Patriotism and the WOman's Club.

The woman's clubs have been
accused of many things, and now
it is discovered that they are the
generators of aristocracy in this
land of the free. Nevertheless,
Miss Elizabeth Howard Westwood
points out in the November num-
Der of the New Idea Woman's
Magazine, that they are fulfilling
a noble function in preserving the
memory of the past in this icono-
elastic age. She says:
"The patriotic societies we're
introduced in 1890 by the Society
of Colonial Danes. Soon after,
the Daughters of the American
Revolution, The Daughters of the
Confederacy. Colonial Wars,
Huguenot Society and New Eng
land Society followed it's lead.
The immediate effect of this new
style of club life was strenuous
genealogical research, and an ex-
ceIlent thing it was. 1t is all
very well for the free born Amer
ican to hold in scorn the caste
lines Of an aristocracy, but it does
not excuse her Indifference to the
history Of her country and the
deeds of her forbears. The pass
port to membership has been
neither wealth, brains nor social
standing, but an ancestor affiliated
with the cause which the club
commentaries. 1t is the nearest
to the European nobility which
this country has approached. The
purpose has been far from the
imitation of effete social systems,
however. The clubs have formed
a bodyguard about the nations
past, to preserve it from the van
dalism of materialism and to per-
petuate it in the minds of succeed
ing generations. Nobly they have
done their work. Their activities
have been varied. They have en-
couraged the study of American
history in the public schools. As
the children of Israel, wandering
in the wilderness, collected piles
of stones to mark events of their
sojourn, they have marked histor-
ic spots with bronze tablets. 1t
has been their privilege and care
to purchase and restore buildings
which have figured in history. In
New York the old Fraunce Tavern
has been bought and is soon to be
fitted up as museum. 2

No Job Here for Cigarette Smokers.

The Mobile, Jackson and Kan
sas City Railroad not only re-
quires temperance and sobriety of
its employees, but has recently is
sued an order forbidding the
smoking of cigarettes while on
duty, and announcing the PROPOSE
tion that ''the smoking of cigar
cites on or off duty is sufficient
cause for dismissal" This is a
trifie more radical than any other
corporation has ever hitherto
been, and realizing that this is SO
the management accompanied the
order with the following reasons
which the company regards as
sufficient to justify the rule:
81. 1t is degrading. 2. It is
offensive to others. 3. 1t pre-
vents resistance to disease. 4. 1t
retards physical growth. 5. 1t is
injurious to the nervous system.
6. 1t Injuries the heart action. Z.
1t is form of slavery. s. 1t is a
step toward optimism and alco-
holism. 3. 1t exploits a deadly
poison-nicotine. 10. 1t makes
an employe less valuable to his
employer, and consequently to
himself and family.'
We believe the most important
of these reasons are 5, 6, Z and 8.
Scientific Investigations as we'll as
experience have found that in the
majority of cases those young men
addicted to the habituaI use of
cigarettes have impaired nervous
systems, that the heart action be-
comes feeble under the continued
stimulation, and that as a matter
of fact the user does become more
or less of a slave to the habit.
These are important physical
manifestations of the habit, but
the more serious reason is that it
frequently, though not always,
leads to the use of opium or to
strong drink This is pointed out
by physicians and ''nerveD spe-
cialists to be natural PATHOLOGY
cal result of the over stimulation
of the nerve cells which come
finally to demand something
stronger and more effective than
the cigarette will afford. One
prominent specialist said recently
in paper on the subject publish
ed in leading medical journal
that tobacco in any form is likely
to lead to the use Of opiates or al
cohol, but more especially is this
true when taken in the form of
cigarettes, ''most of which are in
a measure doped with a percent
age of opium.
This specialist cited the fact
that of all persons suffering from
alcoholism in aggravated forms;
nine-tenths were users Of tobacco
generally smokers and that of
those four -ffths had got their
start" from cigarette smoking.
These are questions likely to oc-
cupy the public mind for some
time and to their consideration in
telligent smokers as we'll as non
smokers will give thoughtful at
tention. The Mobile, jackson
and Kansas City Railroad people
are setting a pace likely later to
be followed by other corporations.

The fight over the Judgeship ap-

Make one Judicial District for Hum

and then let Bonnifield and Curler
resign with the understanding tina.
both be appointed by the Governor for
the new district, with concurrent juris-
diction and a salary of $4,000 apiece
per annum.
In case where Curriers' father was
an attorney, allow Bonnifield to sit.
and where Bonnifields relative was
an attoreney allow Curler to sit
This would be a simple solution OF
the matter and remove all the obje.,-
lions arising from a near relative Of
the Court practicing before it.
The extra expense would only be
$500 for Humboldt and Washoe coun-
ties respectively. Churchill county
ought to be we'll satisfied with that.

FRANK CRAVEN FOUND DEAD.
Wanders From Home and Body Dis.
covered in . Well.

covered In . Well.
Wednesday afternoon the many
friends. and in fact the entire COM
munity, was shocked, to learn that tn,
body Of Frank Craven had been found
in well at place east Of town known
as ''Nigyer Bill's". The body was
found through a search for the man,
who had been missing from home sew
eral days.
Several days age he and other COM
panions were seen on the street in
an intoxicated condition. Later they
were seen near the place where the
body was found. 1t was at first sus-
| picioned that foul play had taken place
but on thorough investigation it seems
that the case was one of accident .>r
intent upon the part of the deceased.
The well in which he met his death
is about ten feet deep and contained
three feet of water, while the hole
through which his body passed was
but 12x14 inches, which demonstrated
to the officers that the deceased crawl
ed in himself, as he had threatened
ton like that when he was last seen.
| Another facts which points to the
theory is that a small ladder was in
side of the curling which a sober
man would have reached and saved
himself.
1t is stated that cries were heard sew
eral nights ago, but as the place is
near the Indian camps, those who
heard them believed that they came
from the Indians.
AT meeting of the coroners jury at
the inquest yesterday verdict of
death by alcoholism and exposure was
rendered.
Frank Craven was a native of Chat.

early life was spent in Illinois from

DR.. G. G. Jacobs, many years lead

home, Union street, this place. from a
complication of diseases with which he
had been long afflicted.
DIR. Jacobs was born November Is.
1880, i'll Monongala county, West Va
After passing through the State Uni

Brock, distinguished physician of Nor
gantown, and later attended both the
College of Physicians aud Surgeons at
Baltimore and Bellevue Medical College
of New York. He practiccd few years
i'll his native State, and i'll 1882 came to
FrOStburg, where he at once attracted
attention, and in short time took high
rank Ill his profession, rapidly acquiring
a large practice i'll this and neighbOriug
counties. Devoted to his work, he kept
i'll touch with its progress and made
profitable use of his discoveries and eX-
perlences by contributing many note
worthy papers to medical journals, and
actively participating in the proceedings
of the several medical associations of
which he WAS always a distinguished
member.
Not ostentatiously public spirited
uldIl, NtI ne WIS KNOW II 10 De Il warm
advocate of the better side in all adj
ministrative affairs. He belonged on
the roll of physicians, happily numerous,
who hold that it is far better to dis
courage than promote sanitary evils.
Hence, he loved his profession for the
good that is in it rather than as a back
ing for profit and medium for mere
tricious distinctions.
He leaves a widow, and one daughter
Mrs. John G. Grahame. He was twice
married Miss Flora Fear, of Morgan
town, West Va, becoming his first wife,
and Miss Fanny Taylor, of this place
