 The final visit occurred in the seven ties. Then I was called to the death bed of the little grandmother, to whom an accident had befallen.

er or not he can get out of it. Tech
nicalitis have a firm place in the
American mind and have taken root
as being as excusable for a criminal
as for him to be truly innocent.
In certain parts Of the country there
are different degrees of sympathy for
local crimes. At any seaport or town
on the boundaries north or south
smuggling is not regarded as a crime
unless the smuggler is caught, and
then it is all right if he can get out of
it. If he is under surveillance or ar
rest there is a feeling in his favor
that he is as highly respected a citizen
as the minister Of the gospel.
Quite similar was the feeling at
Goldfeld when the hi~gh-graders were
in their glory. If a mine owner ut
tered a word against tn practice prom
inent merchants would fare up and
say it kept money in circulation to
have high grading going on-hence it
was al right.

WOMEN SHUT OUT
OF OFFICE

All the ladies who have been candi-
dates for the position of district su-
perintendent of schools will have to
abandon their aspirations, under a
decision rendered yesterday by Attor-
ney General Stoddard at Carson City.
The last legislature passed a law
dividing the state into five school dis
tricts and providing further that each
district should be under the direction
of a district superintendent Of schools,
with the state superintendent Of pub
lie instruction at the head of the sys-
ten. The appointment, it is under
stood, to the five places will not be
made until next September. In the
meantime many candidates have come
forward, among whom have been sev-
eral popular and well qualified ladies.
The decision of the attorney general
is that it would be unconstitutional, in
view Of the wording of the fundamen-
tai law Of the state, to appoint a won
an to one Of these places.
