LOST SISTER FOUND
AFTER MANY YEARS
Was Kidnapped Over Twenty Six
Years Ago and Had Been
Given Up For Dead
SPECIAL To The NEWS

Twin Bridges, Mont Feb. ID. =
Richard Morrow, who lives near here,
has discovered that a young woman
who applied to him for employment is
a sister who was kidnapped from the
home of her parents in Oregon, about
twenty-seven years ago, and has since
then been mourned by her family as
dead. She was Kidnapped when only
two years old by man named Michael
Slattery who deserted her within few
months.
She was reared in an orphanage and
several years ago came to Montana.
She has gone under the name of Emma
Slattery since she was kidnapped.
When she told Morrow her name he
instantly recalled that it was man
named Slattery who had kidnapped his
litter sister, and recognizing at once
the striking facial resemblance the
Young woman bore to his mother, he
began an investigation which quickly
resulted in his identifying her as his
sister.

EDISON WILL BE
A PURE SCIENTIST
He Will Abandon Business and
Experiment for Ills Own
Amusement
SPECIAL To THE News

New York, Eeb. 14.-Thomas Alva
Edison, the inventor, will celebrate his
fifty-ninth birthday anniversary to-
morrow. He told reporter who Wis
tied his home at Llewellyn Park today,
that from now on he intends to amnse
himself, and explained his meaning
as follows:
"For forty-five years l have been
making experiments with electricity,
but all those years have been tnrning
these experiments to commercial value
so fast that / have not had chance
to play with electricity for the fun of
the thing. But from tomorrow on |
am going to give up the commercial
end of it and work in my laboratory
purely as scientist. That will be the
pleasure | have long been promising
myself. y
Edison said he had note books, filled
with olews to possible new discoveries.
He had often come across phenomena
that invited experiment, but did not
have time to turn aside from the work
in hand and only made notes of them.
Now he is going back over all these
notes.

BILL CREATES R. R.
COMMISSIONERS
Railroad Measure Sponsored By
Nevada Commercial League In
trOduced in Assembly
SPECIAL To THE NEws

Reno, Feb. a. The railroad bill on
which the great fight will be made has
been introduced in the assembly by
Assemblyman Syphus of Lincoln. This
is the measure that is sponsored by the
Nevada Commercial League, and has
been prepared by Senator Boyd in con-
junction with members of the league
and consulting attorneys. 1t provides
for commission to be appointed by a
board consisting of the governor, lieu
tenant governor and attorney general.
There will be three commissioners,
one to receive salary of $1,000 "A year
and the other two $500 year. The
secretary of the railroad commissioners
will get 81, 800 year.
The bill gives the commissioners
power to commence an investigation
into the affairs Of any railroad in the
State after ten days notice. They
will be able to subpoena witnesses and
examine the books of the railroads.
The bill is voluminous one and its
object is to regulate the management
of the railroads. Fines of from $100 to
$40, 600 may be imposed for the viola
ton of its provisions.
A general canvass of both houses in
dicates the passage Of the bill.
The bill was referred to the Railroad
Committee in the Assembly, and will
probably be reported soon.
In connection with the Railroad bill
resolution aimed at lobbying was in
troduced in the Assembly making it a
crime for any hired lobbyist to attempt
to influence the vote of any members
within the capitol.
One new wrinkle at the Capitol has
been the receipt of anonymous let
ters by many of the legislators, in
which an attack on the suggestion of
an crgani2atio of State militia has
been made. The letters severely criti-
cize Governor Sparks. The anonymous
communications claim that he has de-
parted from the statements that he
made during the campaign.
To these letters the Governor has
made singing reply, which he has
sent to the President of the Miners
Union in Goldfield. The Governor de-
nounces the anonymous writer as
coward and a scoundrel, and offers
500 from his own pocket for informa-
ton as to the authors identity. The
Governor states that he is now and has
at all times been opposed to State
militia, believing that the local author
tiles are competent to handle any stu
alton that may arise. The letters have
created quite stir among the legisla-
icTS

MRS. BACON'S DEATH
CAUSES SORROW IN RENO

Reno, Feb. IA. The news of the
death of Mrs. B. +. Bacon in New
York caused sorrow among her friends
in Reno. She was one of the very
early residents of the State, having
come here when child from her ma
tive State of Maine She resided il
Carson and Reno until few years ago,
when she moved to New York with her
children, Mr.. Walter Jordan and
Gerald f. Bacon.
Thirty-five years ago she and Mr..
Bacon were married at Boca, Cal,
where he was an active business man,
and three children were born to them,
Marcia, now Mrs. Jordan, Gerald and
Hazel The latter died in Reno in
1894, and is buried in the Masonic
cemetery. The two former and her
husband survive her.
Mrs. Bacon's mother still lives in
Reno with her daughter, Mrs. R.
l.. Fulton. In addition her brother,
Allen C. Bragg of the WHITE PINE
NEWS, Mrs. VIM. r. Jenvey, wife of
Arch-Deacon Jenvey of New Jersey,
and Mrs. James E. Dealey of Fresno,
are left to mourn her loss
Mrs. Bacon was devoted Christian,
a faithful and devout woman in all the
relations Of life.
Mrs. Bacon will be buried today in
Woodlawn Cemetery, New York City.
A noble woman has passed to her re-
ward. She had lived useful life and
the world was made happier and bet
ter by her having lived. She per-
formed every duty incumbent upon her
well and faithfully. The agoniZing
grief of her immediate family is some
what softened by the knowledge that
Mrs. Bacon led pure life and that her
reward will be commensurate with a
life well spent.

came down on the train to close deals
or to attend to other business were
