wNNEMUCcA NEVADA, MONDAY EVENING. OCTOBER S, 1908
GIVE A
BIG DANCE
PiuteS of Central Nevada Will
Celebrate in WinnemuCCa
October Is to II

The tomtoms will sound and the
dusky forms dance in the light OF the
big camp fire again in Winnemucca
this fall, and the picturesque amuse-
ments of the aboriginal inhabitants
of the valley will be portrayed in y
manner that vii vividly recall to the
pioneers the days when the dancing of
the Piutes oft-times carried with 1t a
feeling of danger and the few and
scattered settlers were glad to know it
was over, instead of looking forward
to 1t as an amusement worth going
miles to see.
Captain Bill Toy, who lives near
Battle Mountain and to whom all the
Piute Indians of Central Nevada are
subject, he being their chief, paid a
visit to his constituents in Winnemuc-
ca Friday and Saturday of last week,
holding several wah-wahs with the
prominent men of the tribe here in
regard to a fall festival. He advised
them to get up dance, and while they
were at ii to make it a daisy. Find
ing the sentiment OF the local Indians
heartily in favor of the plan, ne de-
putized Golconda Jim to represent him
and instructed Jim to proceed with
the arrangements. Indian Howard,
or as he is sometimes known, Howard
Miller, who lives here, was appointed
assistant, and will put forth every ef-
fort in his power to make the fete a
success.
1t was decided to begin the festiy-
tiles on the night of Friday, the 10th
of this month. The dances will be
held where they were last fall, and
will continue for five rays, at the high
point southeast OF the county hospital.
During the five days a camp composed
of all the local Piutes and their visit
ing tribesmen from all over the cen
tral portion of the state will be main
tained. The time will be given over to
visiting and reminiscent recollections.
and the handing down to the younger
Indians the tribal legends and history.
while the dances will all be held at
night.
Howard states that the number Of
Indians who" will attend depends
largely on the advertisement given the
fete, but that several hundred can be
counted upon from outside. To still
further advertise it, he requests that
all readers OF the Silver State who
have Indian servants to tell them OF
the dance, and instruct them to send
word to all their relatives and friends.

RENOITES IN WlNNEMUCCA
Mayor Turritin and NJ. SChee-
line Are Here Today

Hon. Geo. F. Turritin, mayor or
Reno, and M. Scheeline. a director OF
the Bank of Nevada. arrived in the
city yesterday on No. 6, and are trans
acting business here oday. They will
return home on No. this evening.
The gentlemen honored the Silver
State with a call this morning, and
said some very pleasant and compli-
mentary things in regard to the paper.
During the conversation the subject
of the assessment of railroad lands
came up and Mr.. Turritin expressed
his opinion in these words:
81 am pretty familiar with the char
acter of the railroad lands in Humboldt
county, and also those in the couties
with which your lands have been COM
pared, and / believe that when the
proper authorities go to look into the
matter and the conditions are known,
the valuation for assessment purposes
placed upon these lands by Assessor
Guthrie will be upheld without word
of dissension.
Some people protest against paying
more taxes on the land they have
bought from the railroad company than
the company pays on the land it still
owns. 1t should be remembered that
these individual purchasers have taken
the cream OF the land, the very best
OF it, and the most valuable. Firth
ermore, from the time they get the
land and begin to improve it, its value
increases. and in many cases it begins
to earn interest on the investment,
while the railroads lands remain the
same in actual value. or by reason
of being culled. they decrease.
1T seems to me Mr.. Guthrie has been
very just and equitable in his assess
ment, and l believe it will stand"

A KIND OF
VGILANTS
A Protective Committee of
Citizens Was Formed Last
Week in TOnOpah

The Tonopah Bonanza says II Is
doubtful IL anywhere in the United
States a more representative body OF
men could gather than that which as
sembled at the opera house last Mon
day night for the purpose Of organiz-
ing a citizens association for Tono-
pah. The movement has been in con-
temptation for some time and for the
circulating around affixing the names
of the leading citizens of the district
to a petition which formed the call
for the meeting. About 300 persons
signed the call. but it is believed that
before the organization is thoroughly
completed at least 200 more names will
be enrolled, thus making the asso-
citation a powerful factor in the carry
ing out OF the purposes for which 1t
is formed. +
The mteting was called to order by
Capt. J. F. Bradley, who stated, in a
brief talk, the needs for such an as
soeiation in Tonopah; it was not
needed to supplant or direct county
government, but to assist It, and il
conducted properly would be of un-
told benefit to the town.
The committee who had in hand
the drafting of the bylaws. which
were intended to govern the conduct
of the association, submitted a set
as prepared by them, with the sug-
gestion that If the assemblage desired
any changes made in the articles, to
not hesitate in offering them, but
they were accepted as a whole and
adopted without a dissenting vote.
The objects of the organization is set
forth in the bylaws as follows:
This association shall be known as
THE Citizens Association of Tonopah.
Nevada This association is hereby
declared to be non-sectarian and nom
partisan, and the purposes for which
II is formed are, to inquire into, con-
slider and carry out to the extent OF
its ability all matters that are right
and proper, for the welfare, benefit,
peace and safety of the people, resi-
dents, property holders and property
of Tonopah, Nevada.

The Twentieth Century has given Vi

restores the body to its normal vigor Il
curative. When you are in a condition
of lassitude, pale, weak, nervous and no
appetite, you are inviting all the germs

DR.. Parker's Tonetic Tablets are the
latest production of medical science, the
greatest restorative medicine known.
They will build up your body and give
you appetite and good digestion to

up your inside nerves, which give vigor
to all the vital organs; that means en-

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED,
From the sentinel, Gebo, Mon..l

FROM the Sentincl, ueoo, "ohsI
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after fort
une who made the big race one fine day
in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad water,
which, together with the severe heat,
gave him a very severe diarrh1a which
it seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became SO
bad he expected to die. One day one OF
his neighbors brought him one small
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera,
and Diarrhea Remedy as last hope. A
big dose was given. him while he was
rolling about on the ground in great
agony, and in few minutes the dose
was repeated. The good effect of the
medicine was soon noticed and within an
hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for fortnight. That one
little bottle worked complete cure, and
he cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel disorders being at hand
suggests this item. For sale by Shurt

the afternoon when reaching the village
and satisfied with sightseeing for one
day, found the residence of my cousin
L. NJ. Alley, and there put up for the
night.
The next morning started out to 'dO''
the village in general and the neighbor-
hood In particular, which was my tenn
porary home so long ago. Calling at
the house where I worked 1 found it

years and living entirely alone. Intro

also the date, July 4, 1852" That was
all true and established my identity.
Looking the farm and buildings over,
and observing several changes, I
started back with a view of learning
III" mduy peTSOHS were SClll living IN
the neighborhood, if any, whom I knew
so long ago. Only one could be found,
an old man by the name of Virgil Gam
mon, now we'll along in the eighties and
nearly helpless. He remembered me
well on hearing my name, and pleasant
interview of an hour, talking over old
times, was the result.
Coming back to the village and travel
ing in different directions l found practi-
cally nothing that looked natural. New
streets, churches, factories and dwelling
houses had been built, so that now it
almost assumes the dignity of a small
city. OF course, there was not a name
on store nor Office that looked familiar
and it is only necessary to visit the
cemetery to learn the destiny of the per-
sons who bore those names at that time.
Having failed to find but one man in
.own that once knew, and who remem-
oered me, l bade it adieu, probably for
aver, and started for home feeling like
stranger in strange land"
