A Vigorous Protest Against Failure of

At a meeting Of the citizens of
Wadsworth held this day the following
resolution was adopted
WHEREAS, 1t is a notorious fact that
at least seven known cases of small
pox now prevail at Reno and the disease
is daily increasing, and
WHEREAS. Owing to the fac. that
several thousand transient men engag-
ed in railroad construction are hourly
entering and departing from said town
and arriving and departing from sister
towns, thereby facilitating the spread
of said disease and threatening to raw
age all said communities. placing in
danger the health, lives and general
welfare OF the people, therefore be it
Resolted' That we call upon His
Excellency, Reinhold Sadler, Cover
nor Of Nevada, to demand that the
Hon. State Board Of Health enforce
the law regarding epidemic and con-
tagious diseases by quatantining said
town Of Reno.

hearty cooperation of the people but
we fear they do not appreciate his eff

because they are SO slow at Reno to
organize State Board Of Trade. He
is flooded with inquiries from all over
the country and could accomplish
much NOR than he does if he had the
assistance of an organized body like a
Board of Trade. Nevada is woefully
lacking in acts that promote business

MY LADY,.
Here's a maid of colonial cast,

Here's maid of colonial cast,
With a short WASTED gown and some
curis
Wee slippers, high heeled narrow last;
Demurest aed sliest of girls,
And now she a-marketing trips,
And now she the minuet dances;
Her name must be right on your lips
Fair Peggy of courtly romances!
Here's a maid in trim tailor suit
Or raglan and pockets l wis,
With stout. common sense little boot
dashing, unfettered young miss.
She's off in her automobile,
To run it she's perfectly able.
(Shes the same who once perched on q
wheel)
Her name-you have guessed it's Ma
bel.
Here's maid in an artless array
OF dimity-gingham-et Get,
Who leases and mocks night and day,
A fluffy and kittenish pet.
Perhaps, with arms barred, dmply nice,
She ensconced in the kitchen-'tis Dolly!
But If she is strong in advice
And piquant and learned It's Polly!
Here's the maid who most often Is sung,
Whose graces we ever recall
Who moves like vision among
The Peggys and Mabels and all.
No matter how varied the guise
The words of the poet may bring her,
Unchanged she remains in the eyes
And heart of her lover and singer.

SAME OLD STORY.
Somerset County Dutchman Smindled
Ont of $3.50 by Circus Sharp.

CoNNELLsyILLE, July 19.-John
Gohp, a Somerset county farmer, was
goldbricked out of $3.50 yesterday by
two followers Of Buckskjn Bills Wild
West show. One of them interested
Gohn in coal, pretending that he
wanted to make some investments in
Somerset county, later drifting to the
subject of electric belts. He made
Gohn, a proposition to take so many
of them for stipulated figure each,
Gohn to be the general agent in Som
erset county.
Gohn thought the proposition a
good one, and went to Stoyest0wn,
where he drew ont $3.50, which was
the amount the stranger asked him
to place in the hands of former Judge
Barker of Cambridge county. The
stranger and Gohn went to Johnstown
and the latter was introduced to a
man who represented himself as Judge
Barker. Gohn was to receive 81, 900
as soon as his agents disposed of the
belts, which were to be shipped him.
The stranger also put $3.50 with the
supposed Judge Barker as a guarantee
OF good faith Then they excused
themselves for minute and left
COIN waiting for the electric belts.
