DANGERS OF LONDON STREETS.

What are the opportunities lying dormant in the

ton schools from you. | wish with all my heart
we in England could borrow your evening play
centres But l think we have something now going
in London-something which you have not got
as part at any rate. of your public system-which

step both in England and America.
For what want is not merely n holiday pro-
vision. not merely al occasional Provision-we want
a daily and familiar alternative for the children OF
the poor the life of the street with It's physical
and moral danger. and to use the public
schools that purpose At least, thst is my own
experience. l don't know from experience what
your streets may be like play places for chill

OF course. the districts of London vary greatly.

Phoebe Bank Robbed.

A Phoebe dispatch of the 22nd saws:
One of the boldest robberies which
has taken place in Phoebe in a number
OF years was conSummated mt noon.
when the local bank was robbed of
about five hundred dollars. During the
noon hour, when Cashier Fitzpatrick
was mt lunch, the rear door of the bank
was forced open and an entrance made
to the inside. 1t is the custom 10 lock
i'll a drawer in the counter. money
which is used for change. when the
bank is to be closed for but Il short time.
This drawer was forced open and the
contents, amounting to about five
hundred dollars taken.
Conditions would Indicate that the
robbers had familiarizSd themselves
with the syetem employed in the bank,
from the fact that they chose the noon
hour to do their work, the only time
possible for them to have secured any
money. All money is put in n time
lock safe mt other times, which would
give the most expert n hard struggle to
open. The manner in which the back
door was battered would Indicate that
the work was done in Il crude manner,
with no thought of results other than to
gain an entrance.
The shcriff's Office was notified, and
Deputy Fitzgerald went to work upon
the case, with the result that he had
two suspects in custody within n short
time. AS to the nature of the evidence
now i'll the hands of the officers we are
unable o state. but it is understood that
Il determined effort will he made to
connect them with the theft.
Two other robberies occurred during
last night and today and there is no clue
to the guilty.

The Rev. Henry b. Hudson, who is to
lecture here next Tuesday, has been
touring the state of Idaho in behalf of
the cause he represents.
The international Reform bureau was
organized in 1895 and has its headquar-
tiers at Washington, d. G.
OF its work Bishop Mackay Smith of
Philadelphia, who has been u close oh.
server of the bureaus work for years,
speaks thus of it:
"Thc Reform bureau is one of those
institutions that are absolutely necessary
in Washington to get congress to do
things which must be done, but which
have no one to put them in motion. |
do not believe that any other society
for aiding decent things gets such large
results at so small a cost"
The people Of Elko are interested in
the matters that Mr.. Hudson will discuss
and they should turn out and hear him.

Bryan And The Pass Story

The San Francisco Call has reopened
the canard Of 1897 that William Jen.
nings Bryan travelled on n free pass"
over the lines of the Southern Pacific.
AT that time the Sacramento Bee, ex-
posed the untruthfulness of the story by
demonstrating that Bryan used tran
sportation supplied to his newspaper in
lieu of cash, which is a legitimate
transaction and so regarded throughout
the country. III commenting upon the
Calls attempt to make political capital
out of an innocent transaction, the Bee
says:
THE Calls present attack ON BRYAN
will share the fate. of its former attempt
to create n sensation. Such misrepre-
sentation in n political campaign always
reacts against the newspapers and the
party resorting to it. Bryan's sincerity
sterling, independence, honesty and
truthfulness are too well established
and recognized to be assailed with
success"

DR.. E. C. Rhodes Gets Good
Sum for a Pineapple
Farm.

Dr. E. C. Rhodes seems to have
demonstrated that small farming can
be made to pay. Three years ago he
took up Lot II in the upukea-Paumalu
tract of government land under a right
of purchase lease, at an appraised valu-
alton of $1643.75. He began the cult
walton of pineapples and other produce
on the land. On October %, last, he
received a patent for the tract from
the government, and yesterday a deed
by which he conveyed the land to Fred
E. Haley was fled for record in the
office of the Registrar of Conveyances.
The deed recites that the land is con-
veyed for the sum of $4,000 and one
third of the produce of the land from
the crops now growing and which shall
hereafter grow until December 81, 1910.
The stamp duty on the instrument
would indicate that the entire consider.
alton was between nine and ten thou
;and dollars.
