TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

Willie Hearst of the San Fran
cisco Examiner wants war with
Spain while Mickey De Young of the
San Francisco Chronicle don't want
war. From where we stand it is
hard to tell which is the bigger ass
of the two, but we are inclined to
think Willie is.
Chas. Muller of Golconda is said
to be convalescing slowly but surely
from a severe attack of pneumonia.
All sorts of war rumors were
afloat yesterday and there was much
excitement in consequence. VIM
nemucca will furnish 500 soldiers in
case of clash with Spain-that is,
if talk counts for anything.
Jim Jeffries and Joe Goddard
fought at Los Angeles night before
last the first named winning in the

In Washington the war feeling
has abated. War at the present
time cannot possibly do this country
any good but if it can not be
averted the United States is ready
to keep up its reputation Of not
taking a back seat for any nation
under the sun and to war and to
victory she will go. nA
II anything is to be accomplished
for public library a petition con-
tanning the names of q number Of
tax payers must be presented at
one Of the meetings Of the board Of
commissioners. Reno has its petit
ton out and no doubt it will soon
have q public library. What is the
matter with Winnemucca?
The meeting of the cabinet Tues
day, at which. all of the members
were present disclosed the fact that
the government is still without news
regarding the cause Of the disaster
of the Maine. sos ~
Deputy Sheriff Rose arrested q
Chinaman named Henry Hank last
night for selling whiskey to Indians.
He will be taken before U. S. Com
missioner Archer for examination.
One Of the most pleasant times
spent at the cycling academy was
the one Of last evening. There were
over 70 spectators and about SO
cyclers some of whom were very
good in cycling and graceful in
movement while others cut the
usual sorry figure of the beginner.
The band played for over an hour
with an interruption at 8 o'clock
at which time the potato race was
to take place. Four heats were run,
Robert Dunn, Albert Wolf and Roy
Trousdale being the first which was
won by Albert Wolf.
The second heat was run by
Goldie Warren, George Nease and
Bertman Nixon and was won by
Goldie Warren; Newton jackson,
Ralph Case and Roger Cody were
entered in the third heat and was
won by young jackson, who is one
of the best cyclers that visits the
academy. The final between the
winners of the above three was
won by Albert Wolf, Newton Jack
son coming in close second.
Some of the boys of Elko may
sign contracts not to keep company
with any young Lady for a specific
time under the penalty of paying
for wine suppers, but how is this
for two Of Elko's old bachelors
asks the Independent. Two old
bachelors sent certain product OF
Eiko county to the Worlds Fair and
as a result received a very hand
some medal. When it arrived both
wanted It and there arose, dis
pute as to which was the ,rightful
owner. 1t was finally agreed, how
ever, that the one who first became
the father of a ten pound boy was
to have the medal. We are anxi-
ously watching the result for both
are determined men.
