BIG MEDIEVAL PAGEANT
Held to Mark Opening of the Recon

Berlin, May 13.-The Emperor and
Empress, attended by large retihue,
today were present at the medieval
pageant held to mark the opening of
the reconstructed fortress of Hohkoen-
igsburg. The ancient keep, which
lies in the heart of the Vosges Noun
tains, was first built by a prince of
Austria, changed hands many times
during the thirty years war, and fl
nally came into possession of the
neighboring town of Schlettstadt,
which gave it to Emperor William.
The latter had it rebuilt in it's original
condition under the direction of the
Berlin architect Bodo Ebhardt.
Today's ceremonies reproduced the
formalities used at one of the changes
of possession when the three sons of
knight of Sickingen were invested
with the estate. The chief feature of
the pageant was procession up the
winding road leading to the fortress,
with the three knights in full panoply
riding at its head and splendid reti-
nue. of equerries, banner bearers,
men at arms, archers and varlets in
the costume of the time following
them.

IN THE COLD, GRAY DAWN.

The following poem has been going
the rounds of the press and has ex-
cited considerable comment on the
ltruthfulness of the classic:
l dreamed that / dwelt on an isle OF
cracked ice,
In the midst of a lake OF cham
payne,
Where bloomed the mint iuleps in
meadows of green,
Amid showers of lithia rain.
I reclined on a divan OF lager beer
foam.
With a pillow of froth for my head,
While the spray from a fountain OF
sparkling gin fizz
Descended like dew on my head.
From far away mountains of crystal
inc ice,
\ zephyr refreshing and cool
Came waiting the incense of sweet
muscatel
That sparkled in many a pooh
My senses were soothed by the soft
purling song of
A brooklet of pousee cafe,
That rippled along yer pebbles OF
snow
To a river of absinthe frappe.
Then, lulled by the music of tinkline
glass
From the schooners that danced on
the deep,
dreamily slipped a highball or two
And languidly foated to sleep.
And when | awoke on a bed of rocks
With a bolster as hard as a brick
a wrench in my neck, a rock in m,
head,
And stomach detestably sick,
With sand in my eyes and grit in m,
throat.
Where the taste of last evening still
elung,
And left a bath towel stuffed in m!
mouth,
Which I afterwards found was M,
tongue;
And ! CROPPED for the thread OF tn,
evening before
In a mystiied maze of my brain,
Until a great light burst upon me a
last
I'm off of the wagon again.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
GONE TO her FINAL REST.

The sad intelligence was conveyed by wire Sunday morning to Mr..
W. w. Booth, editor and proprietor Of the Tonopah Daily Bonanza, of the
death OF his mother, which occurred at Yreka. California, on Saturday
avendng at 1890 O'Clock.
She had reached the remarkable g Of four score and nne years
having been born in 1919 at the town Of Skaneateles, onondaga county.

Joh2 Price, one of the best known and most prosperous farmers 10

poator on a paper in that section, and who was a resident of the same
mlace, and afterwards became one of the mos widely known newspaper
men on the West coast, he being me pioneer editor of the State of Ne

Sbo died in Austin in May, 1884.
In the spring of 1S4s the young couple left their home and pleas

was a most hazardous one, and the usual attendant suRerings was their

1edto. Later he also conducted hotels at Murphys, Copperopols and
Salt Spring Valley.
In 1866 they migrated to Virginia City. Nevada. where the husband
was one of the first compositors on the Territorial Daily Enterprise at
the opening of the Comstoek. From that time on he was identified with
xbe Gold Hill News, the Daily State Register published at Carson, The
Belmont Courier and Austin Daily 2evenle, the devoted wife in every in
stance accompanying her husband to his new field of labor.
She had been failing for three years or more past, but was always
cheerful and never murmured Wien the final summons came she was
ready to depart. Her aim in life was o sc rear her children that they
would be an honor to the country in which they lived, for above all she
was al intense American. She will lie missed and mourned much in the
circle in which she moved and the city in which she lived and had her
home, and for those who knew her will be the farewell that she has arm
ed the peace which has come Il her She a ever charitable and many
.aret the kind deeds placed to her credit. The number of people that she
helped, the sick she provided for, none but herself knew. The sympathy
sof this community goes ont to. her children.
She was the mother of eleven children, six son and five daughters.

remains were embalmed and have baen shipped to Alton, Illinois, accom-
Nanied by J e. Booth and Mrs. L. W. Getchell, where they will occupy a
resting place beside that of her partner through life, Uncle John Booth.

May her sleep be peaceful.

THE SEWER

The question of whether Or not the city of Tonopah shall own the
sewer system will in all probability come up for consideration before the
county commissioners at this session. The matter has been discussed la
all its phases and we have yet to hear of one valid reason advanced why
this utility should not be owned by the municipality.
Summer is fast approaching and soon the suns hot rays will be
pouring down upon the desert It is then that disease turks in stagnant
pools and unsanhary places. To remove these dread forerunners of
death is the duty of every officer who has the welfare of his home town
at heart Those disease breeders, the cesspool seepage from which i'm
pregnates the soil finally resolving itself into dust to be scattered in the
shape OF germs, broadcast over the city, should be banhhed from our om-
munity In place there should be toilets connecting with the sewer system.
which would carry the ohal and filth to the outskirts of town.
In order to effectively carry ON this idea there must be laws and or
dinances to enforce and compel certain of our people to obey sanitary
regulations The sewer system being in the hands of a private corpora
5on- property owners who are cateIess in the consideration of the health
of their neghbors. cannot be forced oconnect Herewith. A sewer sy-
Rem in the hands of the city fathers will mean that those property own
@rs who have no regard for the rights of their fellow citizens will be
compelled to take steps to remedy an unsanitary condition.
We believe that the board of commissioners, taking these facts into
consideration, and knowing that the cost to property owners will be
nessened, Will pass fayorably upon the proposed purchase OF the system.

the deal, The corner came to an end with the month of May; or. rather.
on the both, which was Saturday, aud that evening when the cleanup had
been all made. he presented to Northwestern University, which is an h-
stfuton under Methodist influence, near Chicago, $780, 0Os wherewitht to
build a gymnasium. We do not. Of course, know that the money given TO
the university is any parT of the money won in the grain pit, but lis doll
lars to doughnuts that if the CORNER lad gone wrong, a S corners do more
often than otherwise, the donation 10 the university would not have beel
made, says the San Francisco Chronicle.
We do not know that running a grain corner can be called gambling.
The process is to first buy all the grain of the kind cornered that there
is and then induce those who do not know what you have done to sell
Iyu a lot more. Naturally when they come to deliver they find that they
must come to you for their supplies. and you fix the price SO that they
can make the delivery and have a little money left to begin life again.
That is the ideal grain corner. The operator comes as near to doing
that as he can. In his bargains. therefore, he is merely betting IN what
that is gambling. We are inclined to think that gamblers repudite it "a
an improper practice But that is he ideal grain corner. If it can be
called gambling 1t is because experience shows that it fails to work out
more than half the time, which probably gives it the element of chance
required to make IL gambling. But at any rate, money got that way is
not got by the delivering of an equivalent in the results of useful labor
actually performed, which some philosophers insist is the only way to get
la perfectly square deal on both sides. 1t is evident that the money for
the gymnasium of Northwestern University came from transactions which
many excellent clergymen are accustomed to reprehend from the pulpit
We ar not intimating that the Northwestern University should
have declined this gift. Far from it. We think it should accept all gifts
of that kind which come to it, All we have in mind is to show the
the heresy that money can be tantsd has no more hold in the Methodist
university on the northern limit of Chicago than it has in the Baptist uni
versHy in the southern part of the city In fact, We doubt whether it has
a fast hold anywhere in Chicago.
