Health Ordinance
Started i'm Reno.

The Board of Health of Reno
has passed an ordinance establish
ing a test room at the city hall,
where all fruits sold in the city
must be tested and all dairymen
must submit 10 tests of their milk
twice a month at least. Last
month there were fifty-three deaths
in Reno, twenty-five of which were
from typhoid fever, and the latter
was caused largely by impure milk
and other impure foods, according
to the health authorities. The
Board of Health is determined to
overcome these causes aud reduce
the disease to a minimum if pos
possible.

Fight.

The fight between Mike Schreck
and Marvin Hart, at Tonopah, will
take place at 4 o'clock on the after
noon OF the Goth. This was decid-
ed upon by Promoters Brown and
Johnson last Thursday, the idea
being that it would be the best part
of the day. The referee has not
yet been decided upon, but that
matter was probably arranged last
Thursday. The choice will lie be-
tween Otto Floto, Abe Pollock,
George Siler, Eddie Graney and

BEvERIDGE ONCE HAD
NARROWEST OF CALLS

Albert j. Beveridge, senator from
Indiana, spent several of his adde's
cent years in Kansas, driven to the
wild by i'll health and overwork at his
law studies. One day in small town
he butted in and broke up a lynching
party.
A stage driver had accused a man
he was known to dislike of having
stolen a mule. Beveridge thought it
was put-up job, and with all the en-
thusiasm of budding lawyer argued
that the evidence was insufficient to
convict. it being case of one mans
word against another's. When he
pointed out, moreover, that the evil
dence of the accuser was prejudiced,
because of his dislike for the &C
cused, the crowd saw the point, and
the lynching was called on.
The stage driver determined on re-
venge, and started to pick a quarrel
Win oSFCliuBC mdiiy Tue otd6O
driver pulled his gun, and the future
senator closed his eyes. waiting for
the bullet that would cut down his
fair young life. But for some reason
the weapon was not discharged.
Curiosity finally led Beveridge to
open his eyes, and he discovered that
the would-be murderer had paused be-
cause another man had the drop on
him. A murderer, cut-throat and all
round bad man whom Beveridge had
nursed through serious illness had
nterfered just in time to prevent the
United States senate from being de-
priyed of one Of its future ornaments.

BIG PHOS-
PLATE DEAL
IN WHICH FARMERS AssocIA-
TIoNs or THE SOUTH ARE
INTERESTED, TENTA-
lively CLOSED.
viii Mine 100000 Tons a Year For a
Long Term of Years.

Representatives of the farmers as
sociations of Georgia and South Caro-
| lima have been in Maury county fol
the past few days making tentative
contracts for a large amount OF phos
phate rock for use by the members OF
i these associations. These farmers
associations have a very large mem
bership in the states named and the
organization is spreading to other
states, so that in time it is thought
the entire south will be embraced in
one large association. The coming
of these representatives is in the ma
ture of a protest against the high
prices charged for commercial ferti-
lizer. The farmers associations pro-
pose to use large amount of crude
ground phosphate rock hereafter, and
to mix the remainder of the rock
mined themselves, using cotton seed
meal is a mixer. They claim that
large part of the mixer used by the
fertilizer factories is of no value as
soil food, and in fact is to some ex-
tent damaging, yet the farmers have
to pay for it.
They propose to make large con- !
tracts for term of years on a royalty
basis and to build all spur tracks,
dryers, crushers, ETC. themselves and
mine the rock. The representatives
came to Maury some weeks since and
looked the field over. They then re-
turned and reported the result of their
to their associations. In
looking over the field, they did SO with
a view of finding at least million
tons of rock in one field and easily
accessible, but not all the property

IN CLASSIC FIELDS

The idea of the American pillow
turning up the classic soil of Asia
Minor is quite poetic, and is well
worth the following complaisant notice
from the Louisville Herald: 1.-THE
American pillow is now turning up the
soil of Asia Minor. In twenty years
$4,000 American plows have been
sold in the land of Priam, Paul and
Diana Of the Ephesians. The lesser
Asians, finding the American pillow so
useful and so durable, now call for
breaking plows, cultivators, disks,
harrows, seeders, drills, planters,
rakes, mowers, binders, threshers, en-
gines, wagons, carriages, harness
equipment saddles, carpenters tools
and all kinds of household utensils
and furnishings
But while the foregoing tickles our
vanity and appeals to ire poesy with

tressing thought that American farm
ers are being robbed for the benefit
of these lesser Asians. Every one, or
nearly every one, of those 10000
American plows have been sold to
the farmers of the land of "Priam,
Paul and Diana" at price 20 per
cent less than the American manufac-
-urers of these plows charged their
own fellow citizens. There may be

blow in classic fields, but conditions

A PIRATES

Autumn, when the salmon have as
cended to the lakes, the birds resort
to the sea. They appear to have fond
ness for elder duck. Stationed near

with a background of cliff, the color
of which assimilates with that of the
eagles plumage, he sits motionless

of food but not until all have gone
under together does the eagle make

spot and circles over 1t close to the
water With sharp eyes he can de-
tect the birds before they reach the
surface. At first he is not usually
successful. for as soon as they become

they dive again instantly. But In

MAX BATES, WHO MYSTERIOUS

CENTREVILLE. Tenn. Aug. C.
The temperance of Max Bates at the
home of his brother, Bob Bates, near
Shady Grove, after an absence Of for
ty-one years. during which his family
had considered him dead. has caused
something of a sensation in that sec

their terrible suspense. yielded not
word as to the fate or whereabouts
of the missing boy. The parents fond
ly cherished the hope that some day
their wandering boy would again
cross the threshold of home and take
his accustomed place in the family.
They were haunted with misgivings as
to the fate of their son, and went TO
the grave years ago despairing or
ever meeting him. His disappearance
was talked of in the community as a

death somewhere. The years crept |
slowly by, and the strange occurrence
ceased to be discussed, unless by the |
immediate family, who could but car.
ry the memory of such a strange |
event to the grave.
After the death of the mother and
father more than twenty years ago,
the estate was partitioned among
three sons, John, Bard and Bob Bates,
the latter securing the old home place.
OF course, Max did not figure in the
division, as he was believed to be
dead.

KENTUCKY RATS
SLAUGHTER PIG
HoRoEs OF RODENTS CREATING
GREAT HAVOC IN MANY
PARTS or THAT
STATE.

GLASGOW. KY. Aug. 6.-Neyer in
the history Of this State have rats
been so plentiful or destructive as
the present summer. From many sec
tions come reports of damages by the
rodents that almost surpass belief.
Recently in Adair county rats at
tackled, killed and deyoured four pigs
that were in a field with their moth.
er. Corn, wheat and fowls have suf
fered from the ravage of these pests
No one can give a satisfactory expla-
nation of where they come from or
why they are so numerous and more
savage than usual. In some sections
SO very destructive have they become
to corn, wheat and other grains, and
so many chickens and fowls have
been killed, that it is not improbable
the farmers of this county will follow
the examples set by those of Nicholas
and Bourbon counties and set apart
a day for a general slaughter of rod
ents. In several counties prizes have
been offered to those who bring the
largest number of rat scalps. Hun
ters encouraged in this way have
hundreds of rats, but it |
apears the war waged on the rodents
in the counties where they first be-
came pest has only caused them to
lee to other counties.
