proofs and absolute knowledge.
The testimony of DR.. Hepner while
on the stand in the Lily Benson case
regarding Kopple alias Whitson was
particularly severe and german to the
case in point as representing the
character of the man, but from
purely legal standpoint the Appeal
does not regard the testimony as ad-
missable as evidence in the Benson
case, and for this reason we decline
to give it here. The people of Reno,
however, who were in court know
what DR.. Hepner's opinion of the man
was under oath and they must realize
that Governor Sparks had good reason
not to recognize such character
less adventurer.
1t is now urged that the partners
selected by him for the Publicity
Board, were ignorant of his real
character This is probably the most
charitable construction that can be
| placed upon it.
This defense, if true, merely stamps
the Reno editors as merely fools in
stead OF worse, but as they have de-
Tended the man through thick and
thin, have taken his lying affidavits
against the word Of Governor Sparks
and covered up the real reason of his
leaving Reno when the facts were
easily accessible, they must be re
garded as original pals Of kopplt
alias Whitson, or accessories aftel
the fact.
The copy of the legal documen
establishing his former identity a
Edmond A. Kopples husband OF Ann
kopple, can be seen at this office

She Lands in Good Shape on Miss
Edith Howe

Last week in Reno the play OF
Mrs. Wiggs OF the Cabbage Patch

was a little joke went with the play
which might interest Carson people.
Miss Jennie Torreyson was cast
for Mrs. Wigs and Miss Edith
Howe played Miss Hazey. 1t is need
less to say that they both made an
admirable presentation of the roles
and were loudly applauded. They
played the parts well, but they play

from a spirit of mischief did not

should and Miss Torreyson had to
work her broom and make a lot

/. The situation here is rapidly ap
preaching a climax. 1t would not
surprise anyone if the beginning Of
the end came this week. There is no
confidence placed in anything that
might occur at the meetings of the
miners. Ii anything should happen
to be done, it will be viewed with suS-
! picion by the decent element, for
there has been SO many attempts at
hoodwiniing that people are tired
Of the game.

of events believes for a moment that

discussion by a number of young women

1T is quite impossible" said Edith Com

the necessaries, let alone the luxuries.
1.-The big majority of girls who become
teachers in New York have been educated
at the cost Of immense sacrifices on the
part of their parents. The latter have de-
MED themselves even the necessaries in
order to give their daughters good educa-
tions And when the latter do finally get
to work they should be in a position at
least TO pay their parents adequate board
But this they cannot do.
Salaries have not changed since 1898, but
the cost Of living has increased 60 per cent.
Some say that the New York teachers are
the best paid in the country l don't think
so, but even granted that this is true the
fact remains that New York is the highest
priced place to live in the country.

FrieEe Posters.

New uses have been found for the pic
torial frlezes originally designed for child
ren's playrooms and bedrooms.
When a pictorial frieze is made up of
a series of separate pictures each picture
is on a separate length OF paper. These
lengths. complete in themselves as pic
lures, are called frieze posters.
They may be put in narrow wooden
frames in enamelled black. white, red or
whatever color best harmonizes with pic
ture and room. Thus they may be used
as ordinary pictures. They may be set in
mantel pieces or door panels.
The newest fancy is to set them at the
top of the leaves OF screens. A three
leaved screen in enameled white wood
comes with Dickens posters set in the
top OF each leaf over a little hanging cur
tain OF Nile green chintz or a rod set in
just under the poster frame, The screenG
in the posters are fun of bright dashes OF
color and spirit.
One of the prettiest OF the new posters
Is a picture Of a picnic party. A white
cloth spreads over a delicate green lawn
An array of good fare covers the cloth.
