YOUNG WOMAN SHOOTS
HERSELF IN TONOPAH
Lyon county Farmers Are Anxious Of
Forming An Irrigation District-Aus-
tin People Made Sick BY Paint Solu-
ton which Permeates Town Water.

Pansey West, employed in a dance
hall at Tonopah, shot herself through
the left breast Thursday morning, dy'
ing instantly. She had been reading
a novel entitled, "Thrown on the
World" and it is supposed that in a
sudden fit of dependency she took her
life, after reading the sentence:
.-that life had become la trouble
and a burden greater than she could
bear; they did not know that the
swift, sudden, terrible death came to
herw as a blessing in Disguise
She was IS years old, and formerly
resided in San Jose, Cal.
]. /. Wilson and Frank Simpson,
members of the Walker River Water
Association, have been circulating a Pc
tition this week seeking signatures ask
ing the board of county commissioners
of Lyon county to call a special election
within the boundaries of the proposed
district for the purpose of voting on the
question of establishing an irrigation
district to take in Mason Valley and
Smith Valley. They have secured the
signatures of very many tax payers In
these valleys and hope to be able to pre-
sent the petition to the board of coun-
ty commissioners at the next meeting
to be held next Monday in Dayton.
The town of Austin had a serious
scare this week caused by a sickness
which it was thought was epidemic. A
number of the inhabitants fell i'll and
if was at first thought to be ptomaine
potion. Analysis of the town water
proved that to be the cause of the
trouble and investigation showed that
a paint solution earelessly left at the
source of Cthe artesian water supply in
a barrel had %permeated the water.

was transacted and suitable orders
made, United States District Attor-

TAXPAYERS NOT COMPLAINING
Ordinance Prohibiting Speaking in
Central Park Seems to Please
Citizens Generally

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29.-(Editor
Herald): 1t is very noticeable that
most of the complaints against the
new ordinance prohibiting speaking in
the parks comes from people who hide
under the tourist" cloak. Taxpayers
are not heard complaining about this
order, neither do any of the people.
especially women, who have to pass
through the park. Another thing is
very conspicuous and that is the fact
there are about fifteen men to one wo-
man who use the park for pleasure.
1 never knew tourist in all my FL
years. residence here who was in fear
lest some of his rights of speech would
be taken away No woman can pass
through Central park on an afternoon
without running the gantlet of groups
of idle men to stare and remark. The
idle man has plenty of time to kick
and figure out his rights. The busy
man cares more for his good citizen

DECISIVE ACTION DEMANDED

The frequency of street car accidents
in Los Angeles has reached the point
where thousands of people are timid
about boarding the cars. If any per-
son doubts the correctness of that
statement let him make a little in
quiry in his own neighborhood. EX
pressions indicating such fear are quite
common, emanating chiefly, of course,
from persons of highly nervous tenn
perament.
It is a fact also, that Los Angeles is
acquiring very unenviable reputation
abroad resulting from its unparalleled
record, within the last few months, of
fatalities on city and interurban rail-
way lines. The Los Angeles daily
newspapers are familiar visitors in
many thousands of homes abroad par
ticularly those of eastern people in
touch with residents of this city. From
the newspapers the facts are learned
which lately are leading to direct in
quiries from persons contemplating
visits or homeseeking in Los Angeles
or it's neighborhood.
Something must be done, and at once,
toward minimizing risk of personal in
jury by electric car accidents. The
method Of procedure on that line,
thanks to an exceptionally intelligent
and fearless coroner's jury was out
lined in the verdict rendered last Mon
day. The cause of the accident in

avoid such accidents in future was
pointed out.
The fundamental cause of the fire.
quency of such accidents, as abundant
testimony proves, is the ineompetency
or "greenness" of some motormen. AS
rule the carmen employed by the
local companies are we'll seasoned men,
capable and trustworthy. 1t is un-
questionable, howe or, as experience
teaches. that some of the men en-
ployed to handle the motors are to-
tally unfit for the service because OF
lack of training.
The coroner's jury referred TO states
the case precisely in saying: I'VE find
that sufficient instructions are not
given to employees before allowing
them TO operate cars" The testimony
Of the motorman involved in that case
was alone sufficient justification for this
jury's conclusion. He said, as re-
ported, that he was new man on that
run. having worked only one day. and
was not familiar with the time
schedule system in vogue ON the single

LATEST BANK LOOT

The latest wreck of a financial con-
Germ as the result of official loot
ing is reported from the good city
Of Philadelphia. The private mark
of that truly good community is
found, in fact, all over the wreck
age. The chief wrecker, who is
supposed to have committed sui
eide. was president of the concern.
a big trust company with Si0,00O,000
of deposits. That he was high up in
the scale Of Philadelphia goodness is
shown by the fact that he was treas
urer of the general session OF the
Presbyterian church in the United
States, treasurer of the sustenance
committee of the synod Of Philadel-
phia, treasurer of the Presbyterian
hospital" ETC.
Truly good as he was, however, that
sanctimonious financier looted the
funds of the trust company on such
"the liabilities are placed at 100000
000," with good assets of about one
third that sum and a job lot Of what
is called doubtful collateral"
AS in other cases of such disclosure,
the president of the concern had full
swing of the funds. his character and
church standing being sufficient assur-
ance of his fidelity. AS in the recent
case of the Chicago bank, the Phil
adelphia president had been for a long
time sapping the funds of the insti-
tuition to bolster wild outside specula-
ton Of a reckless promoter. And now
the brethren mourn for their lost wealth
and sadly ask themselves, Can such
things be?"
Such things can and will be, even in
an atmosphere with 100 per cent of
goodness, just so long as an appear
ance of honesty and fidelity is allowed
to pass inspection as the real thing.
The old adage that appearances are
deceptive" seems to be obsolescent in
these latter times. Stensland of Chi
cago and Nipple of Philadelphia posed
as unimpeachable personal characters,
the latter as devout church member,
but they were colossal robbers, just
the same.

SOUTH AMERICAN YELLows"

Our noisiest yellows are really far
behind the times. To their shame and
disgrace, they are beaten out of sight
by mere Dago newspapers. The Prensa
of Buenos Ayres has way of an
nouncing sensations that must make
our yellowest and reddest turn green
with envy. That Argentine newspaper
has in its office an immense siren. oper-
ated by steam, which is employed to
force the circulation, writes a corre-
spondent of the London Graphic, as
follows:
whenever there is an alarming dis
aster-the death of a crowned head or
other event of world wide interest
whoop goes the Prensas siren. A
deuce of a row, up and down the scale,
a defiant shrek, a gurgling groan, for a
varying period, according to the impor-
tance of the event, the horrid din re-
sounds throughout the city. The local
government exacts fine for this per-
formance, 500 per minute, 1 believe,
with a minimum of $780,"
OF course the advertisement is cheap
at the price, provided 1t does not run
for too many minutes. Naturally, the
siren is used only on great occasions.
The correspondent adds:
II heard the siren go the other after
noon for the first time. when the news
came through from San Francisco
Within a few minutes the Avenida, in
the neighborhood of the Prensa office,
and even the Plaza Mayo, was packed
with an excited crowd awaiting the
circulation of the news. The evening
papers followed suit, in feeble style. by
letting off bombs, and for the rest of
the afternoon the town was a perfect
pandemonium."
We turn over the excellent idea gratis
to our newspaper noise makers-and to
the police.-New York Evening Post

was dissolved by decree of the supreme
court OF the United States and the
properties fell back to the control OF
the Hill-Morgan combination, but only
after the Hartman interests had made
many millions out of their connection
with the enterprise:
Another surprise which Mr.. Hartman
afforded the country came when the af-
fairs of the Equitable Life Assurance
society were laid bare and it was found
that the $41S,000,OO0 of assets OF that
company had been on more than one
occasion made to contribute to the
furtherance of various projects requir-
ing the use of vast sums of ready
money.
Still another surprise. and one re-
vealing a trait I'm his character which
1t was not supposed that he possessed,
occurred on the occasion of the San
Francisco disaster, when Mr.. Harri-
man rushed to the aid of that city in
its distress and rendered IL so effec-
lively as to change completely the
opinions and feelings of the afflicted
people toward him.
Up to that time it was not supposed
by anybody that Mr. Hartman was
moved to any perceptible extent by
sentiments of humanity. Indeed. 1t
might be said that up to that time he
had succeeded In making himself one
of the most unpopular men in the whole
financial community OF the popular
feeling regarding him he has been per-
fectly aware, but it has not appeared to
give him any concern.
Hartman seems to have an utter
contempt for popular opinion. In man
ner he is brusque in the extreme. He
shows intolerance of other peoples
opinion and seems incapable of COM
pretending that any will but his own
should govern In the carrying out of
plans which may be under considerts-
tion. Possessed of remarkable quick
ness of perception and a determination
to have his own way which has brooked
no opposition, he has ridden rough shod
over the opinions and feelings of others
who believed they had as much right
to consideration as he. BY so doing
he has created hatred and enmty to
but he has moved along apparently
wholly Indifferent to the whole affair.
Mr.. Hartman is wholly a selfmade
man. His father was a clergyman, and
when the son began his active career
it was as a clerk in a brokers' Office in
Wall street. In til t vicinity his career
has been spent. There his great finan-
cial battles have been fought and his
great financial triumphs won. There
his latest surprise has been enacted and
his latest financial achievement is be-
ing canvassed with all the bitterness
Of criticism which most of his surprises
have evoked.

CHICAGO

"Undisciplined"--tha Is the word for
Chicago. 1t is the word Cor all the
progress of the victorian time. a
scrambiing, iil-mannered. undignified,
uninteligent development Of material
resources. Packingtown, for example,
is n place that feeds the world with
meat, that concentrates the produce oil
splendid countryside at a position OF
imperial advantage, and its owners
have no more sense, no better moral
quality, than to make It stink in the
nostrils Of any one who comes within
two miles of It; to make 1t center OF
distribution for disease and decay, an
aroma of shabby evasions and extra
profits q scene of brutal economic con-
fiict and squalid filthiness, offensive to
every sense. Ct wish / could catch the
soul Of Herbert Spencer and tether 1t
i'm Chicago for a while to gather fresh
evidence upon the superiority OF unfet-
tered individualistic enterprises TO
things managed by the state.)
Want of disciplined Chicago is one
hoarse cry for discipline. The reek and
scandal of the stock yards are really
only gigantic form Of that same quail
ity I'm American life that, in n minor
aspect, makes the sidewalk filthy. The
key to the peculiar nasty ugliness OF
those Schoellkopf works that def1le the
Niagara gorge is the same quality. The
detestableness of the elevated railroads
of Chicago and Boston and New York
has this in common. All that is ugly in
America, in Lancashire, in South and
East London, in the Pas de Calais, Is
due to this, to the showing unintelligent
proceedings of underbred and morally
obtuse men. Each man is for himself,
each enterprise; there is no order no
provision, no common and universal
plan. Modern economic organization Is
still as yet only thinking of emerging
from its first chaotic stage, the stage
of lawless enterprise and insanitary
aggregation, the stage of prospectors
camp. That is they key to it all.-H. G.
Wells in Harper's Weekly.
