An Expert ON 4 ne Grip.

The lucid, practical paper on influ-
enza and its general treatment, COM
municared to the New York Herald
by the distinguished Paris physician,
DIR. Albert Robin, should be carefully
preserved by nil readers. Ii deserves
more than passing notice. especially
because 1t covers in plain language all
thar is necessary Tor persons stricken
down with the grip tn know at the
outset.
One Of the most important points
In DR.. Robins treatment of grip is
the elimination of the poisonous ami
NAL products which Infectious dis
ease always endangers in the body Of
patient. As antipyrine, he SAYS,
"depresses the nervous system and
closes the kidneys, which are the
principal means of eliminating animal
poisons. il is more harmful than use
tul. The dangerous toxic products
can he eliminated from the system by
the use of aromatic drinks (as ginger.
cinnamon, mint,) with small doses of
sulphate of quinine from four to
eight grains each) taken three times
a day.
If this simple treatment is observed
and the patient takes to his bed on
the first attack of the disease and re-
mains in the house five or six days
after conyalescence begins, the danger
of fatal complications will be greatly
lessened.

The Court House Paid Fer.

Last Monday the Board of Commits
sianers made a transfer of $50 10 the
Court House Building Fund and Glenn
ed up the last Court House bond
Then the Stars and Stripes were raj sed
on the building and greeted with a
hearty hurrah. For the first time in its
history White Pine county now has a
Court House and other county build
ings free from debt. Without desir-
ing to call up the bitter feeling the
removal of our county seat engender-
ed at the time, aud the obstacles
thrown in the way of those charged
with the erection of the new build
ings. it is but justice to them to say
they fulfilled their trust in an able
and economical manner, and without
any remuneration whatever. 1t IS
also not out of place for us, we think,
at this time, to point with some de-
gree of pride and satisfaction to the
fact that not trace Of suspicion con
corning official integrity has arisen
since the county seat has been located
on Murray Creek. All the old "leak-
ages" have been stopped; we have no
Court House rings ms of old; with de-
creased revenue, MI our county funds
are getting in better condition, and
our tax rate this wear is lower than at
any time in the last 10 years. We know
we came in for our share of abuse
for The part We took in the removal,
and some there be WIN have not for
given us yet and perhaps never will.
But the results We point To above Is
enough to justify the course the NEWS
pursued in the matter. Let the old
Flag float.

CONTROLLER's REPORT.
The Expenses Of Our State Govern
mena Last Year.

We are in RECEIPT of copy of the
annual report of Hon. r. L. Horton,
State Controller of Nevada, for the
fiscal year ending December 81, 1891.
1t shows the expenses of the State
Government to have been $396,415 IA,
and the revenue $335,849 10.
The expenditures were: Legislative
Department, $49,553 o.; Executive
Department. $50, 729 81; Judicial De-
partment, $21, 126; public printing,
Sf5,379 90; public buildings $685.;
support Of State Prison, $36,434 As;
charitable purposes INSANE Asylum
and Orphans Home). $63,955 OF; sup
port of public schools $76,212 80;
Interest on State debt, $25, 730; Dis
trict Judges, $25, 3O8 As; misoelane-
Gus purposes, $40,618 72.
The amount expended for the sup
port of schools is derived from lands
granted to the State byCongress for the
schools, and should be deducted from
the expenditures for State purposes
proper.
The net revenue paid into the State
Treasury in 1891 was $230,S75 80,
aud the total expenditures Of the State
Government, exclusive of schools,
1922, 239 81, an excess of expendi-
lures over receipts of S91, 1868 70.
1t will be seen from the above that
the State is running rapidly in debt,
and were ii not for the State School
Fund to draw on, the State Government
would be clogged for the want of
| financial grease. But the School
Fund won't always if we continue to
draw over 100000 years from its
resources for State expenses. There
is no doubt but our State government
is altogether too expense; il is equally
true that one-third of the property In
the State is not made to pay its just
share of the public burden. The
revenue measures of the last Legisla-
lures, which it were hoped would set
the State on better financial footing,
have not accomplished the desired
end and some other remedy must be
evolved and applied.

Nicotine Poisoning az winnemucoa

The Silver State says: As David
Giroux, of the Winnemucca Hotel,
was about to retire Saturday night
he heard noise in the adjoining
room as of some one in distress. He
went into the room, where he found
his son Eddie, who had gone to bed
some time before, in commissions and
frothing at the mouth. DIR. Herdan
was Immediately called, and when he
arrived the boys pulse was almost
imperceptible. After working with
him four hours the boy was brought
out of the fit, which the doctor says
was caused by nicotine poisoning
from excessive cigarette smoking.

To be Tested.

Hon. Geo. s. Sawyer, of Phoebe, has
commenced suit to test the legal ex-
istence of the Board of Assessors, as
he thinks the Act creating it is un-
constitutional. He has borne the ex-
expense so far, and the Record thinks
he should not be allowed to carry on
the fight alone. and suggests that he
receive financial aid from every tax
payer in Lincoln county at least.
We are not in sympathy with Mr..
Sawyer's movement. We prefer to
give the State Board Act fair show
and see what results it will accomplish.

FRENCH TELEGRAPH STORY.

How n Young Girl Outwitred tn, German
During tho Franco German War.
Pail Mall Budgetl'
In the nco-German War of 1870 the
Uhlans played havoc with the French tele-
graph wires On arriving at village they
would ride up to the telegraph Office, cut of
the connections, and carry off the appa-
ratns, or else employ it to deceive the
enemy. They were outwitted, however, on
one occasion, and by woman. Mile
Juliette Dodu, girl of IS, was director of
the telegraph station at Pithiviers, where
she lived with her mother when the Prus-
SLAMS entered the town. They took possess
sion of the station, and turning out the two
women confined them to their dwelling on a
high floor. 1t happened that the wire from
the Office, in running to the pole on the
roof, passed by the door of the girls room,
and she contrived the idea of tapping the
Prussian messages The had contrive to
keep the telegraph instrument, and by
means of connection with the wire was
able to carry out her purpose. Important
kilograms of the enemy were thus obtained
and secretly communicated to the sub-pre-
feet of the town, who conveyed them across
the Prussian lines to the French COM
mander.
Mdlle. Dodu and her mother were both
arrested, and proofs of their guilt were soon
discovered. They were brought before a
court martial and speedily condemned to
death, but the sentence had to be confirmed
by the commander of the corps d'armee,
Prince Frederick Charles, who, having
spoken with Mdlle. Dodu on several occa-
sions, desired her to be produced. He in
quired her motive in committing so grave
breach of what is called the claws of war -
The girl replied: 'Je suis Franchise" q
am Frenchwoman). The Prince confirmed
the sentence, but happily, before it was ex-
ecuted. the news of the armistice arrived
and saved her life. In 1873 this telegraphic
heroine was in charge of the postoffice at
Montreuil, near Vinconnes, and on August
18 she was decorated with the Legion of
Honor BY Marshal Mcmahon, President of
the Republic.

The most curious instance of how uneI-

LANDS OF MYSTERIES.
The Pacific Dotted With Verdant
Isles Unknown to Sailors.
NEW ONES BORN EVERY YEAR.
Awful Spectacle of Volcanic Upheavals From
tho Oceans Eed
ROBINSON CRUSOES IN FAR.OFF SEAS

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArCHI
Ono night in May, 1919, Captain De Pey-
ster, an American. of the ship Rebecca, was
scudding along before stiff breeze six hun
dred miles north of Fiji, when a startling
cry from the deck summoned him from his
cabin. He had not a gray hair when he
heard that cry, but next morning his fore
lock was perfectly white, and until age sill
vered his head it remained conspicuous
memento of that night.
1t was as dark as pitch and raining in
torrents when the men forward called out,
"a light ahead" That light, which saw
ages had kindled, saved the ship, for she
had been bowling along toward certain de-
struction upon an unknown island. 1t was
night of terrible anxiety, for in spite of
all the sailors could do it seemed, for hours,
as though their ship would be driven to de-
struction upon the land. The preceding
night, while the Rebecca was under all sail,
the helmsman suddenly saw low, white,
sandy beach apparently only cables
length ahead. Turning sharply on the star
board tack he just cleared the land.
He Had Discovered New Group.
Captain De Peyster had discovered new
group in the Pacific, the Ellice and De
Pevster islands, and the exciting incidents
of those two nights decided him thereafter
to lie by every night after dark until day
break. Sailors tell US that many a lost ship
in the Pacific has doubtless driven in the
darkness upon some little unknown island,
meeting the fate that De Peyster narrowly
escaped. Many an atoll can scarcely be
distinguished even by daylight few miles
away. because its highest land rises only 30
or 40 feet above sea level. Hundreds of
ships pass by the Laughlan group, east of
New Guinea, but few white men have ever
seen these low-lying islands.
The best authorities on Australasian
geography say that there are many lit
tie islands scattered over the Pacific that
have never been seen by white sailors; and
we know this is so, because every now and
then a new speck in the ocean is brought to
light. Not only little rocks, but islands OF
considerable Importance are discovered.
Plenty of Islands Yet to Explore. q
The great expanse stretching between
CeIebes and Timor on the west and New
Guinea on the east is still imperfectly
known. New islands like that which the
