POPULATION
Murders and Suicides are Of
Daily Occurrence
in Reno.

The body Of man with hands and
feet tied and with head smashed in
was found Wednesday in an irrigating
oltch north Of Reno and few hours
after the body Of young and we'll
dressed squaW was found in the same
ditch, while w. C. Flildebrandt, re-
cent arriual in the town. was found
with bullet hole through his head.
Inc squaw and Hildebrandt probably
suicided and the other man was un-
doubtedly murdered.
Then H. C. Donald was found dead
in his room at the Overland hotel hav-
ing ended his life with cyanide of po
tossium
Sheriff Hayes says: There is
possibility that amounts almost to a
probability that the man found dead in
the SullivanKely ditch yesterday
may have been killed by the Plute In
dams living within hundred yards of
the spot where the bocy was discov-
cred, and the cause may have been
that the murdered man was interter-
ing with the Piute mahalas. As is
well known. the Indians will always re-
sent any such interference with their
women and will not hesitate to strike q
white man who refuses to desist."

ROUNDHOUSE
AND SHOPS
Description Of Work on Big
Buildings at Site East
of Reno.

Renoites have gotten into the habit
Of speaking glbly Of East Reno and Of
the work now being done there and
planned for the future. but it is. prob
able that not one in a dozen Of our
people fully realize the magnitude Of
the work. Such realization can on
ly ccme from visit to the scene.
Yesterday a journal representative
visited Reao's suburb and found II the
scene Of an activity that can hardly. be
comprehcnded. Within space of
more than forty acres. in the neigh
borhood Of 800 men are at work.
Swarms Of men appear on every hand,
but so systemized is the work that
there is no confusion.
Th6 walls Of the sToat roundhouso,
with a circumference of about four
teen hundred feet, resembles a huge
ampitheatre. AS laid out 1t originally
provided stall room for forty engines.
A drop pit for removing the running
gear Of disabled locomotives reduces
ihs number to thirty-nine. Provision
is made. however. for increasing the
capacity to fifty engines. should it
-be found necessary. by completing the
circle. portion of which will for the
present hes left uncompleted. The
The building will be intersected with
FIRE wall partitions at regular intervals.
Nhe entrance to the roundhouse will
be on the south side. where 'hc engines
will be run upon hugs ,uah table in
ths center. A track will lead TO the
machine shops. which will be located
short distance 70 the southeast.
The machine and repair ssbops will
be 440 feet long by so in width The
foundations OF this structure, as also
that Of the rcundhouse. are all laid in
concrete and are practically finished
and brick work will commence in
lew days. To the east Of the shops
and directly in from; will be located
the great transfer table. 400 feet in
length, upon which the cars to be re-
paired will be conveyed 10 the various
department This table will be one Of
lhs largest Of any yard in the country.
Such is the magnitude of the work
thai notwithstanding the myriad Of
men, it will be we'll toward spring Of
next year before any consi ierable por-
ton Of the new yards can be put into
commission. The company few
~eeks ago endeavored to. make these
yards terminal. but we're compelled
to give up the attempt from a lack OF

The perpetrators of restaurants and
their walters do not seem to be able
to agree in San Francisco. AS a
consequence, the closing Of many of
the leading eating places in the city
by the Golden Gate has caused many
man to wonder where he will get
his next meal. Such is not the case
in Tonopah, where proprietors, chefs
and walters will cooperate at the
Palace Cafe to serve Christmas
dinner which will make man forget
that he is in the midst of the desert.

ADVISES READERS To
HOLD TONOPAu STOCKS
Leading Mining Paper Expresses
Great Faith Ia Tonopah.

Great Faith In Tonopah.
That the outside world shares the
optimism Of those Ia Tonopah con.
versaut with the real situation, is
shown by innumerable newspaper
articles upon the construction OF the
railroad and the recent rise in the
price OF stocks. Under the title !
Don't Sacrifice Your Stocks. the |
current number Of the Mining and
Engineering Review makes some in.
teresting editorial comment upon the
camp. The article in part follows:
Readers Of the Mining and En-
cheering Review will remember that
during the depression in Tonopah
stocks, the owners OF stocks in the big
mining companies we're advised to
hold them. The advice was based
on values in sight at the mines and
the undoubted permanency OF the
lodges. Stocks were sold on the Ex-
change in San Francisco at I'll and
under that were and are worth
from S. to $40 per share. We have
been more conservative than other
wise in our estimate of mining shares
and always advise holders of stock
to take profits when in sight, but
there is no need of sacrificing shares
of a mining company which has al
ready uncovered ore enough from
which to pay dividends for an average
lifetime.
Last week Montana Tonopah stock,
responding to a declared dividend,
Jumped to $3.50, but that is not the
value OF that stock and those who
sold at that figure may live to repent.
The dividend is the first declared by
the company, but it will not be the
last by any means, nor was 1t the
only dividend declared in the camp.
Another company declared a divi-
dend OF $40, 900 the same week. The
dividends are but commencing and
we again say, hold your stocks. The
excitement consequent to the great
discoveries on the Comstock will be
repeated perhaps, and in all prob
ability in lesser degree, but surely,
and those who keep their stocks
locked up for while will reap the
reward Of their courage and good
judgment.
1t should be borne in mind that we
refer to the mines in ore in the Tono-
pah camp. There are some promis-
ing properties and some very valuable
ones in the outlying districts which
will also repay investigation and in
vestment.
Mining shares should be regarded
in the light OF greenbacks, The
better the guarantees behind them
the more valuable are either.

The city council OF lIairmont will pass
an ordinance prohibiting splitting in the
trolley ears. Action was taken at the
last session OF that body and the city
solicitor was instructed to draft an or.
dinance covering that olTcnse. The mat.
ter was originally agitatcd by the local
patrons Of the Fairmont & Clarksburg
Traction company, and more especially
the women. Like complaints have been
made in Clarksburg, and, as was The
case in Fairmont, the women cmphati.
cally protest against this filthy nuisance.
1t is very disagrceable indeed for a wos
man to enter street car, the aisle floor
of which is reelting and running with
vile tobacco expectorations and soil Il
costly dress. The person who commits
such an otiense should be punished for it.
The fact that there is punishment for
it will undoubtedly mitigate the nui.
sance. The city council should pass such
an ordinance as the one up before the
city council of Fairmont. And while the
council is about it, it would do well to
make the law a little broader, and fix II
penalty for splitting on the sidewalks
also.

NEW METHOD IN MUSIC.
Anyone Can Lean to Play the Piano by
Following Series Of Object Lessons in
The Pittsburg Sunday Dispatch.

BY the introduction of an entirely new
method in the instruction of music. The
Pittsburg Sunday Dispatch is giving its
readers piano lessons free each week.
The idea is so simple that anyone can
learn to play the piano. The method IN
volyed is that Of the Kindergarten work
the object lesson--and while this simple
iies the art OF music so that even chill.
dren can understand it thoroughly, yet
the system j. worked out in such cor.
rect and scientific manner that the most
learned and experienced musicians and
teachers who have examined this new
system have endorsed it. Even that en-.
incnt pianist, Josef Hoffman,, recon.
mends it to those who desire to get a
fundamental knowledge of music and
theory. The course will be in u lessons,
and there is no expense attached to the
study, but subscription to the Sunday
Dispatch for u weeks. Order at once,
50 that none of the lessons will be
missed.

Virginia university has on in their be-

after many years devoted to this line OF

way in acquiring that proficiency 1t
would be far better for a young farmer
TO know when he begins, the best way
and not to have to wait for years until
he has acquired it. Science is worth
much to him. Theory is a good thing.

winter school Of agriculture at the uni
versity meets all these conditions. The
farmer who attends these lectures will
be given not only the science of many
branches OF farming, but he will also
witness many demonstrations and will
engage in researches which will bring
theory down to actual practice, thus edu,

effort is devoted TO. This school will be-

sIoT-MAcHlNE QUESTION IS MISTY

really means in its recent decision Con.
trary to all reasonable expectations. The
court is the subject OF construction in.
stead Of its being the body that does
the constituting. One day comes the word
that slot machines are not prohibited BY
the state law; the next day comes die
information that they may be, as shown
by the following telegram from the seat
OF state government and the present
place OF deliberations of the court. pub.
lishcd in the Wheeling Intelligcnccr:
"lhc supreme court decision has not
to do with the state laws. Ii affects only
cities, towns and villages, whose charters
do not give council the authority to pass
ordinances against gaming and gaming
devices. This decision is in accord with
that OF Judy against Lashley, reported
in the tiftieth West Virginia, where
Judge Poifenbarger held that the 20.
lice power of municipal corporation
depends upon the will Of The legislature.
and city, town or village can only ex.
crcise such police power as is fairly in
cluded in the grant of powers by its
charter.
"That, and the slot machine decision.
both hold that the general law giving
cities, towns and villages power to pro.
tect persons and property, does not con
fer power to punish acts made criminal
by state laws and fully covered thereby.

Gus exception has been made in their
case While they have special bar
racks fitted up for them in Constan-
tinople, they are permitted in times OF
peace to remain in their own noun
tains, where they are authorized to

Of bringing into bold relief the worst
elements in the Kurdish character.
While the Kurds are Moslems in re-
ligion, and largely under the influence
of dervishes, no sense of religious duty
or patriotism animates them in their
guerilla warfare.
They go forth to battle simply as To-
Gusts to devour the spoil. OF this fact
the Turkish Government is thoroughly
cognizant, and when the Government,
at its own expense, armed and trans

their very presence gave the lie to the
