Milo is one of the durra group of
sorghums, closely related to white
durra ('Jerusalem corn'o and to
brown durra. 1t is probably of Afri-
can, perhaps Egyptian, origin, and was

Yellow branching sorghum, yellow

are occasionally applied to brown
durra also. Dwarf milo, yellow milo,
and Milo maize" are the names most
commonly used for milo.
The name milo" is adopted and rec

NOVEL EXPERIMENT
+ ON PRISONERS LIFE;
DOCTOR TO REVIVE HIM

Trenton, N. j., December 16.-John
Mantasanna, of Essex county, is to
have a novel Christmas gift, if the
newest project inspired by Jersey JUS
tice is successful.
John Is alleged to have committed
murder, and just for that he is under
sentence to be electrocuted at the
State prison next week. But DR.. Frank
Scanned, county physician, and DR..
Thomas Mackenzie, prison physician,
harbor doubts as to whether electrocu-
ton really sends the victim to that
bourne from which no man returneth.
Therefore, If permission can be secur-
ed and John doesn't get a stay, they
will try to resusctate him after he
has been duly executed.
The experiment will be undertaken
in order to prove or disprove the the
DRY of scientists that the infiiction of
capital punishment by electricity only
stuns the victims, who are later killed
by the surgeons knife during the
autopsy or by the quicklime in which
the bodies of murderers are buried.
At all previous executions of SEN
fences the autopsies have been per-
formed by DR.. E. A. S. Spitzka, of
Philadelphia. Next time, however, DR..
Scanned, the county. physician, will
insist on being allowed to take poses
sion of the body. With the assistance
Of DR.. Mackenzie, he will then apply
all the methods of resuscitation known
to medical science. If the experiment
fails an autopsy will be performed to
determine the exact effect of the cleo
trio current on the human body. 1t is
also expected that this will show If
death was instantaneous, as advocates
of the electric chair aver to be the
case.
"Dr. Gibbons of New York has as.
serted that electricity does not kill a
convict, and that the men put in the
chair die under the surgeons knife in
the autopsy or In the quicklime in
which they are buried" County Physi-
clan Scammell said in discussing the
project. 81 intend to find out whether
that is true, and | have invited DR..
Mackenzie to assist me following the
next execution of the death sentence

Tony Allen and Arthur stabIer-A
Contrast.
In Paul Gilmore's new play, "The
Boys of Company B." the authoress,
Rida Johnson Young, has provided a
contrast between the rival characters
of Tony Allen and Arthur Stabler as
keenly marked as that drawn between
the warning characters in any of the
better known dramas of modern life
now on the boards. Arthur Stabler is
typical son of a get-rich-quick father.
Yesterday, Stabler, Cr., was a common
workman. Today he is an overbear-
ing, domineering millionaire. His son.
Arthur, suddenly thrown upon the
world with evrything money can buy,

PENSIONS
in OLD AGE
Plan Being Evolved to Retire
Aged Employees Of United
States Civil Service.

Washington, December 16-Need Of
system of old age pensions has long
been felt in the dinerent departments
of the Federal Government, and for
half dozen years this cause has been
agitated by the Civil Service Retire
ment Association. The matter was
taken up last year by the sub-commit-
tee on personnel of the Keep Commits
sion, which was appointed by the Pres
ident for the purpose of suggesting
methods of increasing the administra-
ton efficiency of the departments.
At the request of the Senate Com
mittee on Civil Service and Retrench-
ment and the House Cimmittee on
Reform in the Civil Service. the Sec
rotary of commerce and labor directed
the Bureau of the Census to prepare
an estimate of the amount 1t will
cost If the plan for the retirement of
aged employees in the civil service
approved by the Keep Commission,
is adopted. The details of this plan
are now being worked out by the
Bureau of the Census.

with his fathers money bags. Tony,
on the other hand, with no money save
what he earns, with no position save
that which he secures by his own ex-
ertions, no prospects save those he is
capable of earning, looks life in the
face with the glance of philosopher,
and determines to push to the top by
means of his own energy, his own per-
severance, his own writ and darinf. A
natural force let loose, he wrought in
the right direction. His enchanting
art of ingratiating himself in the good
graces of those he wished to make
helpful to him, his dexterity in bring
ing things about in his own way, his
wonderful good humor and great am
bition, his love of adventure. his gay
ETY. and his independence, his assur-
ance and his intelligence, his gentle
ness and kindness of heart, his never
failing earnestness of purpose that
makes everything he does deserving
of attention and respect, and his utter
intolerance of anything that smacks
of deceit or trickery-these aret rats
that makes Tony Allen one of the
sturdiest and best beloved characters
on the stage today. Paul Gilmore will
be seen in the role of Tony Allen
at the Auditorium tomorrow night.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he las a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re-
lance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried it are willing to
use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher,
of Ripley, w. Va, says: 81 have
never used anything other than Cham
berlains Cough Remedy, for my chill
dren and it has always given good
satisfaction" This remedy contains
no opium or other narcotic and may
be given as confidently to a child as
to an adult. For sale by Hays &

tor is Ridiculed

RENO, Aug 21-The Washoe and
Elko county Republican delegations
to the state convention at Goldfield
left today for Goldfield, accompanied
by Senator Gallagher and John
Bouse. representing White Pine
county Republicans. The convention
will convene at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning and promises to be the most
enthusiastic gathering Republicans
have ever held in the state.
Tonight the Washoe delegation, to-
gether with George Russell and Mel
Badt of Elko, who carry the proxies
of that banner Democratic county in
their pockets, will leave for Goldfield.
where the Republican convention will
assemble Saturday morning at 10
O'Clock.
The Washoe delegation caucused
yesterday and decided to enforce the
unit rule, which means that the
Washoeites will be solid for Flanagan
for United States senator and Hugh
Brown for supreme judge. Maxson
will also get Washoe's vote.
Senator Flanagan will be unable to
attend the convention. as he has
some pressing private business to at
tend to, and is also expected in Chi
cago the first part of next week. His
letter to Newlands last night has
called forth much favorable COM
ment. and the general prediction is
that when the issue Is joined on the
lines indicated Flanagan will beat Sir
Francis by popular majority of over
1000.
There are scores of Democrats who
are disgusted with the idea of be-
longing to one-man party. They
say that Sir Francis has arrogated to
himself the policy of a dictator and
is laying down lines for the party to
follow. They also say that he is TAX
ing 1t for granted that he is already
the nominee of the party. when, as a
matter of fact there is strong un-
derground movement to prevent his
Endorsement. There are several
pointed illusions to this attitude of
Sir Francis in Flanigan's reply. and
It has caused much merriment at
Newlands' expense among the Demo-
Gratis today.

FRANCHISE IS
NOT DEAD
City U)iu Agoin
Take M0tterup
Uith Railroad

The franchise ordinance passed by
the city council some time ago for
submission to the Nevada Northern
railroad, and in the hope that the
latter would make acceptance, will
probably be succeeded by another
ordinance at no distant date.
The original ordinance carried pro-
vision that If acceptance was not
made within 80 days 1t would be-
come void. Such acceptance was not
made, the time recently having ex-
pred without the railroad signing
the agreement which the ordinance
carried
Yesterday Mayor Clark was asked
as to probable future steps. He re-
piled that he was advised that Presi-
dent Eeeles of the railroad company
would probably visit the city at early
date and that 1t was the intention to
then renew further discussion of the
matter. Mr. Clark expressed belief
that under further discussion with
Mr.. Eeeles an arrangement to the
advantage Of both the city and the
railroad could be brought about.
The sticking point IN the previous
ordinance Is understood to have been
stipulation that the railroad make
TWO stops within the city limits with
all OF Its passenger trains. The rail-
road company held this TO be unrea-
sonable and declined to accept a
franchise for the operation of its
trains in Ely and for the building of
spurs and sidings there which con-
tanned such stipulation. Since that
time there has been good deal of
discussion of the matter in Ely and
It Low appears that sentiment is
strongly In favor of yielding the
point TO the railroad, which course
would mean the operation of mine
and snelter suburban trains regular
ly into the town as well as trains of
the main line.

UiH Organize in
Ely and Caucus
On Wednesday

The Republican meeting in Ely
which the News a few days ago an
nounced would probably be held to-
night for the purpose of organizing
a Republican club, will not be held
until Wednesday, evening, at which
time 1t is desired that there be
general attendance of Republicans.
A meeting of Republicans which
was held Thursday afternoon In Ely
canvassed the situation and deter
mined upon the organization of
club, membership to which should be
open to the Republicans of all pre-
cincts in the county and which should
work In harmony with the Republi-
can clubs of the county. This idea
will prevail in the meeting and or
ganization Wednesday night, which
will be held at the court house.
Following organization of the club
a caucus will be held by the Ely
members for the purpose of naming
a delegate ticket for the primary to
be held on the following Saturday.
Delegates then elected will attend the
county convention on September 20
and name the county ticket. In the
Wednesday night caucus it is proba-
BILE that there will be discussion of
the various candidates for Office and
that the delegation chosen will have
instructions from the caucus as to
how the ten votes of Ely shall be
cast. In view of which there is par
ticularly urgent reason for full at
tendance of Republicans of the pre-
cinct at the meeting.
