We Need This
Business.

The Times, published at Yerington,
says; 1t Is an assured fact now that
Bodie freight is to be hauled from
Wabuska in the very near future
The Nevada and California r. r. Co..
is now receiving large amount of
lumber and timber for the con
struction of large freight house
W. IL. Slingerland, of Yerington, is
now fitting up two 10-animal teams
to put on this route. and in all prob.
ability they will be landing freight in
Bodie before the first of Janary next
As soon as the freight begins to ar
rive at Wabuska the teams now
freighting over the Carson Bodie
route will more than likely come this
way; if not, other teams will do the
business.
1t is unnecessary for US to enumer-
atiyely reiterate the advantages this
valley will derive from this line; every
resident will see it and feel it in a
business way in the next six months.
We publish the above article with
the view of establishing, in the minds
of our business men and farmers, the
vast Importance of immediate action
on the freight problem which is of
vital significance at this time. How
plain it is to see the concentrated ef-
forts that are being made to chang the
present freight route, thus taking
thousands and thousands of dollars of
trade to other sections, that is now
being spent in this Valley, not only
with our merchants, but with farmers
While others are struggling to these
ends, we are peacefully slumbering,
as silent spectators, not even making
the slightest attempt to hold this
trade.
During the past summer over 800
head OF stock was engaged in hauling
freight and farm produce from this
Valley to the southern country. Tn
usual activity will be exnerienced in
Mono county within a few months,
and then the southern business will
be more than doubled.
The time to act in this matter is
NOW, not next Summer or next
Spring, but NOW. We are informed
by the County commissioners that
petition is necessary to close the road
through Hoye canyon and construct
the new road that will assure Bodie
freight coming this way in the future
as it has in the past.
Let one of the business men cireu-
late petition, praying the Commits
sioners to open the new road and close
that portion in Hoye canyon that has
gained the name of ttraii' No diff
ficulty will be experienced III obtain
ing the required number of signers.
Get the document in readiness to lay
before the Board at their next meet
ing which occurs December Is. Then
start the work of building the road,
thus shutting out the competition
and retaining the Southern trade.

Reno Infested With FleaS

Reno is becoming infested with
floas, driven into the city from the

sertion from a Reno physician that

he suggests the application of olive
oil.

COUNTY HOMES.
some Pay No Attention to New Law
 as to Neglected Children.

An act passed by the last General Assembly requires that when pe- tition is filed in any court to commit child to a temporary home notice be given to the county commissioners of the hearing. This act was approv- ed June 29 and took effect from its passage, but a county commissioner said yesterday that it was evident that some of the courts had no know ledge of the existence of the law, as while some were observing it others were not

BACK FROM ST. LAWRENCE
Warden Carvin and Prison Dirsctos
 Fuller Have Returned.

Warden Garvin of the state prison and Edward A. Fuller, prison di- rector, who have been on weeks trip up the St Lawrence, returned Tuesday night and report having had fine time. During the trip they were entertained one day by Warden Platt of the Provincial Penitientiary at Kingston, and they went over the buildings and grounds with a great deal of interest. The penitentiary has about the same number of pris- Oners as the Connecticut institution, but has the advantage of the prison in the possession of large farm where crops are raised and a consid- erable expense saved in this way.
 They work their prisoners along various industrial lines and have a large quarry that is worked to ad- vantage The institution. however, has not yet attained to a self-support- ing basis. Warden Garvin and Difac- tor Fuller believe the buildings and general resources at Wethersfield are far ahead of those at Kingston.

ON nIDDLEBURY ROAD.
John haGgerty Choksd Into Inssnsi-
 billy and Thrown Into Bushss.

The Middlebury road is fast becom- ing quite resort for footpads and if the authorities will not soon take steps to have so much of 1t as is in the city of. Waterbury patrolled by mounted policemen, travellers will not be given any measure of safety. It is but q short time since man was killed in his own home, on that road, later a mail carrier was held up and robbed. and Wednesday evening John Hagger- ty, a middle aged. honest appearing laborer, while on his way home from Middlebury where he was working on the Whittemore road for Edward Me- Manus, was seized by the throat, choked into insensibility, kicked un- til he was black and blue, and then thrown into the bushes where he re- mained for several hours, when he finally revived sufficiently to be able to get to his home. He says he saw but one man and that without eN- changing word the stranger grabbed him and felled him to the ground. The last thing he knew the man had one foot on his stomach and was choking him with his right hand. He knows robbery was the motive but says he didn't have cent in his pock- cts, so that the highway man made nothing out of it beyond the sport he had in thrashing him. Haggerty be- longs in Hartford but has been work ing in Waterbury for the past three or four months. With good deal of effort he clambered up the brown stone steps leading to the city hall building this afternoon and ambled into the office of the department of charities where he told his tale of woe to the officials. The case received the attention it demanded but such ex- pense as the city may be put to will be charged to Hartford.

NO SECRET MARRIAGES.
New Law Makes Them Practically
 Impossible be Recorded.

A new law passed at the last ses- sion of the general assembly will to a great extent put stop to secret mar riages within the limits of Connecticut. This has been very nice, but in future people who desire to keep their mar riage secret will have to go out of the state to have the ceremony per formed.
 The new law provides that: "Wher- ever it shall appear from the certificate of birth, marriage or death filed with any registrar of births, marriages and deaths, the residence of the parents of the child born or the residence of either of the parties to the marriage or of the deceased was in some other town in this state, or any other state, at the time of said birth, marriage or death. said registrar shall at once make certified copy of said birth, marriage or death and transmit the same to the registrar of the town ill which said parents of the child born, or either of the contracting parties to said marriage or said deceased were residents at the time of said birth, marriage or death. Any reg istrar of births, marriages or deaths in any town in this state receiving such certified copy of birth, marriage or death from registrar of town or city in this state or any other state, shall record the same"
 It will be seen from the above that it will be impossible to keep secret A marriage for any length of time. as the registrar of any town will receive notice of the marriage of any resident of his town and make 1t matter of public record within few days after the marriage takes place.

A HUMANE MOTORMAN.
Helps Carry Man Hit By His Car to Police Station and Awaits Arrest.

New York, Aug 25.-John Smith, the mOtorman of an express car, saw an old man walking along the track between 31st and 32d streets on Sev- enth avenue last night. The roadway is narrow, the street having been dug up for the foundations for the Penn sylvania railroad terminal.
 Smith rang his bell and the old man stepped aside, but there was not enough standing room between the car and the fence and he was knocked down. Smith stopped his car and went to the mans assistance. He found that the man had tainted and with the help of the conductor carried him to the Tenderloin police station.
 Smith explained to the sergeant what had happened and said that he awaited arrest. The sergeant stared at Smith and remarked: T guess you're all right. I'll take a chance on white man any day." and refused to arrest him.
 Meanwhile an ambulance doctor had revived the man. He said he was Ed ward Golf. a shoemaker. w.o had been in the almshouse. He was little hurt and started for the home of a friend in Harlem.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Second Ward Republicans Have
 Named Their Aldermen.

The machine republicans of the second ward have got together on I. R. Hyde of Pine street, assistant sec retary of the Scoyill Mfg Co; W. J. Larkin of North Main street, superln- tendent of the Waterpury Clock Co; and Frank B. Buck of Maple street, .Waterville, as candidates for alder men. This ticket must" be elected. That's the way one of the second ward men puts it. A paper is being passed around among employees of the factories in support of these gentle men, not, 1t is said, because the candi- dates are anxious for the positions for which they have been named, but to prove to Captain Carter and others the folly of trying to beat the ma chine. This thing has become quite serious and the Larkin forces are bound to whip Carter and his cohorts out of their boots, no matter what It costs. The captain is now the under dog and this fact is bringing some re- cruits to his standard, but it Is not thought that they will be able to save him. For some reason or other Cap tain Carter appears to have raft of personal enemies and this deters many who would like to shy bricks at Lar kin and his mail clad warriors from turning a hand one way or the other. But they will all step into the fray at the primary. This paper in the shops will bring timid ones to time and it is not likely that any of them will go to the Carter camp. Meanwhile, George Beach has the party mantle under lock andskey and will hold it until October when it will be turned over to J. H. Filling for the balance of the present term.

Alderman Filling of the first ward, who was said to have grown weary of his job, has been whipped into line and is slated to head the ticket in that district. The three republican wards are wing with each other this year in an effort to put men of experience into the aldermanic chamber and the first thinks Filings long experience may possibly bring him to the front and entitle him to the chairmanship of the board.
