Reno, Nevada, Dec. 3, 1903.
We could not attempt to recount all
the cases that have been healed and
otherwise benefited by the mysterious
and almost miraculous powers of Ismar.
Thus these startling events crowd one
another-events that come to pass lust
as Ismar, the woman Of mystery, de-
lineates.
The great gifts of Ismar are not con-
lined TO prophecy alone, but she is a
master of the art of locating and curing
diseases also. Some of the cures she has
performed are almost miraculous.

career; 10 the man with interests in
stocks and bonds; to the professional
man, the lawyer or the physician; to the
miner. the prospector or the owner of
mines; TO the woman whose heart has
been torn and is sore; to those afflicted
or In trouble; to those who doubt or
nave questions TO ask of the unknown.

CITY NEGLECTs STREETS.

This city has grossly neglected its
accepted streets for more than a third
Of a century. The accumulated neg
lect and deficiency amounts to more
than $1,021 ,000, and the recent authori-
zationSof a bond issue for this amount
and interest to repair accepted streets
is intended as a partial atonement and
remedy. The ill-advised dollar limit
is in part the cause of this neglect, for
the rigid and impossible obligations of
the charter are met with the niggardly
denial of the means to carry out its
requirements. We are therefore called
upon to pay for 81, ,621, 900 worth Of work
and then $1,163,067 so Of interest on the

The forces and materials possibly
available in this city are capable of

Of work per year and a charter amend
ment permitting the raising of this
amount each year for ten years for
the specific purpose of repairing and
repaving accepted streets would do this
work as fast as it can economically be
done, would carry out the sound busi-
ness principle, pay as you CO. and
would give $500, 900 worth of work in
stead of paying principal and interest,
$2,7S4,067 so, for only $1,621, 900 worth of
work.

CITY CHARTER AMENDMENTS
Omees of City Attorney and Building
Inspector Are Made
Elective.

City Comptroller westbers was the only
ofhcer at the city hall yesterday who
seemed 10 be familiar with the charter
amendments passed by the senate yester-
day and now before the governor for sigma
ture. Mr.. Westberg gave his understanding
Of what ne considered the important
changes. He said: The city election is
changed from the first Tuesday in March to
the FIRST Tuesday in May and the ofices OF
city attorney and city building inspector
are made elective instead Of appointive by
the mayor. The city attorney is given the
right to appoint his assistant instead OF
having the mayor do II, as at present.
1T is arranged so that the council. at any
time after the spring election, may change
the ward boundaries 80 as to make not
more than thirteen wards nor less than
nine. One oficial newspaper is to be used
hereafter, to be selected by the lowest bid,
instead OF two at the option of the mayor
and council as heretofore. All claims are
to be filed directly with the city comptroller
Instead OF with the city clerk; all bonds of
city officers are to be paid for by the city
out of the general fund.
The following changes are made in SAL
aries: Comptroller, from 81. 800 to 50. 900;
city clerk, from 81, 800 to 50, 900; city prose-
cutor, from $500 to 81. 200; tax commissioner,
rom $2,bOO to $4,000; building inspector,
from $500 to 1880; chief Of police, from
$4,000 to $4,000: chief Of fire department,
from $4,000 to $500.
The manner Of paying hremen and
policemen is changed and the remunera-
tlon increased. The limitation Of 1000
az expenses for clerical help in the comp
t%roller's office is removed and no limit
placed. Defects in creating improvement
districts and in the manner Of making
street improvements are corrected. The
limit of the fire fund is increased to $780,
900. the library fund to s22, 900 and the
minimum Of the park fund is made $40, 900
and the maximum sac, 000.'
Mayor Moores said that he lie as we'll sat-
isfed. personally, to have the building in
spector and city attorney elective as ap-
p%ointive. City Attorney Connell said: II
have not yet read the charter amendments
and am not anxious, because no doubt there
will be legal departures and incongruitieF
that will require Strengthening out"
