Pure olive oil is excellent for remov.
ing any matted condition of the hair.
In case the children get a sheet of fly
paper In their hair or a wad of chewing
gum, rub the oil well into the hair and
let it remain for about an hour. Pick
the hair apart and remove any foreign
substance, after which wash well with
warm water and some good soap.
The National tribune., 1907-09-05

An authority on household matters
says that if new tinware be rubbed over
with fresh lard and thoroly heated in
the oven before it is used. it will never
rust afterward, no matter how much it
is put in water. For stained tinware
borax produces the best results. If a
teapot or coffeepot is discolored on the
inside, boil it in a strong solution of
borax for a short time, and all its
brightness will return.

WIFE SHOOTS TWICE
HUSBANDS ASSAILANT

GOLDFlELD. Oct. 25.-In defend
ing her husband from assault Mrs.
Ethel Larsen, wife of A. Larsen shot
and mortally wounded Michael Ken
nedy at noon Tuesday. Bad blood
had existed between the two men for
some time, and Mrs Larsen says that
when she saw her husband being
chased by Kennedy, who had huge
butcher knife, she seized revolver
and shot at the fleeing man twice.
One of the bullets went into Ken
nedy's neck and the other through
his right arm. Kennedy will proba-
bly, die.
1t is claimed that Kennedy had been
very abusive to Larsen and finally di-
rected his attacks upon Larsen S
wife. People who declare they know
the inside of the affair state that
Kennedy today slapped Mrs. Larsen S
face, which contributed in no small
degree to her growing anger Most
of the trouble is said to have result
ed from the alleged treatment of
Kennedy's small son by his niece
during the absence of Mrs. Kennedy,
and the interference of Mrs. Larsen
Mrs. Larsen is left-handed and today
proved herself sure shot.

GOLDHELD BAN|SHES
DEADLY FEVER GERMS
ALkALI SPRINGS AND HIGHLAND
NINE NO LONGER SUPPLY
WATER FOR CAMP.

1'he city of Goldfield is now ty-
phoid fever immune, provided it
drinks from the faucets placed in
business houses and residences by the
Goldfield Consolidated Water COM
pany, which before had been supply
ing its patrons, for want of a better
supply, with water pumped from the
Highland mine and Alkali springs.
These two sources of supply have
now been cut off, except for the sup
plying of mills and the piping to a
small portion of the camp where the
plans for reorganization have not yet
come in evidence owing to the slow
delivery of supplies.
The water that is now used for do
nestle purposes in nearly all parts of
the city is piped from the great sys-
tenn of springs at Ida. The water
company is now delivering 10000
gallons a day from this source. A
force of men is at work completing
the system, which will require about
sixty days, when the supply from the
springs that are now being connected
up with the system will be 400, 900
gallons a day. The pressure on the
hydrants and on the fire plugs is
being maintained at about forty
pounds, which, with the supply in
the fire reservoir, is equal to the de-
mands for any conflagration that is
likely to take place.

BANK ROBBERS NEARLY
REACH TREASURE STORE
Blow Open Vault But Leave When
Almost Successful-NO
Clue.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 25.-Bank rob
twenty-five miles north of Salt Lake
early yesterday morning, and almost
succeeded in carrying off the $15,-
900 in the safe of the First National
bank at that place. Why the burg
lars failed when their work was al
most at the point of success is one
of the riddles of the affair.
They did not arouse the town. but
after forcing open the door of the
bank vault and blowing off the door
of the safe, they for some reason
abandoned their quest and disap-
peared.
Yesterday morning Cashier Law
renee Allison, son of e. p. Allison
opened the First National bank with
out the slightest idea of what had
happened. For twenty minutes he
attended to his work about the bank
and at last approached the vault. He
found the combination out of order
and, pulling at the door, caused it to
swing open.
The robbers had apparently drilled
into the lock and with a charge OF
nitro-glycerin forced open the heavy
door without causing any damage eX.
cept to the fastening.
Inside the vault the cashier found
the safe completely turned over. The
outer safe door had been torn of
by a powerful charge of explosives
but the inner door was undisturbed

FRAUD ORDER NAMES.
CONVICT At CARSON
BARS WE'RE NO SERIOUS HANDJ-
CAP TO THIS ENERGETIC
PROMOTER.

CARSON CITY, Oct. 25.-A fraud
order has been issued by the post.
Office department against I. X
Homer who is serving a term in the
state prison here. The order is the
result of an investigation into Ho.
mer's methods of promotion, which
he conducted by mail, since his i'm.
prisonment.
Homer's efforts to get money are
said to have been fraudulent, but SO
well written were the prospectuses
which he sent out by hundreds, that
they brought virtually thousands OF
letters to him from men and women
in all parts of the country, who want
ed to "get rich quick.
When it became known that the
promoter was convict. the matter
created considerable interest.
The attention of the postofTice de-
partment was first attracted to Homer
by reason of the mass of mail he re-
ceived daily.

Contractors and LabOrerS Being
Hurried as Rapidly as Consist
ent With Good Work.
MODEL HOMES FOR LABOR
Only Delays Experienced Are i'm Re
cciving Building Nate
rialS.

AT the concentrator and the smelter
at McGill construction work is being
crowded ahead with .unabated ener-
gy. No loss of time is occurring that
may be averteG. Delay i'll arrival of
materials alone occasions halts, and
then only in single departments. The
management is alert to every oppor-
tunity to get ahead with the big task
in hand and is pushing contractors
and workmen to the best speed that
good work of thorough character will
permit.
At the concentrator the first unit
is now practically under roof. The
mills are being set up on the floors
that have been put in concrete, and
energetic, well directed effort is in
evidence on all sides to bring about
completion of this feature of the
plant. The hope is that it may be
ready for operation by the first OF
the year. Such result will represent
a big success, for there is yet great
deal of work to be done.
That things are moving about the
plants and that there has been no
abatement in the vigor which has
been behind construction there from
the beginning, is best demonstrated
through the fact that there are at
the present time about LOO people
housed on the company property and
that in this community there are no
idle men. With reference to the
dwelling accommodations which have
been provided and which will be
steadily added to, it is to be said that
recent work has made great change
in the appearance of things. AS 1t
stands now the smelter city above the
tented line is an ideal creation of ar
chitect and contracting builder Not
only is there harmony in construc-
tion and color, but streets, drainage,
general location and arrangements
for the continuance of excellent sani-
tary conditions are of the best. The
country can be hunted over without
the finding of another reduction plant
division of a mining company sur
rounded by so attractive cottages
dwellings and residences for those
who need live close to their work as
at McGill.

NEVADA PLAYERS HAVE
SEVERE ORUBB|NG
FOOTBALL SQUAD NO MATCH
FOR STANFORD But PUT
UP GAME FIGHT

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal,
Oct. 25.-In one-sided but hard
fought game here today the Stanford
rugby team defeated the University
of Nevada by score of 81 to o. The
visitors were outclassed in all stages
of the game and only twice was Stan
ford's goal seriously threatened. The
Cardinals showed greatly improved
form and completely smothered the
Nevada forwards. Fenton, the Stan
ford half, was the star of the game,
making sixteen points out of thirty
one by his clever kicking, converting
five tries and making two place kicks
on penalties. For the visitors, Fol-
som did brilliant work at times, but
his play was intermittent. Selby and
Reder played a good game, but on
account of the weakness of the Ne
vada serum their backfield did not
get an opportunity to show its
strength.

MORE CONFIDENCE
IN LONDON MARKETS

LONDON, Oct. 25.-Trading on
the stock exchange today opened with
cheerful tone on the more encour-
aging news regarding the financial
situation in New York, and the prices
of Americans started at l point above
parity. Buying orders from New
York and the covering by local bears
steadily drove quotations upward and
by noon Union Pacific and Canadian
Pacific were points over the New
York equivalent, while Southern Pa
cific and United States Steel received
considerable attention at over l point
advance.
The improvement in Americans
continued until the receipt of the
news of declining quotations in New
York. Prices fluctuated widely after
that and fell one to two points from
the best of the day. At the close
there was an easy tendency but the
rises were well above those of last
evening.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS
IN VICINITY OF ROME

ROME, Oct. 25.-The earth shocks
throughout Calabria yesterday caused
considerable damage, destroying two
villages, but so tar as Is known only
ten lives were lost. To add to the
desolation, it was raining in torrents.
The cathedral at Towre de Race
was thrown down, as was an ancient
tower which had withstood all the
earthquakes for centuries.
The confusion caused by the earth
quake was increased by a mutiny of
the prisoners in the Catanzaro Jail,
which was subdued with difficulty.
The troops sent with the relief
trains to the scene of the disaster
had a calming effect on the pOpula-
ton.
Only two days ago the finance min
lister inaugurated two entirely new
villages in Calabria, which had been
built by the relief committee of Mi
Ian for the victims of the earthquake
of 1905. These villages, however,
withstood the shocks.
The shock was especially severe in
the southern end of the peninsula.
Half. the houses at Ferruzzano and
Brancaleone collapsed and many per-
sons were buried in the ruins. AT
Sinopoli and Stilario several persons
were buried and everywhere panic
prevailed
Rocollak, Raggio, Cosanca. Barao-
dio, Cittanova, Palmi, Gerace, Mar
ina and other towns suffered, but not
severely.
A special dispatch to the Tribuna
says that one hundred persons lost
their lives in the commune of Fer
rlIzzano, but there is no confirmation
at present of the report.

LOCAL BANKS WILL
NOT TAKE HOLIDAY
GOV. SPARKS ORDERS FIVE DAYS
CESSATION OF BANKING
BUSINESS IN STATE.
ELY NOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CHANCE
business Conditions Perfectly Nor
NAL and Not Slightest Un-
eaSineSS.

Neither the First National Bank
of Ely nor the Bank of Ely will take
advantage of the bank holiday of five
days which has been declared for all
the banks of the state by Governor
John Sparks.
I'VE do not care to take advantage
of the banking holiday" said Cash
Ter A. b. Witcher of the First Ma
tional bank to The News last night
There is no particular reason why
we should care to take advantage of
it. Our business is going along at
about the normal rate. | cannot see
a dollar difference in the business.
There is no reason for us to take the
holiday"
THE Bank of Ely will not take
advantage of the banking holiday"
said Cashier James NJ Lockhart of
the Bank of Ely. There is no appa-
rent stringency here. Business has
not changed from normal. There is
no reason why we should add to the
apparent sense of apprehension by
closing our doors for five days
Goldfeld Banks Close.
At Goldfeld yesterday all of the
banks were closed as a result of the
governors proclamation. This proc
lamation stopped the run on the Nye
& Ormsby County bany, which was in
progress at the time the banking
hours closed Thursday night. The
proclamation made it possible for
this bank to remain closed with the
others, and will be prepared for bus
mess Monday when the holiday ends.
A run was anticipated upon the
Third bank, mat of John S. Cook &
Co., on which a slight run started a
few days ago.
The Cook bank was ready. 1t had
wired the Crocker & Woolworth bank
at San Francisco, its depositary, for
half a million dollars. The money
started from San Francisco at noon
yesterday on a special train and ar
rived here at an early hour today.
The bank reported an adequate cash
balance of a million dollars, but as
the consolidated dividend of $685.
900 is to be paid out of this bank on
Friday, the 25th, the bank took the
extra precaution of drawing on its
outside surplus.
State Banks Solvent.
The cashier of the Goldfield
branch of the State Bank &
Trust company gives out the state
ment that his understanding was
that the State Bank & Trust company
system of banks was entirely solvent
and could have continued business,
and that the order to close, which
came from the head bank at Carson
City, was great surprise, indicating
that it was the other banks and not
the local banks that were in trouble.
At noon today the cashier of the
Goldfield branch of the State Bank
and Trust company received the fol-
lowing message from the Home bank
at Carson City:
balance all accounts and send us
the form of a weekly statement at the
earliest moment. We expect to be
able to pay all claims"

MILLION DOLLAR VESSEL
SINKS At PORTLAND DOCK

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 25.-A spe-
cial dispatch from Vancouver, B. c.,
says the Canadian Pacific Railway
company's crack Oriental liner EN-
press of China sank this evening
alongside her dock in that port. Her
seacocks must have been opened, but
how no one seems able to explain.
Her main deck on the port side
is awash with several feet of water.
She sank and keeled to port so the
main deck is now at an angle of
about As degrees.
The problem of saving her will be
that of righting the vessel and pre-
venting her from completely turning
turtle.
Everybody got safely ashore. The
ship is valued at $1,000,0O0.
