MAN IN THE CAbQOSE
JACK RUMsEY'S SEORHT FOR
SECURING SLEEPY
A Missouri Pacific Railroad Conductor
Tells How He Preyents( the
Wreck of His Nerves.I

A great deal of fatigue and anxiety is
housed up in the little red box that
swings at the tail end of EVERY freight
train and shares i'll every jolk Of the
string of heavy cars that precedles 1T Oh
the rails. The men in it are goodA hearty
fellows who bear ch~eerfully the hazards
connected with the great probleap OF
transportation. They are astir night
and day on a vast network OF lines and
the sympathies of tens of thousands of
peaceful little homes go with them on
their runs. The great public must have
its supplies and these are the meE who
must get them through at the cost even
of their lives.
Mr.. Jack Rumsey, of Council Grove,
Kansas, is an energetic, frank, good
natured member of this brotherhood and
he bears a load of worries that makes it
necessary for him to seek help to keep
his excited nerves from wearing him out.
He says:
What troubled me most was my in
ability to get sleep when the chance came
md a most irritating sensitiveness of my
whole nervous system, growing out of
the irregularities and anxieties con-
nected with my daily work. Three or four
years ago a clerk i'll the superintendent
office of the Missouri Pacific, at Osawa-
tonne, advised me to use DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. 1 acted on
his advice and got help right away. Sol
keep them on hand all the time and
whenever the strain begins to tell on
me / take a few doses. They quiet
down my excited nerves and make it
possible for me to sleep just like a child.
They are mighty good medicine for a
railroad man. That is the absolute truth,
as far as my experience goes, and / am
right glad to recommend them"
DIR. WILLIAMSBURG Pills for Pale People
are unlike other medicines because they
act directly on the blood and nerves.
They are a positive cure for all diseases
arising from impoverished blood or
shattered nerves. They are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent postpaid on re-
ceipt of price, fifty cents a box, or six
boxes for two dollars and fifty cents, by

Tnr BEST TEACHERS WANTED.

The Argus of Alameda, California says:
The prejudice against employing fe-
male teachers who are married is not
easy to explain. 1t may be argued that
married women ought to be supported
bv their husbands and not at the expense
of the community. This is measurably
true. but those who make this plea vir-
tually admit the worst charges that
have been made against the managers
of the public schools in the United
States. They have often been accused
of disposing of places under their control
for the benefit of the teachers rather
than the good of the schools. The edu-
cation of the young is a matter of such
importancethat the best teachers obtain
able should be employed, and it ought
not to make any difference whether a
a teacher is rich or poor. married or
single, Republican or Democrat. Meth
odist or Catholic, born in the town or
imported from another State.

pose DIR. Hood Of Elko went to Toana
Wednesday night. This move of the
defense was met by Acting District
Attorney Williams engaging DIR. Eby to

sheepmen Of Lassen County, California,
and Of this State. James Talbot, one
Of the largest sheepowners in this sec.

square miles of the choicest pasture
lands in Lassen County, and intends
fencing the same. Cattlemen are pro-
testing because they may be deprived Of

is upheld by the sheepmen, while the
cattlemen are indignant over what they
characterize a wholesale stealing of the
public lands. Both sides are deter.
mined, and in the event either attempts
to force its claims, trouble will result.

FATAL AFFRAY OVER SHEEP.
william Norton Killed by Chauneey
Grisw0ld in Ruby Valley.

Last Monday afternoon about 8 o'clock
Chauncey Griswold shot and instantly
killed William Norton Of Toano, at a
place called Jasper in Ruby Valley,
Elko County. The particulars of the
affair as sent from Toano to the Salt
Lake Herald are as follows:
Griswold owns some land about
twenty miles south of Toano, Elko
County, and is running a herd Of sheep
there. The Norton brothers have a lot
of Government land leased in the same
locality, on which they have sheep.
Griswold rode up to where Norton was
herding sheep and asked him if he had
seen any stray sheep. Norton told him
where his sheep were, and asked him to
stay over night with him. Griswold
accused Norton of having his sheep on
Griswold's land, and Norton denied the
charge. Griswold claims Norton called
him a liar and pulled a gun on him, and
that to protect himself he got on the
opposite side of his horse, took his rifle
from his saddle, shot under the horse
and killed Norton.
A Japanese herder was the only wit
ness to, the murder, and he claims
Norton did not pull any gun, or make
any attempt to do so.
Norton leaves a wife. a mother and
brother, who are Frustrated over the
tragedy. His remains were taken to
Toano on Tuesday, where an inquest
was held Wednesday morning.
The verdict of the jury vas that the
deceased was a native of Elko, Nevada,
aged 33 years, 10 months, A days, and
that he came to his death from a gun
shot wound inflicted by Chauncey Girls
void.
On his return to Elko Wednesday
afternoon from attending the inquest
on the remains Of William Norton, Act
ing District Attorney Otto Williams
swore to a complaint before Justice Nor
gan charging Chauncey Griswold with
the crime of murder. The defendant
was taken before Justice Morgan and
admitted to bail in the sum of 5000 to
appear for examination Saturday. Isaac
and A. M. Griswold, brothers of the
defendant, signed the bond and he was
released from custody. Griswold has
a wife and three children and lives in
Lamoille Valley.

Important Letter Regarding Them.
State Superintendent Of Public In
struction Orvis Ring has addressed a
circular letter to the County Superin-
tendents, School Trustees, and Census
Marshals of Nevada, calling attention
to the laws governing the taking of the
School Census of the different School
Districts of the State. and the making
of the reports of the same to the proper
officers. The opening paragraph of the
letter is as follows:
'"The County Superintendent is re-
quired to compare the census reports
submitted to him by the Census Mar
shals, and to strike from them the re-
turns concerning any child which to the
best of his knowledge aud belief is resi-
dent in any other district in the county
than that for which it is returned /; pro-
vided, that such child is returned by
the Marshal of the district in which
such child is actually residing. He shall
also strike from the census report the
name of any child not resident in the
county, but shall in all cases make in
quiry sufficient to confirm him in his
action before he strikes out any name.
He shall alter the statistical reports now
required to eliminate the statistics Of
any child whose name shall be stricken
from any list submitted to him, but in
no case shall he add names or statistics
to any report"
The duties of the Census Marshals
are enumerated in the letter, together
with certain sections of the law relating
to them, including the penalty clause
applying to Marshals who make false
census returns, or fail in their duty as
required by law.
The timely step taken by the State
Superintendent should make the School
Census returns for 1904 more equitable
throughout the State than they have
been judged to be the past few years.
