GOLDFIELD TO SHOW
FUNNYMENBIG TINE
RAISE ENTERTAlNMEN FUND IN
SHORT ORDER
When Los Angeles Is Through
With Them and Give
Them the City

Americas funny men, otherwise
known as the American Press Humorists,
whose convention in Los Angeles Septem-
tertainment at the Auditorium for the
purpose of building monument to Bill
Nye, will be royalty entertained in Gold
field on their way back east.
Goldfield people are ready to give the
visitors a hearty reception, the keys to
the city, a few bushels of gold nuggets, a
mine or two if they want it, and, to prove
their sincerity, have subscribed $1,000 to
an entertainment fund The Goldteld
Press club is raising $4,000 more
Frank T. Searight secretary-treasurer
of the association of humorous writer's,
is back from two weeks trip to Gold
field, where he went by invitation of Sam
Davis of Carson City, chairman of the
Nevada state board of publicity and
member of the press humorists; George
Wingfield of Wingfield & Nixon of Gold
field, and William J. Brewer, president OF
the Goldfield chamber of commerce.
His trip was entirely successful and
he returned with the assurance that the
visiting fun makers will have the time of
their lives in the big Nevada mining
camp.
Press Club Starts Things
The Press club of Goldfield, headed by
it's president Col. c. G. Noble, started the
ball rolling with regard to entertaining
the humorists and in a few hours had
brought all the newspapers into the fold
with subscriptions amounting to $500, a
little later the amount needed for actual
expenses of the side trip was raised and
the scribes are going ahead with arrange
ments for big banquet at the Hotel
Casey, auto trips to the mines and other
and probably more exciting sightseeing
trps-if you know Goldfeld.
Mr. Davis is considering the idea of TAX
ing the humor- writer's to Reno and Car
son, especially If the efforts being made
to bring Mark Twain to the coast are
successful, as it was in Carson that
Twain got his start in literature. Davis
is hopeful of inducing the world-famous
humorist to make the trip.
Both Mr.. Davis and Secretary Searight
were accorded pleasing honors while' in
Goldfeld, being elected honorary members
of the Goldfield Press club, and the Gold
field Athletic club, entertained at the
Montezuma club, and at the homes of
several of the prominent citizens, and
claim even to have been offered the COM

BY a Woman Possessed of wonderful
Power

Nine. Best, the renowned magnetic healer
rendered a reception to the sick and afflicted
of Los Angeles and vicinity yesterday after
noon in her suite of rooms at the Hotel Della
ware, 534k South Broadway Nine Best is
we'll known in the northern cities of the coast
also in the middle west through her cures
some of which border the marvellous and
are considered wonderful by hundreds in those
sections of the country
Medical men have lauded this gifted woman,
and while unable to explain how her cures are
effected are forced to give her credit for nu-
merous cases in which complete cures have
been made by her magnetic healing that have
been brought to their attention.
Nine. Best stated yesterday that her power
lies in her hands alone. She makes speciality
of treating all chronic, lingering ailments that
have dehed the physician's skill. Her treat
ments succeed often where all else has failed
and you have but TO give her trial to con-
vince you of her abilities. She does not claim
to be divine healer or anything supernatural,
but does claim to have possessed this soothing,
healing power from even childhood AS
small child she was often called upon to cure
a headache, etc, until finally II dawned upon
all that she had peculiar power for all aches
and pains. a1A thus she came to take 1t up AS
a profession, Following 1t successfully In diff
ferent cities for several years To those who
are unable TO pay she Is most lenent Seeing
is believing. You will therefore call the day
blessed when you decide to give Madam Best
a trial II you have tried all and everything
without relief, do not despond, but take up
hope, faith and courage. Go and see Madam
Best. You will leave her presence feeling that
life holds hope for ALL There is nothing OF
fake or fraud She is just what she is claimed
to be, Go once, and you will be anxious to go
again. Where the case is not of too long dura-
tion. one or two treatments is all that is
needed. No drugs or medicines. Her hands
alone do the work. All the sick and afflicted
are earnestly requested TO call on Madam Best
at her rooms, Nos 21-22 at 534i5 South Broad
way. Hotel Delaware. Hours 10 to 1850 a. M;
2 to d. m.

Telephone CASE GOES
TO HIGHEST TRIBUNAL
Home Company VIII Appeal Its Liti-
cation Questioning city's Right
to Regulate Rates to U. s.
Supreme Court

The Home Telephone company will
carry it's test case before the United
States supreme court, and it will probably
come up about January 1, next.
The company contests the right of the
city of Los Angeles to regulate rates and
demand an itemized statement annually
on which to base these rates.
The companys counsel state that Judge
Wellborn decided the issues mainly on
the Freeport, ILL.,, case, in which amid
division the judges decided in the city's
favor.
1t is held by the Home people that the
cases are not analogous. Rather it is
claimed, their case is similar to that of
the Detroit and Cleveland street cars,
where the highest courts prevented the
reduction of street car fares from to
cents on the ground that the railway
companies had contracts with the cities.

BIRTH EXCEED DEATHS;
MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS
JULYs RECORD IN LOS ANGELES
SHOWS GROWTH
Out of Forty-nine TubercuIar FataIi-
ties None Were Native An
eeIenos, Forty-six Being
from Other States

Births again exceeded the deaths in Los
Angeles during the past month.
The total of deaths for the month was
321, of whom many came here sick only
few days or weeks ago, but they are
charged to the city's mortality tables.
The mortality was divided as follows:
Males 17S, females 143, whites 800, mongol-
ians IL, negroes 10
OF these deaths forty-ni: were due to
tuberculosis, of whom males numbered
thirty-three and females sixteen.
AS to nativity none Of these tubercular
patients were born in Los Angeles, only
three were from the Pacific coast and
forty-six from other states
The July birth record was S5S, of whom
1s1 were males and III females. All were
white except nineteen colored.

Impressed Wlth eoIdfieId


although 1 struck the camp at its
dullest time said the press humorists'
secretary, 'fts size, it's businesslike ap-
pearance, it's enterprise and its optimism
impressed me. Goldfeld claims 10000
population, and I believe it is no eXag
geration. 1t is the biggest, most solid
mining comp in America today The num-
ber of big. new stone buildings going up
in Goldfield is source of wonder and
satisfaction-more the latter than the
former when one gets acquainted with
people and conditions.
'Goldfield people look to Los Angeles
as to a good friend, and everything Los
Angeles wants from southern Nevada is
hers for the asking. At a meeting Of the
directors of the chamber of commerce 1
attended in Goldfeld one of the bills pre-
sented was for luncheon for the delega-
ton of Los Angeles business men who
visited the camp some weeks ago.
L move that the bill be paid quick
said one of the directors.
Amend that motion by moving that
the secretary be instructed to notify the
Los Angeles business men to bring their
appetites with them next time said an
other director, and the amendment car
ried, and it was a good sized bill, too.
'"The trend of Goldfield toward Los An
geles is steady and unmistakable The
cry of what helps Los Angeles helps
Goldfeld,' already is heard in the Ne
vada camp, and the interests of the two
places are becoming more closely allied
every day. and that is what Goldfield
says about it."

USES X-RAY TOO LONG;
MAKES INTERNAL BURN
Manager of Angels Flight Suffers from
Complication Produced by Elec-
trio Rays in Search of
Needle

Col. ]. w. Eddy, owner and manager of
the Angels Flight at Third and Olive
streets, is slowly convalescing from a
serious foot wound which he sustained
twelve weeks ago. 1t is expected by
his doctor that he will be out and able
to attend to his affairs within week
or ten days.
He is just out of bed now and able
to walk with the aid of crutches. He ran
needle into his foot, and when the
doctors attempted to get 1t out they kept
the X-ray machine too long on the foot.
An internal burn was produced and seri-
Gus complications set in.
He has been greatly missed by the pat
rons of Angels Flight, and his many
friends will be glad to hear of his i'm
provement.
