A Squaw Man Colony.

visitors at the Lake that about two
dozen squaws and white men are

the scene OF the most disgracetul
orgies.
The whole outfit are drunk most
OF the time and the noise of their
revels can be heard mile. The
scenes enacted there, according to
all accounts, are vile beyond de-
scri ption and the sooner the Cal

camp the better for the general well

Yet some people are never hungry.
Whatever they eat has to be "iorced
down." There is, OF course, some
thing wrong with these people. BY
taking Hood's Sarsaparilla short
time they are given an appetite and
then they enjoy eating and food
nourishes them. IT you find your
appetite failing, just try a bottle OF
Hoods. 1t is true stomach tonic
and every dose does good.

DEATH OF MRS. {. NEWMAN.
Al Old and Respected ResIdcst Of this Consty
Passes Suddealy Away.

Last Monday evening the COM
munity was shocked at the an
nouncement OF the death of Mrs.
Elizabeth Newman. Although along
in years, and in failing health for
the past year, Mrs. Newman was
seen on the street almost daily up to
the time of her death, the cause of
which was neuralgia or paralysis
of the heart.
Mrs. Newman was a native of In
diana, aged 90 years. While girl
she moved to Iowa, and there mar
ried Mr.. Newman. In 1868 she and
her husband came overland to Ne
vada and located on the Carson
River, about fifteen miles below
Dayton. Within two months after
settling there her husband died,
leaving her with seven children.
How bravely and faithfully she per-
formed her duty is known by all
who had her early acquaintance.
Her brother, Riley Hougham. came
to her from Oregon, and ever after
was father to the desolate family,
who here grew to manhood and
womanhood. In 1873 Mrs. Newman
moved 10 Dayton, and has resided
here up to the time of her demise.
Last Winter Mrs. Newman went
to California to visit her daughters,
Mrs. CARING and Mrs. Gates She
was called home about a month ago
by the death OF her youngest daugh-
ter, Mrs. Riley Davis, OF Carson, and
the evening before leaving Califor-
MIA had the misfortune to break her
wrist. Last Sunday morning she
complained of neuralgia pains i'll
her arm ami chest, but did not seem
to be seriously i'll, and her death
Monday evening, was a shock to all
her friends. She leaves two sons,
Andrew and james, and two daugh-
ters, Mrs. CARING and Mrs. Gates,
also two step-daughters i'll the East,
Mrs. Francis and Mrs. Huntington,
besides several grandchildren, to
mourn her loss. In her taking ava y
self-sacrihcing and loving mother
and grandmother is lost to her rela-
tives and true woman and good
neighbor to her friends. Her work
was done, but she will live forever
in. the memory of her children and
| friends.
The funeral services were held at
the Court House Thursday after
noon, Rev. Hazlett officiating. The
floral tributes were protuse, and the
choir rendered very touching and
appropriate music. The remains
were encased in beautiful casket,
and the hall was crowded to take II
last look at the peaceful features OF
one who had so long been known
and respected in the community.
A long line OF carriages and people
on foot followed the remains to the
grave, where the last sad rites were
performed and the burial conducted
under the management of funeral
director Kuhn.

SUPREME Relief LAW.
Business Transacted at the Recent Session OF
the Supreme lodoe, A. O. U. W.

Grand Recorder, J. K. Gignoux,
who returned last Saturday from
attending the annual session OF the
Supreme Lodge, a. y. U. w, fur
nishes the following in relation to
the business transacted:
The time of the Supreme Lodge
session recently held at Sioux Falls,
S. D., was primarily taken up with
the consideration of the mornentous
question of amending the Relief
Law. At the session of 1899 it was
agreed that the system in vogue
was inadquate to meet the require
ments and guarantee the perpetuity
of the Order; furthermore an ele-
ment OF dissatisfaction at what was
considered an unequal distribution
of the burden of providing relief for
weak jurisdictions, but which in
reality is nothing more or LEGS than
an abandonment of the principles OF
fraternity and the substitution OF
cold blooded business therefor, had
BECOME apparent,
This latter sentiment came from
the low rate Jurisdictions which had
made phenomenal records with al
most unlimited opportunity for
steady increase of their member
ship and the consequent postpone
ment of the time when they shall be
applicants for relief. These juris-
dictions were unwilling, to the point
OF secession from the Order, to con-
tribute to a fund in which they
Were unlikely to participate.
The two conditions to be met,
namely. the providing of more funds
and the satisty wing OF the dissatisfied,
were given much thought and dis
cussion in 1899 with the result that a
commission was appointed by the
Supreme Lodge which was instruct
ed to report in 1900. Various pro-
posed methods were discussed and in
turn abandoned by the committee
which finally settled on the plan OF
reserve or guarantee fund, and the
collection of money by direct assess
ment instead OF post mortem de-
auctions.
The plan provides tor the collection
of sum approximating $500 for
each member, in lieu of Relief Call,
which il divided into IL payments
according to class and is made part
of the amount due on each assess
ment. Ten cents Is added to the low
est class, that is, from IS to "a years
and twenty eight cents to tn. high
est class, that il so years or over.
So that the amount OF one asseSs-
nent will, after the adoption of the
new plan. necessitate the collection
OF S3.84 from member in the high.
est class instead OF So Sc as at present.
The Representatives, OF Massa.
chusettS, Pennsylvania and Missouri
presented plans somewhat at vari-
ance with the committees report,
but these were given small consider
alton, and upon the final adoption of
the amendments to the Constitution
putting into effect the committees
plan the vote stood soI in the affirm
ative to 4 i'll the negative, the repre-
Scntativcs OF Nevada Jurisdiction
standing alone in opposition, believ-
ing AS they did that they voiced the
sentiment OF large portion of the
membership which they represented,
who think that the Relief Call could
he collected on the level plan with
less hardship than upon the classifi-
cd plan.
