Advertising That Pays.

II the last issue of Scribner's Mag
azine appears an advertisement OF the
Emporium Basketry Mr. Cohn has
tried number OF eastern magazines
and in each instance the advertisements
has produced good results. The rates
IN ocribners are the highest that Mr.
Cohn has yet paid but the results seem
to be the best. Already he has receiv.
ed applications for more catalogues
than he had on hand. and several big
sales have been made
The reason of the success is, first
the Emporium Basketry sells just wha
it advertises There is no doubt bu
that the Emporium is carrying the
finest line of Indian baskets OF any
market in America, and as for a col
lection it is hard to beat Mr. Cohr
has worked this industry up practi
cally from nothing, until the Indians
are beginning to realize that there worl
is worth money. Not only is the worl
advertised, but Carson also gets
boost in the business.

Forest Fires.

The Gardnerville Record has the iol-
lowing;
While the inhabitants Of Genoa slum-
bered and rested in fancied security,
the dreaded element Of fire threatened
The fire started at the summit, near the
Kingsbury grade. Without the timely
help afforded by few energetic citi-
EMS, the town might have been swept
to the ground. A surface area OF abou,
one square mile was burned over, and
had the wind been blowing from an
other direction, the efforts of a few
men could not have changed the course
OF the fire, which, fed by the dry un-
derbrush and debris, was steadily and
surely making its way to Genoa.
A similar experience will not be well
coined by the fire fighters, who, almost
suffocated by the smoke, and roasted
by the fierce heat, stood at their posts
and dug trenches keeping the flames
| within certain confines. Within a
short distance was the Campbell saw
| mill and valuable timber land.

FOR INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS
LATEST MOVE OF NATIONAL
TUBE COMPANY.
Employees Given But Short Time
to Think Matter
Over.

Pittsburg, July 26-The National
Tube Works company, at McKeesport,
has made an unexpected move intend
ed to checkmate the Amalgamated as
c~ociation. Their workmen have been
asked to sign individual contracts to
practically repudiate any labor union
and they have been given but short
time to think tho matter over. It Is
understood that should they not sign
contracts they will find their positions
vacant and the axe Is expected to fall
tomorrow.
It TRANSFERRED today that late on
Thursday evening 600 welders Of the
mills were paid or and then taken into
the office Of the general superintend-
ent, where they were presented with
individual contracts to be signed for
at least a year. Some demurred while
others singned the contracts.
The movement OF fighting IRE with
fire carried CONSERVATION Into the
ranks Of the strikers. Welders are
highly skilled workmen and with
their cooperation the big plant might
be closed down. With them in line,
the plant will probably keep on run
ming as though nothing had happened.
It was predicted by friends Of the
welders that they would all sign the
contract.

Pittsleld. Mass. July 26-At the

the jury to bring in q verdict Of not

trial. The jurymen did not leave their
seats. The verdict was received with
shouts Of applause which the court
Immediately suppressed. The demon.
stration. however, was one Of the
most remarkable that has eve oc.
Cured in a court OF justice.
Judge Stevens on ordering the yer
dict Of acquittal said:
"Mr. Jurymen and Gentlemen:
During six days we have listened to
the recital Of one Of the saddest trag-
edies ever presented to a jury. A
beautiful girl. Just budding into
womanhood. was shot down. and her
brother has been accused Of the
crime. The government has endeavor-
ed to prove that the girl was not shot
by burglars: it has endeavored to
clude all other members of the family
from the assassination and to prove
that the shot was fired by her brother,
Robert s. Fosburgh. The trial has
proceeded somewhat In the form Of an
inquest and has been tried with great
pains on the part Of the government
an defense. There has been a desire
to obtain proof, and so a great deal of
evidence has been introduced and ad.
mitted without objection. which might
have been excluded under the strict
rule of the law. I think I ought also
to say to you that it Is due to the
chief of police, who has stood behind
this prosecution. that in the view Of
the court he has tried to do his duty
with an eye single to ascertaining the
truth. Now, Mr.. foreman and gentle-
men, a motion has been made that
this case be taken from the jury and
it becomes my duty to say to you that
in the opinion Of the court the govern
ment has not furnished proof suf.
flcient to sustain q verdict Of guilty
against the defendant; and, therefore.
under direction Of the court, In the in
dictment Of Robert 8. Fosburgh for
killing his sister. you will return a
verdict Of not guilty.
The crowd in the court room which
included hundreds Of friends OF the
defendant, broke into loud applause,
which the court immediatly quelled
by sternly raising his finger and com.
manding the sheriff to see that the
demonstration was not repeated.
Robert Stewart Fosburgh, defendant,
was then led to the stand while the
foreman Of the jury was asked What
is your yerdict?"
The reply was. mot guilty"
Judge Stevens. then, in q few words
expressed his thanks to the jurymeu
for their careful consideration Of the
case during its presentation to them
Young Robert Fosburgh was then dis
charged from custody and court ad-
journed.
The great crowd rushed as one per-
son to shake the hand of the smiling
young man and it was several min.
