POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE
UNITED IN WEDLOCK

Last night two of our well-known
young folks were married at Austin,
following an automobile trip taken for
that purpose earlier in the day, says
the Battle Mountain Scout. The high
contracting parties were none other
than DR.. v. f. Wells, our popular den
tist, and Miss Gladys Huntsman, niece
of Mr. and Mrs. w. C. Hancock, equal
ly well known and liked by many of
Battle Mountain IS residents. Accom-
panying the bride and groom were Mrs.
Ernest Lemaire, Merle Lemaire ani
Karl Mitchell
1t had been rumored for some weeks
past that the young couple were en-
gagged, but no public announcement of
the fact had been made; hence the
heiira of the party to the county seat
and subsequent marriage, came more
or less as a surprise to their many
friends. Perhaps it may have been that
they were bashful and did not wish to
stand up in the presence of their
neighbors; but, be that as it may, now
that they are married, their many
friends of Battle Mountain and this
section of Nevada, unite in wishing
them the best of fortune IS favors and
long life to enjoy them

PROCRESSIYFS
ELECT DELEGATES

The Progressive party met in Reno
yesterday, elected delegates to the
Chicago convention, and adopted a
platform.
The delegates are p. L. Flanagan,
Parker Liddell, w. B. Lind, Sardis
Summerfeld, d. Call and George
Springmeyer The alternates are H. G..
Comins, n. E. Bartoo, w. d. Hatton,
w. T. Moran, J. G.. Kaufman and Peter
Anker.
The endorsement of Mr.. Roosevelt is
contained in section of the resolu-
tions adopted and reads as follows:
"We favor a union of effort by all
citizens, who are not in accord with
the manifested policies of the present
national administration, provided such
union will not involve the surrender of
firm conviction and a deep seated sense
of what constitutes fundamental truth.
$50 believing, we favor the nomina-
tion for President of the United States
of true and tried statesman, unafraid
to meet any and all issues which may
soon arrive. We think Theodore Roose-
welt can best meet these require
ments.o
The resolutions are signed by P. L.
Flanagan, chairman of the Progressive
national committee of Nevada, and
George Springmeyer, secretary.
The resolutions begin with these
words:
The Progressive party of Nevada
speaking by its authorized represent.
atives, regretting that neither the
Democratic party nor the Republican
party of this state has deemed it con
sequential to declare its attitude con
cerning the momentous impending
questions now convulsing the civilized
world, briefly places itself upon rec
ord. -
The convention then resolved that
while citizens should have sympathy
for the land of their ancestors, but
that this sympathy must be subordi
nat to the laws, the honor and integri
ty of the United States, and the party
stands steadfastly for the preserva
tion of the inherent rights of all man
kind as declared in the Declaration OF
Independence and national constitu
| ton.
The establishment of stable and
orderly government in Mexico is found
to be Immediately imperative and the
Progressives are on record as favorine
protective tariff that will enable the
workingmen of the nation to receive
payment sufficient to enable them t.
live comfortably, rear and educate
their children and which shall yield 4
reasonable profit to all employers.
The abandonment by the Democratic
administration of its free sugar policy
is commended and the hope is express
ed that the same policy will extend tc
the wool schedule. The Progressive'
would be pleased to see enacted intc
law ga general and comprehensive
restoration of the distinctively Ameri
can protective tariff principle"
The convention expressed its belief
in American military and naval pre-
paredness sufficient to protect the livel
and property of all citizens.

TOMORROW NIGHTS
FEATURE AT THE NIXON

The William Fox production Of
fCarmen,'' featuring Theda Bara,
"Hades' handmaiden and love child
of the devil,' in the role of Carmen,
the naughty and intolerant gypsy firt,
will be the feature offering at the
Nixon opera house tomorrow night. In
investiture this production is past all
precedent in pomp and lavish splendor.
The William Fox photoplay, Gear
men, bears little relation to the dra-
matte content and course of the like
named opera and scarcely more to the
tale of Merimee, whence Meilhae and
for music. 1t shows the smugglers
landing goods upon the shore and plan
ming to convey them illicitly inland to
the town. 1t visualizes their failure
to turn Jose, on guard at the wall,
from his duty, and the proposal of Car
men to WOO and win him. The films
then unrooll scenes of seduction be-
tween Carmen and Jose in the tavern,
in the course of which the arrival of
the bull-fghter and his subsequent
amorous interehanges with the girl are
pictured. Scenes of work in the cigar
ette factory next traverse the screen,
making way for the scene at the wall
in which the smugglers bear their
goods through the breach while Car
men and Jose, HARDLY, toy amorously.
Next fight among the cigarette girls
is represented in which Carmen is a
lusty participant and into which the
soldiery come to take her into turbu-
lent custody.
After a brief and relatively tranquil
interlude, second fight is pictured
this time in the tavern, between Jose
and another soldier, with Carmen as
an excited and pleased spectator on an
overhanging staircase. A few more
lengths of the films suffice to show her
WEAKNESS of Jose, her reading of i'm
pending death on the cards, and her
journey into the town with the bull
fighter. A street before the ring with
the crowd that fills it then appears on
the screen and the remaining pictures
cut back and forth between the course
of the bull-fght within; the haggard
waiting of Jose without; and the death
of Carmen at his hands.
For this production Mr. Fox engaged
the services of the most reckless dare
dell, death -defying man that it was
possible to find for the jump of eighty
three feet on horseback at Au Sable
Chasm, Port Kent, N. Y. In the final
scene, where Jose kills Carmen, he es-
capes to the woods instead of stabbing
himself: he races over the road until
he reaches the top of the chasm, where
the horse jumps eighty-three feet
through the air, carrying Jose with
him to his death. In the moving picture
which you viii see in "Carmen the
horse makes two loop the loops and
the rider never leaves his back. 1t is
one of the most thrilling scenes ever
enacted for picturse. The name of the
man who made the leap was Art Jarvis,
who broke his leg and was laid up in
the Flower hospital, New York. The
horse, however, escaped uninjured. The
animal was formerly with the Barnum
& Bailey circus and was named Tore
ador He was specially imported and
taken to Au Sable Chasm in special
express ear for the jump.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
WILL ENJOY CIRCUS

Visions Of personally conducted
trolley trips, scenic trips through pic
tur sque countries, Immediately flash
before the mind s eye when we read
personally conducted trips
Next Friday, the young and those
who are not so young, who attend the
Barnes afternoon show, are to have
the rare opportunity of enjoying a
personally conducted trip through the
animal tents of the world s biggest
wild animal circus. The schools through
this state and California realize the
great educational advantages to be OBJ
tanned in a circus of this kind, and
when Emma G. Miller called upon Pro
fessors Jewell and Scott of the High
and Grammar schools, explaining the
object and purpose of these trips for
their pupils, a holiday was arranged
for and an announcement made. At /
D. m. those of the children who are
going to the circus are TO assemble In
a body at the entrance of the big tent.
As they enter, Mr.. James Morrow, one
of the best informed men on the way
animals are captured and trained, will
take the party in charge and conduct
them through the animal tents, ex
planning where the different animals
come from and how they were taught
to do their particular trick.
Comfort stations have been installed
and lady will be present to look after
the girls and man for the boys. At
ter the free lecture by Mr.. Morrow,
the party will be escorted to block
of seats reservd for them and attend
ants placed at the foot of the seats TO
answer any questions the teachers or
children may ask. That nothing for
the DAYS pleasure may be missing Mr..
Barnes has put on special caterers TO
look after the "cireus appetites of
the youngsters. Plenty of red lemou-
ade. popcorn, peanuts and ice cream
may be purchased from them.
Remember, the doors open at p. m.

DEMENTED MAN IS
PLACED IN JAIL AT ELKO

A stranger appeared in the city Sat
urday night, making the rounds of the
saloons and hotels, and il soon became
evident by his peculiar actions that he
was demented. He first showed up at
the Commercial hotel, where he wanted
to get a check cashed for $4,000. He
then made the rounds of the saloons
of the city with blank checks, saying
that he wanted money and must have
$4,000 to send his wife.
He was taken in charge by the local
officers at an early hour Sunday morn
ing and placed in the insane ward Of
the county Jail. The man gave his
name as f. j. Miller and said that
his home was in San Francisco, where
he said he had a wife living.
He told the iailer that he wanted
someone to accompany him to the Com
mercial hotel where he had a million
dollars on deposit and that he must
get some money TO send his wife. Tie
further stated that he was going TO
start a newspaper in every town IN
California and run the Los Angeles
Times out of business and that he
would buy an automobile and take
everyone in Elko on a joyride.
Outside of talking of having great
wealth, the man seemed to be rational.
He said that he had been a gauger in
the internal revenue office at San
Francisco under the late President
Cleveland and that he learned of the
deadly effect of Intoxicating liquor or
tn human mind. 1t was the consensus
of opinion of those who heard him that
he was not at least crazy in making
that remark.
Nothing is known of the man here
and the local authorities will communi
cate with the California authorities
to get some information as to the
man s antecedents and residence. 1t is
thought that he has escaped from
some mental infrmary somewhere ON
the coast.-Free Press.
