At the adjourned meeting of
the County Commissioners held
last Monday several matters of
much Importance, especially to
the peo,la of the town of Ely,
came before the Board. The
people are getting anxious over
the slow progress being made re-
garding the fire protection sys-
tenn, and the subject presents
many knotty problems for the
coun6y dads to solve. Engineers
who produced the necessary Gre
denti ais at the previous meeting

those most interested in preserv-
ing our fishing streams were
wondering why Murray and

Du..t creek left open.

HOUSE E-BRE EAKING
Dwelling House Of John Melvin
Between Ely and Georgetown
Broken into.
ENTRANCE THROUGH WINDOW;
EIGHTY DOLLARS STOLEN.

Some time during last Satur-
day house breaker entered the
dwelling house of John Melvin,
east of town, and stole about $50
in currency and coin, which had
been concealed between the bed
covers and mattress. The en-
trance was made through side
window.
Saturday morning Mr.. Melvin
left his place for visit TO his
mines across the valley, return
ing in the evening. Not wishing
to carry the money with him, he
hid it in the bed the night before.
The loss was discovered Sunday
morning. Sheriff Baird was no.
titled and began an investigation.
He learned from Wong Yong, "a
Chinaman gardening on the Mel
vim place, that Thomas Murphy,
a former employe of Melvin, and
George O'Neill were on the
premises about noon Saturday.
O. Neill entered the Chinaman s
dug out and chatted with Wong
fifteen or twenty minutes, when
Murphy came down. Wong had
seen the two men approaching
from a distance, and when O. :
Neill entered the den alone, he
asked where Murphy was. The
reply was that he was in the
closet. Both men left together.
The Chinaman says he saw them
start towards town together, but
O'Neill says they separated on
the premises. he coming to Ely
by a circuitous route over the
hill, past the Indian camp, and
that he did not know which way
Murphy went The latter re-
fuses to talk. The tracks under
the window entered correspond
with the size of shoe worn by
Murphy.
The facts so far known all
point Murphy's guilt; that the
larceny was committed while
O'Neill and Wong were in the
cellar. It was known that he
was broke the day before the
theft, and that afternoon and
evening he treated all who cared

WILL CLOSEIHAzEN DIVES
United States District Attorney
SummerfieId Takes
Action
RESORTS ON GOVERNMENT
LAND NOT SUBJECT TO ENTRY

The United States has at last
stepped in with view to closing
the saloons that have flourished
along the government canal in
Nevada for the past two years.
U. S. District Attorney Summer
field took the first step in that
direction He has drawn up a
large number of complaints, prin-
cipally offenders in the town of
HaSen, where the government
headquarters are now establish
ed. In the complaint it is urged
that the saloons, in direct def
ance of the United States laws.
are located on land that has been
withdrawn from entry. The
complaint also sets forth that the
liquor houses are a direct menace
to the work being carried on by
the government, as we'll as det-
rimental to the men employed.
The result of this action will
affect about fifty saloons located
at Derby, Camp Six, Hazen and
other camps along the line. The
contractors in one or two in
stances are also conducting sa-
looms at the camps, These re-
sorts have proved verita BILE mints
for their owners and are held
directly responsible for the nu-
merous robberies, assaults and
murders that have been com
mitted in this section of Nevada
during the past two years.
In addition to these, the COM
plants allege that several of the
saloons in Hazen have imported
a number of women of the lower
world, calculated to make their
places of business more attract
i've to the working man, and to
assist in the process whereby he
is separated from his hard earned
money. Much complaint is heard
from self-respecting residents of
Hazen, of every common law of
| decency is being violated.
United States District Attor-
| ney Summertield is authority for
| the statement that all cases aris
ing from Hazen saloon troubles
will be tried in the United States
district court at Carson.

Hamilton regarding the keeping
of the roads in the vicinity of
Hamilton in repair.
Ordered that the fire protection
bonds be advertised for sale; bids
to be received by the Clerk not
later than 10 o clock a. M, Mon
day.. June 5th, and no bid for
bond or bonds to be received for
less than parsvalue.
Ordered that fishing be pro-
hibited in Duck creek till the
commencement of the regular
open season of next spring.
b The former order directing the
sale of the county's interest in
the blind alley through block Y
in Ely was rescinded and a new
order made declaring the alley
closed till further order Of tho
Board.
The fire protection bonds ex-
hibited to the Board were reject
ed as not having been printed
according to the requirements OF
the law, and the printer of the
bonds was requested to have
them in proper shape for issuance
by the next regular meeting.

CamDto NJ. B. Garaghan, Ed

appeared before the Board to
make u suggestion concerning
the pest method to proceed in
in installing the fire protection
system. AS the Commissioners
have no assurance in writing that
the town can get water right,
either from the Chairman Min
& Electric Co. or from the Neva-
da Con. Copper Co, Mr.. Millard
made the wise suggestion that no
expense be incurred till the right
is obtained. Geo. M. Peacocke,
representing the former com
pany, and Supt. e. r. Gray of
the latter, do not want to take
the responsibility of surrender
ing rights of their respective
companies without consulting the
Boards of Directors. If it
chances that either company re-
fuses to grant the concession, the
whole water system will be nip
ped in the bud, and there will be
nothing left to do unless wells be
sunk or chemical engines be pur-
chased.

Geo. F. Mezger and {. S.
Magee have recently located nine
claims in the Ward district, the
location work on some of which
has shown up good values in
gold, silver and lead, with small
percentages in copper. Ward,
in the latter '70's was a prolific
G4pducer of high grade lead-sil-
er ore, but of late years the
vMines have been practically
abandoned. The new discoveries
will tend to again attract atten-
ton to the old camp, the mineral
resources of which had only fair
ly begun to be developed when
the decline in the price of silver
caused a suspension of work.

partment, forces his subjects to live up
to the very letter Of the law. These
are pictures seized by the government
because they have infr1nged more or
less on the laws against counterfeiting
In one of these pictures the artist had
portrayed a popular dream, with sew
eraI barrels filled and running over
with United States bank notes. The
law is no respecter Of artistic impulse
when it comes to representation Of
United States money, stamps or bonds.
It is one thing to make money, and
another to protect it, With over 600
cases of counterfeiters on hand every
year, it will be seen that the twenty
five districts Of the secret service are
kept busy. N cabinets in Chief Will
kie's office are carefully numbered por-
traits of every living suspect in the
counterfeiting business. 1t Is a singu-
lar fact that in all the attempts made
at counterfeiting none has ever been
long successful, and none has ever
been the work of a dishonest govern
ment employe.
Since Chief Wilkie has been at the
head Of the secret service many noted
cases have come under his observa-
ton, but of these he Is loath to speak.
One of the most notable cases in the
record Of the department was the cap
gang at Lancaster, Pa. Jacobs was
cigar manufacturer, and was first en-
gagged in counterfeiting internal rev.
enue stamps out of which he made
$125, 600. Then he grew ambitious to
carry out a plan Of floating $1O,0Oo,-
600 worth of green goods" He and his
assistants were working on Monroe
S10O-bill plates, and procured the stock
BY splitting one-dollar bills and bleach
ing the paper. The young men in the
scheme with Jacobs tried to float S1O,-
600 Of the bills on their own hook,
feeling so positive that their handi-
work was beyond suspicion The red
ink stamp on the bills was slightly
off-color, and this raised suspicion: it
was a salmon tint instead of the car
mine ink which the government makes
for its exclusive use. The bills were
pronounced genuine by experts at first.
but there was a slight shading on the
figures and U that did not tally
when examined by the lynx-eyed chief
and his secret service men. For four
teen months the secret service worked
to get a clew, renting rooms opposite
the suspects. The Monroe 500 bills
were soaked In water and fell apart;
then came the real work of obtaining
evidence, The internal revenue stamp

Carelessness in Handling Medicines.
Patients have frequently placed a
bottle of medicine to their lips and ia
ken draught Of it's contents in a dark
room, under the impression that there
was 'only one bottle upon that Shelf"
when in reality some other member of
the family had placed other bottles
there. In other instances a wife ris-
ing in the night to give some medicine
to her husband or child has picked up
the wrong bottle in the dim light and
administered a fatal dose.
which this most deadly virulent bac-
terial disease shall attain, will depend
chiefly upon the kind Of care people
take of themselves. Those who strive
to keep in good general health need
have little fear of it. Drunkenness is
foremost among the habits of mankind
that aid in the propagation Of pneu-
monia. Over eating is another form of
tntemperance which makes people fall
its easy victims. Failure to battle fire.
quently and breathing through the
mouth Increases the liability Of con-

houses are the cause of many cases.
If the rule were generally adopted of
never letting the temperature Of the
house or Office exceed 20 degrees much
less pneumonia would result.

a cure: One grain solid extract Of

one-half teaspoonful of sugar, four

pound the prescription. 1t is Of the
utmost Importance that the solid ex-
tract of digitalis be used. Some drug

Poverty has sent many from an old
home to a new; the depopulation Of
Ireland Is easy to understand. But,
strangely enough, prosperity can have
ostensibly the same effect, although
essentially, of course, the effect is quite
different In Iowa and in some other
rich and thoroughly titled sections of
the middle West we find the popula-
ton decreasing on account Of too
much prosperity at home" The land
is so valuable that some farmers are
selling to their richer neighbors at a
good price, and moving out to regions
where good land is cheaper. OF course
the country as a whole does not lose
it's laborers, but benefits by distribute
ing them in such way that a larger
number Of acres per capita are under
cultivation. The old farms are not
abandoned, but are worked by those
who remain-by fewer men but by
more machinery. Meanwhile new land
Is being worked in Texas, Oklahoma,
Washington and Canada. Viewed
largely, this is an economic gain, al
though the Iowa man who does not
look beyond the boundaries Of his State
may deplore decline in the population
Of the State; and the American who is
selfshly patriotic may begrudge the
farmers we send to Canada.
