HAROLD OTIS.

Between the ages Of fifteen and forty Eve, the
time when womanhood begins and motherhood
ends, it is estimated that the aggregate term OF
woman's suffer- ng is ten years, Ten years out
of thirty one third of the best part of a wo-
mans life sacrificed Think of the enormous
loss of time! But time is not all that is lost
Those years of suffering steal the bloom from
the cheeks, the brightness from the eyes, the
fairness from the form. They write their rec
ord in many crease and wrinkle. what a
boon then to woman, is Dr. Pierce's Favorte
Prescription. 1t promotes perfect regularity,
dries up facilitating drains, heals liberation,
cures female weakness and establishes the
delicate womanly organs in vigorous and per-
manent health. No other medicine can do for
woman what is done by DR., Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.

THIRD TRIAL RESULTED
IN DEFENDANTS FAVOR
Famous Diamond Ring Case Settled
for the Time-Will BE
Appealed.

The third trial proved charm
and the famous diamond ring case
was settled for the time being, any
way. Twice the trial of the suit of
II. II. Mizen against Alexander re-
suited in disagreement, but yester-
day the jury was out only five min
utes, when it returned with ver-
dict in favor of the defendant.
The details of the diamond ring
case have been published several
times. 1t seems that Mizen possessed
a diamond ring valued at $3.50 and
that he loaned it to one Marshal
Heathman. Heathman, it Is said
pawned the ring with Alexander for
1925. When Mizen made demand
for the piece of iewelry, he was in
formed that he would have to pay
the money as well at $3.50 month
interest.
Attorneys Jurich and Eddy repre-
sented the plaintiff and Attorney
Coleman the defendant. The plain
tiff's attorney have signified their in
tention of appealing the case to the
district court.

POSSE TRACES THE
TWO C0BRE ROBBERS
FOLLOWED A DISTANCE OF
EIGHT MILES-INDIANS NOW
IN PURSUIT.

A special dispatch to the News last
night from Cobre was to lne effect
that Henry Girvin, who Joined the
posse at that station, had returned
after trailing the two men who held
up the saloon and shot the barten-
der, Ben Gillian, distance of eight
miles They trailed the robbers to
where they had crossed the track
Two Indian trailers then started
in pursuit and followed the two as
far as the top of the hill. 1t is sup
posed they were making for either a
Western Pacific camp or the Nevada
Northern, presumably the former.
1t is reported that English blood
hounds have been sent for and as
soon as they arrive from Salt Lake,
will be put on the trail of the fugi-
tives.
Gillian was formerly the turnkey
at the state prison at Walla Walla,
Wash. 1t is thought that one of the
robbers was an eX-convict and that he
had grudge against the former
turnkey. j. G. Hilman, the owner
of the saloon, will leave for Walla
Walla with the body of the deceased.
A gentleman in Ely who was well
acquainted with the Gillian family,
states that the dead bartender was
warned some time ago that he had
better leave, as the saloon was go
ing to be blown up.

STRIKING AUSTR|ANS
PLACED UNDER ARREST
TROUBLE ORIGINATED OVER
THEIR DEMAND FOR AN
EIGHT-HOUR DAY.

RHYOLITE, New, Aug. 15.-
Fifty-three striking steel layers on
the Las Vegas & Tonopah railroad
were arrested yesterday by four dep
uties at Bonnie Glare, As miles north
of Rhyolite, and lodged in the Jail
at Rhyolite. The strikers are Aus
trians, and it is believed to be the
largest body of men ever included in
an arrest made in Nevada.
The trouble originated over the
demand of the men, who are mem
bers of the Industrial Workers of the
World, for an eight-hour day. They
claim to have been working nine, ten
and eleven hours. They walked out
at 3 O'Clock yesterday and refused
to allow others to take their places.
Two deputy sheriffs, c. f. Jackson
and George b. Sway, arrived on the
scene from Tonopah. John Casey
hurried from Rhyolite and Tom
Oevine from Beatty at an early hour
this morning. One striker showed
signs to resistance and was dubbed
into submission by Deputy Devine,
who welded a revolver. Beyond
tnis there was no violence.
The town is much excited tonight
over the arrests. The labor organi-
cations are circulating petitions for
the removal of Deputy Casey, who is
a member of the miners union, and
sentiment among the union class Is
very bitter The strikers are now
on trial in the justice court.

cry endeavor to make the affair sue
cess, and everything lends to that
end.
The Smelter nine has shown the
right spirit in their games with Oily

The attendance on Sunday should
be large, and the boys at the Smelter
will be sure to come through in like
measure.
And the Gun club shoot will also
be a feature of the day.
The meet at Lane City Sunday last
was not satisfactory to the members,
hence, a new trial will be necessary
and all the members are practicine
hard for the next one.
Judge Cartwright now wears the
medal, and next Sunday will show
as to whether he will retain that
right.
The railroad company will furnish
everything that will conduce to the
comfort of the paSSengerS and the
day will prove to be most enjoyable

PREPARING FOR A
BIG CELEBRATION
UNION MEN HELD ANOTHER
MEETING LAST NIGHT AND
NAMED COMMITTEES.
ARE TO HAVE An ELABORATE PROGRAM
One Member from Each Union Ap.
pointed to Make Arrangements
for the Sports.

That the union men intend to OBJ
serve Labor day is evident by the
manner in which the general COM
mittee, consisting of representatives
of the various unions has taken up
matters. Another meeting of the
committee was held last night at the
Electricians hall and considerable
progress was made in the plans for
the celebration.
The meeting was called to order at
8 o'clock by George Teattian, the
chairman, who announced that the
session had been called for the pur-
pose of obtaining finances for Labor
day and for making arrangements for
the program. 1t was moved and car
ried that a committee be appointed
to prepare the official program. The
follOwing-named were appointed on
the committee: ]. r. Lucas (chair-
mani, Frank J. Cox and II. w. Mid
dleton. The matte rof arranging the
program was left entirely in theil
hands The committee discussed the
affair and decided to get up some
thing quite elaborate.
The committee on sports consists
of one member from each union, as
follows
Sam Erstad, carpenter; ]. b
Bushnell, painter; Henry Barton, bar.
ber; Louis lsmay, brick layer;
George Arber, cook; Phil O'Rourke
printer; J. +. Slattery, miner, and
l.. M. Barnes, electrician.
1t was ruled by the chairman that
the program committee secure Ora
ham hall and the skating rink fol
dancing, as dancing is to be one OF
the big features of the celebration.
The next meeting of the committee
will be held next Tuesday evening al
o'clock at the same han. 1t is
thought that by that time each com.
mittee will be able to report quite
fully and that nearly all the arrange
ments for one of the biggest celebra
tions in the towns history will have
been just about completed.

REEVES GAVE HOSE
COMPANY A SMOKER
ABOUT THIRTY PARTICIPATED
IN THE VERY PLEASANT
AFFAIR.
THE FIREMEN WILL GIVE A DANCE
To Raise Funds for the Company
Committee Appointed to Make
All Arrangements.
THE FIREMEN WILL GIVE A DANCE

Captain Reeves and Lieutenant
Rigsby of Hose Company No. l
gave a smoker last night to
the members and few invited
guests. 1t was an informal affair,
given in order to enable the boys to
become better acquainted and to free
ly discuss the best methods for put
ting the fire department on sub
stantial basis and for obtaining the
best results in protecting the city
from conflagration.
There were twenty or thirty who
assembled around the inviting spread
daintily arranged on long table.
Before the task of satisfying the in
ner man was taken up Mr. Reeves
called upon several of those present
for few remarks. 1t was the gen.
eral sentiment of those present that
an efficient fire department was one
of the most essential parts of the
city government. What little expert
ence Ely has had with fires has been
enough to demonstrates the need of
ed that companies that were well
drilled and understood the location
of the fire hydrants and the like
the entire population after blaze
once got under headway. The aim of
the department is to get fire un-
der control in the quickest time pos
sible, thereby reducing the danger of
severe conflagration. The friendly
rivalry between the companies serves
to make each more efficient and
thereby improves the entire volunteer
department.
Mr.. Reeves was called upon by his
company. He stated that his one
idea was to protect the city and that
every fireman should aim to become
as efficient as possible. 1t is a time
when petty jealousies and troubles
should be cast aside and all work in
harmony for the good of the city. He
was heartily appauded for the posi-
tion he took.
After the guests had done justice
to the tasty repast they met in an
other room and discussed means for
raising funds for the company. The
subject was well discussed and it was
finally decided to give dance in the
near future, the money cleared there
by to be devoted to the needs of Hose
Company No. 1. A committee was
appointed as follows to make ar
rangements for the affair: Henry
Porch, Charles Reeves and Mr.. Bush

Some one jocularly remarked that

laughed Porch.

some one remarked.

that all who don't work also have to
pay a similar tax"
The question of solving Halls puz-
zle broke up the crowd and all de-
parted after expressing themselves as
we'll pleased with the evenings enter
tainment and anxious to help the fire
department along.

NORTH POLE, Aug. 15.-Last
night Peary camped in his airship,
Tie Roosevelt, within l 5 miles of the
North Pole. He watched all night
long and says that the sights at the
pole were something beyond descrip-

of the most beautiful hues, while
seven stars blaZened forth like SO
many diamonds. A midnight sun ad-
ded to the grand effect and winged
seals, their wings covered with cleo
trio sparks, coursed through the sky
in all directions. For two hours it
rained gold, the yenow metal streak
ing the atmosphere at it fell on its
way to the earth. Now and then the
heavens parted and the scenes were
beyond description. In fact, there
are no words in the English language
with which the sights could be prop
erly described, SO the writer will at
a later date express them in French
Peary reached the pole at 23
o'clock (North Pole time) and was
about to plant Old Glory on the top
of the pole, when the following sign
caught his eyes:
