sent to Reno by the Government at
the request of Senator Nixon to ex-
anime oil fields south of the Truckee

fields in paying quantities, if at ALL

the nation.
Those who have seen young men
treading the gilded path, who have
looked upon the misery-had betting
ring. who have heard the curses and
groans of the victims know full well
that there is no good in horse racing.
The horses circlinb the track, the
keen boys astride them urging them
on to victory, present pretty pictures
E.u, the evil is in the betting ring,
where the trickery is hatched that
leads to crime.
In tn betting ring the savings banE

Ir the betting ring the home is de
stroyed.
In the betting ring the business
mar suffers.
In the betting ring integrity is for
gotten, honesty is hailueination
And the betting ring. which is one
of the accessories to racing, must be
ban red from the State of Nevada!
That is the first step in our regenera-
ton.
But if these men of millions who
own the racing associations and are
deeply interested in the gambling of
the game, desire as they avow, to
in prove the breed of horses, they are
wlcome.
Put there shall be no betting ring
or gambling on the improvement of
horses.
For Nevada is progressing.

SAN FRANCISCO, December q
The racetrack promoters who are
counting on moving over into Nevada
when the next California Legislature
closes the gambling hells at Emery
vile and Santa Anita may meet with
disappointment. Strong opposition
to making the Sagebrush State the
refuge of the sure-thing men of the
racing game has arisen in Nevada.
Several influential newspapers are al
ready out in opposition. One of them
recently expressed it's sentiments in
the following manner:
We are told by the Reno Gazette
that, regardless of whether racing
shall be barred from California, the
racing interests will invade Nevada
But Nevada will undoubtedly sa,
Hands off,"
We have enough crime on our
hands at present and we do not want
any more.
Nevada wants men to develop her
wonderful resources, not 'touts' to de
bauch her youth.
Nevada wants brains and Drawn.
not misery and suffering and en-
larged cemeteries.
Nevada wants to march onward,
not backward. She wants no hobbies
placed upon her prosperity; no check
reins upon her future.
Nevada wants to uphold, not TO
uproot.
And Nevada can do none of these
things by opening the gates to the
racing associations, which have more

CORPSE WAS DISINTERRED
Chicago Girl Declined to Believe
That Her Intended Had Been
Claimed by Death.

Chicago, June 22.-It was disclosed
today that to convince a fiancee her
sweetheart was dead and that the body
of another man had not been substi-
tuted for his, the corpse of DR.. Henry
Cragin, formerly of Philadelphia. was
recently disinterred at Rosehill ceme-
terry this city. Until Miss Elizabeth
Burns of Chicago, whom the physician
was to marry, had closely scrutinized
the features she would not give up
the conviction that the man who had
wooed and won her was living.
The apparent suddenness of the death
and burial caused Miss Burns to sus-
pect that the body was not that of
Dr. Cragin, but of another man.
Parental objection to the impending
marriage was suggested as a probable
cause for the doctor being spirited
away.
When Miss Burns finally, with the
aid of a brother, who came here from
New York, saw the body and realized
that death had stolen her sweetheart
away. she became hysterical and is
still in a highly nervous state.

NFLAMMATORY
RHEUMATISM
Most Treatments Are Unsa6sfac-
tory but DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Have Cured So Many Stub
born Gases That They
Command a Trial.

1t is unnecessary to tell the sufferer
from infammatory rheumatism that the
ordinary treatments for this disease are
unsatisfactory.
Physicians are not of one mind on the
subject but the highest authorities hold
that rheumatism is a disease of the
blood. All admit that in attacks of
rheumatism there is a marked and rapid
thinning of the blood. This is a condition
that treatment with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills at once arrests and corrects.
The thin blood is enriched, the strength
ened organs of the body throw of the
poisonous impurities and the patient gets
well.
Mr. John F. Crichton, a retired grocer,
of 1887 Fulton street, Chicago, Ill, and
a veteran of the Civil war in which he
served as a member of Co. A, l44th Hi
nois Infantry, bears witness TO this
truth. He says:
~ was afflicted with inf1ammatory
rheumatism for twenty years and had
received only temporary relief from the
doctors. About three years ago l was
helpless in bed with it. | could not use
either hand or foot for over two months
and suffered intense pain. Ny limbs
were swollen and could not move at all
without great pain. had sleepless
nights and thought l would never be
able to get around again. My friends
and comrades thought was going to
die.
II had paid out lot of money in
doctors bills but was not cured. One
day an old war comrade urged me to try
DIR. Williams Pink Pills as he knew of
cases they had cured. Before / had
taken them a great while, was feeling
much better. l improved rapidly and
was able TO get out of bed and move
around. l am now in perfect health
and have not had touch of rheumatism
in any part of my body since"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold bv
all druggists, or will be mailed, postpaid,
on receipt of price, 80 cents per box;
six boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co. Schenectady. n. Y.

NO ATTENTION PAID TO LAW
New York Comptroller Will Try to
Collect Taxes on Transfer of
Capital Stock.

Albany, n. Y. June Estate Comp
troller Martin H. Glynn announced to-
day that he has begun an investigation
to compel corporations to obey the law
taxing the transfer of shares of capital
stock.
There are about $4,000 stock compan-
les in this state which come under the
provisions of the stock transfer act.
The investigation, says a statement
given out by Mr.. Glynn, has been I'M
der way but a few days. yet the results
demonstrate that there has been a
wholesale disregard of this law on the
part of the corporations. with the at
tending loss of a large revenue to the
state.
The officials of many corporations
plead that they supposed a transfer tax
is imposed only where stock is bought
and sold through brokers for the pur-
pose of speculation, and give this as an
excuse of their non-payment.
That superstition is entirely errO-
neOus. Every transfer of ownership q
stock is subject to the tax and every
transfer made without payment of the
tax comes within the operation of the
penalty provided for noncompliance
with the law
