YESTERDAY AT
THE CAPITAL
News Report Of Proceedings
of the Legislature of
This State

ouC short session yesterday. AFTER
the journal was read and approved
motion was made that that body
adjourn in honor of Abraham Lin
coin. In the Assembly, however, a
busy day was passed. q.
After the reading of the journal,
Cushing of Ormsby made a motion
that when the House adjourned it do
so out of respect to Abraham Lin
coin. A numbe rof bills were intro
duced, one by Littrell of Lander
county to encourage the destruction
and remoal of wild horses. This bill
was referred to the Committee on Ag-
riculture.
Averill of Esmeralda introduced a
bill to pay Gordon Stewart of Soda
vile for services rendered during the
epidemic of smallpox at that place.
Judd of White Pine introduced a
bill some days ago compelling all
peace officers to wear badges while
on duty. The bill came up yesterday
on third reading and final passage,
it brought forth considerable discus
sion from several members; Lathrop
of Esmeralda opposed the measure.
Upon roll call twenty-five voted in
the affirmative and one in the mega
tive, the latter being cast by Mr..
Lathrop, who then changed his vote
to the affirmative and gave notice
that he would today move for recon-
sideration of the measure.
A. B. No. 54, by Averill of Esmer-
aida came up on third reading and
final passage. The bill makes it a
misdemeanor for anyone to turn in
false alarm of fire and fixes a maxi
mum penalty of 800 for the same.
The bill was unanimously passed.
Wilson's bill prohibiting the sale Of
liquors to minors also came up for
third reading and final passage. This
is a worthy measure in that it provides
for a severe penalty for any one to sell
or give Intoxicating liquors to minors.
The original bill contained provis-
ion whereby a minor might obtain
liouor on a written order. Lothrop
OF Esmeralda moved to strike out this
nrovision and the motion was unan-
imously supported. Upon roll call the
bill received the unanimous vote OF
the House.

tees of District No. 10 to sell the old

for $50, 900 has been for some days IN
the hands of the Washoe County dele
cation.
That body referred the bill back to
the House with several amendments.
The amendments as offered by the
Washoe county delegation were to pro-
vide for a board of three tax payers
to be appointed by the District Judge
to authorize the sale Of the two school
properties.
Another amendment offered by the
Washoe county delegation was that
supervision architect should be hired
by the Board of School Trustees to
superintend the building of the new
school houses and oversee the work
during the time of its progression and
receive for the same salary not to
exceed / 1-2 per cent OF the estlmtaed
cost of the building.

Mrs. Alfred Oobson

died at her home in Mineral Point on
Saturday morning, December II.
Mary Uren was born in Redruth,
Cornwall, England, December p, 1881;
came with her parents to America,
settling in Mineral Point, in 1916.
Here she was married April 2, 1853, to
Alfred Dobson, and here their fifty
years of married life were spent, cele-
brating their golden wedding in April
last. Here their eleven children were
born-six sons, Thomas, Alfred, Nor
ris. Samuel, Joseph and Lawrence,
and five daughters, Mrs. Ray, Mrs,
Peters, Mrs. Terril, Mrs. Corson and
Mrs. Falter-the youngest of whom
Mrs. Falter) passed away nine years
ago, leaving ten sons and daughters
to mourn with their father the depart
ure of devoted wife and mother. All
of these were privileged to be with
their mother at some time during her
last sickness to look into her face and
hear her loving counsel. She was a
great sufferer for many months, but
she bore it all patiently, looking con-
tinnally to Him who hath said, II will
make all your bed in your sickness. "
Friday she said to those about her,
2" This is my last day on earth, +" and
SO it proved. Conscious to the last,
trusting in Jesus Christ the Savior,
she passed to her eternal home, where
she waits for her loved ones. The
funeral was held from the residence on
at 2:30 p. m.

Joined Eternity's Circle.

The death of Mrs. Ed J. Engels,
which seems most untimely, occurred
last Sunday evening, Dec. 18th, about
10 o'clock; aged 43 years. Deceased
had been in failing health for several
months, but bore her sutferings un-
complainingly and with true chris
tian fortitude. Mrs. Engel's life was
spent in our midst, with but slight
exception, and is marked only by
the genial girl, the faithful wife, the
loving mother, virtues which repre-
sent the golden link of the home
circle. And this is broken, letting in
Il flood of affliction such as devoted
husband and loving children five
in all) find difficult to endure. The
funeral, which took place yesterday
morning, was largely attended by
sympathetic neighbors and friends.

Some of the demands which are made
by the missionaries in. China are not
only unchristian, but apparently alb
surd. Why should an official be
slaughtered to avenge the death of a
native pastor or the burning of a

murderer and an incendiary? If the
Chinese government had any backbone
it would insist that China be free to
administer justice as it is administered
by the western nations. If the mis-
sionariss didn't approve Of that method
Of enforcing the law they could leave

What other woman ever enjoyed for

full stories are told of the way singers
of old preserved their powers. Fari-

fifth Philip of Spain by singing the
same songs to him every night for ten
years, kept his voice unimpaired in
spite of this ordeal until he was nearly

sunset of life, and Marietta A1boni's
voice retained its power and sweetness
long after she had retired from the
stage. In our own time. Sims Reeves
and Heinrich Vogl have been striking
instances of vocal longevity. But
Adelina Patti remains the marvel of
her century Twenty years are ac-
counted nowadays a long career for a
woman singer. Yet she has held her
undisputed supremacy for more than
fifty. The prima 1onna's later visits

Another thing which, surprised our
English visitors, says a New York
writer in speaking Of the visit of the
Mosely educational committee to this
country, was the notable patriotism of
our boys, The mayor of Nottingham
tested this on one our own classes, by
asking them to write on slips of paper
the four countries they thought the
greatest and be ready to give their
reason for their belief. OF course
every boy put America first, and when
the mayor asked one of them why not
England?" he was Informed that Eng
land was near the close Of her career,
while America had still boundless pos
sibilities for development. This was
but one of many expressions of patri-
otto feeling that they had encountered
among the boys of New York, Wash
ington and Philadelphia. There are no

Bank clearings for several weeks
have been showing declines of 10. to 20
per cent compared with last year, the
heaviest shEinkage, of course, being in
the eastern financial centers, while the
western cities still continue to show
gains over last year, says Banker
Henry Clews. A conservative policy
seems general in business circles. The
sharp declines in iron products attract
attention, and at first exert a deter
rent effect Eventually, however, or
AS soon as it is evident that more set
tied conditions have been reached, a
new run of orders will be received, for
1T is well understood that much con-
tract work has been held up by high
prices. At the lower level manufac-
turefs' profits are being reduced to a
minimum, and labor will sooner or
later be obliged to recognize the
changed situation and allow conces-
s1ons. AT the lower level, to which we
are now coming, more stable If less
profitable conditions will be reached,
and work will be found for all if rea-
son rules. The inevitable shrinkage of
boom profits will, of course, affect the
industrials adversely. Fortunately.
these are held by the public, as a rule,
to only limited extent, and the re-
organizations or readjustments which
must come in due course of time will
fall heaviest upon their progenitors.
