Slight Shocks Felt Here.

Last Sunday night, about 10
o'clock, a light shock of earth
quake was felt in Yerington and
vicinity. Another light shock &C.
Cured Monday morning about 10
o'clock, and at 1870 Monday
night another slight temblor was
felt. The shocks were all SO light
that many people did not feel
them. We have had all kinds of
weather this Spring and crops of
all kinds are very backward. The
first crop of alfalfa will be poor,
owing to the cold weather and
wind. All that we need now to
put the valley on the bum is a
good heavy earthquake to shake
down the houses.

Death Of Mrs. Belle Cummings

The news of the death of Mrs.
Eva Isabelle Cummings reached
Yerington by phone Tuesday
morning, and was a shock to her
many friends. Mrs. Cummings
was stricken with paralysis about
FIVE weeks ago, but it was thought
that she was improving up to a
few days before she died. An
other stroke Tuesday morning
brought about the end.
Mrs. Cummings was born in
Gold Hill, December d, 1866, but
had been a resident of this valley
since girlhood. She leaves to
mourn her loss grief stricken
father and mother, a sorrowing
husband, two daughters and two
sons, Miss May Cummings being
the eldest daughter. Besides
these she leaves two sisters, Mrs.
F. Freeman, of this valley, and
Mrs. A. ]. Lotus, of Dayton; also
four brothers, John, Simon, Ivy
and Jim Parker, all of whom were
at her bedside except Ivy.
Mrs. Cummings was a devoted
daughter and mother, dutiful
wife and good woman. Her
many friends sympathize deeply
with the bereaved ones left be-
hind.
The funeral of deceased took
place Thursday from the M. E..
Church at this place and was very
largely attended. Rev. T. H.
Nicholas offered touching tribute
to the deceased, and Mrs. David
son and Mrs. McNeely sang. The
casket was covered with beautiful
flowers, sweet but silent tokens of
esteem from loving relatives and
friends. A great many people
followed the remains to the GEM
etery, where the last sad rites
were performed and the mortal
consigned to the earth from
whence it came.

Water at Mountain View.

w. l.. Brandon, who was down
from Mountain View last Satur-
day, reports that he has tapped a
good flow of water in his we'll at
that place at depth of IS feet.
There is about s feet of water in
the we'll and it is of excellent
quality for domestic purposes.
This is the only we'll in Mountain
View and will be used to furnish
water to people who locate there,
and also to Buckskin people. A
water wagon now delivers water
to the new bonanza camp. 1t is
Mr.. Brandon's calculation to in
stall a power pump at the well to
be run by a gasoline engine.

ESCAPES SEA, DIES OF COLD.
Captain Reaches Land Safely with
Crew, Then Expires.

DIGBY, N. S., Dec. 13.-The schoon-
er Emma R. Harvey of B~ucksport, Me-,
bound for New York with lumber, was
blown on the western coast of Nova
Scotia in zero weather last night.
Every man on board was thrown
into the water. When the men
dragged themselves through the break
ers to dry land, two were missing. One
was the master, Captain Berry. He
had come ashore, but fell on the beach,
frozen to death.
The other missing man, a seaman
was drowned. The weary men were
given shelter in a nearby house.
At about the same time the three
masted schooner Rebecca W. Huddell,
from Salem, Mass, for st. John, n. b,
in command of Captain Scott, was
beached at Point Prim. She had
dragged her anchors and drifted three
days. With the shore dead ahead the
men managed to rig a little canvas and
send her on the beach. The sailors
were almost exhausted.

They Want Bags.
Milton Eagle.

The Eagle desires to go on record
as being in favor of the establishment
of a jute mill at the p~enitentiary for
the manufacture of grain bags. We
trust the coming legislature will take
such action as is necessary to install
a plant. Governor Chamberlain is re-
ported to be opposed to a state jute
mill, giving as a reason that the ca
pacity of the mill would not be suff-
cient to supply the demand and would
therefore be of little or no avail in CIV
ing relief to the farmers. We give
the governor credit for sincerity, but
believe he is mistaken to a large extent
in his conclusions. While the mill
might not be able to give entire relief
from the rapacity of the sack trust, it
would undoubtedly help some, and the
industry could gradually be enlarged
until the output would supply the de-
mand. Every little helps, and a half
loaf is better than no bread.

"PEccY FROM PARIS"

ALI who enjoy musical plays-ano
who in these days does MOI take kind
ly to that form of stage entertainment

Grand Saturday, Dec. Is. to hear
George AIDES witty and melodious
Peggy From Paris" The mere an
nouncement that Peggy From Paris
is to be presented In this city will
o u the interest of all theater pat
rons hereabouts. The fame of this
most successful musical comedy is
known to all who keep track OF thea
trical happenings. It has scored one
Of the biggest hits Of any musical play
ever produced. 1t is celebrated for it's
wit, humOr and satire; for the bright
ness of it's book, its interesting and
amusing character portrayals, it's in
genious and original story. In Peggy
From Paris" George AIDE has put some
of his cleverest work.. No greater as
a Of its laugnter-creating quail
tiles could be demanded by the most
exacting. There is the verdict of New
York, Boston, Chicago and other large
cities to guarantee the abundant de-
lights of this play. 1t ran for foul
months in New York, for five in Boston
and for three in Chicago, and it is
better and brighter and wittier now
than ever, for since those runs were
scored Mr.. AIDE has added much new
material that has freshened and n
livened the book, dialogues, scenes and
situations. Indeed, Peggy From Par
is" as it will be offered here, is mer-
rier n gayer than it was when it cap
tured the fancy of New York, Boston
and Chicago inc scored the hits Of the
season. Long faces and gloomy moods
will have no place in the audience of
Peggy From Paris" They could not
Withstand it's merriment and gaiety
and its captivating melodies. Laughter
and high spirits are guaranteed. This
effect cannot fail. 1t will be produced
by the witty lines, the funny situa-
tions, the comical characters, the
amusing complications and by the
sparkling music and the pretty sing
ing and dancing girls. Fun and bright

NEW SPELLING AT CORNELL.

ITHACA, N. Y, Dec. 13.-Many OF
the most prominent members of the
Cornell faculty nave committed them
selves in favor of the simplifed SPELL
ing advocated by President Roosevelt.
Outside of the department of English
the sentiment seems to be entirely in
favor of some new system of spelling.
Former President Andrew D. White
has long been an advocate of the new
spelling and is a member of the COM
mission which is seeking to have it
established. Prof. Burt G. Wilder, the
Psychologist, praises R~oosevelt's course
in the matter.
Dean Smith Of the College of Me-
chanical Engineering says: II am at
present using the simplified spelling
myself, and 1 consider all of the dis
cussion against its adoption nonsense"
Dean L. H. Bailey of the department
of agriculture, believes that in the nat
ural evolution of the language simpli-
fled spelling is bound to come anyway.
In the law school Prof. E. H. Wood
ruff advocates a partial change.
On the other hand, Prof. Corson, for
merly nead of the English department.,
says it is Dissertation to change famil-
lar words.
