Fleas Spreading
Pneumonia i'm
Nevada, Says
Physician.
Cold Weather Driving In
sects From Desert.

"Fleas, driven by the extreme
cold weather from the desert sur
rounding the city. have swarmed
into Reno during the past three
weeks until they are more numer-
GUS than l have ever seen them
any place in the country said
DR.. j. r. Mason, a we'll known
Chicago physician, who has been
stopping at the Overland Hotel in
an interview yesterday.
From lodging houses and sa-
looms | have gathered specimens
and have been studying them
since my arrival here. l know
there will be scoffers but l stand
ready to back my reputation on
the statement that pulex irritanus,
as they are known in a medical
way, are the cause of the preva-
lance of pneumonia. Like the
mosquito of Louisiana carried the
fatal germs of yellow fever, the
flea of Nevada is now spreading
pneumonia through the state. The
tieas, after feasting upon patient
suffering from the malady, lodge
upon healthy person and inject
the poisonous virus into their
blood with the result that within
a short time another person is
down with the dread malady and
bad cold is credited as the
cause"
Notwithstanding that it is said
pneumonia is not a germ disease
one contagious or infectious, or
what you may care to call it-l
claim it is and stand ready to
prove it. Warm weather is all
that can drive these 'feas from the
city. To guard against their bites
the remedy l would suggest is the
application of olive oil. They are
averse to oil or greasy substances
and person by applying the oil
or vaseline is practically immune
from their bites. journal.

"Nevada Permits
No Insult" Says
Editor Got
Waldt.

William Mcclure Gotwaldt, the
doughty editor of the Carson News
has girded on his armor, and In
the following knighty fashion has
smitten hip and thigh the Snug
person who writes the editorials
for Golfers Weekly.
Golfers Weekly is sufficiently
long established and prominent to
be intelligent, but the brains that
boss the magazine are lacking in
judgement. Golfers makes the
same error other publications in
the effecte, overcrowded, ignorant
and inexperienced east are ac-
customed to, in fact, prone to.
Golfers objects to the entrance
of Arizona and New Mexico into
the union, basing its argument up
on the awful mistake In making
Nevada a state.
Right here the News throws
down the gauntlet. If any other
commonwealth in the union de-
sires to put, forth its claims to
fame in comparison with those of
this state, the News will meet it in
the arena of argument.
Nevada is not and never has
been as large, upon a nose-count-
ing basis, as a second class city.
But every individual in this bat
tle-born state is and has been a
history maker.
Nevadans do not wear silk hats
and open-work stockings. They
are lacking in the Eyetalian sound

The State of Op=
pOrtunitieS.

Many of the great writers of
the day have said that opportunity
comes but once in mans life.
but these savants evidently had
never formed a close acquaint-
anceship with the great State or
Nevada, says the Sun.
No State in the Union today Of
fers the opportunities thut Me-
vada does to the man who is will
ing to take advantage of them
when they present themselves.
Astounding in wealth, some of
which we tread under our feet
every day, we have to put forth
our efforts and secure for our
selves a competency. Not only
is this true of the minersl part of
the State, but the condition also
obtains in all branches of bust
ness.
Stop and think moment of the
men you know who came to Tono-
pah without dollar to their
names, yet many of them are now
able to draw their checks for a
goodly sum, but there is secret
to their success; these men buckl-
ed down to work and did not stand
around on the corners waiting for
some one to come along and drop
the plum into their hand.
They worked, and when the op-
portunity came they seized it and
made the most of it and were alive
and awake so that when another
came they were prepared to seize
that also.
There is little, if any, excuse for
a man in good health not making
good living in the State if he is
but willing to work and to seize
the opportunities which present
themselves.

STATE NOTES.
A Few Short Items of Interest
Around the State.

Pneumonia is getting in its work
in the western part of the State in
good shape.
Who knows where Mat Kelley

The Midway Mining Company
of Tonopah has declared divi-
dend of 5 cents per share, payable

Two sheepherders lave been
lost in White Pine county and it Is
supposed their bands OF 5000 sheep
perished in the recent storm.
L. h. Sawser, the delinquent
warehouse employe at Palisade,
who fled into North Dakota and
later escaped into Idaho, after OBJ
tanning his release at Salt Lake by
means of habeas corpus proceed

George Ernst has sold his fine
ranch on Old river in Churchill
county to DIR. A. II. Hepner and
G. Ii. Kreamer. The ranch con-
tains 1000 acres, 400 of which are
in alfalfa, 500in cottonwood and
only 100 arces waste land.
The sale is an important one.

removing their boots and occas-
ionally they use profanity.
But the forty or fifty thousand
men, women and children in Ne
vada have set a shining example TO
the balance of the republic. They
have abolished sham and hypro-
crisy. They have never done an
evil act in craftsmanship that was
not in the open.
Peace end qniet reign within the
borders of the state. The greatest
gold camps in the world are being
operated and there is not reg
ularly organized police force in a
single town in the mining region,
in fact, there is no formal incor-
poration.
Yet manslaughter is rarity and
theft is an unknown art.
Nevada is a greater producer
than it is a customer, but the state
does not enjoy the evident balance
of trade. 1t goes to build palaces
in New York, sky scrapers in Cal
fernia and villas in foreign lands.
Nevada has borne the plunder by
other states without complaint. 1t
has been long suffering through
the years. 1t permits injury, but
IT RESENTS INSULT.

permitted a brief interview. When
the nurse came to take her away

Ores Going to Den
yer, Colo.
Southern Pacific Reduces
Rates for Benefit of
Mining Camps.

The smelters at Denver have
been opened to the ores mined in
Nevada by the Southern Pacific
Company which announced sew
eral days ago that it would trans
port ores to Denver at the Utah
rate plus So ton. The shippers
in the southern camps are already
taking advantage of the new rate
and within the last few days ship
ments have been made into Dem
yer at the rate of $50 tons a day.
Denver is better situated in re-
gard to huxing ores than the
smelters of Utal ;" said mining
man to Gazette reporter in Reno.
'Their supply is greater and the
haul considerable less. While the
freight rate from Nevada to Colo
RADIO is somewhat higher than to
Utah points, | anticipate a large
shipment from this State as many
of the operators feel called upon
to make continued shipments in
order to carry on the development
of these mines"
The same rate that has been
given Nevada has been made to
the Butte district, the shipments
from which have also been limited
by the Salt Lake smelters which
have run short of fuxing ores.

Why the Bill Was Introduced.

He said:
The bill was framed and introduced by
me in Difference to the universal agitation
throughout the country on the part of the
different religious denominations and those
who had the true welfare of the country at
heart that something should be done to
stop the wholesale applica ton for and
granting of divorce which lately seems to
have taken possession of our people, and
which, if continued, would result in seri-
GUS social evils Attention was lately call
ed in my own state to the fact that the
percentage of divorce, as compared with
marriage mad increased very cons derably
during the last decade
While this increase in Pennsylvania has
been small in comparison with that in
some other states, yet the whole numt Or
granted in all the states taken as an ag-
gregate, has been such rs to cause SO uni
versal an alarm that the President of the
United States has lately made it the sub
ject of special message to Conglpss.
THE question Of divorce being ne en-
tirely relegated to state law, Congre IS can
not pass any general law that would re-
strict the rights and privileges of a di-
vorced person, and, the laws in the differ
ent states governing divorces being widely
diverse, there Will be great difficulty in a
uniform divorce law ever being adopted.
AS to appointive positions the question
is entirely different. Congress can and
should take the initiative py enactin5 this
bill into law, which would at once bar
out from eligibility to federal offices or
any appointment under the federal govern
ment those who have been divorced, eX-
cept for the one ground of adultery.
The matter of divorce having reached
so serious a phase to have been deemed
worthy to be recommended for investiga-
ton and consideration by Congress by the
federal executive. 1t seems emnently
proper that this bill should be enacted into
law, as it would at once stamp with the
disapproval of the highest legislative body
of the country the practice of divorce.
trend of advanced public opinion, as ex-
pressed by great ecclesiastical organiza-
tons 1t meets the demand for reform in
state laws upon the question Of divorce.
1T sets good example, to say the least,
and will be effective in purifying public
| opinion
