SCENE
AT SENTENCE OF
A HlGHGRADER

GOLDFIELD, June 22.-Rarely
has more pathetic picture been pre-
sented in the local courts than when
James thompson appeared before
Judge Langan and received a sem
tence of three years in the peniten-
tiary for attempting to steal high
grade from the Florence ground His
partner in crime, w, McCabe, was
given five years.
Mrs. Thompson was in the court
room with her prattling babies. two
and 20 months old. When she heard
the court impose the sentence upon
her husband following very severe
chastising. she wept bitterly and
some of the court officers were COM
PEELED to remove her. When she
broke down. Thompson himself,
hardened as he has been throughout
the trial. could not control his emo
tions. and buried his face in his
hands. For several days the faithful
wife has been visiting Judge Langan
in his chambers, seeking to have
mercy shown the convicted man. The
judge, who is the father of a large
family, could not impose as stiff a
punishment upon Thompson as he
could had the man not had such a
devoted wife and two babies who
will now be deprived of their parent.

HANDSOMELY REMEMBERED.
Engineer Hartman and Bride Re-
ceivc Gifts From Large Num-
Der of Friends.

One of the heartiest receptions
ever extended a bride and groom in
the district was given Mr.. and Mrs.
A. Hartman last evening at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. James Pace in Ely
City Mr.. and Mrs. Hartamn went
there unsuspectingly in response to
an invitation TO dinner and were
taken completely by surprise when
hundred or more friends of the
groom from the railroad service and
about Ely City suddenly appeared
and gave a chariyari of undoubted
merit from the standpoint of noise
and enthusiasm.
After the prelude and introduc-
tions, II. NJ. Fulmer, on behalf of the
callers and the hosts of the evening,
presented to Mr.. and Mrs. Hartman
the finest dining room set they could
find on sale in the district yesterday
Two splendid rocking chairs were
also produced and presented the cou-
Pile Later there was light refresh
ments and cake served at the house,
following which adjournment was
taken to the Antlers in Ely City by
the larger number of the friends of
Mr.. Hartman. where a Dutch lunch
was served and the festivities con-
tinued until a late hour in honor of
the couple.

PROBABLY INCENDIARY.
Blaze Found in Rear of Commits
sion House at Early Hour
Might Have Destroyed Town.

A small blaze which might have
proved disastrous was discovered in
the rear of the Newcomb Commission
Co.'S store on Aultman street early
Yesterday morning barrel filled with
trash having become ignited in some
manner. II was quickly extinguished
by neighbors. although II gave them
quite a fright. Damage except to the
barrel was practically nothing.
Whether the fire was OF incendiary
origin or not cannot of course be
told. The barrel filled to the brim
with inflammable rubbish, was sit
uated in the rear of the Newcomb
store. About 1:15 yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Arthur Knecht, who lives
next door, was awakened by the
glare OF the blaze which was leap
ing high out of the barrel and prom
ised to fire the building. She reused
her husband and In a short time the
fire was put out. But few people
knew of the danger. II might easily
have proved disastrous, as the high
wind blowing at that hour would
have. had the fire got any sort of
hold on the building, inevitably
swept the business portion OF Ely.

PREPARE STREET FOR RACES.
Beside Hose Team Contests There
viii Also BE Horse Races on
Avenue &. Ely City.

Avenue c in Ely City was attacked
yesterday by force of men who
will keep at 1t until they have the
broad thoroughfare as smooth as a
floor for the hose races to be run
there during the Fourth of July Gel
ebration. In addition to the hose
races there will also be horse races
over the course, arranged for by the
Ely City people. One OF these races
will probably be between solicitors
for business firms In the district who
go about on horseback. Entry will
have to be of horses used in solicit
ing. while the riders will have to be
the solicitors personally. There is
reason to expect that the race will
not only attract large interest but
that il will also be a sporting event
of no mean proportions.

notified the state railroad commits
sion that beginning on the first of
July there will be material reductions
for the transportation of stock in this
state.
The reductions made by the COM
pany run from to Il per cent. or
an average of about Z per cent, and
the sums amount to from $40 to $40
the car for freight.
The stockraisers of the state have
entered strong objections several
times to the rates in effect at the
present time and the matter was laid
before the Southern Pacific by the
state commission. The commission
had no power or authority TO make
an order in the matter, but the rail-
road promptly acquiesced in the sug-
gestion of reduction when the ques-
tion was brought to its attention.

INTEREST IN
MEETING OF
THECOUNC|L
Speculation as to What is
To be Done About the
Sewer and Railroad
Franchise Matters

A great deal of interest is express
ed in the probable action of the city
council tonight, when two important
matters will come before the body.
one of these is the railroad fran
chise. which Mayor Clark has re-
fused to sign as it stands. The other
is action ON sewer construction pro-
tests against which under plans as
they now stand have been filed.
Whether the council will amend
the franchise ordinance as is wished
by the mayor, whose chief objection
is to the fact that the instrument does
not mention the number of trains to
be run daily. or what will be done
about II Is causing a good deal of
speculation. Among other additional
stipulations which were talked of yes

may be charged in the city and per-
eentage of profit from operation nn-

With regard To the sewer eomemnt
on the streets yesterday and Sunday
divulged the fact that the proposed
point of disposing of it's outfall was
unknown to the public until disclos-
ure came in the meeting of Saturday
night. The general impression was
that the outlet would be several miles
distant from town and the informa-
lion that 1t is planned To dump IT
practically at the city limits came as
a surprise and disappointment. II is
pretty generally held that such course
would be very dangerous to the
town, making the sewer menace
and drawback of greater proper
tions than the absence of this needed
sanitary aid. Commenting yesterday
on the matter. one physician said
that under conditions as they are
here, the proposed use of Murry
creek for outlet purposes would
bring about health scourges which
might not be overcome for years.
while civil and criminal actions re-
sulting in the courts from pollution
of the waters of the creek would
bankrupt the community. The coun-
ell has as yet given no intimation as
TO its probable course of action to-
night.

LUDKE BELIEVES
RAWHIDE BANK
WILL PAY OUT

With but little to say, except that
he believes the First Bank of Raw
hide will be able to discharge its in-
debtedness in full, j. II. Ludke of
this city has returned from Rawhide,
where he was called by report of the
involved state of the institutions af-
fairs. He was stakeholder in the
concern.
Il don't know that | have anything
to say about the bank for publica-
tion," said Mr.. Ludke yesterday. Il
am a stock holder in it but know lit
tie of its affairs. | believe though
that it will be able to pay all it's in
debtedness and that no one will lose.
Whether IL will reopen or not, | can
not say
Rawhide is at present very quiet
but things promise to be more lively
in short time, Mr.. Ludke states.
The railroad line which is being built
in from Schurz has finished grading
for IL miles, leaving "a miles to be
graded still. Work on the water and
power plant which is backed by am
pie capital to assure its success. is
being done steadily, the main pipe
line being in course of construction.

camp which will require much capital
to develop and place on paying ba-
sis. 1t is strictly milling PROPOSE

site has been chosen on the main pipe
line OF the water company one and a

pected to commence soon.

Among the deacOnS of a Presbyterian
church in an Ohio town was a good
old gentleman familiarly known as
Uncle Thomas" Although too deaf to
hear, he was always in his accustomed
seat at church, and his zeal In religious
work was untiring. Owing TO a short
age of song books In the Sabbath
school some additional ones were or
dered by ''Uncle Thomas" who appris-
ed the pastor of their arrival, and the
latter agreed to announce the fact from
the pulpit on Sunday morning.

The dog is mans most faithful

may slander his neighbor, a man may
embezzle and defraud, man may bor-

knife his best friend, man may run
people down with an automobile, a

Gus living, a man may go to heaven,

affinity between man and the dog. 1t
must be the affinity of contrast. Yet
any man will resent being called a dog.
Possibly the dog would resent being

SELLING LIVE STOCK.
Some Points For Farmers on Adver-
tising Products of the Farm.

Some Points For Farmers on Adver-
tising Products of the Farm.
On the point of advertising the prod
ucts of the farm Professor Humphrey
Of the Wisconsin Agricultural college
advised farmers in recent institute
as follows:
advertising combined with intelli-
gence and enterprise will do more to
elevate the farmer and give deserved
prominence to his occupation than any
other factor. In fact. many advan-
tages are enjoyed at the present time
by our most progressive farmers, who
may be recognized by the advertising
which they do In one way or another.
"The great majority of farmers have
not awakened to the necessity of ap-
plying anything more to their occupa-
ton than hard manual labor, which, to
be sure, is necessary and indlSpensa-
BILE, but which alone classes the farm
er with the man who works ten hours
daily with shovel and pick and earns
81 or 50 a day. Successful agricultural
advertising practiced by intelligent and
enterprising farmers will overcome
prejudice and elevate the occupation
Of farming to a plane where men can
enjoy their labor and the same lux
uries enjoyed by business men Of other
occupations and professions.
"The first step in agricultural adver-
tising is to make the farm respecta-
hlo DIaca Of huSinpSS and ono which
will incite patronage. The farm should
be christened with a suitable name
and its stock and produce marketed
under the name of the farm as well
as the name Of the proprietor. The
stock and produce should have spe-
| cif1c trademark to distinguish 1t in
name as we'll as in quality and to in
duce buyers to become permanent Gus
! toners"

had stopped running, so she and her
helper faced walk down eight flights
of stairs. For the third time in as
many hours Stella told herself that
this was the last straw.
She was not used to the grinding toll
of the city, and even the regular work
came hard When her father had died
and his wife had followed him to the
grave within Il few months all Of the
little savings had gone to the physician
and the undertaken.
Stella faced the task Of self support
bravely enough, but there were times
when her Overtired nerves were rub

things of life bore heavily upon her.
The extra work coming at the close
of a particularly trying day had eX-
hausted her vitality. Lstlessly she
climbed aboard an uptown car and
sank into a seat glad that the home
going rush was over and that she did
not have to stand up all the way.
The approach of the conductor
reused her from her absorption, and
she opened her purse. AS she glanced
into the change compartment she gave
a cry Of dismay. The pocketDoOk,

was bare of coin.
Feverishly she tumbled Its contents
into her lap, replacing the articles
after shaking them out one by one,
