The Founder of
Our State.

are advocating the building OF a
monument to Jim Butler to be
surmounted with life-sized statue
Of the father of Tonopah. In their
enthusiasm these papers have
gone 30 far as to refer to Mr.. But
Ter as the father of Nevada. just
why the people of Nevada should
build a monument to Jim Butler.
and why he should be honored
with the dubious appellation OF
"the father of Nevada" we are not
apprised by our hero worshipping
contemporaries. In the absence
of authentic information on the
subject, we take it that there are
two reasons for the movement.
One is that Jim Butler discovered
the rich ledge that has since made
Tonopah famous. The other is
that Jim Butler made a large for
tune out Of that discovery, and is
a liberal spender. Neither is suf-
ficient to warrant the people of
Nevada In building monument
to his memory, nor to justify the
sohriquet, "father of Nevada. The
real "father of Nevada" sleeps In
an unmarked grave in little un-
kept cemetery in Bozeman, Mon
tana. Anthony Comstock, the
discoverer and locator of the Com
stock lode, stands pre-eminently
the founder of our great wealth.
Unlike Mr.. Butler, Comstock re-
allied but little this worlds goods
from his important discovery, and
after long life of privation and
hardship. died in the county poor
house at Bozeman and was buried
in the potter's field. Comstock
did much for Nevada. Nevada
never did anything for Comstock
while alive, and now, If these
money -crazed journals are permit
ted to mould the public opinion
of the state, would deprive him
after death OF the honor that is in
dubitably his.
All honor to all tile sturdy men
whose stout hearts and dauntless
courage have braved the hard
ships and dangers of the noun
tains and the deserts. and have
made Nevada the foremost mining
state Of the Union. All honor to
Jim Butler, the founder of Tono-
pah! All honor to poor Anthony
Comstock, the founder of Nevad; /!
The News will not contribute one
cent to fund TO build a monu-
ment to Jim Butler, but it will do
nate literally to a fund to bring
tho bones of Anthony Comstock
back to the state his hardy spirit
created. aud to erect a monument
to the memory of him whose name
will be revered as long as patriotic
Nevadans till the soil OF our fer
tile valleys or climb our rugged
mountains in quest of Eldorados.

Must Face
Serious Charge
Tonopah Railway Brake
man Arrested.

The Reno Gazette OF last Mon
day, March Goth, says: Charles E.
Erwin, a brakeman working on
the Tonopah railroad, was arrested
at Hawthorne last night by Sher-
if Jones of Es,neralda county, Tor
being implicatsd in an alleged
criminal operation, in Ogden, in
which young woman named
Hanna Serges lost her life.
He was brought to this city last
night, says the Gazette, by Sheriff
Jones and turned over to Deputy
Wilson of Ogden and Detective
Vance of the Southern Pacific
Company. They took him on to
Ogden this morning, where he
will be charged with felony and
given a hearing.
1t ID alleged that some months
ago. Erwin, who is young mar
ried man, and the member of
prominent Ogden family, met Miss
Hanna Segers OF Brigham City.
He kept company with her for
some time, making her believe
that he was an unmarried man and
be intended to marry her. Later
he went away from Ogden and left
Miss Segers to face her fate.
In order to hide her shame and
to avoid bringing her family into
disgrace, which is one of the
most prominent in Brigham City,
Miss Segers is said to have sub
mitted TO an operation which was
fatal. Before dying, it is stated
thst she told the name of the man
that had ruined her and asked that
the matter be kept quiet. The off,
GERS Immediately began to work on
the case, however, and Ut last To-
Gated Erwin at Hawthorne, where
he vas working on the Tonopah
railroad.
Erwin does not know that the
young woman is dead and the OFF,
GERS would not tell him that she
was fearing that he would demand
that they have extradition papers
before taking him back to face the
charge against him.
OGDEN, Utah, March 26.-The
victim of Charles E. Erwin's 8
crime was Miss Annie Segers,
twenty-nine years old, who died
last Tuesday in Brigham City.
The charge of adultery has been
placed against him. Miss Segers'
death is supposed to have been
due to shock of the news conveyed
to her in February that Erwin was
a married man. Both mother
and child have died. Erwin is
well-known here and is generally
liked. His wife is an Ogden girl
but has been separated from him
some time, aud now lives in Baker
City. Oregon.

Bisbee daily review., 1906-09-11

To see Professor Charles Herold in training for his coming match with Sid Varney for the heavyweight wrest- ling championship of Arizona, schedul- ed to come off at the Don Luis Ball park on next Sunday, one can easily imagine that Varney is up against the toughest proposition of his life. In stature Herold is comparatively a small man, his weight being only l57 pounds, but in strength there can be no doubt that he is the equal of his weightier adversary. His endurance is marvellous, and is a daily treat to the sports of owell who have come to look upon his traIning stunts as a regular matinee entertainment.
 Herold rises every morning at and is out on the road and romping toward the Sulphur Springs valley with the rising of the sun. He does from five to ten miles before breakfast, and rarely shows the effects of his early morning exercise, although he returns to his training quarters at Lowell at top speed.
 He spends the remainder of the morning hours lolling about Lowell, always keeping in the open air. He
 
 work either in the open or Tn room with doors and windows open. Fatigue seems to be an unknown quantity to the German Sampson, and all the work the Review man saw him do yester- ing in the least.
 His afternoons are spent at his training quarters in the Mason build ing, where the public have been invit- ed to see him train. After having done enough weight-lifting yesterday to tire an ordinary horse, Herold took on his manager, Mir. Taylor, the latter no novice at the wrestling game, and although Taylor was "all in" at the close of their half hour tustle, the Ger man wore look of disappointment as if looking for more. One of his feats in weight-lifting which caught the eye of the reporter is worthy of mention. Herold lay flat on the floor of his improvised gymnasium and poising two 120-pound dumb bells, one on either foot, lifted each alternately 100 times. In other words he lifted twelve tons of iron in the short space Of time he devoted to that particular exercise. He did not seem in the least fatigued, in fact he had no more than sprung to his feet than he was showing the reporter how easily he lifted the 240 pounds at arms length above his head.
 Taking dumb bell in either hand, Herold slowly but steadily raised the weights till they remained at rest at arms length above his head. And yet he was not tired.
 He then bridged, standing on his feet and heau, and while Manager Fay Tor and the reporter sat on his stom- ach, Herold again raised and lowered the two heavy dumb bells till it seem ed as though surely human sinews could stand it no longer. But scarce ly had he got 10 his feet before he was explaining, apparently not the least out of breath, how he had achiev' ed his splendid physique and muscu' lar development by dint of ten years of the most strenuous work with five and ten pound dumb bells by means of a system of exercises which he, him self had invented and of which he claims to be the only living exponent Herold is a clean little fellow, and neither smokes nor drinks. Varney will know that something has been doing when the sun. goes down next | Sunday.

POLICE SERVICE OF CANANEA
 GOOD
Efficient Officers in Command. Military and Civil Officers Work in Harmony - Peace full Conditions Exist,

The city of Cananea, Mexico, has been pictured to the public by some Yellow Journals" as city in the power of the revolutionists. It has been proved that these reports are wholly without foundation. To the e Cntrary. there is no city in the Unit ed States that affords its residents bet ter protection than Cananea.
 The city has civil and military po- lice service directed by efficient of iicers. Col. Kosterlitzsky is stationed in Cananea with a company of Rural es. They patrol the streets at night and upon the hour their signal whist les can be heard from one end of the city to the other. The civil police travel beats in uniform and plain clothes. They are compelled to re- port every hour and if caught loiter- ing or entering a saloon. then and there are arrested, and lose their stars, Acded to this service are the copper company detectives under the direc- tson of Chief Burt Grover. who is one cf the most efficient border officers in the West. The perfect O opera tion of the civil and military police gives the city police protection that makss 1t almost impossible for the commission of crime without detec- tion The police have the situation in Cananea under perfect control, and with the existing form of protection f is almost impossibel for an upris. ing of any nature. for the reason that a crowd could not gather and go far before the mounted reserves would d;sT erse them.
 Untold harm has been done Cananea by these yellow" stories, and, insofar aa American lives and property being in Ganger. ii is absolutely false.
 Thsy are safer and are given bet tet protection than they would have i1 some cities of their own country T. is hard 10 understand where al thsss absurd fake stories originated for if any one can see any intimatioI cf an insurrecticn in Cananea they T ust get it from the prosperous busi mss conditions that prevail. and from watching the people attending to theil hl siness in a peaceful manner. | ti.ese conditions signify an insurrec ton Cananea has one.

MORE THAN PERFECT
School Teacher Three Per Cent
Above Par

Miss George Fl. Ragland, who has
been engaged to teach school at
Dover this year, has accomplished
the seemingly impossible, of securing
a teachers certificate upon an exami-
nation that gives her over 100 per
cent. Strange as it looks the cir
cumstances are absolutely correct
and proper and have come about in
this manner:
Under the school laws of the state
a teacher holding a certificate in one
county Of the state may be granted a
like certificate in another county by
applying to the superintendent of
schools. Miss Ragland held a first
grade certificate from Garfield
county, granted something like a
year and half ago. Last year she
taught IN Boulder county. Her
certificate was based on an examina-
ton that gave her an average of 81 IL
per cent.
The school laws of the state also
permit a certain per cent to be
added to teachers standing for
regular attendance at teachers insti-
tutes during the year. Miss Raglsnd
was regular in this attendance dur
ing the past year and won an addi-
tional five per cent on this work,
thus giving her nearly 103 per cent
on her certificate. When County
Superintendent Of Schools Harrison
saw this array Of facts he did not
hesitate for an instant in issuing a
like" certificate to the one from
Garfield county, with the additional
five per cent.
In addition TO being the only
teacher in Weld county who has ever
run better than perfect in her work.
Miss Ragland also has homestead
claim near Dover, upon which she is
trying to prove up while teaching
school.

DANGER IN DELAY
Kidney Diseases Are TOO Dangerous for
Greeley People to Neglect

The great danger of kidney trou-
bIes is that they get firm hold before
the sufferer recognizes them Health

headache, nervousness, lameness,
soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles,
dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease
follow in mercilesS succession.
Don't neglect your kidneys. Cure
the kidneys with the certain and
safe remedy, Doau's Kidney Pills.
