A London physician of large prac-
tice asserts that owing to his extreme
ly sensitive sense of smell, he can
foretell the coming OF death 4S hours.
He says that when patient comes
within two days OF death a peculiar
earthly smell is emitted from the body.
When the fatal disease is slow in its
progress the odor makes its appearance
as much as three days beforehand;
Eut when the disease is of the gal
Looping kind the doctor says he re-
ceives much shorter warning. He az
tributes the smell 10 modification
which begins within the body before
life is extinct. Dogs arc thought TO
have this sense. for hunting hounds
have been observed to begin a mourn
fu! baying day or two before their
masters died.

Memorial Exercises In
South Akron.
Some Of the Lessons Taught by
Memorial Day.

Memorial exercises in South Akron
were we'll attended. They were held
at 8 am, and splendid address was
delivered by Rev. Geo. p. Atwater, in
the yard of the Miller school. DR.. II.
j. Shatto was president of the day,
and music was furnished by the
Eighth Regiment band, and the ladies'
quartet of the First Disciple church.
In addition TO the other features of the
program, there were a number of re-
citations by the children. After the
exercises. the crowd marched to Mt.
Hope cemetery. where the graves of
soldiers were decorated.
Extracts from the address of Rev
Mr.. Atwater follow.
"The roll of the patriotic dead grows
longer. Each year the regiments that
are mustered beyond welcome some
comrades from earth. Each year a
battered corps of veterans. Scared by
war and scared by age, is mustered on

"But so long as our nation shall last
so long shall this day be sacred In our
eyes. Even when the last of our he
roes shall have joined the innumerable
host, the day shall be preserved and

homa ge to the might and valor of the
brave. The deeds that men do live
after them. and the men shall live in

Few Words From
the s. F. ChrOn=
iCle.

The Nevada State Journal takes
occasion to quote with approval
some recent editorials Of the Chron-
icle, in which we congratulated the
people OF Nevada on the passage OF
the irrigation bill which is destined
to do 80 much for their State. No
body familiar with the West will
dispute the statement that Nevada
contains large areas OF as fertile
land as can be found anywhere,
needing only the application of
water to make of it a garden. While
a good deal of land has been re-
claimed by irrigation the State is
unfortunate in being SO situated
that the main sources of its water
supplies lie outside its own bound
aries. In the uncertain state OF
our water laws private capital is
very chary of investment in reser-
voirs in one State whose waters
are to bn put to beneficial S in
some other State. Obviously,
neither Nevada itself nor any po-
litical subdivision can exercise
jurisdiction in California, and be-
sides, in this case, the necessary
outlay is beyond the means of the
State. The Nevada water problems
are mainly interstate problems
which Gun adequately be dealt with
only by national authority. The
irrigation bill was, therefore, of
the greatest value to that State.
As to the future, the State Jour-
nal says:
Nevada will from this time on
pursue lines of harmonious devel-
opment of all its interests, agricul-
ture, manufacturing, industrial and
commercial as we'll as mining, and
If San Francisco will aid us by its
influence in securing the early con-
struction of irrigation works which
will accomplish the utilization of
the food waters which fall on the
eastern slope of the Sierra and
rush through Nevada into great
lakes at the sink Of the desert
whore they serve nc useful purpose.
We assure her that no community
will receive SO large an indirect
benefit as San Francisco.
That is perfectly understood here.
Nevada cannot prosper without
adding to the prosperity of San
Francisco. Nothing which can be
done here to hasten the develop
ment of that State will knowingly
be omitted. Chronicle.

Some cowboys at Deeth treated the

they galloped up and down along

Then to mako it appear genuine
they had two dead men covered

Men with pistols stood guard over
them and threatened to kill any

Knights and their ladies scamper-
