self equal to the task intrusted to
him by the people, despite the
quibbling efforts of petty sore
heads to make him appear other
wise, taking advantage of pro-
tracted and severe illness, which
came very near costing Mr.. Pow
ers his life. Naturally, this illness
was a decided drawback to his
Office work, which of late has
grown more arduous, than for
some years past, owing to the
great activity displayed both in
the Silver City and Como mining
districts. In the former, particu-
larly, many properties have chang

claims have been put on record.
Besides he is the ex-officio County

pos of the latter, it may not be
generally known to your readers
that in all other counties of the
State but Lyon, this Office is an
ex-officio attachment to that of the

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
For many past year Dayton
has had good schools, owing to the
wisdom of its several Boards of
| Trustees in selecting competent
teachers.
O. A. Brooks, l.. A. Guild and
S. E. Cooper constitute the pres

1 Miss Margaret Mack, native of
Dayton, is serving her first term
as principal, after teaching the
lower grades of this school for
1 twelve years. There are 81 pu-
pills in her room from the sixth
grade and upwards. Although
this is only a school of the gram
mar grade, nevertheless, the little
lady is so ambitious and eager to
show her gratitude to the good
people of Dayton for their kind
appreciation of her services, as to
extend to her advanced pupils the
benefit of two-year high school

AT TOWLE'S.

Gus Heege's famous comedy drama,
ole olson" is still engaged in pro
noting, laughter, gaiety and good feel
ing, and will be offered as a fun-maker
at the Towle opera house Sunday, Nov.
4, by the Northland singer, Ben Hen
bricks, and a company of guaranteed
excellence. Fifteen years of unbroken
success for this delightful comedy give
proof that it possesses rare qualities
that make for popular success. Few
plays live even half that length of
time.
In "Ole Olson the story is told in
simple, natural and sympathetic
manner that appeals to the heart; the
fun is not forced, but bubbles up spon-
taneously, and the incidents are pre-
scented in a way that carries convic-
ton. These are the qualities that have
given ole Olson - success. The per-
Torrance to be given here has been
directed, rehearsed and played by Ben
Hendricks, and is the only one author
lied and sanctioned by Gus Heege'
heirs. The company presenting ole =
is an excellent one, and as Mr.. Hen
bricks is making a feature Of his sing
ing and yodeling, a musical as well as
a dramatic treat is assured.

GEN. wALLACE's AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

To the many personal friends, ac-
quaintances and admirers of General
Lew Wallace, the announcement that
his autobiography ha- Just been placed
on the market by Harper & Bros. will
be of interest with dramatized YER
sion Of his THE Prince of India" oc-
cupying the attention of New York
and "Ben-Hur'' that of Chicago at the
Auditorium theater, this interest is
accumulated. The last years of Cen
eral Wallaces many-sided career were
spent in the preparation of his re
markable story, under the old beech
tree at his home in Charlottesville
where "Ben-Hur" was written, the
General transcribed his career on the
diverse fields of arms, letters, politics
and diplomacy. The book is rich in
"reminiscences several chapters being
devoted to his literary labors, in which
he recounts how en-Hur''-the book
which has been read by an innumerable
company and the drama which has
been witnessed by more than five
million people came to be written and
later dramatized. The story is a force
full presentation o. the man himself,
an intensely individualistic character
and one of the I. EST picturesque per-
sonalities of our times.

WALK AND BE HEALTHY;
HOW TO GET RESULTS
Rules for Getting the Most Out of the
MISUNDERSTANDING and Wheeling also
Beneficial.

Five months are now beginning in
which the average American is prone to
neglect his exercise.
The time is come when baseball, golf,
tennis. cricket and rowing are virtually
impossible. leaving only football to sur
vive among the more important out
door sports. Football, even in the as
ISOLATION form, is far too rugged for
the man who only exercises with the
idea Of protecting his health, and for
the most of US exercise is now at an
end until the thaws of next April
make it comfortable to work in the
open.
Yet the abandonment of the sources
Of strength for almost one-half of the
year is a serious mistake No indoor
exercise can equal in benefit muscular
action IN the open air.
There are four cardinal rules for
getting results from walking:
I. Walk fast. There is no profit
whatever in slouching along The
slow walker nexer expands the lungs.
snaps the muscles or gets the blood
circulating.
?. Take the exercise regularly. one
hour daily is better than nothing at all
on week days and ten hours on sun
day. Walking to and from work forms
an admirable means of exercise, pro-
viding ones homes is not more than
three miles from the shop or Office.
5. Dress for walking. Let your
shoes and clothes be loose and light as
you can wear them without suffering
from the cold. Don't wear an over
coat. except when you have to. for it
impedes the action of the legs. Don't
mind being a little chilly at the start
of walk on a cold morning.
4. Breathe deeply. Every time you
take a big draught of air through your
nose and let it filter slowly through
the lungs you are getting for nothing

Stage Puts His Chicago Players
Truogh the Hadrest Practice of the
SeaSon-Precautions Taken to Avoid
Spies.


Coach A. Alonzo Stagg broke a few
more records yesterday at Marshall
field by way of varying the motony of
the football training season. He gave
his men the longest practice they have
had this year. set the hercest pace of
the season for the drill, used more of
his new plays than he has brought out
previously and employed some of his
most pessimistic expressions to de-
scribe the whole proceedings. The
electric lights and the ghost ball made
their debut on the scene of action.
1t might have been the eve of a big
game at the Midway camp. Stage and
the men were keyed up for big things.
and the session was carried out as
though Chicago was to have a battle
royal tomorrow instead Of an open date
Stagg evidently wished to take no
chances with spies, for he took his
regulars to the girls basket ball field
adjoining Marshall field, for the work
in the more important of the new
tricks
The field is small and so situated
that there is little or no chance of see
ing the doings inside from any vantage
point in surrounding buildings. Here
the varsity was put through the pet
formations resigend to fool the gophers
without fear of interruption.

field until nearly $50 o'clock, almost a
