CIRCUIT COURT OPENS
Called this Morning at 10 O'clock With
 Judge Carter Presiding

Nevada Circuit Court convened this morning at 10 o'clock with Judge J. NJ. Carter, of Texark ana, pre- iding and Prosecuting Attorney Graves, of Hope, look ing after the interests of the state.
 The first work taken up was the empanelling of the grand jury and the following citizens compose that body:
 l.. A. Moody, J. H. Neighbors, w. T. Mitchell, G. M. Brockman. C. D. Cox, B. w. Burns, c. R. Hudson, J. c. Woodul, Dan Pitt man, H. L. Belk, l.. E. Arm strong, D. c. Barnes, Tom Bar ham, R. P. Bright, B. G. Mur- rah, l.. J. Bryson.
 C. D. Cox of Parker township was appointed foreman of the grand jury, and the judge at once began his charge. And everyone who knows Judge Carter knows he talks plain and tells facts
 His charge this morning was a sensible admonition to the jury as to their duties. He not only spoke of what was expected of them i'll the matter of securing evidence in all infringements of the law, but he gave them a busi- ness talk, which, if followed, is ca lculated to reduce the ex- penSeS of the court. His advice as to the manner of summoning witnesses and dealing with crime was wise, and if followed, will have a tendency to secure more indictments, at smaller cost.
 Dan Pittman and L. J. Bryson were made clerks of the grand jury and c. R. Blake was ap- pointed bailiff.
 The work of empanelling the petit jurors followed, and two panels were chosen as follows:
 1st Panel-Ed Wallis, D. w. Hay, D. A.Fore, jr.. Light White, Lee Cook, Lee Rodgers, J. T. Wicker, Parker Sullivan, Smith Graham, c. E. McGraw, T. F. Burns, w. T. Woodul.
 2nd Panel-E. L. Meadow, J.F. Schooley, Ike Sewell, l.. c. Mitchell, B. NJ. Jones, Ben Phil ips, Lank Cottingham, Leander Atkins, w. l.. White, Geo. l., Westmoreland, John Whitehead, Arthur Jones.
 The fire cases of Nat Martin vs. the railroad company, and o. S. Jones vs. the railroad com pany, were postponed, and al the others, numbering about 15, were consolidated into one, and the trial is proceeding this after noon.
 Immediately after dinner the following criminal cases were of:
 State vs. Noah Charles, carry ing pistol plea of guilty; fined | 5000.
 State vs Charlie McMi1lion, | distul ping relgioos worship; | plea of guilty; fined S20.

Some interesting information con-
corning punishments for murder in for
eign countries has been issued by the
British Home Office. The countries
which infiict no death penalty, however
brutal or premeditated the crime, are
Italy, Holland. Norway, Switzerland,
Portugal and Russia, save where the
lives of the Emperor, the Empress and
the heir to the throne are concerned
The Canton of Tug, in Switzerland, i'm
poses the lowest minimum penalty in
the world, three years Imprisonment
for willful homicide, the maximum pun
ishment being Imprisonment for life
OF those countries which in1ict the
death penalty, but rarely carry it out
Sweden is most notable. Capital pun
ishment is inflicted by decapitaton, but
the penalty imposed for premeditated
murder is almost invariably committed
to penal servitude for life. Germany
distinguishes between two kinds of
murder-one. premeditated and inten-
tional, is punishable by death; the sec
ond. intentional homicide without DELHI
GRAFTON, is punishable by penal servi-
tude for from five to fifteen years.

To be invested there in lottery schemes

One Of the favorite tricks of the lottery
agent is to spring the news OF win

No letters are allowed to be received

writes Mich. music student. Last
September | was so nervous | could
only practice few minutes at time
and mother said I would have to drop
my music for a year.
This was terribly discouraginc, as
l couldn't bear the thought of losing

WINGED that my nervousness was caused
largely by coffee, and seeing Postum
so highly spoken of, l decided | would
test it for while.
Mother followed the directions care
fully and l Thought 1 had never tasted
such delicious drink. We drank
Postum every morning instead of
coffee, and by November l felt more
like myself than for years. and WAS
ready to resume my music.

TERR0RIZED BY WOLVES.
Large Region in Texas Where They
Have Becorne a Sermons Menace

The ranchmen around Encinal. Tex,
are making a desperate effort 10 Grad
icate the wolves which infest their
pastures. Notwithstanding the fight
which has been waged against them
for many years. their numbers show an
annual increase They seem to thrive
with the settling up of the country
They are not only a menace 10 the live
stock. but Of late years rabies has
spread among them to an extent that
is alarming
Many instances are known of the
of hydrophobia. Since the establish
ment of a State Hydrophobia Institute
at Austin three years ago more than
100 persons have gone there for treat
ment for mad wolf bites.
The wolves are of the coyote species.
They sku1k around at night and kill
young calves ana make away with
lambs and kids. Many of the ranch
men have hunters constantly employed
to kill the wolves. wildcats and other
depredat1ng wild animals. This method
of eradication is slow and very ex-
pensive.
Mad wolves are such a menace TO
the section that many ranchmen have
built corrals around their homes as
means Of protection for their wives and
children against attack by the animals.
When afflicted with the rabies a coy
ote does not hesitate TO enter the open
door of Il house or go boldly into a
camp where men are sleeping and at
tack whomsoever they happen TO run
across.
The coyote when snuffering from an
attack of hydrophobia will attack and
bite full-grown cattle The bite pro-
duces rabies in the cattle and the
losses OF live stock from this cause are
considerable. 1t is very dangerous to
