A MENACE TO THE REPUBLIC.

Thomas w. Lawson in Everybody's
Magazine During the past 80 years the
American people have become so used
to enormous figures in connection with
corporations and trusts that they have
not stopped to discriminate between the
different classes of fortunes, nor figure
out that fortunes of certain kinds are
absolute self-evidence that they were ac-
quired by illegal methods. and if al
lowed to multiply their kind, the people
will surely be enslaved and the Repub-
lie destroyed. For instance, there are
in New York City alone hundreds of
National and Savings Banks and Insur-
ance and Trust Companies which con.
troll money enough to make them practi.
cally omnipotent in whatever direction
their controllers exert their power. /
will name but seven to show what enor.
for it must be borne in mind that they
are all linked together by the system"
as firmly and surely as any human
things can be linked. The Equitable,
Mutual and New York Life Insurance
Companies have a combined capital of
81, 200, 600, 900 of assets, a yearly income
of $3.50, 600. 900 and 81. 800. 0OO. 900 of in.
surance in force; the National City Bank,
United States Trust. Mercantile Trust
and Union Trust Companies $50. 0O0. 900
capital and $3.50, 900. 900 surplus. and
they have the vast sum of $45, 200, 900
of tho peoples money to juggle with.

ings were short.

LOVELOCK CREAMERY TO START.
Dairy Interests of Humboldt County
to Be DeyelOped.

After years of waiting the creamery
at Lovelock. Humboldt County, will
shortly begin to make butter. About
five years ago this creamery was
erected, machinery installed and every
thing placed in readiness for handling
the milk from about 1900 cows. But
for some reason or other was never put
into operation and all this time has lain
idle, although carefully preserved, and
now with a slight overhauling it is
ready for business.
In the vicinity of Lovelock are hun
dreds and hundreds of acres of the
finest alfalfa fields and many tons of
that kind of hay are raised and shipped
every year, while the farmers have been
sending to other places for their butter.
But now there is to be a change and
dairying will become one of the prin-
cipal industries of the vicinity. The
causes for the lack of interest in the
creamery in the past have been varied,
principally the high price paid for hay
and the difficulty of obtaining hands to
manage large dairying projects. r. j.
Saunders, an experienced creamery
man, will have charge of the enterprise.

JEFF'S ACTING KILLS COWBOY.

tanned at Carson Theater.

Elmer Purdy, a cowboy from Well
ington, New, ended a weeks debauch
in Carson on Tuesday night by drop
ping over in a fit of excitement at the
Carson Theater. He died an hour later.

the young mans death. Purdy was

NEW REPORT r
Eureka and Ruby Hill Schools Adopt
New System of Keeping Records.

eureka ana Ruby Hill Schools Adopt
New System of Keeping Records.
Principal @. w. Waits Of the Eureka
High School has introduced a new
system of keeping a daily record Of
work done by each pupil. This record
is kept by the use of a report card,
which the present principal has made
use OF for the past six years in OTHER
schools, and which is now almost uni.
versally adopted by the leading schools
Of the State. Principal A. L. Taylor
has introduced this same system in the
Ruby Hill School, and the SENTINEL
has printed the new report cards for the
two schools.
By use of this card the teacher can
keep a true daily account of each pupils
Rotations throughout the month. At
the end of each month the cards are
handed to the pupils, who take them
home to be submitted to the parents for
inspection. Thus. any parent who is
anxious about his child's welfare at
school can see at the end of each month
an exact statement Of every recitation
for the month. Every parent should
carefully examine these cards when
presented.
The monthly average of each pupil
will be recorded by the teachers (; and at
the end of the term, all pupils. whose
daily work throughout the school year
has been satisfactory, will be promoted
without the final examinations. Thus.
every pupil who does good daily work
for the term will be spared the dis
pleasure Of the last week of awful ex-
aminations. so trying, and again so apt
to prove a failure.
This plan Of marking has been
adopted by the City Board of San Fran
cisco. and also by the schools of Carson
City within the last month. 1t seems
to be a very fair and commendable plan,
and will undoubtedly prove its advan.
