SCHOOLS !.
IllEE-()PIEE: EN-

County Health Officer Gilchrist
states that the schools of the city may
reopen again next Wednesday. A
full investigation as to the smallpox
scare shows that there is no further
danger of the disease, and according
ly the school board has ordered the
schools to reopen on that date.
There are some few that criticized
the action Of the health officer in
closing down the schools and the
Daily World for publishing the facts
as they existed.
Acting on the theory that s'in case
of doubt, take the safe side" the
schools were closed. Who shall say
that the action was not a proper one?

INTEREST DEEPENS
IN RAILROAD BILLS
Proposed Legislation Affecting
Transportation Lines Chief
Theme at Carson
SPECIAL CoRREsnoNDENcE.

Carson, Feb. - The railroad bills
now before the State Legislature are
the chief subject OF discussion here.
A number of railroad officials have
gathered at the capitol TO watch the
course of events. General Traffic
Director j. C. Stubbs of the Hartman
system is here; Freight Traffic Mana
ger H. A. Jones, who is the next in
eral Freight Agent Reeves, and others
are: General Passenger Agent Burley,
President Brock Of the Tonopah &
Goldfield road; c. o. Whittemore,
chief counsel for Las Vegas & Tono-
pah railroad; d. X. Gray, general
agent for the Oregon Short Line, and
several other minor officials.
Some picturesque stories are being
sent out relative to the situation here.
Here is sample, with it's absurdity
branded upon the face Of it:
Certain legislators who were in Reno
yesterday stated that if victory could
be secured in no other way, anti-rail-
road senators and assemblymen would
be kidnapped and kept away from the
legislative halls until the voting was
over. A movement is now on foot, it
is said, to have several hundred de-
termined men from Goldield, Tonopah,
Reno and other points in Nevada camp
on the capitol grounds the day of the
final battle and see that men who are
against the railroad legislation are pre-
vented from entering the capitol and
voting
Fake mining and other corporations
in Nevada will be fatally affected, il is
thought, by the enforcement of the
law which requires al such concerns
doing business in the state to publish
annual STATE ments, detailing the
amounts received and expended in the
year and stating the work for which
all moneys are spent. The measure
passed the senate without debate and
with only four dissenting votes.
Adoption of the reclamation idea in
the acquisition of the public lands of
the State is suggested in the senate
bill which WAS introduced hy Senator
Hunter. Instead of the old twenty
year period for getting the tirle to land,
the time is extended to twenty-five
years; and instead of six per cent in
terest on the amount due from year to
year, the interest is provided for at the
rate Of four per cent. Further change
is made in the amendment by the pay
ment down of twenty cents an acre in
stead of twenty-five.
For heroism in capturing an escaped
lunatic in 1905 when he was injured for
| life by three bullets from the mad
mans gun. A. M. Jones, former
deputy sheriff Of Storey County was
awarded an appropriation of 81, coo in
the assembly. Jones spent over a
year in accepting medical attention for
his wounds, but it is thought by his
physicians that he will never fully
recover.
The state fish commission is at last
established and recognized by the State
as worthy of appropriation, The SEN
ate passed the bill providing for the
payment of S1G31 to George T. Mills,
E. B. Yerington and Senator Corvell,
the sum being spent during the last
year for the establishment of the hatch
cries in the State and for filling many
of the streams with trout

Memphis, Tcnn.-A report reached

Just north OF Minter City, which for
boldness and insolence was never sur
passed by Rube Burrows In the days OF

Minter City, were ordered to produce
s25 for livery hire. The ladies had
hired a buggy from q negro man at
Philip, Miss, early in the morning
and had driven to Minter City. They
said that they had only s5, and when
this was rendered to the men, one Of
them cursed and swore and threw the
money on the floor. They then left the
train.
The ladies had been collecting money
for an orphanage, and it is believed
that the hold-up men had knowledge OF
