THE Southern Pacific last week
paid S14l,879 tax in the various
counties through which their road
runs in this State. If the govern
ment forecloses it's mortgage and
takes possession of tho road, the
State and counties will lose that
revenue, as government property is
not subject to taxation. Would the
government reduce fares and freights
to our people to the amount of $l4l,-
874 annually? Hardly.

Official Paper of Esmeralda County.
wEDN EsDAY. 49,. DECEMBER 10, 1894.

THE new Constitution OF New York
permits the use of voting machines,
several OF which have been success
fully tested in the western part OF the
State. These machines are built on
tho cash register principle. The
names of the candidates are printed
on the push. buttons, and the buttons
are arranged in rows of different col
ors, representing the various par
ties. The voter. pushes the button
bearing the name Of the candidate
for whom he desires to vote, and his
vote is recorded An ignorant voter
can vote straight by simply pushing
ts.v A-e.~.s af'the color rcprcsentips
his political party It Is os timated
that although New York City would
require 1000 of these machines at
$3.50 each, the city would save $780,
900 annually on the cost OF elections
by using them. They would do away
with poll clerks and with tickets, be-
sides preventing frauds, and would
guarantee accuracy in the count.
The voting machine is the ideal bal
lot box. 1t cannot be stuffed and it's
computations are unfailing. II it
should come into general use the re-
turns Of elections would be received
early in the evening instead of late
Mt night. ss

LIVING WITH A BROKEN NECK.
Little Isaac Gocrstein's Spinal Column Is
Broken, But He May Recover.


Perhaps the most interesting patient that
has ever been treated in the Gouverneur
Hospital, from surgical point OF view,
is little Isaac Goerstein. who is lying en-
cased in plaster jacket in the children
ward there with dslOcated neck. The
fact that the child IS alive Is in itself re-
markable but what Is still more remarka-
bic. House Surgeon Jamal says, IS that he
Will probably recover
Isaac is 9 years old, and IS the son OF

loon at Allen and Division streets, and
lives at Allen street He Is studious
little fellow, and stands at the head or

returning home from school ne was
knocked down by a truck. He was taken
10 Gouverneur Hospital, where 1t was
at first supposed that the lad was suffer-
ing from cerebral hemorrhage.
DIR. Janal and his assistants made n
careful examination OF the boy, and dis
covered n fracture OF the spinal column,
between the fifth and sixth cervical Verte-
brae The spinal cord was not injured.
The lobe OF the right ear was split and
there were also indications OF n slight
fracture OF the base Of the skull The lad
has retained consciousness throughout,
but Is unable 10 articulate. He was at
once placed In a plaster Jacket which
makes II impossible for him 20 move his
head or the upper part Of his body, but
he can move his hands and feet. His
respiration is labored and uneven. The
only food given him consists OF beef tea
and matted milk. which he takes with APP
par snt relish. The doctors at the hOspi-
tai ara watching the case with great in
terest, and they hope for a successful
outcome.
DIR. Jamal said last night that he con-
sidered the case the most remarkable
that has ever come under his observation.
There are few cases on record OF patients
with broken necks living. ever for a short
time. Death in such cases IS usually in
Simultaneous, particularly so with children.
The lad has gradually improved under
treatment. and If he gets we'll II will GER
tainly be a miraculous recovery.
