Burned to Death.

The blacksmithshop, barn and cor
rails of L. w. Compton, in Peavine,
Nye county, were destroyed by fire
last Monday night. Mr.. Compton left
home Monday to go to Smoky Valley,
Is miles distant, to vote, leaving Mrs
Compton alone. James Frauser passed
the place at o'clock Tuesday morning
and saw the barns and corrals were
burned, but seeing light in the house,
and not being on good terms with the
Comptons, he made no investigation.
He went on to Belmont and reported
the fire and two men went to Peavine
to investigate. Not finding Mrs.
Compton at home they came to the
conclusion that she had gone to San
Antonio, six miles distant for help.
They went on to San Antonio and not
finding Mrs. Compton there they re-
turned to the scene of the fire We'd
nesday morning. On looking around
the fire they found the charred re-
mains of Mrs. Compton lying about 10
feet from the stable door. The Austin
ReUeilte says her lower limbs had been
burned off. Near her lay the two col
lars and two brides, half burned,
which she had carried out of the burn
ing stable. A messenger was at once
sent to notify Mr.. Compton, who was
ON his way home when he received the
terrible news. Mrs. Compton was
native of Ireland, aged SO years IL
months and % days. She was one of
the pioneers of the State and was uni
versally respected by all who knew her.

The National Irrigation Congress
which will meet at Chicago, ILL.,, Nov.
Fl, %, % and "a is creating wide inter-
est and promises to be an unusual sue
cess. The national irrigation move
ment has become a broad popular
movement and eastern commercial in
5erests have readily taken hold of the
idea of reclaiming and populating the
arid west and thus creating a great
home market for their goods.
The best authorities on irrigation
and forestry have been secured to
speak and give illustrated lectures.
and men of national fame and renown
as orators and statesmen, will address
the Congress at the great Auditorium
theatre on subjects of national interest
to the West.
Under the constitution of the Con-
gress the mayor of each city of $4,000
or less population is entitled to appoint
two delegates, while cities of greater
population are entitled to four dele
gates. Each agricultural college, or
ganized irrigation, agricultural and
horticultural association, each society
of engineers, irrigation company and
each board of trade and chamber of
commerce is also entitled to two dele
gates.

AMENDMENT NEEDED.
Some of the Weak Points of Austral-
ian Ballot Law.

Anyone who looks at the ballots that
were CAST in this city on the 9Th will
realize the absolute necessity of the
passage of law requiring the use of
rubber stamp in voting, says the
Carson appeal.
Many ballots were rejected because
the voter made a check mark OH his
ballot, while some made sign like a Y
instead of an and some placed marks
like an o. These ballots were rejected
under the law, yet the last decision of
the Supreme Court was to the effect
that the intention of the voter was to
be recognized i'll the counting, for it is
clear that any sort Of a mark after Il
name could convey the idea to the
counters what the voters intentions
were.
An attempt was made in the Senate
four years ago to pass bill allowing
the use of rubber stamp. 1t was
championed by Senator McCone and
fought persistently by Sardis Summer
field 1t was beaten by one vote and
when Symmetrical was asked why he
fought such law, he replied with
cunning chuckle that the present law
was productive of recounts and good
for the lawyers Possibly Mr.. Me-
MILAN will realize the force of this
remark.
The law should be enacted at once.
1t should also go further and be as it is
in other States. The tickets should be
printed in columns side by side, with
the party designations, and the voter
should be allowed the privilege of
placing cross over the top of his par
ty ticket to show that he voted it
straight, or he should be allowed, if
he wished, to vote mixed ticket by
after individual names in all
the tickets. A voter who now wishes
to vote a straight ticket must mark
each name individually, thereby doing
useless work.

Christmas is almost here and what
have you done for the folks back East?
You want to remember them in some

sending them a ten-dollar bill or a

ton. Suppose you send them this
paper for year. 1t will be better

know you are well and will be kept
posted about you. 1t will delight them
more than anything you could send,

The following words from w. J.
Bryan, spoken in the last speech he
made, are prophetic, and will ring in
the ears of his countrymen for GEN.
tury: 't am glad to have all trust
magnates support the Republican
ticket, for, if am elected, they will
not be visiting the White House and
asking favors in return for campaign
support. Our appeal is to the people
who suffer from the trusts, not to mo-
nopolists who profit by them. Next
to- Imperialism and militarism the trust
question has done more than any other
question to convince the plain people
that the Republican party is entirely
given over to the control of the or
ganized wealth. Imperialism exploits
abroad, while private monopoly plumb
ers at home, and the large army advo-
Gated by the Republican party is in
tended to support the system of spoila-
ton at home and abroad.'

One of the Vanderbits has fitted out
an expedition to search the Island of
Java for the last missing link between
the animals and man. 1t is said that a
skeleton recently found there is that of
an understood man with tail This
indicates that such creatures infest this
islands Businesses. Should this be
true, the Darwinean theory that man
has developed from the lower animals
will be proven, and the theory of the
creation must be revised.

Use of Gypsum.

Messrs. Williams and Adams are
turning out tons of ground gypsum
daily from their Empire mill. The
raw product comes from Ex-Governor
Adams mine near the Mound House.
This is the greatest fertilizer for alkali
soils know. Benjamin Franklin was
the first to discover gypsum as fer
tilizer. He chose an alkali fiat in Penn
sylyania and with gypsum made in
large letters on the ground the words
1.-THE uses of gypsum" For some time
these letters could be seen from a
mountain road for over a mile in glar-
ing white. After the rains they changed
to green where the vegetation sprang
up. Last spring the writer tried some
of this fertilizer on alkali adobe soil
which was seemingly worthless. The
land thus dressed was planted to wheat.
The wheat grew raukly to a height OF
nearly six feet, and produced a ton to
the acre of plump and perfect grain
without drop of irrigation. The por.
tions of the field not treated produced
much less than where the fertilizer had
been used. There are millions of acres
of land in Nevada that can be made
enormously productive with the gyp
sum treatment. Try it and you viii
never regret it.-Cdrson AppeFi.

Cheap Insurance.

Don't think you can afford
to run your chances when
life and property are at stake.
Money cagnot bring back the
lives of those you are bound
to protect; and to lose your
building means loss of time
and money. A good Light
ming Rod is the best and
cheapest insurance known.

put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

We were confidently informed prior
to the election that if Bryan was de-
feated at the polls, the PHILIPPINES
would lay down their arms and quit.
Bryan has been defeated by tre-
mendous m FORTY. The Republican
party now says that it will place 20, 900
men in the field to crush out the Phili-
pinos, and the administration has in
structed General Macarthur to keep
his men concentrated and take no
chances The legitimate inference is
that the Philippines were banking on
themselves and their climate more
than on the success of Bryan.
