GRITTY TEN-YEAR-OLD BOY.
Rides Thirty Miles With Broken Hip
Joint Before Letting 1t BE Known.

CARSON CITY, Nov. 7.-Melvin
Phillips, the 10-year-old son of John
s. Phillips, of this city, holds the
medal for grit in this vicinity. With
broken hip-joint he rode from
Mountain House, station on the
stage road from Bridgeport to Car
son, a distance of about thirty miles,
and made no complaint of his injury,
until, when several hours after his
arrival at Carson, his relatives no
ticed that his leg was getting stiff,
and had him examined by surgeon.
1t will be several weeks before the
lad can regain the use of thelimb.
He sustained the injury while
climbing upon the stage, just after it
got into motion leaving Mountain
House on the trip from Bridgeport.
His foot slipped on the brake, and
he fell before the rear wheel, which
passed over his groin and then over
the right arm above the elbow. How
that limb escaped a fracture is mys-
terry. There we're seven passengers
and 500 pounds of freight on the We
hicle when it passed over the lads

Of THE CASH
Does Not Appear to be Scarcity in
District Says Merchant. Import.
. ant Sale of Rail to McEIIin Mine.

Our sales are for cash and it gives
an opportunity to judge pretty well
as to the extent to which the circu-
lation of coin in the district has been
affected by the recent financial situa-
tion," said Assignee ID. w. Ellis of
the Meloy Mercantile yesterday.
'You have been around here near
ly every day and know that we have
been having crowds. Well our sales
have corresponded with the crowds.
Though there has been a good deal
of talk around about scarcity of cash
there has been little In evidence here
to demonstrate anything of the kind.
Money has seemed to be pretty free.
We have been doing big business "
The value of advertising in the
News was paid tribute by Mr.. Ellis
in the course of his talk. Yesterday
morning locals which he is running
in the paper were worded to attract
the attention of mining interests,
which had not participated in pur-
chases from the Meloy company stock
to much extent to that time. Yester-
day this advertising, however,
brought in customers for mining sup
plies. Among the sales resultant was
one of 10000 pounds of 7 rails for
the McEllin mines, purchase that
tells of the steady continuance of de-
velopment at those properties, where
it is understood very encouraging re-
suits are being had from. the devel-
opment under way.

H. c. RADFORD
LEFT FORTUNE
Body Sent to Family in California
This Morning for BuriaI...Death
Due TO Heart Failure.

1t developed yesterday that Henry
C. Radford, who was found dead on
a cot in his Tent Lodging house in
Ely Wednesday evening, was man
of considerable wealth and of high
standing in fraternal organizations.
The fortune which he leaves to his
family, residing in Santa Paula, Cal,
is estimated at 100000, this being
the value put upon holdings he had
here in stocks, realty and in cash, to
a considerable amount, on deposit
with the First National bank. 1t is
believed that in addition to this Tor
tune the deceased had important
realty holdings in California, from
where he came here about eighteen
months ago.
During his time of residence here
Mr.. Radford became well acquainted
throughout the district and the news
of his death came as much OF a
shock. Yesterday it was brought out
aat he had been feeling badly for
several days, though he had not at
any time considered that he was sur
fering more than a slight indisposl-
ton, which his friends attributed
largely to worry he had allowed him.

financial conditions in the country
The wife of the deceased was
reached yesterday at Santa Barbara,
Cal, through a telegram sent by Dis
trict Attorney G. A. Eddy, who mad
known Radford for sixteen years,
Mrs. Radford replied with a telegram
instructing that the body be sent to
her at their home in Santa Paula and
shipment will be made this morning.
Inquest was held over the body
Yesterday afternoon, when Coroner
Cartwright and jury composed of
George Jackson, Den Glen, e. O'Con-
ners, Fred Davidson, J. R. West and
Charles Coed inquired into the cause
of death. The jury found that de-
ceased had a wife, three daughters
and a son living at Santa Paula, and
that death was caused from heart

CARE
ABOUT WATER
Physician Declares That Ordinary
Precautions Will Prevent Epi.
denies Here This Winter.

1.-THE advice of the News against
the use of well water in lily said a
physician to reporter yesterday,
'was most excellent and cannot be
too strongly urged.
Conditions. for health here this
winter are now very good. If the
people will only exercise proper pre-
cautions in taking ordin;ry care OF
themselves and in seeing that they
do not take impurities into their sys-
TENS through the use of bad water
we should escape the pres ence OF cpl
denies.
1.-The Ely Water company supply
of water is good. | have made nu-
merous tests of it at different sea-
sons of the year and always found
it free from impurities. The well
water in Ely, however, is dangerous
and should not be used at all Those
who do use it, and | do not believe
there are many at this time, are en-
dangering their health with every
mouthful they take. AT the very
least, if it must be used, 1t should
be thoroughly boiled before taken
into the system. Care about the
water taken into the system is one
of the most important of health rules.
With pure water only in use we
should not be bothered here with
diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid or
other epidemics. Now and then a
case may crop out but with the regu-
lations that are enforced in cases OF
contagious diseases there is little dan
ger of epidemics getting started on us
if the people, as have said, will only
help through taking ordinary precau-
tiOns"

NOTHING IN REPORT.
Oregon Short Line Continues Control
of Trackage i'm Nevada.

The report that the Southern Pa
cific has assumed control of the rail
road division from Sparks to Ogden
and that the reign of the Oregon
Short Line in Nevada hal come to
an end, is most emphaticN'ly denied
in official circles by men who ought
to know. No official notice of the
purported change has been received at
the Sparks offices, nor have the men
working under the Short Line mini
agement been instructed to forward
their reports to the head offices Of
the Southern Pacific at San Fran
cisco, in place of the head Offices of
the Oregon Short Line at Salt Lake.
An operator at Ogden whom it is said
was gossiping with other operators
about the Union Pacific resuming
control of the division from Ogden,
Utah, to Green Water, Wyo., and su-
perseding the Oregon Short Line, is
blamed for sending out unsubstanti-
ated messages about the Southern Pa
cifc taking control.

Gold Engagements and
Relief of Trust Com
panies Responsible.
IMPROVEMENT MARKED
Looks As If Affairs We're Perma.
nentIy Righted..-Attitude Of
France Has Been Of Great Aid.

NEW YORK, Nov. Gold en-
gagements were further increased to-
day and the stock market rose buoy
antly in recognition of this and the
cessation of runs on the trust COM
panies.
The announcement by Mr.. King,
president of the Union Trust COM
pany, early in the morning, that an
agreement had at last been reached
by which the Trust Company of Amer
lea and the Lincoln Trust company
were to deposit their stock in the
hands of committee of the trust
company presidents and in considera-
tion of this were to receive all the
support required, finally cleared the
air in regard to the trust company
situation.
Grave apprehension existed before
the termination of the conference at
Mr.. Morgan's S house at O'Clock this
morning that an agreement in regard
to the two trust companies would not
be reached and that they might be
subjected to a run too strong for their
impaired resources. Now that this
danger is removed it is believed that
the situation will gradually simmer
down, with the continuous arrival of
gold, until the stringency is convert
ed into the plethora of reserve money
in banks which usually follows a
crisis.
Additional gold engagements were
announced today of 1,000,0 on ac-
count of Lazard Freres and $500, 900
for Montreal This brings up the to-
tai gold engagements for America on
tile recent movement TO $37, ,50O,O 900,
which would afford the amount re-
quired for legal reserve against de-
posits of $150,000. 900. The gold
which arrived yesterday was depos-
tied today, and that by the Lusitania
will soon be in the vaults of the
banks.
While there is still some apprehen-
sion regarding the possible effort of
the Bank of England to check the
outflow of gold from London by rails
ing the discount rate tomorrow,
there is a strong feeling among con-
servative financiers here that the di-
rectors of the Bank of England will
be very reluctant to fix a rate of dis
count which has not been touched
since 1873 1t might have been
found necessary to overcome this re-
luctance if the Bank of France had
not so generously dipped into its i'm
mense reserves, under the enlight-
ened policy of Governor Yallaine, by
the purchase of sterling bills to the
amount of 100000 pounds sterling,
to relieve the London market.

Need of Its Service is
Pressing For Care Of
Local Business.
SPLENDID IS EQUIPMENT
Being Installed With View of Serv.
ing Population Of 5O,OOO...EIy
Temporarily Embarrassed.

Work on the splendid new power
house of the Ely Light & Power COM
|pany is being crowded along with all
possible speed. The building and it's
equipment are needed at the earliest
moment they can be secured. This
is particularly true since the tenn
porary closing down of the plant of
the Ely Electric company, which has
made for increased demand on the
plant of the Ely Light & Power.
The latter company was besieged
again yesterday for service by Ely
people who are on the lines of the
Electric company. Applicants had to be
turned away, however, because of the
fact that the Light & Power COM
pany had all the business it could
possibly handle. The plant was be-
ing worked to top capacity before the
closing down of the Electric company
and with the additional work taken
on for the accommodation of the pub
lie in extreme cases it was crowded
up to the limit.
With requirement of service of the
new power plant in Ely City, the Ely
Light e Power company will be in
shape to handle all of the business
of the district that may come to it.
The new plant will be one of the
largest and very best equipped in the
west. Every approved modern idea
is embraced in it's equipment. The
latter is being installed for long SER
vice with eye to the needs of a city
of 10000 or $4,000 people, which
is certain of growth here within the
next several years.
AS result of the eurtailment of its
light service, old Ely is at disadvan-
tage these nights. Candles and lamps
which are being used in a number of
places fail to make for the appear
ance of life that was formerly in evil
dence on the streets.

THE MIKAD0'S CREED.
Head of Chicago Schools Recommends
1t for Adoption.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Japan is to have
a unique revenge for any real or
fancied sights it may have received
at the hands of American school au-
thorities if President Otto Schneider
of the Chicago school board has his
way. President Schneider wants to
adopt the japanese imperial rescr1pt
on education as the standard OF
ethical and moral teaching in the chi
eago public schools.
A copy of the rescript, in a new
translation recently made by board
of Japanese scholars, reached the
president yesterday from the japanese
government at Toxic.
The rescript, which is sort of an
educational creed, was issued some
thirty years ago by the emperor OF
Japan, and has been used since that
time as a formula for ethical teaching
in the japanese schools. In part 1t
reads:
s'Be filial to your parents, affection
ate to YOUR brothers and sisters; as
husbands and wives be harmonious as
friends true, bear yourselves in mod
estv and moderation; extend your
benevolences to all; pursue learning
and cultivate arts, and thereby de-
velon intellectual faculties and perfect
moral powers; Furthermore advance
nublic good and promote common m
terests; always respect the constitution
and preserve the laws; should emer-
gency arise, offer yourselves courage
ously to the state and thus guard and
maintain the prosperity of our i'm
perial throne, coeval with heaven and
