COLLECTIONS
COME EASY
Men Gathering in Money on Bills
Find Much Better Conditions
Prevalent Than They Expected.

Collectors who have been engaged
this week in gathering in cash and
checks to cover accounts placed in
their hands on the first of the month
have not been having so strenuous a
time as was expected by a good
many.
On the other hand, most of the
collectors agree that they have been
pleasantly surprised at the results
which have attended their work. All
of them say that they have found
conditions mucn better than they ex-
pected. A point made is the excel
lent humor of the public and the
general optimism which is found to
prevail as to the future. Through
out the camp the people are CHEEKY
and free in expression of belief that
it is the best at this time and in fu-
ture prospects anywhere in the coun-
try. One collector said last night:
81 started out with a large number
of bills and am now practically
through with my collections. The
bills l have on hand unpaid are fewer
in number than ordinarily. Among
the hold overs there are none that
am doubtful about getting the
money later. 1t strikes me that is
pretty good in view of all we have
been hearing about hard times and
scarcity of money. That reminds me
that the number of checks given in
lieu of cash were few. Every check
| have received | know is perfectly
good. Money in Ely? Plenty of it.
More than that, the people are not
hesitating about spending it for their
needs. OF course there will be less
of it go for luxuries and for things
not absolutely needed than has been
spent in that way in the. past, but
there is going to be no severe scrimp-
ing In that respect, from all re-
ports that have been coming in, we
are a great deal better off than other
copper districts. The people now
here, l. want to say, are of much
better and far thriftier class than the
people you find in most mining dis
tricts. Most of them are located with
intention of staying and growing with
the camp and are getting on good
firm footing, making for mighty
valuable sort of population"

NO OCCASION
FOR ALARM
RUMORS THOUGHT TO HAVE DE-
CREASED SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
WITHOUT FOUNDATION-DI
THERIA SITUATION.

The diphtheria scare which has
taken hold in the city, though there
is at the present time but one case
under the care of physicians and has
been but two other cases during the
season, continues to hold sway. he
fact is evidenced by the continued
falling off in school attendance. This
became marked the first of the week
and has since grown daily.
The one diphtheria patient in the
city at this time is steadily improv-
ing and will probably soon be ready
for discharge. The other two cases
had in the city have both been dis
ion that there is no likelihood of an
epidemic With the discharge of the
patient now recovering the trouble
will likely be all over in the city.
The falling off in school attendance
is thought to be due to absurd re-
ports which were circulated the first
part of the week to the effect that
there were several cases among school
attendants. The school authorities
are in hope that the beginning of next
week will see these rumors at rest
and the schools going ahead with
out the interference which absence oil
pupils makes in conduct of the routine
work So far as danger is concerned
it is pointed out that children are
much more likely to contract disease
when they have the freedom of the
streets than when they are in school

House of Woman and Arrested

GOLDFIELD, Nov. S.-A sheriff S
posse arrested Ralph Gipple at 5:4o
this morning in the house of Mrs.
Mary K Harper, 903 North Sixth
street, and locked him up as the ac-
complice of V. l.. Kline, the jeweler
who was mortally wounded last night
while robbing the mill of the Nevada
Goldfield Reduction company of
amalgam. Gipple was until two
months ago the ticket agent and op-
orator at the depot of the Tonopah &
GoYdfield railroad and was an en-
ploye of the postoffice before he ac-
cepted a position with the railroad
company. He was about 25 years of
age and a telegraph operator
Before coming to Goldfield he was
employed on the Rio Grande at Green
River, Utah. He had always borne
a good reputation. Mrs. Harper, in
whose house Gipple took refuge after
jumping from second story window
at the reduction works, is well known
in Eureka and Provo, Utah, where she
resided for many years. Her parents
live at Spanish Fork. She was house

sheriff, has not regained conscious
ness since he was taken to the hos
pital and his death is but a matter
of time. He has been suspected OF
buying high grade ore at his jewelry
store and has been. under the espion-
age of the officers for some time. 1t
was learned that he and Gipple had
planned to rob the mill the first time
it was closed and in order to catch
the two work was stopped on the
night shift under pretext of fixing the
machinery.
The officers did not anticipate re-
sistance, but took no chances. When
the command was given "hands up, y
both Kline and Gipple reached for
their guns, which were lying by their
sides. The officers then fired. Kline
wore a derby hat and the bullet
which will cause his death struck the
brim near his temple and passed en-
tirely through his head. With the
blood streaming down his face he re-
tanned possession of his two guns, but
was too dazed to use them.

of Secretary Taft's stay in the Philip

originally planned is to permit the
secretary to discuss tariff matters
with the German foreign office and
reach home about December 10.
It was learned yesterday that a

IS CRUSHED
UNDER PIPE
Labor Foreman Leak of the Smell.
ter Sustains Injuries of Serious
Character in Accident at M'GiII

Edward Leak, general labor fore
man at the smelter at McGill, sus-
tanned such injuries yesterday morn
ing that outcome is yet a matter of
doubt. Internal hurts are thought
to have been sustained and until ex-
tent is developed the seriousness of
his condition cannot be determined
Several days must pass before time
for full development will have been
had.
That instannt death was not the
result of the accident is considered
by those who witnessed it as almost
marvellous. Mr. Leak was directing
the unloading of a large iron pipe
from wagon when the bed of the
latter gave away and turned over.
The big pipe moved instantly from
the bed of the wagon and rolling over
caught Leak beneath it before he
could jump out of the way. The
pipe carried him to the ground and
with the momentum it had rolled
nearly over the length of his body
The force of men engaged in the
unloading instantly went to the res
cue of the foreman and though the
weight of the pipe was almost be-
yond their strength succeeded in lift
ing it from the PROSTATE man within
fifteen seconds. Idea of the weight
of the pipe can be gathered from the
fact that fifteen of the sections make
a car load. 1t is being used in con-
struction of the smelter power plant
surplus water line.
After removal of the weight from
his body, Mr.. Leak was carried to his
home at the smelter, where medical
attendance was at once summoned.
1t was found on examination that he
had three broken ribs and that his
body was terribly bruised Last
night he was reported as resting as
easily as could be expected, with
general conditions favorable.

COUNTY MONEY IN CLOSED BANK
Put Treasurer Patterson i'm Awkward
PositiOn-His Bondsmen
Bank Directors.

A sensation was created in Carson
yesterday, says Tuesdays Virginia
Chronicle, when the commissioners
met to allow the October bills. Coun-
ty Treasurer Patterson was COM
PEELED to make the painful announce
ment that all of the county's money
was locked up in one of the tempo
rarily closed banks. He was then di-
rected to call upon his bondsmen for
the money, wher it developed that
they were the directors of the bank
in which he had deposited the money.
The amount is said to aggregate
about $4,000 He communicated
with his bondsmen to such effect that
5000 was shortly forthcoming from
Reno, to square the county's indebt-
edness for the month.

ment at the marked growth made in

held Tuesday last:
"The president regards the result
of the elections as extremely gratify-
ing. He has sent letter of hearty
congratulation to Mr.. Heney at San
Francisco. The victory in New Jer-
sey was precisely what happened nine
years ago, in the middle of President
McKinley's administration. He had

two years afterward the Republican
candidate for governor had $500, the
vote being cut down just as has hap

ury tariff commission is still abroad
gathering data desired by the Ameri-
can government regarding export and
allied conditions in Europe, it is un-
derstood here that President Roose-
Welt desires Mr.. Taft to personally
discuss certain tariff features of the
proposed convention with high Ger
man officials. Accordingly, it was
said yesterday that the president will
not make public the terms of the new
modus until after the secretary of
war shall have made report on the
subject to the executive.
Ordinarily, Mr.. Taft would not be
charged with a tariff mission, but in
this instance it is understood that the
secretary acts as the personal repre-
sentative of the president.

naturally, the incident was a good

RenoVatlng Treatment That Will Make
Them Look Like New.

Sheepskin rugs, according to an ex-
pert, may be washed at home with
comparative ease, when one knows
how. The skin or pelt side should not
be wet at all, and to prevent this the
rug is tackled around a stout barrel.
Choose sunny day, and with clean
scrubbing brush and plenty Of hot
suds in which good washing powder
has been dissolved scrub the rug thor
oughly. Afterward spray we'll with
clear water, using hose with show
er nozzle for this, if possible, in order
to have a strong, penetrating stream.
Leave the rug on the barrel to dry in
the sun, combing it out now and again
with a clean CurryComb, to prevent
mating of the wool The rug should
come out after this treatment beauti'
