons of snow came down the mountain.

 Judge Bunnel was on the stage that stopped at Munson's on account of the cold weather. He stayed with the rig for two days, hoping that the weather would change and that he could ride on into town. Ho got tired of waiting, however, so started to "hoof' it in yesterday
 But Judge Dunpell will come to town this morning in true northern style. That is, his means of loco motion will be the old reliable dog team.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 23.- Reporting yesterday on the immigra tion bill presented to them for in spection, the house committee on immigration returned the bill in a very much cut-up shape. That is several insertions were made, with provisions regarding the immigration of Japanese, Chinese and Hindus.
 The chief provision inserted in the bill was that which, should the bill pass both houses in it's pres ent state, will practically bar all Japanese, Chinese and Hindu la borers from this country. There is also a provision providing for the punishment of steamship companies allowing said laborers to be trans ported to the shores of the United States on their boats.

CHAUFFEUR ACCUSED OF STEAL ING GETS AWAY WITH
 ACCUSER'S WIFE.

SAN DIEGO, Calif, Jan 23.- Mrs John Hood wife of a promi- nent hotel man of this city. was kidnapped and carried away last night by Lon Johnson a mulat- to. who was formerly in the em- ploy of Mir. Hood as a chauffeur And that the case is one of actual kidnapping is evidenced by the fact that the negro stole the machine at the same time and that Mrs. Hoods cries for help could be heard for quite a distance away.
 Johnson. however, made good his escape. He was followed for long distance by men in other automobiles. but he had discarded his machine at a roadside without the fact being discovered by his pursu- CTS. The couple were heard of as being at Los Angeles this morning and the police of that city are now on the lookout for them. but the trail is lost. so far as the officials are concerned
 Interviewed this morning. MT. Hood stated that the chauffeur had been discharged. He had been caught stealing many times and his various offenses had been condoned. particularly by Mrs. Hood. who had always ta- ken the mans part. However, it finally became necessary for Mir Hood to discharge the negro and 1t was supposed that he had left the city until the affair of last night.
